When Chou Chou drove the cart near, everyone ran over and surrounded the donkey cart.
The men gathered around the donkey, and Yang Dashan couldn't help but open the donkey's mouth and look at its teeth.
He said happily: "It turned out to be a three-year-old donkey, in his prime! Those officers and soldiers actually left it in the coal mine and did not take it away."
The women praised Chou Chou one after another, of course they were praising Xue Qingyan. They were not sure whether Chou Chou, the monkey, could understand them.
“Ms.
"Yes, yes, it must be the divine monkey who has descended to earth. Miss Xue is also like a fairy. She is not a mortal at first glance."
"Oh my god! These are all iron tools! Chou Chou actually brought back so many iron tools!"
"This car is good. Looking at the iron sheets on the wheels, it's still brand new. It should have been built not long ago."
"With this car, do we no longer need to repair that cart? Can we leave here quickly?" This is Grandma Lanhua. After all, she still has some lingering fears about the Khitan people.
Having said this, everyone looked at the men to see what they would say.
Several men also came to see what was on the car and were surprised to see the tools on it.
Their stone hammer hit two knives, and one of them was already useless. After all, the stone is not as hard as iron.
Another thing, hammering the red-hot iron all the time made the stone hammer more fragile. It broke after just a few hits. The iron hammer was definitely better to use.
After listening to Grandma Lanhua's words, Yang Dashan replied: "This car should be used to pull coal out of the coal cave. It is narrower than ordinary cars and cannot hold too many things.
There are so many of us, and it will be full just for food, and there will be no room for other items. We still need to repair the cart.
One more car means more protection, and don't forget, there is Brother Liu. He couldn't walk in the past few days, so he must sit in the car.
If there are two cars, let's change the cart to be larger and let the donkey pull it. This cart is relatively new and will definitely be lighter than that cart. We men can pull it interchangeably, so we can carry more. Less stuff. "
The old ladies became silent after hearing this. Knowing that they needed to repair the cart, they packed up a lot more things that they had originally planned to leave behind. They also pulled out all the vegetables at home and prepared them for eating on the road. Count how many days you eat.
Of course it would be better to have one more car.
While Qingyan was talking, she took a look at the set of tools in the car. They looked heavy and rusty. They probably hadn't been used for a long time, so she didn't take them away.
Pick up a pointed pestle. This should be used for breaking rocks when digging a mine. It is also used when drilling holes in iron sheets.
But there are still no nails, so that thing probably needs to be customized.
He sent a message to Chou Chou, who was riding on the donkey, and said, "Chou Chou, look for any iron nails in the tool box in the trunk. Forget about steel nails. That thing is too glaring when you take it out. It's best to use iron nails." This is still there, even if the shape is slightly different, you can’t tell.”
After Chou Chou agreed, he began to search around his space with his mind, and jumped into Qing Yan's arms.
Qingyan held it with one hand and took the iron nail from its paw with the other hand and looked at it. It was indeed iron, with some rust on it. She didn't know what her father was using it for in the tool box.
It's long enough, about ten centimeters in length. This big iron nail can definitely be used.
So he was deliberately surprised and said: "Oh! Chou Chou, you actually brought this thing back! It's great, it's just for nailing iron sheets."
When everyone heard her voice, they all turned their heads and were surprised to see the five iron nails in her hand, especially the men.
Yang Erzhuang came over and took a closer look, "That's great. We were just worried about how to fix the iron sheet to the wheel. The rivets are not easy to find. We have to go to the blacksmith shop in the town to buy them. I didn’t expect Chou Chou to have thought of all this.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Chou Chou's little head. He looked at the black dust on his hands and took it back in embarrassment.
They were not only forging iron, but also filling the furnace with coal from time to time, so their hands were very dark.
I looked at the clean white hair on Chou Chou's head. It's going to be blackened and it's hard to wash it off.
After hearing what they said, Chou Chou raised his head proudly and squeaked twice. His arrogant little look made everyone laugh.
After that, Yang Dawang drove the donkey cart to the village. They just came over and reached the open space below the slope.
While driving the cart, Yang Dawang said: "This donkey is much taller and stronger than the donkeys of Yang Fugui's family. Look at the tendon meat on this body. Could it be the donkey king on the mountain?"
These officers and soldiers are more capable than us and can catch such a good wild ass. This thing is very ferocious! "
Qingyan asked curiously: "Does this donkey live in the mountains?"
Yang Dawang turned around and explained: "Yes, Miss Xue doesn't know something. There are wild donkeys in the mountains here, and they are very difficult to catch.
This kind of donkey is not as docile as ordinary small donkeys. Those ferocious beasts dare not mess with them. The donkey's hooves are very hard and can directly kick the ferocious beasts to death. "
Qingyan was a little surprised. This was the first time she knew that this donkey was so powerful.
But think about the donkeys in her Xiangxiang Space. Their hooves can break stones. It’s impossible for those beasts’ heads to be as hard as stones, right?
Of course, the one in her house drank the water from the spiritual spring, so she felt that the wild donkey shouldn't be too different.
The donkey cart was led to the place where iron was struck. Several people first unloaded the three sacks of coal, and then took down the tools.
Tie Gao won't be able to use it for the time being. The shovel can be used to add coal to the stove, which is much more convenient than using hands.
The hammer was the most useful, because Qingyan had told her that before, Chou Chou only took one. When he went to catch the donkey, he ran to the coal mine and brought two more hammers.
So now there is an iron shovel, a shovel, three hammers, and an iron pestle.
In this way, all five people have work to do. One of them adds coal to ensure that the fire in the stove does not go out and the temperature remains high.
One took off the handles of the big knives and burned them inside, while the others clanged and beat them.
Qingyan looked at the stone underneath, as well as several pieces of gravel and broken hammers beside it. After thinking about it, she picked up the Gao and said, "You can put Gao's head on the stone and heat it up." Put your knife on it and hammer it, it will save old and bad stones."
