Chapter 111: People are incomparable

The air in the early morning after the rain is exceptionally fresh, but it has an earthy smell, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Su Meng originally planned to go hunting today, but when she saw the red glow in the sky, she changed her plan.

As the saying goes, the red clouds in the morning fall into the water at night, and the red clouds in the evening will kill ghosts. This proverb means that it will rain that day, so don't go out.

So Su Meng gritted her teeth and decided to continue to build the house with all her strength today. The earth house must be completely built before it rains, so as to be worthy of their hard work and sweat these days.

Zhang Lin and Bo Jing resumed their old business today - digging holes around the camp, Su Xiang was responsible for transporting the clay up, while Su Meng and Du Jiayue were in charge of mixing the clay.

Su Meng and Du Jiayue evenly sprinkled the dried thatch on the clay, and then stepped on it with bare feet, stepping on the dried thatch into the clay bit by bit.

Su Meng said before that adding dry thatch to the clay is mainly to increase its tensile strength, which is similar to adding steel bars to concrete.

Because the plant fiber is very tensile, and this can also play a very good role in stabilizing, even if it is raining, you are not afraid that the rain will wash away the clay, which is a bit similar to the principle of plant roots to fix the soil.

"Pu Chi Pu Chi..."

Both feet stepped on the mud and made weird sounds. Su Meng and Du Jiayue had a great time playing, and the smiles on their faces never stopped.

However, it didn't take long for the two of them to stop laughing, and they looked like they were about to cry but had no tears.

Because the clay became more and more viscous with the repeated actions of stepping on them, and then they felt very strenuous with each step of their feet. Of course, this could not be ruled out because they were tired from stepping on them.

After all, this kind of action is like raising your legs high.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing laughed contentedly, and their shoveling actions accelerated a bit.

After repeating this for about an hour, Su Meng and Du Jiayue only felt that their legs were not their own anymore, and their legs were swinging, wishing they could collapse on the ground.

"No, no, no, I'm a waste, you build the roof first, and Jiayue and I take it easy." Su Meng panted heavily, staring at the sky blankly, and waved her hands.

Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing were amused by her appearance. It was the first time they saw Su Meng showing such an expression. In the past, she always acted like a strong woman.

"Then you two should have a good rest." The coolie trio responded with a smile, and then the three of them climbed onto the roof.

According to their agreement, a total of three layers of the roof should be laid.

On the first layer, which is the bottom layer, they plan to lay a layer of wild banana leaves. The wide wild banana leaves can well block the large and small gaps on the frame and play a waterproof role.

The second layer is covered with a layer of clay mixed with dry thatch, and the clay is evenly covered on the wild banana leaves. After drying, it can play a waterproof and soundproof effect.

The third layer, which is the outermost layer, is covered with a thick layer of thatch. This is also the first waterproofing process. As long as the thatch is thick enough, there is no fear of rainwater seeping in, even if there is rainwater seepage. If it leaks, it will also be absorbed by the clay in the second layer, and the thatch can also play a role in heat preservation.

As for the tiles, they must be fired, but this thing is really time-consuming, and the time is still early, so don't worry too much.

So they will slowly fire the tiles in the future, and then they will have time to replace them. After all, this is a very large project.

After laying the first layer of wild banana leaves, Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing began to cover it with clay.

They stood on the stone wall, holding the rope in their hands, and the other end was connected to the bamboo basket on the ground, which contained the reconciled clay.

In this way of division of labor and cooperation, Su Meng and Du Jiayue loaded the clay below, and the coolie trio pulled it up, and it was easy to transport the clay to the roof, saving a lot of time and effort.

Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing pulled the rope and pulled the full bamboo basket to the roof. Then, holding the bamboo basket, they carefully climbed up to the frame of the roof and began to paste clay on the wild banana leaves.

Seeing this step, Su Meng and Du Jiayue were terrified. Although the house was not very high, if they fell from the top, it would probably not be very good. In severe cases, they might even break their bones.

In the unblocked live broadcast room, the squatting audience also became nervous. Who made the painting style of this group really too strange? The other groups built a small bamboo house at most, which is considered to be a very delicate life. Not to mention building a two-bedroom and one living room, even the roof is so complicated.

"Ah, ah, Daxian, you must be careful."

"Am I the only one who thinks that the strength and appetite of this group have grown?"

"+1, I also found out, now I suspect that eating too much and strength will be contagious"

"Can I say that this is actually related to food supplements? I also made a food supplement according to brother Su Xiang's formula. After taking it for a few days, I found that my strength has become a little stronger."

“Upstairs is an illusion”

"If just eating food can make people stronger, then this formula is undoubtedly a priceless treasure. Do you think Su Xiang would blatantly expose this good thing in the live broadcast room? Although he is still a child, he is not a fool "

"Believe it or not, anyway, I plan to continue to follow Su Xiang's formula to take food supplements."

"Laughing, when will this live broadcast room be unblocked?"

"You are still in the mood to watch the live broadcast, do you have enough food?"

"..."

The clay in the basket was used up soon, Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing threw the basket down, while Su Meng and Du Jiayue shoveled the reconciled soil into the basket again with the engineer shovel.

"That's great, I can move into my new home soon." Du Jiayue smiled with crooked eyebrows. She likes this new home that is about to be completed very much because it is very big and has windows.

The sunlight shines on the room through the windows, and the air circulates, which will take away the peculiar smell in the room, and there are thick walls on all sides, giving her a sense of security and a feeling of "home".

It made her feel that she was not in the wilderness at this moment, that she had not been abandoned by civilization. This feeling could not be compared with the palm leaf hut.

During labor, time passed quickly, and the cooperation between Su Meng and the five people was very tacit. Basket after basket of clay was pulled onto the roof, and the area of ​​clay laying continued to increase. The clay is all paved.

Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing panted heavily, and looked at the roof with sweat profusely: "The weather is so hot and stuffy today, I guess the clay will be dried up in the afternoon."

"What do you want to drink? Pine needle tea or mint lemonade?" Du Jiayue looked at the three of them slumped on the bamboo chair with a smile.

Su Xiang and Bo Jing said in unison: "I want mint lemonade."

Only Zhang Lin chose pine needle tea.

This inconspicuous conversation once again aroused the enthusiasm of the audience in the live broadcast room to post barrage. They all expressed their gratitude to the other groups for drinking clean hot water, but this group was still doing multiple-choice questions.

Sure enough, people cannot be compared with each other, and the more they compare, the sadder they become.
