When I walked to the kitchen, it was empty, and the stove had not even been set up.

"Lao Zhao, did you build this stove, or when the house is built, I will invite someone to build it myself?"

"Stove?" Zhao Dada can't look down on such a low-end job, he can help you build a beautiful brick if you find a little plasterer apprentice, do you still need him as a master, that is not a knife for slaughtering chickens.

"Hehe, the owner, it's not the old man I boast, the old man I haven't built a stove for ordinary people for decades, but today the owner said, the old man I will pick up the craftsmanship and help the owner build a stove with his own hands!"

Zhao Dafa thought that Liang Chuan was worried that their apprentices could not build a stove, the stove was a top priority, and there was no room for a trace of sparkle.

"Lao Zhao, I didn't mean that, don't laugh at me, I'll ask more, is the stove in our ordinary guest court like the hole in the ancestral hall?"

Zhao Dada didn't understand what Liang Chuan meant? Some couldn't answer.

"In other words, are the popular stoves the same as the ones in the ancestral hall?" Liang Chuan asked again.

"Yes, of course it's like this, isn't it possible that there are other structures of stoves? Except for my little apprentices, who built their own stoves with stones and mud, I have never seen any other style of stove. ”

This stove can not be changed by ordinary people, the stove is the fire virtue, and the fire virtue is unstable and all the ashes. It is possible that after a lifetime of hard work, a fire can burn to the point that there is no slag left.

Several Luocheng masters looked at Liang Chuan's thoughtful face, thinking that this owner wouldn't have any more ideas! They are very worried in their hearts, the stove is no better than others, and the things that can't be burned if they can't be built well are either not cooked, or they are overburned and often paste, and they will waste firewood. If you don't pay attention, the stove may burn through the roof after wearing the iron pot, causing a catastrophe.

Liang Chuan looked at the worried looks of the masters, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, the stove you use is backward compared to the stove used in our hometown, and the stove you use is not easy to use heat, I will tell you a plan, you will see if it will be better than your stove design."

Liang Chuan told several masters about the design concept of the firewood stove in the later generations. At first, a few masters thought that Liang Chuan still had the idea of a bamboo water pipe, but Liang Chuan said that the door and the stove were reduced, and the stove grate and chimney were added, and everyone began to think about the intention of such a design.

Liang Chuan said that the new stove has an additional fire ring, which prolongs the whirlwind distance and time of the high-temperature smoke flow in the stove, so that there is no need to add firewood frequently, and the temperature in the stove can be maintained. This will undoubtedly make the stove more effective.

"The owner, I haven't built the old man you said about the stove, but it shouldn't be difficult, let me build one and see the effect?" If Zhao Dafa didn't have permission, he wouldn't dare to practice with Liang Chuan's stove.

"Lao Zhao, you do what I say, it doesn't matter if you don't do it well, it's a big deal to tear it down and rebuild it!"

From the beginning of building a new house to this moment, Liang Chuan has never pointed fingers at Zhao Dada's craftsmanship, but today Liang Chuan made an exception. Because no one has ever done this stove, but Liang Chuan has only seen it, every farmer in later generations has a hole like this stove, and he has never used the stove to roast local melons when he was a child.

The stoves of this era generally did not pay attention to aesthetics, but only pursued practicality, because the appearance was mostly rough and unbearable. In fact, the stove should play the role of heat preservation and pot, so that the thickness of the stove should be uniform, the appearance is smooth, and the surface is flat.

Zhao Dafa and the others asked the apprentices to bring red bricks and mud, and built the stove while discussing. Zhao Tingchang is the most engaged in muddy water, picking up bricks and smearing mud, pointing where to wipe it. It is worthy of being a master, leveling and smoothing it is done in one go, and it will not drag mud and water at all.

The stove door is about one and a half inches lower than the smoke outlet, if it is higher than the smoke outlet, the smoke in the stove will run out of the stove door, and choking people will also take away some of the heat, so that the effect of saving firewood can not be achieved.

When wiping the edge of the pot, you should use hard mud to wipe it, and you can't run out of gas. The edge of the pan should not be an inch higher than the edge of the stove, otherwise a lot of heat will be lost.

On weekdays, when Zhao Dafa and them were working, there was a late point next to them who would unceremoniously blow people away. What kind of green onion are you, Lao Tzu has eaten this bowl of rice all his life, and he still needs you to point fingers.

But this time is different, although Liang Chuan doesn't understand anything, not even the most basic bricklaying, but the opinions he put forward are indeed the most reasonable, even the height difference between the edge of the pot and the edge of the stove has been calculated, can inexperienced people understand this?

