【340】Preparations for winter
The conflict between the Miao tribe and the Qing tribe Shen Nong didn't know, of course, even if he knew, there was nothing to worry about for him, for the current Huangqiu tribe, the twelve alliances were like a mountain, and the total number of people in his tribe was not as many as the second-level warriors in the other tribe, and he was worried about a wool, would the elephant be idle and have nothing to do to step on the ant nest.
Therefore, at present, the most important thing for Shen Nong is to accumulate grain and survive the winter.
Xiong Yao and the others went out hunting, and Shen Nong planned to take advantage of this period of weather that was not too cold to strengthen some of the warmth measures in the tribe.
The first thing to consider must be the wooden house where the clansmen live, when this wooden house was built, Shen Nong asked the clansmen to evenly coat the surface of the wooden house with mud to ensure that there were no gaps for the cold wind to blow into.
It has been several months since the first time the walls were pasted with mud, and Shen Nong was worried that some of the mud would dry out and peel, so he asked the clansmen to take action, planning to have a second mud pasting activity for all the wooden houses, so that all the clansmen could spend this cold season warmly.
The soil in the ancestral area of the Huangqiu tribe is very suitable for use as a pasting wall, and Shen Nong dug a large pit in the ground with a stone hoe, dug up the surface of the turf and soil, and then exposed the reddish-brown slime in the depths.
This slime is mixed with water, and it can have a very surprising stickiness, which is absolutely enough to paste the wall.
At Shen Nong's call, all the clansmen ran over with a wooden bucket, and when they filled a whole bucket of mud, they immediately ran to paste the house, which was a very interesting job for them, so everyone did it with pleasure.
"Chirp!" Lao Bai shook his shoulders and waved his arms to the side of the mud pit, looking at the mud in the mud pit very curiously, now Lao Bai has grown to a height of about one meter six, it looks like that, but it is beginning to make people feel a little mixed blood beast.
"Lao Bai, do you want to help with the wall too?" asked a little boy looking at Lao Bai.
"Chirp!" Lao Bai shook his hand decisively, what it hates to do the most is to take a bath, this mud puddle is so dirty, if you help yourself, maybe you will get the white hair on your body dirty, so you have to take a bath again.
"Lao Bai, you've been eating so fat lately! Look at your belly. Another little girl looked at Lao Bai's belly in surprise, only to see that Lao Bai's belly was now bulging like a leather ball, obviously eating a lot on weekdays.
"Chirp. Lao Bai patted his stomach, then took out a white bamboo shoot from the thick white fluff behind his back and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Shen Nong stood next to the mud pit, this mud is only the first step to keep warm in the cold season, don't forget that because of the hot and stuffy weather in the dry season, Shen Nong has never made doors for these wooden houses in the tribe, and in the dry season, the wooden houses have no doors to ensure that the wind and air outside can be circulated, so that the people living in the wooden houses will not feel too hot.
But if you don't put a door in the cold season, you'll probably be greeted the next day with a room full of popsicle sculptures.
Shen Nong naturally gave this matter directly to the four people of Cang, after all, they were the craftsmen with the most experience and craftsmanship in the Huangqiu tribe, and they were already familiar with doing this kind of thing.
"Wu, is this door just blocking the door of the wooden house?"
"Of course not, the call you are talking about, not the door. Shen Nong took a branch and squatted down and began to paint on the ground, and as he continued to sketch, a door panel with a protruding column on the left end appeared in the eyes of the four people.
"Look, insert a wooden post vertically into the soil, and insert the other into the door of the wooden house, so that you can have a rotatable effect that can be pushed in or pulled outward, and then install a latch here, which has a fixed effect on the door panel, so that the wind outside will blow the door panel and slide it open, and it is worth noting that this latch must be installed in the house, and you should not install it outside the house. Shen Nong said.
"Oh......" The four of them nodded in realization.
followed Shen Nong to make so many things, such a simple door panel is naturally difficult for the four of them.
"Hurry up and do it, and make sure to install the door panels for all the wooden houses before the cold season comes, because the lives of our people are at stake. ”
"Yes!!"
According to the memory left by the predecessor to Shen Nong, the cold season is a very terrifying season, when the cold season comes, the wind will be as sharp as a knife, blowing on people's bodies can even blow out a line of blood, and the rain will turn into hail, if you are not careful when you go out, people's heads will be smashed out of a bloody hole.
And these are not the most terrifying, in the cold season, the most terrifying thing is the absolute cold that will penetrate into the human body no matter how you cover it!
It's so cold that it's hard to forget, it's so cold that it hurts in the flesh and bones, and it's so cold that you don't dare to bleed, because if the blood is frozen into ice in the wound, it will hurt more than cutting flesh with a knife.
In order to solve and avoid these problems, the solution that Shen Nong can think of is heating, keeping warm, and burning fire, so that everyone can enjoy the most comfortable warmth.
After the last time the eel tribe was defeated, the tribesmen of the Huangqiu tribe used the ten iron pickaxes to get a lot of stones from the stone source of the eel tribe, and all of them were piled up in the big cave of the Huangqiu tribe.
But the production of the stove kang is not so easy, because Shen Nong is a southerner, he has never seen the kind of stove kang exclusive to the north in TV series and movies, if he wants to do it, he can only rely on his own modeling and self-understanding of the stove kang to imitate, which is a laborious job.
As the Huangqiu tribe used more and more wood, the forests around the ancestral land gradually disappeared and then flattened with a daily decreasing trend.
This made the terrain near the Huangqiu tribe empty, and if anything passed by, it would be spotted by the sentinels standing in the sentry hut as soon as possible.
In addition to the wooden house that needs to be installed on the door, the small cave where Shen Nong lives must also be installed, otherwise the small cave will be ventilated and ventilated, and the entire cave will have to be frozen in frost in the cold season.
"I'm going to have to think about how to make the kang. Shen Nong thought to himself.
