Chapter 012 Let the patriarch move bricks

he more people don't understand the field, the more blindly optimistic and over-confident. Xiao Yun soon discovered that he had stepped into this blind zone. When he dug the foundation and was ready to enter the next process, he realized that... Digging the mud at the bottom of the river was not easy.

In autumn, the water surface of the river is shallow and the water flows slowly, but it is a river after all, a river that is 20 meters wide when the water is shallow in autumn.

Standing on the bank of the river, carrying a self-made baskets, staring blankly at the water for a few minutes, realizing that he was still too naive, Xiao Yun remembered a song in his mind that 'The autumn wind blows, the autumn water flows'... …

Turning his head stiffly to look at Oxhorn, Xiao Yun tried his best to keep his face from being too distorted: "Well...we need a lot of sposh, the mud that has been soaked in water. Are there any dry ponds or shallow swamps around here?"

Oxhorn thought about it seriously, nodded, and then took Xiao Yun to the south of the tribe for about an hour, and saw irregularly distributed swamp water appear among the lush grass...　　

The big claws of Oxhorn stretched out again and holding down Xiao Yun's shoulders, he solemnly said, "You can't go there." Xiao Yun turned around and walked away. Picking up the mud from such a far place to pour the foundation, so it's better to dig the soil and mix sposh by himself!

After wasting a little time, the great cause of building houses once again started from self-reliance. It was still digging near the riverbank where mud bricks were made, buckets of water and mud, and straw and reed poles were mixed in... 　　

After a busy day, just He probably finished the foundation of the long mud brick house. The next day, Xiao Yun checked the hardness of the foundation. He felt that he should wait for it to dry out before starting work, so he continued to drag Oxhorn to make bricks--considering the failed experience to get the thin mud before, he can't expect to find thin stone slabs on the grassland to replace cement slabs, so he has to prepare wider mud bricks in advance to replace the cement slabs for the heatable bed in the house.

The mud bricks used to build the house are made by Xiao Yun that are slightly shorter than elbows, wider palms, and as thick as fists.

The mud bricks used to build the heatable bed's surface cannot be of this size. He once again used his junior high school students' numerical knowledge. After writing and painting for a long time, considering the hardness and load-bearing capacity of the mud bricks, Xiao Yun did not increase the length of the new mud brick mold, but only increased the width and thickness by about one-third each.

As a southerner, Xiao Yun has never seen a heatable bed in his real life on the earth, but there is a magical mobile phone app called Tikdok in modern society. When he was bored, Xiao Yun had not only seen truck drivers talking about the mountains and crew on the Yellow River on Tiktok. Fishing, I have also seen master masons in the northeast streaming how to build a heatable bed...

This kind of redundant boring knowledge is not qualified for conversation in modern society, and it has a great effect in this evil alien world.

As a southerner, Xiao Yun has never seen a heatable bed in his real life on the earth, but there is a magical mobile phone app called Tikdok in modern society. When he was bored, Xiao Yun had not only seen truck drivers talking about the mountains and crew on the Yellow River on Tiktok. Fishing, I have also seen master masons in the northeast streaming how to build a heatable bed...

This kind of redundant boring knowledge is not qualified for conversation in modern society, and it has a great effect in this evil alien world.

Needless to say, the working ability of the Snow Werewolf, Xiao Yun walked two back and forth, approximately at least twenty miles of distance. The Snow Werewolf can run once half an hour with his legs open. In order to prevent the mud from wasting on the road, Xiao Yun could not but deepen the depth of manual burden...Don't even think about making carts, Xiao Yun doesn't have the skill to make wheels by hand.

The swamp silt is mixed with yellow clay and then mixed into the cut grass and reeds. This kind of adhesive is definitely not as good as cement, but it is better than nothing. Xiao Yun also knows that earthen cement cannot be separated from lime. The problem is that he There is no place to find it. Anyway, I don't expect the mud-brick house to last for many years, and it doesn't need too strong anti-corrosion performance. Just go...　

