Chapter 126 Kitchen Renovation Completed
While Si Ye was tamping the earth, Xia Tian was also planning to build the stove.
The loess had been processed. Because she planned to make a stove with double fire outlets, she first used the loess to form two semicircles on the ground, roughly making a shape for building a stove.
Then find the marble slab that had been prepared earlier and place it upright on top. Place three stone sticks upright on the top to facilitate placing firewood. Wait for the soil to dry and harden, and the first layer is ready.
While waiting for the first layer to dry and solidify, Xia Tian continued to apply wet mud to the surface of the stone slab, fixed the connection between the stone slab and the stone stick, and arranged the appearance into the shape of an earthen stove.
Continue to pile up the soil on top, and now it’s time to start the second layer.
The second layer is not much different from the first layer, but because this layer is used to burn firewood, oxygen enters from below, and the smoke needs a ventilation hole, so a small hole needs to be chiseled opposite the firewood inlet to facilitate smoke exhaust and ventilation, and a high-temperature resistant stone stick is also placed on the top.
Unlike the first layer, this layer is used for burning firewood, and the pot is placed directly on it, so the stone sticks used to bear the weight can be laid more densely.
Finally, the soil is used to tidy and reinforce it, and the prototype of a stove is completed, but it cannot be put into use directly. There is still one last important and critical step - burning it.
However, just creating a shape from nothing was enough to amaze the live audience.
[Oh my god, is this the kind of tool people use to cook in the primitive world? ]
[Is this the legendary earthen stove? ]
[This is amazing! Can you really cook if you light a fire inside? This is coming from a loser who can't even make a self-heating pot.]
At this time, the soil on Si Ye's side was almost compacted.
It is visibly visible that the ground no longer has the dusty feeling of the land as before, but instead has a rough texture mixed with sand and gravel, and looks much smoother and cleaner.
Of course, this is just the foundation.
The weather in the hot season changes rapidly, so it is definitely not realistic to just leave it outdoors, so a roof needs to be added on top.
Making the roof is very simple, following the same logic as when Xia Tian built her own shelter before.
It is made into a triangular tent shape, with one side fixed with leaves and straw to protect against wind and rain, while the other three sides are left uncovered to facilitate ventilation.
She discussed the specific details of setting up the shed with Si Ye and they quickly reached a consensus that this part of the work would still be left to him.
Si Ye helped Xia Tian move the dried stove to the downwind corner of the "kitchen" and turned to deal with the ceiling.
The two of them, one setting up the shed and the other lighting the stove, worked together to complete the most important part of the kitchen. As long as they added a table, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, it could be put into use directly.
Time always passes extra quickly when you are busy.
By the time I had finished setting up the place, it was already afternoon and I had forgotten to eat lunch.
But now that I have a kitchen and a dining room, I might as well try it out.
The dining table was a stone table made of stone slabs, with leaves spread on the ground so people could sit directly on it. The bowls and chopsticks were still the original shell bowls and thin branches. Some food that was needed to be eaten temporarily was also moved over, and the firewood was piled in the corner, which looked very homely.
[I'm so jealous! This feeling of accumulating little by little is so fulfilling!]
[I can't believe this place was still a wasteland when I woke up this morning]
[This hands-on ability is simply amazing]
