In rural areas, everyone uses earthen stoves for daily cooking. After harvesting the crops in the countryside, the straw is useless and has to be burned. Moreover, there are many dead trees in the countryside, and it is convenient to collect firewood. There is also wood left over from building houses before, which can be burned. Compared with liquefied gas, these things don't need to be bought, and the cost performance is still relatively high.
The second point: cooking with firewood is delicious.
As the saying goes: small pot noodles, big pot soup. Especially when cooking porridge, the things cooked with firewood are much more delicious and fragrant than those cooked with liquefied gas. What impressed me most about this small series was the eight-treasure porridge made by grandma, which was delicious. Especially the cauldron stewed on the cauldron, it is simply delicious, and now it makes my mouth water.
The third point: heat preservation.
During the busy farming period, the crops are harvested, planted and watered, and sometimes the family can't take care of eating, so they cook and then cover the pot. The unfinished firewood under the pot can be heated for a period of time, so that the busy family can have a steaming meal when they come back. Compared with electric heating, it is really convenient and practical.
The fourth point: the most crucial point is to burn the kang.
In winter, the warmest place is the kang in the countryside. When I was a child, I liked to sleep on the kang. Because of the cold weather, my grandparents sometimes feel joint pain. As long as they sleep on the kang, they will be very comfortable. Then the most important thing is that you can cook directly on the earthen stove beside the kang, killing two birds with one stone, which is more convenient. Once the kang is burned, the home will be very warm.
