The takeout business was on track, and there was no longer a man in yellow at the door of the restaurant. Gu Xiaoyou felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

She considered whether to paint the shed at the door yellow. If it didn't affect the appearance of the street, Gu Xiaoyou almost did it.

The business of several restaurants has stabilized, and Gu Xiaoyou doesn't need to worry about the takeout business.

She is planning to open another restaurant.

According to the plan, she planned to open a restaurant serving roast chicken and duck.

However, the methods she found all required the use of an oven. Although Gu Xiaoyou had the recipe in hand and could bake it on a firewood stand, what she wanted was roasted chicken and duck with the effect of an oven.

So making an oven in ancient times became the first step to complete the challenge.

Fortunately, the wisdom of the Internet is powerful. Gu Xiaoyou quickly found entries on the oven remodeled from iron barrels, ovens made by Niuren pans, etc. on his mobile phone.

The methods are very clever, but they are not very practical for meals that may need to be cooked in batches, such as roast chicken and roast duck.

Gu Xiaoyou searched and searched on Baidu, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Farmhouse-made soil oven, this one is good!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his slender index finger to click on the video on the web page.

I saw a woman preparing bricks, tiles and clay and building an earth stove oven in a corner of a rural courtyard.

The video has detailed steps, but the construction process is demonstrated in a fast-forward style, so Gu Xiaoyou is not sure how long it takes to build an oven.

Gu Xiaoyou checked several more videos of homemade clay ovens, found one with the best shape and the ability to bake the most things, and drew out the steps and sketches.

She looked at the sketch for a few times and touched her chin: "Who should I find to do it?"

She couldn't figure it out. How about asking Manager Zhang if he could find someone who could build a house?

Gu Xiaoyou was thinking about who to build the oven in her mind, and suddenly slapped her thigh: "Oh, why did I forget about Sister Zhou? She was the one who built the small stove for me to make paper."

With a suitable candidate in mind, Gu Xiaoyou picked up the sketch and ran out of the room, jogging all the way from the second floor of the medical center to the paper shop.

As soon as Gu Xiaoyou entered the door, he couldn't wait to call: "Sister Zhou, Sister Zhou, where are you?"

"Hey, I'm here." Mrs. Zhou waved to Gu Xiaoyou from the counter.

Gu Xiaoyou trotted over, took Mrs. Zhou's hand and walked out the door: "Great, Sister Zhou, come with me."

Before Zhou could react, Gu Xiaoyou pulled her out of the hospital and all the way to the empty shop next to Youlian Snack Shop.

As soon as he entered the shop, Gu Xiaoyou took Ms. Zhou to the backyard, pointed to the open space in the backyard and said, "How about Sister Zhou build some ovens for me here?"

"What box?" Zhou asked confused.

"It's an oven." Gu Xiaoyou corrected and unfolded the sketch to show Zhou: "This is an oven."

Zhou leaned over to look at the sketch, and saw a rectangular base drawn on the paper, with half a circle drawn on the rectangle, a square opening on the circle, and a chimney on the dome.

After looking at it several times, Mrs. Zhou became even more confused and asked hesitantly: "Is this a house?"

"It's not a house." Gu Xiaoyou couldn't explain clearly and was a little anxious. Suddenly he remembered that he could show Zhou his cell phone. He quickly took out his cell phone and found the browsing history: "I'll know after I show you the video."

After a few pokes on her phone, Gu Xiaoyou played the video of making an oven directly to Mr. Zhou.

Ms. Zhou watched the video carefully: "It turns out it looks like this. It's not difficult. It's just a matter of adding a roof to the stove."

"Really, please help me build a few ovens in the yard." Gu Xiaoyou looked at Mr. Zhou with bright eyes and begged.

"But we have to prepare some materials. I'll try to build one first." Zhou said as she glanced at the empty backyard.

"Okay, I'll help you." Gu Xiaoyou rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to have a big fight: "What should we do first?"

"Get some clay and bricks first," Zhou said.

"Okay, I'll get it right now."

Gu Xiaoyou said and ran out the door. Zhou quickly followed: "I'll come with you."

In this way, the two sisters took a carriage to the materials market to buy bricks and clay, and transported them to the backyard with the help of the coachman.

The two of them watched what the broadcaster did in the video and chose a place to set up the oven in the backyard.

It took some time to set up the first oven, and Zhou quickly set up the stove, but the oven part took some work.

Gu Xiaoyou placed a brick on the base and looked at the half-curved shape in the sketch with some worry: "It seems that bamboo sticks are used as the skeleton to create the curved shape."

"Then I'll go get some." Mrs. Zhou glanced at the video, walked out of the backyard, and quickly retrieved several long bamboo sticks.

"Sister Zhou, where did you get the bamboo sticks?" Gu Xiaoyou asked curiously.

While bending the bamboo skewers, Zhou replied: "I got them from a fried shop. They don't make skewers for small skewers."

"You are so smart." Gu Xiaoyou gave a thumbs up, took the bamboo stick and bent it into a suitable arc, then used clay as a base to insert the bamboo stick.

The two people quickly made the bottom beam of the bamboo stick together, and then added bricks and clay on top according to the video. Although the process was a bit laborious, fortunately, the semicircular box of the oven was punched out.

Immediately after Zhou built the chimney, Gu Xiaoyou helped her, delivering bricks and soil. The two of them struggled for more than an hour and finally built the first oven.

"Oh, I'm so tired." Gu Xiaoyou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with emotion: "The video only lasts six minutes, and we took a ride for nearly two hours."

Mrs. Zhou wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said confidently: "The first ride was a bit slow, but I will be able to do it once I get through it. The next one will definitely be faster."

"Yes, I believe you." Gu Xiaoyou nodded and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Zhou: "You have a rest first, and I will try to see if the oven works."

"Okay, then I'll watch the video again." Zhou took a sip of tea and started watching the video on her phone.

Gu Xiaoyou lit the stove and preheated the oven.

She hadn't prepared the ingredients for roast chicken and duck yet, so Gu Xiaoyou took a few eggplants from the kitchen and walked back to the backyard with the seasonings.

She washed the eggplant, used toilet paper to absorb the moisture, and applied a layer of oil on the surface. Then she put the eggplant on an iron plate, put it in the oven, opened the oven's sliding door, and turned on the stove.

While waiting for the eggplant to be roasted, Gu Xiaoyou prepared the sauce. First, chop the millet pepper, mince the onion and garlic, put it into a bowl, add oil, soy sauce, an appropriate amount of salt, five spice powder, pepper and sugar.

Stir into the sauce with chopsticks.
