The snow fell one after another, and there was a thin layer on the ground, and the roofs of the trees were covered in white, making the whole Chang'an appear even colder.

It was cold outside, but inside the house was as warm as spring.

Yun Yao came to the first winter of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made her really unbearable.

She has never experienced such a severe cold, there is no difference between hot and cold in the interstellar era, the temperature is a constant temperature for many years, it can be said that it is warm as spring, so that people can hardly feel the temperature change, she has lived in that environment for more than two hundred years, and now in ancient times, not to mention how it is in summer, it is really hot that she can't stand it, and in winter, it almost freezes people's noses.

Even if it's cold, the key is that the heating equipment in this era is really backward.

Poor families can't even afford to burn carbon, so they can only nest in bed to be frozen, but rich families do have charcoal burning, but it's just a brazier, and the house can't be warm.

In winter, where is there not a few people who die because of burning charcoal.

Yun Yao only used the brazier for a day and was smoked, so she insisted on saying that she didn't need anything.

Qi Jing felt sorry for her, and let her put fur on the bed and floor in the house, wanting to make Yun Yao warmer, but Yun Yao couldn't see Qi Jing stepping on things so badly.

She had the intention of getting some heating in the house, but now that the conditions were not suitable, she had to re-lay the pipes and make iron heating equipment, which could not be done in a day or two.

There is another limitation of heating, that is, the Qi family's house is too big. If it is too hard to lay the heating pipes and use too much carbon, even if the Qi family can afford it, Yun Yao can also make such a big boiler, but the hot and cold water circulation is a big problem, the water circulation cannot be opened, and the boiler can only boil so little hot water no matter how good it is, and many rooms are afraid that the water in the boiler is boiling, and the house is still cold.

Yun Yao couldn't help it. She is just skillful and capable. But it was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, so she could only lower the conditions and lower them again, and finally made a simple charcoal stove.

It seems to be the simplest in Yunyao, and there is no technical content at all. It can almost be called a primitive carbon furnace. To the people of this era. It's amazing too.

When Yun Yao filled the carbon stove and burned it with charcoal, but the room was hot after a while, everyone in the Qi family was really happy.

This charcoal stove is much better than a brazier. The carbon stove does not pick carbon, and the worst bamboo charcoal is tasteless to burn, and it can also boil water, stew, and soup, and the utilization rate is also greatly improved, which is simply good and can not be better.

The carbon furnace is really not a difficult thing for Yun Yao, she can build it in minutes.

After only a few days of hard work, the Qi family up and down even used a carbon furnace to guard the door.

Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu's house is the most spacious, Yun Yao got them a big carbon stove, this kind of furnace is divided into two layers, the lower layer burns carbon, the upper layer can be filled with water to boil water, and the layer of boiling water also has a small water tap, if you use hot water, as long as you twist the water tap, the water will come out, it is simply convenient, Qi Gu's eyes are not visible, and he is reluctant to leave around the stove all day.

The same stove was also used in Mrs. Guan's house, and after Mrs. Guan got the stove, she picked a few items from her dowry and gave them to Yun Yao to express her gratitude.

The rest of the silver bamboo are ordinary carbon stoves, and copper kettles are placed on the stoves to boil water.

Yun Yao was afraid of the cold, so she put two stoves in her room, and the whole room was so burning that people wanted to take off their clothes as soon as they entered.

The subordinates of the family have small carbon stoves in the house, but the Qi family is really good to the subordinates, these small carbon stoves are burning vigorously in a day, but they are better than in previous years to survive the winter, and those subordinates are simply grateful to the main family.

It snowed on this day, and Yun Yao and Yinzhu were listening to her talk about the ancient times in Mrs. Guan Gu's house.

The snow outside is getting bigger, it's not good to go out to play, Mrs. Guan Gu has nothing to do, she is a very gentle person at any time, and she talks to Yun Yao very carefully, and tells all the old things she has heard about in Chang'an City little by little, and it is nice and interesting.

Yun Yao listened, and after Mrs. Guan Gu said something, she urged to talk about some more things.

Mrs. Guan Gu talked about the earlier things, I don't know why, and mentioned the personnel in Chang'an City now, speaking of Emperor Chengping, and whispered: "Although there is nothing surprising in virtue today, and his political achievements are mediocre, but he is the most able to give birth, and the prince alone has given birth to more than 20, the Great Zhou Dynasty since Taizu, in terms of what can be born, it is now counted, although there are many princes, but now it is because Emperor Wen has no heirs to inherit the family and the country to him, so today, the princes are highly valued, except for the twelve princes, I love the other princes very much. ”

Speaking of which, before others could ask, Qi Baobox couldn't help but ask: "Why did you get rid of the Twelve Princes?" Doesn't Your Majesty like the Twelve Princes? ”

"The Twelve Princes are ugly." Mrs. Guan Gu lowered her head and sighed a little: "Your Majesty only likes good ones, and I feel uncomfortable when I look at the Twelve Princes." ”

Just such a sentence made everyone in the Qi family have mixed feelings in their hearts, except for Yun Yao, they are all ugly, and they are ridiculed all day long, how can they not understand what it is like to be looked down upon because of their ugliness.

