This statement immediately aroused the interest of more people.

"Is there really such a good thing? Come on, lead the way and go take a look."

When the villagers gathered around the construction site one after another, they found that it was already a bustling scene.

Everyone watched and discussed it.

"It looks like it's easy to learn. I'll go back and try to see if I can make the same one."

"I have to say that the Song family is truly selfless. They made this great idea public so that everyone can benefit from it."

An old man sighed.

"Yes, yes, you see, they are very generous. You will know how to do it just by looking at it. This way, you can save the money needed to buy a bed!"

The other young man nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, it seems that the Song family in our village is going to suffer a huge loss this time! Because I had originally planned to ask them to help me customize a beautiful big bed in a while, but now not only have all the plans gone down the drain, I even saved the labor costs, haha..." The middle-aged man standing behind the crowd suddenly said with a smile.

Villagers came and went, staying at the scene for a long time before slowly leaving.

All of this was seen by the eldest son of the Song family.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown and whispered a suggestion to his father.

"Dad, do you think we need to keep this a secret? After all, if everyone masters this skill, then our future income from teaching techniques or helping people build kangs will definitely be affected."

The mother who was helping out at the side immediately stopped what she was doing and glared at him in dissatisfaction when she heard her son say that.

"What do you mean it's so easy to learn? Even though your father possesses both blacksmithing and carpentry skills, I still haven't taught you anything serious even though I've been teaching you every day."

As he said this, he grabbed a piece of dirt beside him and threw it directly at him.

Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but express her deep admiration for her mother-in-law's words.

"Brother, our mother is right, don't worry."

Jiang Jinhe said firmly, "Although building a kang looks simple, there are many things to consider. If it's not done right, not only will the entire kang collapse, but even if you light a fire, it won't be able to heat it properly."

After hearing this, Song Dacheng smiled naively and responded sincerely, "Third sister-in-law is right. I was just overthinking it. It turns out there's so much to learn here."

When they thought that someone would come to them to help build the kang soon and that it would bring in a lot of extra income, the entire Song family was suddenly filled with energy and anticipation.

After two days, through everyone's hard work, the Song family's house was finally completed.

A total of seven rooms were built: including four larger bedrooms, a small room, a practical kitchen and a storage space.

Among them, four of the more spacious rooms are allocated as follows: the most respected old mother, Aunt Song, has her own room; the hardworking and down-to-earth father, Song Yuanmu, occupies a room alone; the sensible and capable eldest son and his wife share a warm little nest; the lively and clever second son and his wife also have their own independent space; as for the newlyweds who just entered the marriage hall - Jiang Jinhe and Song Wenqin, they were lucky enough to each get a bridal room as their own little world.

The remaining two slightly more compact cottages were given to the unmarried girls in the family. The gentle and virtuous eldest daughter Song Yuyu and her two lovely younger sisters Xiaocao lived together and took care of each other.

In order to ensure that every family member can spend a warm and comfortable winter, sturdy and durable earthen kangs are carefully installed in all living spaces.

Next comes one of the most critical steps: lighting up the hidden "heart" inside each earthen kang - the process of burning wood for heating.

In fact, this is not a complicated thing to do.

There are natural fuel resources such as dry branches and leaves everywhere around, and just picking up some will be enough to meet your needs.

Simply pop them into the hearth and light a flame to generate heat quickly.

As a result, raging fires like dazzling lights broke out simultaneously on the earthen kangs set up in six different directions, and in less than a week, the entire Song Mansion was dried out from the inside out.

At this critical moment when late autumn is gradually transitioning to cold winter, stepping into such an environment filled with spring warmth is really refreshing and makes people feel happy and peaceful.

The news spread quickly and soon spread throughout the village.

People who had previously been confident in building their own projects but had been frustrated came in and asked for help in solving the problem.

A villager, worried and anxious, asked for help: "Old Song, could you please come over and help us check what we did wrong? Our kang won't light no matter what we do, and I really don't know what's causing it."

Another person with a helpless look on his face followed closely and asked anxiously, "And the earthen kang in my house is even more outrageous. As soon as someone stood on it, it collapsed immediately. It's really a headache!"

The third person frowned and complained, "My problem is slightly better by comparison. At least the structure is relatively stable. But no matter how hard I try, I can't get it to emit the warmth it should. I can't even produce the most basic spark..."

Finally, a young man, sweating profusely, uttered in despair, "Oh my God! Our situation is probably the worst. After finally lighting it successfully, we found smoke everywhere, and it almost caused the whole house to be engulfed in flames!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Jinhe, who was smart, quick-witted, kind and generous, immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to use his professional skills to solve the villagers' problems while also creating certain economic benefits. So he did not hesitate to put forward the request that he could solve the problems for everyone but that his labor should not be in vain.

"A small kang for one person costs five taels of silver. If you want a larger kang suitable for two people to sleep on, you'll need to pay eight taels of silver. And for each additional bed, you'll have to pay an additional three taels of silver."

"If you're interested in this, please book one as soon as possible, as the cold winter is approaching! Building a kang not only saves you money on other furniture but also reduces the amount of coal used for winter heating, saving you money. More importantly, the comfort and warmth it provides are unparalleled, making it an excellent value for money."

“Although the mattress placed on it may gradually wear out or even be damaged due to daily use.
