Chen Qi picked up the animal skin and wrapped it into the house. Carlo and the two of them had already sat down by the fire, the fire beside the fire had been extinguished by Chen Qi long ago, and now only a little bit of fiery red carbon was still exuding heat . Carlo took a small wooden stick and poked the bone in the bone soup that Chen Qi hadn't finished in the morning with a look of disgust. This thing is inedible, so why bother to cook it? Carlo raised an eyebrow in contempt.
Chen Qi is not very good at dealing with others, especially when others act like they don't want to talk to you. He thought that all orcs would be as enthusiastic as Aze to bring strangers in trouble home to help. It seemed that these two people were obviously a little picky and hostile towards him.
Chen Qi had a bit of a headache, but the other party was A Ze's family anyway, and he was living with others, not to mention one of them had saved him just now, so he couldn't be too rude to them. After thinking about it, I carefully picked a small handful of bright yellow dandelion flowers from the animal skin package, found a relatively small pottery dish, washed it carefully, and added a few sticks of firewood to the fire to burn it. Light it up, fill a pottery dish with half a dish of water and put it on the fire.
In the morning, Chen Qi discovered the water from the two newly fetched clay pots, and he didn't know what time Aze woke up. It was only when Chen Qi woke up after he finished fetching water and barbecued meat. Chen Qi clearly remembered him The sun had just risen when I woke up.
Although the dandelion flowers look very clean, they are not short of water now. Chen Qi still washed them with water, and put them in after the water in the fire was boiled. The beautiful flowers rolled in the boiling water in an instant. It's really beautiful.
Although Carlo seemed to have no interest in Chen Qi, his eyes always drifted to Chen Qi intentionally or unintentionally, watching Chen Qi take out the pottery plate with flowers from the fire, and finally couldn't help it Ask curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Cook tea." The only smaller container that can be used to hold things is the milk fruit shell that has been burned to a pitch-black husk. Chen Qi sighed silently. It seems that he needs to get the pottery bowl sooner. Now This is really inconvenient.
"Make tea? What's that?"
Chen used the fig fruit to carefully clean the milk fruit shell several times. He had just used this shell to drink bone soup in the morning, and it was covered with a layer of greasy. He explained without raising his head: "Some kind of water with a taste."
"Scented water? Can you drink it?" Carlo tilted his head, his eyebrows and eyes were still childish, and he looked like a curious and good student. Ake was not interested in Chen Qi's tea. He was holding firewood with a wooden stick in a daze, thinking about which animal would be better to hunt after sending Carlo back to the tribe in the afternoon.
Chen Qi handed the husk containing half of the dandelion tea to Carlo, "Try it, there is only this husk left here, do you mind if you drink it together?"
Carlo curled his lips in disgust, but reached out to take it. The freshly boiled water was still steaming. Carlo blew it lightly a few times before taking a sip. Chen Qifang didn't have many flowers, and the smell was very light, with only a little floral fragrance. "Nothing special." Carlo said He handed the dandelion tea to Ake next to him. Ake was bored directly, and he was not afraid of being hot.
Carlo glared at him angrily, "No one is robbing you, why don't you drink slowly?"
Ake smiled at him and returned the empty shell to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi took it, and the two of them obviously had no interest in this dandelion tea, and it was not easy to drink too much of this tea, so Chen Qi didn't refill the cups for the two of them, and the atmosphere returned to a slightly awkward silence. Chen Qi sighed softly in his heart, forget it, he drank the tea anyway, so it's not considered rude.
Chen Qi stood up and planned to go to the back room to get some longer firewood. The bundles of firewood in this room were all chopped by A Ze long ago, and the longest one was only the length of his forearm, so it was not suitable for making firewood. Racks to dry cured meat. In fact, Chen Qi originally planned to set up a shelf to dry under the fig tree next door, but after the vulture incident just now, he was afraid that all kinds of predators would be attracted as soon as the meat was hung out, and he might not be able to handle it without Aze Those creatures that were much more ferocious than him had no choice but to hang out in the room to dry.
Seeing that Chen Qi was about to go out, Carlo asked dissatisfiedly, "Where are you going?"
"I'll get some wood from the back room."
Seeing that Chen Qi disappeared behind the animal skin curtain after finishing speaking, he quickly stood up and followed out. If Carlo wanted to leave, Ake would naturally follow.
The three of them came to the back house, and Chen Qi picked up a few wooden sticks half a person's height. Seeing that Chen Qi really came to get the firewood, Carlo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The son Aze rescued before was full of lies. He clearly said that he didn't want to find a partner, but he turned around and hooked up with the patriarch's son. Thinking of this, Carlo gritted his back molars angrily. Ake rubbed his head comfortingly, in exchange for Carlo's eyes.
