While waiting for the yellow mud on the kang wall to dry, Pei Yao took a break and went to select the stone slabs that had been cleaned up at the entrance of the cave.

The slate is thin and thick, large and small, and so on, so she can only pick the big one and put it on the side of the smoke, commonly known as the kang head.

Not only because the kang head often sits on people, so it should be thick and strong, but also because this side is close to the fire source, the first position when burning the kang is hot here, if it is not thick, the kang head will be hot at that time, and the kang will still be cold.

Because the slate is not all square, there are more irregular shapes, Pei Yao knocked off the extra pointed ones with a hammer, and there was an extra bag on the thickness, after sorting, these slate slabs are more neat.

Of course, it can't compare to professional stone processing, you can only see it.

After dealing with most of the stone slabs, it is almost enough to pave the kang, after all, the kang is not as big as four square meters.

Pei Yao went to carry the yellow mud again, this yellow mud is to be spread into the flue on the ground under the kang, from the position of the kang head to the kang slightly thickened and stepped on, is to let the smoke pass through the flue smoothly along the slope, because the flue area is reduced, it will also increase the heating speed of the kang, and the firewood will not be wasted.

After preparing for the follow-up work and the items needed, Pei Yao went into the cave to see that the fire was extinguished, and the kang wall was solidified a lot, so she first got the yellow mud layer on the ground under the kang, and used an iron shovel to sprinkle the yellow mud that was not mixed with water and flattened it, and the rest was to rely on your feet, after all, the place is too small, you have to be careful when you turn around, and you can't use tools if you have tools.

After finishing the ground, she carried a large stone slab from outside the cave entrance into the cave, and lowered it with the flat side of the stone slab against the kang wall.

Not bad! Can the circle be put on the side, Pei Yao was satisfied, and pressed it with her hand, and there was a corner that was a little uneven, so she went to the stone pile at the door to find a basket of stone chips and came back, and selected a pad to put it in, which was stable.

With successful cases, the rest is much easier.

The joints of the stone slabs are aligned as much as possible, similar to tangrams, Pei Yao has a lot of fun, but it is a bit heavy.

The last stone slab is paved, the prototype of this kang comes out, looking at the kang surface of various stone slabs, and the smoke and fire on the top of the cave, Pei Yao said that he has to wait, for the time being, he can no longer burn firewood to dry the yellow mud, there has been no cessation of fire in this hole, and there are many fires lit in the hole, from the outside look at the mouth of the cave is smoking, like the inside is on fire, and it has not yet dispersed, if it is burned again, the cave will become a 'fairyland', and the smoke is full of it.

When the kang wall was dry, she dared to climb onto the stone slab that had just been placed and do the final finishing work to smear the yellow mud kang noodles.

It was only half-dry, and she was afraid to climb the stone slab and crush it.

In fact, the kang wall is not as fragile as she imagined, although her level is a little bit of a dish, but it is correct to climb up and stand up until it is dry, otherwise even if it is not crushed, it will not work if it is crooked, right?

Pei Yao looked at the iron pot she usually uses, and half a pot of rabbit meat is stewed (a rabbit that kills four catties), and the big pot used by people in the countryside has three or four big iron pots, and it comes out as soon as the pot is cooked, and even Jiajia's pot is larger than her own pot, although her own population is small.

Forget it, let's just build a small pot stove, and if you change the big pot in the future, you can change it again.

Soon, Pei Yao was in front of the smoke inlet on the side of the kang retaining wall, and a pot stove that was not pressed was built, and there was a big round hole in the middle of the pot stove, which was put in according to the iron pot and made a better job.

It's okay, now, it's dry when it's okay in the past two days, and when it's dry, you can finish the work and do it.

Now that she is free, Pei Yao took Duoduo to cut herbs on the gentle slope of the mountain, she was going to take an ox cart to the county seat to sell herbs when she was gathering the day after tomorrow, and by the way, she would visit the county seat of this era to see if she could find something special that others did not find good, but she understood something, commonly known as picking up leaks.

I have to say that Pei Yao is more familiar with the town by the river, and she is becoming more and more at ease with the world, she is not as cautious as she was at the beginning, but she didn't expect to relax her heart, but she suffered a big loss, but she also gained family affection by relying on each other.

With Duoduo carrying a rattan basket, he came to the place where there were many herbs in the gentle slope mountain, and harvested the cassia herbs. She had to harvest as much as she could at the right time, the herb bears seeds in the fall, and the harvest is best before it is ripe.

It is not good in winter when it dries up or when it sprouts in spring, and in the summer season, the effect of this herb is poor, and the price will also drop, but it is better to wait for the autumn harvest, and the price is high.

Pei Yao also noticed that some seedlings that were too short were not harvested, and it was good to keep them long, and the work of killing chickens and eggs could not be done.

After harvesting a bundle of herbs, the sun set, carrying the herbs down the mountain, throwing the herbs under the bamboo shed and waiting for tomorrow to dry, and cutting a handful of radish tassels and mixed rice for the chicken.

After Pei Yao thought about it, there are not many cassia herbs, I don't know how many years it has been generated at this scale, and it has been harvested by myself almost, so I won't cut the rest, keep the seeds, clean up the slope in the spring of next year, and plant all the herbs every year, and you will see the money back in a few years.

Now in addition to the herbs on hand, they are probably worth more than 10 taels of silver, and the county town has limited recovery of expensive points, so what do you rely on to make money after that?

Rattan weaving craft? Snack? Dim sum?

Forget it, now I have a place to stay, although it is harder, but I like this life and am willing to eat it.

If you can't wait until you can't wait until you think about showing up.