Wall, this technique is completely hopeless for digging the foundation. Good stuff. At this time, the women in the clan showed their talents. With the help of the grass rod and the boulders as the auxiliary line, Fleece and the two adult Snow Werewolf females assigned to Xiao Yun by the patriarch could build the wall straight. When the walls were relatively straight, they also noticed the fun of playing games in the process of building the walls, and they enjoyed it very much.

The mud-brick house designed by Xiao Yun is a rectangle with a length of 12 meters and a width of 5 meters. Considering that more tribes can be warmed on a snowy day, the area of the heatable bed in the house is half, and the large stove that makes the fire is in the house. The smoke vent is outside the house; the heatable bed surface made of bricks is not as strong as the one-piece cement board, which has high strength and long life. However, Xiao Yun did not expect this thing to last for many years anyway...

After two days of work, the four walls leaving the gate, the exhaust vent, the top ventilation window and the inclined plane of the beam were completed. The brilliant (...unmistakable) artificial creation caused quite a stir among the people, although Xiao Yun repeatedly emphasized that Don't touch the wall until it's dry. There are still countless people who secretly use their fingers to poke the mud brick wall while he is not paying attention...　　

The mud brick house cannot be installed on the beams. The bean sprouts that have been buried in the bean sprout pit for five or six days are fine. After eating, when Xiao Yun uncovered the animal skin and reed cover, even the patriarch couldn't help running out to watch the fun.

Anyone who has experience in grocery shopping knows that bean sprouts with a length of six to eight centimeters are the most tender and crispy, but Xiao Yun has not really made bean sprouts after all and has little experience. The first batch of bean sprouts are all ten centimeters in length, and the taste is a little too old. ...But this is not important. The wild vegetables near the tribe have been greatly reduced after many days of wild vegetables collection. The new bean sprouts can supplement the demand for wild vegetables, which is enough for the Snow Werewolf.

A hundred catties of bean sprouts came out from the bean sprouts pit. The patriarch confirmed with Xiao Yun five times that he had poured into the pit only a small half bag of black beans. The look in his eyes was almost the same as that of his first love, making Xiao Yun all born. The goose bumps of the patriarch—it's not that the patriarch is too ugly. The snow werewolves who are not alive to old age are young and mature before they put themselves in trouble. If you ignore the body odor and hygiene issues, the patriarch actually looks pretty good; the key to the problem is that, without the original owner's memory, Xiao Yun could not tell the male and female of the snow werewolf...If the two adult females of the snow werewolf that wash their face and body clean,they must handsome. Had they not tell their gender to Xiao Yun, he would certainly not know whether they were male or female at all.

Bean sprouts are known as the poor people's partner. It is cheap and delicious at the same time. Twenty catties of bean sprouts are boiled in four pots of boiled meat soup with a little salt. The boiled bean sprouts are more delicious than wild vegetables. ——Of course, boiled bean sprouts are still added with wild vegetables. Xiao Yun also compulsory to add plantain and purslane in the wild vegetables. Both of these can prevent dysentery and diarrhea. Only the snow werewolves can wash their hands before eating. No matter whether they are old or not, they must be forced to eat.

After having a meal of bean sprouts, without Xiao Yun persuading the patriarch, he offered to dig another bean sprout pit, and discussed the preservation time and daily consumption of bean sprouts (Snow Werewolf pays attention to dinner and eats casually during the day. Xiao Yun thinks this is on the grassland.

During the long winter, the Snow Werewolf found that it is not easy to fight against the habit of cold nights without eating. The two people discussed only adding one to the original bean sprout pit on the river bank, and alternately using it-daily consumption of 20~30 catties In the case of bean sprouts, it doesn't make sense to increase more pits. If there are too many bean sprouts, you can only waste it. There is no market on the grassland to sell bean sprouts.

As for Xiao Yun, the cub was able to discuss with the patriarch about such a weird phenomenon as deciding important events in the tribe... The other snow werewolves didn't envy this sense at all. Instead, they surrounded Xiao Yun and asked what's wrong with the mud brick house, when can it be used....

