Repair forging hearth or change the windows
Cooker has come a long way, twenty years ago were forging hearth and coal furnace, and now are liquefied petroleum gas cooker and induction cooker. The forging hearth is made of mud, easily to be broken. Thus, repairing them is a common thing.
The afternoon was a proper time to repair forging hearth as it would take three to four hours to be dry and wouldn’t delay supper.
Some repair men would use a dolly; the other would shoulder a bamboo crate, with a pail of mud. The mud is unusual, working as the main material to repair the hearth.
