After Luo Shixing decided not to worry about these things, he turned around and instructed those people on how to deal with the clam shells. After the fishy smell was removed, the clam shells had to be cut into appropriate sizes according to a certain ratio, and then polished.

After observing many clam shells, Luo Shixing chose the clam shells that were bigger than the palm of an adult as the standard, and used all the clam shells that were smaller than this.

If it is too small, even if it is polished, it will be a small piece. At that time, a lot of window lattices will be needed for inlaying. He made this thing for light transmission. Too many window lattices did not improve the lighting. What is he doing with such effort.

However, even if a standard clam shell is established, there are still large and small shells, so they simply asked them to cut according to two specifications.

One is that the large clam shells are cut naturally to be large. This kind is to be inlaid in the middle part, and then the rest is cut smaller, which is used to inlay the corners or the places where the demand for windows is not too large, such as the bathroom. .

Cutting clam shells is not the most difficult part, but grinding is the most difficult part. It takes a lot of skill to polish clam shells to the point where they are translucent but not broken.

In the beginning, people who didn't know these things couldn't do it at all. Luo Shixing didn't even dare to come up, so he asked these slaves to try with big clam shells.

Big clam shells are very rare, if it fails, Luo Shixing will be heartbroken.

Those small clamshells that are not qualified to be used as exposed tile windows will come in handy. Let these people practice their hands first, and polish them until they are translucent, so that they can see the outside scenery at a glance through the clamshells.

But this must be incomparable with glass, because the clamshell itself has its own texture, so the scenery seen through the bright tiles made of clamshells is also distorted.

But this has made him very satisfied!

Luo Shixing watched these people grind clam shells every day while watching his house being built little by little.

From the foundation pillars at the beginning to the brick walls later, and then the first floor, second floor and third floor, it gradually became similar to the model, and even because of the different surrounding environment, he thought it looked better than the model.

Luo Shixing could spend a whole day watching the house next door being built, but he didn't have that much time to watch it. After the clam shell grinding skills of his slaves became more and more mature, they began to grind the clam shells they needed.

And Luo Shixing needs to start making window frames. The window frame should not only be the frame around it, but also find a way to allow those clam shells to be embedded in it.

In fact, this point feels more difficult, and the style of the window lattice needs to be designed.

The clam shells formulated by Luo Shixing are all cut into diamond shapes, which can minimize the waste of clam shells.

It's just that the shape of the Mingwa is not so good if the window lattices are all regular diamond shapes, so Luo Shixing directly arranged irregular diamond shapes, and even drew some patterns in the middle.

When drawing the pattern, he was childlike and made a shape of a cat’s head in the middle of the window. He was just drawing for fun, but after drawing it, he thought it was quite cute. After thinking about it, he decided to use this in his house.

For Cheng Jingwei's words, he designed a fan shape in the middle, with a bottle in the middle, and only hoped that this person would stop thinking about such dangerous things every day, and be safe and happy.

As for other people, it is made into a relatively ordinary irregular diamond-shaped arrangement, and there is no pattern in the middle. Anyway, the windows can be replaced in the future, and the exposed tile windows are not easy to make. If you want to use them when the house is built, you can’t do too much. complicated.

Now he doesn't need to do this kind of carpentry work. He just needs to draw the pattern on the clay board, and there will naturally be people scrambling to do it. Well, the most outstanding one will do.

In the beginning, Luo Shixing couldn't bear to disobey everyone's wishes, so he basically accepted all the ones that were sent over. Anyway, they couldn't be used in the house, but they could be used in other places, such as warehouses and the like.

However, after everyone knew that he would hardly refuse, the number of window frames sent suddenly increased. In the end, let alone building a house, it would be no problem to replace all the bamboo houses!

Luo Shixing was so disturbed that many of the windows could not be used at all. In the end, he could only stop this kind of thing, and then find the person who made the window frame the most to his liking.

However, he didn't want to prostitute the other party for nothing, so he directly took two relatively small pearls from the box as service fees.

Seeing him holding the pearls, the family kowtowed in fright and did not dare to accept his things. Luo Shixing held the pearls and thought for a while and said, "This is for you."

