Chapter 135 Another Success
Most of the craftsmen were born in poor families, otherwise they would not be able to rely on begging for food.
They knew too well how difficult the winter in Yong Dynasty was.
As poor people, they stuffed reeds into their clothes to keep warm.
When the northwest wind blew, there was no difference between wearing clothes and not wearing them.
Not to mention going out, even if you hide in the house, the cold walls are equally unbearable.
Thinking about the frail elderly who lost their lives in their hometown every winter because they could not stand the winter weather,
the craftsmen were full of thoughts and thought in their hearts that starting from this year, everyone's winter would be much better.
Not for the credit, but for the villagers in their hometown, they must quickly make the kang that the prince's wife wanted.
"Don't worry, Princess. I think the next one will be a success."
"Come to think of it, Princess, you came at the right time today."
"This is the first one we made. We tried the second one before it dried. We can give it a try today."
"Oh, you already have the second version of the kang?"
"There is no time to waste. Let's try it now."
Zhu Xuntao couldn't wait a moment, because time waits for no one.
This kang is built, but it can't be used immediately. It has to dry and dissipate moisture.
Calculating the time, if we want to build such kangs in particularly cold places before the temperature drops completely, the time is quite tight.
If it weren't for this, Zhu Xuntao would not have made this trip on purpose in this life.
She is here to hurry things up.
"Princess, please come this way."
It is impossible to build two kangs in one room at the same time, so the other kang is in another room.
After changing to another room, Zhu Xuntao saw a kang that was almost done.
The craftsman quickly ordered someone to light the fire, and after a while, the craftsman said again:
"Princess, you can try it yourself."
Zhu Xuntao nodded. This 2.0 kang looked good. At least she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the exhaust system.
The reason why people need a kang is to allow them to stay indoors during the winter.
If the exhaust system is not well done, the room will be filled with smoke, which will drive people out of the room, right?
So Zhu Xuntao was very satisfied with the 2.0 exhaust system and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
When Zhu Xuntao touched it again, she touched the big hole from beginning to end, leaving no corner untouched.
The craftsmen watched Zhu Xuntao's movements. Although it was late autumn, they were so nervous that sweat broke out on their foreheads.
After a moment, Zhu Xuntao smiled:
"Thank you for your hard work. I am very satisfied with this version of the kang. You succeeded."
"When the time comes, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of the prince."
The 2.0 version of the kang exhaust system has no problem, and the heating effect can also meet her requirements.
"Thank you, Princess!"
The craftsmen showed happy expressions on their faces, as if getting Zhu Xuntao's affirmation was the greatest reward for them.
"Sister-in-law, can I touch it?"
Xiao Miluo knew that Zhu Xuntao was doing something important, so she didn't dare to make a sound to disturb Zhu Xuntao during the whole process.
Now that she heard Zhu Xuntao say that it was successful, Xiao Miluo dared to move forward to see what was different about this thing that looked like a bed.
"You touch it."
Zhu Xuntao let Xiao Miluo feel it herself.
Xiao Miluo widened her eyes with a look of curiosity, and then shouted:
"It's hot, it's hot, so warm."
After that, Xiao Miluo simply sat down, and it was indeed very warm.
"Sister-in-law, if we have it in the cold winter, then we don't have to worry about freezing anymore."
"Sister-in-law, this thing is really good, do you want to get it in our house?"
"The winter in the capital is very cold. In the past, grandma always complained about not feeling well. With it, she will definitely not complain this year."
"Put it in everyone's room, since it is a good thing, and no one will be left out."
Zhu Xuntao said generously.
If you don't use the good things you have researched with great difficulty, do you want to be abused?
In fact, Zhu Xuntao was also afraid of the winter in the capital.
When it snowed, Zhu Xuntao wanted to put five or six braziers in her room.
If she went out, she wanted to wrap herself in two quilts.
Mrs. Sun was used to treating Zhu Xuntao harshly, so every winter became the season with the most expenses for Zhu Xuntao.
In the other three seasons, she only needed to make a living in Zhufu to survive.
But the winter in the capital city can freeze people to death. There is no air conditioning or floor heating, so Zhu Xuntao can only make a charcoal fire.
Later, Zhu Xuntao couldn't bear the high price of charcoal in winter, and she slapped her brain and
remembered charcoal. Why should she spend money to buy it? Can't she make it herself?
After the experiment was successful, Zhu Xuntao simply asked Uncle Qian to start a charcoal selling business in winter.
In this way, Zhu Xuntao no longer had a deficit in winter and had income.
But how could a charcoal brazier be as fragrant as a kang.
After finally getting her freedom, Zhu Xuntao especially wanted to make a kang.
Fortunately, after she married Xiao Jingzhan, no matter what kind of talent she wanted, Xiao Jingzhan could find it for her.
Otherwise, according to what she and Uncle Qian said, the talent they finally found must be used immediately to make the most critical things first.
Zhu Xuntao probably had an impression in her mind that she really didn't have the time or manpower to make something like a kang.
Now it's good, the kang problem is finally solved.
Zhu Xuntao didn't show it on her face, but tears were streaming down her face:
[This winter, I finally don't have to be frozen like a dog anymore. 】
[Marrying Xiao Jingzhan does have its advantages, not just a little.]
Xiao Miluo smiled secretly, it was a pity that her elder brother was not here.
Otherwise, if her elder brother heard his sister-in-law praising him in her heart, he would be so happy.
The success of the kang made Zhu Xuntao feel that the trip was worthwhile. After holding Xiao Chenliang and taking Xiao Miluo to walk around the manor where she grew up,
Zhu Xuntao hurriedly took them back to the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion.
After arriving at the Marquis's Mansion, the first thing Zhu Xuntao did was to ring the bell to call someone.
Zhu Xuntao explained the benefits of the kang to Xiao Jingzhan:
"If ordinary people can build such a kang in their homes, they won't be afraid of freezing in winter."
"And the work of building a kang is not big and the cost is not high, so ordinary people can afford it."
"In this way, not only can the people avoid the cold in winter, but a group of craftsmen can find work in winter and make some money for the New Year."
In short, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
The precious wealth accumulated by her great country for five thousand years, how could it be wrong?
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Jingzhan breathed a sigh of relief for the prince.
Snowstorms are certainly a big problem, but with heavy snowfall, the temperature drops sharply, which is also fatal.
Now, the kang has appeared, which is equivalent to solving half of the problems brought by the snowstorm.
The prince can sleep peacefully tonight.
