Chapter Nineteen New Home

Yang Heng did not accompany these younger brothers and sisters for a long time. Not long after, my mother pulled the children over. In this way, Yang Heng began to accompany his father and uncles to check the newly built house and imagine future construction.

"Grandma, look, there is a kang in the east room, and there is a fire wall on the side. The stove entrance for burning the kang is placed underground. One way to get to the bottom is to enter the room." Yang Heng casually lifted up a wooden board entering the basement on the side, and stepped on the stairs below, which is to easily enter the stove in winter to burn the kang.

"Grandma, look at this door again. This is the door behind the house." After opening the door, I also stepped forward. Following the steps, there was a small enclosed compartment. With this compartment, the wind, rain and snow can be blocked outside and will not blow into the basement.

The basement is only used to place firewood and burn kangs. The surroundings of the basement are made of adobe and touched with mud. The only exposed one is the ceiling, that is, the floor of the room is wood. These woods are also soaked with some potions by my uncle's secret recipe. Yang Heng couldn't believe that there would be fireproof potions in this era. That is to say, if the firewood in the basement is burned, the wooden floor will not be burned by fire for a certain period of time. During this period, anyone will quickly extinguish the fire. There is no chemical fuel in this era, so the formula of this potion is also very effective. According to the uncle, his ancestors once produced a Taoist priest, which is the formula of several potions passed down by this Taoist priest, including flame retardant, anti-corrosion, and insect-proof. Some herbs and some ores will be used in these prescriptions.

In Yang Heng's previous life, he had heard legends about Taoist priests, saying that in history, these Taoist priests can be regarded as the ancestors of chemistry. Whether it is the tricks played by Taoist priests or the elixirs refined by Taoist priests, there are reactions about chemistry in it. However, these Taoist priests gradually declined in the process of historical development, and the only thing left behind are some deceptive tricks. The recipes of uncle's potions should be by-products of the alchemy of Taoist priests. Moreover, the ancestor of uncle is still a little smart, and it was directly passed on to his descendants as a secret method of dealing with wood. However, his descendants were really unprosperous and did not carry forward it. Perhaps after a few lifetimes, these recipes would be lost.

After looking at the basement, I continued to go back to the east room, "Grandma, look, the kang surface is only higher than the floor and has a palm width. This is to be able to tell which kang is and where is the floor. Also, in winter, I will sleep on this kang, I asked my uncle to make a kang screen. Look, it is this thing, which separates the big kang in two halves, the east half is the smallest, I will sleep on the east side, you and my mother on this big side, in summer, I will go to the west room. I plan to have a special house in our second entrance to our house, so there will be a kang there, so I can no longer live in this room."

Yang Heng's setting is that there is not only a kang screen on the kang, but also a tent, that is, a curtain is drawn along the edge of the kang. In this way, when resting, there are separate small spaces on both sides of the kang screen, but sound insulation is impossible. Yang Heng's plan is that after moving out, if his father and mother have a younger brother or sister again, they can put their younger brother or sister in the original place.

On the north side of the east house, there are several cases. These cases are used by my mother to place the tablets of ancestors and worship the ancestors. After the entire courtyard is built, there will be a separate room to serve as a place for memorial service. The father is different. There is a ancestral hall in the village. This is the difference between a family and a single family. Any family, no matter how big or small, will have their ancestral hall.

The formal statement of this east house should be that the main hall is lying east and the west is lying west. A lying laid inside, which is the lying laid back from the city. Why should this lying laid? It is mainly because there is a cabinet below the lying laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid laid la

In the middle of the house, that is, the main hall, there is the dining table. When not in use, it is placed on one side and when it is eaten, it is placed flat.

The cooking urn was not placed in the house, but in the shed outside. In other words, before some special houses were built, the cooking was made in the temporary shed.

"Grandpa, our family will build such a main hall. We use the three and four-frame layout, which is just not against the rules. The interval between this one is a bit large. I have seen it from the city. Ordinary families can have three courtyards, as long as it does not exceed these three and four-frame layouts."

In the absence of violations, Yang Heng will try to build his home so that it can make people live comfortably, and the appearance does not need to be very beautiful. He should try not to make outsiders uncomfortable to look at them. If outsiders are uncomfortable to look at them, then he will feel uncomfortable to live.

"What is illegal? Is there any statement about building a house?" The father was a little puzzled. "Brother, this is what it is. Since the New Dynasty, people have sent people to inform me that there is a maintenance order, that is, the construction of houses in the future must be built according to the maintenance order. The highest standard for us civilians is that the houses of your house are like three or four. If it exceeds the system, it will be considered as illegal. At the very least, the excess houses will be demolished, and at the worst, the sentence will be sentenced. In this way, your house is now. I suspect that there may be some illegal places, but it is not so obvious, so no one will pursue it." The uncle explained that he was interested in carpentry and naturally had to understand these so-called buildings.

Now Yang Heng has built the appearance of the house into the most primitive style of logs, making people look very rustic. People who are not familiar with each other will not come into the house to visit. If they enter, they will be shocked.

"Boy, where should our house be placed in the iron-scraping house? Do you know that this time I brought back more than 100 kilograms of iron. Next, our family needs some ploughs and other tools in the fields. If the house is built late, it may not be able to keep up with the farming." The father began to make suggestions. It was not necessary for the father to mention it. Yang Heng also had to build the blacksmith house first. There was no need for the father to recommend it. Yang Heng also had many advanced tools to build. It would be good to have blacksmith skills in his own blacksmiths, so that some new technologies would not be exposed.

"Grandma, next I will build the east wing with my uncles. I will put the blacksmith's house in the east wing, just like my house in the city, and the west wing is built into a house where the servants live. With so much land in our family, there will definitely be servants in the future."

However, the east wing room must be built first, and Yang Heng of the west wing is not in a hurry. Now the west wing is still a temporary shed, which is used as a kitchen.

After the construction of the east wing, the kitchen is the second entrance, which is also placed on the middle line of the entire courtyard, just behind the main hall. There are two houses in front of the kitchen, and these two houses are also three rooms, but they are lower than the main hall. One of the east is used as a sacrificial hall, while the Yang Heng lives in the west, and Yang Heng plans to use it as a livestock house. It depends on the situation. Finally, the west wing is built. Yang Heng led his father and uncles to talk about his ideas and walked around the entire courtyard.
