Chapter Ninety-Three: Open the Stove and Open the Pot
Xia Lan looked at the drawings in the left hand of the county lord, and the green brick in his right hand was busy in the small kitchen of Zhige Courtyard, and he couldn't intervene with the handkerchief to wipe his sweat!
Masons waiting, you look at me, I look at you.
How excited they were when they were brought into the General's Palace, and how scared they are now.
The housekeeper who brought them in said that he only needed their help to make something called a 'stove', but they couldn't understand the drawings of this 'stove'.
And the noble man in front of him, who was busy with his work, was obviously a master who liked to do it himself, so he rolled up his sleeves directly, tied up the hem of his clothes and started to build the stove by himself!
They can only be on the sidelines according to the instructions of the nobles, helping with mud or handing over a green brick or something!
If the housekeeper who brought them in knew, if he didn't mention the salary, he would be able to pay them, and if he would be charged with disrespect, he would be really dumb and can't talk about his suffering.
Yun Yi didn't know what the masons were muttering in their hearts, but since following Gufu and them to build improved crossbows little by little, she had discovered the joy of handicraft.
Early this morning, Pei Fu, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion who was dragged by her, took the mason he found to the Zhige Courtyard.
After the craftsman handed it over to Yun Yi, Pei Fu bowed down and went to work, she had been in the General's Mansion for almost two months, and the General's Mansion also knew a lot about Yun Yi's character.
This is a Lord who likes to be at ease, and in short, he is very good at serving.
So after handing over the person to Yun Yi, Pei Fu didn't stay aside, Yun Yi didn't like to trouble others, and he was really busy.
Xia Lan was really overwhelmed by the side, and couldn't help but grab Yun Yi's muddy right hand, and said distressedly: "Why does the county lord not take care of his body so much, you are still sick, what to do, you just tell them directly, otherwise go back and let Steward Pei know, they may not have good fruits to eat." โ
When the masons heard this, they nodded vigorously on the side, as if they were afraid that if their movements were small and slow, the noble man would not be able to see them.
When Yun saw it, he couldn't help but worry about their necks.
But seeing that they were really panicked, Yun She didn't want to embarrass them, just on a whim, she couldn't help but start directly.
After all, in the past, in modern times, she watched a variety show of pastoral life, in which the guests made the stove with their bare hands, she was deeply impressed and eager to try.
It's a pity that in modern times, how can there be a place to build a stove for her, even if she can barely build it, she doesn't have firewood, and she can't start a fire?!
Otherwise, within minutes, the property can call a fire truck to clean her home.
So according to the drawings of the stove she saw when she was searching, and then according to the actual force and the position of the smoke pipe, she made some detailed modifications, and then roughly drew the appearance of the stove by herself.
As a result, when the masons came, they said they couldn't read the drawings!
God, the craftsmen who studied in ancient times can be described as rare, and Gu Fu is one of them.
Obviously, these people have never studied at all, and their skills are all inherited from their families or learned from their teachers.
After Yun Yi taught them to lay the pedestal, at the chimney, the other party didn't understand what she meant.
There was no way, she could only get started by herself, to make a rough shape of the chimney, she didn't plan to do it to the end, seeing Xia Lan speak, the masons looked frightened, so she also threw away her hand and taught them what to do next.
Fortunately, the rest is a very simple job, and they did it very smoothly.

Yun Yi looked at the stove in front of him with satisfaction, after three days, the stove had been dried repeatedly, so today was her, oh no, it was the day she commanded Xia Lan to open the stove.
Forgive her, she has really seen how to operate this earthen stove, but no one has ever operated it herself.
Fortunately, Xia Lan has helped her mother move around the kitchen since she was a child, although the previous hanging stove has been changed to such a strangely shaped stove, but where the firewood is burned, where the smoke comes from, and how hot the pot will be, the county lord has explained to her in detail one by one.
Then it's time to turn on the stove and turn on the pot!
Yes, that's right, boil the pot!
The newly bought iron pot needs to be boiled.
Otherwise, it will not be durable, and it is easy to stick to the pan when stir-frying.
Yun Yi was a loyal fan and audience of China on the tip of the tongue back then!
The subordinates of the Zhige Courtyard all gathered outside the small kitchen and looked in curiously. If the general was in the palace, they might not have the courage to do so.
Although the general has a gentle personality, he doesn't like people to go too far, you can accidentally make mistakes, but you have to follow the rules.
But the county lord is different, she doesn't seem to treat everyone as subordinates, the county lord will thank her softly for bringing her a basin of washing water, and will also return a half-salute after they salute.
She often said that they were not her subordinates, so there was no primary and secondary relationship with her, and their hard work was already extra work for her.
Although she is said to be the guest of their general, the guest is not the host after all, so I am very grateful to them for taking care of her during this time.
He also told them privately that outside the Zhige Courtyard, they needed to abide by the rules of the General's Mansion, but in the Zhige Courtyard, as long as she lived here, the object they needed to serve was her, so they didn't have to be so careful.
Slowly, everyone found out that the county lord was really as she said, never needed anyone to sleep in the cubicle after resting at night, and occasionally went to wash his face in the morning.
If the maidservants went to grab the job, she would point to herself and smile and say that they had raised her limbs and were not diligent, and she would continue to travel when the time came, what should she do if she was not used to it?
They chattered around the small kitchen, watching the county lord standing three or four steps away from the strangely shaped stove, and while sticking out their heads to look, they commanded to Sister Xia Lan: "Hey, don't worry, don't worry, there is less firewood, the fire is too strong!" โ
When Pei Yu came, he saw that a room full of people didn't know where they went, but they only heard bursts of exclamations from the east corner of Zhige Courtyard.
When he got closer, he saw that the servants of the entire Zhige courtyard were all gathered outside the door of the small kitchen, chattering and making noise.
And there was a fragrance wafting everywhere in the courtyard that he had never smelled again, and if he asked Yun Yi at this time, Yun Yi would definitely proudly tell him that it was the smell of lard.
And Yun Yi was in the small kitchen at this time, stuffing lard residue into his mouth one by one.
On the side, Dr. An, who followed the fragrance, followed the fragrance, and the two of them ate with their mouths full of oil, looking like little mice that had fallen into the oil jar.
Xia Lan waved a pair of foot-long chopsticks on the side, and kept fishing out, and the crispy and golden lard residue that had been fried.
