Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Chapter 153 Planning

There are many blast furnaces standing beside the stream, and the raging fire is burning.This time, with the help of the hydraulic bellows, the orcs saved a lot of energy and spent the extra time making bricks and tiles.

The brick kiln was built on the base early in the morning, and it came in handy this time.

Shen Huaijin simply taught everyone how to mix the mold and mud, and the rest was repetitive work, so he didn't need to worry about it.

The few people had been nesting in the base for about half the hot season, and now it was finally time to go back, and they hurried back to the valley almost non-stop.

Compared with the open-air base, the shaded valley is obviously much cooler.The three who rushed back to the tribe first washed their faces by the stream, and wiped off all the sweat they had shed during the journey, and then parted ways. Shi went back to the other side of the stream, and Shen Huaijin and Li Ze returned to their long-lost home.

The room that has not been ventilated for a long time and has been exposed to the scorching sun for a long time is dull and hot, so I drew the curtains tightly, and took some saltpeter from the stockpile, dissolved it in water and put it in the room.

By the time Shen Huaijin went to the bathroom to take a shower, the coolness had dissipated, and the temperature had dropped a lot.Because the doors and windows were closed and the heavy blackout curtains were drawn, even though it was afternoon, the room was a bit dark, which made him feel tired after working for a long time.

Shen Huaijin wiped her hair with a clean cloth towel, threw it aside casually, and then lay down heavily on the wide kang bed, her voice filled with indescribable satisfaction and joy.

"It's finally finished. If you don't come back, you will die of sunburn and exhaustion at the base."

Li laughed a little and walked to the side of the bed, supported Shen Huaijin's shoulders, and propped up his upper body.Stretching out his long arms, the silver-haired orc retrieved the cloth towel thrown aside by the other party, and continued to wipe his messy and wet black hair.

"Didn't you say that you can endure hardship before you go?"

"That's different." Shen Huaijin retorted. He closed his eyes and raised his jaw slightly to facilitate the movements of the people behind him. The exposed neck was delicate and slender. It’s the same thing, but this time it’s worth it.”

As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing again. Before, he really couldn't guarantee that he could really create a thunderstorm.

Li gently wiped his hair, and gave him a massage once or twice, "It's really worth it. With the thunder you mentioned, in the future, as long as we can stand on the city wall, we can blow up the beasts outside the city."

Under his movements, Shen Huaijin felt drowsy with comfort, and groaned with the light pressure of the opponent's fingertips, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.

It was probably the compensatory sleep after a long time of exhaustion. Shen Huaijin didn't wake up until the sun was shining the next day.

Before he went out to look for work, several orcs and sub-beasts who had a good relationship took the initiative to come to the door.

Shen Huaijin tidied up a bit, and then invited everyone into the house.

As soon as they entered, several people were startled by the coolness of the room. An walked back and forth twice, feeling the dryness all over her body was removed, "Jin, your room is so cool!"

"Yes." Shen Huaijin's voice was still a little hoarse, and he said slowly while pouring water: "The tiles are well laid, the curtains block the sunlight, and there is saltpeter to cool down the temperature. Naturally, it is much cooler than a thatched cottage."

Everyone kept asking whether it was suitable to live in the base, whether things were going well, etc. Shen Huaijin said yes to each one, holding a glass of water and smiling: "Everyone came to me specifically, probably just to ask about this. two words?"

An Hehe smiled, "Jin, you see that you have also come back from the base, can we start building a house?"

"Okay. Everyone should be fine at noon. Let's discuss the layout of the house." It just so happened that he had just had a good night's sleep and was full of energy, so he could rest assured that he could get things done as soon as possible.

"They're all here!" Yang beside him hurriedly said, "Everyone is in their own rooms, you can come as soon as you call."

Hearing this, Shen Huaijin put the cup on the table and walked out, "Then let's settle the battle quickly."

Several people hurriedly followed.

Shen Huaijin pushed open the door, and the dazzling and scorching sun came in, making him frown.

He greeted Li who was working in the shed, and they went to the other side of the stream together.

There was no wind in the valley, and even the birds lost the strength to sing, and there was no sound. The grass on the ground had been exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, and it looked yellowish.

But when they heard that they were going to discuss building a house, the orcs and sub-beasts in the tribe got out of their thatched huts excitedly, squeezed together to sit in a shaded place, and listened quietly to Shen Huaijin's proposal.

Surrounded in the middle, Shen Huaijin suddenly had the illusion of giving lessons to the children.

He lowered his head and coughed twice, took out another large uncut piece of paper, and simply drew the valleys, streams, farmland and the current thatched cottage on it, and then circled the periphery of the thatched cottage with his fingers, "I want to draw Our houses are built in some places, try to be as neat as possible, and leave a passable path in the middle. As for the thatched huts in the middle, we can live in them temporarily, and they will be demolished after we move to the new house, which is connected to the large area of ​​the square The open space can also be used to dry rice or something."

"By the way, a spacious school and a pharmacy will be built on the square, and the current ones can't stand it anymore. This time, we will also build a textile mill and a paper mill downstream, so that the Asian beasts don't have to worry about it." We have to weave in the open air. Hmm... Recently, there are quite a lot of places where woodworking is used, so let’s build another woodworking workshop, hosted by Shi.”

