181. 094 Plate of ondol and ice cream
Mei Niang, who was in a good mood, suddenly wanted to eat ice cream, although it was cold outside and couldn't eat it, but it wasn't cold in the space, and it wouldn't melt away when it was done in the warehouse.
Since she has this idea, of course Mei Niang will not miss such a natural large ice storage, and when she is done with the fire kang, she will definitely make hundreds of buckets of ice cream and throw them in the space, and eat them whenever she wants.
Anyway, there is a food processor, and there are materials, but the difference is to put it in cold air to refrigerate. Of course, the main thing at the moment is the ondol.
Mei Niang first gathered all the family members together and told her about the idea of making a fire kang, and the Yun family did not let go, just when the weather outside was not too cold, everyone went out to move materials.
Before the others could speak, Uncle Jiang nodded, "Mei'er's idea is very good, I think it is feasible." ”
Uncle Jiang, who rarely speaks, thought it was feasible, and the family began to take action, taking advantage of the fact that it was still cold to move materials outside.
Bluestone slabs and bricks are indispensable, as for the loess that needs to be used, because it is too cold outside, the land can't be planed at all, so Mei Niang started the idea of an empty house.
At this time, the ground of the house is rammed and solid loess, which can greatly improve the weight capacity of the house ground, of course, this is more suitable for Mei Niang's idea, as long as the soil of the ground is planed apart, you can get the loess, although this will damage the house but it is also a last resort expedient.
After the last, Yun Lao Er started to dig the ground, Chen was responsible for transporting loess to the house, and the rest of the people went outside to pick up bricks and bluestone slabs.
Mei Niang also went home and told her about the kang, and the family also took action, but she had to transport all the materials back before it was too cold.
When the weather became cold again, the family finally gathered the materials, and the whole family mobilized and began to build a fire kang and a fire wall.
It's cold outside, but inside the house is full of energy.
Mei Niang has already explained the structure of the kang very clearly, first build a stove connected to the house in the outhouse, and then you can build a kang in the house.
Below is the flue with smoke, which is built with bluestone slabs, and a layer of water and dilute loess is smeared on top of the bluestone slabs, and a layer of square bricks is covered on top, and a flue that leads directly to the roof is built at the corner of the house, so that the smoke can be discharged from here.
Although no one had ever built such a ondol, they had high expectations for such a project, and it only took half a day to build the ondol.
There's nothing wrong with looking at it, all that's left is to wait for the stove to dry and make a fire. Everyone was very tired this night, and they slept very soundly, just waiting for tomorrow to test whether the new kang is good.
On the second day, just after dawn, everyone got up to verify the effect of the kang despite the cold outside the bed.
First, the firewood was lit, although the stove was still a little wet, and the firewood was not very smooth, but when the firewood was lit, the flame went down the kang hole into the kang, and everyone exclaimed in surprise, and it seemed that it had succeeded.
It burned violently for a long time, and then I went to touch the kang that had just been set up yesterday, and it was really hot, and I could feel the heat from the kang when I stood close.
Although the humidity in the room was very strong, I couldn't resist the feeling of not having to suffer from the cold anymore.
When I went to Yun's house at noon, the kang over there was also very good burning, and as soon as I entered the house, it was hot on my face, and it was estimated that it would burn until the evening, and the kang would be able to live in people.
Thinking that I don't have to be cold in the cold bed anymore, the whole family is in a good mood.
So, Mei Niang decided to make two stew pots, took out the small stove for boiling medicine at home, and added the small medicine stove of the Jiang family, put it on the table, put a casserole on it, and first made a big pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms, and a big pot of Chinese cabbage stewed tofu with a lot of pork belly slices.
After that, put it in a casserole and put it on the stove, eat it while it is hot, and then go to the cauldron on the stove to serve it when it is finished, and eat it warmly into the stomach and warm all over the body.
I haven't eaten together for a long time, except for Jiang Chuye and Yun Xuan, who are not there for some regrets, everyone eats very happily.
Wait until the night to sleep on the hot kang, and the warmth from childhood makes people feel comfortable and don't want to get up the next day.
Although the kang is a little smaller, everyone is very crowded when they fall asleep, but fortunately, there is no need to worry about freezing to death or freezing sickness in this harsh winter, which is much stronger than other people's homes.
Soon Uncle Cheng's family also came to learn from the experience, and then also started to build a kang, and even drove more people to act together, within a few days, every household in the village slept on such a warm kang, and the stove that burned the kang can also be used to cook, which is much warmer than the usual braziers, and it is more firewood-saving.
Some people's ondol materials are not enough, but in order to keep warm, they simply tear down the warehouses that cannot be used temporarily, or the partial buildings, and wait until the winter to build them again.
Other people's families were full of joy, only Jin Sanding couldn't stop feeling sad in his heart, if such a good kang had been set up earlier, his mother would not have to be frozen to death.
It's a pity that the people are gone, it's useless to think more, with the help of others, Jin Saning's family also built a plate of fire kang, but compared to other people's families crowded on a plate of big kang, his family is really cold and pitiful.