Originally, even the apprentices couldn't look down on the muddy work, but the four masters were stunned to do it for him, and it took a morning's work. A beautiful wood-saving stove appeared in the kitchen, and everyone went to eat lunch satisfied.

It takes a while for the mud on the stove to be cold, but in the afternoon or evening you can check whether the so-called firewood stove really lives up to its name!

Although the experiment was not successful, Zhao Dafa was amazed by Liang Chuan's idea, and during the meal, Zhao Dafa accompanied Liang Chuan, chatting with Liang Chuan from time to time: "Owner, do you all use this new stove in your hometown?" ”

Liang Chuan didn't dare to tell him that now even this kind of stove is going to disappear, the years keep making new things and new technologies emerge, and the firewood stove is like the gas stove of later generations for their time, and it has become popular in thousands of households. But when even gas stoves could become obsolete, the advent of electromagnetic devices, as well as the use of natural gas, once again eliminated gas stoves.

"Almost, I just saw a pig run and never ate pork." Liang Chuan means that he has never built this kind of stove, and he has seen it with his eyes but has never done it.

Liang Chuan's modest words caused everyone to laugh, and the easy-going atmosphere infected the little apprentices, who rarely reported seeing their masters and masters shamelessly asking, and the owner could open their eyes.

The group casually pulled the Chinese rice, which was no longer gruel, but a real dry meal, and at least one meal a day had to be guaranteed.

The main rooms of the house can basically meet Liang Chuan's needs, and Liang Chuan didn't ask for anything, the difference is the last back room. The back room is in Liangchuan's plan, and this will be the base camp for making cane sugar in the future.

A few people thought that there should be some sundries here, and there was nothing to think about. But it often backfires!

The back room is connected by four rooms, and there is no partition, and it looks like a row of extra-large wings. It's just that this row of side rooms is at the back of the house, and the connection with the front yard is not directly smooth, but a small door and a back door are set up, and this row of back rooms is more like a building independent of the entire house. It is also possible to enter from the back without having to go through the front yard.

"I may have to work hard for you today, for fear that you will laugh, this back room has to build a row of stoves that are more complex than the firewood stove just now."

Liang Chuan is now going to build this stove is not widely advertised, this is called a chain stove, from the front to the back of a stove is higher than a stove, when boiling sugar, the five stoves are all fired, from high to low to catch water, the grasp of the heat must be negotiated to the benefit, otherwise it will make the sugar mushy.

Liang Chuan has heard that there are many folk eighteen rings of boiling sugar in a pot, this kind of process is more exquisite, the level of the Fu is also higher, juice, foaming, water, filtration, shaking, sanding, molding are completed in different pots, the same pot is different, it can be called a difficult technical action. This ancient method of boiling grain has long been lost, although many people in later generations claim to have been able to replicate this method of boiling sugar, but Liang Chuan does not know it at all, he knows how to use more soil, five pots.

"Owner, are you going to open a restaurant? With so many pots in the back, what restaurant can use so many pots? ”

It is undeniable that the new type of firewood stove made by Liang Chuan is very novel, but it is very puzzling that Liang Chuan made so many stoves and pots in the back room, they have never seen someone make this kind of request when building a new house, anyway, there is money to make, and the material money Liang Chuan is out, and it doesn't matter if he spends some man-hours.

This back room is very large, so big that Liang Chuan will be completely used to boil sucrose, and when the time comes, the sugar may also be placed indoors, he doesn't want a craft to be learned by others, and he can guess the same after learning, the process can be found out after exploration.

At that time, do you still have the competitive advantage, and do you still have the capital to negotiate conditions with Zheng Ruoying's little girl?

Liang Chuan also specially explained to Zhao Dafa that everything that was done in the back room could not be mentioned to people from the outside world, whether it was a stove or anything else, even the door handle lock could not be told to the outside world.

It is rare for the four masters to have Liang Chuan trust them so much, and they usually drink a lot of good wine from Liang Chuan, eat a lot of good meat, and cross the river to tear down the bridge to eat milk and scold their mothers. In order to reassure Liang Chuan, Zhao Dafa also asked the three masters of the later generation to swear in the name of the ancestor that the work done in the back room would not appear in the second place in the future, but would only rot in the stomach!

Liang Chuan hoped that they could help him keep the secret, but he didn't expect them to play so seriously, and swore that he was a little villain.

Is the oath useful, it is comparable to a shackle for a gentleman, and for a villain, it is a fart, and if you let it go, let it go.
