In the years of ancient traders

Young Master Sun ran away from home, and the entire Chu residence seemed to be swept by earthquake waves, and the servants all behaved with their tails tightly clamped, and they dared not even gossip.Butler Chu was the first to bear the brunt, and was scolded bloody by Mr. Chu, and he was limited to three days to bring him back to Chu Ning.

The housekeeper was in a hurry, he didn't dare to provoke the old man, so he had to ask the grandma for advice.

Chu Ning's mother is from everyone, although she is anxious, she is not out of order.Immediately, he took the maid and the housekeeper with him, and went to the street to inquire.A few days ago, they got nothing. Chu Ning's mother didn't give up, and took people to the street every day. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, a customer at the soup cake stall finally told them that Master Sun of the Chu family had worshiped Song Silang as his teacher and was an apprentice in the Song family.

Hearing this news, Chu Ning's mother finally let go of more than half of her heart.

In the early morning of the next day, she drove lightly and took a maid to Xianghe Village.

This is the second time she has visited Xianghe Village. The first time she went, she heard that Song Silang had invented a cooking technique called "stir frying". Interested, so I went to have a look.

Unexpectedly, even the father-in-law became interested in it later, and even got acquainted with Song Silang.

Her father-in-law has a high opinion of Song Silang, and she also thinks Song Shu is good, but is it good or bad for her son to follow him?Chu Ning's mother was not sure, so she decided to go and see for herself.

"What do the people in Xianghe Village dig so much mud for?"

When approaching the entrance of the village, due to the many pedestrians coming and going and the narrow road, the carriage was moving very slowly, and Chu Ning's mother heard many people outside the carriage talking.

"I heard that we will build a fire wall and a kang."

"firewall?"

"Yeah, my elder sister made it together. Her house is already under construction. I heard that the back room is as warm as spring after construction, and it's not afraid of freezing in cold weather."

"There is such a god?"

"No."

firewall.

These ordinary villagers have never heard of it, but Chu Ning's mother has.

Since the previous dynasty, the royal family has built fire walls and earth dragons in the palace to keep warm.This is a mystery of the royal family, and only the artisan families who have served the royal family for generations have this technology.

She just heard from her father that ordinary Beijing officials like them are not qualified to hire royal craftsmen to build firewalls.

How did the people of Xianghe Village know such a royal secret technique?

The carriage drove into Xianghe Village, and from a distance, beside the courtyard gate of a family, there was a pile of soil like a hill.A man came from the direction of the mountain pushing a wheelbarrow, which was carrying this kind of soil.

Going a little further, in the yard of a family, the soil was spread into a large circle, the outer circle was high, like surrounding mountains, and buckets of water were poured into the inner circle, and bundles of wheat straw were thrown down.She saw the man, daughter-in-law and children of that family jumping into the "lake" together, stomping and tumbling with their feet, mixing the soil, water and wheat straw into one.

The mud of the family opposite the door seems to have been mixed. The woman handed a wooden square frame mold to the man, and the man shoveled the mixed wet soil into the mold, filled the mold, and flattened the surface with a shovel.Then, the man squatted on a horse, turned the filled mold upside down on the ground, took a deep breath, and lifted it vigorously, leaving a rectangular mud brick in the yard.

Some people moved faster, and hundreds of mud bricks have been neatly stacked in the courtyard, and they can be used after a few days of drying.

When we arrived at the Song Family’s courtyard, there was a group of people around the door, and Song Silang’s voice came from inside: “The gas outlet of this fire wall must be built outside the house, so that the smoke can go out directly. Here, about one step away from the fire, Make a dust baffle, and only leave a small opening for hot air to flow through, so as to prevent plant ash from floating in and making it difficult to clean.”

Song Shu stood in the middle of the courtyard. While he was talking, several people beside him were laying bricks and demonstrating according to what he said.

Chu Ning's mother recognized her son at a glance.

