I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Regardless of whether Cheng Jingwei is a capitalist or not, his proposal is really good, and both Rabbit and Luo Shixing should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

What surprised him was that after he sent the three rabbits back to the rabbit nest, he found that they were crowded together in a certain corner, leaving a large space for the female rabbit.

Luo Shixing lay down on the side of the rabbit's nest curiously, ready to observe, what is this?First come, first served or respect for pregnant women?

But soon the four rabbits told him with practical actions: You think too much.

It's because the pregnant rabbit is so fierce!

Perhaps because of having a child, this rabbit has a strong sense of territory. Whenever other rabbits dare to take a step beyond the threshold, it can rush to beat them up.

The three male rabbits were slightly smaller than her individually, but these three were in a group, so Luo Shixing was lucky to see these three rabbits grouped together and planned to attack the female rabbit, but they were pressed and beaten.

Luo Shixing patted the wall of the rabbit's nest and said, "Can you three do it? The three of you can't beat one of them. Don't you lose face, no, don't you lose the rabbit!"

Cheng Jingwei, who was on the side, made all the mud for burning bricks, and when he turned his head, he saw Luo Shixing lying there watching intently, scolding the three rabbits angrily.

He came over and patted the cat's head and asked, "Why are you so serious?"

Luo Shixing raised his head and said very seriously: "I think the working ability of these three rabbits may be average, and the three of them can't beat that one."

Cheng Jingwei was also startled, took a serious look, and happened to see the second group fight, maybe it should be called heads-up, the female rabbit even beat up the three rabbits and screamed.

At first, Cheng Jingwei wondered if the little lynx was too boring, but it turned out that the rabbit fights were so addictive, but he didn't expect it to be quite exciting, and said with emotion: "I've never seen such a fierce rabbit, probably this one with the Ordinary rabbits are different."

In fact, he has never seen a rabbit that can do sit-ups in two lifetimes, it's been a long time.

Luo Shixing looked at it for a while, thinking about whether to isolate these rabbits, or what should we do if we always fight like this and reduce the number of staff?This is all he exchanged for pork, and he still counts on them to work!

But soon he found out that the female rabbit didn't intend to kill all three of them, as long as they didn't go to the territory it had designated, people wouldn't bother to take care of these three scumbags.

Luo Shixing simply didn't care, let them adapt by themselves, and hit them casually, as long as they didn't delay their work.

Hey, before he knew it, his mentality became capitalist.

During the noon break, Luo Shixing watched Cheng Jingwei make rectangular models out of bamboo, which seemed to be for making bricks.

Only then did Luo Shixing remember that he didn't seem to have discussed this matter with Cheng Jingwei, so he couldn't help asking, "How do you plan to burn bricks?"

Cheng Jingwei said with a strange expression: "Isn't that the burning?"

Luo Shixing's head was full of black lines, so how did he burn it?

Later, after Cheng Jingwei's explanation, he realized that the other party was planning to fire solid mud bricks, which were different from blue bricks and red bricks. Green bricks and red bricks also had a cooling and oxidation process, but mud bricks did not, because there was no brick kiln .

Therefore, it is definitely not as strong as those bricks in terms of strength, but it can also be used flexibly.

Luo Shixing clapped his hands and said, "What are you burning solid bricks for? Hollow bricks."

Cheng Jingwei had never heard of hollow bricks, so he asked: "Hollow bricks? Why do you need to burn hollow bricks? Can it be used?"

Luo Shixing said with a smile: "Of course it can be used. The hollow brick should be able to insulate the heat better... right?"

In fact, he is not sure whether hollow bricks can keep heat or not. He just heard people say so, but it is true that hollow bricks save materials.

Burning bricks requires soil. Although it seems to be everywhere, the problem is that it takes time to dig the soil. Even with the help of rabbits, it is not really possible to do nothing at all.

The cellars they dig are not all soil, but also stones, so it is not enough to use the excavated soil as mud bricks to lay ice cellars, and the soil is relatively moist, and it is best to dry it before mixing it with mud.

Making mud is actually a delicate job. Cheng Jingwei has to carefully calculate the ratio of adding plant ash to the mud. It may not be so delicate, but it is not enough to add it casually.

What's more, burning bricks also needs firewood. In fact, sun-dried bamboo is not suitable for firewood, and sun-dried shrubs can be burned for a short time, which makes Cheng Jingwei have to cut down trees.

Looking at it this way, the firing time of hollow bricks is shorter than that of solid bricks, which saves more energy. Whether hollow bricks can keep warm is second.

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei was quite interested: "Then what do you want to do?"

It is impossible for hollow bricks to be completely empty inside, right?How fragile are the bricks fired like that?

According to his own experience, Cheng Jingwei's intuition told him that it should be hollow in proportion.

Luo Shixing thought about the hollow bricks of the later generations and felt that they could not be completely copied. The later generations were better than them in terms of material and craftsmanship, and copying them completely would be a dead end.

What's more, the bricks they fired have a very special feature, that is, they need to leave trenches, which are used to divert water as mentioned earlier.

So the best way is to open two holes on the short side of the brick according to the proportion, hollow out, there is a support in the middle, and the weighing part inside should be in the shape of a cross.

After Luo Shixing drew the cross-section of the brick, he asked a little nervously: "Is this a bit too difficult?"

After all, to leave a cross in the center of the brick, no matter how hard it looks, Fan Mo might not be too easy to do.

Cheng Jingwei held his chin and thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to do it, just be careful when digging."

According to what Luo Shixing said, it is impossible to completely use Fan Mo for this brick, but he can make it in batches. After the mud brick is ready, it should be dried in the shade first. It's not too difficult to bake.

