The base has a lot of manpower because of gunpowder to help mine. Shen Huaijin is also kind enough to ask everyone to make some window frames and install window and door hinges for him.

These items are naturally much more refined than the previous agricultural tools, sticks, etc. He didn't have much hope at the beginning, thinking that they can be used barely, and the upgrade will be discussed later.

It's just that I didn't expect the goods to be delivered from the base in just two days.The young orc who was in charge of running the errands sent the window frames of the same specification and the hinges and screws, which looked a bit rough but were practical, directly to Shen Huaijin.

Shen Huaijin was very surprised, "You did it so fast?"

The young orc who came to deliver the goods scratched his head in embarrassment, and said modestly: "We also tried many times to make a decent one. Those that can't be used are re-burned and then used for other things."

Shen Huaijin flipped through the delivered items and paid attention to the delicate parts of those small objects. He was not stingy with compliments, "You guys are really experienced, and your technology has matured to this point. It's awesome! These things are amazing. You helped me a lot, thank you."

"Hey, you're welcome." The orc smiled naively, "Jin, do you have any iron tools that you need to make? If you have any, give me the blueprints, and we will make them for you right away." .Anyway, we don’t need many people to mine now, and we have built two more iron smelting shaft furnaces, and the speed of forging iron is faster.”

After being reminded by him, Shen Huaijin also considered that she was about to install doors and add various interior furniture to the house, so she said, "Just right, I would like to trouble you to make me some more nails and plane blades."

"Plane...?" The young orc repeated inexplicably.

"It's a tool for cutting wood." Shen Huaijin explained: "I want you to help me break out the blade inside. As for the other parts, I can ask Shi to help me do it."

"Okay!" The orc agreed heartily, "Jin, just give me the blueprint of that plane."

"Then wait for me for a while."

Shen Huaijin hurried back to the house, drew the blueprint and took it to the orc, but before handing it to the other party, he persuaded him earnestly, "It is very hard to be stationed in the base itself, and you can also take a good rest with the help of gunpowder." , the plane is not in a hurry, don't rush the progress for me, after all, the body is the biggest honor of labor, understand?"

"Understood!" The young orc smiled, showing two rows of white teeth, and his face was full of vigor.

"Okay, go back quickly, be careful on the road."

Shen Huaijin took some candied chestnuts that he planned to give to the cubs, and asked the orc to eat them on the road. He watched the other party's back disappear at the corner of the valley mouth, and then geared up to make and install the glass windows.

He picked up the window frame on the ground, compared with the current shape of the glass which was not in a regular shape, carefully drew the size, and carefully cut the glass into squares of the same size.

The two opposite window frames can just fit six square glasses. Shen Huaijin used the accumulated resin to install the glass piece by piece, and then used hinges, screws, etc. to nail the glass window to the window frame on the wall. together.

He pushed the installed window outside and closed it in the house, and repeated it several times to confirm that the movement of the window was correct before he was relieved.

The morning sun shines through the blue-tinted glass onto the heated kang covered with mats, which smudges the area into a warm and soft light, which is warm but not too glaring. If you are in a cold day, you can also be fascinated by this kind of light. Waking up to the sun is definitely a pleasant thing.

After Shen Huaijin sighed, he realized the benefits of glass windows, so he installed the remaining two windows in the east wing without stopping.

One of the three windows is above the bathtub in the bathroom, the other is above the heated Kang, and the other is facing the stove in the main room and facing the courtyard.In this way, the east, south, and north sides are all taken care of, and the lighting of the house is excellent.

Shen Huaijin sat comfortably in the room, enjoying the sunshine with her eyes closed.But in the end it was still hot, so he didn't make any extra stops. After tidying up the house a bit, he went out to pick wood for the door.

He walked towards the edge of the valley and directly entered a dim cave.

There are actually countless caves, large and small, hidden under the green cover of the inner side of the mountain in the valley. One of the caves with a reasonable distance and size was used by Shen Huaijin to hoard and dry wood.There are not only old wood that has been dried in the shade for two or three years, but also some new wood that he added slowly for future needs.

This cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the humidity is not too high, so it is suitable for drying wood in the shade.Shen Huaijin also heard from Shi that when the Dahe tribe first moved to this valley in the early years, everyone barely survived in the caves, and slowly built thatched cottages after they stabilized.

While recalling Shi's words, Shen Huaijin picked out a few pieces of good wood, marked them one by one, and waited for Li to come and move them together when he was free.

Although he told the young orc running errands not to worry, within two days, the base quickly delivered all the things he needed.

Shen Huaijin left behind the iron nails, and handed over the planer blades and drawings to Shi, asking him to make the planer for him.

Shi not only responded to his request, but also asked with bright eyes: "Jin, this plane looks really useful, can I make one for myself?"

