Pei Yao drew a sketch and knew it in her heart, and according to the idea in her heart, she was going to build a chimney first, then a kang, and finally a pot stove. (If you don't believe in it, you can think about it in reverse order)

She first pointed her hammer at the left side of the translucent hole, which is about 20 centimeters in the direction of the opening, and gently knocked out a square hole that was not particularly flat, so as to leave a passage for the chimney.

Next is the most painful job for Pei Yao, moving stones and transporting cement.

Let's pick up the stones first, it has just rained in the past two days, and the stones are clean and there is no dirt.

And the yellow mud is easy to dig, just at the foot of the gentle slope opposite the waterhole, it is the kind of yellow mud used to make bamboo leaves and yellow mud wrapped chicken when you first came to another world, mainly because of the poor transportation, all by artificial back!

Carry the rattan basket on your back to the stream to pick up stones first, if it is not enough, then go to the ditch, mainly the ditch is farther away, how to save effort and how to come.

By the way, it is also a waterway to clear the stream, so don't let the heavy rain flow out of the stream and flow into the courtyard to flood the vegetable field.

Pei Yao started to pick up stones from the downstream of the stream, that is, next to the courtyard, and when she saw the square ones that could be used to pad the stone slabs on the kang, she picked them out separately and put them in a specially prepared basket on the side, and those that were not in good shape and could not be used for special use were put into the back basket to build the kang.

Every time she fills most of the basket, she goes back once, and piles it up next to the rock wall in the cave, she has to pick up a bunch of them first, not enough to pick them up again, anyway, she can't pick up more, this is exhausting!

I ran eight or nine times in the morning, and her shoulders were red, but fortunately, she didn't work idlely after coming to another world, and she also practiced carrying a lot of things.

I took a break at noon, went to the bamboo shed and cut the thatch on the wood with a firewood knife, and cut the thatch a section of long straw, which was used to stick to the yellow mud, so that the soil and stone were firmly adhered to.

The cut pile of straw is first thrown under the shed and ignored, and then a large leaf mat is placed in the rattan basket to fill the yellow mud, and the leaves are placed at the bottom because it is easy to pour out the yellow mud, and it is easier to clean the basket.

Take a hoe and a shovel, and walk to the pit where the yellow mud was dug before, the small pit was washed out by the rain and the small water bubbles have not yet dried, the yellow mud is viscous and it is not easy to seep water, and such an earthen kang is not easy to smoke.

Pei Yao used a hoe to shave around to clean up the surrounding weeds, and cut away a layer of gravel and rotten soil on top, revealing the orange-yellow mud below.

The yellow mud is not as soft as the black mud in the forest, but with a hoe and an iron shovel in turn, it doesn't take long to dig out a pile of condensed yellow mud, pile it aside, and pick up stones or tree roots in the yellow mud during the process.

Looking back, I saved a lot of yellow mud, enough to transport it a few times by myself, so I stopped digging it.

Put a shovel into the back basket and pour it directly into the open space in the middle of the cave.

A few baskets of yellow mud were poured into the hole, Pei Yao dug a pit in the middle with an iron shovel, went to the waterhole with a wooden basin and poured a few basins of water into it, and then gradually mixed the yellow mud on the top and outside of the mud pit, as long as the water did not flow out, continue to fill it, and so on.

When the yellow mud and muddy water were even, she carried the new basket to the outside bamboo shed to load straw, and poured it into some thin mud to reconcile evenly.

Pei Yao stirred the yellow mud with an iron shovel, which was slightly thick, and felt quite decent, similar to the neighbor uncle who helped her family to pass the kang in her impression. Now that the preparations are made, it's time to start panning.

In the morning, when cooking the fire, two or three firewoods were slowly burned, and now to use the light of the fire, a few more firewood and grass were added to make the fire rise.

In the light of the fire, holding a piece of charcoal, Pei Yao found a bamboo to compare, and drew two black lines on the mountain wall, so that the chimney was not easy to be crooked.

Holding a simple trowel made of a wooden board, plastering two square pieces of yellow mud in the position where the line was drawn, and then putting a stone on it quickly, try to connect the seams of the stone, and also pay attention to the stone can not go in and out of the outside, a little bit is not afraid, because in the end it is still to be pasted with a layer of yellow mud on the outside.

After a layer of stone is paved, a layer of yellow mud is poured and hung flat, and a needle is inserted on the foundation of the next layer of stones.

Sometimes a stone can be turned over several times to get it right, and sometimes it really doesn't work, so you can put it in another place, or just change a stone.

Fortunately, the area is not large, and two square stone pillars were quickly built against the wall, and there is a distance between the two stone pillars, which is reserved for the flue.

At a position slightly lower than the height of the budget ondol, a stone slab was placed on the outside of the two stone pillars, and together with this stone slab and the stone pillars on both sides, it was built in a cylindrical shape and continued to be heightened, about the height of the waist.

Then, taking tools charcoal and bamboo poles, he drew a rectangle two meters long and one meter nine wide on the ground swept in the hole, following the procedure of the chimney.

On the side against the wall, begin to wipe the bottom wall of the kang supporting the kang slate, this section of the wall is easier to make, not high and against the wall, and it does not need to be neat and good-looking, that is, it is to make it wider and not poured, until it is connected to the chimney.

A kang bottom wall was finished, the chimney was still wet, Pei Yao disliked the chimney drying slowly, so she moved the fire next to it, and lit a small fire at the mouth of the flue left under the chimney, and dried the chimney.
