Chapter 71 The kang is a magical thing!
After the beams on the house, it has taken shape. At this time, the speed began to speed up. In less than two days, the green tiles have been covered. From the outside, it is already a very good house, leaving only painting walls, paving the floor, installing doors and windows and ceilings. At this time, the ceiling is all made of The windows and ceilings were all made by Li Qing. His workmanship was very exquisite, which made Su Zhi very satisfied. Seeing that the house would be completed soon, she was full of joy.
"Daughter-in-law, our house will be built soon. If you have any ideas, just say it."
Shen Zi'an watched Su Zhi standing in the middle of the yard and looking at the house with a smile. He was also in a good mood. Although he was very tired these days, he was very tired and happy. This was his and his daughter-in-law's home. Just a few months ago, he didn't know that he could be so happy It's like a dream.
Su Zhi looked at Shen Zi'an's tired and thinner face and felt a little distressed. He said, "It's already very good. When the house is built, I'll make more delicious food for you and make you fat. Look how thin you are."
"Sister-in-law, I'm also thin. You make delicious food for Zi'an, but you can't leave me behind. Don't worry, I won't disturb you. I'll take you home to eat."
Li Shi said with a smile. He stood in the yard and looked at the young couple. Suddenly, he was a little envious. He was not envious of this big house, but Shen Zi'an's daughter-in-law. He thought that it was time to marry him. At that time, he must open his eyes and find a gentle and vir Daughter-in-law, a delicate figure suddenly appeared in his mind. In a sway, he shook his head and let the figure float away from his mind.
Su Zhi smiled and said that she must treat Li Shi to her new dish.
"Zi'an, the adobe has been pulled. Are we going to start to build that pit?
Shen Shugen strode over. Two days ago, Shen Zi'an told him to build something called a kang in the house, saying it was a bed. It was used for sleeping. He also said that he could warm up for a long time by burning firewood that winter. He was very curious to hear that he had never heard of setting a bed with earth and burning a fire. However, he looked at Shen Zi'an's daughter-in-law differently. This woman could draw drawings of such a house and furniture, and it doesn What a novelty. He just needs to watch from the side. If this kang really works as well as said, it would be a great thing!
Li Qing was putting the window aside, and he also came over at this time.
"Are you going to start the kang? I'll take a look, too. It would be great if I could really burn firewood to warm up!"
"I'll build a kang today. This is the drawing.
Su Zhi took out the drawings that had been prepared for a long time, showed them to a few people, told them how to build here and how to build there, and told them why it was like this. The picture she drew was very detailed, thanks to the fact that she lived in the countryside and saw a neighbor who liked to live in a kang. She was very curious to see it, so she watched it carefully next to her, and then she knew the internal structure.
"Just build a stove here and set the fire for a while. The heat of the fire will go into the kang, and the kang will be hot. Burning such a fire can warm up for a long time. When cooking and boiling water, you can burn the kang by the way. But don't burn too much. The kang mat will be burned in the hottest time. And this stove can't burn in summer. No one wants to sleep on a hot bed in summer.
"Sister and sister! You are so kind of kang!"
Zhang Qing listened to Su Zhi and looked at the drawing again. It's like holding a baby. He knows the benefits of this kang too well.
"Yes, this is really a good thing, and it doesn't cost much money. It only takes a little time to build up."
Shen Shugen also nodded and said.
"Sister-in-law, can you let everyone in the village get on the kang? If so, everyone will be warm this winter."
Li Shi thought for a moment and said to Su Zhi that he wanted to go further. After getting along with each other these days, he knew that Su Zhi was a kind person. She must be willing to promote this kang, but it was really useful to think of this kang. This is also a craft. Craftsmanship can be sold for money these years. How It is already lucky that Su Zhi agreed to learn to base this kang. If you want to give this to others, you have to go through Su Zhi's consent.
Shen Shugen and Li Qing also looked at Su Zhi. They thought that they had the benefits of this kang in winter, and they also hoped that such a good thing could be used by everyone.
Su Zhi also understood what the kang meant to the people in winter in ancient times, which meant that she could no longer be frozen. In fact, she had long wanted to promote the kang. In the cold winter, her family sat on the warm kang and watched other people freeze. She really couldn't do it. She doesn't plan to make this money, so she might as well make a good reputation.
"Of course, so that the villagers don't have to be frozen in winter. What does a drawing cost? But I don't know how to base. At that time, someone will be willing to learn, but I don't have the ability to teach.
