Cloth made of cloth is actually not conducive to the activities of orcs. The thread spit out by the caterpillar dragon is not even half as tough as the root hair thread. When the females are hunting, they are easily torn if they move too much. The only advantage is the texture Thin and soft, it is comparable to the fur of a snow bear.
Carlo didn't want to learn to make clothes for himself, but he felt that this kind of clothes can be worn without using vines or animal skins as belts. It would be more convenient for children to wear. He wants to learn to make some Prepare it for future children, so that even if the child moves a little more in winter, he is not afraid that he will kick his clothes away and cold himself.
Seeing that Ali had arrived, Aze picked up the few prey he caught last night and stuffed them into his backpack. One was on his back, and the other was in his hand to fetch water and dispose of them in the Chishui River. The prey had gone. In the morning, he and Chen Qi hadn't eaten breakfast because there was no water, and they had enough energy to work.
Ake and Azhang, who had already eaten, planned to return to the tribe and start moving stone slabs. Before leaving, Chen Qi handed them two thick ropes and taught them how to tie things with ropes, so that they could carry more than one piece at a time. Need to run so many times, but also can save a lot of time.
Both of them learned quickly, and they basically learned it after seeing it once and doing it once. After the two left, Chen Qi took Ali and Carlo to see if any prey had been caught in the traps laid on the road to the banyan tree. Those traps hadn't been checked for two or three days. I hope that even if the prey was caught, there would be no prey. Was starved to death.
Ali and Carlo both carried the backpacks they made. The animal skins used in these two backpacks were not the ones that Chen Qi taught them to make before. It seems that they remade some after returning to the tribe. There were not many prey caught on the road to the banyan tree before, so they planned to turn to the gum tree next to them after seeing the traps. After all, there are a lot of gums needed to build a house, and the ones picked before are not enough. .
Chen Qi was worried that he would encounter skunks on the road, so he paid attention to the smell in the air along the way, but fortunately, he didn't find any more stinky smells on the road. But what surprised a few people was that there were only more than 20 traps along the way, and they actually harvested nearly ten prey, five of which turned out to be colorful pheasants, two snow geese, and the remaining three It was a fat rabbit that was almost dying.
Chen Qi looked at the pheasants and snow geese in his hand, "Are all the animals here so easy to catch?" You must know that birds are very alert creatures, so how could such a simple device catch them? And it has not been taken away by other predators for so many days. Could it be that the last time Aze taught the vultures and cheetahs was too loud, the surrounding predators dare not approach this place
Ali thought for a while, and replied uncertainly: "I heard from Azhang that many animals from the other side of the Chishui River have crossed here recently. Maybe they triggered the trap when they passed by here." It's also hard to think that these root fibers are strong enough after being braided into ropes, otherwise, pheasants and snow geese that are twice the size of rabbits would not be able to break free. Why couldn't the traps he set near the tribe catch so many prey? Could it be that the animals all took a detour because they were too close to the tribe? It seems that you can try to go a little farther and set some traps.
The three set up the trap again, and because there were more prey, they took all the prey home before picking gum. After A Ze brought the water back, he roasted a rabbit first, and told Chen Qi to eat before going to work. Chen Qi simply rinsed his mouth with water, and finished his breakfast with roasted rabbit meat and an apple.
In one morning, everyone brought back the gums and stone slabs. At noon, Chen Qi roasted the hares and big-eared foxes he caught yesterday, together with a few rabbits he caught in the morning, for lunch. No one went hunting today, everyone I didn't eat much, and after eating hastily, I started building the house.
Aze and the others brought back all the stone slabs that Chen Qi had collected in the past two days, and piled them all up on the ground. Aze and Ake took their backpacks and went to dig the sand in the river, while Chen Qi gave Azhang and Ali, who were the main builders of the house, explained the concept of the house. Carlo occasionally needed to go back to the house to see how the gums were melting. Most of the time, he stood curiously beside Chen Qi and listened to what Chen Qi said.
"More than three meters high?" Azhang frowned, "It's too high, the snow is very thick in winter, and a house so tall will easily be crushed by the snow."
"No, the sword keel that has been made is for support." Chen Qi explained. "Why don't we try my idea first, if the winter really collapses, we can move back to Aze's house."
Azhang thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine. It's the first time I've encountered your method of building a house. Maybe it can really survive the winter."
The foundation of the house had already been dug when the Stegosaurus pit pillar was dug. In order to make it stronger, Chen Qi also dug a trench more than half a meter high. Sealed. But after seeing so many stone slabs, I feel that it is enough to build the outer wall into two layers. I don’t know how cold it is in winter, and the thicker the wall can keep warmer.
