The first thing Wuzhi had to build was a nest-type stove. Considering that the air is cold in autumn and winter, the wind is strong, and it is not easy to ignite the fire, and the dimple stove can avoid this problem, so the construction started.

Wu Zhi measured with his feet, determined the two center points, and then began to dig holes in the ground with Li Zhong using these two center points as a benchmark, and the distance between the centers of the two holes was just the length of his own feet.

Wu Zhi didn't know how big the pots and pans he bought back was, and there was no mold to compare, so he didn't need to worry too much about the diameter of the hole, just dig down, and use his feet to determine the depth while digging. Half an hour later, Li Zhong's hole had been roughly successful, Wu Zhi leaned over, and then took his foot, which was just twice the length of his foot and twice the width of his foot......

Although there is no ruler, Wu Zhi knows that his feet are usually the most comfortable to wear size 43 shoes, through conversion, 43 + 10, and then divide by two, he calculates that his double foot length should be about 26.5 cm, and double the foot width should be 43-1, and then divide by 4, which is about 10.5 cm......

Of course, this is actually the length and width of the shoes, not the length of his own feet, Wu Zhi has been barefoot since he crossed here, so there is some error in measuring the depth of the hole with his feet, but although it is not accurate, it will not be wrong, and he can still know it in his heart.

The depth of the hole required by Wuzhi is to control it at about 40 centimeters, and now the depth of the hole is about 26.5 + 10.5, which is equal to 37.

What does that sentence say, no matter what it is, no matter what it is, it's dry!

What a lucky number!

The next thing is to control the width of the hole, just at this time Sister-in-law Gu came back with a casserole in one hand, Wu Zhi hurriedly rushed over to take it, Sister-in-law Gu was full of joy, and said happily:

"Tanhualang, this is a good product that I made a special trip to Xicheng to find, and I went to several restaurants to have this kind of Yaodu casserole, which is used to make soup and is fragrant......"

Wu Zhi squatted down and looked at the two casseroles. I saw that the height is about 20 centimeters, the diameter is two or three centimeters longer than the length of the foot, there are rounded pot ears on both sides, and the top side is a pot lid with a high degree of concealment......

Look outside, then touch inside. The inner tank is smooth to the touch, slightly bright lead white metallic luster, although the overall bile skin is not too thick, but it is the characteristics of Yaodu casserole, the emphasis is on thin skin and excellent quality, light and shiny, so, even if it is a relatively weak housewife to boil a pot of soup, and so that after the soup is completed, and then lift the casserole, the heavy feeling and the fragrant delicacy are more full of joy, whether it is the diner or the host are more satisfied.

It turns out that this is the famous Yaodu casserole.

It is rumored that Yaodu casserole was founded in ancient times, first produced in Yaodu, the skill was in Tao Tang, continued in the Spring and Autumn Period, perfected in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and prevailed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Its materials are exquisite and the craftsmanship is unique. It has been produced by handmade and single-furnace single firing, and the raw materials are made of local unique silicate natural ore - crucible mud, and mixed with soft mineral water homogeneous with crucible mud, and the water material is suitable for the unique characteristics and quality assurance of Yaodu sandware.

Yaodu casserole has a unique shape, is durable, and has a wide range of uses, which can be fried, steamed, boiled, stewed, boiled, baked, fried, and stewed.

It also has three major benefits:

First, it can maintain the original taste of food and prevent food from becoming moldy and deteriorating, which is incomparable with any metal utensils;

Second, the sand pottery itself has a stable structure and will not release metals and other substances harmful to the human body;

Third, the heat absorption and heat dissipation are slow and uniform, the heat retention is good, the most suitable for soup, eating hot pot and decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, is the most ideal cooking and stewing artifact at home, and the cooked things are nutritious.

Because of the various benefits of Yaodu casserole, as well as its original ecological aesthetic value and style of the original simple shape, in the modern millennium, it has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage in Shanxi Province, and its corresponding products are also exported to all over the country and abroad, widely praised.

It is both a handmade art and a food aesthetic.

It's a heritage of taste. Especially when Wu Zhi remembered that when he was a child, whether it was his own home or a neighbor's house, he used a similar casserole, when the casserole began to sound the cheerful sound of the cuckoo dong, and the fragrance spread "unscrupulously" from the corridor to every household, Wu Zhi couldn't help but drool, and sincerely exclaimed:

"It smells so good!"

This is the memory of childhood, the taste of the parents' craftsmanship, and the beauty of home.

"Sister-in-law Gu, you are awesome!" Wu Zhi gave a thumbs up to Sister-in-law Gu.

"How's that, isn't it? I was worried that you, a young man, would not be able to read the goods, so blame me for using money indiscriminately, to tell you, the three hundred wen has been used up, and there is not a cent left, and there is the kind of pot that only needs a few dozen wen, I didn't ask for it...... It's just a pity that there are no big ones, these two are already the biggest casseroles they have there......" Sister-in-law Gu said.

"It's okay, although it's a little smaller, but in fact, it just opened tomorrow, and it's estimated that it's ......enough to make do," Wu Zhidao said.

"If there's anything else I need to do, just say it!" Although Sister-in-law Gu is a woman, she is refreshing and does not drag her feet at all.

"Let's build the stove first, and then we will go down the mountain together to buy tables and chairs!"

"Okay."

According to the size of the casserole, Wu Zhi set the diameter of the hole of the earthen stove as one foot long, that is, about 27 centimeters. The three of them acted together, and soon, two holes with a diameter of 27 centimeters and a depth of 37 centimeters were dug, and the two holes were separated by about 20 centimeters.

Take the Yaodu casserole and place it, just right.

"OK, now let's have another barbecue!" Without doing anything, Wu Zhi entered a rhythm that could not be stopped as soon as he set up the stove, and planned to build a large stove for barbecue, anyway, one is already addicted, and the other is that good things are always prepared.

Prior to this, Wu Zhi was used to the days of using various ready-made tools, modern technology has made Wu Zhi quickly become most of the lazy people, housework is more and more dependent on various robots and electronic products, cooking is the last remaining housework activities that cannot be replaced by technology, however, the emergence and existence of two phenomena make people even take away the last little warmth that belongs to the family, one is takeaway, the other is the canteen......

Whether it's going to work or on vacation, people either mix the canteen to eat big pot rice, or they can order takeout to eat fast food......

As a result, many of the new generation of girls, although they have outstanding work ability and can sit on an equal footing with men, have lost the interest in cooking and missed the comfort and beauty of the dinner between family members......

Of course, this is a common phenomenon in the new era, and it is not an absolute right and wrong, but a choice and necessity. After a day of work, modern people are tired of the soul, how can they still be in the mood to cook......
