Seeing this, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan also expressed their intention to send some books. Jia Cong did not refuse and happily accepted.
"Thank you brothers and sisters for your generosity. I am here to thank you all. How about I tell you a story to express my gratitude?"
Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Don't talk about what we have heard. What we haven't heard is fine. What doesn't sound good doesn't count as long as we are satisfied."
Upon hearing this, Xichun shouted happily: "Third brother, I like to listen to stories. Please start telling them quickly."
"Then let me tell you the story of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". You must have never heard of it."
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one had heard of it, and they all nodded in agreement.
The demos, a group of small children, listened to fairy tales and were still convinced.
"In a distant country, there lived a king and queen. They longed to have a child, so they prayed to God sincerely.
'Oh, God! We are all good kings and queens, please give us a child! '
Soon after, the queen gave birth to a lovely little princess. This girl's skin was as white as snow, her cheeks were as red as apples, and her hair was black and soft. Therefore, the king and queen named her "Snow White". .
Under the favor of the king and queen, Snow White gradually grew up and finally became a beautiful girl loved by everyone. Snow White is very kind and caring. She often plays with animals...
However, the good times did not last long, Snow White's mother fell ill and died.
The king married a new queen, who was a witch who was proficient in magic. Although she is very beautiful, she has a very proud and irritable personality. She especially hates others who are more beautiful than her.
The new queen has a very strange mirror, and you can get all the answers you want to know from the mirror. The Queen often looks into the mirror and asks: 'Mirror, Mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world? '
"Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than you!"
The queen was very angry and angry when she heard this: 'No one can be more beautiful than me! '
So, she asked a guard to kill Snow White...
Snow White escaped into the forest and met seven dwarfs...
When the queen knew that Snow White was not dead, she turned into an old woman and went to the forest to give her a poison apple, which poisoned Snow White to death...
When the dwarfs came back they found Snow White dead and were very sad. They put Snow White in a glass coffin...
A prince passing by found Snow White in the glass coffin...
The prince rescued Snow White...
After the Queen killed Snow White, she proudly asked the Magic Mirror: "Mirror, Mirror, I should be the most beautiful person in the world, right?" '
The magic mirror replied: "Snow White, who is about to marry the prince, is thousands of times more beautiful than you." '
When the queen heard this, she became very angry. "
After the story was told, Jia Cong showed a satisfied smile as he looked at the group of young ladies and young ladies who were still immersed in the story.
Xichun was the first to speak: "That queen was so bad, but she was so angry that she was so angry that she really relieved her hatred. Third brother, this story is so good."
Jia Huan said cheerfully: "Those seven dwarfs are so fun, Sneezy, Know-it-all, Sleepy, Pistachio, Angry, Silly, Shy, hee hee, what an interesting name."
Jia Baoyu murmured: "Princess Snow White is so beautiful! Can a kiss really save someone? I don't know where Princess Snow White is now? It would be great if we could meet her!"
Baoyu started to get crazy again at this time. When everyone saw this, they covered their mouths and snickered, but they didn't mind as they had long been accustomed to it.
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Brother Cong, you told this story quite well. You have passed the test. How about telling another one?"
"The third brother will tell you one more thing, the third brother will tell you another one."
Jia Cong glanced around and saw the expectant and eager eyes of everyone, so he had no choice but to compromise and decided to talk one more time.
"Okay, let me tell you another one, "The Daughter of the Sea," which is about a mermaid. You haven't heard of it, right?"
Everyone shook their heads, "If you haven't heard of it, let's just talk about it."
Jia Cong nodded and began to speak.
"A long time ago, at the bottom of the sea, there lived a beautiful little mermaid princess...
One day she rescued a prince on the sea...
A witch found her...
······
Finally, the little mermaid turned into bubbles, colorful under the sun, and scattered in the wind. "
Several little beauties looked at Jia Cong with resentment, "Third brother, how could you let the little mermaid turn into a bubble? This ending is not good at all."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The little mermaid doesn't want to hurt the person she likes, so she can only choose to sacrifice herself. This is her own choice, and I have no choice. Okay, don't get entangled, this is just a story."
Jia Baoyu opened the door silently and looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to see if the bubbles the Little Mermaid had turned into would fly here.
Lin Daiyu's eyes were rolling around, not knowing what she was planning.
It wasn't until dusk that a group of young ancestors were sent away, which was considered a successful completion of today's mission.
Early the next morning, Jia Cong finished practicing and came to the front yard.
The butler Zhang Fu came forward and said, "Third Master, the blacksmith has already made what you asked for. In addition, we asked for a cart each of the coal blocks and powder you asked for, and they have been placed in a separate courtyard."
Jia Cong nodded slightly and took the lead to walk to a small courtyard nearby.
"Come on, let's go over and take a look."
Walking into the small courtyard, I saw two iron stoves, two briquette stoves, and two sets of briquette molds in the yard. There were two piles of pebbles piled next to them. One pile was in the shape of an apple, and the other was all fine coal. fine powder.
Jia Cong inspected each one carefully and found that the two stoves were fairly well made. Although the mold was a little unsatisfactory, it was just fine.
Jia Cong took it upon himself to mix the charcoal powder and loess in a certain proportion, then added water and mixed them evenly, turning them into thick black mud.
Pick up the mold and press it hard to fill the black mud into the mold. After the mold is firmly pressed, push the push rod on it to push the honeycomb briquettes out of the mold.
A honeycomb briquette is made.
He made a dozen more in a row, called Tiezhu, and asked him to continue doing it in his own way. He made all the mixed mud, and asked Wangcai to place the made briquettes one by one. Let it dry while you're at it.
Zhang Fu looked at it for a while, and he also saw that the briquettes made by Mr. San were used for burning, but he still couldn't help asking: "Mr. San, this charcoal powder does not exist in the first place." If you use it, mix it with loess, will that work?"
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "You may not believe it if I say it's OK now. You'll know the answer when you see it with your own eyes tomorrow."
He also wiped one side of the furnaces of the two iron stoves with yellow mud, changed the shape inside, and installed the two chimneys. Everything was ready. After the briquettes dried, he could go to work with Jia She. .
