The 103rd day of the Squirrel Calendar, Monday, the 21st day of the 11th month of the Gregorian calendar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The temperature in the mountains and forests is three to five degrees lower than in the plains, and although the sun is shining today, the actual temperature is still below zero, and the snow in the mountains reflects the sun's rays but does not absorb them, making the temperature even more sluggish.

"Squeak!"

Lu Feng stretched his waist and got out of the villa in the trees, chewing on the roasted rat meat while drawing on the [whiteboard] with his paws.

Little [Lu Lu] is missing, but life has to go on. It was not easy to make a living in the mountains and forests, so Lu Feng could only bury his thoughts about Xiao [Lu Lu] in his heart and start the life of a mouse again.

"Squeak!"

Swallowing the rat meat in his mouth, Lu Feng returned to the tree hole, stuffed his cheek pouch with falling peanuts, and then climbed down the big pine tree, pulled out the non-woven bag he brought back the day before from the bushes on the side, and carried it on his body.

The metal string used to tie the non-woven bag is still very strong, because of the disappearance of the little [Lu Lu], Lu Feng has no time to pay attention to the seasoning and stainless steel bowl contained in it, and he has not had time to pay attention to it until today.

It's time to go to the hot springs!

According to the original plan, Lu Feng will build a stove by the hot spring in the next few days, and at the same time, if conditions permit, Lu Feng will also re-establish a nest by the hot spring, as a place to store goods and temporarily rest.

…………

"Squeak!"

So comfortable!

Placing the non-woven bag under the banana tree, Lu Feng thought while soaking in the hot spring.

Building a stove seems to be a very simple task, but after smoothing out the thoughts, Lu Feng's mouse eyes immediately widened and he felt extremely tricky.

The most primitive stove, the kind built out of three stones in the wild, as long as it can support the pot and there is enough space for the flame to burn underneath.

However, once the requirements are raised, if you want to build an earthen stove commonly used in the countryside, it involves materials, flues, firepower, ash leakage, etc., and the most important of which is the material used to build the earthen stove: bricks.

The wisdom of the Chinese people is extraordinary, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period invented bricks, to the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, and gradually evolved into the strip bricks that are now used, in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the use of strip bricks has been very common, however, it is still mainly used in mausoleums.

Along the way, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, until the Ming Dynasty, buildings began to be built with bricks, and the Ming Dynasty also rebuilt the Great Wall with bricks.

The material of the bricks is mainly clay, and it is the kind of more delicate glued clay, and at the same time, it can not be too sticky, and it needs to be filled with a certain amount of gravel to be better formed.

"Squeak!"

Do you want to burn some bricks?

Excavating his memory, Lu Feng soaked in the hot spring and pondered.

When I was a child, there was a brickyard near the village, and my father was the owner of the brickyard, and when I went to play with him, I also visited the brick-burning process many times.

And mud, buckle mold, demoulding, drying, kiln, sealing kiln, kiln, kiln, brick.

The whole process of burning bricks often takes dozens of days, and the brick kiln for burning bricks is still special, just like in the final scene of [Tunnel War], there are many fire vents around, and firewood is burned in the fire mouth, and the structure of the brick kiln gathers the high temperature of the flame burning, heats the bricks in it, and finally discharges it from the kiln mouth on the top.

The high temperature of the kiln needs to last for several days, before the kiln is opened, the father of the little partner will slaughter a good rooster as usual, put a table on the kiln mouth, first ask the kiln to eat some incense, bless the success of the kiln bricks, do not have too many broken bricks, and then ask the kiln workers to drink and talk together, encourage morale, and then shout the trumpet [open the kiln], dig the cave out of the bricks.

"Squeak!"

What a hassle!

Is there any other way?

Slapping his head with his front paws in anguish, Lu Feng got out of the hot spring, twisted sharply from beginning to end, shook the water off his hair, splashed, and Lu Feng's thoughts flew with it.

As far as his eyes could see, Lu Feng saw the three stones that were originally used to build a simple stove, and a lightning bolt crossed his mind.

"Squeak!"

What a stupidity!

Nature itself has [bricks] well!

The two claws struck, Lu Feng didn't care that his hair was not dry, and immediately ran on the snow in the mountains and forests.

It's here!

Without bricks, wouldn't this rat be replaced with stones?

Rushing streams wash over the banks, washing the dirt away from the rocks and then carrying it downward.

Lu Feng walked along the stream, his eyes constantly scanning the bank, looking for enough stones to satisfy him, and soon, Lu Feng's gaze stopped somewhere on the bank of the creek.

"Squeak!"

It's cold!

Carefully cutting through the snow, Lu Feng shivered and stepped into the stream, scooped up the stones, and washed the moss on them at will, and a flat stone that was twenty centimeters long, five centimeters wide, and about two centimeters was displayed in front of Lu Feng.

Not bad, not bad!

As long as there are four or five more of these, you can build a good stove!

Trembling, Lu Feng carried the flat stone onto the riverbank, and began to patrol again, hoping to make new discoveries!

"Wow~"

The loud sound of water sounded, and a three-finger-wide swimming fish suddenly swept its tail, splashing ice water on Lu Feng, who was groping on the bank of the stream.

"Squeak!"

When the stove is ready, the first one will come to catch you!

With a soft cry of annoyance, Lu Feng scooped up the stones from under the stream, about the same length, width and height, so that Lu Feng waded through the stream with satisfaction and carried them to the place where the stones were piled up.

A! Two pieces! …… Twelve!

Taking stock of his harvest, Lu Feng began to travel back and forth between the hot springs and the stream, transporting the building materials to the ideal location for the stove he had in mind: a little east of the hot springs, behind a large rock.

If it weren't for Lu Feng, who was too small and had a strong body, he could have carried it all at once.

…………

"Squeak! Creak! ”

Hey Autumn! Hey Autumn!

After removing weeds and leveling the ground, Lu Feng fiercely pointed the tip of the flat rock down and inserted it into the ground at the position he had chosen.

Four pieces are inserted on the left side, four pieces are inserted on the right side, and the height of the stones is about the same as that of Lu Feng squatting, and the width is larger than a stainless steel bowl.

But that's just the first step!

The rock only serves as the skeleton of the earthen stove, and the flesh and blood of the earthen stove still need to be deployed by Lu Feng, and the reason why the earthen stove is called the earthen stove is naturally self-evident.

The mud next to the hot spring was soaked with the hot spring water, and it was already completely soaked. Taking out a stainless steel bowl, Lu Feng put the wet soil excavated into the bowl, carried it to the rock, and then took the local materials, cut the snow, and dug out a part of the dry soil to mix with it.

At the same time, Lu Feng also added many tough grass stems to the soil to increase the toughness and adhesion of the soil.
