273. Baking room and board fees_1

Song Tan felt increasingly that something was odd:

"Wait a minute."

"Grandpa, aren't you guys building a stove?"

Only then did Song Youde smile, "With such large tobacco leaves, how can you bake them on a stove? You can't spread them out."

"I'm building a taller baking room; we'll take it slow, I'm not in a rush, Grandpa."

Darn it, by comparing like that, Song Tan realized, they actually wanted to build a small room two meters tall!

A four-square room tightly sealed, with just an opening at the bottom for burning coal.

Indeed, to ensure the temperature and finesse, they wouldn't even use firewood at the bottom; Song Youde was even planning to haul coal instead.

Coal burns longer and the temperature doesn't fluctuate wildly; it's advantage is its stability.
