The heavy wood of purple pine with very high oiliness is selected to make the beams, which are hard, corrosion-resistant and insect-resistant, and the floor and wall of the house are made of fir wood, which is moderately soft and hard, and a faint fragrance is distributed in the house.
The interior is made of linen palm cotton and other fillers, which are laid between the walls and the floor, so that the house can be insulated in summer and warm in winter.
The exterior of the house is made of burnt cedar boards, presenting an elegant black color, which is waterproof, insect-proof and beautiful.
The windows of the house are traditional wooden windows with double layers, which can be pushed open or directly removed for ventilation in summer, and double layers can prevent the entry of cold air to the greatest extent after being closed in winter.
Earth kangs are built above the reserved bamboo tube openings. The earth kangs are made of mud mixed with soil mixed with weeds and palms, because only in this way can they withstand the fire.
The tunnel inside is connected to the chimney on the kitchen stove, and there is a mechanism at the connection to isolate it, which is normally isolated.
In winter, the insulation can be opened to heat the kang, and it can also be heated along the bamboo tubes buried in the ground. This is a simple floor heating system.
In addition to linking the kang, the chimney is also linked to the roof. This section is made of iron pipes to prevent snow from accumulating on the roof in winter.
The heat in the chimney can melt the snow in a shallow layer before it slides to the ground.
The roof shows the laying of insulation, followed by a layer of planks, clay on the planks, and finally fired tiles.
The template of the tile has reserved slots and holes, and it can be fixed by laying the clay directly on the roof and nailing it with iron nails. pressure.
This tile is the clay that Li Hongshen found under the waterfall in the west of the territory. It is made of clay mixed with a certain amount of bamboo charcoal powder and then fired in a kiln. It emits silver-black light under the sunlight.
Chapter 27 Great Development of Fengqi Valley - Some Flavors
Chapter 27 Fengqi Valley Development - ([-])
(This chapter has a bit of a heavy taste, very strong taste, please watch carefully)
These mansions were also equipped with a water supply system, and the water towers built on the northern hillside were expanded from the original one to five.
There are also bamboo pipes along the terrain, linking from the water tower to the water storage barrels on the roof of each house, so that people can use the water very easily.
However, this water supply system cannot be used in winter, because the water pipes and water towers will be frozen.
This made Li Hongshen scratching his head, because it was difficult for a clever wife to cook without rice, and she called out to the courtiers and concubines that they couldn't do it.
In addition to luxurious private houses, Li Hongshen also built a dozen public toilets in Fengqi Valley.
Originally, because I lived on the north slope, the public toilets were also built there, but after moving to the basin, it is no longer applicable.
After all, people have three urgencies. You can’t ask people to climb a slope when they have three urgencies. After all, there is a saying,
"You can travel a thousand miles by holding your shit, and you can travel a hundred meters by holding your urine. If you're running thin, you can't walk an inch."
It's rude to say this, but it's not rough.
Li Hongshen also tried his best to set up these ten or so public toilets. First of all, these public toilets are all located at the southernmost point.
The public toilets are not latrines, but toilets made of ceramics. After all, the craftsmanship of the tiles has been pointed out by Li Hongshen, and the glaze of the ceramics is not too difficult, but the yield rate is not high.
The craftsmen in the camp called it extravagant to make toilets, but Li Hongshen still let them do it, after all, it was for the convenience of Li Hongshen himself.
These new public toilets have a medium-sized storage tank above and a large septic tank below. The water in the storage tank comes from the wastewater in the residence, which can save a lot of resources.
There is a large wooden box behind the public toilet. Every morning, people collect the ash left over from the stove at home and put it into this box.
In addition to plant ash, there will also be some animal ashes and dried weeds. The wooden box leads directly to the cesspool under the public toilet.
After one pass of stirring, the super-environmental, super-fertile, and organic fertilizers are freshly baked.
They will be sprinkled on the terraced fields, the plain at the mouth of the valley, and the plain within the territory at regular intervals.
In addition to these, Li Hongshen built three large bathhouses, and these three bathhouses opened regularly every night.
There are special personnel to heat hot water and put it into the bathhouse, and there are some shower heads made of bamboo tubes for people to use.
The area where the Juling tree was originally planted was isolated in order to give the Juling tree sufficient development space.
The salt refinery in the tribe was withdrawn from Fengqi Valley and moved to an area near the salt fields in the territory.
This can save transportation time and improve efficiency. After all, there is no need to worry about the risk of man-made disasters and natural disasters invading the territorial space.
The cattle and sheep purchased from Senior Brother Luo Si were placed on the transformed plain in the north of the land, and other than that, the place has changed a lot.
Several pens surrounded by fences were erected on the plain, and cattle and sheep roamed among them, and the breeding cattle and sheep were forced to work hard every day.
Every day they will be driven to Fengqi Valley for a walk, to eat some pasture planted on the Gukou Plain, and then driven back to the cowshed in the territory at night.
Cows are sometimes pulled onto terraced fields and put on farm tools to do some labor in the fields.
There are also special people who collect goat milk and milk every day, but these are only sent to the leaders after they are boiled.
Moreover, some butter was made by hand-cranking method. After seeing the butter, Li Hongshen ordered the bulls to work overtime. When more cows produced milk, cheese production would not be a problem.
As for the flock of sheep, Li Hongshen ordered people to strip off their clothes. After the wool was rinsed, some of the poor quality were used as insulation materials and stuffed into the house.
Some were mixed with hemp fibers to make stronger cloth. After all, although these cattle and sheep were mortal beasts, they had been herded by Senior Brother Luo Si in the endless wilderness for several generations.
It has been nourished by spiritual energy, and the meat quality, milk quality, and hair hardness have all been improved.
..........
Some of the plains in the territory have been developed into fields, and grains are planted here.
Although these are mortal things and cannot absorb spiritual energy like the five grains planted in the terraced fields of Fengqi Valley, these are Li Hongshen's back road and the confidence in his heart.
After all, if you have food in your hands, don't panic. To maintain a territory, food is the most important thing.
With enough grains in hand, Li Hongshen successively established a tofu workshop, a sauce workshop and a wine workshop in Fengqi Valley. The distiller's grains and distiller's yeast that he had made experimentally to invite white-bellied sea eagles were also useful.
In the tofu workshop, there is a stone mill the size of a kang, and a small water wheel is placed on the waterway. This is water power to pull the stone mill. If necessary, it can be detached from the water wheel shaft, and the stone can be pushed by manpower or cattle power. grind.
The tofu here is made of gypsum, which was mined in the sedimentary rock next to the Nanwan salt field in the territory, and was discovered when the salt field was expanded.
As for the sauce workshop, it produces bean paste and soy sauce. This is a slow and meticulous work, and Li Hongshen has passed on the craftsmanship.
Firstly, soybeans are ground into soybean powder, then fully kneaded into dough, then cut into noodle cakes, steamed in a pan, and then placed in the back of the sun, waiting for the bloom of natural bacteria.
The flowered noodles are mixed with salt water into the tank, and exposed to the sun for half a year. These sauce tanks need to be taken care of by special personnel to monitor the daily temperature and humidity.
You also need to hold a long stirring stick to stir according to the state, and turn the soy sauce below to the top.
Turn some of the dried fermented soy sauce to the bottom of the tank, and after pounding, cover the sauce tank with pointed iron covers to prevent ash from falling.
Finally, when everything is mature, pour the sauce germ into a clean sack for filtration, and finally get a sweet soy sauce.
