There are still many magical effects of my trick of turning an enemy into a friend. At least Bai Lu and Yingchun can be fully active and no longer passively wait for arrangements. Moreover, Bai Lu knows a lot, and she is indispensable for making suggestions, and she has also helped solve many problems. After all, she has opened a clinic by herself, and after hearing some of my arrangements, she will make reasonable adjustments and personnel management, which are rare.

Furthermore, now that the food inventory has begun to run low, I need to stabilize the logistics so that I can go outside again to look for food to fill the vacancy. This requires Song Bailu's talent and her cooperation so that I can go out with confidence.

In the past two days, I went to saw some wood again. Song Yingchun knew the mortise and tenon method of carpentry, so he optimized the fence with the previous layout, heightened and strengthened the fence to prevent wild animals from jumping over and threatening them. , only by making a wooden awl, chiseling the ice surface, smashing it to pieces, and then sending a person down to put it in a mud urn and pull it up for daily drinking water.

In order to make it easier to dig ice for water, we widened the walls of the well. The girl Yingchun had extra firewood and made a wooden ladder with me, which was good for climbing up and down, but even so, it was still difficult to get water. Drinking water, water for watering the wheat fields, and water for cooking soup and cooking, no matter what, it takes two or three mud jars, and each time it takes a few sticks of incense to smash.

But this is not the only problem with the coming of winter. The temperature of the constant temperature room is very easy to drop suddenly, and there are people who are responsible for taking care of it. Beware that the temperature is too low and the mycelia will be damaged by freezing. From time to time, you have to add fire to the Kang cave The temperature, when the temperature rises, the fire has to be extinguished, and after about an hour or two, the temperature will be low again, and the fire has to be added and extinguished repeatedly, which can be said to be extremely troublesome.

But the cold winter has arrived, and besides food, there is another difficult problem, which is the problem of keeping out the cold. Now, no matter whether we are by the fire or not, it is so cold that we cannot sleep at all. I was shivering all the time, and although the earthen house could keep out the wind, the temperature at night would drop to several degrees below zero, which meant that it was useless to just keep out the wind, and we had to take favorable measures to keep out the cold.

Food, cold protection, water fetching, wild animal protection... These problems cannot be effectively cured, and they are particularly acute when winter comes.

It has been another three days in the morning, and everyone was too cold to sleep last night, so they gathered around the campfire to keep warm.

"Brother Zhou Bo, if this continues, we will all freeze to death. Is there a way for you to get some animal skins so that I can cover them up?" Song Yingchun said first, covering her body.

"In such a cold day, no amount of animal skins is enough to keep out the cold. The problem still occurs in the place where we live. People in the northeast of China know how to use the principle of kang to survive the winter. We can also try it. First, make a soil Come on the kang, there is a fire under it, not only can it increase the temperature in the house, but sleeping on the kang can also have a little bit of heat to dispel the cold." I said.

"Zhou Bo is right. Start with what you can do. As for animal skins and the like, they are rare." Song Bailu said.

"I agree, let's make the kang first." Yunwen also said.

"Yes, we drove this out in the past two days, so that we can sleep comfortably before looking for food. As for the animal skins, I will see if there are any dead animals when I go there to look for food. You can bring it back at that time, what do you think?" I said.

The girls nodded, obviously agreeing with what I said.

"The adobe kang needs adobe, and the adobe needs to be made of loess that is deep underground. The arrangement for a while is, Song Bailu, you will be in charge of heating and drying the water. When the water temperature is suitable, you will water the wheat field again, and then get ice for later use. Wen, you are in charge of keeping an eye on the temperature of the constant temperature room. When the two of you have free time, cook some food. Song Yingchun, we still have deerskin. I will use the engineering shovel to dig the soil, and I will make adobe after digging the loess." I said

After the division of labor was completed, Bai Lu and Yunwen quickly left to run errands, but Song Yingchun came over angrily and said, "You're trying to embarrass me, don't you? Even if I know how to sew, tell me, I don't have a sewing kit. How do I sew? Just pick some difficult things for me to do, do you still hold grudges, think I forced you to kiss..."

Before she finished speaking, I immediately stood up and covered her mouth. It's not easy to talk about that kind of thing.

She bit my hand, and I quickly let go, and at this moment Yunwen came over and said, "Well, Yingchun, you change jobs with me, and I'll sew."

"You? Do you know how to do magic or juggling? Are you looking for a reason to be lazy?" Song Yingchun said bluntly.

"It's not being lazy, I have a way to do it." Yunwen said.

"That's fine, you stewardesses have always been omnipotent, just leave it to me, and I'll fix the temperature-controlled room." Song Yingchun was afraid that Yunwen would regret it, so she left after speaking.

"What did she not finish talking just now?" Yunwen asked.

"It's nothing, that girl never talks too much, I would like to ask you, can you sew buckskin?" I asked.

"Well, leave it to me." Yunwen smiled. Recently, her diet has become more normal, and she looks more refreshed, and her face has returned to its former beauty and roundness, which is really good-looking.

After they all worked separately, I went to work too. I used the German-style folding engineering shovel to dig towards the ground, dug deeper, and piled up the layer of black soil dug up to the right, and then roughly I dug down two or three meters, and the width was enough for two people to stand. I dug up the loess. I found the wooden ladder, set it up, found a backpack, filled it, threw it on the ground, and dumped the loess. In the separate area on the left, go down and continue digging loess, and then fill it with...

This went back and forth several times, and more and more loess accumulated on the ground, until there were more than ten or twenty times, and the loess on the ground on the left side was also piled up as high as half a person.

The next step is to make the model. I found the remaining wooden stakes that I had sawed before, and sawed them to a length of about 20cm in the length of my palm, about 10cm in width as my index finger, and about 2cm in thickness. I sawed two pieces like this, and then sawed them again Take 10cm long and wide square pieces of wood with the same thickness, and try to use the mortise and tenon technique that Yingchun recently used to splice them together to form a mold with a length of 20cm, a width and a height of 10cm.

Return the wooden ladder, take a pot of spring water that has just been overheated, and find some hay, mix the loess, water and hay, and wipe the mold with water, find a relatively dry ground, and place it on the ground. Put the mold on the ground first, then mix the cement mixed in the soil basin, pour it into the mold, spread it, fill it, and smooth it with relatively flat stones.

Then slightly move the mold and take it out, so that a piece of adobe can be used after drying, and then follow the above sequence to make adobes one by one. It didn’t take long for the square-shaped adobes to be all over the ground, and about a hundred pieces were made. .

When I finished, my waist and legs were already sore and tired, and that Yunwen came over and called me to eat, so I let it dry in the sun, and then went to eat.

For today's meal, because the dried venison is particularly hard, it is not used for roasting, but cut into slices, put in a pot with some fungus and wild grass roots, and stewed until it is slightly tender before taking it out edible.

Somewhat too hard, it tastes salty, and the fishy smell is resolved by the plant roots in the pot, but it still has a unique flavor, and the food is not bad, adding a lot of satiety.

After dinner, I set off with the mud urn, intending to go to the beach to collect some sea water, at least with mud, so that precious well water can be saved when a large amount of water is needed.