Luo Shixing frowned: "Isn't this too troublesome?"

Cheng Jingwei shook his head: "It's not too troublesome, at least it saves a lot of effort than chopping firewood."

Cheng Jingwei was smart, and he could see in a flash that the hollow bricks took less time to fire than solid bricks, and it was cost-effective!

After hearing this, Luo Shixing was relieved a lot, and he pushed Cheng Jingwei with his shoulder and said, "It's good if you think it can be used, but, do we have to find a way to make another groove on the brick? Will this be possible? too difficult?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "There is no need to fiddle with the bricks. When the time comes to lay the floor tiles, we can find a way to make a ditch. If the hollow bricks are broken apart, the inside will have grooves? Isn't this a ready-made ditch? ?"

Luo Shixing admired his ability to draw inferences from one instance to another. How did this person's brain grow?He, who proposed to burn hollow bricks, didn't expect this!

In this way, the difficulty of firing bricks is greatly reduced, because there is no need to think about whether opening grooves from the bricks will make the bricks fragile.

Cheng Jingwei's so-called burning bricks is not the same as putting them in a brick kiln in a serious manner in his impression. It is impossible for the two of them to build another brick kiln. It is really a monkey year to make an ice cellar.

He might as well just give up.

So they put the bricks upright next to the firepit in a simple and rude way, and then used branches to build a shelf that can cover the firepit, and then covered it with banana leaves to fix it. .

Of course, the banana leaf cover is more to prevent direct sunlight. The trees around their house have been almost cut down, and even the roots of the trees in the ground have been dug out, and the stumps serve as seats.

Therefore, there is nothing around that can block the sun. It is really humid here when it rains, but when it is sunny, the sun is quite strong.

If it is not covered, it would be a pity if the mud bricks cracked due to sun exposure during the baking process.

In fact, this method is the same as Cheng Jingwei's method of firing pottery before, except that bricks are more stable than pottery, at least they are less likely to break. Thinking about Cheng Jingwei, a veteran pottery maker would break one from time to time.

As the bricks were fired one by one, after digging the cellar for four or five days in a row, Cheng Jingwei couldn't bear it anymore and walked over to Luo Shixing and said, "Lynx cat, stop digging today, go out and play."

Although Luo Shixing didn't complain about hardship and tiredness, and he was very active in his work every day, he could tell that the little lynx was very tired after not going out for a few days.

I used to be bouncy and happy every day, but now I don’t like to talk in the dirt every day!

Luo Shixing: Digging the soil!Eat a mouthful of dirt with one mouth, who wants to talk!

Luo Shixing looked at Cheng Jingwei jumping down with a blank face and said, "What are you doing jumping down? You dare to jump so high, you don't need your feet?"

Now the deepest part of the pit is at least three meters above the ground, which is higher than a floor. Cheng Jingwei actually jumped down just like that. Although you don't need crutches now and your legs are pretty good, you can't be so vigorous.

Cheng Jingwei didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand to pinch his waist and lifted him up, sending him directly to the top of the earthen ladder.

Luo Shixing made this earthen ladder in the shape of a staircase for himself to go up and down. It is very easy to use, at least it is more stable than the bamboo ladder.

After standing firmly on the stairs, he couldn't laugh or cry and asked, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Jingwei waved at him: "Go quickly, the water in the house is gone, go fetch water."

Find an excuse to let the little lynx go out to let the wind out, or he is afraid that he will either stare at the rabbit digging the soil or dig the soil by himself, what should he do if he digs people stupid?

Luo Shixing didn't know why he was pumping, but after looking at it, he found that there was indeed not much water, so he didn't talk nonsense, and prepared to leave with the bucket.

But before he took two steps, he heard Cheng Jingwei shout: "Put on the hat!"

Luo Shixing: ...

Why is there still someone monitoring whether he wears a hat or not? It's outrageous!

His hat was just washed yesterday morning, it's so thick, I don't know if it's done properly?

While complaining, Luo Shixing went back to look at the tiger-headed hat, touched it and found that it was dry, and the washed tiger-headed hat turned into a bright and beautiful tiger-headed hat. Luo Shixing simply put it on his head again, and turned around Look at the rabbit nest.

Rabbits must work hard, his tiger hat is worn out, not only that, but it won't be suitable for him to wear a tiger hat when he grows up in two years.

But if it is cold in winter, you still need a hat, and the rabbit fur hat is very good!

The rabbits didn't know if they felt a collective shudder, but Luo Shixing had already walked away with the bucket without any psychological burden.

I have to say that there are too many days facing the loess and back to the sky. Going out to see the green mountains and green waters will really make people feel refreshed.

When he reached the edge of the stream, he was not in a hurry to fetch water. Instead, he took a stone to float the stream for a while, and laughed at the little fishes that were fleeing in a hurry.

Catching fish is not catching fish anymore.

He has eaten too much pork in the past two days, and now he has dismissed fish!

However, he still picked up the pork bits and pieces that he didn't want to eat and prepared to throw them into the river to feed the fish. If he didn't eat them now, he might still eat them in the future, so he had the right to feed them in advance.

Most of what they didn't eat were offal with a strong taste, and even pork kidneys couldn't be eaten, which made Luo Shixing very regretful.

Just as Luo Shixing was about to put the bamboo basket with the pig's internal organs on the ground and was about to fetch water before throwing food, a shadow suddenly jumped out from the side.

Luo Shixing was startled, his body reacted faster than his brain, he jumped out on the spot, and climbed up the tree beside him by the way.

When he looked down, he saw a... person with disheveled hair, grinning at him on all fours?
