"Can the kang head be hot when it's hottest?" Hong Tao doesn't think that the fire kang is successful, light energy insulation is far from enough, and the temperature must be appropriate, too hot and too cold are failures, and they must be fine-tuned.

“…… We and other vulgar people don't think it's too hot......" Several craftsmen looked at each other, and then raised their calloused hands to look at them, as if they were wondering if the fine skin and tender meat of the horse master would feel hot?

"Well, that is, the kang noodles are a little thin. Come, everyone pry open the adobe of the kang noodles, and then spread a layer of mud, which is one point thicker. ”

In fact, Hong Tao doesn't know how to adjust the temperature, the old man doesn't seem to have done this step at the beginning, and the people are a success, and they don't need to adjust it at all.

But he heard the old man talk about the general method, in fact, there is nothing difficult, when it is hot, make the mud thicker, and when it is cold, make the mud thinner, it's as simple as that.

After three nights of continuous testing, several craftsmen were about to fall asleep, and Hong Tao recognized the temperature of the kang and figured out all kinds of data.

This is the standard in the future, make three or four plates of kang in a house with a large space, and two plates in a smaller house. Before the frost, the flower seedlings in the nursery of the Flying Eagle Society should be transplanted to the kang, and the fire will be set up by a special person every day to keep warm.

"W-This isn't for people to sleep on?"

As soon as I heard that a layer of soil nearly one and a half feet thick was to be laid on the kang surface, and it had to be cooked soil plus some fermented manure, a few old craftsmen finally understood, and it was worth working for so many days, and this thing was used for raising flowers.

"The official family likes this flower...... Hong Tao's answer was very different, and he put the pot on the emperor's head.

At the expense of people's power to pan the kang, but also to burn peat every day for heating, just to raise flowers for fun in winter, what a mediocre emperor!

Then he has no responsibility himself, at most he is a subordinate who obeys others.

In fact, it is useless to do this, and Song Shenzong will not suffer any reputational damage because of this, but Hong Tao is cheap, but he is uncomfortable.

With a successful sample, the rest of the kang does not have to worry about Hong Tao, and the craftsmen will make the kang more detailed as long as they complete the details.

Because the horse said that this skill is a reward for everyone, and after finishing the errand here in the winter, you can go home and put on a kang and then spend a winter on it.

If someone else is willing to pay for them, they can make a lot of money this winter. Hard work is a bit hard, but when don't craftsmen work hard? As long as the effort can be rewarded accordingly, it is worth the hard work.

As for the benevolence and righteousness of the horse master, the craftsmen must also do their errands well, so as not to make the horses difficult to deal with in front of the emperor. Anyway, this basin is a porcelain button.

"Don't, there are rules for everything in the palace, this thing is really easy to use, and the officials are really sympathetic to His Majesty's body, but once something goes wrong, the Horse Mansion will be doomed, and I hope the officials will think twice!"

When he was putting on the emperor's head, the wasp was also listening, still expressionless. But when Hong Tao said that he wanted to find two craftsmen with good skills to go to the palace to make a kang for the emperor, the wasp suddenly stepped forward and whispered to Gao Cuifeng's virtue.

"Good! What Feng said was extremely true, it was the negligence of the officials...... Anyway, the official family should not be cold, and after the fire kang is popularized, there will naturally be craftsmen in the palace to handle this matter, so I'd better not do it too much. ”

Hong Tao listened to the wasp's words, and almost slapped himself with two big mouths. How mysterious, if the eldest brother listens to his kindness, and his brain is also hot and agrees to the matter of Pankang, then he will be blind, which means that he has one more reason to lose his head at any time, and it is all up to his fate to lose it.

It seems that kind-hearted eyes really can't be put around, especially for the royal family, the rules that should be observed must be observed, which is not only to protect the emperor, but also to protect the courtiers.

In the last decade of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, before the frost fell, all the rice sac flower seedlings of more than one acre were transplanted to more than ten halls in Qionglin Garden. On the newly tapped more than 20 plates of fire kang, a batch of flower seeds were planted by Hong Tao.

If it can germinate and grow normally in more than three months in winter, you can plant more seeds after the beginning of spring next year. If these seeds are distributed to designated growers, it should be possible to plant a lot more acres.

In addition, on the west side of Qionglin Garden, a few acres of new seedling land were opened up by the florists, and many saplings about one person high were transplanted in it, all wrapped in straw.

These saplings were ash trees purchased by the imperial court from all over the country, and the gardeners said that the thicker the tree would survive the winter on its own, and even the saplings could be wrapped in straw to ensure survival.

With saplings, what about white wax worms? Actually, they came earlier, just less noticeable. There are a lot of dead branches piled up in the horse pen at the south water's edge, but they are not firewood for the winter, and if you look closely, there are many white filaments in the middle of the branches, which are the cocoons of white wax insects, which are very small and stick to the branches.

Originally, Hong Tao wanted to move these insect cocoons to a room with a fire kang, fearing that they would freeze to death, but the gardeners collectively opposed it. They say that when the temperature is high, the cocoons will hatch in advance, and then these small insects will have no branches and leaves to eat, so they can only feed on rice sac flowers.

Hong Tao deeply believes this statement, nature has the laws of nature, since these white wax insects are so alive in the wild, they should not freeze to death, and they should not worry about the insects.

At this point, several things planned by Hong Tao have basically been completed, the ball equipment of the Flying Eagle Society, the printing business of Bao Huitang are gradually making profits, and the rice sac flower and insect wax making are also making preliminary preparations. As long as the spring flowers bloom next year, you can let go of your hands and feet and do a lot of work.

In the past six months since I came to the Northern Song Dynasty, I have not worked in vain, and my results are a little remarkable.

"Official, don't I have a delicate leather bag? No, Lian'er, go to a cobbler to make one for the official like this, and you won't need to inlay it with gold and silver, but you will have to print these marks. ”

Hong Tao was not complacent because of his achievements, he felt that it was not enough, at least there was one very important thing that he didn't care about doing, so he just took advantage of the winter months to do it.

But before you go, you have to dress up well, put on the new brocade robe, and put on a pair of deerskin boots, and a cloak with a hood, as if there is something missing.

Thinking left and right, I remembered, lack a suitable leather bag. If you ask so much, you can't always carry a cloth bag to carry things, and a delicate and stylish briefcase is still very necessary.

Not only must it be a famous brand. The piece of paper that Lian'er took was not only painted with the shape of the leather bag, but also the brand.

Louis Vuitton and Chanel on the front, Dior and Givenchy on the back. The font is all made of sterling silver, the shiny tile is bright and bright, and the whole big Song is the only one, and it is easy to find it if you lose it.