At this moment, the family accepted it with great gratitude, and went back to work overtime to make the window frame, and even made it more carefully and meticulously, and the progress was even faster than he thought.

Luo Shixing couldn't help shaking his head, fair and just transactions are not good, rewards are not a problem, this value is simple.

But he didn't have the time to care about these people's values. People have been down like this for generations. How can it be so easy to break it? Even these small tribes are much more stubborn than the Han people, and the Han people also pay attention to "princes, generals Kind of like that", and these tribes are really class-solidified.

After the window frames were gradually in place, Luo Shixing began to arrange the positions of these window frames facing the house.

According to Luo Shixing's setting, there are four windows facing north and south on the first floor, and one window on the east and west. This does not include the bathroom, and there will be another small window in the bathroom.

The same is true on the second floor, but the third floor is quite different. Apart from the bedroom and the study, nearly half of the third floor is a terrace. The door is of course also a sliding door.

So he directly asked the family to make a door according to the method of making a window frame, with a tiger painted on the door. This is the door from the living room to the terrace. The doors of their two rooms are simpler, without any special patterns .

In this way, the window frame is not so difficult, at least it is much easier than Mingwa.

Because the Mingwa had to be polished every day, there was often powder flying around, Cheng Jingwei directly found an open space for these people to do it, anyway, he was not worried about people coming to steal it.

Luo Shixing's status as a high priest plus his divine power was a deterrent. These people would not dare to steal his things. What if the high priest complained to the Vulcan once he got angry, and the Vulcan became angry again?

Thinking about the big fire back then, the patriarch was fighting for power with the high priest. Seeing that he was about to lose, the high priest simply sacrificed himself to Vulcan.

As a result, the Ouluo clan was almost wiped out. Since then, no priests have been produced, but this story has been passed down.

Luo Shixing also felt that the appearance of powder flying all over the yard was not very good. There were all kinds of small animals in his yard, but he didn't waste the powder ground from those clam shells, and planned to mix it with lime and use it to paint the walls when the time came.

The clam shell itself is white, and even has its own pearlescent luster. It should look good on the wall, and lime, talcum powder and clay can be mixed into putty.

During this process, he also had to check the progress of the canal from time to time.

Nowadays, the canals are basically dug in sections. In order to allow Luo Shixing and the others to use the water as soon as possible, they first dug the canals from the side of the stream. Anyway, when the one dug from the riverside in the future merges with this one, nothing will happen question.

Strictly speaking, the canal is actually dug before the house.

Because it was too easy for everyone to dig a hole, at first Luo Shixing helped an in-law of the great elder's family choose a river mussel under Cheng Jingwei's hint, and opened a pearl that was slightly bigger than a soybean.

Although it is not as good as the ones that Luo Shixing opened before, it is already very good for ordinary people.

Even if this family has an in-law relationship with the Great Elder, they are actually not very rich. After all, the Ouluo clan is not big. If they have a family tree, their in-law relationship network may be comparable to those of the Great Tang family. People who can't reach each other can have relatives.

That family is considered the most active one. The whole family, old and young, joined forces to help dig the canal. Cheng Jingwei specially picked them because the members of this family, both men and women, have big mouths.

Sure enough, the family got the pearl and went back happily, and it spread throughout the county.

It is also thanks to this family that the canal can be dug so quickly.

Cheng Jingwei didn't just let Luo Shixing take action, he also found a reason for Luo Shixing - to help bring back the lost Luo Shixing.

When Luo Shixing heard about this plan, he almost rolled his eyes.

When did he get lost, using such an excuse is simply looking down on him!

However, this excuse was indeed the least troublesome one, so although Luo Shixing complained about Cheng Jingwei, he still followed what he said, and even walked a little further in the woods.

The direction he walked happened to be the direction where the family worked.

After the family found him and brought him back, everything fell into place.

No one doubted the rationality of this matter, because Luo Shixing lost his way in the mountains, and even the most experienced hunter of the Ouluo tribe dared not say that he would never get lost.

But Luo Shixing's trip was not in vain, because he saw something in the mountains that was almost ignored before - shiitake mushrooms!

Luo Shixing had been thinking about the mushrooms here before. Before he crossed over, he had heard how delicious the mushrooms in Yunnan were, but it was a pity that he had no chance to eat them until he crossed over.

