It took a long time to dissolve the grease deposited on the bowls and chopsticks in hot water, and then use tree sap to clean them over and over again. This is a very heavy workload.
Even though Su Ce had just rested and was full of energy, he was sweating profusely from such labor. Of course, Tan Tu also helped a lot in the middle... such as moving a large number of dishes, such as dumping buckets of dirty water and drawing clean water, such as relying on him to exert great strength when the grease stains are too stubborn Go scrape them clean with a stiff cloth, etc.
During this period, Su Ce gave all the orders, while Tantu only needed one order and one action.
And Tan Tu's willingness to work hard also helped to dispel Su Ce's displeasure caused by seeing such a dirty environment.
When everything was almost done, Tan Tu wanted to move the cleaned dishes back and put them away, but his arm was held by Su Ce. He turned around and saw that his sweetheart's face was a bit ugly.
Tantu was a little apprehensive: "Ah Ce?"
Su Ce took a deep breath and said calmly, "Tantu, do you think..." After a pause, "It's more convenient to dismantle that kitchen and build a new one, or to clean it first?"
The situation in the kitchen was even worse, there was no way to set foot there, and he would never allow the kitchen utensils that had been cleaned with great difficulty to be put there again!
Tantu suddenly realized, he smiled stupidly: "A Ce, wait for me." Then he turned and ran over, turned into a huge golden lion, then took a few steps back, kicked his legs—
boom!
The kitchen completely collapsed, and then the golden lion quickly kicked and kicked the logs to a further place. After a while, there was another crashing sound, as if they had all fallen into some kind of pit. All disappeared.
When Tan Tu came back, his face was full of invitations for credit.
Su Ce was silent for a while, raised his hand and touched the head of the lion lying in front of him: "Transform back."
Tan Tu changed back aboveboard.
Su Ce looked at his furry leather-like jacket and knee-wrapped trousers, and was a little puzzled: "...I've wanted to ask for a long time, Tantu. When you transformed, where did this clothes go?" ?”
Tantu had long been used to his sweetheart's ignorance, so he said without asking any questions, "This suit is my fur. If we males don't put it away deliberately after transformation, the fur will become enough to cover the body. , and fit our clothes."
It seems that not only the transformation can control itself, but even the fur can be as obedient as the body... Su Ce nodded: "So that's the case." Then he asked, "Build the kitchen now or do it tomorrow?"
Tan Tu thought about it and said, "Now, tomorrow I'll take Ah Ce to have a good stroll in the tribe." Then he said with a smile, "If Ah Ce wants to live here, it's better to get acquainted with it earlier. And I want Ah Ce to know more about it. With a few females, Ah Ce won't be lonely when I go hunting in the future."
Su Ce was stunned, and wiped his fingers on the bridge of his nose: "...Okay."
The orc males were very skilled in building a house. Su Ce sat in the back, holding a wooden bowl and adapting silently, while watching Tantu work.
The first is to break a giant tree with your arm, then tear off the bark with your hands, then use a sharp tool of unknown material to cut off the protruding bags and particles on the trunk, and then cut the wood into pieces The various shapes needed, and finally mosaic them together, and embed the four thickest pillars into the ground... The whole process seemed to flow smoothly, and Tantu made it very easily, and it didn't take long to finish all of them.
The newly built house smelled of wood. Su Ce was pulled up from the ground by Tantu, and together they entered the wooden house, which was only half the size of the two-story house, and found that the space was much larger than before.
Tan Tu looked at Su Ce quietly looking at the empty room, and asked cautiously, "Ah Ce, is there anything else we need to do here?"
Su Ce looked at it carefully, walked to about halfway, and said, "Build a wall here to divide the space into two halves, make a support for the pot inside, build it with stones, and open a wooden door. window, and outside make a table at my waist, extending to the doorway and as wide as your arm. Make a cabinet standing in the corner, leaning against the wall, and occupying the entire wall.”
After Tan Tu listened carefully, he rushed out and in again like a whirlwind, with the tools in his hand rattling, and he did exactly what Su Ce said.
... This finally has the appearance of a kitchen.
Su Ce nodded with satisfaction, and went out with Tan Tu this time: "Let's move all the tools in."
In this way, although Su Ce can only pack the bowls and chopsticks one by one, it can be considered as a help to Tan Tu, and Tan Tu, a guy who seems to have endless energy, runs around happily, following Su Ce's instructions from time to time. He ordered the kitchen utensils to be placed in the cabinets on the upper, middle, and lower floors. The seasonings had not been taken back before, and Su Ce also felt that it might be a bit bad for them to be kept in that place for a long time, so he thought about asking about it later. Tantu how to get some new ones.
On the chopping board was Tan Tu's meat cutting tool that came out of the house, and there were actually large and small models. Su Ce took it in his hand and studied it. It seemed to be a kind of sharp bone that had been ground, very hard, and Some are made of iron or unknown materials. It seems that metal has been widely used in this world.
After finally tidying up everything, Tan Tu also shed a little sweat, while Su Ce looked as if he had been fished out of the water, exhausted all over.
