Chapter 21 The Science of Building a Stove: It is better to cook things than to master north and south

"How's Ying'er?" Wu Zhi asked, caring about the little Lori with two pigtails.

"Don't mention it......" As soon as Li Zhong talked about this, he became angry: "I sent Ying'er home this morning, and by the way, I wanted to reason with her stepmother, but the dead mother-in-law was unreasonable at all, saying that it is natural for parents to beat their children, what qualifications do outsiders have to care, I accused her a few words, she jumped up and drove me outside, and scratched my face, I was really angry......"

"Forget it, Li Zhong, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, even a Qing official is difficult to judge family affairs, and we outsiders can't manage so many ......"

"No, I have to go to the set later, find Uncle Wu, and sue Pan's stepmother......" Li Zhong was angry:

"Brother Wu, why don't you go with me?"

"Li Zhong, it's not that I won't help you in this matter, you must know that you need to be hard to strike iron, with my current status, what weight does it have to say?"

"But do you just ignore it?"

"They live behind closed doors, what can we outsiders do? If you don't do it well, it's a disservice, Li Zhong, if you make such a fuss, maybe Ying'er will be beaten and scolded more and more! ”

"Zhuang Yuanlang is right, Li Zhong, I think you should bear with this matter for the time being, otherwise, it is Ying'er who is angry at the middle end, and it will be difficult for her to do it......"

Sister-in-law Gu on the side competently patted Li Zhong's shoulder and said loudly.

Li Zhong had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and express his approval.

"Champion Lang? What champion? Wu Zhi was shocked by the strange name.

"That's you, you successfully defeated many sons and buddies yesterday with the attitude of a little person who was 'three-inch Dinggu bark', and led a flower-like Pan Jinlian home, this matter has already spread throughout most of Qinghe, and the streets and alleys are talking about your deeds everywhere, you seem to have become a new celebrity in Qinghe City, so people in the market call you the champion......"

Three-inch Dinggu bark...... Wu Zhi knew that this title was going to be pasted on his face like a golden seal, and he would never be able to take it off again.

"Sister-in-law Gu, why don't I feel happy at all when I hear this, but feel very ashamed, it's better not to call me any champion, it's almost ...... to call me Tanhualang."

The three of them laughed, and Li Zhong's mood finally improved a lot.

"You two are here just in time, I just have something to ask you for help......

"Brother Tanhua, please have something to say!" Sister-in-law Gu Chong Wuzhi made a smile and smiled.

"I'm going to do some food business, and I'm going to open it tomorrow, so there's still a lot of things to prepare......"

"Okay, no problem. By the way, the brothers who ate wine and meat in Fukudain yesterday, when we came out in the morning, they also greeted us, saying that if you need their help in anything, please ...... by all means."

So, Wu Zhi began to explain his work.

In the morning, because of the stimulation of Jin Lian, Wuzhi was full of confidence and strength, after all, women are the most primitive motivation of men, thinking that his original ideal was to be a cook, and he was very good at cooking, so in combination with the current situation, he planned to open a noodle restaurant first.

You don't have to pick the location, just set in this Tianwang Hall, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the nearby scenery is very good, and the space inside and outside the temple can be used, people eat in the open air here, and the mood can be very free and happy.

As for the customers, although it is far away from the market, there are several villages and towns near Tianwangtang, and it is next to the Qinghe River, and the water of the Qinghe River flows from east to west, and it just cuts Qinghe County into two parts from the middle.

The place where Tianwangtang is located is in the northwest corner of the Qinghe River, close to the north, although it is not in the straight line of Jingyanggang, where merchants come and go most frequently, but it is almost the same, maybe it can attract some merchants to settle down and dine.

On the whole, the terrain is not good, but it is also average.

Once the location has been decided, it is time to prepare for the opening of the store. If you want to open a noodle restaurant, you must first have at least two large stoves.

Although there is a perfect stove in the house, when it comes to business, how can a stove be, and then you have to boil water, boil noodles and boil soup or something, and a stove can't win.

Originally, if there were two more electric noodle barrels would be the best, the kind of big noodle barrels specially used for business, not only lightweight, but also excellent for cooking noodles and simmering soup, as long as there is it, it is simply not too convenient, even the stove can be saved, but where to find that kind of thing here, and even if there is a noodle barrel, there is no electricity, and if there is no electricity, it will be reduced to shelving, and you can only stare dryly......

In this way, there is only an earthen stove, and what can be solved with only one thing has to be turned into a combination of two things: an earthen stove and a steamer.

This has to be done sooner rather than later. While having to build the stove and buy the pot, Gu's sister-in-law volunteered to buy the pot, so Wu Zhi compared the size and asked her to go to the town to buy two large casseroles first.

"Sister-in-law Gu, if you can't hold it, see if you can ask the guys in the shop to send things over, it's really not good, you can come back and take us to get it first......"

"I know."

Sister-in-law Gu took three coins of broken silver and went out of the Tianwang Hall. Wu Zhi originally wanted to give her the ingots and taels, worried that she would not have enough money to run for nothing, but she refused.

Start cooking on the spot.

Wu Zhi chose a vacant space on the right hand side of the courtyard and explained his thoughts to Li Zhong, Li Zhong nodded in approval, and then the two of them began to work.

Generally in the wild, the easiest way to build a stove is to use a three-section wooden stove. The method is very simple, just find three logs of the same height like piles in a triangle and erect them, if the soil is soft, you can tamp it into the soil, so that its structure is more solid, in this way, the main body of the stove becomes, the pot can rest on the three logs, and then, you only need to find some hay and branches or fallen leaves, stuff into the gap between the three log piles, light the hay, make the hay and fine branches catch fire, and further ignite the three logs as the main body of the stove. And constantly fill in the firewood, so that it can provide a fire source for a long time.

The advantage of this kind of stove is that it is quick to set up and has a large fire. The disadvantage is that when the three-section log used as a support burns completely and turns into dry charcoal, the entire stove will collapse. Therefore, it is only a disposable stove, and it does not last long.

Of course, before the stove collapses, just cooking a good meal is no problem, so there is no need to worry.
