Farming in the Beast World: Awakening Wood Powers

Chapter 34 We all listen to you.

No matter what Xia Lan did, Cheng Hao just didn't agree.

It seems that she is not scared this time, but Cheng Hao is very scared.

I don't want to lose you, I don't even want to lose you

The man looked so sincere and scared that Xia Lan couldn't resist.He sighed, "Okay, we all listen to you."

Looking at the pile of mud and ink on the floor of his new home, Xia Lan looked at them in surprise and said, "Did you just get so much?"

Hi this is one thing so a little mud won't be too heavy.If the basket was bigger, we could pick more!Yonglong said with a smile.

Fantastic beast!
Xia Lan looked at the clay and had a clear idea, "Cheng Hao, let's divide the work into two groups.

Yonglong and Bai Xi went up the mountain to transport soil, while you and Mu Xue stayed here to start laying bricks.Let me teach you how to make some clay brick molds first

Bai Xi and his team also knew that Cheng Hao was not worried about the female staying at home, so they naturally nodded and agreed to take on the division of labor responsibilities.

Bai Xi, let’s also take a look at how to make brick molds that can be used later.

Brick molding is actually very simple.It consists of wooden boards forming a rectangular grid, which is filled with clay.After being pressed and compacted, it is dried and becomes adobe bricks.

Xia Lan asked Cheng Hao to use a bone knife to separate several wooden boards, and then used a bone saw to separate them into large wooden boards, and nailed more than ten brick molds together.

Once you have the brick molds, start mixing them with soil and then fill the brick molds with clay to make bricks.

I practiced making clay bricks myself and then waited for the four Chenghaos to dry.Looking at the clay bricks formed on the ground, they all felt very interesting, magical and proud.

This is what they did!

Xia Lan, is this what you need to build a house?

This is clay brick.In the future, we will find opportunities to make blue bricks and make better use of them.

However, this takes longer and requires certain kiln conditions, so we first build a brick house to live in.As long as the adobe is laid and air-dried several times, you can start building a house.

Under Xia Lan's guidance, Yezi and others were so busy that they even called three more tribesmen to help lay bricks.

Aunt Ai's companion Uncle Rod, as well as another middle-aged uncle Gu Fang and his son Gu Hai.

Of course, Aunt Ai also called to help with the cooking, but she and the two women Xia Lan didn't need to get involved in making bricks or other things.

Because there were so many people making brick molds, Cheng Hao made dozens of brick molds in one go and ran out of them.

With more brick molds and more strength, the five of them were able to hit bricks more than twice as fast, becoming more skilled and faster.

The first one is to get more than 100 adobe bricks, the second one is to increase the number of bricks by 500 yuan, and the third and fourth ones have been increased by several thousand bricks.

Xia Lan was a little stunned when she saw this achievement. The speed was simply incredible!

It's dizzying to see her, she's so amazing!
As for laziness?
No one really thinks so.They have a very good relationship with Cheng Hao, so why do they think they are lazy?They all wanted to get up early and let Chenghao repair the house.

As for food, Cheng Hao usually spends two and a half mornings hunting together in the woods and bringing back prey.

Every time she cooks, she has to wait for Helan Muxi to mix the seasonings before showing them to Aunt Ai.Xia Lan tells her how to cook it before turning off the heat.

Cheng Hao then took her to her new home to help.

Xia Lan saw that they were so busy, running around in such a cave and their new home, which was a bit troublesome.Then, when she saw a bamboo forest, she thought of a solution.She wanted to build a bamboo house first so that they could sleep and rest at night, and then move the kitchen utensils and other things here so that Cheng Hao wouldn't have to waste time worrying about her.

Do you want to make a house out of bamboo?
Yes, we can stay temporarily.In the future, when the adobe house is ready, it can be used to store miscellaneous items.In this way, Aunt Ai doesn't have to cook alone.I also have to take care of a lot of the food myself to make it better

OK, OK, OK.Cutting bamboo is very fast.Let us help you make one to sleep on!Yonglong felt that the food he ate this time was not as delicious as the first time. It must be because Xia Lan didn't read often.

So as soon as he heard this, he raised his hand in agreement.

Bai Xi had no objection to them. Anyway, they were also curious about what the house was made of, which made the female of the Chenghao family so eager to do it.

So, when they went around cutting down bamboos and trees, they followed Xia Lan's request, built wooden pillars, cut the bamboos and inserted them into the ground, and then moved the big stones to the mountains.The bone knives were cut neatly and placed in the corner to strengthen the bamboo wall.

To save trouble, the roof of Mojiu is made directly from bamboo. The straight, rectangular bamboo house looks neat but has no design.

But this is the fastest way.

They finished most of the time, and in order to prevent rain, Xia Lan asked them to cover the bamboo roof with a layer of animal skin and two layers of large banana leaves.

Xia Lan touched the banana leaf brought back by Cheng Hao and tore it with her hands.

Sleeping trough, she didn't even tear off this leaf!

Xia Lan, don't use your strength, I will do as you say
No, I just want to test whether this leaf is strong
Cheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's very strong. Don't worry. Otherwise, we wouldn't have used it to hold water before because its leaves are not easy to rot."

Ouch, this is simply an original high-end variety with excellent quality!
Very good.This way, it's easier to keep out the rain, so you don't have to worry about heavy raindrops shattering them.

Okay, so fix them to the roof beams in this direction.Now that the first layer is laid, let me look at the second layer.I'll teach you how to nail the wooden nails backwards so they won't leak.

Well, it's all up to you

Cheng Hao scraped hundreds of wooden nails and other things according to Xia Lan's request.After nailing a layer of large animal skin, Cheng Hao fixed the large leaves on top according to Xia Lan's instructions.Of course, the places where nails are driven are all on the main beams of wooden posts, and bamboo is not allowed to be nailed.

Xia Lan even made a window for ventilation and transparency.

Of course, the frames are all made of wood to better support the load.

After it was all over, Cheng Hao and others looked a little surprised.The house looks like this, very comfortable.

Especially that door, after it is assembled, it can be pulled up, locked on the outside, and buckled on the inside.

It was much more comfortable here than in their cave.

Chenghao guys, if the house looked like this, we would follow suit and it would feel very comfortable.

Xia Lan is the happiest person, finally able to have a house to settle down and get rid of the life in the cave.

Hee hee
Cheng Hao, the bamboo house is ready.We can rest here for a while before bringing the kitchen utensils over tonight, okay?

Okay, listen to you
Cheng Hao also believes this is the best way.The female is busy right under her nose, but the male wastes no time.This is the most suitable.

After the bamboo house was packed, Xia Lan and his companions returned to the cave for lunch.Together they moved the pots and pans to their new home.

There is no kitchen yet.In order to block dust and other things, Xia Lan was located on the side of the new home, in the farthest corner from the brick-making area.Cheng Hao inserted the wooden stakes and used the thick leaves as curtains to block the dust.The trunk is nailed to the wooden stakes, and the leaves are clamped on both sides of the bamboo branches and stand there.

This way, their kitchen also has a separate space.
