Tao Anran nodded upon hearing this, noncommittal.But now his attention is not on the medicinal materials, but on Qu Zhishui who is holding his hands in front of him.

Seeing Miracle Doctor Qu's actions, he seemed to be afraid of the cold.But the key point is that Tao Anran feels that the current temperature is at least [-] degrees, and if he stands under the sun for a while, he can still feel the temperature is a few degrees higher.But looking at the actions of Miracle Doctor Qu, it seemed like it was only a few degrees of weather without knowing it.

Tao Anran asked curiously, "Doctor Qu, are you cold?"

Seeing the puzzled expression on Wang Hao's face, Qu Zhishui quickly said with a wry smile: "Wang Hao is laughing. This is my chills brought from my mother's womb. I have studied medicine for so many years, but I can't solve it."

Tao Anran looked at him sympathetically, "The weather is still warm now, so you only wear so many clothes. Then what will you do when it snows?"

Qu Zhishui said with a worried face: "Oh, I will only have to burn a few more charcoal basins. Every winter is the saddest time for me. Especially the cold weather in the northwest is even more difficult."

Qu Zhishui thought of the cold weather last winter, she wished she could stay in bed all the time.Thinking about it like this immediately made me feel bad.He used to spend the winter in warm places in the south, even if he was afraid of the cold, it was much better than now.If it wasn't for the treatment of King Zhenbei, he wouldn't have come to this remote northwest.Alas, the more I think about it, the more I regret it.

When Tao Anran heard this, she immediately remembered that she is now in the northwest, and this place is no different than other places.The cold weather will come earlier and last longer.There is no air-conditioning and heating here, so how can we survive the long cold winter?

Tao Anran had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Is there no kang in the palace?"

Qu Zhishui asked suspiciously, "What is a kang?"

Tao Anran didn't expect that Doctor Qu didn't know about the heated kang, so he turned to Bai Lu Hanlu for verification, and he also said that he didn't know what the heated kang was.

Facing everyone's doubts, Tao Anran came forward politely: "The heated kang is a platform made of bricks and mud, which is similar to a bed. There is a hole in the bottom, connected to a chimney, which can be used for heating. When people are on the kang Lying down, it is very comfortable, and I am not afraid of the cold at all."

Tao Anran thought of a good idea while talking.He's been resting for the past few days, and he's really bored.He kind of missed his busy life before, so he decided to find something to do for himself.

Now the first thing he has to do is to build a kang.After all, the cold weather comes as soon as it is said, so we can make the winter less difficult by making preparations first.

Tao Anran decided to find someone to set up a heated kang engineering team, specializing in repairing heated kangs.First, let Miracle Doctor Qu build a heated kang as a demonstration, and then build a heated kang for everyone in the palace.In the end, the engineering team can go out to work to repair kangs for rich people in the city, and make a little money by the way.

Tao Anran thought about it, felt that the future was bright, and almost laughed out loud.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that everyone around him was looking at him.He quickly straightened his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Lu Hanlu looked at each other, and Bai Lu said again: "Princess, is it true what you said about the kang? This person is on the kang, and the fire is under the kang. Isn't this... no... will it be cooked?"

Tao Anran was startled when he heard this, and said with a dumbfounded expression on his face: "Why do you think so? How is this possible? Well, I haven't seen the real thing now, so it doesn't make sense to you. So, let's build a kang first. , you will know when the time comes."

Qu Zhishui saw Wang Hao's confident appearance, and quickly said: "In this case, let's build a heated kang for my room first. Let me have a better life this winter."

Tao Anran nodded repeatedly, that's what he planned. "Then it's settled, Dr. Qu. I'll go back and make some preparations. I'll fix a kang for you when the time comes. By the way, you'd better choose a place near the wall to clean it up, so that you can lay bricks directly."

Qu Zhishui nodded quickly, and began to think about which wall in the room was more suitable.

After Tao Anran bid farewell to Miracle Doctor Qu, he didn't go to admire the flowers, and hurried back to Xueji Hospital.He wants to draw a blueprint first.Fortunately, I have seen how a friend's house repairs the kang before.Moreover, it is not difficult to repair the kang.

Tao Anran picked up the brush to draw a detailed drawing, but the ink in the brush was too thick to handle.Tao Anran frowned, it seemed that he had to get a quill first, otherwise the engineering drawings would not be easy to draw.

