Speaking of burnt wood
When I was twelve or thirteen years old, one day my cousin took me to the next village to run an errand to see a man's firewood stack and a pigsty and sheep pen.
Originally, someone introduced the object to the cousin, we were ordered to go to the man's home whether it is a family that is going through the day, the house is a few matchmakers do not dare to lie, but the size of the firewood stack, whether it is regular, the type of firewood, etc. is not paid attention to by ordinary people, but it just represents whether it is one of the indicators of the people who live a life, and now the word is called research, secret visit or information collection, if it does not meet the requirements, it is likely to be yellow.
In fact, rural families cook firewood every day, the types are: wool firewood, that is, the general grass firewood, can not help burning, low heat, mainly do firewood, burning firewood also use a fire stick or fire fork, of course, if your mother burns the fire when you provoke her to be angry, it is possible that this fire fork will become a helper to scare or beat you, which depends on the degree of your dislike and your mother's temper and patience at this time, boys who have not been hit by the fire fork are rarer than the stove Xishi.
There are also various plant poles, sunflower poles, bud rice poles, sorghum poles, soybean poles; branches; stubble, that is, the roots of the whiskers of various crop poles, after the soil is knocked off, harder than the poles, the fire field is hard, such as the stubble of the brown rice, the stubble of the woolly child;
Then there are all kinds of wood Gadas picked up on the mountain, that is, trees and shrubs hazelnuts and other roots, very hard, fire is also particularly hard, such as elm, almond tree Gada and so on.
A few points also have dry cow dung, herders are more numerous, and the Mongolians near their homes rarely live in yurts, but the habit of using dry cow dung for heating and cooking is still retained, the fire is even, tepid and not hot, suitable for slow simmering and boiling milk tea, hand meat, etc.
By the way, a few years ago, a Mongolian doctor chose the topic of the paper on the cleaning and sterilization of cow dung, after burning dry cow dung for more than three years, it will have a killing effect on different germs, so the items in the yurt are clean, even if the refrigerator is not popular in the summer food spoilage is also very small.
The firewood piled up outside is called the stack of firewood. I think my family's firewood stack is one of the best in the tun: three and a half stacks, one is a pile of wool firewood, the other is a pole stack, the third is a dry tree branch stack, and the half stack is a stubble pile. If I were on a blind date in the countryside, I would definitely have a bonus point for this.
The coldest winter will not freeze to death the hard-working poor, and no matter how hard the day, there is happiness and warmth that makes you grin, and some may last a lifetime.
Wool firewood is generally autumn and winter firewood, with firewood rakes, rake curtains, a day can be a car. In the summer, the tomass hits the firewood (after the autumn, otherwise the firewood cannot be burned), and the fire of the wool firewood is easy to ignite, and it can only be used as a primer for other firewood. Just as the so-called people speak softly, so is the fire, so increase their thickness, connotation, accumulation, thick accumulation, cultivation accumulation and refinement.
The average home has a firewood shed to prevent rain and snow from getting the firewood wet.
At that time, adults and children would live a life, on the way to school or play, and when they encountered good branches, wood, and cow dung, they might have to be sent home first, or hidden after school and then taken home.
Go to junior high school to learn "Selling Charcoal" "worried about charcoal and wishing for cold weather", one is to sigh the hardships of the old man, the other is still confused, at that time there was carbon, the royal aristocracy is really shameless and luxurious, in fact, is not the advanced version of firewood.
