Volume 1: Settling Down the Tang Dynasty Chapter 173: Lime Kiln

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Rou Niang's worried eyes, Yaya and Sizi were extremely excited, and most importantly, under Li Feng's guarantee.  Yaya, a child, has officially become a preparatory teacher at Jianghu Village Preparatory Primary School.  This sudden incident made Yaya unable to sleep well for several days.

    Originally, Li Feng didn¡¯t intend to trouble anyone with the matter of transplanting rice seedlings.  But unexpectedly, the villagers all came the next day.  Within one day, the more than ten acres of paddy field were finished.  His reason is very simple and very strong.

    "Yaya is a teacher, how can he be too tired? If he is exhausted, who will teach the students?"

    Li Feng didn¡¯t expect that the benefits would come even before he became a teacher.  If this is the case, it would be a big deal.  Looking at Xiao Yaya's current popularity and prestige in the village, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh, the teachers in ancient times were just good, respected by others, and had a lot of face.

    It is said that one minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.  In order for Xiao Yaya to complete this task perfectly.  Li Feng is not idle at all. He has too much preparation work to do.

    "Teaching materials, don't worry about this. The Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames are all ready-made.  Moreover, right away, Chinese Pinyin must be taught.  There is plenty of time for Li Feng to slowly consider this follow-up textbook.  Therefore, this matter can not be considered now.

    In addition to teaching materials, there are also teaching equipment.  If we follow the characteristics of this era and add a ruler to the basics, we'll be done.  Then, the teacher would shake his head and recite a sentence above, and the students would recite a sentence below until they were familiar with it and memorized it.

    In Li Feng¡¯s opinion, this kind of teaching method is certainly not feasible and is a bit too deceptive.  Not only are teachers tired, but students are even more tired. The most important thing is that they are inefficient.  Otherwise, it would not have appeared. The ancients studied the Four Books and Five Classics for more than ten years, and they did not even understand it thoroughly.  If this were changed to modern times, a book with tens of thousands of words would be nothing.

    Although there are other factors involved in this, it also shows that the teaching methods and teaching methods in ancient times were really bad.

    Teaching is a comprehensive activity that requires students to move their mouths, eyes, ears, brains, and hands. Just relying on the same thing will definitely not work.  Among them, the most important one is the visual sense.

    "I said, little madman, what are we going to do? The brick kiln you built is not a brick kiln, and the tile kiln is not like a tile kiln. What on earth are you trying to burn?"

    In the brick-burning place in the village, Li Feng and Zhao Dazhu, together with Xiaohu and several villagers, after half a day of work, dug out a strange thing on the edge of a slope.

    From the top of the view, this is a large circular well with a diameter of almost three meters. The circular well is dug from the top of the slope to the bottom of the slope and is four to five meters deep.  However, when the circular well reached the bottom, the space suddenly became much larger.  In addition, there is a short passage at the height of a person that leads to the outside.

    Zhao Dazhu is an expert in making tiles, bricks, and porcelain. When he saw the shape, he was sure that this was a kiln.  However, he didn't understand what this strange kiln was used for.

    "Haha, Uncle Dazhu, this is a lime kiln, used to burn lime."

    Looking at the completed lime kiln, Li Feng felt so happy in his heart.  He had wanted to burn this lime for a long time. After all, it would be needed for building houses in the future.  Now we happened to encounter a place where lime was used, so we invited Zhao Dazhu and others together, and several people worked hard to complete the lime kiln.

    This kind of lime kiln is the simplest lime kiln.  There are many such lime kilns in Li Feng's hometown, but they have long been abandoned.  They were all created in those days when people were eating from one big pot in order to find something to do in their free time, increase production and income, and become self-sufficient.

    ??Except for the previous generation and children like Li Feng who have been tough since childhood, many people have never seen this kind of antique thing.  As for the next generation, the new generation of children, they haven¡¯t even heard of it.

    "Lime kiln? That's where lime is burned. I've only heard of gypsum, not lime. What is this lime and what is its use?"

    After Li Feng finished speaking, Zhao Dazhu, Xiaohu and the others all looked at Li Feng.  They really had never heard of what this lime was.

    "The method of making this lime is actually similar to that of gypsum. They are both made with stone. However, the gypsum is made with gypsum stone, while the lime can be made with ordinary stone. In addition, they also have  One difference is that it is easier to burn gypsum, but it takes at least three days and three nights to burn lime. As for what it is used for, you will know after it is burned."

    Li Feng knew they were competingI was confused, so I briefly explained what this lime was.  As for what it is used for, explaining it is a bit troublesome.  So Li Feng didn't bother to explain.

    "Use ordinary stones to burn for three days and three nights. No wonder this thing is called lime. In this way, not all the stones will be burned to ash. Brother-in-law, what should we do next? Does this burning lime also need to be burned?  Charcoal. This seems to be a bit much."

    When Xiaohu heard that it had to be burned for three days and three nights, he finally understood what lime was. Isn't it just to burn the stone into ashes?  As for what the stones were used for after being burned to ashes, he didn't care. Anyway, if Li Feng said it was useful, then it was useful.  For other old masters, it takes several years to teach a student.  Look at this brother-in-law, he taught Yaya to be a teacher in two or three months.

    "Well, yes, little madman, in this case, we need a lot of charcoal. Otherwise, I will go back and call some people, and let's burn more charcoal first."

    When Zhao Dazhu heard this, he quickly spoke.  These three days and three nights will require a lot of charcoal.

    "Haha, Uncle Dazhu, don't be so troublesome. Wait, Xiaohu will follow me to get rocks. Uncle Dazhu, you take the rest of the people to get firewood. We don't need charcoal, just use firewood. The firewood will be dry.  It doesn¡¯t matter, the key is to do more.¡±

    This burnt lime does not need to use any charcoal at all, just use firewood.  Make the fire bigger or smaller, the temperature higher or lower, it won't make any difference at all.

    "You don't need charcoal, you told me earlier. If you need firewood and don't care whether it's dry or raw, that's not simple. Aren't the mountains and plains all covered with trees? It's too simple."

    When Zhao Dazhu and the others heard that charcoal was not used, they immediately became less worried. Wouldn¡¯t it be easy to go directly to the mountain to chop firewood?

    "That's good, Xiaohu, let's go home with me to get the guy. Let's go smash rocks. Well, after we get back, we have to call Xiaohei. This guy's strength cannot be wasted. Besides,  "This guy hasn't worked for a long time. He needs to be given some exercise to prevent him from getting too fat."

    After the division of labor was completed, Li Feng immediately took Xiaohu into action.  But before that, he had to go home and get his big hammer.  At the same time, of course he will not forget Xiao Hei, the super truck.  However, if his reason were to be known to Xiao Hei, he would still roll his eyes.

    Is it possible that if people hunt every day, it is not considered a sport?
