Chapter 731: A bowl of mung bean soup on a hot day

When Zhang Xiaoxue went to a few more towns and bought a large number of tools and even some daily necessities, it didn't take long.

When he returned, he saw the fat man commanding some people in official clothes, measuring the land.

Zhang's father, Yuan Guang, and Yuan Lei went to the border city to recruit workers, but they haven't rushed back yet.

Zhang Xiaoxue first took out some of the farm tools she bought and handed them to the slaves who were busy pulling weeds over there.

Thinking that these slaves were building a manor here, it would definitely be impossible to bring them home again, so they had to settle here first.

In this case, you can't let them sleep in the open air for a few days, right? Even if it's not cold, it's not a problem.

Although it is necessary to reclaim the wasteland and plant potatoes first, you must not delay the planting of potatoes, you have to work overtime, and you cannot build a house first, but you must first build a wooden shed that can shelter from the wind and rain.

Zhang Xiaoxue stood in place and looked around, the place where their family chose to build a manor did not have a few trees.

Not to mention the timber used to build a house, even if you build a few large simple wooden sheds and some animal shelters, I am afraid that it will not be enough to cut down these trees.

If you look for trees in the distance and cut them down for building houses, not to mention that, you have to allocate some manpower to do this, and the transportation along the way will be very troublesome.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoxue remembered that when she went to the Seven Lotus Mountains not long ago, the big trees that were cut down by the forest giant wolf with a wind blade along the way were all received by her in the smart bracelet.

Now it's finally time for them to play a role, and it is not in vain that in the eyes of those immortal cultivators, they have become a miser who is a petty family and is reluctant to throw anything.

Zhang Xiaoxue praised herself in her heart, it is shameful to waste, a person like her who has the virtue of thrift is an example for people to learn, and she must maintain this character in the future.

However, stacking these woods should not be thrown around, but how to easily access and how to place them.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoxue walked to the place where the house was going to be built and took out all the trees from the smart bracelet.

Zhang Xiaoxue looked at the piles of trees in front of her, but she was not sure, after sorting them out, would it be enough to build a house when the time came?

Because when I thought of the time when the giant wolf of the forest launched the wind blade to cut down the trees, it was really effortless, and the big trees fell neatly one by one.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoxue decided to go over there to find a few knowledgeable slaves and ask, if this pile of trees is not enough, then she will simply ride the forest wolf and go to the distant mountains with many trees to get some wood.

It's better to let these slaves go to the trouble of getting timber from a distance.

As soon as she thought of it, Zhang Xiaoxue walked up to the busy slaves and asked in a slightly loud voice: "Which of you is more proficient in building a house, I have something to ask." ”

The slaves who had this skill stopped what they were doing, thinking that it would be a good thing if they could be valued by their masters because of this skill.

So several slaves who had worked as masons before, none of them raised their hands and responded loudly to Zhang Xiaoxue that they had worked as masons before.

Zhang Xiaoxue saw that there were quite a few people who raised their hands in response, and she didn't just point to anyone, so she pointed to the big trees piled together, "Do you think the trees over there are enough to build the houses in the manor?"

These slaves who replied looked at it one after another, and combined with what Zhang Xiaoxue wanted to say, if a big manor was to be built here, there would be no shortage of houses to be built.

The pile of trees doesn't seem to be small, but most of them are very old, and most of them are not suitable for building houses, except for the thinner treetops.

But according to the owner's meaning, if you want to use those trees to build a house, then you have to decompose before you can use it, which is more troublesome than cutting down the trees again.

Many people had concerns and hesitated to tell this matter, so Zhang Xiaoxue saw that no one answered for a while, and thought that they were calculating whether the tree was enough.

"Those big trees seem to be a lot of them, but most of them are very old trees, and they are suitable for making furniture and other things.

The first half of the treetops can only be used to build a house, and the back part is so thick that if you want to use it to build a house, you have to decompose it before you can use it, which will be much more troublesome than cutting down the tree again. ”

One of the slaves spoke his point first, and the other slaves then chimed in.

This time Zhang Xiaoxue is clear, that is, it is not enough.

Well, I asked them about the thickness of the trees to build the house, and after seeing the thickness of their comparison, Zhang Xiaoxue decided to go on this trip.

"Okay, you're busy, I see. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue asked them to continue working, and when they were about to leave, they found that those slaves were all sweating profusely.

The clothes they wore were almost all attached to their bodies, and several male slaves took off their shirts and worked naked.

It's really hot to work at this point in time, Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't help but look up at the sky, the sky was cloudless, and the blue sky looked beautiful.

If you lie on a deck chair under the shade of a tree not far away, look at the sky leisurely, look at the mountains in the distance, look at the green grass nearby, and listen to the music, it will make people feel good.

But the feeling of working under the sun is really not wonderful, the bright sun pierces people dare not look directly, and constantly exudes a blazing temperature.

Alas, it was so hot, and these slaves were working under the sun, so it was better not to suffer from heat stroke.

Think about boiling a big pot of mung bean soup to relieve the heat, and when the slaves are thirsty, you can also drink it to relieve the heat.

When buying farm tools in the blacksmith shop, she also thought that the slaves would have to live here, so Zhang Xiaoxue also bought a few large iron pots, as well as kitchen supplies such as dishes and chopsticks.

The things that I would buy would come in handy, so I found a few stones from a nearby place and built a simple stove on a cleared field.

Zhang Xiaoxue didn't bother to look for dry firewood everywhere anymore, and took out some waste straw directly from the farm's abandoned recycling warehouse.

As soon as the iron pot rack was ready to be cleaned, and the mung bean soup was boiled on the fire, Zhang's mother saw Zhang Xiaoxue's actions and came over here.

"Cher, what are you going to cook?"

"Mother, I plan to boil a big pot of mung bean soup, and after it cools down for a while, if the slaves are thirsty, they can drink some, both to quench their thirst and to quench the heat.

It's so hot that they're sweating like this, I'm afraid someone will get heat stroke. ”

"Xue'er is very thoughtful, then you can let it go, let my mother come. ”