Compared to the rough nerves of the Snow Werewolf, Sal's reaction was greater. Of course, when Xiao Yun entered Sal's tent at the night, this guy didn't even dare to look in Xiao Yun's direction, and walked inner of the tent and sit opposite of Xiao Yun, it like Xiao Yun had poison and would kill him.

After waiting for the mud brick wall to dry out for two days, Xiao Yun led Oxhorn and two adult snow werewolf females to replenish black beans in the original bean sprout pit and dig a new bean sprout pit. After they finishing the digging progress, accompanied by an adult snow werewolves, Xiao Yun rushed to the primitive jungle to the west of the tribe again. His reason was to find materials to press on the roof. This thing must be done now. As for the other... well, it is incidental thing.

But how...even if he was accompanied by three adult snow werewolves, he was still not allowed to enter the jungle, and could only wander around the periphery of the forest...　

Thinking about the dangers of the primitive jungle, Xiao Yun didn't bother to argue anymore, anyway. There are hopes to find new treasures in his scope, and he can wait for at most two years as an adult to explore further.

Not to mention, birds are indeed the great contributors to the spread of species in the primitive environment. After just wandering around the forest for more than half an hour, Xiao Yun was pleasantly surprised to find the hairy chestnut-the tiny shelled fruit wrapped in the needle-shaped sphere. , The shell is quite hard. Xiao Yun, who didn't recognize the hairy chestnut tree, found it only when he stepped on the hairy chestnut ball that fell on the ground.

Xiao Yun remembered that the hairy chestnut grew in the south, and he didn't know what kind of large birds brought the hairy chestnut seeds to the grassland and jungle in the cold temperate zone. This thing is also loved by birds. Most of them hang on the branches. It was eaten by a bird, and all that fell to the ground are still there.　　

The snow werewolves also knew that hairy chestnut could be eaten, but they probably thought that it was too troublesome to eat. When Xiao Yun told them to collect the chestnuts, they were a little lacking in interest... Except Oxhorn, this guy wasn't picky on food.　　

After picking up about four or five catties of chestnuts, he came across a pine tree. Needless to say, the pine cones hanging on the tree and the pine cones that fell on the ground were packed.

After picking up the pine cone, Xiao Yun also encountered a few wild fruit trees that Xiao Yun did not know, and he became more interested in this snow wolf man. Unfortunately, the pulpy wild fruit is the staple food of birds, and 70 to 80% of the wild fruit hanging on the branches

There is only an empty shell. What surprised Xiao Yun most was that he found wild garlic... This thing is also very common on the earth. It has a very wide range of wild. It is called allium macrostemon in the ancient Chinese. Southerners call it bitter garlic. It has a special bitter taste and garlic fragrance. Chinese medicine think of it as a warming and tonic medicine. In Xiao Yun's hometown, he likes to use bitter garlic for cold dressing and stir-fry, as a condiment. In addition to fishy, seasoning and warming, Xiao Yun saw the designation and couldn't let it go.(This paragraph is Xiao Yun's memory of his life in the earth)　　

After they collecting wild garlic, and their luck seemed to be almost used. Or maybe there are countless delicious foods outside of this forest, but Xiao Yun doesn't know...

It was like this for an afternoon, after harvesting 40 to 50 kilograms of wild fruit and wild garlic, the group chopped the required wood and returned to the tribe. On the way, Oxhorn saw a family of wild boars swaying on the grassland, and he chasing them quickly... …However, the wild boar also spotted the few snow werewolves early, and they ran away fast, Oxhorn did not catch up.

After waiting patiently for two days, the swamp silt-based adhesive did not disappoint, and the solidified mud brick wall was quite solid... As long as the snow werewolf didn't change back to a wolf-shaped brute force collision, Xiao Yun felt that it would be insist to use a few years.　　

Xiao Yun didn't rush to get the roof. The first, the wood needs to be dried, and the other is that the ventilating surface of the heatable bed is more big can be dried more quickly.

