031 Winter Solstice

The reason why Zhao Hao couldn't find the stone for the fire bed was that it was difficult to find a flat stone strip as wide as a bed among natural stones, let alone a flat stone slab as big as a bed. Moreover, the shapes of natural stones were basically irregular, so there was no way to find them.

Used as the base of the fire pit.

This is different with clay bricks. The base of the fire kang can be built directly with small clay bricks. It will be stable and stable. You don't have to worry about the bed collapsing when you push hard at night.

As for the bottom bed board of the heated kang, it is enough to use large clay bricks. It is enough to place two or three rows of small clay bricks horizontally underneath.

Next, he spent another half day building a fire kang. Moreover, for the sake of firmness and sealing, he also smeared clay in the gaps between all the bricks.

After a lot of hard work, a brand new fire pit finally appeared in the bamboo house. Zhao Hao lay down on it and rolled a few times to try it out. There was no problem with the firmness, but it was a bit too hard.

This problem is not difficult to solve. Cut down a few trees, use magic weapons to cut a few wooden cubes and lay them on top, then put a layer of hay on the wooden cubes, and finally spread the tiger skin on the hay. That guy is called a soft man.

ah!

Well, just use the tiger skin to make bed sheets. After all, even if it is made into a skirt and waistcoat, it will still be very cold in winter, so there is no point in it.

As soon as he lay down, he suddenly realized that he finally had a bed!

He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he'd been in bed.

Once he lay down, he felt so comfortable that he didn't even want to get up!

During this period of time, he basically didn't get a good rest. He even couldn't sleep at night due to some indescribable reasons. It could be said that he was extremely sleepy, so he fell asleep not long after lying down.

In the evening, Ayun and Ayue ran back to the house with Menglan and Mengbao and were shocked again.

The fire pit has been set up, and the entire bamboo house is completed.

By this time, Zhao Hao had already lit the firewood in the fireplace, and the inside of the bamboo house was as warm as early summer.

There is also the fire bed on the high ground, and the flat saber-toothed tiger skin is so beautiful!

Ayun couldn't help but throw herself on the hot kang. It felt so comfortable. She shouted happily: "Sister Ayue, come up and try it. God really didn't lie. It's much more comfortable on this hot kang than on the ground."

"

this!

Ayun is ignorant, but she is not.

If you belong to a little girl’s family, what’s the point of sleeping with others?

However, it seems that in the past, they slept together with Menglan and Mengbao every night, so it would be okay to sleep in another place.

Ah Yue finally couldn't help her curiosity, slowly walked to the edge of the fire bed, sat down and tried it, and then was knocked down by Ah Yun.

So, curiosity can kill the cat, and in many cases, curiosity can also trick people!

Zhao Hao had actually woken up a long time ago, but as soon as Ah Yun pounced on him, he didn't want to wake up so soon. It wasn't until Ah Yun and Ah Yue played around him for a while that he pretended to open his eyes and bewildered.

He said vaguely: "Hey, it's getting dark soon?"

Ayun said innocently: "Sister Ayue and I have helped Ahuo and the others smoke several boxes of fish, but you are lying here sleeping, huh, want to be lazy? Tell me, should you take care of the barbecue tonight?"

Already?"

BBQ?

no problem!

Zhao Hao immediately jumped up from the fire pit, pulled out the magic weapon, cut off a large piece of saber-toothed tiger meat, placed it on a chopping board made of a large tree stump, cut it, and then quickly cut it again.

He used a bamboo skewer to skewer the meat piece by piece, then split a piece of bamboo in half, stretched it directly into the fireplace, scooped out two handfuls of charcoal and poured it into the barbecue tank, then placed the meat skewers on top of the tank and sprinkled it.

Add some salt and the barbecue is almost done. You just need to turn the bamboo skewers a few more times and you can basically eat it.

His movements were so smooth that Ah Yue's eyes were filled with brilliance. Ah Yun happily jumped down from the fire bed, fiddled with the bamboo sticks, and praised: "You are so awesome, these things are not even good."

