There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 401 Luo Cheng Makes a Kang (Part [-])

Li Jiaoniang got dressed and went downstairs.

The door of the hospital hadn't opened yet. It was cold and there were not many people coming early in the morning, so they simply opened the door late.

Zhao Cong was wearing a newly made sable fur cloak, with his sleeves rolled up, sitting in the main hall studying, his gray hair curled up under the hem of his cloak to keep warm.

Li Jiaoniang came to the kitchen to look for a water cup to wash.

After tidying up, Luo Cheng came over and asked, "Jiaoniang, what is a kang?"

Li Jiaoniang blinked, "Kang?" Thinking about it, this is the south, where is there a Kang?No wonder he asked, "Oh, it's just...a bed made of brick and clay, one end of which is connected to a stove, and a fire is lit in the stove in winter, and the fire heats up the brick and clay bed, so it's not cold when you sleep. Kang. This is almost common in the homes of northerners.”

Luo Cheng thought about Li Jiaoniang's words, and thought about what this "Kang" looked like in his mind.

"Brother Luo Cheng, why are you asking this?" Li Jiaoniang asked curiously when she saw him staring at him in thought.

"It sounds like this 'Kang' looks pretty good." Luo Cheng said.

Li Jiaoniang laughed, "Of course, in winter in the north, dripping water turns into ice. Without a warm kang, how can you survive the night? In winter in the north, if you sprinkle a glass of water in the sky, it can turn into ice in an instant."

After hearing this, Xiang Erbao and Chunya opened their eyes wide in surprise, "Is it so cold?"

Li Jiaoniang nodded, "Of course, in the northeast... oh no, in the area north of Shangjing in the Kingdom of Jin, that's the weather."

When it comes to the Kingdom of Jin, everyone is silent.

They have never been to the Kingdom of Jin, nor have they met the Jin people, but they have heard of it.

Twenty years ago, Jin soldiers went south and took away many royal family members and courtiers. Thousands of people survived, but very few survived. Some people were tortured to death, but most of them were frozen to death. up.

Luo Cheng shook his fingers in the middle of his sleeve and walked into the main hall. After a while, he walked up to Li Jiaoniang with a blueprint, "Is that so?"

Li Jiaoniang took it in her hand and looked at it, the dullness in her heart was swept away, she burst out laughing, "What is this painting of you? A bed on fire?"

Luo Cheng was embarrassed, "According to what you said, a bed that can light a fire."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and nodded, "It's almost like this, but..., I have to improve it, otherwise, the room will be full of smoke, and it will be poisoned."

Luo Cheng's expression changed, "Is the smoke from the fire poisonous?"

"That's right." Li Jiaoniang said, and she explained to Luo Cheng what carbon monoxide is, "The smoke produced after burning is sealed in a sealed space. If people inhale too much, they will be poisoned, and the light ones will be unconscious. Not waking up, foaming at the mouth, in severe cases, not waking up directly."

This sounded terrible, and both Chunya and Xiang Erbao were frightened.

The two ran into the kitchen together, quickly opened the small window, and opened the door wide.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Our kitchen doesn't matter, there are gaps everywhere, and there is a chimney, the smoke will come out."

They made an old-fashioned kitchen with a breathable tile roof and a chimney.

So even if the doors and windows are closed tightly, there will not be too much carbon monoxide accumulated in the house, and the big chimney has already exhausted the smoke.

Luo Cheng heard that the smoke was poisonous, so he became nervous, and immediately went back to Li Jiaoniang's drawings to check, "I'll change it."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Let me draw."

She took the blueprint and walked into the main hall. On the back of the blueprint, she drew a big heated kang that was popular in the peasant households of the modern age.

Luo Cheng watched from the side, nodded in admiration and said, "That's good, build a chimney here, and there will be no smoke in the house."

Li Jiaoniang handed the drawing to Luo Cheng, clapped her hands and said, "Brother Luo Cheng, what are you asking about the heated kang? We are in the south, and no one makes this heated kang."

Luo Cheng stuffed the drawings into his arms and put them away, smiling slightly, "I heard people talking about this kang, and I'm just curious about what it looks like."

"Childish." Li Jiaoniang laughed.

……

Today's breakfast was made by Luo Cheng himself, and he didn't let Xiang Erbao and Chun Ya do it.

The breakfast made by the two of them looked like that, but it didn't taste very good when they tasted it.

Luo Cheng could barely swallow it.

Zhao Cong frowned. Seeing him eating, Zhao Cong obediently endured it and ate it.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and ate a few mouthfuls, then stopped.

She didn't say it, but Luo Cheng understood that the food was not to her taste.

Unless the medical hall is particularly busy, usually Luo Cheng cooks the meals himself.

Today's weather is very cold, Luo Cheng boiled hot chicken porridge, and also fried egg pancakes.

Li Jiaoniang taught him how to fill egg cakes, but after doing it a few times, his proficiency surpassed that of Li Jiaoniang.

Since then, Li Jiaoniang no longer likes to cook this dish, it has always been made by Luo Cheng himself.

Zhao Cong was holding the porridge bowl, eating with bright eyes, purring loudly.

