Although he did not stay in the winter at this time, after hearing Tru and Lantian's description, Cheng Cheng felt that the winter temperature here should be around minus 30 degrees. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River where Cheng Cheng lives were not long in the year. The coldest temperature will not exceed ten degrees below zero, so it is enough for everyone to wear a down jacket for the winter. At minus 30 degrees, in such simple conditions, in order to survive this long and cold winter, in addition to food, clothing is also a must. Cheng Cheng currently has only one thick coat. The clothes that Lantian promised to help him have not yet started work. Thinking of this, he immediately asked: "Lantian, when will you start making clothes for me?"

"When you build a house, let's make clothes for you. Make a thick coat first, and you can try it." Lantian must be very busy when he thinks of Tru and Cheng Cheng building a house, and he should not be able to make baskets himself. of. It's just that he didn't expect that at that time, he would have to help Tru cook with food during the day, and from time to time to give Cheng Cheng a hand, so that he had to work at night to make clothes, almost exhausting him.

"In addition to overcoats, I would like to ask for more clothes." Cheng Cheng nodded, he wanted to get some animal skins quickly, the more the better. In addition to making clothes, you have to make quilts or something.

"Well, it takes a little longer to make the coat, and more animal skins are used. I will help you make other clothes slowly. Anyway, I don't need to make a coat this year." Lantian readily agreed.

The two people quickly found the clay under the leadership of Lan Hua. Some of the clay here has been artificially taken away, leaving several large pits. This kind of mud in the yellow ditch is highly viscous. In addition to the purpose that Cheng Cheng thought of, it can also be used to make pottery, so it is considered a more precious thing, but there are not many pottery used here, let alone porcelain and bricks. , So there is still a lot of clay.

Cheng Cheng tried the stickiness of the clay, confirmed it, then picked a few large leaves and placed them in the basket, and dug some mud back directly. The two Lan Hua brothers also followed his example and helped him back with some mud.

Cheng Cheng made a small pit at the door of his house, mud and water, he kept stepping in it, Batu and Tru also stepped in it, and then the blue sky also came down, and now Tru is very clever not to ask Cheng. Cheng did what he did, because he knew that what Cheng Cheng did was always useful. Everyone was stepping in the thin mud. The longer the step, the stronger the stickiness of the mud, and the harder it was to step on. Afterwards, it was almost hard to pull up when the foot was stepped on, and Cheng Chengcai stopped. This kind of mud is easy to use.

When everyone was stepping on the mud, Cheng Cheng went to rub a few grass ropes and put them on the bamboo, then tied them up in a row on the ground, and smeared the mud on both sides evenly. The three of Lan Lan kept walking around Cheng Chengzhuan. Seeing him painting the mud so carefully, Lan Lan couldn't help but asked: "What's the use of painting like this?"

"Let it dry first, and you should know its usefulness in two or three days." Cheng Cheng didn't have full confidence in his heart. He hadn't done this kind of thing before, but he had a vague impression. Some old people in the village have crossed the inner walls of brick houses in this way. At that time, people with difficult homes had no extra money to buy bricks. The bricks they bought when building a house only covered the four outer walls, and the partition walls on the inside of the house did just that, and such houses generally have them. Frame of wood.

Now Cheng Cheng plans to replace the wooden frame with bamboo, mainly because there are no tools like saws and chisels, and the big trees are constantly working, and they can't use some planks, let alone making holes in the big trees, and there is no way to use thick ones. Trees are used to make a house, and the wood used to make the house must be dry. You cannot use wet trees that have just been cut down. Relatively speaking, bamboo is much thinner, and bamboo is tough and not easy to rot. In this backward era, it is easier to build a house with bamboo.

This bamboo wall standing at the door attracted everyone's attention. Almost everyone in the village had come to visit, and everyone was talking about it, but Cheng Cheng didn't tell them what it was for. Because he doesn't know whether the imagination matches the actual situation. If the mud wall can't be built, you have to think of other ways to build a house. Just building a house with bamboo, wood, grass, and leaves is definitely not strong enough and durable.