I saw Chu Ning holding two stone slabs, pretending to be the walls of the house, and helping a few big men to make a demonstration.Song Shu also saw Grandma Chu, and he was halfway through his speech, so he had to signal her to wait with his eyes.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was getting colder, and Song Shu obviously felt that people in the village were wearing more clothes.Everyone in his house has already covered with silk quilts, and they don't feel the cold for a while, but silk quilts are limited and the price is not low, and there are always some villagers who can't cover them.

It's okay that it's autumn now, if it really hits the cold weather, it's not uncommon for a few people in this village to freeze to death.

Song Shu thought about the heated kang, but he grew up in the south, and even his grandma's house didn't use the kang.He searched almost every corner of the space, and browsed through all the materials in the hard disk, including the black history of his university wearing a country killer, and finally found an article downloaded at some time, about the firewall A treatise on the heated kang.

This kind of heated kang is designed with a fire wall about [-] cm high on the outside of the traditional heated kang. In addition to the stove connected to the kang, there is another fire wall with a fire wall outside the house.The combination of the two can not only solve the problem of uneven temperature on the kang, but also make the room warmer faster.

He studied it carefully, and the next day, he invited old man Feng and a few strong men to experiment together.

Song Shu originally made this thing for the villagers, and the first kang was chosen in the village chief's house.This was also suggested by the helpful Boss Guo and the others. First, the village chief was too old to be afraid of the cold, and second, because the village chief was of great help in the matter of household registration.

During the few days when the kang was set up for the village chief's house, the yard was never deserted.

People in Xianghe Village have already formed a habit, but it is always right to join in the fun when Song Silang is going to do something.This time was no exception. Although Song Shu didn't do much work during the kang for the village chief, he was never idle. He talked from the beginning to the end, either explaining the steps and essentials of the kang, or talking about the heated kang How warm it is in the house when it burns.

On the day when the kang was ready, the village chief's house became a treasure house. Everyone rushed to go in. It was really warm inside, and even wearing catkin clothes felt hot, and they were sweating profusely after staying for a long time.

Afterwards, those from Xianghe Village and neighboring villages who had come to watch the excitement all went to the mountain to dig up soil and prepared to build a kang for their own family.

Song Shu didn't have a kang in his own house, but only built a fire wall in each room.Some people think that the heated kang is too hard, and they want to buy a brown tied bed. Seeing Song Shu, this method is also very good.As a result, the pan-fired kangs and the fire-walls were built, and Xianghe Village was in full swing for the winter. The yards that were originally used to dry silkworms and make steamed buns were all covered with mud bricks.

Uncle Feng was invited to his home by Fuhu Zhang long ago to build a firewall for his home.

Zhang Fuhu has some ways, and vaguely heard that the royal family has the secret of building a firewall, but he didn't expect Song Silang to know this technology.He thought, when the wall of fire is built, the brown bed he ordered will be on the way, together with the newly bought silk quilt, this winter will really be like a fairy's life, and he will no longer have to endure the choking smoke from the brazier .

Seeing this posture, Chu Ning's mother was also a little moved.

Regardless of whether this is a secret of the royal family, who wouldn't want to live warmer and more comfortable in winter?Her father-in-law still has old cold legs, and the colder the weather will attack, this year her family has bought brown tied beds and silk quilts, and if a fire wall is built, the father-in-law's old cold legs will definitely be relieved a lot.

As for Chu Ning, he has been out for a long time, and he should go home when he is crazy enough.Chu Ning thought to his mother.

Who knows, Chu Ning refused straight away.

"If I don't go back, I still want to be an apprentice with Song Silang." Chu Ning said.

These days in Xianghe Village, he works from morning to night every day, not only chopping meat and mixing stuffing, but sometimes grinding flour, carrying water, chopping firewood, and doing all kinds of rough work.He is a young master whose ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and he has been worn down into a farm boy forcibly.However, the atmosphere in Xianghe Village is very good, the neighbors are friendly, and there are many people from other places. Chu Ning often talks to them, and the customs and customs in their words are all Chu Ning has never heard of.

