Siheyuan: Returning from studying abroad, with extraordinary understanding

Seeing that everyone was curious about testing the weight of the wood, Lin Wanting couldn't help but try it out as well.

He came to the wood and reached out to lift it, but Da Niu saw him and stopped him immediately.

"Aunt Tingting, the wood is very heavy, don't lift it, it will crush your feet and that will be bad."

"Yes, cousin, don't lift the big wood."

Daya was also trying to persuade them.

"what?"

After hearing the persuasion from her two cousins, Lin Wanting looked at her eldest brother guiltily and found that he was also looking at her.

So, I walked down the steps, “Okay, I won’t lift it!”

Lin Changqing smiled, walked over, bent down and held her little hand.

"Sister, you are still young, so don't carry these woods. Let's see how the sweet potato kiln is doing."

"Okay." Lin Wanting heard about roasted sweet potatoes for the first time and was curious about the method her elder brother used to roast the sweet potatoes.

Lin Changqing took his sister to the place where the earth kilns were built and found that three earth kilns had already been built.

There were seven more who also started working, each with three young men on the base.

Judging from the progress, one layer has been built.

Building an earth kiln is quite simple. As long as you master the method and have someone to help, it can be easily done.

Lin Wanting saw the earthen kiln and thought it was fun, so she wanted to join in.

"Brother, I also want to build a kiln."

"Well, let's build one!"

Ten earthen kilns might not be enough, and since his sister wanted to play, Lin Changqing agreed.

"Uncle, I want to learn too!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

The three little ones also wanted to play with building earthen kilns, and Lin Changqing agreed with a smile.

"Okay, you guys will help later!"

"Uh-huh!"

The four little ones immediately nodded in agreement.

After getting Lin Changqing's approval, the four kids were very enthusiastic and rolled up their sleeves to get to work.

"Daniu, go get the hoe."

"Okay! Uncle!"

Daniu immediately ran over to borrow a hoe.

At the foot of the mountain, the top layer of soil is dry, which is very suitable for building earth kilns.

There were quite a lot of people, so we brought several hoes.

Da Niu quickly took the hoe.

Lin Changqing took the hoe, found a suitable location, and dug the stove of the earthen kiln.

The earthen kiln is a place where fire is burned at the bottom to heat the mud blocks piled up on top, and the sweet potatoes are roasted with the help of the temperature of the burnt charcoal and the mud blocks.

The sweet potatoes baked in this way not only have a skin that is not burnt, but also smell delicious!

If you grill it directly with charcoal fire, it will easily burn, and it is easy to cause half of it to be burnt while the other side is not cooked.

There will be no such situation when using this earth kiln, at most it will be unfamiliar.

The sweet potatoes you choose also have to be careful. They can’t be too big or too small. If they are too big, they will not be cooked, and if they are too small, they will burn.

When Lin Changqing saw the sweet potatoes from his grandfather's house, he knew they were very suitable.

Maybe it’s a problem of fertility. The sweet potatoes at my grandfather’s house are not big, far less than the two kilograms or more sweet potatoes in the small world.

The maximum width is only three fingers, so it is very suitable for kilning sweet potatoes.

After Lin Changqing dug the stove chamber, he began to dig the soil. The first layer of soil blocks were the largest, while the second layer were smaller. They also had to be closed inwards, otherwise they would not fit together in the end.

If there is an opening on the top, the fire will go out and the temperature will not rise.

Digging soil was very easy for Lin Changqing. He could accurately control the size of the soil blocks, calculate the soil blocks for building the earth kiln, and then start digging.

Lin Wanting and her three cousins ​​stood aside and watched quietly.

But when they saw Lin Changqing's operation, they all exclaimed and said that Lin Changqing was amazing.

Lin Changqing did not feel ashamed to be admired by a group of children, but accepted it happily.

Soon, the soil was dug out.

"Daniu, give the hoe back!"

"Uncle, put it here first and return it after the kiln is built."

Obviously, Da Niu was afraid that after he left, Lin Changqing would teach his younger brothers and sisters and cousin how to build earthen kilns instead of teaching him.

"Go and return it first! We'll wait for you here. When you come back, we'll build another earth kiln!"

Lin Changqing naturally saw what he was thinking.

"Then my uncle must wait for me!"

"Will do!"

Daniu took the hoe and ran away.

Lin Changqing and the three little ones all looked at the big bull running over.

In less than a minute, Da Niu returned the hoe and ran back.

"Okay, now that the big guy is here, the rest is up to you! I won't do it, so you learn to build an earthen kiln by yourselves."

"Really? We're going to build the base ourselves?"

"Yes! You four come and build the base. I'll watch from the side. Don't let me miss out on the sweet potatoes!"

Don't underestimate children's hands-on ability. They can do it well even without adults around.

Some parents worry too much about their children and don't let them do anything, which makes them lose a lot of happiness.

Only by doing it themselves can they feel a sense of accomplishment and find happiness.

Lin Changqing just gave the opportunity to the four little ones. There was no danger in building an earthen kiln.

Let the four little ones experience the joy of hands-on work instead of just watching from the sidelines.

Only by doing it yourself can you know what it feels like to build an earth kiln.

"Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely let you eat sweet potatoes."

Daniu immediately patted his chest and made the promise.

"Brother, I won't let you go without sweet potatoes. I have just tried my best to learn. I will definitely build a kiln and let you eat sweet potatoes."

"I've studied hard, too, uncle, don't worry!"

Daya also made the promise with a serious look on her face.

Erniu was no exception. Although his reaction was a little slow, his expression was serious.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. If you build it well, I'll make you a car!"

"A small car? Is it a big car that can carry a lot of things?"

Although the three little ones had never been to the city, they had heard stories from their second grandfather, Lin Changqing's second uncle.

"Yes! It's a big cart! But you have to wait until you build the earthen kiln before you can get it! ~"

After listening to Lin Changqing's words, the four little ones became more active.

At this time, Lin Wanting showed excellent command ability and guided the three people on how to build an earth kiln.

She has a very strong memory and remembers all the steps of building an earthen kiln.

No need to think, the idea will automatically pop up in your mind at any step.

Lin Changqing was also busy, and went to take out his load of wood and carpentry tools.

When the children saw Lin Changqing carrying wood, they all looked at him in surprise.

Following behind him, screaming.

At the same time, words like "really powerful and amazing" burst out of his mouth.

Lin Changqing ignored them and came to a place two meters away from the four little ones. He put down his things, took out the tools, and started making toys.

With just his strength and mental power, he could make the parts he wanted at will without using a ruler.

In his hands, wood was like tofu and could be easily made into parts.

On Lin Wanting's side, under her command, the earthen kiln was built in an orderly manner.

The two sides have nothing to do with each other and are content.
