Chapter 272 is fragrant and sweet
Hearing everyone's question, Lin Yang was stunned when he saw the puzzled look of the shopkeeper Wang.
Only then did he react and say, "You didn't sleep on the kang?" ”
He thought there was a kang in every room.
Mrs. Chen explained: "That's the case, the west courtyard has that kang, and Lin Gongzi moves in first, so I will use the kang for Lin Gongzi first, and the king's shopkeeper will come later, so I didn't arrange the kang." ”
"We will build another house later, we will have a few more kangs, if you like to sleep on the kang, the west yard, we will also renovate it, and put all the houses on the kang, so that the next time you come, you can sleep on the kang."
"But it's only comfortable to sleep on the kang when the weather is cold, and it's better to sleep in the bed when it's hot."
Mrs. Chen had a smile on her face as she explained.
Mrs. Chen didn't expect everyone to be so interested in Kang.
But not to mention others, even if they went to see the hot kang of the warm girl's house, it was very rare.
Sitting on the hot kang and talking, I don't want to walk.
Fortunately, the warm girl let their family learn the technique of pankang, and they can also pankang.
Now, in two or three days, the kang in their house will be dried, and they will be able to sleep on the hot kang.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen was full of smiles.
In this way, there is no fear of cold in winter.
No matter how heavy the snow is, it's not cold.
You must know that when the weather is extremely cold in winter, the walls can be frozen, and the house will feel cold when the quilt is covered.
But it's not the same with a hot kang.
She felt that with the hot kang, she was not afraid of the cold of winter.
Shopkeeper Lu arched his hand and said: "Old lady, we are very curious about this kang, I just heard Brother Lin say that it is very warm when we sleep, we have never heard of it, so we want to take a look and see it." ”
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Let's have breakfast first, and then I'll take you to have a look after breakfast." ”
Lin Yang wasn't in a hurry, anyway, he knew what was going on with the kang now.
Everyone sat down, eating pancakes and drinking soy milk.
The soybeans were given by a warm girl, and Mrs. Chen just ground soy milk with soybeans and drank it.
Lin Yang drank soy milk and ate pancakes, and felt so delicious.
In particular, soy milk has a strong sweet taste, which makes people feel warm all over the body.
"Auntie, your cooking skills are so good, the pancakes are delicious, and this soy milk is delicious."
"I've never eaten either of these things before."
Everyone sighed in their hearts, they didn't expect that in the small Yunhe Village, an old lady from a farmer's family could make such a delicacy.
It was better than all the breakfasts they had before.
Mrs. Chen was also very happy to hear everyone say that she liked to eat.
A sense of accomplishment rose in my heart.
But she knew in her heart that she was able to make these delicacies thanks to the help of the warm girl.
Pancakes, fruits, and soy milk are all taught by warm girls.
Even the soybeans used to make soy milk are also given by the warm girl.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make the food.
Everyone praised the breakfast for being delicious, and it was also true.
The pancakes alone were fruitful, and one person ate three or four.
The main thing is that it's really delicious.
I still want to eat after eating one.
Before I knew it, three or four of them were down.
In fact, these people didn't like to eat breakfast before.
I am busy with a lot of things every day, and I am not hungry when I wake up in the morning, so I don't eat much.
Even if someone prepares breakfast, they don't eat it after a few bites.
No appetite.
But eating the breakfast made by the old lady, they still want to eat it.
Breakfast alone was very filling.
I have to say that it feels very comfortable to eat a full meal in the morning.
The main thing is that the stomach is not empty.
It's warm in the stomach.
Soy milk is also sweet to drink.
The main thing is that Mrs. Chen added white sugar to it.
So it tastes sweet.
After breakfast, Mrs. Chen took the shopkeeper Wang and them to see the hot kang.
"Is this the kang, attached to the wall?"
"It's big, bigger than a bed."
Mrs. Chen said: "This kang can sleep several people at once, and when it is cold in winter, a large family can sit on the kang and cover it with a quilt and talk." ”
"In winter, when it is cold, you can also sit on the kang and do farm work, such as peeling corn kernels and peanut skins.
"Here, this is the stove, the stove is used to burn firewood, this is the pot, in the process of cooking rice, the kang will be heated ......"
Mrs. Chen explained briefly.
Everyone was amazed.
I think this stuff is really good.
They put their hands on the kang and immediately felt the heat on the kang.
"Don't say it's really hot."
"It's warm everywhere on the kang, no wonder Brother Lin said that it's warm when lying under the covers."
Mrs. Chen said: "The kang head is hotter than other places. ”
"The firewood burned last night still carries heat in the morning, and the more firewood burned, the hotter it gets."
"This is also great, in the cold area of the north in winter, if every household has a hot kang, then it is really not afraid of the cold."
"Many of the villagers would not have froze to death."
They are better, they have money at home to do business, buy a few more good quilts, buy some charcoal fires, and they can be warmer.
But in some places, the villagers can't afford to buy quilts, let alone charcoal fires.
Charcoal fires are expensive.
It was something for big families, and ordinary people were reluctant to buy it at all.
Thinking of this, the big guys fell silent.
But it's good to have a kang, there is no cost to have this kind of kang, you just need to burn some firewood.
Villages are generally built on the mountain, and there are many forests and trees, so you only need to be diligent to cut enough firewood.
After taking everyone to see the kang, Mrs. Chen took the silver and took the family's ox cart to the town.
She's going to the town to buy some meat, buy some pig's trotters, and cook something delicious at noon.
Each of them gave her a tael of silver, and that was six taels of silver.
Six taels of silver for a table of dishes can't be used at all.
It doesn't cost a tael of silver to buy meat alone, and many vegetables are still available at home.
So to buy meat and pig's trotters, Mrs. Chen is also very willing to spend money.
To make a sumptuous lunch, she only used one or two hundred yuan, and the remaining five taels of silver were purely earned.
The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more excited she became.
When she returned to the village, she went to Xia's house to buy marinated duck head and duck neck.
When Xia Tiannuan walked home, he happened to see Mrs. Chen and said, "Grandma Chen, did you buy a braised duck neck duck head?" ”
When Mrs. Chen looked at Xia Tiannuan, she immediately showed a big smile and said enthusiastically: "It's a warm girl!" ”
"Let me tell you, yesterday everyone ate the dishes made by Manzhi and said that it was delicious, and said that they would cook a meal at noon today, and everyone gave one or two silver, and six people were six taels of silver, I couldn't believe it, and my heart was a little unsteady, did you say that the collection was a bit much?"
"I'm still worried that if I say it, will it affect the business of our homestay?"
Xia Tiannuan smiled and comforted: "Grandma Chen, you can rest assured about this, those people are all businessmen who go south and north to do business, and they have seen a lot of good things, that is, when they go to a restaurant to eat, a dish may cost a few taels of silver, not to mention that the food you and your aunt cook is better than that made in the restaurant." ”
