The twenty-first day of the crossing

Since the Su family used the kang, the people in the village were amazed and excited. At the beginning, when the Su family was digging the soil, the people in the village still felt that these scholars were idle, but now they know that the readers are the readers, and their brains are bright.

At first, the village chief came to take a look, touched it with his hand, as if looking at some treasure, and turned back three times when he left, and then it was Aunt Qian, the daughter-in-law of the village chief. Later, the whole village went out, and all of them came to Su's house one after another to see and see. But no one asked how to do it.

A few days later, Wang Dashi in the village had a red face and ran to Qingling's house to open his mouth.

"I, I want to have a kang like you in my house. You see how much it costs, I'll give it, if it's not enough, I'll come to work here next year. ”

There were a few other young men from the village on the side, who seemed to have come together to cheer him on. They all looked at Su Jingyun and them nervously.

The Su family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Every day, the people in the village have been looking at it with longing eyes, and the people of the Su family have also seen the world, and they are uncomfortable for a while.

"Yes, I don't want your money, I'll tell you how to do it, and you can go to the plate yourself when you want it. The rest of the village is the same. It's just that let's not spread the word yet. Su Jingyun finally said what he had been holding back for a long time.

As soon as they heard this, several young men on the side, together with Wang Dashi, asked in disbelief: "Really, really teach us." ”

Seeing Su Jingyun nodding, his excited face was red and a little guilty.

Their family really needs this kang, and some of them want the elderly who love them to spend this cold winter safely. The old father of Wang Dashi's family was very tired when he was young, and now that he is old, his body is much weaker than ordinary people. He wanted his father to live a few more years and enjoy himself. Some have just become fathers for a long time, and some children who can't speak have survived smoothly and called them Daddy.

The winter of the Jiaqing Dynasty was very cold, and people did not have any special warm clothes, shoes and socks. The asking price of cotton is extremely high, and few ordinary people can afford it. Because of the wrong planting method, the yield of cotton is very low, and the supply cannot be supplied. Only eunuchs or wealthy families can use it.

Therefore, most of the cotton clothes people wear are made of kapok to fill the garment, the kapok fiber is coarse, the texture is hard, and the warmth effect is poor. Freezing is inevitable. That's why so many children and the elderly die in the winter. Large families can also find some fur to make fur to protect against the cold. But ordinary people don't have this condition, so it's good to have a few more clothes.

The eyes of these eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys were red all of a sudden. They all thanked Su Jingyun sincerely, and Su Jingyun talked back to them, so he asked them to dig the soil first, and then come to him after digging, and he taught them how to beat the soil embryo and pan the kang together.

Su Jingyun's brothers went out with a group of people to dig a cart of mud and came back, and then vacated a room at Wang Dashi's house for them to take off the adobe there. There is no way, it is too cold outside, and as soon as the adobe comes out, I don't know when it will be dry. I can only take it off in the house, burn it on the brazier and roast it slowly.

The adobe does not need to be dried until it is very dry, it can almost be fixed, and after it is built into a fire, it is baked on a low fire in the kang, which is much faster than natural drying. The Su family did this when they were making a kang in their own house before, three rooms and a grass shed, a total of four kang dishes, and the brothers of the Su family are out of Su Jingchen and the others are now more experienced.

Wang Dashi's first kang is in the big house of hospitality, the place is quite big, the kang is also big enough, a group of big men sit in groups, sit in seven or eight or so, it is not a problem at all, and there are two small tables in the middle. It's all alive.

After the plate is finished, a group of people are like chicken blood, this thing is actually not difficult, the men in the village can master it in a few clicks, and occasionally ask a few more questions, and it will be no problem at all.

It was late at night, and everyone in Nanshan Village was still working overtime to dig the soil, looking forward to making it available to their own families. Let the cold and lonely night be lively. Thinking about it for a period of time in the future, Nanshan Village will be tossed

Slowly, everyone got started, and after a few days, every family in Nanshan Village used the kang. There was a lot of laughter in the village for a while, but a small hill to the west was bulldozed. Because of this fire kang, the Su family quickly integrated into Nanshang Village, and the people in the village were enthusiastic, knowing that they had a good family background before, and many people couldn't live. Always offer to help them.

The Qi and Yang clans also quickly dealt with the women in the village. Now I won't come to ask Qingling for everything, just ask in this circle of friends, and everyone will teach you enthusiastically and carefully. With the help of these family heroes, the life of the Su family's big house and four rooms is slowly on the right track.

And the couple Su Jingchen and the Lin family who are more worried, yo, people don't have to worry. Although Lin can't work, he only likes to recite poetry and dress up. But she is not stupid, now it is not the same as in the past, she has found a new way, made friends with five or six unmarried girls in the village, and has time to guide these girls in embroidery, teach them how to dress and how to take care of their skin.