Shen Huaijin described the details bit by bit, speaking at a leisurely pace, and the people around her listened very carefully.

Qi rubbed his chin, "Tsk", "It's really more comfortable to put it like this, but if you live in those houses far from the stream, washing things and so on will be more troublesome."

Shen Huaijin had already thought of this. He raised his chin and signaled everyone to look across the stream. "There is also a bamboo path in the square, so it will be more convenient for everyone to use water."

Li looked around at everyone, "Is there any other problem?"

"No problem, just follow this." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay." Shen Huaijin put away the paper, and said bluntly, "Everyone, get ready and finish the urgent things at hand first, and we will officially start construction in a few days."

Within two days, the baked green bricks and black tiles from the base were also delivered little by little. Everyone was gearing up and couldn't help but rush to build a house.

Shen Huaijin didn't delay any longer, and led everyone to the field first to mark out the location, and began to dig the foundation here.

In addition to the necessary collection and hunting, all the orcs and sub-beasts in the valley put down other things, and focused on building houses with all their strength, trying to be like Shen Huaijin before the fall of the season. All set up properly.

This time the adult longhorns are all on the way of transportation, but fortunately the three small ones have grown to the size of adults, so they can help.Shen Huaijin's main room and west wing also had everyone's help, so he didn't have to do it alone.

Under the scorching sun, everyone sweated profusely and exhausted all available tools to dig deep into the hard soil to lay a solid foundation for future houses.

As bricks and tiles were sent into the valley in batches, the foundations everywhere were also compacted, and frames were erected on the flat ground, waiting for the official bricklaying.

It's just that before everyone mixed the cement sand, a thunderstorm sounded from the sky during the day, and the orcs and sub-beasts who were busy in the square were stunned. It wasn't until the first drop of water hit them that someone exclaimed, :"It's raining!"

The endless rainy season finally came.

Everyone kept walking, orderly in a hurry, and moved all the things that could not touch the water into the nearest place that could keep out the rain.

The rain was heavy very fast, and Shen Huaijin also helped move it for a while, seeing that it was almost cleaned up, she hurriedly dragged Li back and ran back.

Holding his breath, he ran faster and faster, and some small puddles formed on the wet and uneven muddy ground, and every step he took was a small water splash.

After rushing all the way back to the house, Shen Huaijin dared to breathe a sigh of relief, but it was a pity that the two of them were already soaked through.

He glanced at Li with drooping silver hair, who was also in a mess, and remembered the scene when the two were running wildly, so he couldn't help laughing, which attracted the latter's attention.

"What? Is it funny?" the orc said helplessly.

"No, I just thought it was fun." Shen Huaijin frowned, patted her strong arms and went to the bathroom inside, and said lightly, "Go, go take a shower."

The silver-haired orc didn't say a word, but looked at Shen Huaijin's back meaningfully for a while, and then raised his heels.

In the afternoon, the sky seemed to be broken in half, and the rain was pouring down to its heart's content.Shen Huaijin looked at the gloomy sky outside the house, and couldn't help but be speechless, "This is a plan to wipe out all the rain that will rain for the next half a year."

Although there was a lot of rain, the weather was hot and humid. Not only did it not bring any comfort, but it made people feel bored. After discussing with Li, Shen Huaijin planned to eat some sweet potatoes with side dishes for dinner, and then watch a movie before resting. .

The rain became lighter at night, and the pattering sound gradually made people's minds peaceful, and Shen Huaijin was able to have a good night's sleep.

When he got up the next day, the rain stopped for a while, so Shen Huaijin quickly opened the window to ventilate.At this time, the air has become much clearer, and it still has the fragrance of green grass and soil and the smell after the rain.

He took a deep breath, and the dryness in his chest was swept away, leaving only the clear fragrance.

"Comfortable!"

The wild birds and furry beasts, which had been disturbed by the rain all night, heard his voice and quickly called out. Shen Huaijin slapped his forehead, and then remembered that he was busy avoiding the rain yesterday and forgot to feed the livestock.

Since the rain might not come again anytime soon, and it was hard for him to graze, he hurriedly grabbed some hay that was usually prepared, and also asked for some leftovers from the other side of the stream to feed them.

Seeing them feasting on them, Shen Huaijin's own stomach growled, he scratched his earlobe, and shouted at the orc who was lighting a fire and boiling water: "Li, what do you want to eat today?"

"Anything is fine." The orc said succinctly.

Shen Huaijin curled her lips, ran back to the work shed, sat on the railing and looked at the distant mountains surrounded by clouds and smoke.

Li walked by and suggested: "Jin, the peaches are a little ripe, why don't we pick them and make some jam, and stock them up for your usual desserts."

"Dessert..." Shen Huaijin rolled his eyes and put on a smile on his face, "I thought of it! How about we make some crystal cakes out of glutinous rice. This kind of food is quite suitable for this season, anyway, we can't do much now Live, how about just doing this?"

Li didn't know what "crystal" was, but he was used to Shen Huaijin's occasional whim, and was willing to spend time and energy with him to make these interesting little things, so he nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"it is good."
