Bathing at home in the winter is very difficult.
However, smart working people still have some good ideas.
Hang a thin plastic sheet from the roof like a mosquito net.
But unlike those big square mosquito nets, this thing is cylindrical.
When taking a shower, put a large basin of hot water in it and put this thing down.
The hot air cannot escape and is all collected in the plastic film. This way, it won't be so cold when you wash it.
If he had to describe what this thing looked like... then Lu Yuan could only say that it was a bit like a super large avoid... um... Durex.
Especially when there is a lot of water vapor inside, and the plastic film bulges, it looks more like it.
Lu Yuan had seen this kind of thing on Earth, or had used it when he was very young.
After waiting for the heat from the basin inside to hold up the suit, Lu Yuan locked the door and closed the curtains, then he and Su Liyan took off their clothes and went in to take a shower.
But...it's still damn cold.
In Lu Yuan's eyes, this crude method was really useless.
Lu Yuan was wondering...is there any floor heating in his big house with three entrances and three exits? ?
should not……
There seems to be no such thing as a Nuan Pavilion in this world.
In ancient times on earth, the emperor who lived in the Forbidden City had a thermal pavilion.
The principle is the same as burning a kang.
Lu Yuan has never been to the imperial palace in this world, but the human emperor here should use spiritual cores to release heat for heating.
After all, this world is still a little different from the earth.
While Su Liyan was rubbing Lu Yuan's back, Lu Yuan was thinking that he would get a floor heater for his home in the next few days.
Otherwise, this winter will be so damn miserable, and the stove won't do its job at all.
What's more, this winter, stoves usually heat hot water.
Once the stove boils water, all the heat energy will be absorbed by the kettle of cold water.
The house is not hot at all.
When it comes to heating the floor... it's actually quite simple.
Tomorrow Lu Yuan will go out to look for it and bring a cart of red bricks.
Then get some cement, and then find some migrant workers who have come to the city to dig a 20 centimeter downward heating channel in your house.
Lu Yuan planned to make the most basic version of the underground kang fire tunnel.
If you go fast, it can be done in about a day.
Speaking of which, does your "Craftsmanship" include this kind of method for making a fire pit?
Of course, whether it is in "Ingenuity" or not, Lu Yuan can figure it out.
With this underground kang fire tunnel, Lu Yuan can have sex at home every day. The only drawback of this thing is that it consumes coal.
Because it has to be burned all day long, it can't be like a pot burner, just use wood or something.
This underground kang fire road must use coal.
Otherwise, if we use wood, we will sleep until midnight. If the wood for the fire pit is gone, will we have to get up in the freezing cold to rekindle the fire?
So you have to use coal.
But just burn coal, and it’s not like Lu Yuan can’t afford it!
While Lu Yuan was thinking, a shy voice came from behind:
"Brother, it's ready...Brother...Brother, please rub my back too..."
Lu Yuan turned around and saw his wife looking at him with a shy face.
Speaking of which, Su Liyan's skin was really like mutton fat. When she hugged her while sleeping, it was as smooth as jelly.
Moreover, Su Liyan's skin was not only that white, but also that kind of white and rosy pink.
It looks particularly white and tender.
But now it might be the water vapor here, or it might be because Su Liyan is shy, Su Liyan's face is even crimson.
At this time, Su Liyan also turned her back to Lu Yuan and handed the hand towel to Lu Yuan.
After Lu Yuan took the hand towel, he smiled and said:
"Just rub your back?
I’m working hard, and I’ll help you in other places too~”
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Su Liyan made an extremely shy cry~
…
After taking a shower, Lu Yuan sat in the main hall, smoking a cigarette and lowering his head to draw a design.
No matter what, we will still have to live in this courtyard for three to five winters.
Lu Yuan thought, if you want to change it, then make a big change.
After all, this is also my ancestral home!
Not only do we have a heating channel, but we also have two warm walls. We have two warm walls in both rooms. This is very comfortable.
But in this case, the workload is a bit heavy, and it will take two days to finish it in one day.
It doesn't matter, I'll go to the big house to sleep tomorrow.
I'll be back the day after tomorrow.
Lu Yuan was drawing a design, while Su Liyan was sitting aside, waiting for her hair to dry before going to bed.
While waiting for her hair to dry, Su Liyan sat next to her and came over curiously:
"Brother, is this the rice thresher?"
When she went out this afternoon, Su Liyan naturally heard the rice thresher that Lu Yuan was talking about.
However, when Su Liyan looked at the drawings drawn by her man, they didn't seem to be that kind of machine...
