Bai Haitang sealed the kiln mouth with mud and water, and then ignited the charcoal in the kiln from the smoke exhaust port at the top.
The fire gradually burned, and bursts of black smoke were emitted from the smoke outlet...
After the black smoke was discharged, white smoke began to be discharged again. After another hour, when all the white smoke was discharged, Bai Haitang also sealed the exhaust vent with muddy water.
In this way, the inside of the earthen kiln becomes a completely sealed space. If a little air enters, it will burn again after it is burned out, and the charcoal will burn out, so it is important to form a closed space.
You can feel the heat around you outside the kiln. In the summer, Bai Haitang is already sweating profusely.
At this time, the door opened and my mother-in-law came in.
"Daughter-in-law, why is it so hot here?" The mother-in-law fanned up the fan in her hand, and suddenly she couldn't stand the temperature anymore.
"Mom, are you looking for me if you have anything to do?" Bai Haitang wiped his sweat. Normally, her mother-in-law stayed in her yard and did not enter the dyeing workshop. When it was first built, she also set a rule that the dispensing room only had
You can enter yourself, but others cannot enter without permission.
"I just saw a lot of black smoke coming out, and then it turned into white smoke. I'm afraid you..." said the mother-in-law worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm mixing dye." Bai Haitang said and led her mother-in-law out and locked the door.
These charcoals need to burn for at least a day and night, plus cooling time for at least two days. Lock the door and forget about it.
Although the mother-in-law is puzzled, she believes that her daughter-in-law can bring great wealth to the family. If her son wins the top prize in high school in the future, the family will be blessed with many happy events.
Just sit back and enjoy the blessings.
"You, don't be too tired. How can you take care of Tiantian when you are exhausted?" said the mother-in-law.
"Don't worry, I understand. Your hairpin is so beautiful." Bai Haitang quickly changed the subject.
"I bought it from Er Tong. This son usually seems careless, but he is very attentive. He even knew how to buy me a hairpin." The mother-in-law happily touched her hair with a smile on her face.
I sent my mother-in-law to weave and came to the courtyard of the dyeing workshop, where Wintersweet was dyeing cloth.
"Wangmei, help me prepare some dry food, big cakes and steamed buns, as well as bamboo tubes for water and fire dumplings." Haitang ordered.
Lamei knew that Sister Haitang was determined and couldn't pull back ten cows, so she went to prepare these things as instructed, and specially put five eggs and five salted duck eggs in the bag.
While waiting for the charcoal to burn, Bai Haitang used soil and water to make a dozen clay bottles the size of table tennis balls, leaving a hole the size of a glass ball on them, and then placed them in the sun to dry.
These earthen bottles were used to hold gunpowder.
In addition, Bai Haitang also whittled a bamboo knife and put it in the package. He also paid ten copper coins to carry it with him.
I studied the copied map of Shuilian Mountain and found out the shortest path from Qiaotou Village to there, which places I passed along the way, and where I could resupply. I roughly counted these Bai Haitang.
When I left Qiaotou Village for the first time, I felt a little excited, a little worried, and a complicated mixture of emotions.
But she knew that for Roselle, she had to conquer Shuilian Mountain.
Which plants on the mountain are poisonous and which plants are edible? These white begonias also keep them in mind.
She knows that only by being as prepared as possible can we reduce the occurrence of "events". Even if they happen, there are ways to deal with them.
