Chapter 39 Restoration of the bricks

Early the next morning, Pei Yao got up early, and the first thing she did was to see the results of yesterday.

Because she moved the fire to the wall before going to bed last night, and this morning she saw that the inside was dry, and there was still some moisture on the outside, but it was much stronger than when it was first built, and the chimney was directly roasted by the fire, and it was already dry and could continue to be heightened.

I had a hot breakfast, ate two pieces of black flour cakes and two pieces of rabbit meat, and then picked a few pieces of good meat and cakes, put them in a bowl and was hungry as a snack, and the rest of the meat was given to Duoduo, and I didn't cook dog food for it at noon.

She is only half of the job, and she is more anxious. If she hadn't been really tired yesterday and couldn't see at night, she would have worked overtime.

Picking up a trowel, he lifted the big leaves covered with the yellow mud and stirred it with a trowel, and felt that the humidity had not changed, so he began to build the dry chimney first, and it didn't take long to build it to the neck-high position, and he could no longer see it when he stood on the ground.

If you can't continue to build it, you can use a clay basket (a kind of rattan round shallow-bottomed basket) to spread the leaves and put it into the sticky yellow mud, and use a clay basket to load a basket of stones, and then drag out the bamboo frame used to make a bamboo shed and put it next to the chimney.

The bamboo frame is one person high, Pei Yao has to lift the two baskets up and put them first, and then people climb up, which is really a big reduction in efficiency, but fortunately, the area that needs to be built is not large.

Because it is built on the base of the chimney, that is, these positions under the chimney must be thick, otherwise it is a layer of stones wrapped in yellow mud, and people sitting on the kang will collapse if they are not careful.

Pei Yao climbed up and down five times, that is, using five baskets of stones and yellow mud, before building the chimney high enough to stop at a height of half a meter from the hole in the rock wall.

The rest of the distance is easy to build, because the top is high, and it is usually not touched, so it is okay to build a single layer.

I almost got the chimney, and I saw that there was not much yellow mud, so I went back with a few more baskets, because today I am going to build a day, and it is not enjoyable to do less!

This piece by piece is like a stacked block, and it can be regarded as its own bad taste in this boring ancient time!

Yesterday, a retaining wall was built with a half-intercepted mouth of the smoke hole, which is as high as the other Kang bottom walls.

Set aside one side for building the kang board, that is, the upper half of the retaining wall that continues to be built today should be thinner, and this side of the wall is a thick 'L' shape when viewed from the side.

She didn't leave a hole in the retaining wall to make a fire wall, because it was too difficult, and she would never be able to make such a difficult product with a ticket-like wall, so she had no choice but to give up and build a solid retaining wall.

The second Kang bottom wall was raised layer by layer, and it was gradually completed. After eating some meat and cakes warmed by the fire, I continued the final edge sealing work, which was also the last kang bottom wall. The black line drawn along the ground, the bottom wall of the kang is outside the chimney, and the chimney wall is gradually raised upward, and the smoke inlet of the chimney must not be blocked.

Looking at the surrounding kang bottom wall, I am very satisfied! My speed is quite fast, it is only noon, and the rabbit meat and cakes have not been eaten for long, and they have not been digested yet.

Pei Yao thought for a while, the middle of the wall she built was too empty, and the stone slabs were not so big, so she had to build a few stacks in the middle, which could pass through the flue and block the stone slabs.

I found the square stones that I had picked out when I picked up the stones before, and built a few stone piers in the middle of the kang wall, which were as high as the bottom wall of the kang.

Pei Yao was anxious, and she couldn't wait to let the yellow mud dry slowly, what should she do? Ignite the fire and bake dry!

Finally, I could rest, walked outside the cave and picked a cucumber, poured a little sauce at the bottom of the bowl, dipped it in the sauce, and ate the tender and juicy cucumber, the fresh cucumber smell wafted around.

After eating one piece, she didn't eat enough, Pei Yao went to the radish field, and when she saw the green radish growing on the ground with the radish head exposed, she drooled for a while.

Picked two radishes that were too close to each other to affect the growth, pulled one of them, the radish was not too big, unscrewed off the radish tassels with his hands, and snorted off the radish head with his teeth, and then peeled the skin with his fingernails in a circle, his fingers did not need to touch the radish flesh, and he could tear off the radish skin from beginning to end with a piece of skin, and it rolled up like an enlarged telephone line.

Looking at the tender glowing radish in her hand, her saliva was about to stay, and she took a bite of it, tender! Crisp! Sweet! Mouthful!

When she left her hometown to work, she also missed the fresh vegetables at home, and the vegetables she bought at the market were all medicated or not fresh, how could there be such fresh and pollution-free good vegetables!

The sauce didn't have time to dip, so he gobbled up all the radishes as long as a hand.

Sitting on the rocks by the waterhole, looking at the green turnip field, I remembered that when I was a child, she was about seven or eight years old, she was the head of the village children, and she would run around the fields with a group of children younger than her.

Dig out the bird's nest on the ridge bank of the field, pick up the green onion leaves of other people's houses to eat, the most missed is a group of children secretly go to the field that adults can't see to steal radish, the tender radish has not grown up, the little friends have one, compare each other with whose sweeter one, was found by the adults is to laugh and scold two sentences, don't Huo Huo Cai, grow up and pull it out...

Crooked on the stone of the buttocks, Pei Yao, who was a little ethereal, thought: I still lack a rattan recliner.
