Chapter 282: Chapter 282

Anyway, it doesn’t cost money if it doesn’t work, so the person nodded, reluctantly agreeing.

"Then I’ll give it a try."

Pei Shu’er didn’t care about his attitude, no matter what one does, it’s always the most difficult at the beginning.

She was actually already accustomed to such skepticism.

They unloaded the bricks from the wheelbarrow, and people started to gather around to watch.

But since they were unfamiliar with this type of kang, they could only watch the excitement, having heard that it’s something warmer than fire.

Though they said they were watching for fun, they actually just wanted to see how this person would back down after making big claims.

Pei Shu’er wasn’t afraid they’d steal the method since they didn’t have the blue bricks anyway.

Of course, they could build an earthen kang, but she wouldn’t teach it, so no one could do it.

After the kang was set, Pei Shu’er had someone light the firewood.

Initially, it wasn’t very warm, and the short man became somewhat angry: "Can you do it or not? Is this what you call warmer than fire?"

After all, their house was turned into this state, and they would have to clean it up themselves.

He mumbled, "Had I known, I wouldn’t have done it."

Afterward, he looked at several people’s attitudes rather nastily, especially at Pei Shu’er.

This woman boasted nonsense, where’s the change? Still said warmer than fire, it’s a joke.

"You’ve made my house a mess, you should tidy up my house too."

Pei Shu’er looked at him lightly, then said, "Touch the kang with your hand."

The person curled his lips, reluctantly touched it.

The disdain in his eyes quickly turned to a hint of joy, so warm!

If one were to sleep on top of this, they surely wouldn’t be cold anymore.

It really is quite warmer than fire.

Then he looked at the people present, speaking harshly.

"I don’t think much of this kang, it’s no good, not warmer than fire, hurry up, get lost, don’t be an eyesore in my house."

He really didn’t want to pay, after all, it was said earlier that if he wasn’t satisfied, he didn’t have to give any supplies.

Even if he’s satisfied now, he still had to pretend to be dissatisfied, didn’t he?

Such an obvious thing, everyone actually had seen through it, but no one pointed it out.

Pei Shu’er looked at the crowd from Heqing Dam who came to watch, smiling and greeting them.

"You can come and feel it."

Since this person wanted a free ride, she wouldn’t let him have his way, and at the same time, why not do some advertising?

The short man was initially unwilling, Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "Don’t worry, we won’t charge you."

The man was somewhat happy, and immediately stopped saying anything else.

After everyone had touched it, Pei Shu’er suddenly looked up and spoke to Lin Yu, Lin Hong, and others.

"Let’s take our bricks and leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, others looked at her somewhat strangely.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then stepped forward and smashed the kang.

"The kang isn’t dry now, that’s why it’s not stable, once it’s dry, you’ll know how solid it is, it can support a whole family sleeping on it."

Everyone was a bit tempted by the saying, this thing is genuinely practical, especially suitable for the Gulan Mountain Range.

Pei Shu’er said, "Moreover, it can also keep food warm."

Upon hearing this, the short man couldn’t help but look at Lin Yu’s actions of dismantling the kang, and he was very distressed, frowning.

"What are you doing, Lin Yu, why are you touching my kang? Be careful I’ll sort you out!"

Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "Since you’re not satisfied with this kang, we naturally need to dismantle it, after all, these bricks are quite valuable too. Besides, we never force anyone to do things against their will."

As soon as she said this, everyone noticed that the short man’s face was somewhat twisted, he gritted his teeth and said, "I’m satisfied."

Pei Shu’er smiled, "Then exchange it with supplies."

The man looked around the room, destitute, there was nothing to exchange.

He was struggling to make ends meet himself.

Seeing this, Pei Shu’er smiled, "I think your bunch of wild vegetables isn’t bad."

The short man quickly said, "No way! That’s my food."

Seeing this man determined to dine and dash, Pei Shu’er wasn’t polite anymore.

"Take our bricks out, and remember not to damage the walls."

The short man regretted a lot, watching the kang being dismantled more and more, he grew anxious.

"I can exchange a third of it!"

As soon as he said this, Lin Yu and the others dismantled it faster, a third of the wild vegetables, trying to dismiss a beggar?

The Young Madam said exchanging for that bundle of wild vegetables was already giving him face. Otherwise, such a small bundle of wild vegetables, was it worth everyone’s hard work for half a day?

Not to mention, there were also these blue bricks.

Truly taking advantage and still acting smart, this kind of person was the most displeasing.

Others also saw the benefits of this kang, now the room was warm, no longer cold and damp as before.

Everyone hurriedly went to find Pei Shu’er, for a moment, she was surrounded by people.

"Miss Pei, our family also wants a kang, could you make one for us?"

"Our family wants one too, we have a young boy who’s weak and can’t stand the cold, Miss Pei, make ours first?"

Pei Shu’er smiled, "What do you have to exchange?"

It seems her advertising wave was quite successful.

Everyone quickly listed their advantages, and Pei Shu’er selected a few families, and had Lin Yu and others go make the kangs.

Very soon, with the whole of Heqing Dam having heated kangs, everyone wore smiles, and the worries on their faces dissipated a lot.

The kangs are warm, so there’s no worry about getting through winter.

As for those without kangs, they raised their offers, and Pei Shu’er then selected a few more families.

In the end, the conditions everyone offered were those that people in the Deserted Mountain were satisfied with.

As for the short man, looking at his restored home, he heavily slapped himself once.

He was used to freeloading, didn’t he know what kind of person Pei Shu’er was?

Pei Shu’er and the others then went to Short-legged Valley, where the supplies were relatively abundant.

The people here were all nice and easy to get along with, and soon everything was agreed upon, and they began building the kangs.

As dusk fell, Pei Shu’er took her people back.

The reputation of the kang spread quickly in the Gulan Mountain Range, especially when others were nearly freezing to death, those with kangs enjoyed a warm winter. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵

The existence of the kangs seemed even more wonderful and extraordinary.

Those who had kangs were as warm as spring, while those without kangs endured a harsh winter.

Moreover, people also realized that the charges by those in the Deserted Mountain weren’t high, just at a regular level.

Their craftsmanship was excellent, one could say those who missed out would regret it.

So initially, it was the people from the Deserted Mountain going door to door selling, but later, those people came to the Deserted Mountain to invite them over.

Looking at the towering city gate of the Deserted Mountain, these people dared not enter, only waiting outside.

Seeing the people from the Deserted Mountain coming out, everyone quickly went forward to greet them, pulling them to their respective territories.

Pei Shu’er picked a few people from Yuhua Valley, bringing enough men with her, heading toward those territories.

While others were making the kangs, those who couldn’t made a living by hunting or collecting wild vegetables nearby.

The harvest of the day far exceeded that of the previous days.

Perhaps having a reputation truly made things easier.
