The original small days in the portable space

Chapter 18
Winter passed in a blink of an eye, and this winter was the best for everyone. During this period, Aqi taught them how to make hot pot and meatballs, as well as rice and flour.

The meat was saved when the house was built before. The old people and children ate the ones they raised themselves. At first they were unwilling to eat it. Later, Aqi told them that freshly killed meat can make them healthier. Only when they are healthy is our strongest backing.

Ah Qi only brought out flour and rice twice, but each time the quantity was quite large. Every morning was rice porridge. Rib stew, in short, is really rich.

"Patriarch~patriarch~" Aqi was making soup dumplings when she heard someone calling her, put down the steamed buns and came to the kitchen door, it turned out to be Damu.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"The patriarchs of the nearby tribes came over and said they wanted to discuss building a house." Damu turned his head and pointed to the people behind him.

I didn't see them when I went, "Well, come in, it's time to eat, let's talk after eating." Aqi greeted them to go in. "Sister-in-law Dashan~ Serve out six bowls of hot soup~" Ah Qi yelled towards the kitchen.

After a while, Mrs. Dashan brought out the soup, "Take a sip of hot soup first, even though spring is here, it's still a bit cold, drink some soup to keep you warm."

"Thank you, the patriarch of the Chinese clan. The things you sent last time solved our urgent need. Thank you very much." The oldest of the six said, taking a sip of the broth.

"Yes ~ yes ~" those few said together.

"You guys are joking, don't you help me and I help you, don't be polite." Ah Qi said with a smile.

"I must thank you. We came here this time to ask you to help us build a house. We saw it when we came in just now. Your house is really good. We want to build something like this too." It was still the older man who said.

"Ah? Like this? In fact, you don't need to build houses like ours. There are several types. There are courtyard houses, which are similar to ours. A courtyard is surrounded by houses and can accommodate three families. This can save some bricks and so on. Then there is the dormitory room, the two-story house at the entrance of the tribe, but now I can only have floor heating on the first floor. If the second floor is not cold in winter, it can only be used for sleeping. It's on the bed." Aqi explained.

"Ah~" Several people stared at Aqi with wide eyes, but Aqi understood what they meant, and they found it incredible.

"How about this, let's eat, think about it, we don't have many bricks and tiles left, and we can build seven or eight houses like ours at most." Aqi said.

"That's right, let's eat first." Ali asked everyone to set up the meal, "Try it quickly, this is the meal of our tribe, how about you try it?"

After dinner, "Let's talk about building the courtyard house you mentioned. What do we need to prepare now?" asked the older man.

"Let's mine the foundation stones first. Everything else is easy to talk about. We are also making some bricks and tiles, and we need to find some things. We will send people to your side in 15 days." A Li looked at Aqi and replied.

"Then what shall we exchange with you?"

"Bricks: 2:3. For example, a wild boar has the same amount of bricks plus half. For tiles, it is the same amount. The clay is also the same amount. You are responsible for the food of the people who build your house in our tribe." Aqi thought I want to say.

"Okay, that's it. After 15 days, when you go there, we'll go back and prepare."

After they left, Aqi asked the people of the tribe to burn bricks. Fortunately, spring came, the snow melted, and there was no shortage of clay, branches, etc., so they had to burn bricks and tiles quickly. In the future, not only a few tribes around the tribe would build houses , the ones farther away will have to be built, at least for now, it will be hard to say when they all know how to burn bricks.
