Chapter 18 Repairing a house is not an easy task

Thaika had never considered himself a good carpenter, and he even felt that he could not do anything but raise pigs now. What about infinite power? I've heard that there's something called a bow and arrow on the battlefield, and I shot you to death before you could rush in.

The carpenters and bronzemakers of the tribe were the slaves of the slave owners, and they worked only for them; If the Tygar wanted to ask them for help, they had to get the permission of the slave owner.

This is a troublesome matter, those capitalists don't like any of them except Duanduan Taijia, and even if they are not careful, they may become their slaves, so Taijia still plans to build the greenhouse by himself.

Fortunately, Taijia didn't plan to build a round greenhouse, otherwise he would have to travel hundreds of years to find a person named Zu Chongzhi to ask for pi. For rectangular pastures, he can calculate them in steps, and then estimate the total amount of wood needed; However, the circular pasture needs to be drawn with a rope, and this "advanced" method has not yet been introduced from the Central Plains.

Today, Taijia needs to repair a house, otherwise there is no way to cope with the cold at night; He learned from the carpenter's example and estimated that most of the medium-grown cedar trees would meet his requirements, and he could also make small things out of some leftovers. It can't be too long, or he'll be found before he can move out.

There are a lot of cedar trees at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, and no one will care if you cut down one secretly, and when the time comes, the fir tree will flow down the Minjiang River, as long as the position is right, it can just be stuck on the bank of this highland.

Taijia doesn't need an axe, I heard that there is a person surnamed Lu who can uproot the weeping willow, and he Taijia made it 1,400 years ago. A large cedar tree was uprooted by the Taijia and transported to the water's edge, and the Taijia, who was familiar with the water potential of the Minjiang River, found a place to go down the river, and when he returned, he was almost in his own territory.

Taijia also wanted to sit down the river in a cedar tree, but gave up because it was too dangerous.

"Who's that guy up front? Turn your head quickly! ”

Suddenly, he heard a shout behind him, and Taijia was stunned for a moment, this familiar plot seemed to be about to be staged again; He turned his head and saw that the humerus had rushed over with a cork stick, and his expression was quite wonderful when he saw Taijia.

"You...... You! You! Why are you again? The chief had never felt so broken in his heart, and when he saw Taijia's face blue and red, he almost exploded, "You stinky boy, don't you wish I was bad, and you would be comfortable if my family was reduced to slavery after I failed my duties?" ”

Taijia smiled, glanced at the chief humerus, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Hu, you know, I have never been here, and you haven't seen any suspicious characters, which is good for everyone......"

After that, the Thai armor fled from here with a crawl, afraid of staying for a moment longer; As soon as he ran a hundred meters away, he heard the heart-rending roar of the humerus:

"If I let Lao Tzu see you as a deflated calf who doesn't have a long memory, I have to abolish you!"

Taijia stuck out his tongue self-deprecatingly, thinking that he seemed to be a little too much for Uncle Qiu, do you want to divide him one or two after the inferior pig gives birth? One or two heads are too little, lest he say that I am stingy, so I will send five heads! With the animal husbandry method of immortals, there are only about a dozen pigs and a litter, and he has made a lot of money!

As soon as he came out of the mountain, Taijia saw the cedar tree stuck on the edge of the small plateau, and smiled with satisfaction, but he heard someone by the bridge calling for himself, and turned his head to see that it was an apricot man.

Xingfu walked over cautiously, looking at Taijia and seemed a little scared, Taijia was puzzled, and was about to speak, but he heard Xingfu say: "Taijia, I heard what your aunt said, why are you going to break up?" ”

"My aunt is talking nonsense, don't listen to it!" Taijia said as he carried the cedar tree ashore, "I just want to build a greenhouse and live outside for three or five days, she thinks I'm going to break up...... Grandma is too sensitive, I think it will be fine in a few days! ”

Xingfu had already learned about the livestock from Yiyue, and she didn't ask much about the greenhouse, she had more important things.

"But I don't think your grandmother is joking, and she told me, ......"

"Say what?" Taijia couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked at Xingfu suspiciously.

Xingfu was stared at like this, and his face instantly blushed, his dark and clean little face shook like a rattle, and he muttered: "Your aunt said that if I marry you, I will allow you to split up ......"

Taijia was stunned for an instant, Yiyue was really angry? Why does it look like you're giving yourself an assist?