I know how you came up with it, and the fire kang is so amazing, it’s so comfortable to lie on it!”

Comfortable?

The kang hasn’t been lit yet. In winter, it will be really comfortable if the kang is lit!

As winter approached, the Youyan tribesmen finally moved here after hesitating for a long time.

This time, ten families moved in, most of them had some relationship with Zhao Hao or Ah Shan. For example, Zhao Hao's aunt moved here.

When there were more people, the bamboo forest became lively. There were also people collecting, feeding, and smoking fish, and Ashan and the others felt much more relaxed.

However, Zhao Hao could not relax anymore.

Because these tribesmen don't have houses to live in yet, in late autumn, it's okay to squeeze in with Ashan and the others, but in winter, that won't work.

Generally, when there is no house to live in, the people of the ancient tribes will just find a place and bend down tree trunks, bamboos, etc. to use as roofs, then put some branches on top, and then spread a layer of hay, and the place to live is basically solved.

.

However, Zhao Hao didn't want them to live in that low and humid thatched house anymore. After all, winter was very cold, and it was common for people to freeze to death lying in that thatched house.

He wanted all the tribesmen to live in simple bamboo houses, and the floor should at least be paved with bamboo chips and stone slabs.

However, he got himself into trouble with this idea, because he had to prepare most of these materials, and he was the only one in the clan who had magic weapons in his hands.

This guy will be extremely busy in the next few days. He is like a processing machine, chopping bamboo and whittling bamboo, chopping and whittling tree stumps. He is so busy.

.

Fortunately, both Ayun and Ayue can help with things like pillars and beams, and tying bamboo rafts. As long as they are taught once, all the tribesmen will be able to do it. Therefore, the bamboo house was built relatively quickly, with dozens of people working together.

After getting started, ten simple bamboo houses were built in just a few days.

Next, they have to store enough firewood. In the winter, they can't do it without a fire. They are wearing short skirts and waistcoats that don't get very hot in summer. In winter, they can't carry it without a fire.

live.

This busy process lasted for several days. When the firewood was almost ready, the sky slowly became gloomy and the temperature became lower and lower. Apart from collecting fish, feeding fish, and smoking fish, there were very few people in the tribe every day.

Get out and do some activities.

One morning, after Zhao Hao woke up, he suddenly discovered that there was a pitter-patter sound falling on the roof. This sound did not sound like rain, but like snow!

He hurriedly ran outside the house and took a look. Sure enough, the whole world was covered with a thick layer of white snow, and winter had finally come.

However, it seems that it doesn’t feel very cold!

At least, it wasn't as cold as he imagined.

What's going on?

He looked at the fish pond next to him and saw that the water surface was obviously frozen, which meant that the temperature was definitely below zero at the moment.

At this moment, he only had an animal skin skirt and a waistcoat with no sleeves. Why didn't he feel very cold?

He went out, stepped on the snow with bare feet and tried it.

Well, it's a bit cold, but not unbearable.

He felt that it wouldn't be a problem to stay outside for an hour or two in this weather.

Perhaps it's because his physique has been significantly strengthened many times that he is so unafraid of the cold.

You know, long before it started snowing, many tribesmen were too cold to go out and could only hide in their houses to warm themselves by the fire, but he was running around like a normal person.

He walked around outside the house, and his body was already covered with snowflakes. A gust of cold wind blew, and even if he was extremely strong, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

Forget it, if you have nothing to do, don't wait outside in the cold.

He patted the snowflakes on his body and returned to the bamboo house in a few flying directions.

At this time, the kang has already been burned, and enough firewood has been put into the fireplace. It is still very warm in the bamboo house. Ayun and Ayue haven't gotten up yet, and Menglan and Mengbao are snuggled in the corner piled with bamboo shoots and snoring.

Big sleep.

I don’t know how heartwarming this scene is.

The only pity is that he hasn't succeeded yet, not even a single one.

However, he was not in a hurry, and all his hard work paid off.

There is still another winter left, and as long as you work hard, you will always succeed.

There is nothing to do anyway at the moment, so why not work harder.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and walked slowly towards the fire bed...
