Chapter 78: The Master is Amazing
"If only there was an electric mixer..."
"Regardless of how many chestnuts and sand, just pour them all in, plug it in, and it's all done..."
Bai Lu leaned against a big tree and didn't want to move.
If she hadn't practiced military boxing for some time, improving her physical fitness a bit, she would have been too tired to even lift her arms after roasting over two hundred catties of chestnuts in the morning.
Even though she was tired now, she could still use her arms normally, just feeling a bit sore. She needed a break before going back to work.
"I really want an electric chestnut roasting machine..."
Bai Lu made wishes to the old hen, to the chestnut tree, and to the blue sky.
A hurried set of footsteps approached.
"Big sister-in-law, big brother wants to dismantle the electric fan!"
Being here for quite some time, it was the first time Bai Lu was called big sister-in-law. She was stunned for a good second and a half.
Seeing Xiao Wei, who was panting and urgently looked like he was in a hurry, she immediately got up and followed him to the yard.
"Your brother wants to dismantle the electric fan?"
Xiao Wei nodded vigorously as they walked, "The only electric fan in the utility room has been dismantled by big brother. I don't know what he's up to."
Xiao Wei also had an electric fan, but it broke just after last summer. He didn't dare to ask Xiao Cheng for help in fixing it.
He planned to save money to buy a new one, and if he couldn't save enough money, he would just use a palm-leaf fan; after all, summer wasn't that long.
Of course... Xiao Wei also fantasized that when Xiao Cheng bought a new electric fan, he would give him the old one.
Who would have thought that Xiao Cheng not only didn't buy a new electric fan but also dismantled the old one.
Now, the whole family had no electric fan.
Bai Lu felt puzzled. Besides electric lights, there was no other electrical appliance in the house. Xiao Cheng had no reason to dismantle the electric fan that was only used in the summer just to save on electricity bills.
Maybe it was broken, and he was fixing it?
However...
As soon as they reached the front yard, Bai Lu's guesses were denied by the unprecedented scene before her eyes.
On the cement floor of the front yard, in addition to the dismantled old fan, there were three large green fan blades, a front cover made of wire mesh, a rear cover made of wire mesh, various scattered base components, and several unfamiliar tools.
Among the familiar ones were only tin and a steel pipe about one and a half arm lengths long. Wait, on closer inspection...
It was a wide, thick steel pipe, not the one he had noticed before.
Next to the large steel pipe were three crescent-shaped iron pieces, thicker and longer than crescent wrenches.
One of the long iron pieces was already welded to the steel pipe by a man who was squatting down, holding an old-fashioned welding machine in his right hand and a welding mask in his left.
There were three melted notches in the upper-middle position of the steel pipe, just enough to fit one end of the iron piece.
During welding, the man stabilized the position with his elbow, and after completing the welding, the steel pipe and the iron piece became inseparable.
At this moment, the man had already picked up the second long iron piece, placed it in the notch, and was about to weld it.
As if hearing the footsteps behind him, he stopped and turned around, taking off the protective mask.
His deep gaze fixed on Bai Lu, who was approaching, "Don't come over."
Xiao Wei, who was following behind, subconsciously stopped.
Bai Lu also stopped and explained, "I can help you stabilize that iron piece."
Even though she didn't know what he was doing, it seemed that he might be creating something new.
Xiao Cheng looked at the eager face of the girl and gave a reason for refusal, "Welding light can hurt the eyes."
"Isn't it like the bright light of fireworks?" Bai Lu, who had never been exposed to this field, asked in confusion.
However, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Wei looked at her strangely, as if the term "fireworks" was something extraordinarily unusual.
But soon, they withdrew their gaze, not letting her notice.
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Cheng explained, "The brightness of welding light is much stronger than fireworks, and the thick smoke is also toxic. Looking at it can hurt the eyes, causing pain and frequent tearing."
Xiao Wei swore that this was the most he had ever heard his big brother explain at once since childhood. No exceptions.
Without saying a word, he turned and didn't look back.
Bai Lu was also shocked by the unprecedented detailed explanation from the master.
"Go back and wait."
The big and small figures took two steps forward.
"Go back to the corridor."
The big and small figures obediently complied, walking to the corridor without moving, contemplating the scene on the wall.
From behind, a light laugh from the man.
Bai Lu: "..."
Xiao Wei: "..."
The sound of the collision between the iron piece and the steel pipe came from behind, followed by the sound of "sizzling."
Bai Lu suddenly remembered that a high school classmate, whose father was an electric welder, had told her that welding light was harmful to the eyes. Out of ten electric welders, nine suffered from photokeratitis.
Because the bright arc light produced during welding exceeds the level of ultraviolet radiation that the human eye can withstand, it can easily cause damage to the cornea, resulting in redness, pain, tearing, sensitivity to light, and serious damage to the cornea.
However, Xiao Cheng was wearing a protective mask, so he should be fine...
Bai Lu couldn't help but let her thoughts run wild. Before she knew it, the sizzling sound from behind had stopped.
Did he finish so quickly?
Bai Lu and Xiao Wei exchanged glances.
Bai Lu: Do you want to go first?
Xiao Wei: You go first.
Bai Lu: You go first.
Xiao Wei: "..."
Clearly, she was the most favored person in the family. Why should he go first? If he went first, he would definitely face the cold knife of rejection.
Absolutely not.
Definitely not.
Resolutely not.
After staring at Xiao Wei for three seconds, who had turned back to face the wall, Bai Lu, who had received no response, decided not to trouble this little flower of the country anymore.
She turned back by herself.
The yard was empty!
The tools that were originally on the ground were gone!
When Bai Lu heard the sound coming from the kitchen, she ran over. In the extended version of the stove at the end of the kitchen, the large iron pot was already filled with sand, rolling around inside.
Inserted into the wall was a square small socket, with a plug inserted, and the wire passed from the safe area next to the stove.
Xiao Cheng was holding a scoop and pouring chestnuts into the pot, stopping outside the stove, observing the rotational effect.
Bai Lu ran over excitedly, stood beside him, and watched, unable to contain her excitement, "Is this the thing you just made?"
Xiao Cheng nodded, picked up a grain of sand and a chestnut from the pot, confirming whether the heating was even.
After confirming that there was no problem, he continued to add sugar syrup.
Bai Lu was so pleasantly surprised and excited that her words gushed out, "Is the iron pipe with the welded iron piece the thing rotating in the pot?"
Xiao Cheng looked at her sparkling eyes and nodded lightly, "Added a motor."
"Where did you get the motor from?"
