Chapter 147: Daily Life (6)

After talking about eating and drinking, it is inevitable to talk about Lazar, although it is indecent, but it is also a necessary behavior of living beings, and its importance is even less than eating and drinking.

The protagonist used to dig a simple nest opposite his room to use as a toilet, and at that time everything had to be simple. Now, he has built a more "luxurious" bathroom in his dormitory.

The bathroom is located diagonally opposite the main door of the protagonist's room, and there are two large and one small.

The big one is for the protagonist's guards, attendants, etc., to prevent these protagonists' close ants from running to the nest of the public toilet with poor hygiene to excrete, and then rubbing back any germs or filth.

The small bathroom is exclusive to the protagonist.

There is a tree branch above the door of the small bathroom, and the branches are tied with neat drooping ant silk, which forms a curtain to separate the inside and outside sights, so as to avoid the convenience of the protagonist in front of everyone. After all, there are ants coming and going in the courtyard here, and there are ants passing by from time to time.

There is not much space inside, which will accommodate the protagonist to turn around. A small narrow pit is dug in the ground, similar to the squatting pit of the human world, which is the convenient location for the protagonist.

Whenever the protagonist is comfortable, there will be two full-time worker ants who are responsible for cleaning up the filth, of course, these two worker ants cannot serve the protagonist's diet and daily life, nor can they enter the protagonist's room, they are two "dung slaves". Fortunately, these worker ants are not aware of the contempt of the protagonist, and they still regard it as a glorious thing to be able to serve the king of God, and do their best.

On the edge of the squatting pit, a stack of sun-dried, semi-dry, soft, cut leaves of the right size sits on a small rock, which is a substitute for toilet paper. In fact, ant excrement is very dry and generally does not leave any filth in the anus, but the protagonist is still used to wiping it.

There is also a water reservoir and a clay pot, the protagonist can pour a drop of water out and clean it, and then naturally there will be dung slave worker ants who are responsible for picking up the waste water with large jaws and throwing it outside, and then filling up the water reservoir.

- I'm the dividing line -

The gaze continues back to the protagonist's room.

Leave the dining room and enter the innermost room, which is the protagonist's bedroom.

There is only one bed in the bedroom, and unlike the previous one, where the protagonist simply slept on a ball of compacted silk wool, this bed has obvious traces of processing.

Some of the branches, which are thick logs for ants, have been stripped of their bark and tied into a square frame with ant silk and ant glue, and the upper and lower sides of the frame are covered with whole insect skin, which is filled with various silk wool fibers, similar to the structure of a leather stool.

The protagonist rests on this soft bed.

In general, the protagonist's living conditions are much better than those of ordinary ants, and even the traditional ant aristocracy - the king, the king, and the queen ant cannot enjoy the protagonist.

However, the protagonist is still not satisfied, and he waits for the team sent to the Big-headed Ant Remnants to return, which is responsible for receiving information packages about fermentation and weaving techniques from the Big-headed Ant Remnants, and returning them for the research team to study.

With the new technology, the protagonist believes that his life can be taken to the next level.

Fermentation technology, for example, can be used to create new foods and beverages based on existing technologies.

There are many types of fermented foods for human consumption, and fermented foods can usually be divided into five categories: alcoholic beverages, such as distilled spirits, rice wine, fruit wine, beer, etc.; dairy products, such as yogurt, sour cream, mare's milk wine, cottage cheese, etc.; Soy products, such as tofu, tempeh, natto, etc.; fermented vegetables, such as kimchi, sauerkraut, etc.; Condiments such as vinegar, yellow sauce, soy sauce and monosodium glutamate.

The thought of these food names makes the protagonist feel an increase in saliva production.

Weaving is also a very useful technology. The Legion of the Divine Envoy King does not know how to weave yet, and can only use ant silk for binding, or make soft silk beds for young ants and ant nobles to rest.

When the protagonist was fighting in "Waterfront City", he made a simple ant silk felt by himself because he needed to go out in winter.

Felt making is a simpler and more primitive technology than weaving, that is, flakes made of wool, silk and other fibers. Felt did not go through the process of spinning and weaving, and it is called non-woven in textiles, and it appeared much earlier than any woolen fabric. In ancient China, the felt was washed with wool or bird and animal hair, boiled with boiling water, kneaded to make it bonded, and then spread on the hard tail couplet, straw curtain, or wooden board, and the rod was pressed.

The protagonist makes the simple silk felt in a similar way, and the silk felt has also become the protagonist's cold and windproof artifact in the cold winter. It's a pity that the protagonist knows the principle of felt-making, but he doesn't understand the specific technology, and the silk felt he made fell apart and cracked due to poor craftsmanship when it reached the beginning of spring, and it couldn't be used anymore.

The protagonist has been urging the scientific research team of the little secretary to study and improve the felt-making technology, and strive to use the fabric as soon as possible. The textile technology of the remnants of the big-headed ant seems to be more advanced.

Once textiles can be obtained through weaving or felting, the protagonist can use these textiles to make many things, including bed sheets, clothing, wrapping cloths, etc., which is still useful.

- I'm the dividing line -

The protagonist seems to be born with a busy life, and it is difficult to be completely idle.

As soon as I finished talking about life and food, there was a troublesome thing that could be associated with eating.

Returning to the topic of salt, salt as an important condiment and a biologically necessary substance does not need to be repeated.

Almost all of the salt in the kingdom comes from the salt marshes near the "Salt Castle", although there was a shortage of salt due to the reconquest war, floods, and insect infestation some time ago.

But the protagonist just made up his mind to exchange benefits for the actual control of "Yancheng" from the king meeting of "Qingqiu City".

The protagonist then sends Tumor to lead a small team of ants into the "Salt City".

Tumor, beard, and gardenia are all new generation of male ants, and they are also the younger generation of the Divine Envoy King's legion that has performed well, and has been guided by the protagonist.

Their mission is not to take control of the "Salt City", but to provide more salt to the protagonist's territory.

After the salt is satisfied, the protagonist temporarily loses interest in this place because the coarse salt contains too many impurities. Because most of the other ant races also have their own salt resources, the idea that the protagonist originally envisioned to use salt to balance other forces has come to naught.

As for the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, "Yancheng" is the only salt mine, but the protagonist has not planned to tear his face with the annoying kings of "Qingqiu City" in the short term, so the power of the God Envoy King here in "Yancheng" is just an idle move, and it is useless for the time being.

But just now, a messenger from "Yancheng" said that something terrible had happened there and that the support of the main army was urgently needed.
