Now that there is a simple method, they don't have to bother, but the bed has already been put in, so of course it has to be installed.
Chou Chou immediately transformed into an adult size, and the two of them set up the bed frame with a few clicks, and also hung the bed tent they bought before on the bed frame.
This is very simple, just sew a few straps on it and tie it to the bed frame. As for the top, a piece of cloth is also fixed on it, so it looks neater.
Qingyan really likes this kind of canopy bed with a bed cover. It is relatively quiet inside, and it feels more secure if the space is small when sleeping.
Afterwards, Chou Chou brought in the cabinets, tables, chairs and benches, and Qingyan directed Chou Chou to place them directly where they should be placed.
The bed is placed on the right corner, against the walls on both sides. The cabinet is placed against the left wall, parallel to the bed, with the gap in the middle just enough to open the cabinet door.
Originally, Qingyan wanted to ask the other party to make a sliding door, but then she thought about it and realized that there is no pulley in this world, so it would be a bit difficult to just rely on wood to rub it.
If you use metal, you have to go to a blacksmith shop to customize it, which is too troublesome. It is better to make a more traditional one, which is faster to make and looks better.
Because the bed and cabinets are all made of natural wood and not painted, they look quite harmonious in the wooden house.
Then put the table, chairs and bench in front of the window, where there is good lighting during the day, so you can eat or drink tea here.
In fact, if the house wasn't made of wood, she would have wanted to have a fire pit in it.
Sleeping on a kang is much more comfortable than a bed, especially when the weather is cold. It is so warm and comfortable.
However, fire prevention in wooden houses is more troublesome. After all, unlike adobe and stone houses, at least they are not prone to fire.
So now we can only use the charcoal stove first. Even the fact that the charcoal stove does not have a chimney is also a problem.
Without a chimney, carbon monoxide poisoning is easy to occur, so the stove should not be closed too tightly when lighting it.
But if it is not sealed tightly, it will be difficult for the temperature inside the house to rise, so this is also a problem. The only way is to leave some gaps for ventilation, and then burn more charcoal fires.
After knowing her troubles, Chou Chou said directly: "My iron skills are pretty good at the moment, why not go to the blacksmith shop to build a chimney? It's just an iron cylinder. It shouldn't be difficult."
Qingyan nodded. Regardless of whether it works or not, you can ask first. Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter.
She did whatever she thought of and went out before it was too late.
When she arrived at the blacksmith shop, Qingyan told the blacksmith inside what she needed.
Unexpectedly, the other party said as soon as he heard it: "We have this kind of iron tube here, but it is not as long as the girl said. We can customize the size for you, but the price is higher.
When Qingyan heard this, she happily asked him to make a chimney four feet high with an elbow.
In fact, some wealthy families here make copper chimneys. That one is more plastic because it is more flexible, but the price is much higher, and it requires official documents before it can be cast.
After all, copper is used to make coins, and this material cannot be used in large quantities privately.
There are a lot of bronzes in the space, but they are all cultural relics. They cannot be melted down and refined into chimneys. It would be too wasteful.
Since the blacksmith said he could do it, that was the best thing. He agreed on the size and paid a deposit of three taels of silver and left.
This chimney costs five taels of silver. The most expensive part is the elbow part, which is difficult to fix.
Although it can also be made straight and the chimney is extended directly from the roof, but if it is extended straight to the roof, I am afraid that when it snows and rains, water will flow in.
Of course, you can also put a small hat on it, but if there is wind, it will be of no use and it will still be troublesome.
She spent a huge sum of five taels of silver to customize a chimney, which made the blacksmith think she was a waste of money.
These five taels of silver can buy one-fifth of the house. Fortunately, she is not short of money, and this thing is necessary for safety.
It definitely couldn't be done that day, so they stayed in Yunling County for another three days.
During this period, two groups of soldiers and horses passed from the county seat, both coming from the south and going to the northwest. They should be the defenders seconded from the capital to the border.
Chou Chou also used his spiritual sense to explore that side. The farthest border that his spiritual sense can cover now, and Tianshui City, there are traces of mobilizing troops and horses on both sides. There should be enemy troops on both sides. The movement, preparations for war, seems to be really imminent.
