Chapter 117 Successfully blacklisted in the stable

Not long after, a donkey cart ran out of the stable and headed straight for the county town.

Li Guoqiang sat in the passenger seat of the donkey cart, carefully watching Lao Sun waving the whip and pulling the reins. He quickly activated his driving skills and reached the L3 level in one go.

Afterwards, his skill experience climbed up at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, he broke through to L4 and continued to stride towards L5.

Ever since he upgraded the health-preserving breathing method, the True Five Animals Diagram, and Xingyiquan to the L6 level, learning other skills, especially some sports skills, has been as easy as divine help.

Basically, it doesn't take much effort to upgrade your skills to L5 level, and then they will slow down suddenly.

Seeing how seriously Li Guoqiang was studying, Old Sun suddenly pulled the reins hard, stopped the donkey, and then laughed and suggested, "Why don't you try it?"

"Okay!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he nodded quickly and agreed.

After saying that, he immediately switched positions with Lao Sun, and then, according to the driving skills taught by Dad Jin, he cracked the whip hard.

In an instant, there was a loud bang in the air, and then the donkey was seen moving quickly forward.

When Old Sun saw this, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Originally he thought that Li Guoqiang had no way to deal with this stubborn donkey and wanted to see Li Guoqiang make a fool of himself. However, he did not expect that Li Guoqiang learned how to whip so easily, and even the sound he made was no less than his.

This reminded him of Sun Jinwang, who had been learning to drive with him for more than half a year, but still hadn't completely learned how to whip the car, and it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.

Could it be that this kid is really a genius in learning arts?

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea what Lao Sun was thinking. He held the reins seriously and sent different instructions to the donkey according to the road conditions to control the speed of the donkey cart.

By the time they arrived at the county town, his driving skills had successfully reached L5.

Old Sun looked at Li Guoqiang's skillful driving movements with a numb look on his face, as if he had become accustomed to Li Guoqiang's extraordinary learning ability.

If someone told him now that Li Guoqiang was the reincarnation of Wenquxing from heaven, he probably wouldn't refute it.

You know, he has been dealing with donkeys for most of his life, which earned him the ability to drive a car. However, Li Guoqiang almost caught up with him in just a few seconds. What else could this be but the reincarnation of Wenquxing?
Ugh!
It's true, comparing yourself to others will only make you angry!

Soon, Li Guoqiang drove his donkey cart to the supply and marketing cooperative, and took out the educated youth settlement certificate and shopping book he had received earlier, and bought all the things he was eligible to buy after settling down, such as thermos, enamel teacup, enamel washbasin, toothbrush, tooth powder, towel, soap, coal stove, iron pot, spatula, kitchen knife, kang mat, matches, kerosene, etc.

Anyway, he is not short of money now. Since this opportunity is rare, he naturally has to exchange the money for various supplies.

For the iron pot, he chose the largest one, put everything else into the big iron pot, and then moved the big iron pot onto the donkey cart.

Then he picked out a large water jar that did not require a ticket and asked someone to help him tie the jar firmly to the donkey cart.

At this point, the only thing he wanted to buy was the tiles.

Just when he was about to ask someone where he could buy tiles, Lao Sun suddenly asked him to wait a moment, then took the enamel basin he had just bought and walked into a nearby alley alone.

Not long after, Old Sun came back carrying a large basin full of broken tiles.

"How is it? Is this enough?"

"Forehead"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly asked with a curious look on his face: "Uncle Sun, where did you get these rotten tiles from?"

"Hey!"

Old Sun pointed to the alley they had just walked into, then he laughed and explained, "There are a few large tiled houses behind that alley. My family used to be in the fur business, but they were knocked down a few years ago and the houses were demolished as well."

"Among them, all the things that were worth a bit of money were taken away by others. Now there are only some rotten bricks and tiles that no one wants."

"is it?"

