Tang Xidong raised his head, looked at the gloomy faces, put away his smile, thought about it and beckoned: "Come, take you to see a novel thing." ”

After saying that, he went into the house alone.

At this time, a lot of smoke dissipated in the house, Tang Xidong walked to the stove, looked at the fire, and walked into the teenagers behind him.

When everyone looked at the spacious earthen kang, they all came to look at it curiously, and some people reached out to touch it, and doubts flashed in their eyes.

"This thing in front of you is called a fire kang. This thing was invented by the Tartars, we are already so cold here, the Tartars live in the Northeast, it is even colder there, how can we live so cold? So they invented the ondol. Tang Xidong patiently explained to a group of children.

Only when you have interest can you learn knowledge.

"This thing, was it really invented by the Tartars? What's the use? A young man looked at the kang and asked curiously.

"Of course it was invented by the Tartars, but I should have made this one differently from theirs, or perhaps a little more advanced than them."

"The advantage of a fire kang is that it can make the house warm, so that you don't have to sleep cold at night."

"Come and see, it's the stove. There is a fire in this stove, and the smoke and heat from the fire will flow here, that is, the flue, and the flue is the same as the chimney in everyone's house, but this flue leads horizontally to the inside of the earthen kang and does not go up directly. When the smoke enters the flue, it will also bring the heat of the fire into the flue, and the hot air will heat the flue under the kang and the kang will also be hot, so that if you sleep on it at night, you will not feel cold, as long as you cover the bedding thinly, you can be warm like spring. ”

Tang Xidong took the teenagers and explained little by little.

After watching everyone understand the general situation, he took everyone out of the house again, holding small stones, posing in the shape of the flue "self", and explaining the production of the flue.

After waiting for everyone to understand, Tang Xidong said: "Although you have all seen this ondol, but you have not experienced the benefits of the ondol, wait for the stove to heat up for a while, and when the ondol is dry, you go up and lie down to feel it to see if it is warm." ”

The teenagers nodded excitedly.

"Mr. Tang, how do you know so much?" The big child's name is Tang Sanxian, his father used to play Sanxian, so he gave him such a name, at this moment, the little guy raised his head and asked curiously.

"If you have a pair of eyes that can discover new things, a pair of ears that can hear more, a pair of hard-working hands, and finally a thinking mind, then you will understand so much, and even many, many other things that others do not understand, and you will also understand." Of course, Tang Xidong can't say that Lao Tzu has more than 300 years of knowledge than you, so he said this, which can be regarded as teaching this group of children.

But apparently, these children still don't understand what he's saying.

So a group of teenagers stayed here in Tangxi East, waiting for the kang to dry.

Tang Xidong saw that he was idle anyway, not to mention that there were so many free laborers, so he took advantage of their interest and took the children to the side of the mountain and forest next to them to cut wood.

Fortunately, axes and machetes have been found before.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Tang Xidong took the teenagers to cut down a few small trees, and then asked the three children to find a few more machetes and split the trunks into long wooden sticks together.

Then around the front and back of the house, began to enclose a square fence, the middle of the fence was made into a novel pattern, there are regular and irregular, and even cartoon characters from later generations, which looks very tasteful.

The teenagers also used their brains to make their own imaginary patterns one by one, and then fixed them with cloth strips or mortise and tenon joints.

When the sun was about to set, the whole fence was made, looking at the new and beautiful fence, every teenager had a smile on his face, and there was their efforts and achievements in it.

"Okay, everyone come back and wash your hands, and I'll roast rabbits for everyone to eat." Tang Xidong clapped his hands and beckoned the teenagers into the courtyard.

In the afternoon, when cutting trees, Tang Xidong was lucky to find a rabbit nest, so he took the quilt and asked the teenagers to guard the entrance of the cave, and he lit fireworks at the entrance of the hole, and then luckily, with a pot, caught five rabbits at once, four of which had grown very fat.

Peel the skin and remove the dirt, light a fire on the stove, and then make a string of wooden shelves, put it on the stove and grill it slowly, but unfortunately there are few condiments, only salt, so I can only make do with it.

The first rabbit roasted was distributed by Tang Xidong to the teenagers to treat them, sitting on the kang that had been dried and boiled, eating the rabbit meat flowing with oil, and the faces of the teenagers showed happy smiles.

Even if the rabbit meat is only sprinkled with salt, it is already delicious in this era.

Tang Xidong looked at the dirty little faces, and hurriedly lowered his head, he was afraid that these children would see his red eyes and his pity eyes.

He knew that these children didn't really need to be pitied, just like they were really happy at the moment.

"Mr. Tang, your kang is really warm, can I beg you to plate one for my house tomorrow? In that way, my mother and sister will not be afraid of freezing at night. A somewhat petite child looked at Tang Xidong expectantly with his face up.

Tang Xidong's nose was sour again, he didn't know why he came to this world, looking at this group of children, his feelings were inexplicably plump, maybe he was infected by the innocence of the children.

"Okay, I'll go to your house tomorrow and give you a plate." Tang Xidong smiled and nodded.

So the young man thanked him happily, and smiled brightly on his red face.

"Mr. Tang, I also want to ask you to give me a plate."

"And my family, my family."

"My family wants it too."

……

Next, they quarreled and begged Tang Xidong to go to the fire kang, and Tang Xidong happily agreed.

So the boy ate more deliciously.

Roasting three rabbits in a row, the teenagers have not eaten so much and eaten so beautifully for a long time as they did today.

If it weren't for Tang Xidong persuading everyone, they couldn't eat too greasy for dinner, otherwise their stomachs would be uncomfortable, and this group of children would be able to eat another one.

After that, the children said goodbye to Tang Xidong one by one, and after this afternoon's contact, this group of children was already very close to him.

Because Tang Xidong has a unique kindness, like a friend.

Tang Xidong cleaned up, then took the last roasted rabbit, and then took the young rabbit in the cage and walked towards Liu Lianqing's yard.

Although he was no longer hungry, he still wanted to give the roasted rabbit to Liu Lianqing and Xiaoqian.

After all, there is really very little oil and water in the cottage.

Entering Liu Lianqing's courtyard, Xiao Qian had already prepared dinner, and it seemed that she was waiting for him, Tang Xidong was a little embarrassed.

"There's something going on today, and I'm delayed." First, there was a confession.

Then he handed the roast rabbit in his hand to Xiaoqian: "In the afternoon, I caught a few rabbits, and the group of leather monkeys in the cottage ate more than half of them, and there was only one roasted one left, and there was a small one, try it." ”

Xiao Qian's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the roast rabbit, then glanced at Liu Lianqing carefully, and saw that the other party nodded, before running into the kitchen to cut it.

And Liu Lianqing took the rabbit cage handed over by Tang Xidong, looked carefully at the young rabbits who were a little uneasy in the cage, and a smile appeared on her cold face.

At this moment, she is like a girl of this age.

"Thank you, Tang Gongzi." The girl put away her smile and thanked her softly, then lowered her head and teased the young rabbit.

For a while, I couldn't take care of eating, and I couldn't take care of Tang Xidong.

Tang Xidong smiled, he didn't care, in fact, he liked to see Liu Lianqing like this, he didn't need to wear a mask, and he was innocent.
