If there are children or women at home, they can light a clay pot in the main room, add some firewood, and roast sweet potatoes, but I have never heard of boiling water.

　　”If you want to put the iron pot on the brazier, you need to make a rack. It has to be made of iron. You have to go to the town to get it.” said Li Da.

　　It burns the kang all day long and at night, which is just waste firewood.

　　When his son-in-law said this, Li Da’s mind started to move. He had a rough idea and thought it was okay. This brazier was small and he didn’t need it. He could just put it in Zhou Zhou’s room or under Gu Zhao’s desk.

　　Gu Zhao put down his meal and said, “Dad, I’m talking about a small brazier or a clay stove? I wonder if there is one.” In fact, in modern times, the honeycomb coal stove is very good, but stoves are easy to make and coal is scarce.

　　It can be improved.

　　It’s an enlarged version of the small clay stove used for hot pot.

　　”The stove you are talking about, is it the stove for cooking in the kitchen? Make a smaller one?” Li Da reacted and realized that this was easy to do. He could build it himself, and Zhou Zhou could do it too. But if you built it in the main room and lit a fire, there would be a lot of smoke and it would be irritating.

　　Gu Zhao said it was about the same idea, but it should be smaller and easier to hold.

　　”Dad, husband, let’s eat first. After we’re done, husband can talk slowly.” Li Zhouzhou said.

　　Gu Zhao was thinking about the heating stove and listened to his wife. He finished his meal in no time, went quickly into the house, took out a piece of paper that had been written on one side, and then drew a rough pattern on the back.

　　”It looks like a medicine furnace, but it’s enlarged.” Li Zhouzhou recognized it at a glance. It wasn’t quite like the original, but it was almost the same.

　　Uncle Wang uses this to decoct medicine for Xiaotian.

　　It is important to cook medicine over low heat, so the stove is small. But my husband’s painting is so big that the matching medicine jars cannot fit on it, so we have to burn a bigger one.

　　”Zhou Zhou, you are so smart.” Gu Zhao praised sincerely.

　　Things like stoves are not difficult, but folk craftsmen have figured them out. Villagers also have their own particularities. It is a medicine stove for decocting medicine. It is unlucky to have such a thing at home. Didn’t you see that Xiaotian’s grandmother put a medicine stove at home when she took medicine, and she has never stopped doing so since then. Now it has been passed on to Xiaotian.

　　Everyone avoids these.

　　In addition, there are many people in each household in the village, so cooking is faster on a big stove. The fire in a small stove can be very frustrating. As for heating, a clay pot is the same, and it is more convenient, easier to use and cheaper.

　　So no one thought about it this way, it wasn’t because of anything Gu Zhao had done.

　　They already have it.

　　”My husband, if you want this, I’ll go ask tomorrow when the snow stops. It seems there is a bricklayer in Shili Village.” Li Zhouzhou said.

　　Since he was a child, he was cursed for having a broom’s fate, being unlucky, and being the one who brought death to his father. He had originally been avoiding these bad things, but when he saw that his husband really wanted it, especially that his husband wanted both him and his father to keep warm, he realized that this was his husband’s intention.

　　Li Zhouzhou didn’t think about anything else.

　　”I’ll go. The road is hard to walk on in the snow. I know people there and it’s convenient and easy to talk to.” Li Da made the final decision.
