Chapter 399: Weaving straw mats for the roof
The Minotaur tribe is really poor, if it weren't for the fact that they are numerous, fertile and united, maybe their status is higher than that of the Terran tribe and second to the half-elves.
Although it is located in the Sanhe Plain, the soil here is acidic and alkaline, which is not suitable for crop cultivation, and there are no plants on the Sanhe Plain except for the lush bitter cold grass, and the minotaur can only barely make a living by feeding some poultry on the bitter cold grass. And the young and strong minotaurs have gone out like a few horns, leaving some old and weak people to guard at home, how can there be labor to improve the living environment.
That is, the Minotaurs, a simple race that does not like to compete for power, can reproduce and rest in this kind of place.
Hearing that Luo Wen said that he had a way to build a roof with stones, he scratched the horn and was stunned, this is impossible, the Minotaur tribe has lived in this place for hundreds of years, and there is no way, what can Luo Wen do, so he couldn't help but ask: "What good idea do you have?"
"It's a good idea, you have to try it before you know if it works. Rowan smiled mysteriously and didn't make a package ticket.
At the invitation of the patriarch of the tribe where the young horns belong, the White Ash Mercenary Group will spend a night here.
Early the next morning, when everyone was still sleeping, Luo Wen had already gotten up, collected a little bitter grass around the tribe and pulled it vigorously, and nodded, Well, the toughness is good, and the length is enough, which is very in line with the requirements.
Then called Qiu Yuan and Sun Henglin up, because women are better at the next things.
"That's probably what it means, it's probably like this, are you going to tie it together?" Luo Wen gestured with two bitter grass in his hand, roughly gesturing, because he himself didn't know how the two bitter grass were firmly connected together.
"Huh...... It's not simple. Qiu Yuan threw a disdainful look at Luo Wen, "Isn't this the way to weave straw mats, Linlin, you will too, right?"
Sun Henglin nodded: "Yes, it's very simple." ”
"Well, can you make one seven or eight meters long and five or six meters wide?" Luo Wen smiled awkwardly and asked.
"Do you need this to make a roof?" Qiu Yuan asked curiously.
"I'll tell you when I'm done. Lovin smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Death, the old lady can't clean you up at night!" Qiu Yuan glared at Luo Wen and scared Luo Wen into running away, and Sun Henglin next to him trembled.
Qiu Yuan didn't think so, but smiled and said, "Linlin, this man just can't be too gentle with them, if they are too gentle, they don't know how to cherish it, it's just a word, cheap, understand?"
Sun Henglin nodded as if she didn't understand. Growing up under the protection of her brother since she was a child, Sun Henglin's mind is simple and simple, but since Sun Houcai died, Sun Henglin's heart is a little closed, and she is indifferent to her surroundings, until Qiu Yuan's daily companionship and chat, gradually become cheerful, and life begins to be alive again.
Now that Sun Henglin and Qiu Yuan have become good sisters and best friends, the two of them in the white ash mercenary group naturally have nothing to talk about, Qiu Yuan shows affection while not forgetting to teach Sun Henglin the skills of training men.
The two talked and chatted, and it took a whole day to weave a bitter cold grass "straw mat" eight meters long and six meters wide.
"Yes, thank you, two beauties. Rowan smiled with satisfaction.
"Don't say it's useless, how can you thank us. Qiu Yuan tilted his head and said very "domineeringly".
"Uh, dear, give me some face, Linlin looked at it. "Rowan tracheitis is getting worse and worse, but this is his own volition, no one is to blame. Painfully escaped a few attributeless high-grade magic crystals and gave them to Qiu Yuan, "I'm worth this money, let's play with it, I flashed ......"
Qiu Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "Go, go." Then he turned his head and Sun Henglin smiled and began to share the spoils.
Sun Henglin is a high-level ice magician, so she naturally needs magical support, but she can't make money by herself. Qiu Yuan, as her good sister and best friend, who can she help if she doesn't help her, who else can she knock if she doesn't knock Luo Wen, the landlord, anyway, he has a lot of attributeless magic crystals.
And the key thing is that Qiu Yuan knows that Luo Wen will not care about such a small problem. Sun Henglin's strength is strong, isn't it the strength of the mercenary group?
