The reason why Yun Chao had to wait a day before recruiting people was to allow the villagers to prepare in advance.
Otherwise, everyone will be so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, and the true level cannot be seen.
"What, you still need to compare your strength? If you are weak, why don't you do it?"
"What, you still want to run, don't you want to run too slowly?"
"What else can you do if you're stupid?"
"..."
Yun Chao put forward many conditions. In the final analysis, the most important thing is to be in good health. Let’s take advantage of the last day to replenish the children’s health!
After sending away the villagers who asked about the situation, Yun Chao began to direct the four boys to work.
The broken vats we found last time were not enough, so we went to the village to find a few more.
There seemed to be not enough sand, so I went to Wolong ditch to dig some more.
Yun Chao's principle is to work hard and try not to let the four boys be idle, so as to prevent them from always thinking about their encounter with the robbers yesterday.
Country boys have little education but strong practical ability. It is difficult for them to create, but it is easy for them to do familiar things.
Yun Chao also has a task of his own. He is planning to renovate the kitchen stove.
Ever since he traveled through time, Yun Chao felt that the stove at home was not easy to use and was a very primitive old-fashioned stove.
The structure of this kind of stove is unreasonable, the firewood burns incompletely, the heat preservation is poor, and the heat energy loss is relatively large...
The biggest disadvantage is that the stove door is large, the stove is also large, and there is no grate.
When Yun Chao was a graduate student at the Agricultural University, he went to the mountains with his tutor to help the poor for a period of time. He saw people in the mountains using firewood stoves, which he said were firewood-saving stoves that the government had vigorously promoted.
Young people are very curious. Yun Chao even studied it carefully and roughly knew what the principle was.
Compared with the old stoves, the new firewood-saving stoves have smaller stove doors and stove chambers, added stove grates, and have clever ventilation systems to allow the firewood in the stove chambers to burn more fully.
In particular, the creative addition of an insulation layer and a fire gathering ring greatly extends the time for smoke to circulate in the stove and reduces heat loss.
The newly added grate is even more ingenious. Firewood ash can fall into the ash storage room below in time, maintaining good ventilation.
Yun Chao also changed the original one stove into two stoves, with the front pot for cooking and the back pot for hot water.
In this way, the residual heat in the stove can be used to keep the hot water in the back pot from getting cold. Especially in winter, when washing your face and feet, you can use it directly without having to boil water separately.
Yun Chao is also planning to raise the height of the chimney to make the air circulating in the kitchen more unobstructed.
For the physical and mental health of himself and Lin Youniang, Yun Chao decided not only to remodel the stove, but also to install a fire pit in the house where he slept.
In the Wu Dynasty, which was extremely short of heating facilities, winter was very difficult.
After traveling through time, Yun Chao discovered that no one in Wolong Village used fire pits, and all they used were low-quality wooden beds. This was probably related to the fact that there were mountains to the north of the village. No matter how poor the villagers were, they still had no shortage of wood.
The average life span of ancient people was very short. The main reason was that the living environment was harsh. Winters were so cold that one would catch a cold. Once it developed into pneumonia, in this era without antibiotics, the mortality rate was not generally high.
After a few boys found the broken vat and dug out the sand, Yun Chao took them to Jia Mancang's house and brought back some large mud bricks.
These adobe bricks were used by Jia Mancang's father to build a house after spring, and were requisitioned by Yun Chao.
Of course, Yunchao wouldn't use it in vain. He didn't give the money and simply gave some food.
We are all our own people, and we must not let others suffer when dealing with him, Yun Chao.
The character is established bit by bit, there is no need to stumble over small things.
"Come on, come on, let's eat first. Once we're full, we can get to work!"
When it comes to eating, everyone's eyes light up.
So bright, so bright!
It is said that there is meat to eat at noon, and it is not the pigs in the water, but the real hind leg meat!
At the Lion House, Shitou and the others saw with their own eyes the twice-cooked pork made by Yun Chao, and smelled the smell of the twice-cooked pork. The color and the strange aroma are still in their minds to this day.
It's a pity that such a large plate of twice-cooked pork was all eaten by the fat shopkeeper of Shizilou. Not even the chefs of Shizilou ate it, let alone Shitou and other Yunchao's little followers.
A few boys were full of yearning for their lunch meal. It would be great if Yun Chao had mercy and could cook the same kind of meat as Shizilou!
To everyone's disappointment, when Yun Chao brought a bowl of vegetables, everyone saw the bean sprouts and finely chopped pork inside.
"Come on, stir-fried bean sprouts with shredded pork, let everyone try it!"
Although a little disappointed, the boys were not slow at all in picking up the vegetables. Yun Chao just turned around and picked up a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and half of the stir-fried bean sprouts with shredded pork were gone!
After they took their first bite of fried bean sprouts with shredded pork, they couldn't stop.
They had long forgotten about the twice-cooked pork from Shizilou. They hadn’t tasted it yet, so how could they enjoy it as much as the pot of shredded pork stir-fried with bean sprouts in front of them?
These boys had never eaten such high-end dishes as stir-fried shredded pork, and they almost swallowed it with their tongues.
Real local pork, catalyzed by high-temperature oil, produces a special reaction and forms a special aroma. For people who have never eaten fried meat, it is absolutely attractive!
The boys were eating like crazy and sweating profusely. If Yun Chao hadn't left the dishes for Aunt Wang and Lin Youniang in advance, the women would have had no choice but to drink from the northwest wind.
Seeing the few boys eating happily, Yun Chao couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's good if they can eat. Being able to eat means they have come out of the great terror between life and death.
It seems that there is no psychological disorder that cannot be cured by one meal of meat. If it cannot be cured, then two meals!
After finishing the meal, they rested for a while. Without Yun Chao's words, the boys took the initiative and said, "Brother Chao, didn't you say you want to eat a plate after dinner? Come on, where are you going to eat?"
Yun Chao couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not Pankang, it's Pankang!"
People in Wolong Village have never seen anything like a fire bed. Yun Chao described it for a long time, but the boys were still confused.
"Forget it, don't worry about what's going on, just listen to my command."
Before setting up the kang, Yun Chao had to change the stove first.
Hearing that Yun Chao was going to dismantle the stove, several close neighbors, including Aunt Wang, came over and said, "Brother Chao, the stove can't be moved. The Stove Lord will be angry!"
"Yes, yes, if you really want to move, go find a Feng Shui master, otherwise you will be in trouble!"
"Brother Chao, my maternal uncle's sixth uncle's third cousin next door was burned alive because he dismantled the stove!"
Yun Chao: "..."