"Daughter-in-law, you are so kind!"
Shen Zi'an took Su Zhi's hand happily. He felt that he had really married a good daughter-in-law, who was smart, gentle and kind-hearted.
Li Shi patted Shen Zi'an on the back and laughed, "Such a good daughter-in-law has fallen into your hands. Treat your brother-in-law well, or the eldest brother will beat you!"
Li Qing smiled and said, "Yes! Sister-in-law, if Zi'an dares to bully you, you can find your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and we will make the decision for you!"
Shen Shugen said, "At that time, the whole village will not forgive you!" How can such a good daughter-in-law bully her? She should hold it well!"
As soon as Shen Zi'an heard that this was his eldest brother, he turned to his daughter-in-law, but he was happy in his heart, because the big guys had taken Su Zhi. What made him more happy than his daughter-in-law being accepted by the big man and not being despised as a broom star?
Those who worked listened to this and laughed and looked at it curiously. Someone came to ask what was wrong. Li Qing said about the kang with a smile. Everyone who heard it opened their eyes in surprise and thought there was such a good thing? I immediately looked forward to this kang, and even the look in Su Zhi's eyes changed, which was much more polite.
In just a while, everyone here knew about the kang. Although they were all working, they were all talking about it. Who doesn't want to have a warm place to stay in winter!
Zhang Qing and others began to build the stove kang happily, all of which were full of energy. Su Zhi was commanding on the side and felt that there was something wrong. Several big men immediately followed what she said. So they understood the beauty of it and took a higher look at Su Zhi. Even if Su Zhi said that she learned it from others, they still think that Su Zhi can understand by drawing a picture by others, which is a hundred times better than them.
Li Zheng didn't know who sent the letter and came. At this time, Su Zhi's kang was almost finished. He looked at this thing and wondered if it could really be warm? He heard Su Zhi say that she helped a passer-by when she was a nun, and the man taught her. He nodded and thought that Zi'an's daughter-in-law was a blessed person. She said that she was a broom star, which really didn't make sense. It seemed that the old Taoist priest was really nonsense at the beginning!
"Zi'an daughter-in-law, do you really want the villagers to use this kang? Don't want money?"
"Yes, Li Zheng. However, this kang also needs to be built by people, so I think if someone wants to build a kang and hire someone to build it, it will be given money. As for how much money, I think it is all villagers, and it won't be too much. Please talk to these big brothers who have learned to build a kang first.
Su Zhi is also looking for the opportunity to make money for these first people to learn to build a kang. It takes time to give people to build a kang. You can't let them want money. And these people, if she doesn't open her mouth, she is really afraid that these people will not take other people's money. These people can be
Li Zheng nodded and thought Su Zhi was right.
The kang and the stove were ready. Su Zhi let the water boil, and the fire began to burn. Everyone next to him paid attention to the kang inside. In less than two quarters, they saw that the dirt surface of the kang began to smoke. Almost the whole kang was smoking, and everyone cheered. Li Qing touched the kang from one end to the other and said happily that it was hot. Another person stood outside the window, stretched out his hand and touched it inside, saying that it was hot, and the open fire had passed the heat!
Su Zhi said, "When this kang is burned dry, put a mat on it, preferably made of reeds, and it will be completely dry in two days. When cooking, you can warm up for a long time. If you burn a fire before going to bed, you can warm up until dawn.
Li was touching the kang and felt that it was really amazing. His eyes lit up and he asked Su Zhi if he could let him report the matter to the county magistrate.
Su Zhi thought for a moment and felt that the matter of the holy beast would definitely be known by the county official in the future. It is impossible for her to hide from the quiet. It's better to let nature take its course. In this era of imperial power, being a small farmer may be oppressed at any time. If she can have a little relationship with the government There is no danger for her to go to war.
Li Zheng saw that Su Zhi agreed and was very happy. There was such a thing in his village that was good for the people and a good country. He also had credit for it!
Su Zhi built several kangs in total, and there were many houses. She thought that he and Shen Zi'an could not be the only two people in the family in the future. Their life would get better and better. At that time, she still wanted to invite people back. Even if she was a peasant woman, she would be a leisurely peasant woman, a
A few days later, Su Zhi's house was built, and the courtyard wall had to wait for a few more days, but Su Zhi began to get busy. She had to decorate all the rooms before the courtyard wall was built!
