Chapter Ninety-Two: The Unforgettable Ondol

The main hall was so large that it took up a small half of the room...... Well, whether this thing is ** or called a couch, in fact, Li Lizhi has never figured it out, but now she finally knows.

It turns out that this thing is called Kang!

Anyway, when she heard Fang Fengzhu standing by the kang to explain, Li Li felt very awkward in her heart, because she always felt that the statement of the kang was really ......

Not elegant enough!

In the words of the future, it is too earthy.

However, as a cultured princess of the dynasty, of course Li Lizhi would not directly question this, and she was not a junior who could complain about the name given by the emperor's uncle, so after just smiling, she curiously touched this so-called kang with her hand first!

It's so warm!

As soon as she put her hand up, Li Lizhi immediately felt something amazing!

"This ......"

After a while,

She immediately remembered the word "fire" on the fire kang, and her eyes widened instantly: "Princess, this is ...... Is this a fire or not? ”

"Haha, the princess is really smart!"

Clapping his hands, Fang Fengzhu immediately smiled and nodded: "That's right, it was the fire that was lit below, otherwise it wouldn't be so warm, wouldn't it?" That's how the saying of the fire kang came about...... The place where the fire is lit is at the back of the house, so you can't usually see it, and someone will take care of it all the time! So not only is this kang very hot, everyone will not feel cold at all when they sit on it, play cards, or play mahjong, and at the same time, the room will become very warm, so you have to take off your clothes after you come in...... Hehe, in fact, if the princess has been sitting on the kang for a long time, even this horse clip will probably have to be taken off. ”

When he said this, Fang Fengzhu's eyes faintly flashed with pride.

Li Lizhi is not the first person to be surprised by this fire kang, and she is definitely not the last. In fact, almost everyone who just saw this thing couldn't help but widen their eyes and open their mouths wide, as if a countryman had entered Chang'an City for the first time.

In today's Chang'an City, there are few ondols.

In addition to this club, it is also found in the Han Wangfu, the Liang Guo Mansion and the Yingguo Mansion, and almost all of them have only been listed in the last two months.

Like everyone else, Li Li was very surprised in her heart, and she also liked it very much!

After taking off her shoes at the signal of Fang Fengzhu and climbing onto the kang, while feeling the warmth under her body, she kept touching the quilt on the kang with her hands, and Li Lizhi murmured in a low voice: "The kang ...... It's a good thing for winter! Auntie, this fire kang ...... Is it easy to do? ”

"This ...... It shouldn't be easy, right? ”

After a pause, Fang Fengzhu frowned slightly, shook his head a little uncertainly, and said: "I don't know exactly how to do it, but I heard from the craftsmen at home that they were confused when they received the order, and then they tried more than forty times before they barely found the right way......"

"Orders? Whose order? Is it Uncle Huang? ”

When she heard this, her heart moved, and Princess Changle hurriedly asked.

"Yes, of course it's him."

Without thinking much about it, Fang Fengzhu immediately nodded and smiled: "That is, he always has this kind of whimsy, whether it is a sauna or this ondol, it is a method that he occasionally comes up with on a whim...... Ahem, but most of the time your uncle just has an idea, or sees an idea in a certain book, and the rest is left to the craftsmen to do......"

"Hehe, that's nature."

Looking at the sudden flash of unnatural color on her aunt's face, Li Lizhi smiled secretly in her heart, and nodded quietly on her face.

What does his eleventh emperor uncle look like, can Li Lizhi not know?

Even if he didn't usually hear about it, just when he went to see his father, Li Shimin didn't know how many times he had complained...... However, Li Lizhi also knew that although the eleventh emperor uncle was obsessed with craftsman's affairs, especially the business affairs, it did make his father very troubled, but in the same way, whether it was a quyuan plow or a rollover, or stir-fried vegetables, glass and other things, there were many benefits to the Tang Dynasty, so that the father was just complaining, and he would not really reprimand or punish the eleventh emperor uncle.

So this fire kang, the method must have been thought up by Uncle Huang.

Li Li was very sure of this in her heart, but her face was just smiling, and after pressing the soft cushion on the kang hard, her heart moved, and she asked with a smile: "Auntie, the soft cushion on this kang is not also made of cotton, right?" ”

"Huh? You guessed it? ”

"Huh? It's true?! ”

Seeing Fang Fengzhu nodding in confirmation, Li Lizhi was taken aback: "My God, this is also ...... Too extravagant, right? Isn't cotton a rarity? ”

"Haha, where!"

Seeing her surprised look, Fang Fengzhu suddenly laughed and said; "Cotton used to be scarce and expensive, just because everyone planted less...... In recent years, we have to plant at least 100 acres of cotton, and there is no shortage of this stuff! And next year, I will plant more, and when the time comes, I will send some to the Zhao Guogong Mansion, and the princess can also give it a try. ”

“…… Thank you, Auntie. ”

After a pause, Li Lizhi nodded, but there was some confusion between her eyebrows.

More?

Isn't 100 acres enough?

She knows the policy of the Tang Dynasty, especially those fertile fields like those under the name of King Han, which do not seem to allow the cultivation of crops that are unexpected in grain...... Of course, no one cares about the magnates who occasionally violate some rules, but the area of more than 100 acres is a bit exaggerated.

Of course, Li Lizhi didn't know about planting cotton, Li Yuanjia had already greeted the emperor, and the reason was that the field hospital needed cotton cloth to wrap the wounds of the wounded!

So it's just a few hundred acres of land, where can Li Shimin object?

For a while, Li Lizhi also had nothing to say, and simply quietly experienced the heat under her body - for them, kneeling on the soft collapse has long been used to it, so there is nothing unaccustomed to sitting back from the chair.

And under Fang Fengzhu's greeting, the other people who had just gotten off the kang to greet Princess Changle also returned to the kang one after another.

At this time, Li Lizhi suddenly realized that there were quite a few people who came today, and the two who had just come in were actually half full of half of the fire kang - roughly calculated, there were at least twelve or thirteen!

So without being instructed, the maids hurriedly moved a small square table.

"Alright, sisters."

After the small table was set, Fang Fengzhu greeted with a smile: "It's still early, everyone can play whatever they want...... At noon, I asked Yu Niang to prepare a few new dishes, and everyone had a good taste. ”

"Gee, is there a new dish to eat?"

"I'm really lucky today, I'm late for Yu Niang's new dish again."

"Wow, it's a pity that Sister Liu Yue didn't come today."

……

In the midst of the gossip of joy, Li Lizhi couldn't help but be a little happy, but her mind was still on the kang at this time, and when everyone began to prepare to play mahjong or cards, she pulled Fang Fengzhu's little hand: "Auntie, can you make ......one for me on this kang too?"
