Arriving at the door of Yun Chao's house, Yun Chao asked Magistrate Sun to get out of the car.
As soon as they got off the carriage, Magistrate Sun frowned, seriously suspecting that Yun Chao was deliberately making him look bad.
Can anyone live in this shabby house?
Yun Er actually used such a dirty place to entertain himself, he clearly didn't take himself seriously!
After entering the house, Magistrate Sun's face became even more ugly. The house was not only dilapidated on the outside, but even more dilapidated on the inside.
Broken tables, broken chairs, and all the furniture are broken. Do you want to wait for the house to collapse and kill me?
And the tea that Yunchao asked people to serve, what kind of rubbish?
Yishui's tea leaves are not even drunk by dogs, but Yun Er uses them to entertain himself. Is this because he is scolding himself for being worse than a dog?
The only thing that satisfied Magistrate Sun was the temperature in the room.
The house is quite warm, and there is no draft from all sides as expected...
Well, no!
Suddenly, Magistrate Sun was shocked. This guy Yun Er has no good intentions!
It's so warm in the house, so a lot of charcoal fire must have been burned, and the house is sealed so tightly, you're trying to poison me with charcoal gas!
Although the ancients did not know what carbon monoxide was, they still knew it through common sense. Experience told them that burning charcoal in a sealed room could easily lead to danger.
Therefore, many ancient people believed that charcoal fire was poisonous.
Magistrate Sun is ready to leave.
If you can't find enough food, you may be unlucky in the future; if you are poisoned by charcoal, you will be unlucky now.
Between the two, Magistrate Sun certainly knew how to choose.
This kid Yun Er has no good intentions. He wants to kill himself and take possession of his daughter!
We can't stay in Wolong Village any longer, so evacuate immediately!
Just as he was about to walk away, Magistrate Sun suddenly froze again.
Feel like something is wrong?
If Yun Er wanted to poison him to death, why was he still sitting there without making an excuse to leave?
Also, it's so warm in the house. Where's the charcoal pot? Why don't you see the charcoal pot for the fire?
Magistrate Sun was confused and secretly observed Yun Chao to see what he was doing.
Seeing Magistrate Sun's face turn blue and purple, Yun Chao felt funny in his heart. The old guy couldn't sit still. It seemed that the food gap was quite big.
Magistrate Sun waited for a long time, but when Yun Chao didn't find an excuse to leave, he felt even more unsure.
What's wrong with this kid Yun Er? Do you want to die with me?
oh!
Magistrate Sun slapped his thigh and understood, the problem must be the tea!
After County Magistrate Sun observed with the observation power of a scholar-official and analyzed it with the brains of a dignified official in the county, he finally found the answer.
Yun Er has been drinking tea, but he thinks the tea is not good and doesn't drink it. This is the difference between the two.
No need to ask, this tea can definitely detoxify charcoal!
Then, a strange scene happened for Yun Chao.
No matter how he gave in just now, Magistrate Sun ignored the tea in front of him and refused to touch it.
Suddenly, Magistrate Sun's attitude changed.
It was like an old gangster who had been imprisoned for many years and suddenly saw a naked girl. He was more anxious than a monkey. He picked up the tea cup and poured it into his mouth!
He drank up the tea in one go, and Magistrate Sun refilled it with his own hands without Yun Chao having to say anything.
Then, he drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking several cups in a row, Magistrate Sun slowed down his tea drinking.
Yun Chao's eyelids twitched when he saw this, and he seriously suspected that Magistrate Sun might have gotten into trouble on the way here. He didn't look like a dignified imperial scholar, nor was he even remotely polite.
Magistrate Sun was still worried and asked tentatively: "Yun Er, your house is really warm, you must have burned a lot of charcoal, right?"
"Yes, as long as the person is at home, the fever usually lasts for twelve hours. The fever can be less at night when sleeping, as long as the temperature is maintained."
Magistrate Sun was stunned. The tea he drank was so powerful. Even if he kept burning charcoal all day long, he would not be poisoned by charcoal?
Great, if there is such a wonderful tea, I must take some when I leave, and burn a few more charcoal pots in the house when I get back. This damn weather is freezing me to death!
"By the way Yun Er, where is the charcoal pot you burned? Why is there no brazier?"
Yun Chao shook his head: "The fire was not lit in the house, but in the kitchen next door."
"ah?"
Magistrate Sun was stunned.
Lighting a fire in the kitchen next door can actually make the house here so hot. How much charcoal does it take to burn?
No wonder Yun Er is not afraid of being poisoned by charcoal. It turns out that it is not the tea that can detoxify, but the open flame is not in the house at all!
so close!
Magistrate Sun wiped his hands with cold sweat. Fortunately, he asked one more question. If there was a misunderstanding, he would burn charcoal as hard as he could and drink tea to detoxify in the house after going back. It would be the end of the world!
Suddenly, Magistrate Sun's eyes lit up, with an expression of sudden realization: "Oh, Yun Er, I know, what you burned was the Earth Fire Dragon, right?"
The ancients were not stupid, and they had long invented many ways to keep warm in winter.
For example, when a house is built, a flue is left under the ground.
One end of the flue is connected to the firepit, and the other end is connected to the chimney from which the smoke comes out.
When you burn a fire in the fire pit, the hot air will run along the flue to the chimney, and the temperature will rise in the place it passes, similar to the floor heating used for heating in the north in later generations.
However, this heating method is too expensive, and in ancient times when productivity was backward and materials were scarce, ordinary people simply could not afford it.
Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary landlords, wealthy people, and even ordinary officials cannot afford it.
Magistrate Sun was from a wealthy family, but he had never used anything like a fire dragon. In winter, he would at most burn a charcoal pot in the house, and he burned it very carefully, for fear of being poisoned by charcoal and dying.
Some people may ask, since the ancients even invented the fire dragon, why not make a fire kang?
This involves class differences.
In ancient times, those who slept on Tukang were basically poor people.
Those wealthy families thought that Tukang was too low-grade and simply ignored it.
Rich people didn't sleep on earthen Kangs, so naturally they wouldn't have invented Fired Kangs.
Poor people have little information. Many people have never left their homes in their entire lives and have no idea that there is such a thing as a fire dragon.
Even if they knew, no one would do it.
He is so poor that he can hardly afford firewood for cooking, so he still burns firewood?
Even if you can burn firewood, you can't build a house with a flue.
Therefore, even if someone accidentally invented the hot kang in a certain place, it could not be popularized and over time, it would gradually be lost in the local area.
Yun Chao didn't hide it. Seeing that Magistrate Sun was interested in the fire kang, he took him to see it in person.
Magistrate Sun was surprised. In the past, he only knew that there were earthly fire dragons and fire walls, but he did not expect that there was a fire bed.
Surprised, Magistrate Sun couldn't help but murmur, didn't he say that Yun Er was a native of Wolong Village?
A man with mud legs, how did he know that there is such a thing as a fire bed?
Could it be that this kid Yun Er invented it himself?
Impossible, is there such a smart guy with mud legs?
