The Road to Domination in Another World

Chapter 6 Start making bricks

It was still early when I went home today, Ye Senlei carried a rabbit in each hand, and Jiao Ge carried a deer on his back, and his hands were full of prey.

The route for the two of them to hunt in the woods didn't pass through the village, so they went directly to their own house, and they didn't meet anyone on the way.

Unloading the prey at the door, Ye Senlei felt a little worried looking at the meat all over the place. The meat can't be eaten for a while, and if left for a long time, it will go bad, so he has to find a way to store the meat.

"Jiao Ge, do you have any salt at home? It would be great if these endless meat can be marinated."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiao Ge took out a small stone jar from the house, opened the wooden board covering it, and found that it was full of salt grains. The salt was a little yellowish, which should be due to the rough refining process, but the amount was already higher than Ye Senlei expected. It's so much better.

"Haha, enough salt! There is a big salt lake in the north of the tribe. Every summer, the patriarch will take us there to dry the salt. Once enough, it is enough for us for a year. If there is no salt in normal times, we can go there to dry the salt. It’s just that the weather is bad and the sun is slow.”

After listening to Jiao Ge's words, Ye Senlei really realized how superior the location of this tribe was. In ancient China, salt in the interior was a controlled product, so it was conceivable how scarce it was.

There is a salt lake in the north, large forests in the east and south, and a prairie in the west. Except for the occasional monsters that accidentally stray, there are almost no enemies, so the people in the tribe are not too defensive. No wonder I am an unknown person. Outsiders can settle into the tribe so easily.

"This is such a good place!" Ye Senlei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Haha, Old Man Lu said the same thing."

"Who is Old Man Lu?"

"Oh, I'll take you to meet him next time. He's a stinky old man with a weird temper. He's very annoying." Although he said disgusting words, there was a smile on the corner of Jiao Ge's mouth, obviously duplicity.

Seeing that Jiao Ge didn't say much, Ye Senlei didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he would know if he had the chance in the future.

Peeling the animal skins was a bit difficult for Ye Senlei, Jiao Ge took the initiative to take over the work, and started to do it skillfully with a knife.

Ye Senlei thought he couldn't just watch other people work, so he picked up Jiao Ge's clothes and prepared to go to the river to wash them. He already knew the neighborhood here, told Jiao Ge and left.

This dress looked old and was a bit tattered. After this hunt, it was covered with mud and blood. If it wasn't for Jiao Ge who only had such a dress, Ye Senlei really wanted to throw it away.

When he came to the river, several people were washing things, some were washing meat, the nearby river was stained reddish with blood, but the person next to him was washing clothes, as if he didn't care whether the blood-stained water dried up or not. clean.

These people looked very strong, but at first glance, most of them were women. Their clothes were not very concealed, their necklines were wide open, and their chests were very strong, like the chest muscles of over-fit men on Earth.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ye Senlei picked a place a little further away, but it was not too far away, and he could just hear their voices.

"Hi! New here!" one of the young women called out to Ye Senlei.

Ye Senlei raised his head when he heard the cry and looked over.

The woman continued to ask: "How is Jiao Ge? Is it okay?" After finishing speaking, several women beside him laughed lowly.

"Jiaoge is pretty good." Ye Senlei didn't understand what they were laughing at, and felt a little uncomfortable hearing their tone.

"He hasn't had a crystallization nucleus for so long, I'm afraid it's not good enough, you..." She wanted to say more, but was stopped by a middle-aged woman not far away.

It seemed that the middle-aged woman still had some status. After she spoke, everyone else immediately fell silent.

Ye Senlei didn't know what a crystal nucleus was, but he was afraid that if he asked too much, he would reveal that he was not from this continent, and in the conversation just now, he felt that those people spoke with thorns, especially when they talked about Jiao Ge, he felt It's not a good word, so I just bowed my head and said nothing.

As soon as he was silent, the others also felt bored and began to work and chat on their own.

As soon as Ye Senlei came home, he told Jiao Ge about the conversation just now. When Jiao Ge heard Ye Senlei asking himself about the crystal nucleus, his heart was full of panic that the matter would be revealed, so he could only honestly explain his situation.

Ye Senlei felt a little distressed after hearing this, no wonder Jiao Ge is shorter than everyone else, and lives in such a remote place, an orphan who doesn't have enough strength, one can imagine how difficult life is, but he is so cheerful and enthusiastic, and he sincerely gives to himself who is completely unfamiliar , full of goodness.

"Jiao Ge, don't worry. You see, I don't have the crystal nucleus you mentioned, but I have lived well for so many years. We don't have the strength to use technology. When I think of a way, I will definitely raise you taller and stronger. !"

It's rare for Ye Senlei to comfort others, but these words made Jiao Ge's heart startled, how did Ye Senlei become a supporter of me!In the tribe, the person with the stronger ability is in the upper position by default. Today, Ye Senlei has caught so many prey by his own method, and it seems that he is much more capable than himself.

The more Jiao Ge thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't want to be ridden at all. Jiao Ge, who originally planned to have a big fight tonight, not only didn't dare to mention it himself, he was also afraid that Ye Senlei would have ideas.