Chen Qi took the wooden stick back to the front room and inspected the two banyan tree roots he had cut back. Visually, there were at least one or two hundred roots. The sound is very tough and not easy to break. Satisfied, Chen Qi picked two or three sticks and simply kneaded them together, tied the three sticks, and made a simple version of a tripod. The other one was similarly processed and placed near the door where the half-opened curtain was opened. This is the most ventilated place, which is good for drying cured meat, but the smell of the room may not be very good.
Place a stick between two tripods and you've got a simple drying rack that looks decent.
Carlo turned into a curious baby again, and when he saw Chen Qi finishing the shelf, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing with this thing in your room?"
Chen Qi walked to the pottery plate with cured meat next to it, pointed to the neatly packed strips of meat on the plate and replied: "Dry the cured meat."
"How to dry in the room?" Carlo was still puzzled.
"Well, this meat can't be directly exposed to the sun, it can only be dried in the shade." After Chen Qi finished speaking, he sat down on the ground, picked up a few banyan tree roots and began to braid the rope like braiding hair. Law. Although the roots are very tough, Chen Qi still intends to be on the safe side and make the rope thicker.
The rope was quickly braided. Chen Qi picked up the sword horn knife, cut a slit on the salted wart pork, passed it through with the rope, and cut off the excess rope after visually measuring the approximate length needed. The tied warthog pork hangs on the rack you just made.
Before he knew it, Carlo had already moved to Chen Qi's side, watching him busy. When the bacon was stacked on the pottery plate, it looked like a lot, but now it is only hung with half a wooden stick.
Looking at Chen Qi who was washing his hands with figs in the pottery dish, Carlo asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Chen Qi thought for a while, "Let's clear up the land where the house is going to be built."
"Clean up? Clean up what?"
"Weeds or something."
"Isn't it enough to just build stone slabs? There are many empty houses in the tribe now, just go there and move the stones, instead of going to the Luoya Forest to find them."
Chen Qi paused, "Don't you need to dig the foundation first to build a house?"
"What's the foundation?" Carlo asked puzzled, which made him feel angry again, why he couldn't understand what the male said.
Chen Qi was silent for a while, he finally knew why the houses here were built so short, no wonder the stone slabs at the base of the houses were so thick, the feelings were built directly on the flat ground, and it was no wonder they were able to build the houses so firmly. Chen Qi sighed softly, "My house over there is a bit different from yours, I plan to build a house just like my house."
"What's the difference?"
Chen Qi compared the height, "Well, at least it's a little taller than your houses here."
"Wouldn't it collapse if it was too high? The previous patriarch built a very tall house, but it collapsed without surviving the first winter, and moved back to the original house in despair." Speaking of this Carlo couldn't help gloating about it.
Chen Qi didn't know how to explain it to Carlo, so he replied vaguely: "Mine should not collapse." After speaking, he picked up the sword corner knife and went out. Carlo hurriedly followed, and Ake threw the wooden stick that had been pulling the charcoal fire into the fire, and followed the two out.
Chen Qi had already divided the area where the house was to be built. Although the dividing line drawn with his feet was crooked, it was enough to distinguish the area. Chen Qi squatted down, grabbed the withered yellow weeds with one hand, and worked with the sword horn knife with the other. There are many kinds of weeds, most of which are unknown to Chen Qi. Some of them are still green, so Chen Qi directly pulls them out and stores them aside. He plans to carefully identify any species that he has a little impression of after finishing all of them. .
"Just clean up the weeds?" Carlo asked after watching for a while.
"Well, just clean up along this area that I stepped out of."
Carlo raised his chin at Ake, "Let's help too." Unexpectedly, this Xiongzi really planned to build a house next to Aze's house, thinking that he would not be able to bear Aze's sending him to the big tribe. Looking at the bustling Chen Qi who was busy in the grass, Carlo's disgusted eyes softened a little, forget it, let's observe for a while, if he dares to bully A Ze, he has a chance to deal with him. Carlo showed his sharp little canine teeth, and smiled sinisterly at Chen Qi's back.
Ake looked at Carlo, who was grinning like a kitten, with a funny face, stretched out his long nails resignedly, and squatted down to work. After all, Chen Qi was brought back by Aze, he didn't have preconceived hostility towards Chen Qi like Carlo did.
Chen Qi was startled, then smiled helplessly. Carlo really deserves to be Aze's younger brother. Although he always has a critical and disgusting expression on his face, he will still be eager to help. He looks more like an awkward big boy.
