Chapter 40 Brick-burning success

Chen Xiayue just listened to Zhang Tingting's gossip. She had nothing to worry about whether Zhou Jianye and Ye Yun would get married. If Ye Yun didn't marry Zhou Jianye, he would be unable to survive by rumors? That's impossible. The novel is still jumping around with millions of words. How could he not survive?

Chen Xiayue rubbed Zhang Tingting's head and said, "Okay, let's continue reading, gossip and talk about it next time."

Zhang Tingting smiled embarrassedly, took her book and started learning with her cousin-law. Because Zhang Chengchuan is very busy now, she first studied liberal arts knowledge and asked him for science knowledge when Zhang Chengchuan has time.

After all, Zhang Tingting is still a student. After the holiday ends quickly, she returns to school to go to school. The gossip on the brigade is still on Ye Yun and the Zhou family.

Zhou Jianye has gradually disappeared from the beginning of the topic during this period. Now everyone's topic is about Ye Yun and the rest of the Zhou family. No one has mentioned Zhou Jianye, the original protagonist, again.

Because Zhou Jianye was recently arrested by Zhang Chengchuan to help study the bricks, of course, in addition to Zhou Jianye, there was Zhang Changjun, and the three of them studied together.

Zhang Chengchuan and the other three did an experiment. After burning it twice, they finally burned the tiled bricks. However, because the brick kiln is relatively small, they only burned five bricks at a time, and only two bricks were successful.

Zhang Chengchuan and the other three were very surprised to see the two successful bricks. They had no experience and could only burn two bricks according to the theoretical knowledge that Zhang Chengchuan had just learned. They were already satisfied enough.

The bricks were burned out, but the success rate was not high. Zhang Chengchuan and the two continued to burn, slowly changing the ratio and the temperature of the firing kiln. After a few days of exploration, it was finally completed.

A lot of bricks were burned and some tiles were burned. Zhang Chengchuan took Zhang Changjun and Zhou Jianye to repair his roof, and then went to the captain to tell him that the brick kiln was built in the name of the brigade.

In this era, it was impossible to do business in private names, and the same was true for brick kilns. Zhang Chengchuan was not the kind of person who liked to work like burning kilns every day. Of course, he asked the captain to ask him to do it in the name of the team.

The captain Zhou Mingyi was taken to the small brick kiln in his backyard by Zhang Chengchuan. Looking at the burned bricks and the remaining tiles, he said in surprise, "Okay, Achuan, you are very capable, you even burned bricks and tiles."

Zhang Chengchuan smiled and said to Zhou Mingyi, "Captain, can this be done in the name of our brigade? At that time, not only can our brigade house be built, but it can also be sold to other brigades in the future."

Zhou Mingyi patted his shoulder and said, "Of course, Achuan, you have found a very good job for our brigade."

The captain saw the bricks and tiles burned by Zhang Chengchuan, so he began to prepare for the establishment of a brick kiln in his own brigade. Of course, the establishment of brick kilns in the name of the brigade must be reported to the superiors. These were all done by the captain and Zhang Deping and others of the village committee.

Zhang Chengchuan is now just continuing to study better ways to burn bricks with Zhang Changjun and others. When the team leader gets done, they can use it directly with more convenient and better matching to burn bricks.

Chen Xiayue didn't make anything during this period when Zhang Chengchuan and the others were busy, so she often made some delicious food for them.

Now Chen Xiayue’s farm has been upgraded to level 8, and maybe she can upgrade to level 9 soon. Moreover, she has grown a lot of sweet potatoes and has unlocked the next new crop.

The newly unlocked crop on the farm is cabbage. Although it is not a grain crop, Chen Xiayue is quite satisfied. After all, cabbage is delicious. Whether it is used to make sauerkraut, other dishes or even dry vegetables, it is also OK. Moreover, cabbage is large and has a high yield.

After Chen Xiayue planted the cabbage, she gave it to her family, as well as Zhang Changjun, Zhou Jianye and others to make cabbage and pork dumplings together, which made Zhang Changjun and Zhou Jianye very satisfied.

The captain was still very happy to do business. The Yunhe Brigade's brick kiln was quickly approved, and the captain summoned all the team members to announce the matter.

This time, Zhang Chengchuan, Zhang Changjun and Zhou Jianye became famous in the brigade, and Yang Yun was even more sure of Zhou Jianye.

In the original work, Zhou Jianye had to wait until more than ten years later to start his business in the 1980s, but now Zhou Jianye has already studied the technology of burning bricks with others. Can Zhou Jianye not make a fortune by relying on the technology of burning bricks?

Everyone in Yunhe Brigade was shocked by the construction of brick kilns. After being stunned, they were ecstatic. Because building brick kilns means they have other income. Although they are not as good as those in the south when the mountains are closed with heavy snow, there are also times when the farm is slack.

Who doesn’t want to make money by burning bricks and tiles during the slack season? Moreover, not everyone knows the technology of burning bricks and tiles. In this era, everything is difficult to buy, and bricks and tiles are even harder to buy. So if their brigade builds a brick kiln, wouldn’t it be possible to make a lot of money?

Later, the entire brigade was busy building the brick kiln first. Zhang Chengchuan, as the leader and the one with excellent skills, has been busy instructing everyone how to build brick kilns, how to select soil, how to match and how to burn bricks.

Chen Xiayue couldn't help, and all she could do was to make delicious food to reward him, because Zhang Chengchuan's activities were very large during this period, so eating more good food could make up for it.

Chen Xiayue didn't follow everyone to work and the family didn't say anything. They all took care of her health. As for whether the others in the brigade would complain, Chen Xiayue didn't work, and didn't share other people's work points, and didn't share other people's food, what complaints could they have?

Even if some people are so mean that Chen Xiayue is lazy, the Zhang family will not be together, and even Liu Guiying or Zhang Chengchuan will fight back.

Chen Xiayue did not do anything. She was taken care of by Chen Xiayue during this period. When it was time to apply fertilizer, she bought fertilizer from the farm to apply fertilizer.

The fertilizer produced on the farm is not the kind of fertilizer that will condense in later generations. The fertilizer produced on the farm not only provides nutrition to the crops, but also fertilizes the land.

Later generations used too much fertilizers and the fertility of the land would decrease, and the land would become harder, but the fertilizer produced on the farm would not.

After Chen Xiayue fertilized the corn and sweet potatoes in her private fields, she focused on taking care of the vegetables at home. The pumpkins, loofahs, bitter gourds and beans she grew all looked good, as well as leeks, water spinach, oilseed, mustard greens, cabbage, Shanghai greens, rapeseed hearts and other vegetables.

Onion, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers are even more indispensable. Chen Xiayue does not have the seeds of bell peppers and green peppers, so she planted millet peppers and pine peppers, which is just two plants in one type, which is enough to eat.
