Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

The days passed so unhurriedly.

And Xu Wanning finally waited for the arrival of her father and brother.

The morning after the new house was built, Lin An answered the phone and hurriedly went out.

But Xu Wanning's mind was focused on the kang she had just laid out, and she didn't notice Lin An's departure.

"Is this a kang? It doesn't look as beautiful as the bed, and it's too big. Thanks to the size of your room. If it were smaller, there wouldn't be room for other furniture with such a big kang."

Xu Wanning explained: "Actually, with a kang, you don't necessarily need other furniture."

Xu Wanning pointed to the empty wall, "At that time, we can ask the carpenter to build two cabinets and build them against the wall. They can store things without taking up space."

"When I'm not sleeping during the day, I roll up all the blankets and put them in the empty space under the cupboard, and then make a small low table. The whole family can sit cross-legged on the kang to eat. It's warm and convenient."

She has seen Black Province people in the real world spend the winter like this.

"Listening to what you said, a kang is indeed more practical than a bed, but the cost is too high."

In order to ensure the strength of the kang, a lot of bricks brought from the neighboring village were used, as well as cement.

The Lin family is not short of money, so they are willing to spend dozens of dollars to build this kang.

The house didn't cost much in total to build, but the kang in each room cost several hundred.

People in the village still think it’s not a good deal.

After all, the cost of making a bed is low, and if it is not strong enough, you can still cut it for firewood.

Xu Wanning just smiled and did not answer the question.

If she told the people in the village that the money was actually not much, she might be scolded in their hearts.

"Wan Ning, we have been talking for a long time, how is this kang used? Can you open our eyes and see something today?"

"of course can."

Xu Wanning originally wanted to ask Lin An to bring some firewood, but she looked around the crowd and did not find Lin An.

"Tsuen Tsuen, have you seen your brother?"

"My brother went to the brigade headquarters to answer the phone. Sister-in-law, what do you want from him?"

"I want him to bring me some firewood so I can burn the kang."

"Hey, we've just done this. Where are the firewood piled? I'll go and bring some over."

Soon, firewood came over.

Xu Wanning successfully burned the kang according to the method of burning the kang that she found on the computer.

"It's not warm here either. It's not as warm as a brazier."

"That's right, and this kang is so big, I'll probably use a lot of firewood a day. With all this firewood, I might as well build a few more braziers."

Xu Wanning didn't explain, she just waited patiently.

The kang is so big, and the room is also big. If you want the heat to come up, you have to wait at least for a while.

Unable to keep everyone waiting, Xu Wanning asked Lin Quan to grab some melon seeds and peanuts. Everyone had something to eat, so they were reluctant to leave.

After a long half hour passed, someone suddenly screamed.

"What's going on?"

"A big bug bit my butt, it hurts so much."

"It's freezing cold here. I've eaten all the bugs and hid to keep warm. Why would I bite you when I have nothing to do?"

"I'm not lying, I was really bitten and it hurt like hell."

Hearing this, Xu Wanning reached out and touched the kang.

The temperature has completely risen.

But now only the kang is warm. It will probably take a while before the whole room can be warmed.

"You touch the kang, is it already warm?"

Some curious people put their hands on it and let out an ouch.

"Don't tell me, it's really warm. I just don't know what it feels like to sleep on it."

Because the kang was newly installed and Xu Wanning hadn't had time to make a mattress yet, the kang was bare, so she didn't mind everyone trying it out.

"You can lie on it and try it, but to ensure you don't get burned, be sure not to take off your clothes."

After the person who asked the question got Su Huan's consent, he immediately lay down.

"It's comfortable. It's so comfortable. Come and try it."

Such a large kang is enough to accommodate a dozen adults lying side by side.

Xu Wanning didn't pay attention, and there were already more than ten people lying on the kang.

"I have to take back what I said about the Kang. It's too comfortable. I've never felt so comfortable since the beginning of winter. My whole body is warm."

He even wanted to go outside and grab a bite of snow to eat.

Xu Wanning smiled and then said to the captain: "Captain, you can try it too. If the effect is good, you can report it to the commune and let everyone sit on the bed at home."

The captain gave it a try and found that the kang was indeed as good as Xu Wanning said, but it also had many disadvantages.

"It's too expensive. One kang costs about ten yuan. Not many families in the village can afford this kind of money."

Even if the family has these savings, it is impossible to use them all to make a bed.

Although it is indeed comfortable to sleep on the kang, having a kang will make winter easier.

But compared to sleeping comfortably, eating well is the most important thing.

"In order to save trouble, I bought whole bricks, but the brick factory had a lot of broken bricks, which would definitely not be used to build a house, but those with good craftsmanship can use broken bricks to build houses. Get up a kang. If that doesn't work, use adobe bricks first."

"Although the kang made of adobe bricks has a short lifespan, the cost of adobe bricks is low. At worst, we can just put it back next year. We should get through this winter first."

Hearing what Xu Wanning said, someone was already ready to make a move.

The broken bricks from the brick factory are very cheap, and you can haul a large cart away for just a few cents.

The rooms in their house are not as big as Xu Wanning's house. Accordingly, they use fewer bricks. One cart of bricks can cover two kangs. If the family's conditions are slightly worse, two families can share one cart.

If that doesn't work, use adobe bricks.

Although rammed earth bricks are a bit tiring, they save money.

And the people who make the kang are all from the village. They don't need to pay for the work, and they can just wait until their family has something to do to help.

Calculating it this way, it really doesn’t cost much to make a bed.

At least this money is within the reach of most people in the village.

"Wan Ning, are you willing to contribute to this method of making a bed?"

"Why not?" Xu Wanning said: "We usually live in Beijing, and we can't live in Dajiang Village for a few days all year round. The main purpose of me wanting to bring out the kang is to let everyone take a look and understand the benefits of the kang. This way everyone can have a comfortable New Year."

Fortunately, the kang was successfully laid out in one try.

Moreover, people in the village are not all stubborn, and they have no objection to the Pan Kang matter.

While talking, the temperature in the room gradually increased.

Although it was not warm enough to take off the cotton-padded jacket, it was not so cold that the whole body was stiff and could only rely on the brazier to keep warm.
