Chapter 885 Pan Kang’s
life passed by so leisurely.
And Xu Wanning finally waited for the arrival of her father and brother.
The morning after the new house was built, Lin An answered the phone and hurriedly went out.
But Xu Wanning's mind was focused on the kang she had just laid out, and she didn't notice Lin An's departure.
"Is this a kang? It doesn't look as beautiful as the bed, and it's too big. Thanks to the size of your room. If it were smaller, there would be no room for other furniture if it were smaller.
Xu Wanning explained: "Actually, With a kang, you don't necessarily need other furniture.
Xu Wanning pointed to the empty wall, "At that time, we can ask the carpenter to build two cabinets and build them against the wall. They can store things without taking up space.
" When not sleeping during the day , she rolled up all the blankets and put them in the empty space under the cupboard, and then made a small low table. The whole family sat cross-legged on the kang to eat. It was warm and convenient.
She had seen people from the Black Province in the real world, and they were all This is how they spend the winter.
"Listening to what you said, the kang is indeed more practical than the bed, but the cost is too high.
To ensure the strength of the kang, a lot of bricks and cement were used from the village next door.
So the Lin family is not short of money . , I am willing to spend dozens of dollars to build this kang.
The total cost of building the house is only a few hundred yuan, but
the villagers still feel that
the bed is not cost-effective. The cost was low, and it was not strong enough to cut down firewood.
Xu Wanning just smiled and did not answer the question.
If she told the villagers that the money was not much, she might be scolded in their hearts. "Wan Ning, after talking for a
long time, how is this kang used? Can we open our eyes and see something today? "
Of course .
Xu Wanning originally wanted to ask Lin An to bring some firewood, but she looked around the crowd and did not find Lin An.
"Tsuenquan, have you seen your brother?"
"My brother went to the brigade headquarters to answer the phone. Sister-in-law, what do you want from him?"
"I want him to bring me some firewood. I want to burn the
kang." We did this. Where is the firewood piled? I went to pick up some and came
quickly, and the firewood came over.
Xu Wanning successfully burned the kang according to the method of burning the kang that she found on the computer.
"It's not warm here. It's not as warm as a brazier.
" That's right, and this kang is so big, I guess I use a lot of firewood a day. With all this firewood, I might as well build a few more braziers.
Xu Wanning didn't explain, just be patient. Waiting.
The kang is so big, and the room is also big. If you want the heat to come up, you have to wait for at least a while.
Unable to keep everyone waiting, Xu Wanning asked Lin Quan to grab some melon seeds and peanuts. Everyone had something to eat, so they were reluctant to leave.
After a long half hour passed, someone suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?"
"A big bug bit my butt. It hurts so much.
" It's freezing cold today. I ate all the bugs and hid to keep warm. Why did I bite you when I had nothing to do?
"I'm not lying. I was really bitten and it hurt to death. "
Xu Wanning heard this and reached out to touch the kang.
The temperature has completely risen.
But now only the kang is warm. It will probably take a while before the whole room can be warmed.
"Please touch the kang, is it already warm?"
A curious person put his hand on it and let out an ouch.
"Don't tell me, it's really warm. I just don't know what it feels like to sleep on it.
Because the kang is newly installed, Xu Wanning hasn't had time to make a mattress yet, and the kang is bare, so she doesn't mind if everyone goes up and gives it a try. "You can lie down on it and try it out, but in order to ensure that you don't get burned, you must not take
off your clothes.
After getting Su Huan's consent, the person immediately lay down on it.
"Comfortable, so comfortable. Come and try
such a big kang. It's enough to accommodate a dozen adults lying side by side.
Xu Wanning didn't pay attention, and there were already a dozen people lying on the kang.
"I want to take it back. I just questioned the Kang's words, it's too comfortable. Since the beginning of winter, I have never felt so comfortable. He was so warm that
he even wanted to go outside to grab a bite of snow to eat.
Xu Wanning smiled, and then said to the captain: "Captain, you can try it too. If the effect is not bad, you can report it to the commune and let everyone have a kang at home. The
captain tried it, and the kang is indeed It’s really good as Xu Wanning said, but it also has a lot of disadvantages.
“It’s too expensive. One kang costs about ten yuan. Not many families in the village can afford this amount of money,
even if they have all the savings. , and it’s impossible to take them all out and put them on the kang.
Although it is indeed comfortable to sleep on the kang, having a kang will make winter easier.
But compared to sleeping comfortably, eating well is the most important thing.
"In order to save trouble, I bought whole bricks, but the brick factory had a lot of broken bricks, which would definitely not be used to build a house, but with good craftsmanship, broken bricks can be used to build houses. If it doesn't work, just use adobe bricks to build a kang first.
"Although the kang made of adobe bricks has a short lifespan, the cost of adobe bricks is low. At most, it will be built again next year. Let's get through this winter first,
" Xu Wanning said. , someone is already ready to make a move.
The broken bricks from the brick factory are very cheap, and you can haul a large cart away for just a few cents.
The rooms in their house are not as big as Xu Wanning's house. Accordingly, they use fewer bricks. One cart of bricks can cover two kangs. If the family's conditions are slightly worse, two families can share one cart.
If that doesn't work, use adobe bricks.
Although rammed earth bricks are a bit tiring, they save money.
And the people who make the kang are all from the village. They don't need to pay for the work, and they can just wait until their family has something to do to help.
Calculating it this way, it really doesn’t cost much to make a bed.
At least this money is within the reach of most people in the village.
"Wan Ning, are you willing to contribute to the method of laying the kang?"
"Why not?" Xu Wanning said: "We usually live in Beijing, and we can only live in Dajiang Village for a few days throughout the year. I want to make the kang, mainly The purpose is to let everyone take a look and understand the benefits of the kang, so that everyone can have a comfortable New Year.
It's okay to succeed in the kang in one try.
And not all people in the village are stubborn. I objected to the hot bed.
While I was talking, the temperature in the room gradually increased.
Although it was not warm enough to take off my cotton-padded jacket, it was not so cold that I could only rely on the brazier to keep warm.