The frame of the house is no different from what the orcs usually do. They use pectin and sand to fix the stone slabs, but Chen Qi was stumped when they made the windows. It would be easier if they just made the windows dead. , but Chen Qi will not be able to open the window. Chen used the root-fibrous line to measure the length and width of the locust longan, and asked Azhang to reserve enough space for the window to be vacated first, and then figure out how to install the window before doing it.
After the wall was built to a height of two meters, another problem arose. The orcs had no way to put the stone slabs higher. Chen Qi originally wanted to make a wooden table out of glue, but it took time for the glue to dry completely. I don't know where Aze went to move a thick trunk that was more than one meter high and almost half a meter wide. Azhang jumped directly on the trunk, and Ali stood below and handed Azhang a stone slab and pectin silt.
Several people were busy and wanted to finish building the house as soon as possible. After the sun completely went down, the house was basically completed except for the roof and windows. Chen Qi looked at the house with satisfaction, which was similar to what he imagined, and he was very happy. Carlo Excitedly turned around the house several times.
After a whole day of work, everyone was tired and hungry, and the three females who mainly did physical work felt more tired than they had gone hunting all day. In order to reward everyone, Chen Qi moved the fire to the cleared space outside the house at night, planning to cook some new food.
As soon as they heard that there was new food, several orcs suddenly looked at Chen Qi with bright eyes. They didn't know where to fly because they were tired. Chen Qi was a little stressed by the hungry eyes. The materials are really limited, and it is impossible to make any delicious food, so we can only let this group of earth-bundled orcs who have never eaten delicious food try something new.
In order not to stain his clothes during the day, Aze put on an animal fur coat over his T-shirt. At this time, he took off the animal fur coat. The off-white T-shirt and his tall figure made him stand out in the crowd. It's just that the animal skin skirt on his lower body made him look a little nondescript. Chen Qi couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw it, and decided to make a pair of trousers for A Ze later. If he can't make good-looking trousers, he can make a pair of big underpants.
Chen Qi took out the five pheasants and three snow geese that he caught in the morning. They hadn't eaten for a day, and the birds were a little sick. Chen Cheng filled a pottery plate with a small half of water, and added a little salt to it. , Stir evenly with chopsticks, and then ask Aze to grab the feet and wings of a pheasant to prevent the pheasant from struggling. A slit was made in the place to let Aze pick up the pheasant upside down, and the blood of the pheasant flowed from the wound on the neck to the pottery plate. Chen Qi stirred with chopsticks while signaling that Aze could throw the bloody pheasant aside , continue to pick up the second one.
Azhang and Ake were worried that there would be not enough water, so before it was completely dark, they each stuffed four large earthen pots into their backpacks to fetch water. Carlo and Ali surrounded Chen Qi and watched Chen Qi deal with it.
"Chen Qi, why did you mix the blood of the pheasant together like this?" Ali asked.
Chen Qi blinked at him, "You'll know in a while."
"It's a trick again." Carlo snorted dissatisfiedly.
Chen Qi smiled, in fact, he hadn't figured out what to cook with chicken blood. Put the processed pheasant blood on a large pottery plate aside, wait for the blood to coagulate, and use the same method to process the snow geese.
Chen Qi had already boiled a large pottery plate of hot water in the fire. At this time, he rolled the pheasants one by one in the water. He saw that the hairs were easier to peel off before handing them to the waiter. The three of them, each of them took one and began to shed the pheasant.
"I didn't expect the feathers of these pheasants to be peeled off so easily after being rolled in hot water." A Li exclaimed. You must know that every time they catch these birds, it takes a lot of effort just to process their feathers , but also because it is too troublesome, orcs don't like to catch them for food. Moreover, most birds are alert and have wings. They fly away as soon as you pounce on them. It is not as simple as hunting other animals.
"You can try this when you catch pheasants in the future. By the way, you must keep the feathers. If you don't know how to use them, I will teach you when I find a way to deal with them."
"What's the use of such thin and small feathers?" Carlo raised a feather and asked strangely.
"I haven't figured out how to use it yet. Maybe there are enough of them to make quilts or clothes."
Ali thought for a while, "Then next time I get these feathers, I will give them to you first, and let us know when you are sure of the use of these things."
"That's fine. Tomorrow I'll ask Ake to catch more pheasants, so that we can get enough feathers earlier." Carlo also wanted to know the usefulness of this thing earlier, because he had thrown away a lot of them for nothing before.
