Chapter 81: The Wooden Bed

Winter is coming, will spring be far away?

Wen Xian's answer is, of course, far away. It's only early December, and there are still two months left before the Chinese New Year!

I spent the last two months in a cave, and I couldn't be bored. When she was in a daze on weekdays, she had already recalled all the books she could remember in her head.

also recalled the experience of his previous life and the experience of the original owner. However, after the whole set, it was still only half a month.

Wen Xian raised her eyes and said, "I think we can take the time to make a bed and come out." ”

She had had this idea for a long time, but she never put it into practice.

She wanted to make a super big bed, the kind that would sleep eleven people.

In winter, it's warm to sleep together.

If you have a bed, you don't have to worry about the ground getting damp and getting rheumatism in the future.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Listen to Madame." ”

As long as it's not a dangerous idea, that's fine. Make a bed, just do it.

Just do it, Sheng Li'er and Wu Junlan took the lead in carrying axes and big knives to go out to chop wood.

A large bed that can accommodate 11 people, if each person is half a meter wide, must be at least five and a half meters long and two meters wide.

The load-bearing capacity must be strong enough, otherwise eleven people will collapse when they sleep.

Thinking of this, Wen Xian shook her head and decided to make a single bed about one meter three wide for Jiang Jingwan first.

She sleeps by herself as a pregnant woman, and can sleep together in the bed after the child is born, saving the heavy moisture on the ground.

In fact, the bed can be spliced without nails, but directly with a mortise and tenon structure.

Thick wood is split in half to make the side of the bed and the head of the bed, and the thick wood with legs and wrists is split in half to make the bed frame.

Then cut the ends of each piece of wood that served as the bed bone into a slender rectangle. Finally, cut a hole slightly larger than a rectangle in the large wood next to the bed, and then install the bed bone into it.

This kind of mortise and tenon structure of the bed will only sleep tighter and tighter, and will not fall halfway unless it breaks.

A single bed, with the joint efforts of eleven people, was completed in three days.

Do it early and enjoy it early, Wen Xian regretted once again that she had been running for survival for the first few months and did not make time to make a bed earlier.

After the single bed is ready, the bamboo mat is spread on the bed and a layer of hay is added. Then the quilt was spread, half of which was used as a mattress and the other half as a cover.

The quilt is a two-meter-long double quilt, which is enough for Jiang Jingwan to toss like this.

Jiang Jingwan was moved in her heart and said, "Madam, this bed can sleep three people if you squeeze it." ”

Even if you don't sleep three, you can sleep two.

Wen Xian hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's just so that you can sleep more spacious, so that the bed is made so big." The quilt can only be divided into one bed for you, you can measure it yourself, and sleep how you want. ”

The bottom of the left and right beds is only 10 centimeters to the ground, even if it collapses, it will not matter.

But in order to avoid accidents, everyone still worked in pairs and slept in turns for five days. After proving that the quality of the bed was fine, Jiang Jingwan was moved to the bed to sleep.

And the big bed they built was also completed in mid-December.

The big bed had to sleep ten people, but there were only four quilts. So, there is no extra quilt to use as a mattress.

For a five-meter-long bed, you can only lay a few single bamboo mats on the bed, spread hay, and then a layer of bamboo mats.

When they sleep at night, they can also take off their cotton clothes and put them on it according to their own needs, which can be regarded as a mattress.

But soon, the continuous snowy days came again. At night, the charcoal fire and the quilt could no longer withstand the cold, so I could only sleep in cotton clothes.

I don't mind, but I hug each other in pairs and keep each other warm.

And Wen Xian slept at the head of the bed, and next to her was Xia Zhi who minded but didn't mind.

I don't mind that Xia Zhi doesn't want to sleep with other people, and I don't mind unless that person is Wen Xian.

Wen Xian: ...... It's just helpless.

Among all of them, Xia Zhi has the best figure. Even if she is wearing cotton clothes, she can't cover her good figure.

Therefore, not to mention that Wen Xian is not used to sleeping with others. Even if she gets used to it, she doesn't really want to sleep with Xia Zhi, and she is prone to inferiority. No, it's autism.

Therefore, in the face of Xia Zhi's invitation, Wen Xian Yizheng refused with words, on the grounds that she liked to sleep by herself.

This time, the snow has not stopped for half a month. In the past half a month, they have not gone out again except for going out to the toilet.

The charcoal pile burned in the cave became larger and larger, and in order to avoid carbon dioxide poisoning, Wen Xian doubled the hole that had been reserved for ventilation.

On the day of Laba, Wen Xian specially approved three catties of polished rice, and made up eight kinds of bacon, chestnuts, mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, dried abalone, dried sea cucumbers, dried oysters and shrimps, and boiled a big pot of Laba porridge.

Abalone and sea cucumbers were picked up by the sea in the past, not much, so they only ate a little bit, and the rest were all dried and eaten on important days, or to make up for Jiang Jingwan's body later.

Jiang Lingling drank laba porridge, squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and said, "It's so delicious, it's better than at home." ”

When it came to home, everyone was silent in an instant, and this was the first time they were preparing to spend the New Year outside.

Although they can't easily leave the palace after entering the palace, every year before the Chinese New Year, the emperor will allow their mother's family to enter the palace to see them.

It's a pity that things are wrong, and they have become lonely and have no home anymore.

However, tasting the taste of laba porridge, they all looked at Wen Xian with gratitude and attachment on their faces. Now they actually have a family, not alone.

Wen Xian shuddered, and said angrily: "Look at what I do, my mother's family is not in the Great Qin Kingdom." I haven't been home for almost three years! ”

It's not, since the original owner and his relatives, he has never seen his mother's family. Probably because her consciousness is not enough, she is sometimes really unworthy for the original owner.

Laba porridge is boiled a lot, and it is the rhythm of boiling once and eating for a day.

Xu drank too much porridge, and at night, Wen Xian rarely got up to go to the thatched house outside the cave at night with cotton clothes.

She didn't light the torches, but relied on her good eyes and the light reflected in the white snow to touch the thatched house.

However, as soon as he touched the door, he kicked a ball of fluffy things.

Wen Xian gasped and didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly retreated back to the cave.

"Ma'am?" Sheng Li'er rubbed her eyes and shook over, and said suspiciously, "Madame is coming back so soon?" ”

She had just remembered that it was night, but when she saw Madame get up, she planned to lie down a little longer, and wait for Madame to come back again.

But she clearly remembered that her husband had just gone out, why did she come back so quickly, could it be that she was in a daze?

"Shh~" Wen Xian stretched out her index finger and put it to her mouth to signal Sheng Li'er not to speak, and then said in a low voice, "Be quiet, there is an unknown animal outside, I don't know what it is." You go and light a torch and bring the dagger again. ”

Sheng Li'er's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth wide to say something, but she immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth. Then he nodded again and hurriedly ran back to light the torch.
