Infrastructure maniacs from the East

After sleeping, he still felt top-heavy. Xu Tian knew that the initial cause of his illness was the cold air entering his body. Last night, he warmed up to the fire and drank some soup. But as long as he slept on a stone bed all day, Lord Xu shouldn’t expect himself to be able to recover. Alright, and this time the vitality has obviously been hurt. Even if it is cured, it will take a long time to fully recover. The cold water is actually just a fuse.

Tried to move his body, Lord Xu nodded - he can still walk by himself, not bad.

Well, being supported by a knight before is black history.

The butler still didn't show up, but Xu Tian was used to it. After all, the servants left by the butler were actually quite useful. Although they were still not as good as the real master, they could basically meet the needs.

The sheepskin scroll was taken out, the quill pen was brought forward, the ink was only a little shallow, Xu Tian reminded himself to make some, and then he bowed his head and began to write and draw. He didn't mean to explain to the servant, and he was not worried about the servant. What will be revealed, after all, he writes in Chinese and speaks mandarin, even if he speaks it openly, in the eyes of others, he is only drawing and singing.

Xu Tian wants to make a kang.

This idea has been swirling in his head for a long time, but he has not put it into practice. The reason is actually that Lord Xu wanted to save costs in one go, but it was not until this illness that he finally realized his need for it.

It doesn't matter if it's bulky or manpower-intensive. In short, he needs to take care of himself first. If there is a problem, he will solve it. If it is too troublesome, he will improve it. As long as the other person is still there, everything will not be a dream.

If you don’t have any bricks, make do with earthen huts first. The blue bricks and white walls are all forked off. Don’t even think about the cement. In winter, it is estimated that I will be frozen to death, and I don’t even think about the furniture for the time being. I don’t know where the mats and quilts on the bed are still growing. Anyway, there are linen sheets. Let’s make do with it and improve it later...

Xu Tian wrote and drew on the paper, and the conditions were shrinking again and again, removing all the unrealistic and fancy, the parchment was quickly wiped into a mess, and there were some ugly drawings on it. The shape of the object made the instigator a little hot-eyed, but he couldn't help showing a relaxed smile-the preliminary plan and budget have been released.

When all the standards are lowered, the kang is relatively simple-a house, enough embryos, mud, firewood, and a person who knows how to cook the kang.

The house made of stone is too labor-intensive, so Xu Tian decided to make the house he lived in when he was traveling. According to the owner, it is an embryonic house that is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is the so-called earthen house.

Xu Tian thought about what he was going to do now, and decided to find a carpenter to make a mold first. After all, if the tiles are to be seamlessly connected, different sizes are not acceptable. Instead of harvesting a pile of tiles with only a few qualified ones film, it is better to spend more time now and try to do it in one step.

The tiles look exactly the same, but if you actually operate it yourself, you will find that there will be gaps when the same tiles are stacked together, and then there will be a piece of water dripping, and the support below will rot Soon, anyone who really burns tiles knows that the tiles are big at one end and small at the other end, and one side is high and the other is low. Only in this way can they be seamlessly connected.

Xu Tian raised his voice and gestured with the carpenter on a piece of wood for his request. Three meters was not a long distance, but now Xu Tian, ​​who was short of breath, spoke in a fluttering manner. In order for the carpenter to hear him, he could only temporarily I feel sorry for my throat. Fortunately, the previous cooperations have greatly enhanced the carpenter's ability to understand. I can understand more or less with a few gestures and a few more sentences. But when Xu Tian came out, I still felt that I was almost about to He was exhausted, and at the same time, he was sincerely grateful that he had made the ruler, otherwise, he would probably face N times of rework that would make him collapse and the carpenter collapse.

While waiting for the carpenter to make tools, Xu Tian went to check some dried mud embryos. Most of them were still usable, but the quantity was obviously small. After asking the reason, he remembered that most of the strong laborers were taken to plant sweet potatoes. , Minors went to make pottery, no matter how young they were, they were not included at all, and the current two Miaomiao were left for him because of the embarrassment of the agricultural officer.

I spread out the parchment and calculated the volume of my small house, and calculated the required amount of mud embryos with the knowledge degraded to the junior high school level. I compared it with this one, and looked at the time the carpenter said before to make tools. Lord Xu asked his servants to go to the agricultural officer to transfer a few servants and a cow to do soil cultivation on the spot.

This embryo is only enough to lay a foundation.

