Group pet small peasant girls: Escape the famine with the space of merit

Chapter 83 Snow Disaster
83
With the warm and customized iron scraper, the villagers can get twice the result with half the effort to clean up the snow.

Regardless of the fact that the snow was not falling heavily, all the snow was cleared out, and the ditches they dug were almost filled.

There is no sign of the snow stopping, and the snow will only increase. Without the sun, the snow cannot melt by itself.

It is impossible to melt snow with salt. After thinking about it, Nuan Nuan proposed an idea to the old village head, and sent several villagers to the riverbed beside Well No. 1 to pick up a lot of pebbles, and then burned the pebbles with fire. After boiling the soup, pour it into the ditch, and turn the snow into water and discharge it out of the village.

Watching the snow in the ditch melt into water and flow out, the villagers were ecstatic: "This method really works!"

It's just a bit of a waste of firewood.

Fortunately, they were well-prepared, and they still had firewood to melt the snow once a day.

In the evening, when Wen Xingye and Erlang returned home, their shoes and socks were soaked, and their hands were red from the cold.

Luo told them to quickly change out their wet shoes and socks, and drink a bowl of ginger soup each.

Wen Nuan took ointment from the space and asked them to apply it on their red hands and feet to prevent frostbite.

At this time, she suddenly remembered the wild boars and tigers that had not been dealt with in the space.

If the action leather can be made into boots, you won't be afraid of soaking your feet in snow water.

Wen Nuan took two bottles of ointment from the space and handed them to Wu Lang, and asked him to deliver them to the uncles and uncles, and then asked his mother: "Mother, do we have clothes that are rotten and can't be worn anymore? If you have any, take them out." , let's sew warm gloves for Dad and the others."

The tiger skin and wild boar skin are not treated at the moment and cannot be used. They can only be sewn with cloth first, which is much better than nothing at all.

That night, Luo called the two sisters-in-law over, and they all sewed gloves for the men in the family under the oil lamp.

Early the next morning, the sisters-in-law taught other women in the village how to sew gloves, and asked them to help their men sew them too.

Households that are more affluent and have extra fabric, such as the Wen family, even women and children wear a pair of clothes.

Even Zeng Bin got a double-double because he was also helping to clear the snow and needed a double-double replacement.

With this glove, the folks work harder and harder.

"I didn't know that gloves could be sewed like this before!" A villager who had been to work in the Northland moved his gloved fingers in amazement: "In the Northland, the masters of rich people always wear a handcage. s things……"

The villager was worried that people who had never been to the Northland would not know what a "hand cage" was, and explained: it is a cylinder made of cloth or leather with two ends and two ends, filled with cotton and filled with cotton, and when it is cold, put it directly Gloves go in to keep warm.

"At that time, if I knew that there were gloves that could be sewed with coarse cloth, and the fingers could move without getting in the way of work, I would have asked someone to sew a few pairs for me."

Hearing this, Nuan Nuan tried hard to search the original owner's memory, only to find that there were no gloves in this dynasty, only the hand furnace and the hand cage that this fellow said!
The snow didn't show signs of stopping even after seven or eight days. Fortunately, it wasn't a blizzard, otherwise the village would have to be rebuilt again.

In such a snowy day, apart from clearing the snow, the villagers hide on their kangs to keep warm.

At this time, the whole village was rejoicing that when they saw that the Wen family had made the kang, they thought it was convenient and followed suit. Otherwise, the whole family would have been frozen to death in this kind of horrible weather.

On this day, the three members of Wen's family gathered in Wen Xingye's living room to chat about family affairs. Zeng Bin was also there. There were charcoal stoves in the four corners of the room, so it wasn't too cold.

The whole family is discussing how to avoid it if the snow falls more and more.

After expressing their opinions, everyone turned their attention to Wen Nuan.

From the perspective of the whole family, Nuan Nuan ran outside with his grandfather, and was well-informed to propose preventive measures when it snowed lightly, allowing the villagers to avoid disasters again.

Nuan Nuan said helplessly: "If there is a snowstorm, I can't help it."

She is not a god. Under such limited conditions, how can she lead the villagers to avoid danger every time?
The family was talking when there was a knock on the door outside.

"It seems to be shopkeeper Wu!" Sanlang got up and went out.

"Slow down." The old lady was worried about Saburo's injuries.

The person who came was indeed Wu Zikuan. He was holding an oil umbrella, and his body was still covered with snowflakes.

Before entering the living room, he shook off the snowflakes on his body before putting his umbrella in.

As soon as he entered the living room, Wu Zikuan shivered: "It's so warm."

"Shopkeeper Wu, why did you come here in the snow?"

Erlang poured a bowl of hot water for Wu Zikuan, Wu Zikuan took two sips, held the bowl in his hand to warm up for a while, and then regained consciousness in his numb fingers.

"Something went wrong." Wu Zikuan said and drank two more sips of hot water: "The houses in several villages outside the southern city of Anping County were collapsed by the snow, and many ordinary people died."

As soon as he heard the news, he hurried to Xinqing'ao Village, fearing that Xinqing'ao Village would encounter the same situation. He didn't feel relieved until he saw that the houses in Xinqing'ao Village were in good condition.

To the members of the Wen family, this news can be said to be unexpected, or it can be said to be expected.

Nuan frowned: "What's the situation in other surrounding counties?"

"I heard that many houses in Licheng and Qushui City were also collapsed by the snow, but there were basically no casualties."

The snow is not heavy, but it has been falling for too long, and some thatched houses without beams can't stand it at all.

At this moment, Erlang asked, "Shopkeeper Wu, where is Miancheng, do you know what's going on?"

Wen Nuan knew that his brother was worried about the villagers of Nuanyang Village: "Brother, the houses in Nuanyang Village are all stone houses, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

The old lady sighed sympathetically: "Natural disasters follow one after another, when will it end?"

"Shopkeeper Wu, are you okay in the city?" Wen Nuan asked again: "And what about your house and shop?"

"With the iron scraper you gave us, and the shop has hired someone to help clean the hall, how can something happen?" Speaking of the iron scraper, Wu Zi, the shopkeeper, became excited again: "Nuan Nuan, you don't know, this For a few days, the iron shop in the city was very busy, and the common people in the city saw that the iron scraper was easy to use, so they all went to the iron shop to order iron scrapers."

In fact, Wen Nuan not only customized the iron scraper for cleaning the snow on the roof, but also a large scraper with a much larger size, which is used to clean the ground.

This big scraper was customized by Wenwen, and it required the cooperation of several people to push the snow on the ground. The efficiency was very high, and now there was almost no snow in every alley in the village.

Wu Zikuan came out in a hurry and didn't have much clothes on. When he returned, Mrs. Luo took Wen Xingye's robe and put it on for him, and asked Erlang to drive him to the gate of the city.

Not long after Erlang returned from the city, Huang Ping also came to the village.

Seeing that Xinqing'ao Village was peaceful, Huang Ping didn't know whether to be surprised or thankful.

The Wen family is fine, and my adults still have a place to speak in front of the prefect.
