249. Village building plan
After Surdak finished cutting the horse meat, he was worried that the meat would spoil after a long time, so he asked the three young men who rushed to help carry a large basket and divide the horse meat at night, and each villager got a share.
"So much for a salamander's tail?"
The old village chief opened the canvas bag, revealing the dark and shiny iron nails inside, and then looked at the other canvas bags, obviously these iron tools were much more than he expected, which made him feel a little incredible, until finally, he sighed and said: "I knew that I could sell it for so much money, so I would have changed some more cloth and wool, and the winter supplies would be almost ready." ”
"That lizard tail sold for about three gold coins." Surdak thought for a moment before saying, "If you want to buy wool and cloth, you can't buy much. ”
The old village chief probably also knew the price of cloth and wool, and an ordinary wool horse was often twenty or thirty silver, and three gold coins really couldn't buy too much.
When the old village chief moved these iron parts back to the village's public warehouse, he instructed several villagers in the village who helped to carry the iron parts:
"Tomorrow we will re-check the solidity of the doors and windows and roof beams of each household in the village, and let them add the roof thatch, but there must be no more such thing as a heavy snow and the house collapses and crushes people to death, since there are so many nails, I am ready to take out some more wood to reinforce the old roof beams in the village that have been in disrepair for a long time, and there is no need to lift the roof to renovate, just use wooden planks for simple reinforcement, it should not cost anything."
The old village chief had a high prestige in the village, and when he said this, the villagers hurriedly agreed, after all, it was something that was beneficial to all families.
After transporting the iron parts, the old village chief asked Surdak to visit his house tomorrow, saying that he had built a wall of volcanic ash mixed with lime in his yard according to Surdak's method, and asked Surdak to see the effect tomorrow.
After these things were dealt with, the old village chief led the people out of Surdak's house, and the originally noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet, and even the twenty-two horses were driven to the Beigou pasture by Charlie and Luke overnight.
Little Peter waited for two days, and finally got a candy cube with wrapping paper, and then he followed his mother Natasha back to the house to sleep.
Rita began to clean up the messy yard, salted a large piece of horse meat left by her house with salt, and then put a large piece of horse meat in a wooden basin, covered it, and pressed it with stones, so that in case a small beast slipped in at night to steal food, her figure seemed a little round, and her complexion was not much better recently, and a pot of horse meat could be easily moved to the kitchen counter.
After bathing, Surdak crouched beside the stone mill to scrub his blood-stained leather armor, dressed only in a linen shirt and trousers.
The water soaked the dried blood on the leather armor, and Surdak brushed it first, and then rinsed it twice with clean water, but there was still a faint amount of blood oozing out from the dead corners and recesses of the leather armor. Rita, who had finished processing the horse meat, came over and helped Surdak scrub his long riding boots clean, Rita's hands seemed to have some kind of magic and were very flexible, and she had already brushed the boots while Surdak was still rinsing the leather cuirass repeatedly.
Rita was wearing a loose linen dress, quietly squatting beside Surdak, her bulging and full breasts were shown a perfect arc under the backlog of thighs, and a pair of slender legs were also wrapped under the long skirt, revealing some youthful heat, but Rita herself didn't notice it at all, she used her wet hands to pull the long golden hair on her sideburns behind her ears.
A piece of toffee wrapped in gold leaf paper was handed to Rita, and Rita was slightly stunned, looking at the candy and stunned.
The sweet milky smell could be clearly smelled through the gold leaf, Rita didn't move, Surdak thought she didn't like sweets, and asked with some confusion, "What, don't you like sugar?" ”
Rita had come to her senses at this time, wiped her wet hand on the linen dress casually, took the candy with a slightly red face, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy cube full of fragrant milk into her mouth, her lips were red and soft.
The moment the toffee was swallowed, Rita's eyes narrowed into crescents, and the satisfaction was the joy that emanated from the bottom of her heart.
Surdak rummaged through his magic fanny pack, pulled out a bunch of red apples from it, smiled at Rita and said, "I also brought back some apples......
“……”
……
The crispy scones were filled with some minced horse meat, which made Surdak feel that this breakfast had the taste of donkey meat on fire, but unfortunately there was no corn paste, but he drank a bowl of sweet chestnut rice porridge without cassava, and this breakfast made him feel the taste he had not seen for a long time.
They should have killed all the twenty or so horses. Surdak took a bite of the fragrant scone and thought to himself.
The old village chief's house is at the top of the river.
In fact, it has always been the responsibility of the village chief to take care of the village's water source, which is also the tradition of Vol Village.
Surdak, Charli, and the old village chief had been standing by a concrete wall since morning.
The old village chief asked the village bricklayer to mix the ash and lime powder into cement, and built a low wall in his yard, which was almost dry in two days, but this gray low wall was not as strong as Surdak said, just break it with his hand, and a large piece of cement fell off, and this strength of cement was not what Surdak wanted.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, the old village chief coughed dryly and said:
"In general, it's a bit stronger than a limestone wall, and the volcanic ash in the area of Pubao Mountain is everywhere, so it's easy to bring it back and mix it with lime powder."
Surdak thought for a while before he said to Charlie beside him, "Charlie, help me scoop a scoop of water." ”
Chalihao turned to leave, and it wasn't long before he brought a basin of water.
Surdak poured all the water on the low wall, and then said to Charley, "Help me to water this low wall every morning and evening, and we'll see again in a few days, and if it's still of this intensity, then we have to dig a big cistern." ”
Everyone sat down around a square table in the courtyard of the old village chief's house, the old village chief's wife brought out a pot of lemon tea, and Surdak took out a piece of parchment from his arms, and with a few strokes on the parchment, he outlined the general topography of the ravine of Vol Village.
He told the old village chief: "I would like to ask the villagers to build a dam upstream of the village, so that the village will have a large reservoir, which can fully irrigate the land in the village even during the dry season, and when the rainy season comes, the water can be stored through the reservoir to ensure that the river will not be flooded, and the plan is ......probably like this."
