Chapter 255 Amazed
If there is heating, it will be less cold in winter, but the amount of work for heating is too large, and coal needs to be burned.

Coal is also expensive in this era, and heating will not be available for a while, so Xia Tiannuan can only be made into a kang first.

Xia Tiannuan told Grandpa Chen about the structure of the kang.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Chen really made it.

Xia Tiannuan also told Grandpa Chen that he knows this technique, and when building a house in the future, if someone wants to make a bed, he can help them do it.

It's like Grandpa Chen has an extra skill.

Grandpa Chen is very grateful to her for this.

With this technology, the artisan team led by Grandpa Chen will not be afraid of being run over locally.

I believe that many villagers will use the kang after they know the benefits of the kang.

Anyway, everyone has to cook with a fire in winter. As long as everyone cooks with a fire, the kang will heat up automatically.

If you sleep on a hot kang, it is not easy to freeze, and you only need some firewood.

After Yue Huayin understood the principle, she was full of admiration, "This kang sounds very good, and it's still very warm."

Yuehuayin felt a sense of pride at this moment.

This is something her Nuannuan researched.

……

It is said that it is moving, but in fact it is easy to pack things, just spread the mattress and arrange things.

In the evening, Xia Tiannuan called her aunt's family over for dinner.

Mrs. Chen and the others looked at the new house and were amazed.

"This house looks better than the houses of the big families in the town."

Old Mrs. Chen had been to a rich family before when she was young, and she had seen such a house, but she felt that a warm house was better.

When Mr. Chen built the house, he always sighed with Mrs. Chen when he went back.

But at that time, Mrs. Chen hadn't seen it with her own eyes, so she didn't know what it looked like.

When I saw it, I was amazed.

Especially the kang, she didn't know how hot it was when it burned.

"The Nuan girl is too powerful. We really can't think of this hot kang."

Xia Manzhi said: "The key is simplicity and convenience. You only need to burn some firewood, and the kang will be ready while cooking."

"Although our Yunzhou is not very far to the north, the winter is not as cold as the north, but the four seasons are very distinct all year round, and it is really cold in winter, especially when you come from the south. You may not be used to it."

"If there is a hot kang now, it should not be cold."

Anyway, when Xia Manzhi first came to Yunzhou, she was not used to winter and felt the cold was unbearable.

But in order to prevent Mother and the others from worrying, she never said these things when she wrote the letter back.

Xia Zhenshan said: "It's really different from when we were in the tribe. The winter in our tribe is not very cold, and the weather changes throughout the year are not very obvious."

"It feels a bit cold in Yunzhou in late autumn."

Xia Zhenshan now has to wear thick clothes when he goes out, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge.

It is easy to catch a cold if you are not careful.

Several people in the village caught cold and had to go up the mountain to pick some herbs to boil water for drinking.

Farmers live on the land. If the land is harvested well, the family conditions will be better. If the land harvest is not good, they will go hungry.

There are not many people who have some money in their hands, so there is a headache, and everyone is reluctant to spend money to see a doctor.

After a long time, everyone has also handed down some earth recipes from their ancestors.

When you have a headache and brain fever, everyone is used to using earth prescriptions to treat the body.

Not to mention, it really works.

But this is not the way, the most important thing is to keep warm.

I heard that in previous years, when the weather was very cold, some old people were weak and froze to death without cotton clothes.

If every household has a hot kang, no matter how cold the weather is on the hot kang, they will not freeze to death.

Xia Tian said warmly: "If the villagers know that hot kangs are useful and they all put on hot kangs, it will be warmer in winter."

"I'm not afraid of the snowy weather."

Mr. Chen said: "Our family has also moved the bed in the past few days, and plans to transform the sleeping place into a kang."

Xia Tiannuan drew his drawings in great detail before, and after talking to him in detail, he knew how to make a bed.

If Xia Tiannuan spoke, Mr. Chen wouldn't dare to use this technology in his own home.

"It's still warm and righteous, let me learn this technique, old man, and I can also use it on the kang."

If others know this technique, they will not teach it to others, nor will they allow others to use it.

Xia Tian said warmly: "Actually, it's nothing."

There are limits to what she can do.

Even if you want to work on the kang, you need to pay some labor money to find Grandpa Chen and the others to work.

Everyone talked and sighed.

When eating at night, you need to burn fire to cook.

When the fire is lit and the pot is boiled, the kang will be hot in a short while.

Everyone felt the heat on the kang, and they were all amazed.

"It's really hot, so warm!"

"Sleeping on such a warm kang is so comfortable in winter."

"Sitting on the edge of the kang is warm."

"The middle of the kang is the warmest and hottest."

Everyone stood on the edge of the kang and felt the heat of the kang.

Old Madam Xia was sitting on the edge of the Kang, with a smile almost overflowing from her eyes.

Mrs. Chen and Erya Chen were also amazed.

Thinking that their family will soon fix the kang, a smile appeared on their faces.

After the meal was ready, when everyone was sitting around eating, Mrs. Xia didn't see Chen Kangkang, who was Xia Manzhi's son, and asked with some doubts, "Why didn't Kangkang come?"

Xia Tian said warmly: "Mother, Grandpa Chen sent Kangkang's younger brother to Jiangbei Academy to study, and he went home once a month, so he didn't have time to come over."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes when she smiled.

"It's all thanks to Nuan girl. Now our family's conditions have improved. With money in hand, I want to let my grandson go to the academy to study."

"I was able to go to Jiangbei Academy because of Nuan girl's introduction, or because we, Nuan girl, are very good and know the dean."

Knowing that Xia Tiannuan knew the dean of Jiangbei Academy, they were all taken aback.

Dayong and Eryong went to school there, so they naturally sent Kangkang to school there too.

Although Rosin Academy has a good reputation, they believe in their own family more.

Besides, they went to see it, Jiangbei Academy looked really good, as long as they study well, there will be scholarships.

Xia Manzhi smiled and said, "We are also planning to send Erya to learn a craft."

Their Chen family does not have patriarchal ideas, boys and girls are the same.

That is, there are only schools for boys, but no schools for girls, and girls cannot enroll as officials.

Girls can only learn the craft at home.

Xia Tiannuan was slightly surprised that it would cost a lot of money for a girl to learn a craft.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, most ordinary people were not willing to spend money for girls to learn.

Unexpectedly, my aunt's family was very open-minded.

Mrs. Yang asked curiously, "What craft are you sending Erya to learn?"

Xia Manzhi said: "We inquired about it, and there is an embroiderer in the town who is very good at embroidery. I heard that she is also very knowledgeable, so I went to a girls' private school at home, where she taught literacy and embroidery. A repair fee of two hundred cash will be charged."
