Chapter 21: The Stove

After lunch, Shen Jingbai took the initiative to share the housework and washed the dishes and pots used in the afternoon. Only then did we begin to unhurriedly process the dandelions, honeysuckle, indigo and purslane, which were picked in the morning.

Under the leadership of Wang Kefu, the two went to the river to clean the medicinal herbs. "Yu River" is the only river in the local area, which flows continuously all year round, and there is a huge flow of living water. A section of the river with gentle water flow, less sediment and high water quality was selected, and the treated medicinal materials were cleaned one by one and drained in a bamboo basket containing medicinal materials.

Shen Jingbai begged Wang Kefu to make her a simple stove in the courtyard. The two "ears" of the large porcelain vase are threaded with hemp rope, two smooth-polished Y-shaped branches are chiseled deep into the earth, and another wooden stick of uniform thickness is placed on the Y-shaped branches, and the large porcelain basin through the "ear holes" is firmly tied to it. That's the top half of the cooktop.

The shopkeeper who sold porcelain had a lively mind, and saw that Shen Jingbai bought more than a dozen porcelains of different sizes, and by the way, he gave her all the porcelain of different shapes and sizes that had been burned in the yard as gifts.

Among them, there is an oval cylinder, both ends are sealed with slightly larger porcelain blocks, and the rare mortise and tenon structure is used, and Shen Jingbai uses ingenuity to easily remove the "hijab" at both ends.

Measuring upwards near the closed end port, about the distance of a palm or so, several porcelain strips of uniform thickness were laid horizontally, and the gap between each porcelain strip was quite even. What's even more surprising is that the distance between the closed bottom end and the porcelain bar is just right, and a small round hole is opened in the middle of the two, and a round porcelain of just the right size is stuffed into the hole, and the mortise and tenon structure is still used.

In terms of structure and assembly, it is very rare for this cylinder to adopt a mortise and tenon structure in several places, and it can be said that this construction method is used to the extreme.

Shen Jingbai had a quick move, removed the lid of the three round holes, and used it as a stove that was not completely closed, which was the lower part of the stove.
