Volume 2 Planting Chapter 132 Preparation for the Celebration (Proofreading)
Wu took the shoes handed over by Wang Tian, touched the soft fur inside the shoes, and showed a sudden expression of realization on his face.
It turns out that the thing that the Son of Heaven has been turning all morning is called shoes, and the soft fur can be tightly put on the feet, and it will be very warm to wear in winter.
Of course, Wu would not refuse this request, and the two came to the stone foundation of the pavilion pillar, Wu sat on it, and Wang Tian began to measure the size.
While measuring the size, Wang Tian told Wu that he was going to kill a batch of rabbits and goats, and Wu couldn't understand this request.
Now there is no shortage of food in the tribe, there is no reason to kill them at all, Wu asked the Son of Heaven why, he felt that there was no need to do this at all, these walking food, it looked happy, in fact, he was a little reluctant.
"Now it's almost winter, rabbits and goats eat grass, there is no grass to feed them in winter, there is no suitable feed, and now the fat and fat animals have to lose a lot of fat in a winter, and it is not cost-effective to raise." Wang Tian calculated the account for the house.
Then he continued: "The rabbit gives birth to babies very quickly, kill a batch now, after the spring next year, there will be more soon, and the goats, we only kill most of the rams, the ewes will still remain, these rams will not grow again, and they can't give up cubs, and there is no goat milk to milk, raising will only waste forage!" ”
Wu immediately agreed with the Son of Heaven after hearing what he said, after all, the reason why he liked these living foods was because they were food.
If you continue to raise it, not only will you not get meat, but you will also lose some meat because of the feed, and you will be as shrewd as a witch, so you will naturally quickly calculate this account.
Then Wang Tian and Wu set a time for them to be slaughtered: when the tribe moved to a new home, as a celebration and reward for their hard work, new clothes were distributed on that day, and if the shoes could be made, they were also distributed together.
After the walls and houses were built, there was no formal celebration, and according to the custom of later generations, the joy of housewarming naturally had to be feasted, and Wang Tian decided to keep this tradition.
After measuring the size of Wu, Wang Tian took the two finished shoe templates, took charcoal and recorded paper, and went to the cultivation area.
Now the adult men in the Tianlong tribe, except for the big hands who repair and make stone tools in Hall 4 of the pavilion, there are only two carpenters, King Kong Second Brother and Liu Bei.
At this time, the two of them were making the gate of the ancestral hall in front of the ancestral hall, and the thin head and Huzi were harvesting the forage outside, and the others were clearing the wasteland in the cultivation area.
Wang Tian first came to the brick factory to look for sunspots, but he didn't see anyone, and saw all kinds of waist drum mud on the ground, as well as three drum bodies the size of water tanks.
Wang Tian knew that the sunspot had done this, and it was estimated that it was not next to the pottery kiln at this time, but it was burning charcoal kiln, and as the weather became colder and colder, the charcoal kiln did not stop every day.
It is continuously burned every day to store charcoal for the winter, and after entering the winter, the Tianlong tribe will heat and supply hot water 24 hours a day, which requires a large amount of charcoal.
Although it is possible to burn wood directly, the heat provided by wood is not as durable as charcoal, and it is not as efficient as charcoal, and if you burn wood directly, you need to be watched 24 hours a day.
In the case of charcoal, there is no need for it, adding enough fuel at a time, and then controlling the ventilation of the fire pit can last for five or six hours, and no one needs to take care of it.
Wang Tian put down the two pottery plates in his hand, and then found the sunspot next to the charcoal kiln, and he was putting mud on a charcoal kiln.
Burning charcoal is not like burning pottery kilns, people need to watch the fire before leaving the kiln, as long as the charcoal kiln is lit, you can no longer need people to manage, so the sunspots are generally 10 or so burned together one after another, and after the kiln is burned, the charcoal is pulled out and then the kiln continues to burn.
Piles of burnt charcoal were already piled up in the brick factory, and the leaders would bring some of it back to the tribe after they cleared the wasteland.
"Kuroko, how is the charcoal burning now, can you store enough before the snow?" Wang Tian asked Kuroko.
"No problem, as long as this batch of kilns comes out, it should be enough, and now there are more than 70 quintals, and this batch should have 80 quintals" Kuroko replied.
