After nuclear sewage, I can hear the voices of plants

But the time of minus 18 degrees is very short. There is only about half a month in the whole winter when it reaches minus [-] degrees. Most of the rest are around minus [-] degrees. The temperature is considered pleasant. At least Jiang Yan and the others can go out wearing furs. Play in the snow.

When the water surface froze, Jiang Yan immediately broke the ice in the fish pond in the backyard and put all the fish indoors. The warm temperature would allow these fish to survive for two more days.

Unlike fish ponds, Shuijing Jiangyan is not worried at all. Due to the depth of water wells, it is difficult to be covered by a thick layer of ice. In most cases, an ice layer of about one centimeter will form on the surface. Such a thin layer of ice will only pull The leather basket in the well can break the ice, so Jiang Yan has nothing to worry about when it comes to drinking water.

Taking buckets with them, Jiang Yan and the others poured all the water in the fish pond in the backyard outside the wall, drained all the water in the fish pond, and then Jiang Yan returned to the house to start the cat winter.

There is not a shortage of food at home. When Jiang Yan had nothing to do some time ago, he would go hunting every two days, and the results of each hunting trip could sustain Jiang Yan and others for several days, so that Now Jiang Yan has a lot of food stored at home.

After bringing in the bricks, Jiang Yan placed the bricks and mud in the living room. Listening to the howling wind outside the window, Jiang Yan prepared to make a heating stove in the living room.

Without cement, the method of building a stove is much simpler. Build a cylindrical furnace, then make a hole in the upper part of the back, insert the iron pipe into the hole to become the flue, and leave a round hole at the top. shaped muzzle.

Compared with the stoves built outside, this stove has one less firewood inlet at the bottom, but a stove less than half a meter high does not need a firewood inlet. All firewood and ashes are taken out at the top. The bore is finished so that the whole will be more closed and the flame will be more concentrated.

Using yellow mud and bricks, Jiang Yan, with the help of the Lu sisters, built the stove in just half an hour, but when it came to the flue, Jiang Yan ran into trouble.

Various windows and doors were sealed by Jiang Yan with quilts and plastic sheets. If the hot flue tried to escape from here, the plastic sheets and quilts would only melt, and there would even be a risk of fire. .

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yan suddenly raised his head and recalled the hole in the roof that had been smashed through in the first place.

Jiang Yan used wood and plastic cloth to repair the original loophole. Now that Jiang Yan has an iron sheet, Jiang Yan can completely let the chimney go out through this loophole. He only needs to saw a round opening on it.

Just do it. Thinking of this, Jiang Yan took out the wire saw and climbed up to the roof. Jiang Yan lifted the plastic sheet on the roof and started cutting the wooden boards on the roof.

After working for a long time, Jiang Yan finally cut out a hole of appropriate size. Because the hole was closer to the bedroom, Jiang Yan simply fixed the long flue directly to the wall.

The nails were fixed, and Jiang Yan curved an arc at the top of the flue. This arc could prevent rain and snow from pouring into the stove on rainy and snowy days. With the cooperation of the Lu family sisters, Jiang Yan, after finishing everything, took out the nails and nailed the iron sheets. On the wooden planks of the roof.

With the protection of the iron sheet, the roof became stronger. Covered with the previous plastic sheet, Jiang Yan sealed it again with wooden strips and climbed the ladder back into the house.

The ingenious Lu sisters fixed the flue, extended it all the way to the stove against the wall, and then inserted it into the small chimney extending from the stove.

The stove covered with yellow mud dried in the shade for a day and a night. When it was almost time, Jiang Yan brought the firewood from outside and put it in one by one from the top.

Pulling out the lighter, Jiang Yan ignited the wood chips, and the flame grew from small to large. Not long after, the entire stove was filled with red fire.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan held the stove hook and covered the stove back, and drew a bucket of well water. Jiang Yan took out an iron kettle and placed it on the stove to heat it.

The indoor stove is likely to poison Jiang Yan and the others with carbon monoxide. Jiang Yan knows the dangers involved, but carbon monoxide poisoning is based on incomplete combustion. With such a long chimney, it is impossible for the firewood in Jiang Yan's stove to be inactive. Fully burned.

Although the normal burning and extinguishing of charcoal will still produce some carbon monoxide, the living room is a must for Jiang Yan and others. Opening and closing the door many times also makes this insignificant amount of carbon monoxide lose the ability to poison Jiang Yan and others. effect.So overall it is relatively healthy. After all, many farmhouses in Shengjia Village have stoves indoors, and Jiang Yan has been taught how to build stoves since he was a child.

However, if this stove was built by the Lu sisters, the efficiency of Jiang Yan being poisoned by carbon monoxide would be greatly improved. Not everyone can do the technical work of building an indoor stove, especially those young people who do not overestimate their abilities and think that they It works, but every winter, several children in the village of Jiangyan die from carbon monoxide poisoning.

After closing the door of the living room, Jiang Yan took out the remaining rabbit skins and prepared to sew three fur hats. In winter, hats are in short supply. If he goes hunting without a hat, Jiang Yan will definitely get a headache from the cold, and he will also have a headache. Possible infection with wind chill.

If Jiang Yan had been ill before, he might have recovered with a sling, but at this time, the whole world might not be able to find a doctor.

While sewing the leather hat carefully, Jiang Yan sat on the kang and concentrated on it, while the Lu sisters beside her were playing chess in boredom.

"Crackling."

Firewood crackled in the furnace, and soon the sound of boiling water reached the ears of the Lu sisters.

Carrying hot water, the Lu sisters made three cups of hot tea and placed the kettle on the kang table. The Lu sisters drank tea and played chess.

Outside the window, the cold wind howled.

Zhao Dabai didn't want to enter Jiang Yan's farmhouse because of his rough skin and thick flesh. In winter, Zhao Dabai grew a thick layer of fur, and the temperature in the farmhouse was over 20 degrees. This made Zhao Dabai, who was covered in fur, Unable to adapt, even Kaka, who was lying on the floor of the bedroom, would open the door from time to time and go outside to get some air.

Sewing a hat was more difficult than a scarf. After disassembling a used cotton hat, Jiang Yan finally figured out how to sew a hat. It took him nearly an hour and a half to finally sew a leather hat.

There are large ear protectors on both sides of the leather hat to protect the ears from frostbite. Jiang Yan has sewn two ropes under the ear protectors. These two ropes allow the wearer to tie a knot on the chin, which has the effect of Fixed role.

Overall, this fur is more like a military cap, just like the hat that matches the fur coat on old TV, and the cold-proof effect is definitely worth mentioning.

With the lessons learned from the past, Jiang Yan spent an hour sewing the remaining two hats, and gave them to the Lu sisters to try on. The soft hats fit the shape of their heads, and overall they were even more comfortable than the previous clothes. .

"Hoohoo!"

Outside the window, the howling cold wind howled evilly. Listening to the sound of the wind outside the window, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the kennel she had built for Zhao Dabai.

When they were shoveling the sand pile, they agreed to build a doghouse for Zhao Dabai, but Jiang Yan was too busy at the time and forgot about it. Moreover, at that time, Zhao Dabai always slept with Jiang Yan in the farmhouse. The room in the room is sometimes a bedroom, sometimes a living room, and there is no need for a doghouse at all.

But things are different now. Zhao Dabai, who cannot adapt to temperatures above 20 degrees, urgently needs a kennel to keep out the wind and cold.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan got off the kang, put on her shoes, and took the Lu sisters to put on their coats and walk out of the farmhouse.
