The chimney on Rujia Kiln in Xishantun started to smoke.
On a sunny day with clear autumn clouds, the black smoke from the chimneys can be seen in villages three to five miles away, and many people come to watch the excitement.
Some people inquired about the price of bricks and tiles, and some even wanted to buy them and place orders in advance.
They were disappointed when they heard that the first kiln was not selling them.
I was vaguely worried that if I couldn't grab the next kiln, someone wanted to place a deposit, but Rumei blocked it.
"The bricks and tiles from years ago have been sold to communes and grain stores.
My family is building a house now, so we have to keep a lot.
Whoever wants it will wait until after the new year and the beginning of spring."
"If there are too many people in line, you have to wait later.
Our family will deliver the goods in the order of paying the deposit.
Otherwise, there is no first-come, first-served basis, and it is not good to offend anyone."
"Bricks have to be thrown one by one, and tiles have to be fired kiln by kiln.
There is no need to rush.
If you really need it urgently, then go to the county south kiln and buy it.
Our family won't stop it, and we won't be angry.
Next time Next time, how should we receive the reception?”
Speaking of being anxious, there are really not many people who are very anxious.
No house is built, and no one sleeps on the ground.
Even if there are a few people who want to get married and have a wife, they usually build houses with mud walls and grass tiles.
Even if they have a house with mud walls and tiles, they rarely want to think about blue bricks and tiles, and even less.
Therefore, those who buy bricks are not in a hurry, and those who sell bricks are even less anxious.
There were no bricks or tiles even a year ago.
What's the hurry?
Before the kiln could be opened to pull bricks, the foundation digging in Rujia's yard began.
Taking advantage of the fact that there is no rain and no autumn harvest, if we don’t start work now, when will we wait?
The yard became lively, Rumei was very busy, and Jin Huan came every day, so the workload was much heavier.
First things have to be put away.
All large and small objects in the yard, including pig pens, sheep pens, chickens, ducks and rabbits, must be arranged.
The two of them are so busy every day that the task of boiling water has tripled.
When I get busy, the days seem to pass very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the day to open the kiln.
Early in the morning, Ru Mei Niang invited the pig butcher.
She had already agreed that she would kill the pig at home today to entertain the master and craftsmen.
It is not only a reward, but also a sacrifice is required to open the kiln.
Therefore, killing pigs is very appropriate.
After placing the pig's head at the door of the cave for a while, Master Meng, the potter, finished praying, sprinkled wine, lit incense, and then shouted: "Open the kiln."
The cave dwelling was burned for seven days and watered for seven days, so it takes about half a month to wait for one kiln brick, which is necessary for the process.
A cart of bricks and tiles was pulled out by Jin Zhu and Ruquan.
People crowded in and touched them with their hands.
They were still warm.
Master Meng picked up a brick with his rough hands, turned it back and forth, inspected it, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, done."
Everyone cheered, "It's done."
Only then did Ruquan light the firecrackers, which exploded with a "crackling" sound.
Rumei was wearing a red dress, but she responded to the situation.
Looking at the smiling faces of everyone, she let out a long breath.
After the excitement was over, Rumei and Rumei packed up the offerings, pig heads, etc. into the basket and went home to cook.

Today not only the masters and craftsmen were invited, but also people from the commune were invited.
Of course, the commune S and the minister of armed forces did not come, but they sent their closest people over to save face, and they can be regarded as liaisons with the kilns in the future.
Rujia did not dare to neglect at all.
They entertained them well, gave them plenty of face, and even gave each person two packs of cigarettes.
After eating, they were sent to the entrance of the village respectfully.
They watched the two people get on their bicycles and stagger away.
Ru Mei's father and Ru Quan then went home.