Although the place where they are now is more southerly, the climate is actually relatively similar, and there should be all kinds of mushrooms.

It's just that when they didn't come by coincidence, it happened to be the dry season. Most of the things like mushrooms are easy to grow after the heavy rain, when the air is humid, and there will be much less in the dry season.

So Luo Shixing has never seen a few kinds of mushrooms, and when he saw them picked up occasionally, Cheng Jingwei asked him to throw them away after seeing them.

Luo Shixing was very obedient in this respect, don't ask, it would be a waste of life to ask.

But this time, Cheng Jingwei didn't need to look at him to know that this was edible!

He happily picked a bamboo basket and came back. When Cheng Jingwei came to pick him up, he thought that the little lynx would be unhappy, but he never expected that not only was he happy, but he even jumped up and down while walking happily.

Cheng Jingwei lifted the banana leaf covering the basket from behind and asked with some doubts: "What are you doing with this? It doesn't taste good."

The taste of shiitake mushrooms can be regarded as the heaviest among all mushrooms. Many people don't like it, and Cheng Jingwei is one of them.

Cheng Jingwei was obviously one of them, and Luo Shixing walked back with his back to him while smiling, "This food has high nutritional value, so eat some if you don't like it."

Cheng Jing frowned slightly, obviously disliking it very much, but because it was Luo Shixing who said this, he didn't refute it.

Luo Shixing didn't have to make him admit that it was delicious. In fact, even Luo Shixing himself didn't think it was very delicious.

However, shiitake mushrooms have great effects, and what Luo Shixing values ​​most is that shiitake mushrooms themselves contain sodium glutamate.

The scientific name of this thing is generally not known to many people, but many people will understand it when it is replaced by the popular name - monosodium glutamate.

MSG is a good thing for refreshing!

After Luo Shixing went back, most of the people who knew the shiitake mushrooms looked unacceptable when they saw it. Even the Xue family brothers and the Xiao family siblings who didn't know this mushroom came over to have a look, then pinched their noses and asked: "What does the lynx cat want this for?"

Don't be so boring that you want to tease people, right?

Seeing that everyone didn't like this thing very much, Luo Shixing snorted: "They are all ignorant."

However, he did not cook with shiitake mushrooms that day, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Luo Shixing spread all these shiitake mushrooms on a bamboo mat to dry, and then went out to collect them every day, until there was no place to put them in the yard before stopping.

The smell that evaporates from the shiitake mushrooms when they are drying makes everyone a little uncomfortable. It feels like there is a vague smell lingering at the tip of the nose during the day and night.

After two days of this, they suspected that they were going to turn into shiitake mushrooms.

Especially after the people in the county knew that the high priest liked mushrooms, many people would collect mushrooms and send them to Luo Shixing.

Their house was overcrowded with shiitake mushrooms for a while.

Cheng Jingwei was the first one who couldn't take it anymore, couldn't help but went to Luo Shixing and said, "We can't keep so many mushrooms at home, can I find you a place to dry them?"

Please, let their noses go.

It was rare for Luo Shixing to see Cheng Jingwei's uncomfortable and helpless expression, so he couldn't help laughing twice and said, "Okay."

Well, he doesn't like shiitake mushrooms anyway, the taste is too strong, so it's better to change it to another place.

He said casually: "By the way, ask if anyone knows how to make shiitake mushroom hyphae. I need to find a place to grow shiitake mushrooms."

Cheng Jingwei:? ? ? ? ?

Is this going to be dry with shiitake mushrooms?

For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder if the little lynx was too busy recently, and someone did all the physical activities, and the house seemed to be built without his trouble.

So he had an idea and said: "By the way, you said before that you need to add some special patterns to the fence on the terrace. Now that the third floor has been modified and the fence has taken a prototype, what are you going to do?"

Luo Shixing immediately regained his energy: "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

Cheng Jingwei breathed a sigh of relief: Thank God, the little lynx finally stopped playing with mushrooms.

Luo Shixing looked at his expression and hehe in his heart, now that he looks down on shiitake mushrooms, sooner or later Cheng Jingwei will regret it!

Of course, the most important thing now is the fence. Once the fence is done and the door and window frames are installed, the house is basically finished!