He is happy to learn and still has money to earn.People in the village knew that he was the grandson of Mr. Chu, and they always came to him for advice on cooking and cooking. He was both an apprentice and a master.

The Song family's kang teaching was gone, and most of them came from other villages. They came here today to learn how to cook the kang, and now they are discussing going home to try it.Taking advantage of the fine weather these few days, quickly dry the mud bricks. When you have a kang, use the money you saved in the past few months to buy two silk quilts, so you don't have to suffer from the cold this winter.

After the crowd dispersed, the mother and son who were standing in a stalemate in the courtyard were particularly eye-catching, and Song Shu couldn't ignore it, and stepped forward to greet Grandma Chu.Although it was suspected that her son had been kidnapped, Chu Ning's mother respected Song Shu and immediately returned the gift.

"Master, I don't want to go." Chu Ning hid at Song Shu's side. Although Song Shu was not a few years older than him, he knew a lot. Chu Ning really regarded him as his master.

Chu Ning's mother: "Song Silang, this kid is so naughty, he left a book and left, I must take him back today."

Song Shu didn't want to participate in other people's housework at all, but Chu Ning insisted on pawing at him, but refused to face his mother directly, and kept saying not to go back.Song Shu had no choice but to say that the child had grown up and had things he wanted to do, etc., and advised Grandma Chu to go back first. Chu Ning was fine with him, and he would take good care of him and never let him lack an arm. less legs.

"Song Silang, you are too young to understand what it means to be a mother." His mother said Chu Ning.

Song Shu was embarrassed, no matter how old he was, he really didn't have the conditions to understand the heart of being a mother, so he had to laugh twice.

"Mother, don't embarrass Master, I don't want to go back." Chu Ning shouted behind him.

Chu Ning's mother: "Originally, it's okay if you don't go back. But you know that your old man will suffer from cold legs in winter, which is very tormenting. Now that you have learned the skill of building a fire wall with this fire kang, how can you not build one for him?" ?”

Chu Ning was at a loss for words. Although he had disputes with Mr. Chu, he loved and admired his grandfather very much. When his mother said this, he didn't know how to refuse, and looked at Song Shu as if asking for help.

Song Shu had no choice but to say, "Chu Ning is not a master at learning, why not call me... Shi Sanlang from our bean oil shop and a few other men went to Chu's house. They are very proficient at building fire walls."

The voice fell, and both sides were silent.

She was naturally happy that her son had such a heart to venture out. Song Silang was knowledgeable and tolerant, and he would not be disadvantaged if he followed, but the mother always hoped to see her son all the time.

"It would be great if the masters from the Soybean Oil Factory could come with me. If so, my Ning'er will trouble Song Silang a lot." Chu Ning's mother said, reaching out her hand to touch her son's face.

Song Shu: "Chu Dalang is smart and capable, why bother? I'll go and see. If Shi Sanlang and the others are free, they can go with you now."

In this way, Chu Ning finally stayed in Xianghe Village down-to-earth.

In the evening, Song Shu talked to Song Anan about this matter, Song Anan remained silent and made the bed that had just been made.Song Shu found it strange that although he rarely talked on weekdays, he still popped out a few words from time to time.Especially recently, the number of times he responded to himself has gradually increased.

Song Shu deliberately added a few more words, and Song Anan's expression was indeed a little unnatural.He remembered that Sanniang said that when Song Anan first came, he refused to say what his last name was, only that there was a Nan character in his name.

Originally, Song Shu thought his family had abandoned him, so he refused to mention it.

But his abnormality today reminded Song Shu.

Song Anan took off his coat and prepared to sleep, Song Shu rolled over, sat cross-legged on his quilt, and asked, "Be honest, did you also run away from home?"