His mother was still parked in the open space outside the house, and waited for the weather to warm up before entering the earth, and he was the only one left in the house, and it was desolate everywhere.
In the days that followed, the life of sleeping on the warm kang was extremely happy, imagining that people elsewhere were shivering in the cold winter, but they could sleep warm and comfortable, and the sense of superiority was called a heightening.
Mei Niang asked Chong Zhijing to process the ingredients of ice cream in the cooking machine every day, and use the large wooden barrels with lids made in the textile printer, and she would put the large wooden barrels in a dilapidated brick kiln at the entrance of the village at noon, and wait for noon the next day to go over and replace the next batch.
The brick kiln has been abandoned for many years, and the place is big enough, although it is a little dilapidated, no one will come over if there is nothing to do, such as today's cold death, and no one will come here without something, but it is also convenient for Meiniang to freeze ice cream.
It is also a cooking machine that can only make semi-finished products, and things like heating and refrigeration are completely helpless, and Mei Niang can only do more by herself in order to satisfy her appetite.
The wooden barrels produced by Meiniang textile printers can each hold more than 100 catties, and the brick kiln is not small inside and out, and it is not a problem to freeze hundreds of barrels in one night.
In this way, the ice cream in Meiniang's space will be more than 100,000 catties in a few days, which is estimated to be enough for her to eat for a lifetime, and the taste is also quite good. Also, with space water, space milk, space fruit, space eggs...... Is ice cream made by everything made by Space not delicious?
Of course, in addition to the cream flavor, there are also various fruit flavors, and there are even cocoa tree fruits collected on the grassland to make cocoa-flavored ice cream, and Mei Niang continues to make the number of ice cream continues to grow.
Sometimes Mei Niang will also use a wooden barrel to fill the space water frozen, and in the summer, this is ready-made ice, whether it is eaten or used, the consumption is definitely not small.
Fortunately, it's cold, and no one usually goes to the brick kiln, Mei Niang is careful to do it, and she has not been discovered, and Mei Niang has been hiding in the space from time to time.
In a blink of an eye, the heavy snow that plagued Baohe Village gradually melted, and the snow on the smooth road flowed down the slope into the Duobao River, and the depression would collect different shades of snow water, mixed with the snow that had not melted in time, and the ice that had melted at night and frozen.
Most people don't go out without doing anything, and they go out to walk close to the shade of the wall where the sun is not basking in the sun, where the road surface has not yet melted, and the hard ones can walk.
When the snow melted, the body of Wang Daniu's family, who was thrown not far from Jin Sanding's house, was exposed, and it was not so much for them to be exposed like this.
Jin Saning's mother has a coffin, which has been placed in the side building for many years, and it is still a good cypress coffin that she saved in the early years.
On the day of the funeral, the whole village went, and the queue was very long, and it was rare to get such a scenery after death in such a year.
Although the cold seems to have passed, everyone's hearts are uncomfortable, this God, always give people a stick when they leave some hope, and today's people don't have much hope for the weather that seems to be getting better and better, but I'm afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment at that time.
The grave was chosen in the back mountain, in the forest that had been cut down, the ground was still frozen, and a few lumps of dirt were splashed down with a pickaxe, and several strong laborers took turns to dig a small pit the size of a foot for half a day.
Fortunately, after the beginning, the back is also easy to plan, because there are many people, all stay in the mountain path is a little crowded, and some people go to the back slope a few more steps.
Suddenly, someone saw a few corpses half buried in the snow over there, and saw that there was a large leeward rock, presumably when the heavy snow first came, several people wanted to hide from the snow here, but they underestimated the momentum of the snow, and finally failed to go down the mountain.
Yueniang didn't know that the Chongzhi mirror was in Meiniang's space, and asked Meiniang in a low voice: "Do you want to take a look?" Maybe Chongzhi Mirror ......"
Meiniang nodded, she didn't want to explain too much to Yueniang, she could only let her see it to rest assured, in Yueniang's eyes, Chongzhijing was a very capable uncle, and he seemed to be very loyal to his sister, and he was a good person.
Mei Niang also wants to take a look, if the guess is good, these people should be the ones who injured Chongzhi Mirror, I'm afraid they didn't expect that luck would freeze to death on the mountain, as the people sent by the prince to connect with Su Huanyu, these people must be first-class masters, such a death method is really a bit of a nest.
Soon, the bodies of those people were dug up, and they were all recognized through identification, all of them were 'married' when people from other villages poured into the village some time ago, three men and two women, disappeared before the snow, and they were just fleeing outside, and they didn't expect to die here.
And their common characteristic is that when they got married, they were all alone, without a home or a mouth, just to be able to eat a mouthful of food.
Mei Niang is not sure whether these people are the prince's people, if it is suspicious to say that outsiders are suspicious, but they would even think of the trick of 'marrying' into the village, and the price paid is big enough.
When he asked Su Huanyu, he only said that he was bumped into by Chongzhijing when he met with the prince's people, and Chongzhijing was the one who betrayed the prince, so he would kill Chongzhijing, but now Su Huanyu didn't say that those people had been hiding in the village.
