Rebirth Craftsman

"Run slower!" The women director shouted repeatedly.

"I know, I'm at the drying rice field, I want to give my sister an egg!" Yaya's voice came from outside.

"This child!" The women director shook his head.

"Is Yaya the granddaughter of Village Chief Wang?" Liu Xing asked casually while drinking sweet potato porridge.

"Yes! His father and my Dakui are logging wood in the mountains! Two yuan a day, without food!" Director Zhang brought two chairs, one to Liu Xing, and one to himself.

"Logging is very painful! Only two yuan a day?" Liu Xing was stunned. If it were placed in Qingshi Village, no one would do it for five yuan a day.

After all, a wet cedar tree weighs at least a few hundred catties, and all of them weigh more than a thousand catties. If you cut down pine and other miscellaneous trees, the weight will double.

"There is no other way! Children need money to eat and study, and the elderly need money to see a doctor. If you don't do it, I'm afraid that you won't even have two dollars a day!" Director Zhang smiled helplessly. Sadness is only known to her when she comes.

Liu Xing is a rebirth. He naturally knows the difficulties of the villagers. In order to avoid touching the scene, he even put aside the topic: "By the way, why did Ahu's parents pass away?"

"Save people, the grandfather who saved Xiaohu and several juniors in Dongyu Village were finally killed by a wild boar!" Director Zhang sneered. Then she didn't elaborate on the reason for being killed by a wild boar, and seemed unwilling Say.

Liu Xing didn’t ask too much, just lamenting that life’s chances are really impermanent. According to Director Zhang’s words, Ahu’s parents are the heroes in the village. But as a result, Ahu encountered difficulties, but Dongyu Village couldn’t afford it. Any help.

Although being poor is one of the main reasons.

But it is not an excuse to escape.

This is the sorrow of Dongyu Village and the sorrow of this era.

Thinking of this Liu Xing was a little melancholy. If he had not been reborn, I am afraid that Qingshi Village in 1993 would not be much better.

Seeing that the sweet potato porridge in the bowl was about to be cold, I quickly took back my thoughts and ate it.

Director Zhang also brought a bowl of porridge, took Liu Xing and sat at the gate of the bamboo building to eat, chatting about some trivial things in Dongyu Village.

Just when she was almost eating, Yaya picked up a few white crystalline rocks and ran over: "Brother, I just saw a big wild boar. I hit it with this stone. You can go over. Help, I'll have wild boar back at noon!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Director Zhang quickly threw away the stone in Yaya's hand: "Where can the wild boar be killed without a shotgun, don't be dead by then!"

Liu Xing nodded in agreement: "It is said that there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are kings. In fact, they are wrong. The wild boar is the king of the mountains. An adult wild boar weighs a thousand pounds, and the tiger has to go around!"

This is not to scare the girl. The wild boar can weigh up to three or four kilograms. It is called a mobile "tank" by the hunters. If there is no good quality shotgun or high-voltage electric shock tool, it is impossible to Kill the wild boar in a short time.

As for shotguns, in 1993, they were legal in some remote villages, and they also had a firearms license issued by the local government in their hands.

After all, relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.

There is scarce land in the village where people can grow food. If they don't hunt, they will starve to death.

Director Zhang was a little worried about the children playing on the Shai Valley Farm, so he put Yaya into Liu Xing's hands: "Help me see, I have to tell the troublemakers to pay attention, don't really get hurt by the wild boar, then I can explain. Sorry."

"Go!" Liu Xing smiled.

Seeing that Yaya wanted to pick up the crystalline stone thrown away by the woman director, she hugged Yaya, but the next second he was stunned: "Huh? Isn't this saltpetre?"

"Yeah! We are everywhere in Dongyu Village!" After the female director replied, she turned and walked towards the east of Shaiguchang.

"Brother, what is saltpeter?" Yaya asked curiously, tilting her head.

"Saltpeter is a good thing, but it's not worth the money!" Liu Xing picked up a crystalline stone on the ground, and after weighing it in his hand, a bold idea emerged from his heart.

Seeing that Chief Wang would not be back this time, he said to Yaya: "Do you know where there is saltpeter around?"

"There is a mountain behind the bamboo building, a lot!" Yaya pointed out her little finger.

"Take me to find, if you have the material, I will ask you to eat popsicles!" Liu Xing led Yaya to the back of the bamboo building.

"Brother, is it that kind of Bingbing popsicle?" Yaya asked, raising her head.

"Yeah! Have you eaten it?" Liu Xing asked casually.

"Well, I ate it once. Grandpa asked me to eat it. It was delicious, but it was too expensive. It cost a dime. I only saved five cents now, which is not enough to buy one. "Yaya said, biting her index finger, jumping all the way.

Liu Xing didn't know why he felt distressed. He couldn't even eat a dime a popsicle. How poor this Dongyu Village is!

Don't they know how to use this saltpeter to make popsicles?

The materials and processes are actually very simple.

If nothing else, he remembers that the use of saltpeter to make ice had already been explored in the last years of the Tang Dynasty. It has been 93 years. Is the craftsmanship lost?

With this doubt, Liu Xing threw the saltpeter in his hand into the ditch to the side. Seeing that the weight was not enough, he picked up the other pieces on the ground.

After waiting for a while, ice appeared in the ditch and then it melted.

Yaya looked funny, and immediately picked up several saltpeters from the hill behind the track and threw them into the ditch.

There was not much water in the ditch, but after being thrown by saltpeter, it all disappeared and turned into a fuzzy block of ice.

Liu Xing looked at it with a smile, and immediately picked up Yaya and walked towards the back mountain of the bamboo building.

At a distance of only two hundred meters, Liu Xing saw a one-person-high cave. The cave was full of saltpeter mines, scattered all around because of no one.

Liu Xing walked over and pulled it hard with his hand, and buckled a fist-sized saltpeter. Seeing that its color and composition were quite pure, if it was used to make ice, the effect would be good without thinking.

But if you want to take it to the bamboo house to make ice, this saltpeter is not enough.

Seeing that he was idle, he asked Yaya to find a load of skips, then picked up a load with bare hands and picked it into the bamboo building.

Director Zhang just came back at this time. He saw Liu Xing's behavior and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why do you pick such a load of saltpeter?"

"Make popsicles for Yaya!" Liu Xing replied with a smile.

"Huh?" Director Zhang thought he had misheard.

"Yeah! Brother made me popsicles, very sweet ones!" Yaya said happily from the side.

"Impossible, how can this saltpeter make popsicles? If it can, those who sell popsicles in the town will lose their jobs!" The female director said in a funny way.