Lu Yuan turned to look at his daughter-in-law, who looked even more beautiful and delicate after taking a bath. He couldn't help but move forward and give her a few mouthfuls, making Su Liyan smile shyly and say:
"Brother~~what is it~"
After Lu Yuan laughed twice, he continued to lower his head and draw:
"If I don't tell you now, you will know the day after tomorrow~"
After hastily drawing the picture, Lu Yuan took a soft ruler and began to measure the length of his home. He would buy bricks, cement, etc. tomorrow, but don't buy too much.
Su Liyan had no idea what her man was doing, but Su Liyan knew that her man must be doing something particularly powerful~
After taking the measurements, Lu Yuan packed up, looked at Su Liyan, tilted his head slightly, and then said with a bad smile:
"Daughter-in-law, is it time to go to bed?"
Su Liyan was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head slightly and said shyly:
"Brother, my hair isn't dry yet~"
Looking at his wife's appearance, Lu Yuan really loved her to death.
Lu Yuan liked this about his wife, no matter how crazy and proactive she was in bed last night.
But when I got out of bed the next day, I was just like my little daughter-in-law again. This shy little look was really tempting.
The next second, Lu Yuan picked up Su Liyan and walked towards the bed with Su Liyan's tender cry.
"It's okay, we won't be sleeping for a while, we have to exercise for a while~"
Along with Su Liyan's infinitely shy squeak, Lu Yuan turned off the light.
…
The next day, it’s half past nine in the morning.
Lu Yuan opened his eyes, but there was nothing in his arms. His wife had already gone to work, leaving only a lingering fragrance.
Lu Yuan lay on the bed and thought about his wife's emotional peak last night.
He smacked his lips.
I really made a lot of money!
After getting up, he went to the pot as usual and took out the rice that his wife had warmed, and casually dealt with two mouthfuls.
Then Lu Yuan rode out to buy materials.
First buy red bricks, cement, and putty.
After buying these things, I had people push the cart directly to Lu Yuan's home.
These things are really expensive, totaling seventy or eighty yuan.
However, labor is still quite cheap.
Now there is nothing else here in the Imperial City except that there are many migrant workers.
Lu Yuan rode his horse to the outside of the east city gate and saw a group of people squatting under the city wall. They were either chatting or playing cards and chess.
After Lu Yuan arrived here, he shouted directly:
"Bricklayers, carpenters, please use your strength, do you have any!!"
As soon as Lu Yuan shouted, the group put down the chess and cards in their hands and rushed towards Lu Yuan. They quickly waved to Lu Yuan and shouted:
"Boss, boss, my bricklayer can do it for seventy cents a day."
"Me, me, boss, I make sixty cents a day, and I just take care of lunch!!"
In the end, Lu Yuan rode a horse in front and led a group of people from behind toward Dongming Community.
It caused the people passing by to look sideways, thinking that someone was going to build a big house.
In fact, Lu Yuan's entire warm tunnel and warm wall don't need so many people.
but……
Seeing a group of people standing in the cold wind, Lu Yuan couldn't bear it.
These people didn't know whose man or father they were.
They are all from the countryside. There is no farm work this winter. If they have some skills, they come to the city to work as part-time workers.
I heard that some of these people sleep in bridge caves with their bedding at night.
In this winter, Lu Yuan was freezing at home with the stove burning, and he didn't know how these people were surviving outside.
Lu Yuan really paid a lot of money to these people.
A bricklayer works one piece a day.
Carpentry costs eighty cents a day.
This powerful one will be able to dig out the heating in the house and smash the walls for fifty cents a day.
These prices are all higher than the market price.
Moreover, Lu Yuan also takes care of the food.
“My boss, did you really give us so much??”
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing a thick and patched winter coat, put his hands in each other's sleeves, walked quickly to the horse and asked in disbelief.
Lu Yuan turned his head and glanced at this person, then raised his eyebrows and said:
"Hey, boss, don't I look like a rich man? I will give you money first when you get there."
Listening to these words, these people shouted happily.
Everyone knows that this boss is a good person.
Everyone also quickly promised that they would do a good job for Lu Yuan when they went there.
Just treat it like your own home, nothing will go wrong.
After Lu Yuan and others returned to the courtyard, he took a look at the Gao family.
The door is closed.
She, Mrs. Gao Xu, also knows how embarrassing it is that she didn't go out either yesterday or today.
I guess it will take at least a few days before I can go out.
When Lu Yuan led a group of migrant workers home, many people gathered in the backyard.
The residents of this courtyard were a little confused when they saw the red bricks, cement, etc. that Lu Yuan had people push back.
There had been a group of people pushing carts clankingly to unload things into the backyard since just now, and no one knew what Lu Yuan was going to do.
