Chapter 411 Little Snowflake
In addition to buying grain, Hu Ju also bought a batch of pig iron from Xizhou.
Because of this pig iron trade, the Xizhou Army agreed to come to Huju's aid and the food and grass he owed could be paid later.
The workshop has been crafting arrowheads.
The molds brought by Yan Laoer were used. After the reproduction, all the iron arrowheads of Huju will be based on this size as the standard.
Yan Huaiwen brought many victims back from Gufeng and settled them in various villages within the territory.
The unoccupied old house in the village was repaired and temporarily lent to them, and the land was plotted. They could go to the government office to sow the seeds in the next spring.
Xiao'an Village also received a group of people, including fellow villagers from Da'an Village who were related to them, as well as several neighboring families.
Among them, one family has the skill of blacksmithing. With the full support of Xiaoan Village, they set up a furnace and resumed the blacksmithing business.
Pig iron was all under the control of the government. Mr. Tian made it convenient for Xiaoan Village to raise funds to purchase blacksmithing tools and a batch of pig iron as a temporary loan. Blacksmith Sha and his son began to burn furnaces to smelt iron and hammer the iron to pay off their debts.
The children sat in a circle, each finding their own little quilt to cover themselves. They also left a hole for Luo San.
Li Xuemei applied facial cream on her daughter's face.
Daya and Grandma Rong poured water into the basin outside.
Yan Yu didn't want to go out because her charcoal business was improving.
The stove barrel is neither high nor heavy, so children can easily pick it up and move it around easily.
More and more firewood and charcoal were collected, which put down some money, but she was not in a hurry.
The little girl took her cloth and smiled shyly when she saw her looking over. Then she bravely came over and wiped her hair with the cloth.
It's Qing'er.
"It's not cold anymore, Mom, our kang is so hot that I'm sweating, and my hands and feet have recovered. Look..." Yan Yu smiled and moved her toes: "Hehe, are you not flexible?!"
"Well, please be safe."
Yan Yu obediently let her do what she wanted to do, twisting her face and stretching out her hands.
More and more people are choosing door-to-door delivery, and each additional bundle is worth several dollars in profit.
Yongning City's sales volume is increasing every day, and it's only September. She has raised the price once, and the market has accepted it well.
No wonder people in the north are used to winter, when the weather is cold and freezing, why would they go outside? Isn’t it nice to sit on the warm kang at home?
The red inside is white, and the fragrant waiter comes out of the pot freshly.
Usually they burn firewood, which they can pick up on the ground, but on a snowy day like today, it is better to burn charcoal, which is warmer.
"Uncle Qi, please make a trip and ask the village to drive a car to pick us up." Yan Yu said.
"Go home!"
Da Ya was very determined: "You lie down first, and I will help you wash your hair. After washing your hair, sit down in the basin, and I will help you rub the mud."
"Qing'er, there's no need to wipe it. I'll put it on the kang to dry later," Yan Yu said.
Yan Yu took a deep breath and felt the chill in his lungs.
…
Yan Yu: Hey, hey, I don’t want to be rubbed...
She sighed in her heart: It's great. At least Huju is more gentle than Fengming. No, he is too gentle.
She hadn't laid down so comfortably for a long time, and it was inconvenient to go anywhere outside. As she was enjoying herself, she heard the sound of the door, and then the sound of light footsteps. She turned her head and looked.
Seeing this posture, Yan Yu secretly thought that it was not good.
He shrank his neck and pulled up his mask, revealing only a pair of eyes looking at the road.
The further upstream they went, the colder they got. When they came back from Fengming, the sides of the river there had begun to freeze.
"Uncle San, come quickly!" Sitie shouted.
The movements are completed in one go.
Luo San jumped onto the leading cart, pulled the reins tied together and stood up. With a whip in his hand, the leading mule started running, followed by the mules and donkeys behind, pulling several carts in a row.
When Luo Sanyi sat down, the children covered him with a quilt, and Luo Sanyi felt warm on his back.
People in Xiaoan Village now carry it with them when they go out. It can be placed on a crude iron net to put a pot to boil water, and equipped with an iron hook. It is very convenient whether it is to hook the iron net or to remove the stove barrel.
"Sister, I'll wash it myself."
But for Long Xing Feng Ming's trip, she had to take the villagers first to show them the way, so that they would not be lost after leaving with their heads covered...
Seeing the familiar small dock, the big guys docked the raft and tied it up skillfully.
Someone who sells firewood comes and cuts a few taels and a half of meat. Luo San doesn't mind that the business is small. Residents in the city gradually know that there are people here selling meat on the May and Sixth. It doesn't necessarily have to be what kind of meat.
Sometimes there are roe deer, sometimes hares, pheasants, and occasionally fish. If you want to eat some meat, you can come here and buy some when you catch up. It is somewhat cheaper than the meat stalls in the city.
…
Her movements were very unskilled, but she was attentive enough to be careful not to hurt her.
Yan Laoer and Luo San worked together to tie the firewood to the car with hemp rope and tie it tightly.
"Is it still cold? Mom, let me rub your feet." Li Xuemei said and was about to reach out, but her body was heavy and she couldn't reach it.
Da Ya brought hot water, and Grandma Rong brought in big and small basins.
Iron arrowheads are the simplest. Once you have a mold, you only need to pour red hot molten iron into it and trim it after cooling.
Fortunately, the return journey was smooth sailing. When we arrived at Longxing, we felt it was not so cold, and even more so when we entered Yongning.
Yan Yu quickly dried herself and put on the clothes her mother found, shook off the quilt and got into bed.
She plans to enter Gufeng next and copy the old path of Huju.
Dagouzi found a small quilt, wrapped it on the stove, and carried it on the first train.
If the giant goose-feather snowman stands still, it will turn into a snowman in the blink of an eye. Half of the drifting snow will melt and the other half will remain. On sunny days, the ground will be muddy, and it will freeze again at night, repeating day and night.
According to her judgment, the firewood collected from the surrounding areas of Huju and Yongning will soon be unable to meet the needs of Fucheng. They can collect firewood from Huju, but why can't Gufeng, the distance is about the same.
Not many people came to sell firewood today. After the children finished their work, Luo San also closed the stall early.
Qi Si snorted, jumped onto the shore and started running wildly.
Looking at the small snowflakes dancing leisurely in the sky.
An hour later.
"Come on, come on!" Luo San responded, and finally checked the several cars connected together to make sure they were all tied up. He turned to Yan Lao Er and said: "Brother Yan, let's go."
Another big order for the sand blacksmith was given by Yan Yu. In order to facilitate the villagers' travel in winter, a portable stove was produced in response to demand. The inside was made of iron sheets and the outside was plastered with cement to keep the temperature from being so high.
But the little girl was very insistent, and the speed of her little hands increased a little.
"Second sister, I can do it well. Don't worry, it will be fine soon." Qing'er said in a low voice.
What else can Yan Yu say? If you want to find something to do, just do it.
She simply lay down and slowly closed her eyes. After a while, a slight cry came out.