When Li Guoqiang heard the words "no one wants it", his eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly said, "Then you stay here and watch the donkey cart. I'll go over and take a look, and pick up some more tiles."

After saying that, without waiting for Lao Sun to say anything, he turned around and ran towards the alley, and soon he arrived in front of three dilapidated large tiled houses.

At a glance, he found that there were only some broken walls and rotten bricks and tiles all over the ground in the big tile-roofed house, and there was not even a rotten piece of wood that could be used for burning.

He didn't care about this at all. While there was no one around, he hurried in and used his small world to collect a piece of rotten tile.

Then, in his expectant mood, Father Jin instantly gave him a hint of an extra tenfold reward, which immediately brought a happy smile to his face.

Then, he hurriedly used his small world to collect the rotten bricks and tiles, kept giving out rewards, and kept taking out the rotten bricks and tiles that had been given out as rewards to avoid arousing suspicion.

Before long, he had painted all three large tiled houses.

Among them, in addition to most of the rotten bricks and tiles, there were 3276 slightly damaged red bricks and 1864 slightly damaged black tiles. Then, through the scavenging rewards, 32760 usable red bricks and 18640 usable black tiles were successfully harvested.

According to the calculation that 128 bricks are needed for every square meter of wall and 138 tiles are needed for every square meter of roof, these red bricks and black tiles are enough for him to build a large tiled house of 120 square meters.

Although he cannot choose to use these bricks and tiles to build houses in the village in order to avoid arousing suspicion, but don't forget that he still has his own little world!
If he could build a large tiled house in his small world, it would be like having a portable residence, and he could live comfortably wherever he went.

He could even build a kitchen in the big tiled house, which would make it much more convenient for him to cook anything delicious in the future.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly figured out how to get some cement and lime, while hurried back to reunite with Lao Sun.

When Old Sun saw that Li Guoqiang only came back with a dozen relatively complete tiles, he didn't say anything. He just handed the whip and reins to Li Guoqiang and motioned him to drive back.

Li Guoqiang did not refuse. He immediately got on the donkey cart, waved the whip, and drove the donkey cart out of the county.

At the same time, Xu Guangfu also took Xu Yuying and Shen Wanpeng to ask around in the village, and helped Shen Wanpeng purchase 20 kilograms of bear meat at the price of 1.8 yuan per kilogram. Then, they walked towards Qu Yinfeng's house, ready to let Xu Yuying and Li Guoqiang meet, and discuss the purchase of bear paws.

However, as soon as they entered the house, they learned from Qu Yinfeng that Li Guoqiang and Xu Guangshou had gone to Wangjiatun early in the morning to help people slaughter the New Year pig.

So they could only turn around in a hurry and go to Xu Guangshou's house, and soon learned that Li Guoqiang had already returned.

Since they couldn't find Li Guoqiang anywhere, they finally had no choice but to go back home first and then go to Qu Yinfeng's home to look for Li Guoqiang in the evening.

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea that someone was waiting for him to return. He was constantly practicing various driving skills along the way.

As his skills and experience increased, his movements became more and more handy. He could even let the donkey know what he meant and respond just by gently shaking the reins.

When Old Sun saw how obedient the donkey was, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous, as if he was being cheated on.

He was even a little worried that Li Guoqiang would take away his job as a cyclist.

So, without waiting for Li Guoqiang to drive the donkey cart to the village entrance, he hurriedly asked Li Guoqiang to hand over the driving rights of the donkey cart, and then used all his skills to drive the donkey cart quickly to Qu Yinfeng's house. Finally, when parking the car, he almost made the donkey cart drift.

When Li Guoqiang saw this, he felt a little happy in his heart, then pretended not to know Lao Sun's little thoughts, and quickly unloaded all the things he bought.

Afterwards, before he could even say hello to Lao Sun or thank him, Lao Sun raised his whip without saying a word and drove away in his donkey cart as if his butt was on fire.

