Chapter 169 Brick Making
“It’s a place that can keep out wind and rain like a cave, but it’s more breathable and light than a cave, and it’s more comfortable to live in.”
Ziye said immediately: “ Then I don’t need to build my house, I can just live with the female owner.”
“ Then I don’t want a house, I want to live with the female owner.”
Everyone is clamoring to live with Tu Ling, but Tu Ling is definitely not happy. Although she likes beauty, she also needs privacy. It’s a space, and you’ll get tired of being with these handsome guys with long legs, thin waists, and fair skin all day long.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, let's build the house first."
"Then how to build it?"
Du Ling was silent for a while, she knew that the house must be made of bricks It can't be built like a chicken coop, just put some mud on it and it won't collapse once the person lives in it.
But where do you get the bricks?
Tu Ling felt a little regretful. She should have learned how to make bricks during those years when she was a blogger.
There was no way, even though Du Ling wasn't sure how to build a house, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and give it a try first.
Tu Ling found soil suitable for making bricks in the forest.
This kind of mud is different from the mud that was transported to the small plain before.
The mud in the small plain is dark in color, fertile and soft in texture, while the mud used for making bricks is yellow mud.
Yellow mud is slightly lighter in color and slightly reddish. This kind of mud has high viscosity, high temperature resistance and good plasticity.
Shape it into shape and bake it at high temperatures to form a waterproof and strong brick.
But this is all Tu Ling knows, and the rest can only be explored on his own.
A group of males began to be busy again, transporting soil and felling trees.
Tu Ling picked a fairly thick tree and used the trunk to make a hollow rectangular wooden frame. There are two handles on both sides of the wooden frame. This is the mold for making bricks. According to this size , Tu Ling made a dozen more.
Because he was not sure whether it would succeed, Du Ling planned to try it on his own first.
The yellow mud was mixed with water and became firm and silky. Tu Ling placed the mold on the cleaned ground and filled the middle part of the mold with yellow mud. Tu Ling pressed the mud tightly into the mold with his hands. Really, then took a deep breath, lifted up the mold and shook it hard. It turned out that the soil either stuck to the mold and could not fall off, or it was thrown off, but was broken in the middle due to too much force.
Tu Ling scratched his head, thinking about how to make the mud stick to the mold.
Looking at Bai Qi who was cooking in the distance, she had an idea.
Take some wood that has been burned into black charcoal from the side of the pot, crush it and turn it into black powder.
Tu Ling spread the powder around the mold, and the demoulding was much smoother.
The prototype of the bricks is pretty good, but the next step is to burn them.
Tu Ling controlled the intensity, repeatedly jumping between immaturity and cracking, and finally found the best heat for making bricks after trying more than a dozen times.
Looking at the first brick that was fired, Tu Ling felt a little proud.
More excited than when she killed the first zombie.
The color of the bricks was redder than the yellow mud. Du Ling knocked it with his hand. The sound was crisp and the texture was hard. If he slapped someone on the head, it would definitely work better than anything else.
The next step is to put it into mass production.
Tu Ling taught the orcs how to make bricks. Although the orcs were a little clumsy, after trying a few times, they became more proficient and the bricks they made became more and more beautiful.
After the bricks are molded, they will be baked by the tea spirit. The baked red bricks will be moved to the small plain by the orcs and stacked into piles of bricks. After such a set of procedures, the brick problem has been completely solved.
Actually, Du Ling wanted to rest for a while, but seeing that those males could only sleep at the foot of the mountain every day, he thought it would be better to build the house as soon as possible and let them live in it. In the cave.
Tu Ling selected a few of the smartest ones from a group of orcs and told them how to build a wall.
After they damaged the house, Du Ling specially asked them to build a chicken coop next to the living area to practice their skills.
But these orcs are surprisingly smart, and the chicken coop is very strong and beautiful. Sure enough, there is no natural superior gender, but they are not given the opportunity to show themselves, and they are deprived of it when they are born. rights, and then be suppressed by others for the rest of his life.
To cap the chicken pen, Du Ling also chose to cover it with a layer of wooden boards, then put bricks on top, and finally put a layer of yellow mud on the outermost part, which is more beautiful and stronger.
Tu Ling patted the male on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, let's go down and eat."
"It's not hard at all. If it weren't for Lord Tu Ling, we would still be stray beasts that all the orcs yelled at."
As he said that, several males were moved to tears. Tu Ling didn't want to see people crying, so he quickly killed them. Sent off to eat.
Tu Ling naturally followed, but saw Shiyi holding a spoon in his hand and looking at her with a resentful look.
Tu Ling didn't dare to go there, and she didn't even have to think about the reason for Shiyi's expression.
It has been a month since she opened up a new territory. During this month, she has sent all the males in her camp to cook.
In this month, Bai Qishi, Yinhen and the others hunted, cooked and distributed food every day, and they could only watch their female teach other males to make bricks and build houses.
If it were Tu Ling, she would definitely have opinions too.
It’s simply overkill.
But there is no way, who makes them cook delicious food.
After eating, the males jumped into the water in droves to wash away the sweat and mud on their bodies.
The moment he went down, the originally crystal clear water in the creek instantly became turbid and dirty.
“Hey!”
Lanjio, who was resting in the water with his baby in his arms, didn’t notice their movements. He only realized when the yellow stream water touched him. He was so disgusting. , immediately jumped into the portal and returned to the cave.
He kept washing his own body and Lan Ling's body with the clear water in the mountain water cave.
While washing, I complained to Du Ling sitting on the stool: "They are too dirty! Can you let them go farther away next time?"
Du Ling didn't take Lan Jiao's words to heart: "It's not dirty, it's just that the color of the yellow mud is mixed. Besides, they worked hard to help us, and I let them live outside, which is already too much. "
Lan Qiao said: "Please, you are a female. It is their honor to give them food and live in it in the future. Enter the hole They are so beautiful.”
“Really, baby?”
Lan Ling looked at Lan Qi in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.
"It's in vain for you to ask, you little thing who can't understand human language." Lanxiao tapped Lanling's nose lovingly, then looked around the cave and found that there was no one there. Yinhen and the others should be there at this time. Processing ingredients for tomorrow’s cooking.
An idea came to mind.
"Honey, you haven't kissed me for a long time. Do you want to kiss me?" Lan Qiao looked at Du Ling expectantly, waiting for Du Ling to kiss her.