A load of charcoal is 50 catties, and 80 quintals is 4,000 catties, which should be enough for the tribe to survive the winter, if it is not for the need for central heating, there is no need for such a large amount.
"That's good, you can burn more if you have time, and if the weather is very cold, you can let everyone burn more charcoal to keep warm, so that the winter will be better." Wang Tian was very satisfied with the number reported by the sunspot.
Because there is no cement, although the new house has a fire kang, the kang head is paved with large stone slabs and stone strips, and then leveled with lime mortar, which is not suitable for direct open fire heating.
Of course, it is still possible to put in a charcoal basin, and the roof of the new house is laid with tiles, which has good ventilation and breathability, and there is no need to worry about charcoal poisoning.
Wang Tian decided that before entering the new house, he should first heat the kang and dry the moisture on the kang head, otherwise, people will fall asleep and not dry the kang head easily.
He explained this matter to Kuroko, and as for the charcoal basin used to hold charcoal, Kuroko had already burned it.
"Son of Heaven, do you have anything else to do with me besides this matter?" Kuroko knew that the Son of Heaven would not come to him if he was fine, so he asked.
"Well, there's a thing, I'm going to make a batch of templates for making shoes, you can get me a few pieces of mud with a thickness of one centimeter tomorrow, don't make it thick, I'll be useful when the time comes, and you can make it flat on both sides."
"Well, I see! Son of God, what are shoes? Kuroko also heard this word for the first time, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Oh, speaking of which, I'll measure your feet, shoes are worn on your feet... Clothes to wear on your feet! ”
Wang Tian never thought to explain to others what shoes were, and he couldn't find the right words to express them for a while.
"The clay board that I asked you to get today is a template for making shoe sizes, you can do it later in the afternoon today, I estimate that it will not be used until that time, it will be dried too early, and it is not easy to cut the shape." Wang Tian suddenly remembered this stubble, so he explained it to Heizi.
"Okay!" It seems that the Son of Heaven is going to get something good again, and the sunspot is looking forward to it, and the products produced by the Son of Heaven must be high-quality, which is already the consensus of the tribe.
The beautiful and soft animal skin clothes, although they had not yet been given to them, but everyone looked at Wu's linen clothes, and they couldn't help but want to put them on and try them out.
Those clothes are now kept by the witch, and the Son of Heaven did not say it, and they did not dare to ask the witch.
It's not that the Son of Heaven is reluctant to give them all, but that they haven't done it all yet, and if they can't do it for one person, it's always bad to give it to whoever they give it first and who they don't give it to first.
Influenced by the idea that later generations are equal, Wang Tian tried his best to be fair and just when he acted, so he decided to join everyone when he entered the new house.
First, let everyone be happy with a few good things, and secondly, not to disappoint those who have not been allocated clothes, Wu can't understand Wang Tian's idea, but he didn't object.
So Wu simply didn't even put down the clothes of several leaders, but according to Wang Tian's request, Huo Yi and Huo Er's clothes were given to them, but the two old men were reluctant to wear them, and returned them to Wu for safekeeping.
After measuring the size, the sunspot instructed by Wang Tian will start burning the kang tomorrow, and there is no need to use charcoal, just use firewood, and the kang head made of lime slurry may not be good to burn with an open flame for a long time, but the hot kang should be fine.
Although the temperature of the charcoal is higher, Wang Tian always feels that it is reassuring to burn the open fire, and in addition, he always feels that it is not called kang if it is not burned by the smoke and fire, although Wang Tian is a southerner.
After a southerner crossed over, he actually learned to pankang, which is somewhat unreal.
Whether it is new shoes or new clothes, the doors and windows that the second brother is working on and the next burning kang, slaughtering sheep, and killing rabbits are all preparing for the upcoming new housewarming.
As one of the main happy events of the Chinese, Wang Tian decided to make it lively, as the last major event of the first year of Tianlong, which is worth a big deal.
In addition, the new home has a new atmosphere, and it seems that the thatch used to lay on the kang should also be replaced, in fact, Wang Tianshi felt that before he arrived, these guys were not very hygienic, although the cave had also been "renovated".
Burn the used thatch, so that the new home is full of new things, new beds, new mattresses, new clothes, new shoes. Then use new pottery, which is the posture of living in a new home......