After all, Taijia is a man, and he is not shy about this matter at all, but he stepped forward with some excitement and grabbed Xingfu's little hand and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

Xingfu wanted to swing away Taijia's hands, but found that he was extremely powerful, so he could only scold angrily, still blushing and said, "I don't know...... My father may not allow me to marry, but if you want, I can talk to my father! ”

The blushing apricot man was like a red sun shining into the heart of the Thai armor, and the cute and well-behaved face made the Thai armor feel the importance of responsibility for the first time. Perhaps it was at such a moment that Thai Jia really fell in love with this well-behaved and sensible ordinary girl.

He involuntarily touched Xingfu's head, his washed and clean hair was very comfortable to the touch, and he smiled and said, "Thank you Xingfu, but I don't want to cut off the relationship with my mother...... It's not that I don't want to accept you, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. Besides, your father probably won't agree to it. ”

Xingfu lowered his head gloomily, Taijia was right, his father Kuishan was extremely possessive, and because of his strong gambling psychology, his family's status was extremely low, maybe one day there was nothing at home for him to gamble, and he would be sold into slavery!

As if seeing Xingfu's gloomy eyes, Taijia hurriedly said, "Don't worry! Wait for me to become an adult...... Right! We'll talk about it when we're adults! ”

"Then, then you and Auntie Yiyue ......"

Taijia breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Grandma is just a whim, it will be fine in a few days, you don't have to worry...... I'm going to get to work, how about you? ”

Xingfu puffed out his mouth and said in a low voice: "My father doesn't know where to go, I'll watch you work......"

Tygar nodded, ignoring the apricot husband, he was going to cut the cedar tree into planks by noon, and then build the wooden house in the afternoon. The apricot husband squatted on the side and watched, as if watching the old man work and the old woman.

"Tygar, how do you make a tree into a plank? I don't think you have an axe with you. ”

"Isn't that easy?" As soon as Taijia's words fell, he slashed down with one palm, and a whole cedar tree broke off at the waist, just like a master who had practiced karate.

Xingfu had already seen his divine power, and he was not surprised, but said with a puzzled expression: "But you just turned the tree into a stake, and there are so many barbs on the edge, there is no way to build a house!" ”

Taijia thought to himself that this was the same reason, but he didn't know what to do, and Xingfu asked again: "And Taijia, will you build a house?" ”

"I've seen my father build it, it's not that difficult! Isn't it just a matter of embedding a plank in the soil? ”

"What about the roof?"

"Isn't it okay to put it on it?"

Xingfu is already powerless to complain, the Thai armor obviously doesn't know anything, where does the courage come from a man-made greenhouse?

"You stupid, how could you build a house like that? Simply hire a carpenter to help you get everything done, lest the greenhouse you build will fall down as soon as the wind blows! ”

Poor Jian didn't know when he suddenly jumped out of the water, and a water-stained body appeared behind Taijia, and he may be the only one who dares to swim in the water of the Minjiang River. He was full of scenery, probably because he had eaten salt and eaten happily these nights, and every word he said was a great satisfaction.

Taijia glanced at him angrily, and scolded: "I just ransacked my house a few days ago, and now I am taught a lesson again, why didn't you eat salt and kill you?" ”

"I'm just giving you advice! My father heard about you from Du Anjun yesterday, and said that building a greenhouse is also a workout for me, so let me come and help you. ”

Taijia snorted coldly and said, "I don't need your help, I'll do it myself!" ”

He thought that he would take Poor Jian away if he had a tough attitude, but he knew that Poor Jian still said to him with great enthusiasm: "My father told Du Anjun that Du Anjun allows you to use his family's craftsman slaves......"

Before Poor Jian finished speaking, Taijia hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, his right hand was gently placed on his shoulder, and asked, "Say, why are you so active in helping me?" ”

Speaking of this, Poor Jian seemed to have a big head, and muttered sadly and indignantly: "My mother wants to eat pork, she said that she often ate ...... when she was in the tribe."

His meaning is self-evident, Yang Jia wants to let Poor Jian help Xun Gang build a greenhouse, and then make some benefits in the name of it. It's no wonder that Poor Jian, who usually has nothing to do with himself, suddenly became extremely enthusiastic, and was forced by his mother!