Ye Senlei looked at Jiao Ge who was fidgeting all of a sudden, thinking that Jiao Ge had a low self-esteem because of the crystal nucleus, so he smiled more gently and spoke softly unlike him.

Jiao Ge's scalp was numb, and his body was stiff until he fell asleep. He didn't dare to sleep until Ye Senlei fell asleep completely.

In the next few days, Jiao Ge dug a few more traps in different places. This time, he wove a few pieces of soft rattan instead of clothes. The manpower was liberated, and he only needed to go to the trap in the evening to collect prey.

Time not hunting is time spent making adobes.

Before Ye Senlei saw a video of making bricks in impoverished areas of Africa on the Internet, he used four wooden boards to make a rectangular grid, filled with clay to flatten it, and then buckled it out to form a square brick. The bricks produced in this way are of the same size Regular, and then after a few days of drying, it can be fired in a brick kiln.

He has never done this kind of work on Earth, so he can only slowly explore based on the videos he has watched before and the knowledge he has learned.

And after these few days, Jiao Ge knew that Ye Senlei didn't mean to be on the top, and getting along with Ye Senlei became natural again. Unfortunately, Ye Senlei was so busy every day that he could fall asleep lying on the bed at night. It has not been handed over yet.

However, this does not prevent Jiao Ge from obeying Ye Senlei's orders. Even if he doesn't know the use of what he is doing, he still strictly follows Ye Senlei's instructions, but occasionally there will be some minor problems.

For example, as far as the brick mold is concerned, Ye Senlei has tossed back and forth several times when only four wooden boards are combined together.

"Isn't it almost done? These two pieces are aligned, and the other two pieces are also aligned. What's the problem?" After changing it three times, Jiao Ge finally couldn't help complaining, but his voice was not loud, just Muttering in his mouth.

"What's wrong? The board on the left is a bit higher than the one on the right. Look at this side, it has such a big gap!" After hearing Jiao Ge's complaint, Ye Senlei also became angry, although he also knew that Jiao Ge was not good at it. Carpentry work, but with such back and forth revisions, I don't know when I can live in a brick house.

Jiao Ge was particularly afraid that Ye Senlei would be unhappy. Ye Senlei's face darkened, and Jiao Ge was timid again. Recently, he began to realize that his partner did not seem to be as gentle as he imagined, but sometimes he felt that the serious Ye Senlei had a different charm.

After Jiao Ge was yelled at by Ye Senlei, he began to really focus. As long as he was careful, the job was not too difficult. After one modification, he made a mold that satisfied Ye Senlei.

Ye Senlei saw Jiao Ge carefully handing the things to him for inspection, and felt a little guilty for not being able to control his emotions just now, so he reached out and touched Jiao Ge's head, and praised him a few words.

The grievance in Jiao Ge's heart completely dissipated, and he mustered up his energy to wait for Ye Senlei's next arrangement.

Next, the two people took the molds and buckled the clay dug from the river into rectangles and hung them on the open space in front of the house. No one came here, and even if they did, they didn't worry that someone would take these clods.

Looking at the brick adobes all over the floor, Ye Senlei was very tired but satisfied, as if a clean and comfortable brick house was just around the corner.

After a few days of groping, Ye Senlei finally made a fire kiln for firing bricks according to the drawings. Due to limited conditions, he could only use sun-dried bricks to form a tunnel-like arch, and then coat the outside with a layer of clay to seal the air. Then stuff firewood inside, light the fire and then seal the hole with bricks, and set up big wooden sticks outside to burn together from the outside.

After one night of smoldering, the charcoal ashes were removed, and a brick kiln with a height of one person and a length of two meters was completed.

Jiao Ge entered the brick kiln in some surprise, and knocked on the wall of the kiln, "It's almost like a stone. Our patriarch's house was built with stones, which is strong and wind-resistant."

"When we finish burning these bricks, we can build a house. It will be better than what they built. It will be very comfortable to live in. Didn't you say that the winter is very cold, and when the time comes to build a kang, the house will be hotter than in summer."

Jiao Ge looked at Ye Senlei in surprise, now he suspects that Ye Senlei is not from a small tribe at all, otherwise how could he have so many amazing ideas.

Jiao Ge, who was already obedient, unconsciously thought of a voice in his heart, I want to be good enough to Sensen, so that he can't leave me, so that he will always belong to me!This mentality has properly established his dog-licking status.

Now the basic necessities of life, the clothes are barely wearable, and there is no need to worry too much about food, but eating meat every day, Ye Senlei feels that he is not very smooth in some aspects. Fortunately, it is not too serious, but it is imminent to improve the diet structure.

Ye Senlei let out a long sigh, why does he feel that the matter will never be resolved? In this place where everything is up to him, if he wants to live a good life, he doesn't know that he has to wait until the year of the monkey. Fortunately, there is still Jiao Ge, otherwise he will not be able to live at the same level as he is now. can't reach it.

However, although the living conditions here are poor, but because of Jiao Ge, life is not lonely, and Jiao Ge is considerate of himself everywhere, it is a blessing to have such a confidant in life.