But for him, it's worth it to be able to do something within his power.
Tan Tu looked at Su Ce, who was a little pale, and felt distressed.
Ah Ce is willing to plan their kitchen in this way, he is very happy... But exhausting Ah Ce like this made his joy fly away.
It was already dark outside, Su Ce rubbed his forehead, and started to walk outside the door. The feet are a little soft, the legs have no strength, and the arms don't seem to be their own anymore. It really is too much work.
Seeing how weak he was, Tan Tu walked over and put his arms around his waist hesitantly: "Ah Ce, let me carry you up. If you climb the ladder like this now, I will be very worried."
Su Ce was at a loss for Tantu's frank concern. He paused for a moment and put his arm on Tantu's arm: "Help me first, and you can carry me when you get downstairs."
"...Okay." A look of sadness flashed across Tan Tu's face, and then he returned to normal immediately.
The female is unwilling to rely on the male, which means that the male has not yet won the female's heart... Of course, Tantu also understands that some things cannot be rushed.
Ah Ce doesn't believe me, maybe I haven't done enough... He thought so, but one day, Ah Ce will be willing to be with me, and I will make Ah Ce happy.
When they got downstairs, Su Ce stood still. Tantu picked him up, squatted on the ground, jumped up, and then put him down quickly.
Tan Tu swept his eyes and saw the animal skin covered with bath towels. Thinking of the red marks on Su Ce's body that he saw during the day, he immediately understood. The role of animal skins was originally for comfort, but since it can't achieve the effect now, it's better not to have it. So he went over to pick up the bath towel first, pulled out the animal skin and rolled it up in a corner, and then spread the bath towel on the floor: "Ah Ce, let's make it tonight, I'll find a way to get some softer fur over tomorrow. "
As he spoke, he half-supported Su Ce's body, trying to make him lie down as easily as possible, but Su Ce suddenly held him down.
Tan Tu asked him in a low voice, "A Ce, what's the matter?"
Su Ce said, "... take a shower."
The male orc who often forgot that there was such a thing as a bath was stunned.
Su Ce looked up and saw his expression, and immediately understood, frowned slightly, and said, "Tantu, you also need to take a bath."
Tantu immediately showed a big smile: "Ace, do you want to wash with me!"
... If it was on earth, it would be nothing for two men to take a bath together, but it's different here.
Su Ce shook his head immediately: "No, wash them separately."
Tantu was a little disappointed, but not particularly disappointed.
Anyway, sooner or later, we can wash together.
Su Ce really had no strength—even if he wasn't so tired, he still couldn't move such a big wooden bucket and water, so he hesitated for a while and said, "Can you boil some hot water for me?"
Tantu blinked and said happily, "Of course!"
After thinking about it, Su Ce said one more thing just in case: "Don't use the pot where the meat was cooked, use a clean wooden barrel."
Sure enough, Tantu said "haha", grabbed his hair and went down... It seemed that he was really planning to use the pot for cooking meat just now.
Su Ce looked at his back and suddenly felt that he needed to clear up his language.
Not long after, Tan Tu jumped up with two big buckets, one of which was boiling hot water, and the other was half bucket of cold water. He quickly poured it over with his hands and feet, and laughed twice: "A Ce , wash it."
After speaking, he turned his back naturally.
Although Su Ce was satisfied that the other party respected him so much, he was facing another problem now.
The wooden barrel is too high, and there is no wooden ladder to climb up! And he can't jump in...
After waiting for quite a while, Tantu couldn't help but shouted before he heard the movement behind him, "A Ce, A Ce? Are you still okay?"
Then I heard Su Ce's voice: "...Tan Tu, you have to do me a favor."
"I can not get in… "
Su Ce has already taken off his coat, and it feels bad to be naked, but in order to take a bath...
Tan Tu turned around, his eyes were closed.
Seeing him like this, Su Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and put his hand on Tan Tu's arm: "... I'm here."
Immediately afterwards, Tan Tu's hand slowly grabbed Su Ce's hand, then pulled it along his hand, and pressed it on his waist. Compared with ordinary people, the hot touch was like a hot iron on his waist. Su Ce's body froze, and he felt that Tan Tu's other hand followed him, hugging him completely, and lifting him up.
Su Ce touched the side of the barrel: "Tantu, let me in."
Tan Tu did as he said, and kept raising it until Su Ce's feet made the sound of water entering the barrel, and then slowly put him down... When it was finished, he seemed to have experienced a battle , sweating all over. He almost couldn't bear the touch of his hands just now and the smell that was much clearer than usual, but he still held back. He didn't want to scare Ah Ce at all.
Su Ce also heaved a sigh of relief. It felt good to be surrounded by warm water, and it felt very comfortable to be out of Tantu's body.
Tan Tu asked, "A Ce, can I open my eyes?"
"... that's fine."
Su Ce stood in the bucket, with the water up to his shoulders.
After Tantu opened his eyes, he sat cross-legged on the ground and raised his head to talk to him.
The water vapor blurred Su Ce's face, but not his serious tone.
"Tantu, I think, about the future... I have something to tell you."
