When Liu Dagang came, he saw this drawing of a kiln and was stunned for a long time without reacting: "This, this... Xiao Xiaoniang, what kind of kiln is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Jiang Wei slowly put down his brush and said: "This is a kind of kiln I saw in the book. I want you to help find a few people to build it. The labor is still the same as the last time I dug the cellar, twenty-five cents a day. "

"Okay!" Liu Dagang agreed without asking any more questions.

He looked at Jiang Wei's brush casually placed on the table, and then at the pictures painted on the white paper. He was filled with wonder. He was worthy of coming from a scholarly family. Not only could he write well, but he could also draw... Xiaoxiaoniang is just like every lady, so amazing!

"Then I'll find someone to help now." After Liu Dagang finished speaking, he went to call for someone without stopping.

Not only the women and children in the village, but also the old men like to work in Jiang's house, because not only is her work easy, but the wages she pays are high.

Now that the irrigation in the rice fields has come to an end, all we have to do is wait for the rice to mature. Most of the family's hands are free, and they are worried about having nothing to do.

Now I heard that the Jiang family was looking for someone to work again, and they were given twenty-five cents as wages, so they all gathered in front of Liu Dagang to sign up.

Liu Dagang's forehead hurt from the noise, so he simply called the few people who dug the cellar with him last time.

Several of these people had helped the Jiang family dig wells together, and they were all honest people who worked hard.

Jiang Wei was familiar with these faces. He first asked a few people to look carefully at the kiln drawn on the drawings, and then explained in detail what should be paid attention to when building this kiln and how to build it well according to the drawings. …

Although it was the first time for these farm men to see this style of kiln, they understood how to build it after Jiang Wei's careful explanation.

There are many brick kilns for firing porcelain in the county, and most of them have seen some of them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao watched from the side, and her mother finally decided to build the kiln on the hillside opposite her yard.

She understands this principle. The kiln is built on a high ground, which can avoid water accumulation and allow firepower to penetrate upward step by step.

Jiang Wei arranged for two teams of people to start building refractory bricks, while he went to the back of the yard to dig clay and mix it with water.

With Jiang Wei directing the construction, the farmers who came to work did not dare to slack off. The kiln was built very quickly, and it was basically completed in the afternoon.

Jiang Xiaoxiao compared the drawings and then looked at the gradually taking shape of the kiln outside the yard, and he had a vague guess in his mind.

The kilns used for forging and heating in ancient times were all hand-forged kilns. The working space was a concave trough, which was filled with coal. The air for combustion was supplied from the lower part of the trough, and the porcelain was buried in the coal for heating.

This kind of kiln is naturally ventilated. When there is insufficient air in the kiln, the charcoal will not burn fully and it will be difficult to reach the predetermined temperature.

Therefore, the thermal efficiency of kilns in this era is usually very low, the heating quality is not good, and they can only process small workpieces, such as ceramics.

The kiln built under the command of her mother-in-law not only changed the shape to a straight-cylindrical cupola kiln that can provide higher temperatures, but also further modified the kiln in the traditional sense.

This modification is mainly in terms of ventilation.

In order to make up for the air in the kiln, her mother used forced ventilation and asked people to open an extra vent every five feet on the top of the kiln. The kiln door was also designed to open on both sides facing each other, which allowed the kiln to The temperature inside further increases.

Jiang Xiaoxiao held her chin and looked at it for a long time, her fingers carefully rubbing the round and smooth glass beads on her headband. The kilns her mother commanded to build were all close to high temperatures. Could it be that they were for the purpose of firing glass... Speaking of which, there was no such thing as glass in this era. If it could be fired, her family would be prosperous!

A kiln is being built in full swing outside the courtyard, and the women and children in the courtyard are also burning stoves to make ice cream and ice cream.

I have to say that these aunts are really quick with their hands and feet. In just a few days, they made more than 10,000 servings of ice cream and ice cream ordered by Jiang Yu, and even far exceeded this quantity.

Her family won’t have to worry about the delivery volume to restaurants, teahouses and wine shops in the next few decades.

In the evening, when the kiln was built and the group of aunts who came to work at home also left, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and started cooking dinner in the kitchen.

Since they were too busy during the day, the mother and daughter made do with lunch, eating big meat buns bought from the town.

"Don't ask everyone to come tomorrow." Jiang Wei checked the ice cream and ice cream that were almost piled up in the space.

There are so many ice creams and ice creams that cannot be molded without ice cubes, so we need to speed up the production of ice cubes.

Now that the cellar has been dug, Jiang Wei has not moved the ice machine in because he is afraid that there will be too many people and the clues will be discovered if he is not careful.

Although the people who work here are all honest people, they are not from this era after all, so you should try to be careful.

The mother and daughter made two bowls of egg noodles. After eating and drinking, they went to the cellar to place the ice machine.

The power of these ice machines is between 100 and 200 watts, which means that it consumes one kilowatt hour of electricity in five to ten hours. A fully charged battery can make the ice machine run non-stop for dozens of hours. .

Jiang Wei goes to the cellar every few hours to collect ice cubes and replace the dead battery.

Jiang Xiaoxiao counted and found that her mother had taken out a total of twelve batteries. These batteries had a large amount of power, but they would eventually run out.

When she was worried, her mother took out a few more solar charging panels...

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

She looked at the half-person-high fence around the yard, then pointed to the rubber wires on the solar charging panel and said, "Mom, our house hasn't been built yet. If someone sees it..."

Before she finished speaking, her meaning was clearly expressed.

The solar charging panel needs to be placed under the sun to charge. It cannot be placed in the cellar like these ice machines. If it is placed in the yard, it will be bad for people to see people coming and going in broad daylight.

"...It seems that we have to speed up the progress of building a house." Jiang Wei silently took back the solar charging panel, then waved his hand and summoned several more diesel generators.

"..." Jiang Xiaoxiao was completely speechless now.

Ice machines, solar charging panels, diesel generators... She seriously doubted that her mother had moved all the usable supplies in the entire base into the space before crossing over.

But in the end, Jiang Wei didn't use the diesel generator either. He probably still felt that the noise from the generator was too loud, much louder than the ice machine.

Although the cellar can mask some sound, using a diesel generator is still too risky. (End of chapter)
