Chapter 81

[Squirrel Calendar] The one hundred and third day, November 21 of the Gregorian calendar, Monday.

The temperature in the mountains and forests is three to five degrees lower than that in the plains. Although there is sunshine today, the actual temperature is still below zero. In addition, the white snow all over the mountains reflects the sun's rays but does not absorb them, making the temperature even lower. .

"squeak!"

Stretching his waist, Lu Feng got out of the villa in the tree, while chewing the roasted rat meat, he drew gestures on the [white board] with his paws.

The little [Lu Lu] disappeared, but life must go on.Living in the mountains and forests is not an easy task, Lu Feng can only bury his longing for little [Lu Lu] in his heart, and start a new life as a mouse.

"squeak!"

Swallowing the rat meat in his mouth, Lu Feng returned to the tree hole, stuffed his cheek pouch with groundnuts, then climbed down the big pine tree, pulled out the non-woven bag brought back from the bushes on the side, and carried it on his body.

The metal strings used to bind the non-woven bags are still extremely strong, because of the disappearance of the little [Lu Lu], Lu Feng has no time to pay attention to the seasonings and stainless steel bowls in it, until today.

Time to go to the hot springs!
Standing up, Lu Feng ran towards the hot spring on the snow in the mountains. According to the original plan, Lu Feng will build a stove next to the hot spring in the next few days. At the same time, if conditions permit, Lu Feng will also Re-establish a lair next to the hot spring as a place to store items and temporarily rest.

…………

"squeak!"

So comfortable!
Putting the non-woven bag under the banana tree, Lu Feng was thinking while soaking in the hot spring.

Building a stove seems to be a simple matter, but after smoothing out the train of thought, Lu Feng's mouse eyes widened immediately, and he felt extremely tricky.

The most primitive stove, that is, the kind built with three stones randomly in the wild, as long as it can support the pot and there is enough space for the flame to burn underneath.

However, once the requirements are raised, if you want to build earthen stoves commonly used in rural areas, you will need materials, flue, firepower, ash leakage, etc., among which the most important thing is the material for building earthen stoves: bricks.

The people of Huaguo are very intelligent. They invented bricks as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. When the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, it gradually evolved into the strip bricks that are in use today. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the use of strip bricks was very common. However, it is still mainly used in mausoleums.

Along the way, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, until the Ming Dynasty, buildings began to be generally built with bricks, and at the same time, the Great Wall was rebuilt with bricks in the Ming Dynasty.

The material of the bricks is mainly soil, and it is a kind of relatively fine glued soil, and at the same time it should not be too sticky. It needs to be filled with a certain amount of gravel to form it better.

"squeak!"

Shall we burn some bricks?
Digging up memories, Lu Feng soaked in the hot spring thinking.

When I was young, there was a brick yard near the village. One of my friends’ father was the owner of the brick yard. When I went to play with him, I also visited the brick-fired craft many times.

Mixing mud, buckling the mold, demoulding, drying in the shade, entering the kiln, sealing the kiln, firing the kiln, opening the kiln, and discharging bricks.

The entire process of burning bricks often takes dozens of days, and the brick kiln is specially made, just like in the final scene of [Tunnel Warfare], there are many burners around, burning firewood in the burners, and the structure of the brick kiln will be The high temperature of the flame burns together, heats the bricks in it, and finally discharges from the kiln mouth on the top.

The high temperature of the kiln needs to last for several days before a kiln can be fired. Before the kiln is opened, the father of the little friend will slaughter a good rooster as usual, and put a table on the kiln mouth. Eat some incense, bless the successful firing of bricks in a kiln, and don’t have too many broken bricks, and then invite the kiln workers to drink and talk together to boost morale, and then shout "open the kiln" to dig out the kiln. brick.

"squeak!"

What a hassle!
Is there any other way?

Patting his forehead with his front paws in distress, Lu Feng got out of the hot spring, twisted rapidly from head to tail, and shook the water from his hair. The water splashed, and Lu Feng's thoughts also flew away.

As far as he could see, Lu Feng saw three stones that were originally used to build a simple stove, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind.

"squeak!"

How stupid!

Nature itself has [bricks] Well!
Clashing his claws, Lu Feng immediately ran on the snow in the mountains and forests, regardless of whether his hair was still dry.

Arrived!

If there are no bricks, won't the mouse use stones instead?
The rushing stream washes the banks constantly, washing the soil off the rocks and carrying it downstream.

Lu Feng walked along the creek, his eyes kept scanning the bank, looking for enough rocks to satisfy him, and soon, Lu Feng's eyes stopped somewhere on the bank of the creek.

"squeak!"

It’s so cold!

Carefully walking through the snow, Lu Feng tremblingly stepped into the stream, scooped up the stone, and washed off the moss on it at will. A flat stone about [-] centimeters long, [-] centimeters wide and about [-] centimeters was displayed on the ground. In front of Lu Feng.

Not bad!
As long as there are four or five more, you can build a good stove!
Shivering, Lu Feng moved the flat stones to the river bank, and his eyes began to inspect again, hoping to make new discoveries!

"Whoa~"

There was a loud sound of water, and a three-finger-wide swimming fish swooped its tail, splashing ice water all over Lu Feng's face who was groping along the bank of the stream.

"squeak!"

When the stove is built, the first one will catch you!
With an annoyed cry, Lu Feng picked up the stone from under the stream, which was about the same length, width and height. Lu Feng waded through the stream with satisfaction and carried it to the place where the stones were piled up.

piece!Two! ... 12 yuan!

After re-counting his harvest, Lu Feng began to go back and forth between the hot spring and the stream, moving the building materials to his ideal location for building the stove: a little to the east of the hot spring, behind a big rock.

If it is not too small, Lu Feng, who has a strong body, can carry it all at once.

…………

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Hey Autumn!Hey Autumn!
After removing the weeds and leveling the ground, Lu Feng ruthlessly pushed the tip of the flat rock down into the ground at the location he chose.

Insert four pieces on the left side and four pieces on the right side. The height of the inserted stones is about the same as that of Lu Feng squatting, and the width is slightly larger than a stainless steel bowl. If you put a lid on it, it will be fine. It was used as a house for Lu Feng.

But this is only the first step!
The rock only acts as the skeleton of the earthen stove, and the flesh and blood of the earthen stove needs to be prepared by Lu Feng, and the reason why the earthen stove is called an earthen stove is self-evident.

The soil next to the hot spring was soaked by the hot spring water, and it was already completely soaked.Taking out a stainless steel bowl, Lu Feng put the excavated moist soil into the bowl, carried it to the side of the rock, then collected local materials, dug out the snow, and dug out some dry soil to blend with it.

At the same time, Lu Feng also added many tough grass stems to the soil to increase the toughness and adhesion of the soil.
