Beginning Backpack [Farming]

It took two days for two novices to cover the entire roof with tiles. At this time, from the outside, a brick and tile house is already decent, but the doors and windows are empty, and the inside is also empty.

Shen Huaijin asked Li to bring some cement, planning to build the most important hole in the bedroom first.

The heated kang is composed of three parts: a stove, a kang body and a chimney. The stove can be used for cooking, and the kang body can be used for heating and sitting.He planned to put the kang on the side of the bedroom facing the window, and the stove was built in the hall room, which communicated with the partition wall of the kang.The location of the outer chimney is also reserved on the roof, which can communicate with the inner chimney after being built with bricks.

Shen Huaijin and Li first built the Kang wall with bricks, and began to build the internal structure after demarcating the area.

The kang body is divided into three parts: the bottom layer, the kang hole and the top layer. The bottom layer is mainly used to elevate the kang hole so that the internal temperature will not be lost to the ground. Therefore, materials with relatively strong heat storage capacity should be used, such as stones, sand, etc. to lay.

Above this layer is the hollow kang hole, through which smoke and hot air can pass to achieve the effect of heating the body of the kang, so it is sufficient to use brick flats as support columns.In order to distribute the temperature evenly throughout the kang body, Shen Huaijin put some bricks inside, and placed more bricks closer to the smoke outlet, so that it formed a slope and could control the amount of smoke.

As for the top layer, it is covered by a flat stone slab, and then a layer of fine sand is applied to seal the edge, spread out, and the mud can be used after it dries.

After setting up the kang and stove, Shen Huaijin lit a big fire, intending to burn the kang thoroughly.The flue gas is passed from the passage to the mouth of the chimney, because the chimney is located in the leeward area of ​​the roof, the flue gas can be easily extracted without being poured into the room.

Li turned back to the kang, touched the edge of the kang carefully, and muttered softly, "Why isn't it hot yet?"

Shen Huaijin heard him talking to himself, and couldn't help laughing: "How can it be so fast, you have to let the smoke pass and heat the kang before talking. In the cold season, we will cook here when we cook. It can heat up the kang.”

"So that's the case." Li nodded, and then quickly realized, "Then when we sleep on the kang during the hot season, don't we sleep more and more hotter?!"

A vein twitched on Shen Huaijin's forehead, "Come and light the fire for me!"

"Oh..." Li slipped out of the bedroom with a face full of grievances. If he was in a half-beast state at this time, the ears on the top of his head must have been left off. Don't want to let me touch it."

"Stupid." Shen Huaijin resented the lack of iron and said: "Isn't the west wing room used as a kitchen and warehouse? You can just cook there at other times!"

"……Oh."

After the heated kang was thoroughly burned and the mud dried and hardened, Shen Huaijin covered the kang with mats and quilts.He touched the soon-to-be warm mattress, and said sternly with satisfaction: "In the future, we will put a kang table on it, and in the cold season, we can sit cross-legged on it and do things. It is warm and comfortable."

"Well, and it feels like the room has been heated up, so you won't be cold when cooking." Nodding and agreeing, "By the way, this bedroom is so big, we can still go inside. I will leave you a place to take a shower, how about a bathtub?"

Shen Huaijin's eyes lit up, "Okay!" He has been obsessed with the independent and private bathroom for a long time.

As soon as they said it, the two immediately resisted the bricks and started to build the frame. The bathtub is really not much different from the ordinary cement pool, but for comfort, Shen Huaijin still picked up many smooth pebbles and embedded them in the inner wall of the bathtub. Put a small bench inside to avoid direct contact with the rough cement surface.

The bathtub is built against the wall, and there is a window on the top, which is convenient for direct introduction of water from the bamboo path. There is a water outlet where the bathtub meets the corner of the wall, and the water can be directly discharged into the downstream of the stream through the drainage channel outside the house.

The thought of being able to take a bath easily made Shen Huaijin full of joy, he slapped Li's arm suddenly, with a cheerful expression, the latter could only look at him with a helpless smile.

"But until now, this house is still unlivable." Shen Huaijin was excited for a while, and then said calmly. He pointed to the empty windows, "We don't have glass windows yet."

"No hurry, didn't you say that you already have the raw materials, that quartz and...and..."

Shen Huaijin reminded: "And soda ash, I got it from a traveling merchant."

"Yes, soda ash!" Li rubbed his head and comforted him: "There is still some time before the cold season, and we have time to burn glass, so don't be so anxious. Look, the sky is getting dark, don't we? Hurry up to harvest rice and eat something?"

Through the wide-open cavity, one could indeed see that the outside was getting darker.

Shen Huaijin looked back and took a sharp look, the other party's dark green eyes were also very gentle in the gradually sinking night, like two pieces of melted emeralds.

"Okay, let's go harvest rice."

After three or four days of drying and frequent turning, the millet is completely dried.The rattan basket was full, and even piled up with small sharp corners. Shen Huaijin picked up a grain, put it in his mouth, and crushed it with a canine tooth. He only heard a crisp sound of "click", and Shen Huaijin knew it. That's good, he said with a satisfied smile: "It's enough, I can stock up."

