The fact that Lin Xiaoman’s family’s kang was hot and easy to burn quickly spread in the village. The next day, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu got up early to go to the wholesale market there to buy good things, and when they came back, they heard a knock on the door outside. Gotta snap.

Seeing that the sky had just dawned, people outside had been knocking for an unknown amount of time, so Lin Xiaoman could only ask Lin Erhu to open the door, and a group of people rushed in, leaving and coming again.

When the cart came over to pull things, he was also surprised by the people in the yard, "Xiao Man, there are so many people in your house? Are they all here to see Kang?"

"That's right, do you want to set up the kang at Uncle Shi's house? If so, I'll tell the patriarch to set up the kang at Uncle Shi's house first."

"That's kind, uncle, thank you Xiaoman first."

"Uncle Ba Shi has helped me a lot, why are you being polite to me?"

Go into the house and let the cart handle the things that are going to be sent to the city today, except for the hot pot restaurant, and the cream that the shopkeeper asked for.Let shopkeeper Feng put the money on the account first, and then settle the account when she goes to the city next time.

After that, another group of people came to the door. Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu locked the door of the room they lived in, and all the people who came would go to the room where no one lived.

Whoever came asked them to burn a handful of firewood, and Lin Xiaoman did not refuse, but each time the firewood added was not much, as long as the kang was slightly warm.

Today's weather is not so cold that it is necessary to burn the kang to keep warm, and the people here have never felt the heat of the kang. They enter the house for a while and then leave sweating.

But even so, everyone has also seen the benefits of kang. In winter, even if there are more than a dozen braziers in the house, it may not be so warm.Everyone told Lin Xiaoman that they wanted to live on the kang at home.

Lin Xiaoman smiled: "I have made an agreement with Uncle Daqiang, this matter is up to his arrangement."

After hearing the words, everyone thought of going to Lin Daqiang as soon as possible, otherwise everyone would have to go to bed, and it would be cold when it was their turn.
Lin Daqiang didn't go to the county seat today, but when he came back last night, he heard Lin Youwang talk about Lin Xiaoman's family's uprooted Kang. It's rare that his calm and stable father was so excited.

Lin Daqiang also wanted to come to Lin Xiaoman's house early to have a look.But Lin Youwang told Lin Youwang what Lin Xiaoman told him yesterday: "Xiaoman said he wants the edge of the kang, which is a long wooden strip that has been polished smoother, about this thick."

Lin Youwang compared the thickness of the edge of a kang with both hands, "There are also kang boards for the kang. I think that once Xiaoman's kang spreads, there will be many people in the village and outside who want a kang. When it’s done, it’s time to dry it, and you have to find someone to make the edges and boards of the kang first.”

"Okay, I'm going to find someone to do it."

His father's eyes were unique, and he had to listen to what he said. Lin Daqiang was not in a hurry to come to Lin Xiaoman's house. He first went to the carpenter and told him about the work of making Kang Yan, so that he should stop taking other jobs recently and concentrate on his work. Hit the edge of the Kang.

If one person is too busy, find a few people in the village who can do simple carpentry work to help.

They also asked people to find some idlers in the village, regardless of whether they were men or women, but they must not be the kind of sneaky, sneaky people, nor the kind who would add insult to injury.

First of all, Lin Shuanzhu and Lin Tianci were excluded. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Lin Daqiang had some doubts about his own vision of people.

Let these people learn to make kang boards, and anyone who wants a kang can use them directly.

After doing this, on the way to Lin Xiaoman's house, I saw many people who were eager to find him after watching Kang.

Lin Daqiang asked these people to go to his home to find Lin Dawu to sign up, and whoever registered first would be the first to offer it to the other family.He also talked to these people about the money and materials to be prepared for a kang. He can find someone to make the kang boards, but each family has to prepare the green bricks and loess for the kang.

Also, if you hire people to work on the kang, you have to pay wages, and you can't let those people do it for them for nothing. This is what he had agreed with those people the night before, and there were three chapters in the agreement.

Fortunately, for the sake of a villager, he does not charge a high price for a kang in his own village. A kang costs [-] yuan, and the edge of the kang is not calculated. If people in other villages or cities want it in the future On the kang, he planned to charge three hundred Wen per kang.

After listening to Lin Daqiang's words, everyone ran towards his house. One was to be the first to register, and the other was to prepare bricks after the registration.

When Lin Daqiang arrived, the east wing was still laying bricks, but those who built the main house started to repair the flue and the kang for the main house after they learned how to make kangs from Lin Xiaoman.

In this way, when the auspicious day is selected and the beam is finished, they can also go to other people's homes earlier.

Thinking of the cake that Lin Daqiang drew for them that day, everyone ridiculed Lin Tianci and Lin Shuanzhu in their hearts.

Lin Xiaoman was bending over to cook on the new stove. He hadn't been idle in the morning, and the siblings hadn't had time to eat breakfast yet.

Seeing Lin Daqiang coming in, Lin Xiaoman called Lin Erhu to invite him into the kang room.

As soon as Lin Daqiang came in, his face was flushed with heat, and his not-so-thick autumn clothes couldn't be worn anymore.

"It's really hot. With the kang, it can't be too cold in winter."

Lin Daqiang touched this, felt that, and climbed onto the yellow clay kang and rolled a few times, he was as happy as a child.

Lin Erhu said: "Uncle Daqiang, my sister said that I forgot one thing before, that you can't directly lay the bedding after the kang is installed, you have to weave mats, this year this will also be a lot of income, Daqiang Uncle, let's find someone to do it."

When Lin Daqiang heard that he would have an income again, he became more energetic, "Chengcheng, I'll find someone when I go back."

He knows how to weave mats, and many people in the village know how to do it. The reeds in the ponds by the river are just growing up. In previous years, the reeds were used to make fire except for weaving some baskets. Now being able to weave mats is really an extra income. .

At this time, Lin Xiaoman's food was also ready, and he brought it in, leaving Lin Daqiang to eat with him.

Lin Daqiang also thought that he still had some things to discuss with Lin Xiaoman, so he didn't refuse.

There were many people outside, and Lin Xiaoman didn't cook very good meals, just a pot of porridge, a few egg cakes, a bowl of pickles, and a few salted duck eggs. The only thing that was considered good was the big bone stewed sauerkraut packed from the villa yesterday.

Lin Daqiang frowned after taking a bite, "It looks like cabbage, but why does it taste sour? Didn't it go bad?"

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "Uncle Daqiang, do you just say it's delicious?"

Lin Daqiang nodded, "Delicious!"

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but put another chopstick into my mouth to taste slowly, and then said: "Don't say it, it's still different from wombat."

Lin Xiaoman said: "This is cabbage, but it has been pickled and turned sour, and it takes oil to make."

Lin Daqiang couldn't believe it, "Don't lie to uncle, this is really cabbage?"

"What are you doing to lie to Uncle? Uncle, wait for a while, I will bring it to Uncle to have a look at."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaoman went to the room where she lived, and brought out a basin, in which were several sauerkraut plants that she and Lin Erhu had bought at the wholesale market there earlier in the morning.

The pickled vegetables are all small ones, the outer leaves are pickled black and green, which is not as good-looking as the big yellow sauerkraut sold in supermarkets and vegetable markets, but this size is just like the womb cabbage they grow here.