Tao Anran put down the brush, looked at Bai Lu Hanlu who was waiting at the table and asked, "Bai Lu Hanlu, are there any goose feathers in the mansion? The longest feathers on the wings are needed."

Although puzzled, Han Lu immediately replied: "Princess Wang, I have never seen a goose in the mansion, so there are no goose feathers. But there should be people raising geese in Yunzhou, so I will ask someone to get some goose feathers back."

Seeing this, Tao Anran only felt it was too troublesome.

Tao Anran: "It doesn't matter if you don't have goose feathers. If there are any big bird feathers, you can use big bird feathers instead."

Hearing this, Han Lu quickly replied: "If the princess needs the feathers of big birds, there are many in the palace. Yunzhou is still hunting, and many people go hunting in the mountains and forests every autumn. Our palace also participates every year. Sometimes when hunting big birds, some beautiful feathers will be left as souvenirs or decorations. I remember there are many beautiful feathers in the warehouse, so I asked someone to bring some over."

Tao Anran hurriedly urged: "Then bring some here quickly. By the way, I also need to prepare a pot of stone sand by the way."

After a while, Tao Anran put more than a dozen beautiful feathers on the table.He looked carefully, selected a few suitable feathers, and scraped off the excess feathers and some scales on the feathers.Then use scissors to cut a small section diagonally at the base of the feather.All you get is a rough nib.

Then there is the handling of the nib.First sharpen the nib and drill a small hole in the middle of the nib.A scratch is created between the hole and the nib for easy ink flow.

Finally, heat a pot of stone sand, insert the quill into the sand, and take it out after about a quarter of an hour. If the quill is opaque, it is considered a success.

Tao Anran worked hard with Bai Lu Han Lu for a while, and finally saw the finished product.He quickly picked up the quill pen, dipped it in the ground ink, and started writing on the paper.

At the beginning, the pen holder was too thin, and I couldn't grasp it well. Later, I wrote a few more words and got used to it, and it finally got it right.Tao Anran regained the joy of writing with a hard pen.I just carefully measured the written words, and found that the scratch on the nib seemed to be thickened, making the ink writing thicker.

Fortunately, I made several quill pens at one time, and some of them were relatively successful.

Tao Anran put down the quill, turned her head and saw Bai Lu Hanlu staring at the quill curiously.It was rare to see such expressions on the usually stable two people, Tao Anran said with a smile: "Do you want to try this quill?"

The two came back to their senses when they heard this, Bai Lu lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "Don't dare, I'll make the princess laugh. Let's take a look. It's just a moment of surprise that I didn't expect that a feather can be used as a pen. "

Tao Anran continued to laugh and said: "Didn't you all see how the feathers turned into pens just now? It's nothing unusual. And there are still a lot of free feathers. If you are interested, you can also make some quill pens for fun. Now let's start Come and try?"

Hearing this, the two were a little moved, looked at each other and quickly replied: "Thank you, Princess."

Bai Lu Hanlu picked up the quill pen to write on the paper one after another, but probably she had never been exposed to calligraphy with a hard pen, so she was a little uncomfortable.But apart from that, they also discovered the benefits of the quill.

The quill pen is more convenient than a brush for writing small and delicate characters, and the tip of the quill pen can continue to be used after a little trimming with a knife.

Seeing that they also like to use quill pens, Tao Anran gave them two for their use.They waited by their side, meticulous in everything, and tried their best to make Tao Anran's daily life more comfortable.Although it is the responsibility of servants, it is clear at a glance whether you are paying attention or not.

And since Tao Anran came here, he has spent the most time with them.Not surprisingly, the same should be true for the next few years.So these two feather pens should be regarded as my own little care.

Now that he had a suitable quill, Tao Anran immediately began to draw the engineering drawings of the kang.

Modern heated kangs are divided into southern kangs, northern kangs, and ten-thousand-character kangs according to local customs and habits.But Tao Anran doesn't pay much attention to these, and only asks for a simple and practical one.The most important thing is that he only knows the simplest method of setting fire on the kang.

He had seen this heating kang method on a trip to the north before, and later he was a little curious, so he read some information about it.Because the simplest is the best to remember, so I still remember this simple and easy-to-use method of heating a kang.

And now it just comes in handy.
