Chapter 422
After several days of wind and sun, the adobe has been completely dried.

Although it still looks earth-colored on the outside, it is almost like an ordinary brick in the hand.

Weighing the adobe in his hand, Zhou Chen said slowly, "Before the stone house is roofed, I plan to build a bed in the house. To be precise, it should be a kang."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pot exploded in the live broadcast room.

"Damn it, the boss can still build a kang? It's awesome."

"Is it the Northeast Kang?"

"Isn't the boss from Zhonghai? How can he still build a kang?"

"In Alaska, the boss is the only one who has a scorpion shit."

"This idea is simply too good. If it can be successful, the boss will have a much better winter."

Kang is very common in China, especially the majority of residents living in bungalows in the north have Kang.

Living on a kang has many benefits, in addition to being warm and comfortable, it can also prevent rheumatic legs.

Zhou Chen's ability to show this kind of craftsmanship in the show is also a kind of promotion of Chinese culture.

But now the kang is basically built with red bricks, and few people know how to use adobe.

"Although I grew up in Zhonghai, my uncle is a serious northerner. When I was young, I went to my uncle's house to play, just in time for him to make a kang for others. I helped others, so I learned this craft."

Zhou Chen was recalling the past while moving the adobe into the stone house.

"Pan Kang is a very difficult craft, involving architecture, material science, combustion, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and many other disciplines."

"Of course, the craftsmen in the past didn't understand this. They used their experience to cook the kang. According to my uncle and master, although everyone cooks the same kang, everyone's kang is different."

Zhou Chen was not idle while talking.

He chose a corner in the stone house and began to build it with adobe.

Traditional kangs are all square, and Zhou Chen plans to make a square one today.

"To prevent the heated kang from collapsing in the middle, when the craftsmen build the kang with red bricks, cement will be used to reinforce the bricks, and when we build the kang with adobe, we also need mortar."

Mortar is very similar to adobe in that it's made from a mixture of mud and hay, although it doesn't take much hay to make it.

Zhou Chen's technique is not proficient, even a little clumsy, but fortunately, he remembers all the steps of building a kang.

In about three hours, a two-meter-long and 1.5-meter-wide kang took shape.

As for the internal structure of the heated kang, the back-hole-type heated kang in the hanging kang is used, also called the inverted roller-curtain heated kang.

The advantage of this kind of heated kang is that it dissipates heat from three sides, which is much more efficient than the floor kang, and the room temperature can also be improved a lot.

After the main body of the heated kang is completed, all he has to do is to paste the surface of the kang.

The main function of kang noodles is to keep warm, cool and damp. Of course, it also has a more important function, which is to prevent the kang from smoking.

After a layer of mud five to six centimeters thick was applied on the adobe, the main body of the kang was completed.

But to say that it is completely finished, he still needs the last process, which is to install the kang edge.

Picking up a flat square log from the corner, Zhou Chen inlaid it on the upper edge of the kang facing the ground.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room showed amazed expressions.

"I'll go, the wood that the boss has worked so hard for several days with an ax is originally used here."

"And Kang Yan, this is too particular."

"Exquisite, brother Chen is simply too strong."

"The edge of the pine wood kang is full of style, but besides looking good, what's the use of this thing?"

After dusting off the dust on his body, Zhou Chen said with satisfaction: "I was worried that it would be short, but I didn't expect it to be just right."

Glancing at the bullet screen, he responded: "After the earthen kang is burned dry, the corners are easy to fall off. Installing the edge of the kang is not only beautiful, but it can also reduce the damage to the edge of the kang when people go to the kang."

After listening to Zhou Chen's explanation, the live broadcast room was dominated by "666" again.

This time the kang is completely completed.

But Zhou Chen couldn't rest yet.

Although the heated kang has many advantages, it also has a fatal disadvantage, that is, once the exhaust of the heated kang is not good, the whole house will instantly become a smoke room.

Chimneys are essential for air circulation.

After building the kang, he used the remaining adobe to build a chimney half a meter higher than the house wall.

It's all done, it's already dark.

"Phew, it's finally done!"

Zhou Chen's voice startled Xiao Luo who was dozing outside the house.