It was only then that Shen Huaijin realized that Shi, as a qualified and even fanatical handicraft enthusiast, was naturally delighted with woodworking tools such as planes, and he said straightforwardly: "Of course, Shi, you can do it with confidence. I'll ask for another iron blade for you."

"Okay, okay!" Shi replied excitedly.

Because he was full of enthusiasm, he researched and manufactured it very quickly, and sent the plane to Shen Huaijin the next day, and the iron blade that Shen Huaijin wanted was also delivered quickly, and Shi took it back just in time.

With the plane, Shen Huaijin pulled Li and brought back all the marked wood from the cave.The two split the rough logs into boards, saw the appropriate lengths, and then planed them flat with a plane.

One piece after another of the same size wooden boards were made and piled aside. Shen Huaijin first used these wooden boards to nail a double-layer door frame structure, and then nailed the door panels on both sides, and at the same time used leftover materials of appropriate size to caulk and reinforce the joints, so that the wooden door The rough shape is out.

Then add handles and hinges, and install them on the wall with the door frame nailed. A log-colored wooden door is finished, and it can be closed with a latch inside the house.

So far, the overall structure and main assembly of the East Wing have been completely completed, and the rest is only the interior soft decoration.

Originally, the furniture in the house was made of wood that had not been dried in the shade, and the quality was very average, so Shen Huaijin decided to build a new set of furniture for the new house.

This time with a plane, the new wooden furniture looks more beautiful as a whole, not as rough as the old furniture used now.

The two of them gathered together to discuss how to decorate the new house, which was interesting.When Shen Huaijin was making furniture, she still wanted to use leftover materials to carve decorations.

"How about the horns of the carved big-eared beast?" Shen Huaijin looked over and over at the cut wood, asking for Li's opinion.

"Anything is fine." The orc was busy nailing the kang cabinet, and said concisely.

"Then I'll start right away." Shen Huaijin muttered, and went up with a chisel and a hammer, but he obviously overestimated his skills, and after some operations, he finally carved a four-dimensional image, which looked like an old tree The branches that were half destroyed by the fire were average.

"It's so ugly..." He put the wood carving aside in disgust, but he still couldn't believe that his craftsmanship could be so poor, so he picked out another piece of wood of about the same size from the leftovers to carve.

...and ended up with two ugly wood carvings.

Shen Huaijin sighed, held the two wood carvings up to his eyes and looked at them carefully, and observed them very hard, "I thought they were ugly at first, but after a long time, there is a kind of natural and simple beauty."

He talked to himself, tried to find it, and then went to the house and brought two pieces of fluorite to put on it. Stone, it looks exceptionally natural beauty.

Shen Huaijin was finally satisfied.

During the day-to-day renovation, the interior of the house has taken on a new look. From his modern aesthetic point of view, the rough and generous industrial style is matched with the interesting log color system, which will not be too dull, but also show individuality.

Entering through the door is a set of tables, chairs and various green plants that can be used for a short rest. Turning to the right is a stove for burning fires and warm kangs in cold days.

Entering another door is the bedroom. The kang is set up along the window, with mats and bedding spread on it, and a kang cabinet is placed at the end of the bed for storage. On the cabinet are Shen Huaijin's handmade wood carvings and fluorite.In the bedroom, there are all kinds of bead strings that Shen Huaijin bought from merchants for decoration, and the windows inside the room are bright and clean, with good lighting, making people feel warm and cozy.

Going further inside is the bathroom. The first thing that catches the eye is a simple wooden hollow screen, which can not only block some moisture but also be used for changing clothes.Bypassing the screen is Shen Huaijin's long-awaited bathtub, which is embedded with pebbles and a small bench for bathing.There is a small wooden shelf nailed to the wall next to the bathtub, where you can put some toiletries.When the upper window is opened, bamboo water can flow in, and it is sufficient to close the window and draw the curtains when taking a bath.

Everything is so simple and simple but not warm.

After working hard for a long time, the small one-story house was finally built. Shen Huaijin subconsciously grabbed the arm of the silver-haired orc beside him, and said warmly to him: "When I lived alone in the thatched cottage with air leakage in the first cold season, I just thought that one day I would live in a house with black bricks and black tiles, with a warm kang, and a kitchen and bathroom. At that time, it was so far away from my dream, but I didn’t expect it to come true today.”

He smiled slightly, his amber eyes were like sugar water flowing, soft and sweet.

Li lowered his head and kissed his trembling eyelids lightly, and joked: "At that time, you were afraid of the cold, and you looked so good sleeping next to me. When I looked at your sleeping face, I couldn't help but think, if you always Just live in a cold thatched hut and need my company forever."

"However, now I hope that you can be comfortable and healthy, whether I am with you or not." He smiled a little from his throat, and said meaningfully: "Anyway, we are already tied together. Can't get rid of me."

The author has something to say: Build a nest little by little like a little hamster.
