Chapter 293: Sack
"I wanted to make salt pans before, but it was only the first step in salt production, and I had to filter the seawater first."
"We didn't have anything to filter before, so the Yantian project had to be put on hold for the time being."
"Now that I have sackcloth, I can use it to filter the seawater."
Lu Chen ignored Qin Shou's praise, and just talked about the situation.
"Okay, it's up to you to arrange everything, Brother Lu."
"Brother Lu, you say the east, I will never go west."
"I will resolutely obey Brother Lu's command."
Qin Shou stood up and saluted Lu Chen.
Looking at Qin Shou's appearance, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Alright, don't play tricks."
"If you're idle, keep chopping bamboo."
Lu Chen commanded.
"Okay, I'm sure I'll get the job done!"
Qin Shou didn't say a word, he stood upright, and went immediately.
"Bang Bang Bang!"
Lu Chen woke up to the sound of rain.
He got up and looked at it, and it was raining heavily.
Fortunately, their dwellings were already elevated, and the rain did not spill in.
"Brother Lu, is it raining?"
Qin Shou also woke up when he heard the movement, and he asked sleepily.
"It's raining."
"It's still early, let's go to bed a little longer."
Lu Chen closed the door and sealed the residence to prevent the rain from coming in.
Rainy days are good for sleeping, and the sound of crackling rain is especially helpful for sleep.
Especially on the islands, where they don't have much to do, and it's even more time to sleep in this weather.
The two slept until almost noon, and then got up.
"It's been a long time since I've slept so full."
"It's rare to sleep so comfortably, it's really good to sleep on a rainy day."
"It's just that I'm too late, and I'm a little hungry."
Qin Shou stretched, he was awakened by hunger.
"The rain has stopped, and you can start cooking."
"If you're hungry, eat a few fruits first."
Lu Chen looked outside and took a few wild fruits for Qin Shou.
Qin Shou padded his stomach, and then went to cook.
Recently, the two of them have become accustomed to this division of labor, Qin Shou cooks, and Lu Chen makes other handmade products.
The meal was quickly ready, quinoa rice, matsutake soup, barbecue slices, a simple meal, and the two of them ate fragrantly.
"We need to build a house as soon as possible, this improvised shelter is still too shabby."
"It's crackling in the rain, and it's too loud."
"And it's small, so you can't put a lot of things in it, and some of our firewood is wet."
Lu Chen ate and talked about the problem of the house.
After they had made their dwellings, they built another improvised shelter of this kind in order to store their belongings.
The newly built one was used as a warehouse, and a lot of the supplies they collected were placed in it.
But even so, the sanctuary itself is limited in size, and they can't put all their stuff in it.
Some of the firewood piled up outside was inevitably wet.
"I've thought about it more comfortably, but I really have to rebuild the house."
"It's just too much trouble to build a house, so we'll have to work hard again."
"It's all to blame on those savages, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have a home and can't go back."
"I still think our original house was pretty good, but I can't go back now."
Qin Shou couldn't help but sigh.
They didn't want to confront the wildlings for the time being, so they had to avoid it.
But it's so easy to rebuild a dwelling.
"No matter how hard it is, you have to do it."
"On the bright side, now that we have experience building houses before, it will be easy to rebuild this time
Many."
"And we can build better and more spacious than before, and then we will be more comfortable to live in."
Lu Chen comforted Qin Shou.
"It's true that I have some experience, but I'm still reluctant to live in the previous house."
"Every brick there is made by the two of us."
"Speaking of which, Brother Lu, can we really get those mud bricks back?"
Qin Shou thought of those mud bricks, and felt a pang of regret.
"It's a bit far from the original residence, so forget about the mud bricks."
"It's going to take too much effort to get those things here, so we might as well remake them."
"The original house will be our temporary residence."
"We can still go back and have a look in the future, those wild people won't stay there forever."
"If we go around there again, let's go back to that house and rest."
Lu Chen also felt that it was a pity that those mud bricks were lost.
But it can't be helped, the mud bricks are already very heavy.
At such a distance, they couldn't move many mud bricks in one trip.
Even if they move from morning to night day by day, they have to move those things for many days.
With that effort, they might as well remake it, which would save more effort.
"Then let's go collect materials and remake the mud bricks then."
"There's clay on the riverside near the bamboo grove, and there's just a ready-made material nearby."
"When the weather is good, we'll get to work!"
Qin Shou brought up his spirit again.
It's just a matter of rebuilding the house, not a big deal.
"Okay, but the weather isn't very good today, so I don't know if it will rain later."
"Let's stay at home for a day."
"I'm usually busy running around every day, and it's rare to have a comfortable day."
Lu Chen looked at the sky.
Although the sun is out at this time, the clouds are thick, and the sun will be obscured from time to time.
"Okay, but you can't be idle at camp."
"After a good night's sleep, my bones are crispy."
"Brother Lu, what else do you need to do, is there anything I can do?"
Qin Shou moved his shoulders.
"Let's make a drying rack and come out."
"The trap in the pine forest doesn't know if you caught the boar."
"Wild boars are big and have a lot of meat, and if we catch them, we won't be able to eat them all."
"The rest of the meat will be made into bacon and jerky, and I will keep it for later."
Lu Chen thought for a while.
They had made drying racks before, and Qin Shou knew how to do it, so he could do it independently.
The two of them worked separately, Qin Shou made a drying rack, and Lu Chen weaved linen.
It took an afternoon for Lu Chen to use up all the twine he had processed.
He made several pieces of linen, the largest of which was intended to be used to filter the seawater.
As for the rest, it is intended to be used to make clothes.
"Qin Shou, come, I'll measure you."
Lu Chen greeted Qin Shou.
"Brother Lu, your sackcloth is ready!"
"Are you going to make clothes for me?"
Qin Shou's eyes were shining.
"yes."
"It's just that the linen cloth is limited, so I can only make a set of clothes first."
"I'll do it for you first."
Lu Chen nodded.
"Brother Lu, you better make it for yourself first, I'm not in a hurry, I can still wear this clothes."
"I'll gather some more flax tomorrow and get it ready for later."
"When the twine is enough, you can make me another dress."
Qin Shou was a little embarrassed.