Mrs. Guan Gu also thought of this, and when she regretted the royal things she had talked about earlier, she looked left and right, and said curiously: "Why didn't the fifth girl come today?" ”

Yun Yao knew that Mrs. Guan Gu had the intention of enlivening the atmosphere, and hurriedly said: "The fifth sister heard that the vegetarian food in the White Horse Temple is a must in Chang'an, and today I saw that the weather was not good, thinking that there should not be many wives and girls in the temple who went to taste vegetarian food, she should be able to eat a few more, so she took advantage of the bad weather to pass." ”

Saying this, Mrs. Guan Gu was amused, who went to the temple on a snowy day to eat a meal, Qi Lao Wu is really interesting, he can do anything for a bite of food.

"Except for the five girls, there are no tourists in the White Horse Temple today." Mrs. Guan Gu laughed: "Your five girls are really interesting, since she came to Chang'an City for such a short time, I'm afraid she has visited most of the famous restaurants in the city, right?" ”

Yun Yao also smiled: "No, I had a fight with someone in Yueyang Tower for a bite to eat, but fortunately I met Xie Dingguo to settle the matter, otherwise, I don't know what happened." ”

As he was talking about this, he saw Peony enter the door with snow draped on his shoulders, and as soon as he came in, he smiled and said, "I just heard what my wife said about the Xie family, but isn't the Xie family coming?" ”

"What's the matter?" Yun Yao asked: "Is it that your future third aunt sent some strange objects, according to me, there is no way to please the daughter-in-law who has not entered the door, and he still sent someone over on a cold day." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Tongsuo's face turned red, and he glared: "A dog can't spit out ivory in its mouth." ”

Yun Yao was not angry, and said with a smile: "I want to spit out the ivory, but I really don't have that ability, if the third sister can spit it out, please spit one for me to see, that's really amazing, our family doesn't have to do anything from now on, just wait for the third sister to spit out the ivory." ”

"I won't tell you." Qi Tongsuo rarely showed the delicate appearance of his little daughter, and made a room full of people laugh.

Peony also smiled: "It was the old lady of the Xie family who sent someone to send some fresh melons and vegetables, saying that they were planted on his hot spring village, and they all got three or four baskets of them, and gave our family a basket for everyone to try." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qi Yinzhu hugged Qi Tongsuo: "It turned out to be a food delivery, I still remember that a few days ago someone complained that they could only eat radish and cabbage in winter, and the birds faded out of their mouths, it can be seen that there are really many people in this world." ”

Qi Tongsuo's face turned even redder, and he tried his best to break away from Qi Yinzhu and left: "One or two of you know how to bully people, so I won't play with you." ”

Yun Yao hurriedly grabbed the copper lock: "Third sister, don't be angry, but just kidding, sit down quickly, otherwise I will annoy you." ”

Qi Tongsuo had no choice, and he didn't dare to struggle, so he could only sit down in a sullen voice.

Yun Yao asked Peony again: "What about the person sent by the Xie family to deliver the food?" ”

Peony smiled: "I was talking to the old lady, and the old lady asked the slave to tell the wife, and by the way, I asked Mrs. Guan and the girls what they wanted to eat at night." ”

Immediately, several people began to order food, and the peonies were written down one by one, and then withdrew.

As soon as she left, Yun Yao asked Mrs. Guan about some things in the royal family, and everyone also forgot about the previous jokes and listened energetically.

Mrs. Guan Gu said with a smile: "Your Majesty's most disdainful is the twelve princes, but the favorite child is Princess Changle, Princess Changle is really good-looking, known as the first beauty in Chang'an, but Princess Changle's life is not very good, it can be said that she is married to a non-human ......."

These people of the Qi family were fascinated by Mrs. Guan Gu's soft words, none of them thought about such a snowy day, except for Qi Baozhu in the White Horse Temple, who was not afraid of the cold and rushed to eat vegetarian food, there was actually a same diner.

Qi Baozhu stepped on the snow and walked to the gate of the White Horse Temple, stomped his feet, asked his feet to be warmer, and carefully grabbed the white fox fur cloak he was wearing on his body, and only then did he want to enter the door, he saw a tall and strong man wearing a crimson cotton robe and a black cloak coming from afar.

The man walked closer and glanced at Qi Baozhu, frowned and walked a few steps, then stopped and turned back to Qi Baozhu: "What is the difficulty of this girl?" ”

The man was about to look at Qi Baozhu, a single woman standing at the gate of the White Horse Temple on such a snowy day, thinking that he should be in distress, but he was a warm-hearted person, and he wanted to pull a hand when he encountered someone in distress.

Qi Baozhu also thought of the man's thoughts, and smiled: "There's nothing embarrassing, I just want to come and taste vegetarian food." ”

The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hugged his fist at Qi Baozhu: "It turned out that I met a fellow practitioner, and I also came to eat vegetarian food, even so, if the girl doesn't dislike it, it's better to be with me, and how about a table under me?" ”

Qi Baozhu couldn't ask for it, and immediately happily agreed.

The two of them entered the temple gate together, and first found the monk to tell him what he meant, and when the monk heard that these two people wanted to eat vegetarian food, he immediately made a bitter face. (To be continued.) )
