Do it when you think of it.
On a snowy day like this, instead of hiding in bed and playing with your phone, you might as well do something fun.
As soon as Zhou Yu expressed his idea, he immediately gained the unanimous approval of the little princesses.
If you want to make a fire, the first thing you need to do is to collect firewood.
When I was a child, the firewood at home had to be saved for making fire and cooking.
If you dare to use it secretly to warm yourself by the fire, once your family finds out, they will definitely make you a meal of "stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat".
Fortunately, at the foot of Mount Zhongnan, the thing that is least lacking is firewood.
A group of friends can collect a lot of dead branches and leaves by going out for a walk.
However, most of these dead branches and leaves are relatively damp, so when they first start a fire, many children will be moved to tears by the smoke.
But even so, the little friends still enjoy it.
In fact, there is not only smokeless charcoal in the villa’s kitchen, but also a small gas tank.
However, considering the sense of participation and fun, Zhou Yu still took the little princesses to collect firewood.
Fortunately, there are many trees in the villa.
Although most of them are evergreen ornamental plants, it is still easy to find enough firewood.
There is no place to warm up by the fire inside the villa.
After Zhou Yu searched for a while, he finally found a perfect place.
That’s right, it was not until today that Zhou Yu discovered that there was actually a small woodshed in the corner of the villa.
Not only that, there was also a lot of firewood made from fruit trees piled up in the woodshed.
After deciding on a place to make a fire, what remains is food such as sweet potatoes, peanuts, and potatoes.
Although these things are not in the villa, there are quite a few stored in the old house.
After the autumn harvest, the people who rented their land sent a lot of these things to their home to express their gratitude for the rent exemption.
After telling the little princesses to wait for a moment, he went straight back to the old house.
When he appeared again, there were a lot more things in the woodshed.
"Little guy, we don't have a pot here, how are we supposed to cook something?"
Seeing Zhou Yu constantly taking out good things from the snakeskin bag, the little kid next to him couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Yu heard this and smiled mysteriously. Then he took a hatchet and said, "This will do."
As he spoke, he waved the hatchet and started digging on the ground in the woodshed.
Not long after, a hole was dug in the ground of the woodshed.
After carefully scooping out the soil from the pit and placing it aside, Zhou Yu found some grass clippings and dry leaves and lit a fire in the pit.
Considering the use of those damp firewoods, there was bound to be thick smoke.
Zhou Yu hesitated for a long time, but finally chose firewood made of charcoal and fruit wood.
When I was a child, there were no such conditions as we have today. Every time I finished roasting a fire, my face and nostrils would be covered with dust.
Nowadays, there is ready-made charcoal and fruit wood firewood, so there is no need to force yourself to eat.
The grass clippings and dry leaves burned quickly. As the flames gradually grew, Zhou Yu also piled a few pieces of charcoal on top.
After the charcoal was ignited, Zhou Yu did not rush to add firewood, but let the flame burn until it went out.
Seeing this, the little kid next to him couldn't help but come closer to Zhou Yu and said, "Little Nianjun, why don't you add some firewood to the fire?"
"Because these ashes are used to bake the other side of the sweet potatoes~"
Facing the curious baby Li Mingda, Zhou Yu naturally answered every question.
He first used a hatchet to crush the charcoal that had not yet burned out, and then spread a thin layer of soil on it.
After doing all this, the sweet potatoes were placed on top one by one.
Normally, there is no need to cover the ashes from burning branches and dead leaves with soil.
The main reason why Zhou Yu did this was because there was still some charcoal in the pit that had not been completely burned.
If you put the sweet potatoes directly on it, carbonization may occur.
To avoid this, it is natural to keep the sweet potatoes and charcoal separate.
After putting in the sweet potatoes, Zhou Yu placed potatoes around the hole.
After doing all this, he covered the potatoes and sweet potatoes with soil again.
Seeing Zhou Yu doing this, even the usually taciturn Cheng Yang couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, are you planning to plant the sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
Zhou Yu: ...
This step looks exactly like planting, except that charcoal is burned at the bottom of the pit in advance.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to explain the principle with a smile.
"I light a fire at the bottom of the pit in advance, on the one hand, to remove the damp air at the bottom of the pit, and on the other hand, to ensure that both sides of the sweet potatoes can be roasted.
Covering the potatoes with soil is to prevent the flames from burning directly on them."
As he spoke, he had already filled the hole with fine soil again.
After doing this, he lit a fire above the pit again.
It was still grass clippings and dry leaves, and the flame started burning as soon as the lighter was turned on.
Next comes smokeless charcoal and fruit wood firewood.
Considering that it would be a bit of a waste to use these things only for making fire, he simply found a barbecue grill.
As the flames gradually stabilized, Zhou Yu also asked several little princesses to gather around.
Three pairs of little hands stretched out happily, and the warmth of the fire quickly spread from their fingertips to their entire bodies.
"Wow~ Xiao Meng, it's really warm~"
Feeling the temperature of the flame, the little kid couldn't help but praise it.
Cheng Yang and Li Lizhi beside them nodded quickly after hearing this.
