Chapter 30 Build a kiln and burn bricks to build a house
In order to make the bricks burn out of the same size, Jun Qianqian asked Luo Ze to make a few wooden molds, and without a ruler, the two could only compare with each other, and in the end they only got five molds.
The soil of the Purple Flower Tribe is loess, but it is not as cohesive as the soil in the hilly areas of the previous life, and the clay caught in the river is gray-white, but the plasticity is very good.
Jun Qianqian chose a sunny day, all the people who fell except for the sentry, all gathered together to toss the mud, that day the dried fish were placed on the edge of the tribe, and the open space in the middle was full of bricks.
"Hopefully it won't rain today......"
To be on the safe side, the tribe contributed the smallest cave, and the people who lived here moved to live in the big cave, so that if it rained at night, the bricks would not be burned.
After the front and side of the brick are turned over and dried thoroughly, Jun Qianqian is ready to make a brick kiln.
Abbreviation: Is there wood in the kiln?
The structure of the brick kiln is square, which can be built directly with bricks, with four holes for making a fire at the bottom and a clay seal at the top.
What do you think and how do you feel...... It's a big project to let all the people live in brick houses.
The first time to burn bricks has no experience, Jun Qianqian is concentrated on waiting aside, two brick kilns are ignited at the same time, the temperature of burning bricks does not have to be very high, the open flame is OK, in order to ensure the vigor of the flame to keep adding firewood, but also to ensure the ventilation in the cave.
"Shall we bring the fish and smoke it? Anyway, the fire is empty and empty......"
Jun Qianqian's body was red, and her eyes were choked with smoke to tears.
"Smoked?"
Kai'Sa is forbidden to be near the smoke because she is pregnant, and her task at this time is to keep Jun Qianqian, who counts the time, from being bored to the point of falling asleep.
"It is to use formaldehyde in the smoke to kill the microorganisms in fresh fish, which is the same way to preserve meat as drying it."
Although bacon has the risk of causing cancer, but putting aside the measurement to talk about toxicity is to play hooligan, the salt in the tribe is very valuable, salted fish is completely a luxury, Jun Qianqian thinks that this bit of bacon will not cause any problems.
Eating too many tomatoes is still poisonous, who has nothing to eat four tons of tomatoes in one go? Besides, eating four tons of anything can kill people!
"Bring the fish that hasn't been dried!"
Hearing the new way of preservation, Kai'Sa shouted happily to the others guarding the entrance of the cave, everyone was waiting boredly, and suddenly there was something to do, and the people were in a lot of energy.
"Actually, you don't have to wait here with me......"
Jun Qianqian looked at the people who were piled up speechlessly, sometimes everyone was so simple and cute.
"There's no way they're going to leave you waiting here alone."
Luo Ze has been guarding Jun Qianqian's nearest place, and he is fully responsible for adding firewood, if it weren't for her timing and controlling the fire, everyone in the tribe would definitely let her go back to rest first.
When the fresh fish were hung on the smoke in bunches, it was almost over, and Jun Qianqian's timer was over.
The bricks only need to be burned for two to three hours, and after the flame is extinguished, they can be cooled overnight, and tomorrow you will know whether it is successful or not.
"I hope it will happen......"
All the people of the Purple Flower Tribe were probably sleeping a little unsteadily that night, and they all got up early the next morning, waiting to see the bricks come out of the kiln.
"What kind of weird color is this......"
The bricks on the top of the brick kiln were smoked black, and the inside turned to retain a uniform color, but most of the bricks Jun Qianqian had seen were red bricks and cement bricks, and the bricks they made turned out to be blue-purple......
What the hell is purple? What metallic element is this color developing?
Jun Qianqian picked up a regular purple brick and put it into the puddle next to the clearing, and the water was very clear after a night of precipitation, which was convenient for her to observe the waterproofing of the bricks.
A few minutes passed, more than ten minutes passed, and the others also waited silently with Jun Qianqian.
Finally, Jun Qianqian fished the purple brick out of the water, and then threw it the stone!
"Bang-"
The section is flat and there is no sign of dissolving into the water at the edges.
"It worked!"
Jun Qianqian clapped her hands excitedly and turned to look at Luo Ze next to her.
"Oh——!!"
The tribesmen cheered as well, and Luo Ze looked at her with a smile.
"We can build a house! That's great! ”
Jun Qianqian happily circled around Luo Ze, one step closer to the goal of having a car and a house!
Everyone took out the energy of catching fish before and burned bricks frantically, not to mention that they could smoke fish while making a fire, and they didn't delay doing anything together in the two jobs.
The trap by the lake caught a few more prey, but they were all meerkats, pheasants, and other small things, and the boar caught another one, but the relationship between the new one and the family with the cubs was so stiff that Kai'Sa had to give the new boar a private room.
"If you make any more trouble, I'll eat you!"
Kaisha had no choice but to quit the manual work of moving bricks, but she was not idle and lazy, managing the storage of grain and feeding the pigs every day, and she was also busy.
Jun Qianqian wanted to rush over and beg her to rest for a while when she saw Kaisha......
There is strength in numbers, and after a few days, enough bricks to build a house will be enough.
"I want a small room, my eldest brother wants a big room, Luo Ze and Xiao Ze live in the living room together, then it is enough to build a two-bedroom living room."
When living in a cave, the three brothers can live together, but Jun Qianqian has her own considerations.
She noticed that Daze was always going around Kaisha, and it was still necessary for him to leave a large room alone~
Speaking of which, Jun Qianqian hasn't been very familiar with Daze's eldest brother, obviously living in a cave every night, but Daze intends to create opportunities for the second brother to be alone with her, everyone is very busy on weekdays, and she hasn't spoken to this titular eldest brother a few times for so long.
Since the pigsty was built, it has been handed over to Kai'Sa to take care of, and everyone is very keen to run to feed the pigs when they are idle, and the most diligent of them is Daze......
After the Purple Flower Tribe's production methods diversified from a single hunting, Daze, who finally had a place to use, gradually regained his self-confidence.
Looking at Brother Daze, who was talking to Kaisha, Jun Qianqian couldn't help but show a gossipy smile.
Marriage is free, adults choose their preferred partners, and the children they give birth to are taken care of by both husband and wife, and single mothers like Kai'Sa don't usually remarry when their children are young.
Raising a child in a harsh natural environment is very difficult, and unless she gives up the child or he dies at a young age, Kai'Sa will not consider remarrying.
"If Daze is willing to raise Kaisha's child, won't she be able to marry her?"
Jun Qianqian thinks very optimistically, as long as Daze fills Kaisha's favorability first, won't everything be fine?
