Chapter 140 Building an Igloo
He shrank his head and said carefully:
"My Lord, how do we get into this snow house?"
The complacency in Chi Ming's eyes disappeared in an instant.
How to get in? There has to be a door to get in!
Door? It’s not drawn on the drawing.
Why doesn’t Qinghuan have a painted door?
Is it unnecessary, or do you think he should know?
You can't just stand inside and seal the mouth. Even if you do, you can't get out.
There is also the issue of ventilation that needs to be resolved.
There must be a door.
The people around also wanted to laugh but they held it back and didn't dare to.
Uh...the prince actually forgot to leave the door open.
Chi Ming coughed, he had forgotten, but he didn't need to explain to anyone.
Where is the right place for the door?
He walked around the igloo, chose a suitable location, carefully touched a snow brick, and pulled it out.
As the snow bricks were pulled out bit by bit, they held their breath tightly, not daring to let go, for fear that the entire igloo would collapse.
Everyone stared at it without breathing, for fear that the noise from their breathing would be so loud that it would collapse the igloo.
Three...two...one!
finally
“Success!”
“It didn’t collapse!”
"Live your majesty a thousand years!"
"Thank God!"
Shu Feng glared at the man and said: You should thank God and the prince, but you should also thank Miss Bai.
Chi Ming also showed a satisfied smile and continued his actions until he dug a larger hole.
"Shufeng, follow me in and feel the temperature."
"Others, continue building like this."
"yes."
With the model, they should learn quickly and roll up their sleeves to work hard.
They rushed to build it, competing with each other to see who could build it first.
Shu Feng looked at the hole and thought it was too small to be called a door. It was more like a dog hole.
Drilling in is like drilling a dog hole, he doesn't want to drill in...
But the prince didn't mind his ugly posture, he left his cloak outside and crawled in smoothly like a loach. He could only follow him and crawl in with his butt sticking out.
He comforted himself: This is not a dog hole, it's an igloo. If it can really keep out the cold, the posture doesn't matter at all.
Yes, it’s not important!
As soon as he entered, Chi Ming felt a little cold because he had just taken off his cloak and his clothes were thin, so he got goose bumps all over his skin. He rubbed his hands and generated some heat.
However, he quickly adapted to this temperature. After feeling it carefully, he found that it was indeed higher than the temperature outside.
Shu Feng also discovered it naturally, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, it really works."
It was rare to walk back and forth in the igloo. Although it was not very big and I could only walk a few steps, it was indeed an unheard-of house.
"If the villagers in the mountain villages could build such igloos, at least they wouldn't freeze to death when their houses collapsed under the snow."
The soldiers opened up the mountain roads and rescued many disaster-stricken civilians, but many more died.
It hurts to think about it, they were all living people.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the world is unpredictable.
I wonder if the King of Hell’s Palace can accommodate so many ghosts.
Chi Ming also fell into deep thought. This snow house is indeed useful. It seems that it needs to be promoted vigorously in Fuzhou.
Let all the men in Fuzhou come to learn this. This is a way to save lives and they must learn it.
The snow disaster in Fuzhou will not only happen this year. In previous years, there would be a major snow disaster every ten years or so.
There may be countless more times in the long years to come.
Once a male in the family learns it, it can be passed down from father to son, from son to grandson, and from generation to generation.
He quickly made arrangements for the future in his mind, and then thinking of the heat reflection mentioned in Bai Qinghuan's letter, he asked Shu Feng to bring a candle and light it.
Shufeng once again walked back and forth with his butt sticking out, took out a candle and a tinder, lit the candle, and placed it in the middle of the igloo.
"Hey, it's really getting warmer."
Candles are used for lighting, no one uses them to keep warm.
Besides, ordinary people used oil lamps at home and could not afford candles.
But the effect of the oil lamp should be the same, it can raise the temperature without melting the igloo.
I didn't expect that a small flame could be so useful.
“It’s just amazing.”
Chi Ming and Rong Youyan: "Yeah."
Qinghuan is a magical existence.
In addition to the snow house, she also mentioned some resources that Fuzhou could use in the letter.
For example, there are pine nuts in the pine cones on the pine trees. She said it very straightforwardly, that is, whatever the squirrels eat, they can follow and collect it.
There are also some nuts, such as hazelnuts, some frozen fruits such as sea buckthorn berries, mushrooms buried under the snow, and so on.
These are things that can fill your stomach and save lives in times of famine.
Soldiers have been sent to the mountains to look for these things. If they really exist, there must be a lot of them since Fuzhou has so many mountains and pine trees.
There is also a way to weave large fishing nets, which can be used to break the ice on the lake for winter fishing.
Although the fish is not delicious, it is enough to fill the stomach.
There are endless fish in the rivers and lakes.
In addition to food, there are also useful things.
The sled proposed by the third prince before is indeed good for transporting things in the snow.
As for the snow boots that Bai Qinghuan mentioned, he also figured out something. It was the same principle as a sled, just make the soles longer so that the feet would not sink into the snow.
Greatly improved walking speed.
There are also some ways to make clothes. It was the first time he knew that fish skin could be used to make clothes.
Where there are mountains, there is water. There are many fish in Fuzhou.
With these, the people of Fuzhou will have a better winter.
All this was Qinghuan's credit, but she asked him not to say it was her credit. She probably just became the Princess of Rong'an County and didn't want to be too high-profile.
Being high-profile also makes her a target and the object of criticism. She is very smart.
He will definitely remember this achievement in his heart, let the emperor know, and give her credit for it.
Qinghuan hasn't left the capital for more than ten years, so how could he know so much?
He shook his head and could only ask again when he got back.
Now he really wants to go home, but he still needs to be in charge of Fuzhou's affairs.
He finally understood the meaning of these four words: eager to go home.
She murmured, "Qing Huan, wait for me to come back."
......
In the capital, Bai Qinghuan sneezed loudly, perhaps because he heard his muttering.
"Someone scolded me."
Zi Yan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you may have caught a cold, put on another layer of clothes."
Go into the inner room and take it to her.
Zhenzhu smiled and thought that it must have been done by the prince, but he didn't scold her, he just thought about it.
"Girl, you just sneezed, which means someone missed you."
Bai Qinghuan curled her lips. Counting the days, her letter should have arrived in Fuzhou.
Chi Ming must be missing her.
He pursed his lips and blew on the newly dried ink to make the book in his hand look old.
As she reveals more, the sources of these things need to be arranged.
As a result, the number of old books in her study increased one after another.
This way, you won’t be afraid of being asked questions by others.
Biyun came in from outside, holding a bundle mysteriously.
"Girl, Liushun sent someone back with something."
Bai Qinghuan was surprised. It had only been a short time since she sent Liushun out, and there was already news?
You are really capable.
"Open it quickly and see what it is?"