He looked at Lao Sun's back as he left, then looked at his driving skills and found that he was still 37 experience points away from breaking through to L6. He couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

According to the current situation, he knew that Old Sun would never lend him the donkey cart to drive again, and would even ask Sun Jinwang not to lend him the mule cart.

In other words, he has now been successfully blacklisted from the stable.

Therefore, he will not be able to improve his driving skills to L6 in a short period of time.

Fortunately, there was no rush. He quickly moved all the things he had bought into the bathhouse, and planned to put the big iron pot and the big water tank in place while it was still early. Then he would experience them himself to see if there was anything that needed improvement.

At the same time, he put away all the things that he didn't need temporarily, such as thermos, enamel teacups, enamel washbasins, toothbrushes, tooth powder, towels, soap, coal stoves, spatulas, kitchen knives, kang mats, matches, kerosene, etc., in his little world in case of emergency.

Before long, he had placed the big iron pot and the big water tank, then took the tiles and began to lay the drainage ditch.

He laid the intact tiles on the bottom of the channel one by one, and the broken tiles were laid on the channel wall in a mosaic manner. The whole thing looked like the roof of a large tiled house.

In this way, you only need to flush with more water and clean it with a broom regularly without worrying about blockage and backlog.

Soon, he finished laying all the drainage channels, then hurriedly fetched a bucket of water and tried to flush them. He found that the effect was almost the same as he had imagined, which made him very satisfied.

Then he cleaned up the excess tiles, soil and pebbles, and covered the drainage ditch outside the wall with reed stalks to prevent the stench from escaping in the future.

After finishing, he did not rest but immediately went to get a bunch of firewood and started warming the stove and boiling the pot.

At this time, Qu Yinfeng, who heard the noise in the house, hurriedly opened the door and ran out. Then she soon saw the big iron pot and the big water tank. She couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Qiangzi, didn't you go to Wangjiatun with your uncle Guangshou this morning to kill pigs for the New Year? What's the matter with this big pot and big tank?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly told him about how he went to borrow the donkey cart from Lao Sun to go to the county town after he came back from slaughtering the New Year pig.

"So this is ah!"

After listening to this, Qu Yinfeng nodded in realization, and then quickly told him about Xu Guangfu bringing Xu Yuying and Shen Wanpeng to look for Li Guoqiang, and she also joked:

"If it were up to you, I'd better marry your uncle Guangfu's daughter. Then I can help you take care of the child next year."

"Don't!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm still young, and I don't want to think about getting married so early."

"Fine!"

Seeing Li Guoqiang's resolute attitude, Qu Yinfeng could only nod and agree, "Then I won't take care of this matter. You can handle it yourself later!"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded in response, and then didn't take the matter to heart.

Anyway, no matter what, when the time comes, we just need to fight back against the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth.

Soon, the simple stove in the bathhouse was heated up.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly asked Qu Yinfeng to go into the house to get some cooking oil, and then poured the oil into the big iron pot along the edge of the pot, so that every inch of the pot was covered with grease.

Then he increased the fire and burned the big iron pot until it turned red and blue, then removed the firewood and let the big iron pot sit and cool down.

When the big iron pot has cooled down, immediately get some water to clean it, then use low heat to dry the water, and finally apply a layer of grease into the pot.

At this point, the big iron pot is basically ready. Next, you just need to let it sit for a while, clean the grease in the pot, and then you can use it normally.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately turned around to clean the large water tank, and by the way, used a knife to drill a drainage hole at the bottom of the large water tank bit by bit.

This way, every time he finishes taking a bath, he only needs to open the drain hole and he doesn't have to go through the trouble of pouring out the water in the tub.

However, before he could finish drilling the drain hole, Xu Guangfu's voice suddenly came from outside the bathhouse.

"Hadron, hadron!"

"Hey, here we come!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then hurriedly agreed, quickly stood up, opened the door and walked out.