These girls can do anything at home, and on the contrary, they also teach Lin some simple and effortless dishes, and these girls sometimes come to the door to help Lin clean up the yard. In their eyes, this is not a job, and it will be done in a few moments.

Now the Lin family's yard is well organized, and they have planted some sulforaphane. Lin reciprocated the favor, and would also send some handkerchiefs embroidered by himself and silk flowers to these girls. It's also good, both sides are happy.

Of course, the happiest person is Su Jingchen, he has finally been liberated from the kitchen, and now his wife has learned to cook, although the taste is average, there are only a few things to do. But it's also better than making it yourself. And the most important thing is the heart of the lady. Every day, Su Jingchen has to praise his wife several times when he is free. The two husbands and wives were happy to show their affection.

So only Su Yunqi was unhappy in the family for a while, and rolled his eyes at the speechless father. Continue to run to the third uncle's house every day.

Hmph, go to Yunxi and Yunyuan to play, and you can also eat delicious food made by the third aunt.

For a while, a few families have a good time.

They had discussed the matter of the soil kang before, and in particular, they also asked Qingling's opinion. After all, Qingling came up with it. Qingling had no way to explain the source of this kang, so she had to default to coming up with it herself.

Everyone has never thought that it will be used to make profits, one is that the technical content of this thing is not high, and if you think about it for a while, you can figure it out, and the price is too low. And there is one of the most important reasons, this thing is good for the people, it is more attractive to officials, and it will be a big achievement when it is done well.

They were exiled, and they still had the task of clearing the wasteland, which was a headache for several of them, and it might be possible to solve this problem now.

The weather was not bad on this day, and the Su Jingyun brothers planned to discuss it with the village chief, and now that this fire kang has been tested in a village, it should be very convincing to come and go to the government to offer advice.

was blocked at the door before he went out, and Wang Dashi's father blushed and pushed this Wang Dashi over.

"You fool, give the eggs to Third Brother Su." As soon as he finished saying to his son, he turned to Su Jingyun and said: "This is going out, this is the egg laid by the chicken that my family wants, the old man, I saved up for a while, and took it for a few children in the family to eat, and the children eat a long time" After speaking, he stuffed a basket of eggs to Su Jingyun, and left without waiting for Su Jingyun to say anything.

Su Jingyun's heart felt warm. Doing good deeds always warms people's hearts. During this time, the people of the village often sent them that in order to thank them. It made the Su family a little embarrassed.

Su Jingyun turned around and put the eggs away, and greeted Qingling. So I went to the village chief, discussed it, and dedicated the production method of this clay kang to the prefectural order. Let the government popularize it, so that more people can benefit.

The village chief is indispensable here. When the village chief heard this, this was a good thing, he could help more people, and he could show his face to the government for a while. Without saying a word, he patted his chest and agreed.

Winter is coming, and the north wind is howling. This year, people are not so afraid of winter, those who are old still want to take care of their children for a few more years, and those who have just become mothers do not have to worry.

Now all the people in the county are on the kang.

The old people in the family have been frozen for decades, and their legs and feet are not good when they are old, so they can only endure it before, but now they are baked by the heat on this kang, not to mention how good the taste is. What's even more beautiful is watching the grandson crawling around on the kang. It's not a loss to be alive.

On the one hand, the daughters-in-law and hostesses of the family sat on the kang tail to make shoes, and at the same time they were worried about the head of the family who went to work in the city. I wondered what to add to the house when the head of the house came back.

Since the Su family gave the method of pankang to the county order, every household in the city has begun to pankang. Such a good thing, a fool doesn't need it.

Those who have money spend some money, and those who don't have money go to the family to dig and beat the soil embryos. Many people in the village went to work in the city. In the past few days, in Pingyang City, this load of yellow mud can be exchanged for a liter of rice, and if you are a good person on the kang plate, you can also earn more than a dozen copper plates.

But it's better for us in Nanshan Village, we actually use good things before the people in the city. Speaking of which, I have to thank the Su family, this family is smart and has a good heart. When the head of the family comes back, you can quickly urge him to send the things he received in one copy.

This originally slightly deserted county town is also very lively these days, and you can see the porters carrying the burden of yellow mud walking through the streets and alleys. Families are tinkling. They are all looking forward to hurrying up to the kang.

These days, in Sanfeng County, there is no shortage of work in winter, and the people of Nanshan Village are the most popular. Their craftsmanship is the best.