Thirty baskets of rice and two baskets of seeds were moved into the cellar, and some into the storage room, waiting to pound rice for cooking when they had time.

Now that the rice has been harvested steadily and the house is being built in an orderly manner, Shen Huaijin is very excited and spends a lot of time stewing a tofu fish soup and making a long-lost iron plate barbecue.Soothed by the aroma of sizzling meat and delicious fish soup, the two had a comfortable meal.

The next day Li was going to build the wall at Taniguchi, so Shen Huaijin could only fiddle with the glass burning, because there were no other important things for the time being, and he was not in a hurry, so he first built a crucible kiln with strong refractory clay, While drying the kiln body, I planned to go to the Asian beasts to get some coal back.

The sub-beasts who were temporarily idle on the other side of the stream were already curious about his behavior of building a new kiln. Seeing him coming, they excitedly stepped forward and asked, "Jin, what are you doing so busy? Why are you building a kiln again?" ?”

Shen Huaijin also blocked the way, not annoyed, and explained with a smile: "I plan to burn some glass for windows, so I'll come here to get coal."

"Glass?" A little Asian animal was full of doubts, pointing to the thatched hut next to it and asked, "Aren't our windows all made of thatch and wood?"

"That's different, the glass is shaped like a slab, but it's basically transparent, and we can cast through it and see what's behind it. The glass windows keep out the wind and rain, but also let the sun shine directly into the house."

Everyone scratched their heads and looked at each other, because there was no concept of "transparency", so they couldn't even imagine what the glass in Shen Huaijin's mouth looked like.

Shen Huaijin smiled and said, "It's okay. After I make it, everyone will understand what's going on. Is there enough coal? I'll get some first."

"Hey, Jin, do you want to use coal to burn it?" Han asked in surprise, he still remembered that Shen Huaijin once said that using coal as fuel is not good for forged iron tools, so they have never dared to use coal in the tribe. , "This is not very good."

"Yes, yes." The sub-beasts on the side also shouted, "It's better to use wood, we will help you chop."

"What are you talking about? Coal is convenient and efficient. Why don't you use it?" Shen Huaijin didn't react for a while, and looked at everyone strangely, not understanding why they were so wary of coal. It was obviously a very convenient fuel. .

After everyone's explanations, Shen Huaijin realized that it was a misunderstanding. He explained dumbfoundingly: "There is a kind of sulfur in coal, and burning it with iron will make the forged iron tools change." Brittle, that's why I said try to use charcoal forged iron instead of coal. But it doesn't mean we refuse to use coal, after all, burning coal can achieve a higher kiln temperature, so in other cases, especially when burning glass, Coal is more suitable."

Han was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that everyone had misunderstood for so long, he said anxiously: "Don't be dazed, hurry up and move some over for Jin."

Seeing the sub-beasts running to fetch coal for him, Shen Huaijin patted Han on the shoulder, and said warmly: "Han, you have been a wizard assistant, so you should have more thinking ability than other sub-beasts. Sometimes I may not be able to do it in advance. Explain everything clearly. If you think there is anything strange, you can ask me. You see, in this matter, the other sub-beasts have already brought coal back, and the tribe has to suffer and spend more time chopping wood. Isn't it worth it?"

"I..." Han murmured, and lowered her head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Jin, I really didn't think of this."

"Why are you so serious, I'm just giving you an opinion." Shen Huaijin smiled and put his shoulder on Dinghan's shoulder, and turned slightly to look directly at the other's drooping eyes, "If there is something wrong, I didn't make it clear It has nothing to do with you. Han, I said this because I believe that your ability can help me, after all, some things are not enough for me alone."

He straightened his body, his eyes passed over the blue and yellow land, the rushing stream and the members of the tribe who were in a hurry, and finally fixed on the two tall city walls that were getting closer at the entrance of the valley.

His voice was very soft, but it was carried by the wind far and far.

"We can only build a better tribe if we work together."

The silver-haired orc on the top of the city wall seemed to have sensed it, and slowly got up to look back. The eyes of the two collided in mid-air, and the contract hidden in the forehead tied them together, and Shen Huaijin smiled slightly.

His side face was coated with a light golden light by the setting sun in the west, and his eyes under the crow-feather eyelashes were as bright as stars.

Han raised his head and happened to bump into this scene, he was stunned, and finally understood why Xiu had identified Shen Huaijin at a glance.

Because he has enough convincing power.

Shen Huaijin looked away, but found that Han was staring at him blankly. He raised his eyebrows and was about to say a few more words, but was interrupted by the lively voices of the sub-beasts.

"Jin, let's help you transport the coal across the bridge!"

"Okay!" Shen Huaijin responded quickly, and now he didn't have time to chat. He patted Han on the shoulder, with a slight smile on his face, and there was no trace of haze in Qingyue's voice, as if it was the most hearty The weather, "Let's go, remember to think about what I said."

After a long time, Han faced the air, nodded softly but firmly, "Yeah!"
