Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Su Qingyu and Mr. Lu walked around the village and found out how the villagers kept warm in winter. ReadМ

Everyone has heating tools such as fire basins, fire barrels, and fire baskets at home.

When winter comes, the brazier is moved indoors, and the whole family sits in front of the brazier to keep warm.

The brazier is made of yellow soil that has been repeatedly beaten and kneaded. When winter comes, firewood or charcoal is put into the brazier and the heat burned in the brazier is used to keep warm. Some fire basins have rims and some don't. The base is three-legged or four-legged.

Su Qingyao also saw that some villagers would build a wooden shelf outside the brazier for easy transportation and to put things, cups and the like.

Some villagers will make the fire pot taller and larger, making it into a fire barrel style, with partitions on it so that people can sit on it to keep warm.

If you need to walk outside, just carry the fire basket and put the fire pot inside the basket. The basket is made of bamboo or wood and can be carried and slid while walking. It is a proper walking heating tool.

It is similar to the hand stove and soup pot that rich people hold in their arms.

Su Qingnao had never seen these before, and watched them with gusto at the homes of the villagers.

The villagers in the mountains also tried various ways to keep warm.

Lu was very interested and looked at it very carefully. Immediately I thought of the mason and carpenter's house, and planned to make several fire pits and various tools for the family.

Su Qingyu held her back.

When the two returned home, Su Qingyu drew a few pictures and asked her to find a mason and carpenter to make them.

Whether you are burning firewood or charcoal, there is smoke in the brazier. If you put it in the house, it will be smoky. First, it will choke people, and second, it will cause carbon dioxide poisoning.

Xiaobao is still young, so she has to eliminate these potential dangers.

Seeing that Xiaobao did not run out of the house because of frostbite, Su Qingyu felt very uncomfortable when she saw him holding the door frame and looking outside.

The child is very obedient and knows that if he runs outside, his hands will itch and he will feel uncomfortable. If the adults tell him not to run outside, he will stay quietly in the house.

Xiaobao is a lively and active child, and she cannot let him stay indoors all winter.

And in this mountain, the temperature inside and outside the house is almost the same. Children cannot be left in bed all the time.

Su Qingyu then asked the mason to bring a few people over to make the kang bed.

Not only Xiaobao, but no one else in the family has ever lived in the mountains. The winter in this mountain is not only cold, but also humid and humid. Su Qingnao planned to make a kang bed because she was afraid that everyone would not be able to bear it.

The mason from the village arrived with his two and a half young men and several experienced old men from the village.

Everyone was very concerned about Su Qingyao's affairs. As soon as they heard that she had to do some work at home, everyone in the village who could do the masonry work arrived.

Everyone was confused when they heard about making a kang bed.

Never done it.

Then I heard that it was like a fire barrel, with a fire burning underneath and people sleeping on top. I seemed to understand. Just make the fire barrel bigger, and instead of sitting on it to keep warm, you can sleep on it to keep warm.

No, can it be made into a fire barrel that you can sleep on and keep warm?

Everyone was interested.

Zhongzhai leader was so busy that he trotted over and came over.

Su Qingyu explained with a smile: "It's not called a big fire barrel, it's called a kang bed. In the south, we use braziers, fire barrels, and fire baskets for heating. In the north, we build kang beds in the house. In winter, the whole family sits on the kang bed to keep warm."

"There is a flue dug in the middle of the kang bed, with a stove mouth and a smoke outlet. Firewood is burned at the stove mouth. The smoke and heat generated by burning the firewood heat the entire kang, causing the kang to generate heat to achieve the purpose of heating. And the smoke is Expelled from the chimney to the outside.”

After she said this, everyone understood.

This thing is great!

The fire barrel can only seat one person, so if there are many people in the family, many will have to be made. It would be great if this could be made into a fire bed as big as the whole family could sit on it.

You can sleep warm without worrying about the firewood in the brazier burning out. There is no need to worry about the smoke choking people in the house.

This is good!

People gathered around and asked what to do.

Su Qingyu gave the drawings to the mason. The pictures must be clear and distinct. The mason understood it immediately and started work immediately.

Other excited villagers saw that the kang had to be connected to the earthen wall. Their houses are made of wood, and it seems they can't build them, which is very frustrating.

Su Qingyu then said: "The kang does not have to be connected to the wall. A wooden house can also be made." She reassured. He drew another picture and explained it to the villagers.

It is equivalent to making a large fire bed in a wooden house, made of mud instead of wood.

But the flue and chimney must be built. And there is a good thing, the stove door does not have to be built outside the house, it can be built inside the house. If you don’t want to go out to add firewood to the stove in the middle of the night, you can put the stove in the house.

You can also connect a flue to the fire bed and the brazier frame. The brazier frame is also built with mud. Fix it in the house and build the stove mouth away from the bed. A brazier is placed on this mud shelf, and the stove mouth is connected to the brazier and then passes through the flue of the brazier to the kang bed.

This eliminates the need to build the kang bed next to the wall.

Su Qingyu walked around the stockade and found that most of the stockades were made of wooden houses. Some people dug a pit in the house as a stove hole to keep warm in winter.

Put firewood in the stove hole for heating, and hang a pot on it to boil water or stew a pot of food for the whole family to sit around and eat together. Eat while keeping warm.

It looks very convenient.

But, the room was so engulfed in smoke that the surroundings were pitch black.

The furniture and clothes at home were all dusty, with a layer of dust falling on them, making them look dark and dark and not clean.

This is a very good idea and can serve multiple purposes. But the exhaust was not done properly.

Su Qingyu explained it to everyone while drawing pictures, which made everyone feel so excited that they wanted to drag the mason to his home to make some rectifications.

Su Qingnao also drew a fire table based on the villagers' braziers. I plan to put it in the dining room.

This winter, eating in the cafeteria is probably a painful experience.

After the rice is taken out of the pot and placed on the table, it is estimated that within a short time, the oil will have solidified and the dishes will have become cold. It's useless to have a brazier, it's too local.

It's just right to make a fire table.

In the middle is the fire barrel, which is covered with a wooden round table. The entire round table is equivalent to the rim of the fire pot, with a base and a stove mouth underneath for burning firewood. A hole is dug in the middle of the round table and separated by iron bars, where pots and pans can be placed and water can be boiled for cooking.

The heat from the fire barrel in the middle will be transmitted to the table. First, it can keep the food warm, making eating more elegant. It doesn't have to be like fighting. Eat it while it's hot.

Secondly, when sitting around the fire table, your legs can also get the heat from the burning fire barrel to keep them warm. You can eat, drink tea and do needlework at the table. If you want to be warmer, you can add a layer of cloth along the edge of the table and put your legs inside, which will make it warm and comfortable.

Then make a pipe on one side to exhaust smoke. There is no smoke in the room, it is clean and warm, and the whole room can be kept at a relatively high temperature.

This is a perfect artifact.
