Chapter 19 Chenjiacun Pankang Movement
The sky gradually dawned, the pale blue sky was inlaid with a few residual stars, the earth was hazy, like shrouded in a silver-gray light veil, the sun slowly emerged from the back of the mountain, and the small half round of purple-red flames immediately illuminated the dim sky, behind the bright morning glow, like an endless blue satin. The birds outside the window made a pleasant song, and the people in the village had come to the yard of the dog's house one after another. Why did they come to Godan's house so early?
After waking up from the dog's father, under the care of the family, his health is getting better day by day. The kind-hearted village names also ran to the dog's house every once in a while to deliver some things. In this era, people are still very friendly with each other, as long as you are not a hooligan or a bully in this village, and something happens to you, the kind village name will find a way to help you solve the problem, of course, the premise is that the problem must be within the scope of their solution.
It all started with the dog's father being injured.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it takes a long time for the wounds of the dog's father to heal, Chen Yi has stayed in this village for a long time, watching the villagers have to be frozen every night, and his heart is not happy, Chen Yi told the thoughts in his heart, the dog Dan family, Chen Yi plans to make a soil kang in the dog Dan's house.
"Long-term sleeping on the fire kang has the effect of health preservation and disease prevention, the fire kang releases a large amount of far-infrared rays, which can allow tired people to naturally and quickly relieve fatigue during sleep, promote blood circulation, regulate meridians, and also avoid colds, waist and leg pain, rheumatoid joint disease, hemorrhoids and women's postpartum diseases and other diseases. Especially for the elderly and patients with low back and leg pain, there are more advantages that other beds cannot replace, the fire kang can not only drive away dampness and cold, but also can keep warm for a long time, bringing people infinite comfort. Chen Yi carefully told the dogan family about the benefits of the earthen kang, but the dogan family was very happy. Goudan called the aquatic family, and with the help of everyone, moved the bed near the wall to the other side of the house, and cleaned it.
Since there are no stone bricks, Tatsumi has always used soil and plant straw to live into mud, and poured the mud into a wooden frame of the same size, so that the simple version of the brick is ready.
The soil kang is usually raised to half of the height of the kang with soil and sand on the ground, and then the flue in the shape of "self" is built with mud bricks, which is called the kang hole as the saying goes. Chen Yi explained to the dogs one by one why he did this. Wait until everything you want to use is ready. After Chen Yi set up the size in the house, he first built the flue with mud bricks, and then filled it with soil, which would be stronger, and after the kang surface was finally paved, it would not be easy to sink.
The width of the kang hole does not exceed the length of a mud brick, generally 2/3 of the length of the mud brick, and the height is about 4 or 5 mud bricks (depending on the height of the kang), and the horizontal bricks are laid in the same direction.
The kang of the dog egg family is very large, when intervaling one or two kang holes, Chen Yi specially left two deep pits in the kang hole, and the live dog eggs of digging the soil were done by one person, Chen Yi first demonstrated, the aquatic father was reinforcing it with mud bricks, so that it was convenient to open the kang surface after the ash was more, this pit was called the ash chamber, which was the residue of the plant.
The interface with the chimney must also be there. Because the left side is relatively open, Chen Yi left the chimney on the left, and finally used the poured large mud bricks to cover the kang surface horizontally, and then smoothed it with sand and mud. The kang hole must be made of yellow mud and not mixed with other things. When wiping the kang noodles, Chen Yiyi used yellow sand, which was also mixed with a small amount of yellow mud, about 8:1 according to the ratio.
In order to look good, the side of the kang was also roughly touched with mud and sand.
So with the help of the aquatic father, it took three days for the world's first earthen kang to finally come out.
After the kang is ready, Chen Yi and Goudan together hugged a lot of dried straw of plants and filled the straw into the kang hole, a few days ago to the dog's father used to jump the blood transfusion bottle of the small wooden stick, just used it, it is considered to be used again.
Chen Yi took the fire fold from the dog's hand, blew out the flames, and ignited the plant straw in the kang cave. The flaming red flames were accompanied by the crackling sound of the straw, and the fire slowly burned inside.
"Childe, it's smoking, it's smoking." The dog jumped up excitedly. The rest of the people laughed happily, if it weren't for Chen Yi saying that there was moisture, he would have planned to lie on the kang and feel it, try to see if it is as magical as Chen Yi said, work hard during the day, lie down on the kang at night, and the backache and leg pain accumulated during the day will soon disappear.
"Ahh There's a monster coming out, help! Woo woo...... "Tiger Girl ran out of the house in a panic, crying. When Chen Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, could it be that there are still monsters in this world?
The dog's mother held the tiger girl who ran out in her arms, and kept gently patting the tiger girl's back, and in her mother's arms, the tiger girl slowly stopped crying. Chen Yi and a few people walked in to take a look, what kind of monster was there, this was because it was the living soil of the day, because after being heated underneath, the moisture in the soil turned into gas and ran out of the cracks.
After Chen Yi explained the reason, they all joked about the tiger girl, and the tiger girl felt a little shy and buried her head in her mother's chest.
After a while, the tiger girl ran to the side of the kang again, put her hand on the hot place, felt hot, and when her hand became warm, she ran to her mother's side, covered her little hand on the back of her mother's hand, and warmed her mother's hands. When the aquatic life saw it, he stretched out his hand to the bubbling place, and when his hand was warm, he planned to warm his father's hand, who knows. The aquatic father is a chestnut on the head of the aquatic life.
"What does a man, like a girl, become?" Shui Sheng's father pretended to teach Shui Sheng a harsh lesson, in fact, his heart was very warm, he knew that the child wanted to be close to him, but so many people were watching, he was embarrassed.
Chen Yi fell asleep in the morning, just opened his hazy eyes, and suddenly appeared in front of him a face like a cat, there was a smell of burning, coming from the dog's side, Chen Yi took a big jump, and thanks to Chen Yi did not have a heart attack, otherwise it is estimated that he would have to go to the west.
"Dog, you don't know that people are scary, scared to death."
"Childe, I don't know." The dog said innocently to Chen Yi.
"Why are you going? What a burning smell on the body. Chen Yi asked curiously, the dog egg was colorful, and the reason was told to Chen Yi, after Chen Yi listened, he couldn't help laughing with his stomach in this place, and when the dog egg burned the kang at night, he found too much plant straw, and put the straw inside, there was still a little left, and the dog egg was stuffed in, and when he was on the fire, he didn't light it for the first time, and when he was lying at the door and blowing with his mouth, the flame came out of the door, and the hair was lit, and his face was blackened.
In the morning, the people in the village saw the appearance of the dog and asked, and after the dog egg was explained, the people passed on to each other, and they all wanted to come and see if this magical clay kang was as magical as the dog depicted.
