Rebirth before the doomsday: I quietly emptied the city of supplies

After putting down the bamboo, Chen Yu washed his hands.

I have been working all day today. I am really tired now! "I don't even know what time it is now!"

While eating, Ling Qing looked at the sun and saw that it had begun to set in the west.

The only way they can judge time now is to look at the sun. When there is no sun, they can only guess! Life without a sense of time is really hard to endure.

"do not know."

Chen Yu shook his head. He really didn't know the exact time. "How about this! I'll make a sundial tomorrow, so that we can know the approximate time every day..."

In fact, making a sundial is very simple, but he has always felt that it is not very useful. In the wilderness, life is just about working from sunrise to sunset. But now that Ling Qing said so, let's make one! Making a sundial is a very simple thing. "You can also make a sundial?"

"Can I ask, is there anything you don't know?" Ling Qing asked with admiration.

In her eyes, Chen Yu is truly almighty! "Yes! Needlework, I really can't do this..."

Chen Yu nodded seriously. He really didn't know how to do this...

After finishing his meal, Chen Yu started to do the rest of the work for this morning.

First, the main beam must be built to a position of 2.5 meters, which is also a big challenge for Chen Yu.

Although he could lift the tree trunk weighing more than 150 kilograms with both hands, it was still just a little short! It felt like a slight mistake could lead to a huge difference. In the end, Chen Yu could only put one end of the main beam up first! The other end could only be put up with the help of a ladder.

At the beginning, Chen Yu was very worried about whether his ladder could withstand the weight of 300 kilograms (people and main beam), but it turned out that his worries were unnecessary.

My own ladder, resisted...

After the main beam is put up, the next step is to put up the rafters. The rafters are made of bamboo and are very light. This is very simple!

However, it is still a bit troublesome to fix all the rafters on the main beam. It is necessary to drill a hole on each bamboo rafter and then cut some wooden nails out of bamboo.

This will fix it, and finally fix it with hibiscus bark, and it will be foolproof! The process is naturally very tedious, but after an hour, Chen Yu has fixed the holes and wooden nails...

Next is the rafter part. If you have a ladder, just nail the rafter to the main beam, and then lay two layers of palm leaves on the rafter. Put some small branches on the palm leaves, and then wrap a thick layer of mud on the small branches. Then you can put on the tiles.…

"Chen Yu, is our new house finally ready?"

Ling Qing looked at the completed new house with excitement. Their new house was much more luxurious than other new houses in the village!

"Well, it's almost done. Tomorrow, I'll build a brick bed and then paint the wall and it'll be done..." Chen Yu patted the dust off his hands and nodded. Although it looks a bit monotonous, it's definitely practical!

Although it doesn't look so bright and beautiful now, it will be completely transformed after being painted with clay used for firing pottery. "Yeah... we finally have a new house, hehe~~" Ling Qing said excitedly.

I guess other groups don’t have such a good living environment!

"Okay, have a good rest tonight, and we will get up early tomorrow to carry the clay back..."

Chen Yu looked at Ling Qing. Although they had only eaten two meals today, they could still make it to tomorrow because lunch was postponed to the afternoon. When the new house is completely completed tomorrow, they can start preparing to harvest wild wheat!

The next morning, the two got up very early and carried two loads of clay at the place where they had carried clay last time.

This time, Chen Yu found some clay mixed with lime powder, because lime powder has a strong adhesive ability. Mixing some lime powder in the clay can effectively prevent cracks and cracks on the wall! "Chen Yu, can you do it alone?"

After carrying the clay to the shelter, Ling Qing asked. "Sure! What's the matter?"

Chen Yu looked at Ling Qing. This job was relatively simple and he could do it all by himself! Ling Qing couldn't help much...

"Yeah, in that case I'll go and weave a quilt cover."

The hemp that was dried in the sun a few days ago is almost dry. This is a very huge project. Even if I work day and night, it will take at least seven or eight days or even longer!

She had knitted scarves with cotton thread before, but had never tried to knit a quilt with hemp thread. This was a big challenge for her... "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing! I'll take care of the rest!"

Chen Yu nodded. He could do the current work by himself. There was no need for two people to waste time. Besides, he couldn't help Ling Qing with the needlework at all.

Painting a wall is not a tedious job, and the requirements for the soil are far less delicate than those for pottery! It only needs to avoid some large pieces of intact soil...

"Then let's get to work!"

Chen Yu looked at the soil that had fallen on the ground, found a can of water, and started mixing the mud. The water content of the mud for painting the wall should be between 35% and 40%. If it was too hard or too watery, it would not be able to be wrapped on the wall.

After preparing the mud, Chen Yu simply made a mud handle out of bamboo and started to plaster the wall.

In fact, it is very simple. Just paint from top to bottom. As long as there are no obvious bumps and bumps, there will be no problem at all. As for whether it will crack in the future, we will talk about it later! After nearly an hour, the painting work in the house has been completed.

"Perfect…."

Chen Yu looked at the fruits of his labor. Although it was not as smooth as a mirror, it was still acceptable. After all, he was not a qualified painter! "Wow, Chen Yu, is this our new house?"

"It's so beautiful! I can't wait to live in it!" Ling Qing looked at the walls of the room with excitement as he saw that Chen Yu had finished the painting work.

"New house??"

Chen Yu was stunned. This new house has two meanings. I just don't know which one Ling Qing is asking about!

"It's still early. The floor of the room hasn't been prepared yet, and I'm also going to build the earthen kang first. If I want to be able to move in completely, it will probably take about ten days to prepare the room." Chen Yu explained.

Because the house was just built and the walls are not dry yet, it will be very humid if you live in it, and you might get eczema or something! It must be exposed to the sun for seven or eight days before people can live in it.

"Oh, okay!"

Ling Qing nodded, not disappointed...