Qingyan also asked Chou Chou about the situation in Tubo and Xixia, but Chou Chou's spiritual sense could not detect that far.
I can only see some small groups of troops running around near the border. Some come and go, and some harass the soldiers here from time to time. They should be here to inquire about military intelligence.
Qingyan did not ask Chou Chou to help deal with the spies and harassing teams. After all, this was a matter in this world, and they had better keep it as little involved as possible.
Who knows if the news that those people came back to investigate was deliberately let there know. If Chou Chou directly killed the people, it might ruin their affairs.
They don't understand marching and fighting, so it's best not to get involved, so as not to miss some military plane.
While waiting, she went to buy some more things. After she finished them, she tried the chimney and just attached it directly to the charcoal stove she bought before.
The charcoal basin was not good. The opening on the charcoal basin was too big and the chimney could not be sealed. The charcoal stove was just right. The size she customized was based on this.
It was a simple chimney of later generations. The lower part connected to the furnace mouth was shaped like a trumpet. The lower part was thicker and the upper part was thinner. There was also a handle on the top for easy removal.
There is an air vent under the charcoal stove, so there is no fear that the charcoal fire will be extinguished without air. It is just a little troublesome to put the charcoal inside. You have to move the chimney to put it in.
The craftsmanship in making the chimney is quite good, and the size is very standard according to the size she said, and it fits just right.
For the protruding part above, she made a hole slightly larger than the chimney in the wooden wall, extended the chimney, and then sealed the surrounding area with clay.
The chimney should not be in direct contact with the wooden wall, for fear that the temperature of the iron sheet would be too high and ignite the wall, so it would be better if there is a layer of clay between them.
It looked like that. Qingyan and Chou Chou slept over a charcoal fire inside for a night, and there was no sign of carbon monoxide poisoning at all. Very good, there should be no problem.
However, when you take the wooden house out from the space, you must pay attention to the placement direction. The chimney cannot be facing the wind outlet, otherwise it will not work if the wind is poured into it.
She knew, however, that if the chimney was facing the wind and the air was flowing in, it would be easy to get gas.
This common sense is promoted by the street office in the courtyard where her grandparents live every winter.
Chou Chou said to Qing Yan: "Actually, this is not far from a coal mine. We can dig some coal for use."
Qingyan thought for a while but shook her head and said: "There is no need to make a special trip. If you pass by later, it's not too late to get some. The charcoal and pine cones now are enough.
Besides, we don’t have the iron stoves with high-temperature-resistant furnaces of later generations. This kind of charcoal stove may not be able to withstand the high temperature of the coal and will burn out easily. "
Although coal is burned at a higher temperature and takes longer, carbon monoxide poisoning seems to be more serious.
The two big wooden houses Chou Chou have been put into the space, and the three days waiting for the chimneys are just enough for them to decorate the insides.
She and Chou Chou had a separate room, which they tidied up according to their own preferences, mainly for storing things.
Later, Chou Chou bought a cabinet to store food and other things he likes.
Qingyan added a dressing table. There was really no room for it in the cabin, otherwise she would have bought an extra one.
I also specially bought a relatively large bronze mirror to put on it. The carvings on the back of this bronze mirror are very beautiful and very complicated. There are bats, lotus flowers, and wishful thinking patterns. Qingyan is not sure what the specific name is. She didn't ask the boss, it should have a very auspicious name.
The front is polished very brightly and illuminates people very clearly. Although it is still a little different from the bronze mirror of Xue Mansion, it is still very good.
After all, Xue Mansion is a wealthy family, so there must be some differences between the ones bought in ordinary stores. The ones they buy are probably custom-made and have more fine workmanship.
After all this was done, I started to prepare to leave. I first cleaned and tidied up the carriage. After all, it had not been used for a while, and there was a layer of sand and soil scraped on it.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained or snowed in the past few days, otherwise it would have had to be scrubbed clean.
It is worth mentioning that the day after they finished building the wooden house, Chou Chou sent Yin Jin's body back for burial in his tomb.
