Working Prophet.

Chapter 120 The Little Maid's First Lesson

Fitzwilliam was then invited into the village by the enthusiastic lizard people, and he also saw more things.

As far as the boatman could see, almost all production and construction were in full swing.

In addition to those figures who were waving scythes to harvest crops in the criss-crossing strips of fields, Fitzwilliam also saw pieces of timber being pulled back from the direction of the swamp and piled up under the straw sheds. it is good.

A group of people who looked like carpenters were picking and choosing in the grass shed. After choosing the wood they liked, they processed it on the spot.

Crab Point was located in the east of the empire, and there were almost no brick kilns there, so Fitzwilliam couldn't recognize those smoking bread-shaped buildings. He could only guess that the lizard people should be firing something.

But he was a shipwright himself, and knew carpentry all too well.

However, Fitzwilliam stood by the grass shed and looked at it for a while, and soon discovered the difference.

Carpenters in Crab Corner often use right-angle wooden rulers and compasses to measure before processing.

Especially the square, it is easy to use, but because the length is limited, if the thing to be measured is relatively long, it should be measured in sections or cut out a rope of the same length first.

But here, in addition to the above two types of measuring tools, people use a small round cake that can be held with one hand, and a thin iron sheet with a scale can be pulled out from the inside.

Those thin iron sheets can be pulled out for a long distance, and when you loosen your fingers after making a mark, they can spring back with a snap, which is very convenient.

The shipwright who watched was amazed, thinking that if this little thing was used to build a ship, especially a big ship, it must be very useful, but soon Fitzwilliam came back to his senses.

Now that I have been exiled to the western region, there is no boat to build.

He shook his head, threw this ridiculous idea out of his head, and then looked down.

After the measurement, the carpenters began to cut. The tools used were traditional axes and wedges. If processing thick wood, they would use a double vertical saw.

This is no different from the carpenters at Crab Point, but in the subsequent repair process, the carpenters here used something that Fitzwilliam had never seen before.

It is a rectangular tool with two short handles on the side, which can be held and pushed by hand, and the surface of the pushed wooden board becomes smooth soon.

In other places, this part of the work is done by chisels and axes, which is obviously not so efficient, and has a high level of skill for carpenters.

In addition, Fitzwilliam also saw a lot of wooden frames that had been erected in the village. The styles and sizes were all standardized. Standing there neatly, they should be planning to build houses.

I just don't know why I haven't started plastering the walls with mud.

It wasn't until the boatman saw several brick houses under construction on the other side of the village that he got the answer, and then he was invited to visit a brick house that had already been built.

It was the first brick house built in the village, with gray tiles and red walls, two bedrooms and one living room, and a kitchen attached.

The brick house itself does not occupy a large area, about [-] square meters, only half the size of the most common huts on the Bratis continent.

However, all the rooms are separated by brick walls to form an independent space. In addition, the floor is also paved with floor tiles, which is no longer the original mud floor.

In this way, it will be very dry even if it is raining, and it can also prevent poisonous insects from drilling out of the ground. In addition, the waterproofness of the tiles covered on the roof is much better than thatch, and even if there is a heavy rain, there will be almost no raindrops Falling into the house also greatly reduces the risk of fire.

In order to take care of his sick younger sister, Fitzwilliam stayed in Teacup Castle after he arrived in Greenfield. He has not been assigned to the farm yet, but other members of the family who were sent with him have already arrived at them one after another. new home.

When Jane's health was about the same, the shipbuilder also visited the nearest ones.

For the nobles who are used to living in towns and castles, their residence in the green field may be slightly better than the dark dungeon.

At least with sunshine and some freedom.

However, apart from these two things, other places are not much different from dungeons.

There is also no bed or furniture, the dirty environment, the walls, doors and windows leaking everywhere, and the strong smell of livestock in the house, which cannot be cleaned no matter what.

Once it rains, wooden barrels have to be used to catch the water. Some people can't bear the rain leaking in the sleeping place. They approached the steward of the farm to ask for help, and the reply was to fix it by themselves.

It's not that the steward is deliberately bullying these newcomers, because these houses are indeed maintained by the farmers themselves after they are rented out to farmers.

It's just that most of the nobles of the Weiting family don't know how to repair the roof. Some people wanted to challenge their limits, but they broke their legs, so the others gave up this idea and could only continue to make do with it.

In contrast, the brick houses being built in this village by the swamp can be called luxurious.

Even compared to Fitzwilliam's original residence, it was not much different.

In addition to the houses for people to live in, each house is equipped with a small courtyard with pig pens and livestock sheds, so that humans and animals are separated, and there is almost no smell in the house.

Fitzwilliam looked envious.

The first brick house in the green field was naturally given up by the lizard people to Li Yu, a prophet, to live in.

However, Li Yu is not in Bratis most of the time on weekdays, so the actual owner of this house is the little maid Clara.

She has also joined the Shuangxiu Church now. The Christian name Li Yu gave her is Mary. I don’t ask her to discover polonium and radium one day. I just hope that she will not waste her ingenuity. Be serious.

However, from the current point of view, Li Yu's hope has come to nothing.

After seeing Fitzwilliam, the little maid's eyes lit up immediately, she opened the drawer behind her with a smile, took out a small square box from it, and said to the boatman.

"Master Prophet is not here now, he will not come back until midnight tonight."

Fitzwilliam nodded, "It's okay, I can wait, this place is very interesting, there are many novel things, I want to hang out more."

"We can talk about the transfer later," Clara said with a serious expression, "You said you want to join the Shuangxiu Cult, so do you know what is the most important teaching of the Shuangxiu Cult?"

The boatman was taken aback when he heard the words, and then immediately said respectfully, "Please enlighten me."

"Enjoy life. Every believer who believes in Saturday should deeply know and understand the importance of rest and entertainment. Come and teach you now."

As Clara spoke, she opened the card box in her hand.