This day Xiao Yun asked Oxhorn and the others to bring the silt to prepare for building the heatable beds. The patriarch, who had always guarded the cattle and sheep, did not go to the pasture for the first time, he insist to stay and help. Xiao Yun thought that it was a good thing to have multiple labors, so he bluntly... ...asked the patriarch go to move bricks. The baskets made of vines and straws is fine to bring muddy mud, but bring mud bricks is difficult. Moving the bricks from the bank of the river to the tribe can only be carried out with both hands. It is not tiring for the Snow Werewolf, but it takes time.

Two kinds of bricks are used for building a heatable bed. One is the normal specification, the other is the widened and thickened specification. Xiao Yun roughly marked the position of the heatbale bed on the mud floor in the house, and started to build the big stove--this is no difficult for him. He had saw it in his uncle's hometown where was the countryside, this one does need high skill to build the big stove, it just needs you have strength.

The big stove and the heatable bed are integrated. The big stove base is on the left side of the house. There is a smoke hole at the jiont between the stove body and the heatable bed, and the hot smoke from the sobe is inteoduced into heatable bed. This is the principle of the heatable bed heating. The heatable bed is for people to sit on it, which requires stength. In the heatable bed, ordinary bricks are used to build the flue, so that the heat transfer on the heatable bed surface can be more nuiform, and the heatable bed surface can be sidpersed.

Xiao Yun built a squre big stove, and he could ask several female snow werewolves to help when setting up the flue inside the heatable bed.

The so--called flue is a design in which a channel is built inside the heatable bed the hot smoke from the large stove is rotated inside the heatable bed, and the heat is transferred to the heatable bed's surface, and then discharged from the smoke outlet. In short, it is create a simple mud brick labyrinth inside the heatable bed, with the entrance and exit being the same way...The ancient Chinese peasants who didn't know what mathematics, physics and chemistry, but they know how to bulid the heatable beds from their experiences.

Because what Xiao Yun wants to do a heatable bed is similar to side by side to sleep a lot of people in a room, so it can not build the back-shaped flue, he only choose the straight hole type, that is, four parallel flues simultaneously conduct heat transmission and them send the flue gas out of the house; The straight hole-style heatable bed consumes more heat energy than the back--shaped flue, and is not so energy-eddicient, but anyway, the heatable bed of this big side by side bed style is originally shared by the tribe and is not included in the family, so he doesn't consider whether it is waste the energy.

After building the flue,and then he needs to pave a layer of sloped loess inside the heatable bed, and to pave a layer of crushed stones to different sizes. The focus is to leave space where the heat transfer from the large stomve comes in and the smoke outlet. And let the hot air moving in the flue as far as possible to transmit to the position of the heatable bed sruface to provide heat, among them, the paved stones also have the function of maintaining heat.

In fact, it's fine to say that after building the project inside the heatable bed, and then he will pave the wide sticks on the heatable bed surface...

He has to seal the heatable bed surface with marsh silt verxion of soil cement to ensure that there is no smoke leakage in the house...

The heatable bed similar to saide by saide big beds spent half a day, after waiting two more days for the surface of the heatable bed to dry, Xiao Yun tried to burn the big stove once to check the heat transfer performance of the heatable bed.

The hot smoke in the large stove enters the heatable bed and passes through the vertical flue. During the flow of the smoke, part of the heat energy is absorbed by the crushed stones, part is transmitted to the heatable bed sruface, and part of the heat energy is passed out to the outside of the house. As the smoke vent is lost, the straight-hole-style heatable bed is wasted the heat energy on it. It cannot retain the heat as effectively as possible, but this is enough. The fire in the lafge stove has been burning for about ten minutes, and Xiao Yun lightly pressed on the heatable bed surface and his hand felt warm.

"Great, it is finished." Xiao Yun waved his fist and his hard work for so many days was finally fruit.

Then he saw Fleece rushing in the house with a panic face, making incoherent gestures to express something happend outside ...

Xiao Yun followed Fleece out of the house to take a look... Well, the smoke that filled the tribe was not only frightened the Fleece. but Sal, who had been hiding in the tent, was shocked as well, half of his head was exposed and probed there... Damn it! He forgot to build an upward chimney at the smoke flue.
