Chapter 11 Construction
After the meal, Yang Heng walked around this forest, and then he realized that the difficulty of this place was not that the soil was shallow and the roots were long, but that it was too difficult to get water, and there was also that the efficiency of agricultural tools in this era was too low, or the agricultural skills in remote mountainous areas were too poor, so no one came to ask for a piece of treasure land in Yang Heng's eyes.
This land, the north end is higher from the water surface, about two meters high, the south is not very short, more than one meter, Yang Heng and the place where they are seems to have been reclaimed here many times, this place is indeed not much thick, but it is convenient to water, just fetch water from the river and pick it up soon to be watered, but once watered, it will naturally be able to lure the roots of some trees and weeds to grow in this direction, which is what Dad said The crops can't grow weeds and trees.
"Grandpa, mother, I think we should build the house at the foot of the northernmost mountain." After turning around, Yang Heng chose the location to build the house, that is, to the north of the entire lot, this place is on higher ground, and after the field is reclaimed, you can directly observe the overall situation, and again, if you open a road from the north, you can lead to the village in the distance, and that place is only more than 300 meters away from the village.
"It seems that my son has really learned a lot of things, so it would be nice if I could officially go to a private school." The old lady looked at Yang Heng and said with a sigh, and even the father's eyes were full of joy. Maybe they thought that these were all some things that Yang Heng stole to learn, and they didn't want to think about how many things they could learn by stealing this stolen learning, and it would be good to be able to know a few words.
"What are you?" Yang Heng looked at his father and mother looking at himself like a nymphomaniac, how did he feel a little hairy on his body, "Son, you go on, let's listen." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk about it, let's get to work now, start here, make a two-meter-wide road, otherwise how can we pull the cart to the north?" I won't talk about me yet, so let's get to work.
More than 700 meters away, said that it is not far, said that it is not close, the big trees that need to be moved to more than two knives on this road are only three or five hundred, and other small trees and weeds are not obstacles, in this way, the father and mother cut down the trees in front, and Yang Heng sorted out some of the trees cut down in the back, some of the trees are in the right shape, he will repair them neatly and put them aside, and those messy branches and weeds are piled up and kept for fire.
This strong body is the benefit of being strong, a family of three in less than an hour, a two-meter-wide, more than 700-meter-long road was opened, Yang Heng also collected more than 100 trees with a thick bowl mouth, and there are dozens of thicker trees inside, but the most is a thick tree, Yang Heng thought about it, build a house, and use this bowl thick tree, so that not only can the wasteland be cleared, but the trees that come out are used to build wooden houses, and it will save you from finding someone to make soil and smash the wall.
"Heng'er, this road is finished, what are you going to do next?" Yang Heng looked at his father and mother, a little speechless, this is a cut of hundreds of trees, not half an acre of wheat, now he is out of breath, he doesn't sweat and doesn't feel anything, he is tired and half dead.
However, this is also easy to understand, the father and mother just cut down the trees in front, and they don't need to move or carry them, while Yang Heng still has to repair the branches and stack up things, so he is naturally a little tired.
"Next, let's open a place to build a house." Yang Heng chose a ground ten meters from the shore, ten meters from the north boundary to open up a piece of ground twenty meters wide from east to west, thirty meters wide from north to south, temporarily such a big courtyard, no matter how big it is, it will be exceeded, the work is as usual, the father and mother are responsible for leveling the ground, cleaning up the trees and weeds, Yang Heng is dealing with some tree branches or something, and by the way chose a few wooden sticks as the handle of the head and pickaxe, this is a tree called ash, this kind of tree is generally used to make the gun of the red tassel gun, Or the long sticks, there are quite a few of these trees in this forest, but, unfortunately, there are not many of them, and there are few straight ones.
In less than an hour, the father and mother once again opened a large piece of flat land, this time nearly a thousand square meters, this is also to cut down the trees that Yang Heng needs, the first thing he has to do is to surround the courtyard first, in a thirty by fifty box, all the big trees, Yang Heng did not let the father and mother cut down, but climbed up and cut down the tree, and then repaired the branches around the body, and cut the top into a pointed shape.
Next, it is the pickaxe head to play, the father and mother dug a ditch more than half a meter deep on this box, Yang Heng is to cut some trees with the thickness of the bowl into a pointed end, the other end is half pointed, and then bury the half-pointed end into the ditch, the direct interval between the two trees is to be able to put the palm sideways into it, such a simple wooden fence wall more than three meters high is created, and then use rattan and wooden sticks to tie it firmly in the middle of the fence, and the safety is assured.
"Well, it's finally good, it's good, it's good, ah, it's getting dark, and we haven't made lunch yet." The old lady clapped her hands and suddenly exclaimed.
"Mother, you cook, aren't there still two hares, I'll build the shed where I sleep at night with my grandpa first." The shed is very good to build, as long as the surrounding is supported with trees, the thatch is put on top, and the side is surrounded by branches, although the wind is ventilated all around, you can dig a pit not far from the shed, and light a pit of fire, but someone needs to pay attention to the fire at night, one does not let it go out, two do not let it burn the shed, this is a small thing.
Eating dinner, Yang Heng was thinking about his own affairs in his heart, and felt very sad, others crossed and made a fortune, and they burned cement to build tile houses and make glass, but what about themselves, after arriving, they first fled, and then they opened up the wasteland to build wooden houses, but fortunately, now they are also a small landlord, and a hundred acres of land is not empty-handed, and even has the strength of a body, which is also considered the welfare of crossing.
Since making tools, Yang Heng has been a little puzzled, the old lady's iron-striking skills, and even the old lady's bath herb formula are good, but why have they not developed much, and even from the old lady's words, it can be heard that life in this family is getting worse and worse!