Seeing Luo Wen dragging such a big bitter cold straw mat, everyone curiously inquired about how this was related to the construction of the roof.
"Look at it!" Luo Wen beckoned to the little fat man, Hong Zegeng, the little horn and Wang Xiaosong pulled the corner of the straw mat.
The bitter grass is full of toughness and stiffness, even if four people pull a corner, the middle of the bitter grass mat does not fall, but stands upright, parallel to the ground.
"See?" Luo Wen pointed to the straw mat, "how good and strong the characteristics of this bitter cold grass are." ”
The little horn rolled his eyes, how could Lord Rowan talk some nonsense, the characteristics of bitter cold grass they don't know yet, where to feed the poultry, who doesn't know.
"It's okay if you don't understand, I'll show you and you'll understand. Luo Wen led the four people to drag the straw mat to the house with fewer corners, "I'll take the house with fewer corners as a demonstration, this straw mat is made according to the size of a stone house with fewer corners." ”
The missing corner nodded, indicating that it was okay.
Let the four of them climb up with straw mats, and cover the original leaf roof with straw mats. The length and width are sufficient, and it exceeds a lot, and the four corners that exceed it are of great use. Lovan had stones fetched, and then a basket hung from one corner, and the basket was filled with stones, so that the middle, which had already fallen, was lifted up, or at least looked flat.
"Well, you're not the roof you said, are you?" the young corner looked dumbfounded, "Although I have to admire you for making such a thing out of bitter cold grass, this one is also leaky when you put leaves on it, and maybe the only good thing is that it will be difficult to be blown away by the wind." ”
The little horn admires Lovan very much in his heart, this weaving method they don't know how to weave, at least Lovan this method is very good, don't be afraid of being blown away by the wind in the future.
Luo Wen rolled his eyes: "It's not over yet, what's the hurry...... El, come, give a show to the little horn. ”
"Okay!" Elle grinned as he reached for his staff.
Although the little horn didn't know what El could have to do with building a roof, he still held back his curiosity and quietly waited for El to perform.
The Alpha Staff pointed at the bitter cold grass mat, chanted a spell in his mouth, and everyone watched as the bitter cold grass petrified one after another, and within five minutes, all the bitter cold grass was petrified, and finally connected with the stone house. From below, it looks like a hollowed-out roof.
"Brothers, get on the stones!" Lowen climbed up to the roof, and jumped on the roof of bitter grass, well, yes, very strong, not shaking.
The brothers of the White Ash Mercenary Group had already found a large pile of stones according to Luo Wen's instructions, and then sent them to the roof, which were spliced together piece by piece by the little fat man and Hong Zegeng. In less than two hours, the little fat man and Hong Zegeng laid the roof.
The bottom is paved with bitter cold grass, and the roof is paved with thin stone flakes, and even if the rainwater flows, it will only flow to the lower places, and will not leak into the house.
After the paving was completed, Luo Wen pulled the little fat man and Hong Zegeng to jump and jump on it, confirming that the roof was strong and reliable.
"How's this roof?" Rowan asked with a smile.
"Forehead......" The young horn scratched his head, "But we don't have earth-based magic, so it's petrified for us......"
"It's okay, other people's can be paved with bitter cold grass, it's just not as good as your petrified bitter cold grass roof, how can we say that we are also friends, it's nothing to petrify you, right?" Luo Wen smiled.
"Hehe, that's embarrassing. The little horn smiled innocently.
While watching the patriarch for a long time, an old minotaur came to Luo Wen respectfully, he was old and refined, of course he knew that this group of people was Luo Wen's final say: "Lord Luo Wen, oh, troops, Master Luo Wen, can you hand over this bitter cold straw weaving method you designed to us?"
"Absolutely. Luo Wen happily agreed, although this straw mat weaving method has never appeared in the Elven Continent, but in the Terran Continent, even ordinary people can do it, and there is no need to keep it secret.
"Thank you, Master!" the old Minotaur Patriarch burst into tears of excitement, "We can finally live in a house that does not leak rain!"
The surrounding minotaurs who witnessed this miracle screamed excitedly.
Luo Wen smiled bitterly, the long-term poverty life has made this group of minotaurs have really low requirements for life.