The evil spirit in him had been absorbed by Chou Chou, so he was sent back directly.
As soon as Yin Kejing's soul appeared in the ugly space, he disappeared.
Chou Chou said that the soul went to the underworld and could be reincarnated only after its sins were washed away.
Qingyan curiously asked Chou Chou: "Is there really an underworld in this world? Is it really like the legend says there are eighteen layers of hell? Are there ten halls of hell?"
Chou Chou nodded and shook his head, "There must be an underworld. I don't know about the eighteen levels of hell because I have never been there. I only know that souls return to the underworld. Otherwise, how can those souls be reincarnated?
As for the Ten Palaces of Yama, I don't know much about it. I haven't seen it. I only know that the underworld was created after Empress Houtu transformed into six realms of reincarnation. As for who the current manager is, I don't know much about it.
Many characters were created in people's imagination later, and may not really exist. Some of them existed, but after entering the Age of Ending Dharma, everyone retreated from the world.
Just like Sun Wukong and Jiang Ziya, there is no such thing. I asked Yin Jin, and some demons and ghosts did appear in the Shang and Zhou wars at that time. Most of them were driven by others or made contracts with immortal cultivators.
Many of the names of the characters in "The List of Conferred Gods" are made up, like Su Daji, but there is this person, who is just a concubine of King Zhou, not a vixen at all.
The fall of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was not because of her, nor was it because of King Zhou's immorality. The main reason was the change of power and King Zhou's interference with the interests of others. In the end, it became the general trend.
Human beings are all like this, they all agree with arguments that are beneficial to them, and there was indeed enough spiritual energy at that time, and many amazing and talented immortals appeared. However, wars are always driven by the desire for power, and will not be truly motivated. Everyone fights for their own benefit, and gods are no exception. "
Qingyan nodded, and the topic was successfully diverted by Chou Chou.
But it doesn't stop her from feeling justified. People really fight for themselves. In order to satisfy their own desires, whether it's money, beauties, or the ambition to dominate the world, it's not all for themselves.
Why do you get angry for a beauty? It's not because you are lustful and have face, so you can really build a dynasty. No one is willing to risk his life for a woman, he just needs an excuse to take action.
If he really had that kind of love brain, let alone any achievements, he would probably be killed long ago.
After they packed up the carriage and put away everything in the house, Chou Chou said that the little leopard had the money to absorb and refine the blood essence and wake up.
Qingyan quickly asked Chouchou to release it, but when it came out, Qingyan almost died laughing.
No way, this image is really funny.
Although the golden leopard before was still a little one, it was still a smaller version of the golden leopard. You can still see the graceful lines and mighty appearance of the later one.
But now the whole thing has become nondescript. The body has become round and round, not to mention two circles larger than before. The previous money pattern has become twisted, like pieces and strips... How should I say? It's just...it's gold and brown camouflage!
That's right, it's that camouflage look, it's just that.
Then the face looks like a leopard and a bit like a tiger, the ears and nose are like a tiger, the eyes and mouth are like a leopard, there are two tufts of hair on the ears, and the funniest thing is that there is a pair of small fleshy wings on the back!
Yes, they are fleshy wings, the kind without hair. Qingyan rubbed her belly while holding back her smile, and said with a twitching corner of her mouth: "You are rich, you are too abstract, aren't you?" How did you do it? No, Chou Chou, can its image...can it be changed?"
Chou Chou also felt blind, and had no idea what this guy was thinking when he changed his form.
When monsters and beasts change forms, they rely on themselves or their imagination, just like when some monsters change into human form, if they don't imagine it, they just see someone and follow their appearance.
This little leopard may be too small and hasn't seen much of the world yet, so it may have seen less of it. It may have been transformed into something like Qiongqi, but the transformation was not complete, so it looked a bit different.
Qiongqi is a tiger with wings, horns on its head, and some scales on its body. It has a very majestic image, but here it looks completely ugly and cute.
Qingyan covered her head, "I could let him stay outside before, but even if someone saw me, they would just think that I was awesome for raising a little leopard.
Now he can't be outside at all like this. He looks like a little monster. "