After bowing and stretching, it staggered to Zhou Chen's side.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Xiao Luo stopped wagging his tail and sat obediently on the ground.

"From now on, you are not allowed to go to the kang!"

I thought that the other party would finally talk to me, but I didn't expect that what I was waiting for was a warning.

Ronaldinho felt a little wronged, but he could only growl in response.

Seeing that the other party was in a sluggish state, Zhou Chen finally reacted.

In order to build a house these days, I haven't walked my dog ​​for a long time.

Rubbing the opponent's increasingly fat dog's head, Zhou Chen smiled brightly, "Let's go hunting."

Hearing this, Ronaldinho, who looked like a stuffed doll just a second ago, suddenly regained his spirits.

It raised its head to the sky and screamed a few times, then it rushed out of the stone house as if its butt was on fire, and then ran back again after a while, and went out again.

Obviously the other party is really suffocated!

Picking up the equipment, Zhou Chen also followed out.

In the past few days, in order to build a home, he hardly went out except to meet the basic needs of survival.

But he felt it was all worth it.

Although it is not obvious now, as long as the temperature drops for a while, the advantages of the stone house to keep warm and resist the cold will appear.

After leaving the camp, Zhou Chen went straight to the hanging foot trap, but the result was not satisfactory.

"This trap hasn't been harvested for days and it's time for a change."

After taking back the materials for the hanging foot trap, Zhou Chen rushed to the next stop.

Passing through a dense forest, he came to a lake for daily watering.

I checked a circle of fishing traps, but there were still no catches.

"Should I say it or not, I'm a bit weak today, and several traps are empty."

Zhou Chen was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

When hunting with traps, luck accounts for more than half.

No matter how experienced a hunter is, there is no guarantee that every time he sets a trap, he will be rewarded.

Fortunately, the harvest of calla taro by the lake is stable, so he won't be hungry.

After picking seven or eight taro heads, Zhou Chen continued to explore the distance along the lake.

If he wanted to survive here, he had to be as familiar with the environment here as possible.

Whenever Zhou Chen has time, he will explore a certain distance far away.

After walking for about four to ten minutes, Zhou Chen stood still.

Looking at the scene on the hillside, he couldn't help laughing.

"Look at what I found..."

With the rotation of the camera, a piece of emerald green appeared in front of everyone.

"What? Nothing."

"Isn't it the grass?"

"This should be bracken."

"Wow, what a big piece of bracken, and there are wild onions over there."

There are a lot of people in the live broadcast room, and naturally there are people who can recognize this plant.

Glancing at the barrage, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "That's right, it's the bracken. With this piece of bracken, I don't have to worry about not getting enough vitamins anymore."

Vitamins are essential for everyone's health. Once the human body lacks vitamins, problems will arise in the corresponding metabolic reactions.

A lack of vitamins will make our body metabolism unbalanced, immunity weakened, and various diseases and viruses will take advantage of it.

In the wilderness, the types of food are relatively single. Zhou Chen not only eats meat, but also vegetables.

Picking off a bracken at random, Zhou Chen showed it carefully in front of the camera.

"Bracken is widely distributed in various regions of the world, and usually they grow on sunny slopes of mountains at an altitude of 200-830 meters and sunny places on the edge of forests."

"This kind of plant is resistant to high and low temperatures. It can still grow at 32°C, and its rhizomes can survive the winter safely at -35°C. When the ground temperature is 12°C and the temperature is 15°C, the tender stems and leaves begin to grow rapidly."

In recent days, the temperature in Alaska has risen significantly.

Zhou Chen guessed that they probably broke out of the ground in the past few days.

"Bracken has strong stress resistance and wide adaptability. It likes humid and cool climate conditions. It requires neutral or slightly acidic soil with rich organic matter, deep soil, good drainage, and high vegetation coverage. It is not far from the lake. Far away, the air humidity is high, which happens to be a paradise for bracken to grow."

While speaking, Zhou Chen had already started picking.

After picking a large handful of bracken, he pulled up some wild onions.

Zhou Chen just wanted to take a bite to taste, but was shocked by a sharp cry.

Following the sound, a bald eagle is swooping in...