When he first came to the medical center, he still maintained a reserved and elegant eating posture. He went to the tavern opposite more times, and he actually learned the image of the men who pick their feet when they eat.

Luo Cheng stared at him, "Huh?" The ending sounded long and drawn out, appearing very dissatisfied.

Zhao Cong immediately changed his image, sat upright, took a spoon, and ate bit by bit.

Li Jiaoniang sighed in her heart, the more difficult it was for Zhao Cong, in order to survive, she had to pay attention to her meals.

After everyone finished their breakfast, Luo Cheng went to open the door of the clinic.

It was half past half hour, and everyone began to divide the work and get busy.

Chunya and Xiang Erbao guarded the clinic, Li Jiaoniang took Zhao Cong out to see a doctor, but Luo Cheng did not go to collect medicinal materials today, but went to the stone market in the northwest of the city.

Yuezhou City is in the south, and there are not many wood and stone materials in the city. The wood and stone materials needed by the people in the city to build houses are either transported from outside the city or purchased from shops in the city.

Luo Cheng chose to buy from shops in the city.

Because going out of the city takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and with that wasted time, a wall was built.

When we arrived at the stone market, Luo Cheng picked up stone bricks among several shops.

He doesn't pick the price, he picks the material.

There was a shop where the stones were polished the smoothest, and Luo Cheng picked this shop to buy.

He took out the drawings and discussed with the shopkeeper the quantity of stone bricks needed.

The store owner has been to the north, looked at the blueprint and asked in surprise, "Isn't this the kang of the northerners?"

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, it's Kang, the shopkeeper has seen it?"

The shopkeeper sighed, "To tell you the truth, I'm from the north. The houses in the north are gone, the fields are gone, and my family has to escape to live in the south."

Another war in the north...

Regarding the court situation, Luo Cheng has nothing to do.

He said, "Shopkeeper, I would like to invite you to come and build a fire pit like the one on the drawing. The price is negotiable."

The storekeeper replied, "Don't worry, this senior official, the best thing I can do is to make kangs."

After the two discussed it and selected the materials, Luo Cheng brought the store and the store's buddy to the medical clinic.

Xiang Erbao asked in surprise, "Brother Luo Cheng, what are you doing?" He looked outside the door, why did Luo Cheng pull a carriage full of bricks and stones, what is this for?
Seeing him standing still, Luo Cheng said dissatisfiedly, "What are you still doing? Come and help."

Xiang Erbao ran forward quickly and helped to move it up.

Luo Cheng thought of one thing, "Sister Jiao Niang will come back in a while. Remember to stop her."

Xiang Erbao couldn't understand, "Why?"

"Remember, I want to give her a surprise."

Xiang Erbao understood immediately, and said with a smile, "Understood, Brother Luo Cheng."

But what is the surprise?
Xiang Erbao and that guy moved the stones and bricks upstairs one by one.

Luo Cheng entered the bedroom earlier, and moved all the things in the house into Zhao Cong's bedroom.

After the room was vacated, the store that sold bricks took the boy to build the wall immediately.

Xiang Erbao and Chun Ya stood in the room and watched for a while, feeling confused.

Li Jiaoniang's voice came from downstairs, "Where are you? Why aren't you here?"

Luo Cheng pushed Chunya towards Erbao, "Hurry up, send Jiaoniang away, and come back in two hours."

Chun Ya came to her senses, "I'll take Sister Jiao Niang away."

She quickly ran downstairs, "Sister Jiao Niang, are you back?"

Li Jiaoniang put the backpack containing silver needles and medicinal materials on the shelf and hung it up, poured water and drank it by herself, "Well, I'll be back when I'm done." She heard the sound of jingling upstairs, and asked, "What are you doing upstairs?"

Chunya hurriedly said, "Oh, Brother Luo Cheng is repairing the tables, and one of the tables is broken."

Li Jiaoniang was funny, "He really can't sit still."

Chunya blinked, and said with a embarrassed smile, "Sister Jiao Niang, I want to make two winter clothes for the New Year. Take me to a tailor shop? I don't know which shop makes good tailors."

"I know, I'll take you there now." Li Jiaoniang smiled, and beckoned to Zhao Cong, "Cong'er, your sister-in-law is going to pick out fabrics, let's go, let's go and have a look together."

There is something to play and eat when you go out, Zhao Cong is the happiest going out with Li Jiaoniang, but he has learned the rules, he is no longer jumping and shouting "Okay" childishly, but is reserved, nodding his head slightly, "Okay" .

like a grownup.

Li Jiaoniang was startled, this child!
She smiled and shook her head.

When going out with Chunya Zhao Cong, in addition to doing errands, eating and playing, there must be a lot.

So, when they ate, had fun, and got things done, it was already two hours later.

"Sister Jiao Niang, the two of them are at home, will they still be hungry? Both of them can cook." Chun Ya smiled and said, "There are sachets over there, I want to go and see."

Zhao Cong also said, "I also want to see the sachet."

"Okay, I'll take you to see it." Li Jiaoniang was speechless, so she nodded.

Take the two halves of the older children out, when can I go home?
