"Oh, stop arguing with your sister. She just solved a big problem for our family. Be more tolerant of her. She is now a hero in our family."
Lin Jinshan: ...
Half a month later.
The weather is getting colder.
The head of Shangbei Village told me that the temperature is dropping faster this year than in previous years. Winter might even arrive early.
Lin Jiuyue looked at her house. It had been built, except for the furniture. Once the furniture arrived, she could start making arrangements to move into the new house.
The capital city is located in the north, and the winter is colder than the previous Lijia Village. Lin Jiuyue herself is not afraid of the cold, but the original owner is afraid of the cold.
"Village chief, do you know who here can repair the kang?"
village head:……
"Kang? What is that?"
Lin Jiuyue was stunned.
"Kang, a heated kang. Village chief, don't you know about kang?"
The village chief shook his head in confusion.
"I don't know, what is that?"
Lin Jiuyue thought about the kang she had seen in the north in the 21st century and felt a little confused.
This world actually doesn't even know about the existence of a fire kang! If I build one myself, will it cause any trouble?
"Well, it's a warm bed..."
Lin Jiuyue told the village chief about the benefits of the kang. After listening, the village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in confusion.
"Miss Lin, how did you know about this good thing? If I remember correctly, the place you lived in before fleeing the famine wasn't as cold as here in the capital, right? Do they have things like kangs over there?"
Lin Jiuyue chuckled twice.
"Yes, Village Chief, it's definitely not as cold over there as it is here in the capital. I saw this about kangs in a book. I originally thought we would have them here in the capital, but I didn't expect they wouldn't be here."
The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
"Oh? Miss Lin actually has some education?"
"I can recognize a few words. I can't even say I can read."
When the village chief heard this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Jiuyue changed.
"Haha, I didn't expect Miss Lin to know so many things. It's my fault for being short-sighted."
Lin Jiuyue felt a little embarrassed by the village chief's praise and quickly changed the subject.
"Village chief, do you think it's possible to find someone to make this kang?"
The village chief stroked his chin and thought for a moment.
"I haven't heard of anyone making a kang here, but since Miss Lin has seen it in a book, it should be possible to make it, right? However, you have to tell the craftsmen about it, otherwise they probably won't be able to make it."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
I only remembered this after the team that was building my house had already left.
I originally thought that if it was too cold in winter, I would hide in the space and not go out at all.
But then he thought, Qiye and he could hide in the space and not come out, but if someone came to the house, he couldn't hide in the space and not come out, right?
"Village Chief, do you know any skilled craftsmen?"
Things like kangs had never appeared in this dynasty. Lin Jiuyue was afraid that ordinary craftsmen would not be able to make one, so she thought of finding two skilled craftsmen, preferably the kind who could understand it the moment they were told.
"I think the craftsmen who built your house were pretty good. Why don't you ask them to build you a kang?"
Lin Jiuyue said with a sad face.
"Oh, I wanted to, too, but I didn't hire them. I was just asked to help. Now that the house is almost finished, they've all left. Even if I wanted to find them to do it, I can't find anyone."
When the village chief heard this, he immediately thought of the person behind Lin Jiuyue.
"Miss Lin, it's not that I have high standards, but I think the craftsmen hired by ordinary people like us are definitely not comparable to those hired by wealthy families. However, if you are confident, I can recommend a craftsman to you. As for whether he can build it, that is not for me to decide."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
The construction method of this kang isn't that difficult. The craftsmen of that era were truly skilled. Plus, with me supervising and offering suggestions from time to time, building the kang shouldn't be that difficult, right?
"Village Chief, I believe you, but I'm just trying it out. Whether I can repair it or not doesn't matter. Just bring the person here."
Seeing that Lin Jiuyue trusted him so much, the village chief agreed immediately.
"Okay, then I'll go get the person later."
"By the way, the front foot you asked to open up the wasteland has been dug. What are your plans next?"
"Oh? So soon?"
The isolation zone I had dug at the foot of the mountain wasn't narrow. I thought it would take some time to dig it out, but I didn't expect these people to be so quick and already have it dug out.
"The workers worked very hard and finished the work ahead of schedule."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Village Chief, the workers are working hard, but it's thanks to your supervision that we can complete the plan ahead of schedule."
Lin Jiuyue first praised the village chief, and then continued.
"After digging out the isolation belt, just set the hill on fire."
After hearing this, the village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
"If the hill is set on fire, will it catch fire with other trees around it?"
Lin Jiuyue shook her head.
"Village Chief, don't worry about this. I calculated it when I dug the isolation zone. With the current distance of the isolation zone, it won't ignite anything else around it."
If it was a deep mountain or a forest with many trees, Lin Jiuyue would not dare to make such a guarantee. However, the small hill that he bought did not have any big trees on it, only some miscellaneous trees.
Lin Jiuyue also ordered the villagers who needed firewood to cut down the slightly larger trees, so that they would not ignite the surrounding trees.
The village chief nodded as he listened.
"Well, in that case, let's have someone light it tomorrow. I'll find a few people to watch over it. If it does catch fire, we can still put it out in time."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
Although I have calculated the safe distance, it is always a good thing to have someone watching over me.
"Okay, it'll be easier to put your mind at ease if someone keeps an eye on it. Let's light it tomorrow. This thing won't burn out in a short time."
The burned weeds and remaining trees can be used as fertilizer after burning. After a winter, they will become the best fertilizer in the spring. At that time, I can plant my own medicinal herbs, and with the spiritual spring water in the space, they will definitely grow well.
After listening to this, the village chief nodded in agreement.
"Okay, will you come to the village tomorrow?"
Lin Jiuyue responded.
"Come on, it's such a big thing, I have to see it with my own eyes before I can feel at ease."
Although the safe distance had been calculated, Lin Jiuyue thought that she still had to watch it herself. If something really happened, she would be there and know how to remedy the situation.
