Chapter 067: Grass Roof
Another plan is what Lu Qing saw when he watched a wilderness survival show.
The show is actually about building a grass house in the wild, yes, the whole house has a wooden structure, the walls and the roof are made of grass, the grass is best made of ferns, the leaves are large and the leaves are many, it is more convenient and efficient, but it is okay to use other branches and leaves weeds.
Combined with the conditions of the here and now, Lu lightly asked Ershi and Yitu to collect weeds early in the morning, and they wanted to take the ones with a length of forty or fifty centimeters, and the two of them spent most of the day yesterday, almost all over the neighborhood, and there was no shortage of them in the rift, and finally cut enough grass for them, fresh and withered.
Last night they had dried the grass by the fire, and then tied it one by one with a handful of strings, which was about the amount that an adult could have in one hand.
The two sides of the roof were still built with mud bricks, leaving only the front and back two inclined planes, and Lu gently asked Dacheng to tie more than a dozen beams evenly and densely on the inclined plane, and then starting from the bottom beam, he tied the straw bundles with strings one by one.
This bundle of grass is about ten centimeters tied to the front end, and the long tail is dragged down, and there is no gap between the bundle and the bundle.
After tying one row, then tie the next row to the previous one, and so on......
Soon, everyone saw a yellowed roof in front of them, and the tails of the upper rows of straw were covered on top of the next row, and the tails of the next row were covered on top of the lower rows, and there was an overlap of about 20 centimeters between each two rows.
The principle of this roof is actually the same as that of a roof made of tiles, and it is lighter and made of local materials, but if the wind and rain are stormy, it is inevitable that there will still be a possibility of rain leakage, and these straw bundles may also be moldy and broken, so they should be replaced on time.
Lu Qing is still not satisfied with this roof, but it is not a matter of three or two days to improve, anyway, now this roof is improvised, and this small house of only four square meters can barely live in people.
Lu gently descended the rift valley, picked up the bitter vegetable soup that had cooled there, drank a big bowl with a snort, and then grabbed a handful of freshly fried soybeans and ate them.
Starved her.
Yitu glanced at it and grinned and said, "Young Chief, it's just fried, and it's not fragrant enough yet." ”
Lu waved his hand lightly: "It's okay to eat it, your fried food is better than mine, it's good." ”
Yitu took over the food work the next day, she is a person who loves to eat, and she is very good, what dishes can be basically started if Lu Qing has made it once, although there are not a few dishes on Lu Qingqing's recipe so far, but Yitu is indeed much stronger than Ershi in cooking.
Yitu's mouth grinned even bigger: "I want to add salt to fried beans, and some can't be salted, so I added salt to the water when I soaked the beans last night - of course, I used the water to cook the beans, and it was not wasted - and then when I fried the beans, I divided several pots, and there were fewer beans in each pot, which would not be raw and not easy to burn." ”
Lu Qingqing: ......
So the bitter vegetable soup I just drank was added with water to soak beans?
She is also very busy, it is not easy to be responsible for the food after being busy, and she is still in the mood to divide several pots of fried beans, you must know that this fried beans have no technical content, that is, they are fried in the pot and have been fried, and the soybeans have been fried to the size before soaking, and the time spent is not small.
Lu lightly patted Yitu's thick shoulder happily: "I will teach you new recipes in the future, food or something, I will rely on you in the future." ”
Lu Qingqing loves to eat delicious food, and she also loves to cook food occasionally, but she is not happy to be around the stove every day, she prefers to eat ready-made.
But wouldn't it be too big to put a piece of soil in the cooking team?
At this time, he came back with crutches, covered in mud, and saw the fried soybeans in the pot, showing a distressed expression: "Young chief, these are all seeds." "What a shame to eat.
Lu said softly: "There are several buckets of seeds for you to squander, what does it matter if you eat a little?
Speaking of this, Ben's face lit up: "A bucket of soybeans was planted, and thirty buckwheat were planted, but the soil here is too wet and too soft, soybeans should be fine, there are already grown here, and I don't know if buckwheat can grow......; When the bulbs were next to each other, they were separated and planted, and the weeds were pulled out. ”
When it comes to some new words, Ben is a little awkward, but his ability to accept is also very strong, he is like a sponge, he does not miss any opportunity to absorb new knowledge from Lu Qingqing, he does not do it for anything else, but wants to make himself more capable, worthy of Lu Qing's attention.
In addition to studying, he now speaks more fluently, in fact, anyone who talks to Lu Qing often will find it difficult to bear their clumsy tongue and empty words, just like Ershi and Yitu, they will learn Lu to speak softly in private, and some words that they can't understand at that time will also be taken out and chewed and memorized repeatedly.
Lu frowned lightly: "That place is so far away, it's too hard for you to go back and forth." "It takes two or three hours to go back and forth, so it's no wonder that we get covered in mud.
Ben smiled hehehe: "Anyway, I don't have anything else, oh, there are also green melons, I will follow what the young chief said, all the weeds where the melon vines are found have been pulled, the old vines have been cut down, and the small melons on the vines have been removed...... Young chief, why do you want to take off the melons? Isn't it good to have more of them?"
"There is no one to fertilize this place, we don't have any fertilizer, a melon vine can get limited nutrition, melons grow a lot, each carvement gets less nutrients, they don't grow big, it's better to leave a few melons, nutrient collection ** should, so that it will be big and sweet. Lu said softly.
Ben immediately understood, this is the same as their tribe, there is only a little food, there are more people, everyone eats less, and they are all skinny.
It's such a simple truth, why didn't I think of it.
Pente looked at Lu lightly with admiration.
Lu coughed lightly and scratched his face, embarrassed to be looked at.
"Okay, you can see that you can almost call someone down for dinner, I have something to do, and I probably won't be back in the evening." Lu gently grabbed a piece of barbecued meat, held a big fragrant green peeled melon, packed a box of fried soybeans in a small and delicate wooden box made by himself, and walked away in a dashing manner.