Building a new stove?
Then you don’t need so many things, right?
"Lu Yuan, what are you doing??"
When the aunt in the courtyard saw Lu Yuan back, she immediately came over and asked curiously.
These things are not cheap. Just now, a few aunts asked the delivery guys.
These things add up to seventy or eighty yuan.
Lu Yuan dismounted and paid the dozen workers while saying:
“Renovate and decorate your home.”
There are floor heating, fire pits, wall heating, etc. It’s too troublesome to explain.
Lu Yuan has time to explain to these people.
Quickly hand out the money and let these people start working first. I have to go out and buy some cornbread and vegetable soup for these people.
These bricklayers need to have lunch, right?
Many aunts were a little confused after hearing Lu Yuan's words.
Decorating your home?
Um……
After everyone thought about it, they all secretly spat.
This Lu Yuan really has some money, so he doesn’t know what to do with it! !
I'm also decorating my home.
I really don’t know how to live!
Everyone in this courtyard knows that Lu Yuan earned more than 200 yuan from hosting a banquet last time.
Everyone felt that they had been plotted by Lu Yuan.
Everyone is really jealous of this money.
But there is no reason for Lu Yuan to be separated from everyone.
After all, Director Xu came for Lu Yuan, and those workers also came for Lu Yuan.
Even if everyone feels uncomfortable with this money, there is nothing they can do.
I can only secretly say that Lu Yuan is a wicked ghost.
Although no one suffered a loss this time, Lu Yuan's profit of more than 200 yuan was more uncomfortable than everyone's loss of more than 200 yuan! !
Lu Yuan handed out the money, and after these migrant workers carefully put the money into the pockets of their pants, Lu Yuan led the group into the house.
Then he said at the center line of the house:
"You dig a trench 20 centimeters down and 30 centimeters wide from the end, extending from one end to the other."
"understand?"
Everyone knows about digging trenches, but what everyone doesn’t understand is why it is necessary to dig a trench inside such a beautiful house?
But everyone did what the boss said, and everyone nodded immediately.
But if we follow what the owner said, some things will have to be moved out, such as the big bed.
There are also things like sewing machines that need to be covered with cloth. Don’t let such expensive and large items get thrown away.
Immediately, these migrant workers began to move things carefully.
This owner is generous and nice, and everyone works carefully, for fear of being damaged by Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan led two more powerful people to the other side of the house, where the chickens were raised, and said:
"You dig a big hole from here down to a depth of sixty centimeters. You have to leave the four sides white for twenty minutes because I want to build something similar to a stove on both sides. Do you understand?"
Lu Yuan planned to open the entrance of the underground kang fire road outside.
In this case, just fill the coal outside and dig out the ashes.
If this thing is in the house, coal will be poured into the house in winter, and the most important thing is to dig out the ash. This will make the house unclean.
As for the exit of the underground fire tunnel, Lu Yuan wanted to extend to the kitchen stove.
When the time comes, cigarettes and other things will go out along the kitchen stove.
Lu Yuan has finished the design.
There are still some steps to follow, such as heating the wall and so on. After finishing the first stage, Lu Yuan was talking.
After being ordered to go down, Lu Yuan rode off to buy cornbread for these people.
I have already given enough wages, so I naturally let these people make do with the food.
After all, it was a good thing for these migrant workers in the cold winter to be able to eat corn noodles and steamed buns in the city. Lu Yuan was not a philanthropist.
Is it possible that we should give these people a clean slate?
Not really.
While these migrant workers were working in full swing, the aunts in the courtyard were sitting together in the distance, cracking melon seeds and chatting.
These melon seeds were grabbed by everyone last time Lu Yuan held a banquet.
The aunts looked at the banging noises in Lu Yuan's room and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:
“This bad guy doesn’t have his own money, so it’s really unreasonable to spend it.
Just such a way to spend money. I think by the time of the Chinese New Year, this wicked thing will definitely have no money again. It depends on what he eats then! ! "
"That's right, if you don't have enough protection, you'll have to go home and eat from my father-in-law's family again!"
"Why did Su Liyan get the better of such a person who doesn't know how to live?"
…
At the same time, the armory factory held a commendation meeting.
"Hereby, the Forging Bureau will award 200 yuan, and the Agriculture Bureau will award 100 yuan, for a total bonus of 300 yuan. Su Liyan, the lover of coworker Lu Yuan, will come to the stage to receive the award on his behalf."
"Everyone applaud!"
Immediately there was lively applause from the audience.
Pang Kaige and Gao Tingyu were numb.
Isn't it... Did Lu Yuan receive a fucking award again? ? ! !
