Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Cleaning (Part II)

"Okay, don't make trouble, hurry up and clean up!" Ye Wan'er persuaded beside her, as if she was jealous.

"Good, good!"

While there are still a lot of yellow mud, my main task now is to make a stove.

With the experience of last time, it is not so scrambling now, after all, this kind of thing is still quite simple.

In a short time I made a long stove. I opened an eye in the chimney so I could boil the water while cooking.

I also set aside the place where I used to dry lamb and raisins, and used the heat of the chimney to evaporate the water from the food for long-term preservation.

It's really tiring, although I have the help of Luo Shijing's three daughters, but I still have back pain.

"It's hard work~ Qin Ming's big official~ It's not early, let's hurry up and nail the bed, otherwise where will we sleep at night?" Luo Shijing looked at the three rows of yellow mud ridges and said.

"Okay, let's move all the planks from before!"

I laid the planks on the loess ridge as before, and then used a few iron nails to nail the planks firmly to the trunk below.

It's surprisingly sturdy, but it's not in vain.

I put the shotgun and bullet box in the bottom of the bed, and threw all our miscellaneous stuff in the middle of the bed.

Then Luo Shijing and the three daughters laid out the mattress, and they couldn't wait to lie on it.

"Wow! It's so comfortable! I used to live on tatami mats, but now it's good, the luxurious big bed room!" Tian Mengling stretched his waist and sighed very comfortably.

"Shouldn't I thank the producer of such an excellent masterpiece?" I am now like a migrant worker farming in the countryside, my fingers are still clasped in my nose, and a little yellow mud has just gotten into my nostrils.

"Hey~ You're so obscene, Qin Ming, you look like you are asking for food on the street!" Luo Shijing looked at me with disgust.

"The three of you are looking for a smoke! I've been busy all day, my back and legs hurt, and I haven't seen anyone serve me, but they're all taunting me!"

"Okay, okay~ Big official, I'm going to cook for you!" Ye Wan'er learned from the maids in the ancient palace, and went to get busy.

Tonight is very comfortable, the rice is made by the three girls, but the stove is not very easy to use, so it is still very difficult to ignite the fire, after all, the furnace wall is relatively damp, not easy.

At night, Luo Shijing also carried Ye Wan'er and Tian Mengling on her back to massage me, it was very comfortable, and I fell asleep after a while.

In the past few days, I have been busy cleaning up the cave, and I have roughly repaired the fence of the wheat seedlings, and then expanded the home of the small animals a lot. 、

The little rabbits were smaller, so I placed them at the very edge of the cave, and the nests were stronger, and the emus were larger. So I put them relatively far away, and now they have a sense of belonging, and I don't think they can go when I open the fence gate.

Just like the last time we got on the ghost ship.

When the goat first came, it was still very kind, not eating or drinking, like a captured general, showing indomitability, helpless and unable to hold back its hunger and thirst, and finally gave in.

Wild animals have to be like this, only food can completely tame them.

And my most important task today is to repair the door and shed.

And I now remember the glass on the ghost ship from before.

It was all broken, and it was a pity, but if we could really bring back a piece, we might be able to put it on the door, so that at least there would be light in the cave, and it would not be so dark.

Speaking of light, out of the sunlight of nature, we actually have an important tool.

That's right!

It seems that before repairing the door and shed, I still have to solve the problem of light.

I couldn't wait to grab some fatty lamb and chop it into meat sauce with a knife and add a little water to the pot.

What is the use of adding water?

It's very useful.

Some people may think that adding water and then boiling the oil, so that the temperature is high, the oil will not collapse out?

Definitely!

The purpose of adding water is to prevent the mutton fat from scorching during the boiling process, because it is not mutton plate oil, but relatively fat mutton, which is easy to burn when boiled directly.

Then use a spatula to stir-fry all the time, the color of the mutton fat is about the same as the lard, but the lard is white after boiling it out for a long time, and the mutton fat is a little yellow.

After boiling for more than an hour, I took out the mutton fat residue one by one, and this kind of thing is still very fragrant and crunchy.

I stir it with a twig, and make sure to keep the mutton fat liquid before it cools, otherwise it will not fit into a plastic bottle.

The mutton fat is really hard to cool, and I have been stirring for more than half an hour and it is still a little hot.

No matter how much, I went straight to the plastic can, and the plastic can still withstand this temperature, but fortunately it was not deformed.

I wiped the sweat from my head, carefully carried the tin into the cave, and scooped out some of it and poured it into the kerosene lamp.

The moment the fire is lit, we seem to see new hope.

I remember that there was a movie called a good drama back then, and the protagonist was to let the second male man artificially generate electricity on the scrap ship when everyone was about to despair, and turned on the headlights of the scrap ship.

At that time, everyone was stunned to look at the headlight, not knowing what to say, and when the protagonist turned off the light again, under the shroud of darkness, people panicked and asked the protagonist to turn on the headlight.

In fact, people are like this, in a dark and helpless environment, once the slightest light shines, it will make people full of hope for life again.

We looked at the flames on the table, and our hearts were filled with excitement, and we no longer had to look for anything by the light of the stove at night.

After blowing out the candles, the next thing to do is to make something shiny.

That is the tool for drilling wood for fire.

Our lighters are only half frightened, and if they are gone, they will be scrapped, so it is better to take advantage of the advance to get out the tools for drilling wood and fire first.

This thing is still relatively easy to make, after all, I had previous experience, I made the homemade hemp rope before, and then found a wet trunk with good elasticity, carefully bent it into an arc, and began to roast it on the fire.

The principle is actually similar to that of forged cast iron, when bending, there will be excess tissue fluid extruded from the trunk, and after drying on the fire, the tissue fluid can be evaporated.

After roasting, it must not be moved, otherwise it is easy to break, but it is quickly put into the stream water to cool, as we all know the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, so that the trunk was originally roasted very dry, once it shrinks again, it will become very tight, and the shape will not change, and it has maintained an arc.

I learned this from my grandmother, and when I was a child, my grandmother made baskets like this, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

When I had done this, I tied the rope firmly to the ends of the trunk, like a bow, but it was not elastic, and then I made three turns in the middle of the rope and tied a stick that I had sharpened earlier, and it was all right.

In this way, I only need to simply pull the curved trunk, which saves time and effort, and can easily drill fire with a small hole in any dry plank.