However, it is better to tell the truth than to tell a lie, otherwise the Thai armor will always feel awkward and panicked.

Taijia carried half of the tree trunk in one hand, and passed through the tribe extremely windy, and the return rate was simply outrageous. The people all bowed their heads and laughed and said what was going to happen to their dear Son of God......

The three of them went straight to the room of Du Anjun's subordinate slaves. I have to say that the environment here is really dirty, full of cockroaches, more than a dozen slaves doing carpentry are all trapped in this room of less than ten square meters, plus the low-lying terrain, sweat and moisture make the room wet, and I don't know how to sleep.

Slaves had no right other than to live and work, and if the master's family needed it, they had no right to live. This kind of person still exists, but the name has been changed to programmer (funny).

"Ugly, ugly!"

Poor Jian kept shouting inside the door, and finally a huge slave came out. His hands and feet were not shackled like other slaves, but his nine-foot body was bent on his back, and there were more than a dozen scars on his already ugly face, which made people unbearable to look at, his eyes were numb, and he seemed to know no feelings.

No wonder people call it ugly.

Ah Chou glanced at Poor Jian, bowed his head and saluted but did not speak; Poor Jian was not surprised, and said, "Chop this cedar wood into planks." ”

"Is there the master's permission?" Ugly Mu Mu said.

"Naturally, there is."

Ah Chou nodded, although he looked at Taijia's eyes and moved, but he only let the craftsman slave behind him take the fir wood in Taijia's hand, and then Mu Mu said: "This will take some time, you can take it after noon!" ”

Poor Jian said again: "This is to build a house." He didn't know why he wanted to say that, because his father had insisted on saying it to him last night.

Ah Chou was like a machine, and he sighed softly, and muttered: "Then this wood is going to be made of mortise and tenon, you need to get it later...... How big is the house? ”

Taijia replied: "If you can live, you can do it!" ”

Ugly let out an "oh" and turned his head and walked in.

Nails only appeared in the eyes of the Chinese in modern times, and wooden houses before that did not use a nail. The carpenter carves the mortise and tenon on the top of the wood, which can make the wood seamlessly inlaid together without falling off, which is the crystallization of my Chinese wisdom.

The carpenters still have to work hard to get paid for their families on weekdays, even Du Anjun is no exception. However, the Thai League seems to have priority in everything, and Ah Chou asked everyone to put down their previous work and work on the Thai League first.

Taijia didn't understand what Ah Chou said, in short, he could stop temporarily by handing over the fir wood to him; Next, he had to plan a model of the greenhouse, and consider where the timber would come from......

Taijia really didn't dare to go to Maoshan again, in case his eldest uncle collapsed, he couldn't afford this responsibility at all!

However, the whole greenhouse is still in the outside of the big circle, pigs and sheep have to be divided into many small circles, the difference between the pig herd and the difference in gender must be distinguished. For example, pigs are big and small, strong and weak creatures, and will also reject different alien species and even the same species, etc., if they are not distinguished, it will affect the growth of piglets and the health of sows.

If the boars are kept together, if they are not mated during the estrus period, there may be a situation of matching with ***......

After the greenhouse and small shed are built, a granary for storing grain, a basement for storing manure, and a delivery room for childbirth should be built. People didn't know these things at that time, and Taijia also came exactly according to the method taught to him by the immortals, after all, he had never raised animals, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

Even the most luxurious sheds of slave owners consisted only of granaries and sheds; Although the size of the Taijia greenhouse is far inferior to that of the slave owners, the construction idea is unprecedented novelty.

The manure of pigs and sheep was good farm manure, and selling it to slave owners who had no livestock was a source of salt money. Next, the Taijia also had to worry about where the forage would come from, the feed for the pigs still needed leftovers, and if they wanted to raise fresh beans and rice, they had to spend a lot of money to buy sugarcane - because pigs like to eat sweets, which is conducive to their growth, and sugarcane is not something that everyone can afford to eat at this time.

Fortunately, there are no cattle, otherwise a day's meal of cattle alone would be worth a family's rations.

Thinking about the piece of meat that was about to fall from his body, Taijia couldn't help but feel sad, but the last time he heard a businessman from the Central Plains say that "there is a gift to gain" (from the "Book of Changes"), Taijia gritted his teeth, and he let it go!

"Gollum—"

But before you let it out, it seems that you have to fill your stomach first!