Others who didn't have that skill had to be porters and help carry mud. You don't need to be tired, it's just a few more steps. You can earn some food, you can earn a few copper plates when you are lucky, and listen to the crisp impact sound of copper plates, such a good thing has never happened before, and at this time it is even more out of the nest.

Some time ago, Su Jinglan and Su Jingyun drank together, and the village chief ran back and forth several times, and took the errand and the master to see the soil kang. That's how it got done. Now the earthen kang is spreading rapidly throughout Wusu Province.

The Su family got some benefits from offering kang. Ahem, it's a reward. This reward was given a hundred taels, and there was also the previous task of the Su family's wasteland, each adult man asked for fifty acres, and he was directly exempted, but he could not return to Beijing, and he could not leave at will without amnesty.

The brothers of the Su family were already very happy. Otherwise, they want to complete this task like this for a group of people who have never farmed before. You must know that this reclamation of wasteland is a means of punishment, and it cannot be done by paying for someone to do it.

It's just that you have a good job, and it's not easy to hire people for a while if you have money, but here is notoriously sparsely populated, and there is a shortage of people. When you cultivate, people will also be busy with their own land.

Here, after Su Jingyun returned home. gave Qingling a detailed account of the things in the county.

Qingling also listened patiently, and asked Su Jingyun if she had any doubts. After discussing how to divide the one hundred taels of silver, Qingling said that she would let Su Jingyun arrange it casually. This is also a habit that Su Jingyun has developed for Qingling, and he will always tell Qingling about things he encounters outside. At the beginning, Qingling only listened, and slowly encountered doubts and would ask. At the same time, I will also ask Qingling what she is doing at home.

Subtly, when Qingling didn't find out, Qingling would tell Su Jingyun what she had done, and if Qingling wanted to do something, she would slowly discuss it with Su Jingyun. It's no longer a word of inform.

The relationship between the two became closer.

This is also Su Jingyun's cunning, he found that Qingling has changed a lot, she is more cold than before, and she doesn't value him as a husband more and more. He pondered and put on a good show.

This time, Su Jingyun wanted to divide the money into five parts, they took two shares here, and the other eldest brothers, the second brother and the fourth brother each had one share.

Now they are the first to solve the problem of reclamation. Second, after this incident, they integrated into Nanshan Village, and even had a certain prestige, and their voice was much greater. Third, I have gained the favor of the county order, and I have made friends with the officials in the county government, so it will be much more convenient to exchange news in the future.

As far as the benefits of the Su family are concerned, Hong County Ling is even happier here. With this fire kang, the number of people freezing to death this winter will definitely be greatly reduced, and he dedicated this method to the prefect before, and the prefect also handed it over.

Two days ago, the prefect replied, but the prefect praised him well, and also hinted that he would definitely be promoted by one liter when he was evaluated next year.

After reading the letter, Hong County's order also returned home happily. When I walked into the house, I saw such a scene, his father was taking his two old friends, lying horizontally on their newly plated big kang, the warmest position of the kang head, and it was his father who was lying down.

"Oh, it's warm. This ondol is such a good thing."

"This old bone can finally stretch and stretch, I don't know who came up with it. I heard that it came from Nanshan Village."

"Oops... Comfort..., my stupid son, is slow to do anything. I can't please come personally, so I finally got it today, otherwise he wouldn't have to come back."

It's no wonder that these old men are exaggerated, and even their sons complain. The cold conditions in this era were really rudimentary.

Those rich families who can sleep with fur piles are not so comfortable, let alone ordinary people's homes.

He, the son who became the county commander, put a kang on his father's plate, and his father saw him pleasing to the eye, and recently asked these two uncles to show off. Looking at the old child's father, Lord Hong also felt like he was drinking honey in his heart.

In the next few days, the sky was beautiful, Wang Dashi and they entered the city on this day there was no wind and snow, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, far and near were a piece of white, the snow on the road was frozen last night, and the temperature was low during the day, and it did not melt at this time.

Wang Dashi was sitting on the ox cart in dark blue clothes, but his ears were frozen as if they were about to fall off when they were blown by the small wind. But his heart was full of expectations.

There are also Lin Yong, Tian Jiaxing, and Liu Dalang sitting next to the ox cart, and Tian Yong, Tian Jiaxing, and Liu Dalang have a good relationship.

Now there are people in their village who have gone farther, but several of them are worried about their families and don't want to go that far. However, people who have gone far away say that they earn more, and they are also envious.

It's really not good, they will go farther next year, anyway, this year's Sanfeng County is almost the same. Go farther to Pingyang City, although you are tired, you can earn a lot, you can buy a dress for your mother-in-law to wear. Buy more candy for the little cubs at home, sweet mouth. It's going to get better and better.
