Why do farmers in Tujia mountain area like to bake firewood in winter?

Whenever winter comes, people in different areas and living conditions will adopt different heating methods accordingly. Most people living in cities use geothermal energy, the heating quality is very good, and the whole house will warm up. However, people living in rural areas basically use coal-fired stoves to keep warm, and a few people will use electric stoves. However, like farmers in Tujia mountain area, they live in very remote areas, and it is not easy to obtain coal and electricity resources, so they bake firewood to keep warm. Nowadays, the country has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to improve their present situation, but local people still like to use firewood to keep warm, which must have their own reasons. In the minds of the older generation, thrift is very important. Before winter, you can go up the mountain to cut firewood, and in winter, you can burn these firewood to keep warm. These are all very affordable fuels. Children who are away from home will go home to prepare for the New Year at this time. The elderly are very much looking forward to such a happy atmosphere when the family gathers together to keep warm.

In addition, you can do many necessary things while warming yourself by the fire. In Tujia area, people here will follow a custom, that is, they will kill pigs every New Year to celebrate the New Year. In order to keep pork for a long time so that it can be eaten in the new year, people there are used to making pork into bacon. After repeated smoking, the preserved bacon can be preserved for a longer time, so as to be better preserved and ensure the best taste when used. However, while warming the fire, the smoked bacon will be ready with the heating. There are also some people who like to put a few sweet potatoes in the fire, and when people are warming up, they can also taste delicious baked sweet potatoes, which is simply too happy!

while saving and enjoying delicious food, the most important thing is safety. Be sure to put everything that is easy to cause fire away, otherwise, once a fire is caused, it will be incalculable.