The agricultural officer was naturally unwilling, but the lord's order was invalid, and he still reluctantly asked the servants to take away a few strong slaves, and Xu Tian's progress in building the house immediately accelerated when he had people. The head of the cow made them speed up even more. Lord Xu calculated the efficiency of these people and the time needed in his heart, nodded in satisfaction, and decided to touch a piece of land that was more suitable for building a house.

The land search was not smooth, it was either too far from the castle or too close to the pigsty. It took him a whole day to find a place that was barely suitable. I don't even want to go - how can the lord build a house there? !

Yes, that's right, serfs lived on that proper piece of land—his.

Lord Xu did not expect that everything went well before, and he died on the foundation in the end, but he will not give up easily, anyway, it will take some time for the mud embryo to be fully completed, and he can always find a more suitable place, But what he needs to study now is actually the manufacture of heated kangs.

So here comes the question, as a pure Southern Wenke child, how can he use limited information to make a northern artifact that may not look good, may be ugly, but at least usable?

"Let two people dig a hole for me."

In the end, the arrogant and extravagant Lord Xu decided to ask two poor people to serve him, and he only needed to talk on paper—the translation means that he first made a miniature kang to see if there was any problem. It was two slaves who did it, and he was only responsible for pointing the country with a wooden stick standing in the distance.

The agricultural officer who took away two more people: Oh, so angry!

"Yes, the two sides must be flat... No, no, no, quickly tear it down... There must be a passage inside, it's not a dead end, it's not... why it collapsed, thicken... no, widen... ah, ah, why is it always wrong...Success!"

Xu Tian's voice became hoarse again, but his spirit improved a lot. The two slaves just sat down on the ground. The tears in one of the eyes hadn't dried yet, but he already showed a relieved smile. Xu Tian's legs gave way, and he almost fell down. Fortunately, a knight reached out to help him, and he avoided the tragedy of disfigurement or embarrassment.

Nodding at the knight as a thank you, Xu Daling took the initiative to move his jio, and instantly softened, and threw himself into the knight's arms, but he was a little taller than he actually was, in order to prevent himself from falling off in shame. Tightening subconsciously, the whole person made a strange movement, the knight didn't know what was going on, and the base of his ears turned red quietly, but his face was still expressionless, looking like an air of no emotion .

Xu Tian didn't bother to analyze carefully why the knight suddenly froze. There seemed to be ten thousand ants crawling on his legs, which were sore, itchy and numb. He didn't dare to move below his knees. The dense sweat, coupled with the pale face, looked inexplicably pitiful.

In the end, Lord Xu was helped back by two knights. Xu Tian trembled every time his unsatisfactory legs moved, and felt that he had lost all face in his life at this moment.

Fortunately, all this is barely worth it—he has basically passed the skill of heating the kang. Although he was tossed by this strange feeling that night, it was difficult to fall asleep, but as the saying goes, a smart pillow is confused with water, and he is tossing and turning. During the tossing, he realized an important problem-his room can be turned into a heated kang with a little modification.

So why was he thinking about building a house?

Xu Tianmu was thinking about the possibility that he had become a fool with a straight face, and finally felt that all this was Tokiomi's fault.As for who Tokiomi is, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that all of this must be his fault, Lord Xu is wise and mighty, it is impossible to make mistakes.

Xu Tian, ​​who found a reasonable excuse for himself, fell asleep peacefully, and when he woke up the next day, he also thought about how to use the extra soil embryos-his housekeeper and agricultural officer's house should be renovated.

Well, he is really a caring and good boss.

Shamelessly blowing a rainbow fart to himself, Xu Tian smiled and went to look at the plants temporarily collected by the agricultural officer.

There are many types of plants but obviously not all of them, but Xu Tian, ​​who is tolerant, understands the speed of this era, and just gives a proper warning, then picks up a familiar plant and throws it with a testimonial...

Xu Tian felt that maybe his Mercury retrograde was over.

Yes, that's right, the plant in his hand is actually ginger!

Although it was only half the size of what he had seen before, and there were subtle differences in all aspects, the word ginger in the identification technique was unmistakable. As for the differences... people are not allowed to mutate.

Xu Tian didn't bother to look at the other plants, mainly because his identification technique was belching again. A small chrysanthemum was turning around, but there was nothing there. Fortunately, Lord Xu was content, and ordered the agricultural officer Save them first, and look at them when he is free (the identification technique is useful), and then he brought ginger to the kitchen——

He wants to drink ginger water to get rid of the cold! ! !

The author has something to say: I have consulted my mother, and among the onion, ginger and garlic, ginger is the most effective at removing fishy smell, so I decided to give the protagonist a little bit of happiness.
