The stone house has two floors. There are six rooms on the second floor, one for each of the cubs and one for her and Long Mo.
There are two warehouses for storing supplies on the first floor, as well as a large living room connected to the backyard.
Considering the problem of oil fume exhaust, Hu Jiaojiao separated the kitchen and the stone house and built them in the backyard. There is no range hood here. Even if a chimney was built, there would be a lot of dirty oil on the walls of the house over time.
She doesn't want to live in a greasy house in the future.
The backyard was empty, and worried that two warehouses would not be enough, Hu Jiaojiao asked Hou Xiaotiao to build two more warehouses in the backyard.
After all, the winter here lasts for six months, so we need to stock up on more supplies.
A warehouse for storing food is next to the kitchen, and there is a door connecting it. In this way, she will not have to worry about being seen by the orcs outside when taking things from the space in the future.
There is one warehouse for animal hides and one for charcoal, and another warehouse for backup.
As for why animal hides also need a warehouse...
After discovering that Long Mo liked to kick orcs into the river, Hu Jiaojiao discovered his second habit.
Collecting animal skins.
During this period, Long Mo was able to harvest at least two or three animal skins every day. There were more than thirty animal skins piled up at home, and her cabin was almost so crowded that there was no place to sleep.
"Hu Jiaojiao, check if there is anything that is not done well. If there is, we will correct it now."
Monkey Xiaotiao said as he took Fox Jiaojiao to check the stone house.
Afraid that I didn't do something right.
"You did a great job. The stone house is both sturdy and beautiful. Hou Xiaotiao, thank you so much for your help." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head and thanked sincerely.
The beast world, with its scarcity of supplies and lack of machines, is similar to the rural areas of the past. No matter what you do, you need mutual help among the tribesmen and neighbors.
Without their help, it would take who knows when the stone house would be built.
"You're welcome. This is what we should do, and..." Hou Xiaotiao scratched his head embarrassedly.
"And during this period, Long Mo made great efforts. Thanks to him, it was completed so quickly."
He did not dare to take credit for it and explained Long Mo's contribution honestly.
"Dragon Ink..."
When she heard the name, Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but think of the exciting and ambiguous scene that day.
"Yeah, we just found out that Long Mo is not weak at all and is very good at work."
Hou Xiaotiao nodded, looking angry.
"I really don't know who started calling Long Mo a waste. If waste is this powerful, I might as well be a waste."
Hu Jiaojiao glanced at him and didn't say anything.
When Long Mo first came to the tribe, his strength was indeed very weak.
But in the past few years living in the forest, he has struggled between life and death, living on the edge of a knife every day, with strong obsession and hatred. As long as such an orc does not die, his strength will only become stronger.
His strength was earned by fighting for his life time and time again, and licking his wounds alone in the dark cave.
Naturally, it is different from the orcs who live a stable life in the tribe.
The two checked every corner of the stone house and found no problems. Only then did Hu Jiaojiao gratefully send Hou Xiaotiao and the others away.
Several orcs were very excited. They all had partners, and now they could go back and build stone houses for their partners.
After seeing them off, Hu Jiaojiao found that the five cubs were standing outside the stone house.
Except for Long Xiu, the four cubs opened their eyes wide and looked at the stone house with anticipation, as if they saw happiness waving to them.
"Is this our new house? It's so big and beautiful..." There seemed to be stars twinkling in Long Linger's bright eyes, and her sweet voice was full of joy.
Females are naturally craving for new things.
"Yes, this is our new house. All of us animals will live here from now on." Fox Jiaojiao walked out of the stone house and answered with gentle eyes.
The stone house has no decoration, just ordinary bluestone walls, which look clean and tidy and polished very smoothly.
It looks like the oldest house in a quaint town in a TV show.
Even so, she was still extremely beautiful in Long Linger's eyes.
The little girl's smile was so innocent that the word "happy" was almost written on her face.
"The stone house is finally built." A rare hint of joy appeared on Long Yu's stern little face.
Long Zhong nodded in agreement, "Yeah, if we move into the new house, we won't have to live with Dad anymore."
God knows how they managed to get through this period of time.
Daddy doesn't even treat them as his own kids.
They practiced until midnight every day and trained their hunting skills. Thanks to their father, he and his older brothers have become proficient in switching between animal forms.
Long Yao stood in front of the cubs, twisting his little triangular tail and drooling at the stone house.
"The new house is ready, the little rabbit can eat it now..."
Four kids: “…”
Is there any connection between the two
"You can't eat the little rabbit yet. You have to save it for giving birth to little rabbits." Fox Jiaojiao touched the little guy's head in a funny way, stopping his thoughts.
"Xiao Wu, what does the new house have to do with eating rabbits?" Long Linger asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"That's what my mother said!"
Long Yao pointed at Hu Jiaojiao with his little finger.
Hu Jiaojiao was confused. When did she say that she would eat rabbits once the house was built
Just as I was wondering, I heard Long Yao's soft and sticky voice said seriously:
"Mother said that she would prepare delicious food once the new house is built. Little Rabbit is very good at eating duck."
So, delicious food equals little rabbit.
No problem~
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
Her son Long Yao has a really unique way of thinking.
The corners of Long Zhong's mouth twitched. He really wanted to open this stupid dragon's brain and see what was inside.
"Mom, aren't you going to make something delicious today?" Long Yao tilted his head, not understanding why everyone was silent.
Could it be that Xiaowu was wrong
Hu Jiaojiao then remembered that she had indeed said that she would hold a housewarming party after the new house was built.
At that time, Long Yao asked her what a housewarming party was, and her answer was to prepare a table full of delicious food and invite her grandparents and uncles to the new home for a meal.
It turns out that this little guy has been thinking about this all the time.
"Of course I will, but I won't eat the little rabbit today." Fox Jiaojiao smiled helplessly.
"Then when are we going to move in?" Long Zhong asked impatiently.
Long Yu and Long Xiu also looked at Hu Jiaojiao.
They didn't want to sleep in the cabin for a night.
"We'll move today. Go choose a room first, then go back and pack your things and put them in your room."
"We'll live in a new house from now on!"
Foxy waved her delicate hand, and the five cubs scattered like birds and beasts, quickly running back to the cabin to pack up their things.
They didn't have much to pack. Their only belongings were two sets of animal skin clothes, two pairs of shoes, and a slingshot that Hu Jiaojiao had made for them.
The five cubs had no requirements for the rooms and did not fight over them. They consciously gave the room with the best light to Long Linger, and occupied the remaining four rooms in order of size.
