Chapter 32 Building and Pottery
Liu Mulei returned to the courtyard kitchen, found a sledgehammer, picked up a few wrist-thick pieces of wood, and walked outside.
"Leaning against the wall? The location is still on it! Liu Mulei checked and chose the kitchen side, near the edge of the courtyard wall on this side of the mountain.
The overall layout of the yard, the kitchen is close to the mountain, and the kitchen is next to the firewood stack, diagonally opposite the kitchen.
It is the place where the thatched house is located, and in the middle is three houses lined up side by side, but unfortunately two houses collapsed and were sorted out as vegetable fields.
The front of the main house is about the same, with hundreds of square meters of open space, and there are courtyard walls on all sides.
In this way, the space next to the kitchen looks much larger than that near the thatched house, and it is easier to walk.
Liu Mulei chose to lean on the kitchen side, planning to open a door on the courtyard wall here in the future, and the wind direction these days.
It is blown from the field to the side of the mountain, or to the side of the main house, so it is also chosen to rely on the side of the mountain.
At first, there is not much problem with chickens and ducks, but if there are more animals in the future, I don't want the yard to be surrounded by smells.
After planning on the spot, Liu Mulei began to draw the line, estimated the distance, and put the timber underground.
Then use those cut down thin branches, along these stakes one by one, to weave a "tree wall".
After finishing it, he dragged a large net woven by vines and began to load dirt on the edge of the canal, when he had opened the canal.
The dirt that had been piled up on both sides was now useful, especially from digging ponds and fish ponds, and finally had a good place.
Stacked on the edge of the pond, not only does it occupy a large area, but you also have to worry about the soil flowing into the pond on rainy days.
After the soil got wet, Liu Mulei held the soil and kept pasting it towards the "tree wall", making the "tree wall" become a mud wall.
When the temperature drops like this, you don't have to worry about the chickens and ducks freezing up, but unfortunately there are not enough people!
Otherwise, like the courtyard wall and the house, it is far more solid to constantly use great force to tamp the soil than to trick the wall like this.
Soon.
The chicken and duck shed, which is more than one meter high, more than ten meters wide, and five meters long, has been completed, and it should be said that most of it is completed, after all, the roof has not been made.
Fortunately, the chicken and duck shed does not need to be too strong, and the main beam is made of wood with two wrists thick, which is almost fine.
Liu Mulei went to the mountains and forests, and got this side, and the roof was finished after more than an hour.
The chicken and duck shed was completely completed, and after bending in, the internal space was very wide, and the highest place was about two meters.
So after bending down to go in, you don't need to bend over, you can stand upright to work, after Liu Mulei checked it.
A large pile of thatch was brought in, divided into two and piled into nests, and at the same time isolated on three sides with wood and vines.
also made a simple door, but according to Liu Mulei's estimate, this door should be useless.
After all, pheasants and pheasants are used to being wild, but they can fly, but they still have to make appearances.
At the same time, on the opposite side of the chicken and duck nest, make a large cage out, this one is used to raise rabbits, this cage is much stronger.
Liu Mulei stood outside the chicken and duck shed, looked at it, and patted his head, "How to do this gate!?" ”
Although all the farm tools in the kitchen are magic weapons, there are no carpenter's tools!
After thinking about it, Liu Mulei took out a large piece of soil and put it on the threshold of the chicken and duck shed, making the threshold more than 30 centimeters high.
Then he inserted three pieces of wood above the doorway, and weaved a strong vine, and a large curtain in the shape of a net came out.
After looking at the sky, when the sun was hot at this time, Liu Mulei didn't rest much and picked up the big net of vines.
Walking towards the fish pond, I dragged two large piles of dirt over, and after wetting the soil, I began to make all kinds of pottery.
I thought it was very simple, but seeing the strange pottery products, Liu Mulei was a little shameless.
I obviously want to make it round, but when I make it, it will become potholes, not only does it not look like it is not round.
On the contrary, it looks like it has been gnawed by teeth, but fortunately, the plasticity of the soil is still quite strong, and it is enough to pinch it again.
Liu Mulei's talent is also good, after breaking a few finished products, the things pinched out also become decent.
Although some pottery products have different edges and thicknesses, and the aesthetics are not very good-looking, at least the preliminary stage has been completed.
Without staying long, Liu Mulei moved the pottery products that were dried in the sun to the inside of the chicken and duck shed.
Go back and grab a pile of firewood, light it, and place it inside the pottery and in the aisle in the middle of the chicken and duck shed.
There is also a circle of pottery around the thatch, so that the flame does not become too big and ignite the thatch.
Liu Mulei wiped his sweat and dragged the dirt into the sun, not daring to get too close to the chicken and duck shed.
It's too hot, and it's hotter next to it than standing in the sun, so it's better to let the sun shine.
After counting, some pottery products were enough to use, and the rest were a few large pieces, such as water tanks and the like.
And looking at so many cabbages, I am also ready to make a few jars of pickles, these pottery products are too big to be fired in the open air.
"Why did it fall?" Liu Mulei stood on the stool, and as soon as he got the cylinder mouth right, the vat collapsed instantly.
After thinking about it, I feel that the cylinder is too big, and it takes too much technology to cause collapse, so let's get a one-meter cylinder!
After lowering the requirements, the process was much faster, and before the sun set, six large tanks were made.
Feel free to let them be in the wild, and see that the sky will be sunny these days, and you don't have to worry about being scattered by the rain.
After returning to the chicken and duck shed, he used tongs to clip the coals out of the pottery and put them in large vats outside.
After the cleaning was completed, Liu Mulei stroked the wall of the chicken and duck shed, felt the cold touch, and under the knocking, there was a crisp sound, and his heart was slightly happy.
Finally, nothing went wrong, and the vines were used to carry these pottery products to the kitchen.
Seeing a large pile of chickens, ducks and rabbits underground, only the head was left, and the listless sampler smiled slightly.
Go back to the chicken and duck shed, open the window, hang up the curtain, and go back to the door and tie the big curtain to the door.
The curtain is hammered to the ground, and when the time comes, use a few stones to press under the curtain, so that they can't escape!?
"How do rabbits divide male and female?" Liu Mulei grabbed the rabbit, and when he looked at it, they were all exactly the same "shape"!
"Don't rabbit males have eggs? Or are all caught females? "I didn't understand, and I didn't dwell on it anymore.
Carrying two rabbits, as well as pheasants and ducks, it was like a chicken and duck shed, and two of each sex were put in.