If it doesn't work, you have to make bricks. It will be much better to build a house with bricks. However, making bricks was almost always a mechanized operation in Chengcheng's life. Hand-made bricks were not only troublesome, but also time-consuming and laborious. After the bricks were made, they had to be fired in a kiln. Cheng Cheng has never seen a simple kiln for making pottery pots here, but looking at such a rough pottery pot, he can imagine that it is impossible to make good bricks in that kiln. If you dig the kiln first, the project is too big, and he doesn't understand the fire conditions. He is completely a philosopher with no practical experience in the process of making bricks. It was fun when I was young. When I went to the brick kiln factory to play with the children, I saw a little bit of it. If you really let him do it, you don't know when it will succeed.

Two days later, the three of Cheng Chengtru and Lantian were working hard at home. Batu yelled and rushed in and said, "Uncle, the bamboo outside is so hard." Several adults came out and saw that the mud was dry. The bamboo wall looked very strong. Cheng Cheng tried it. It was almost as expected. He smiled and finally relaxed. There were a lot of bamboo and hay piled on the open space in front of the door, plus a pile of brown that he had recently brought back. Silk, I am planning how to use it beautifully in my heart. Looking at the house behind him, Cheng Cheng frowned unconsciously. He was used to living in a clean concrete house. Who would be happy to live in the simplest straw shed, short and small, with no space yet, all he could eat and live in. Together, it was too uncomfortable.

Originally, Cheng Cheng planned to build three bedrooms and one living room with a kitchen, two bedrooms for himself, one for Batu and his son, a kitchen and dining room, and the other as a storage room. This kind of layout was decided for a long time after he thought about it. The bedroom area is a bit smaller, and there is no furniture to put anyway, let alone wardrobes, not even the most basic bed, the bedroom simply needs to be made. Big. The kitchen and storage room will occupy a larger area. Originally I wanted to keep a living room, but then I thought about it. It’s not a good place to entertain guests at home, and it’s more difficult to build such a large house with the materials in front of me.

He drew the sketches carefully on the ground, carefully designing. It is impossible to cover indoor bathrooms and toilets here. It's all dirt ground, how do you get these things. But the toilet can be built in the bushes behind the house, and the bathroom is very difficult to handle. Don’t cover it, it’s useless by yourself, cover it, and you can’t find suitable materials and can’t drain the water. Now I just want to make it. Big basin, boiled water and soaked in the room. Unfortunately, this idea can only be thought of in his head. He knows that he has to take his time to realize it. He took a lot of effort to get the two bamboo basins at home. Anyway, he didn’t have to go to the river to wash his face and feet. It’s hopeless to take a bath, but you can boil some hot water when it’s cold. Come scrub the dead body.

Cheng Cheng kept drawing and writing on a small book, constantly calculating how much area, how many materials, etc., and the layout of the house was constantly changing, whether it was a square or a rectangle. Yes, are the bedrooms next to each other, all of the same size, or should they be divided into master and guest bedrooms? In short, the thinking of modern people is always in conflict with the most backward times. Sometimes when I painted well, I remembered that it couldn't be realized at all, so I had to start again. Fortunately, he set the basic functional area of ​​the house early in the morning, and now he only needs to draw a satisfactory layout.

Seeing him frowning for a while, and happy for a while, Tru and the others didn't dare to disturb him. Cheng Cheng drew the house and inspected it several times carefully, and finally determined that he would build it according to this drawing. Only then did Trubattu and Blue Sky Blue Hua come over to watch. Several people looked at the drawing on the paper with their eyes wide open and could not believe it. Several three-dimensional house drawings.

"It's so beautiful." The few people were so poor that they didn't know what to say. This is the first time this world has seen the paintings here. Although it is the simplest white paper with black letters on it, everyone has obviously never seen these things. Cheng Cheng, the slapped little book, didn't know when he was stuffed into his bag. This is currently the only paper product in the world.

The author has something to say:
