Marry a Wife In the Orc World - Chapter 24

When building a house, you must always choose a good day. If it rains, it is very troublesome. So True has been asking the most prestigious elders in the village to help calculate the climate these days. Knowing that it won’t rain for a while, Cheng Cheng hastily decided to start building a house.

The day when the work was officially started was really good weather. After sweeping away the cold and warm sun in recent days, Truu got up early in the morning. Among the four clay pots in the family, except for one that was prescribed by Cheng Cheng to boil water, mainly Cheng Cheng drinks boiled water every day (the pottery pot that has been boiled in broth will always be a little oily when it comes to boiling water, so Cheng Cheng stipulates a pottery pot for boiling water.) He is not used to drinking raw water directly. Under his influence, Blue Sky Tru and Batu both began to drink boiled water. The other three big earthenware pots, Trullo, are all boiled with broth. This time, they have enough meat, and there is less wild vegetables, because the people who help build the house are all orcs, and everyone loves to eat meat. . In addition to the broth, a few large pieces of meat were grilled. The orcs who had been invited in advance came early under the leadership of Lan Hua, and even the patriarch came. If it weren’t for everyone’s busyness, it is estimated that there would be more people watching the excitement. The whole village is very concerned about the new house Cheng Cheng wants to build. It’s just that everyone is too busy to spare time for the time being.

After eating a hearty breakfast, the patriarch made a simple ceremony, which can be regarded as a groundbreaking ceremony. Cheng Cheng instructed everyone to plant the thickest bamboo according to the line he had drawn in advance. This is a bit like piling in a modern house. The foundation is not strong, but it won’t work. First, the frame is built. Most modern houses use bamboo as scaffolding. One of the main reasons is that bamboo is cheap, durable, and not easy to rot. Furthermore, bamboo is very tough and not easy to burn. Cheng Cheng thought of these two points when he built a house with bamboo. If he designed it in advance, the house built in this way can still be used for several years. It’s not like the kind of house where the orcs currently live, which needs to be maintained every year.

Soon all the thick bamboos on the ground were used up. One by one stood upright in the sun like a sentry. This is the skeleton of the house, and then tie some bamboos to the skeleton horizontally so that all the bamboos are connected to each other. This can be regarded as the muscles of the house. With the skeleton and the ribs, the frame of the house appeared. Although most people still don’t understand, Cheng Cheng is still very satisfied. It seems that this is feasible. Previously, he had been worried about not building the house well.

The thin bamboos tied into rows of straw ropes were inserted into the finished frame, and walls appeared side by side. At this time, most people began to think that the house was really well built. Seeing Cheng Cheng’s gaze became more enthusiastic unconsciously. It’s just that Cheng Cheng doesn’t care much about the eyes of others. What’s more, the one he has dealt with most orcs here is Lan Hua. Although Lan Hua has been very good to him, he does not admit that he is a female in his heart. It can be said that he is fundamentally I didn’t realize the difference between my roots in this place.

With four walls, the house looks somewhat shaped. Then spread the mud that has been stepped on the wall. This is a relatively simple task, but it is very important, because if the mud is not good, it will let the air through. In fact, the best thing is to add the same wall to this wall, but that would require too much material and effort, and Cheng Cheng didn’t think of this beforehand. The muddy wall must be left for a few days to let it dry.

Cheng Cheng asked the orcs to go home and do their homework, and the mud would dry out for at least three days. During these three days, Cheng Cheng had to prepare something for himself. He went to cut some brown leaves and came back. Originally, the roof was intended to be covered with two layers of straw mats and another layer of brown mats. Put a layer of dry palm leaves and cover it with a mat. In this way, it will not only be more rainproof but also cleaner. Anyway, the palm leaves can’t be used up too much. It can be spread thicker, but it’s a bit more troublesome. After paved, you have to tie rows of ropes to tie them tightly to the bamboo skeleton of the roof, and then cover them. Put on the mat that has been woven, and the whole roof will be stronger and warmer.

After three days, the surface of the mud was already dry, but the weather worsened, it became more and more cold, and there were faint signs of a blizzard. Cheng Cheng couldn’t wait to let them dry out, so he had to speed up his footwork and get the roof up first. Say it again. A house, in addition to the foundation is very important, the roof is also very important, so modern people will set off firecrackers and entertain guests when they build a house, they will also hang red cloth on the roof beams, and some people will do some rituals. . It is impossible for Cheng Cheng to do these things now, but he is also very worried, afraid that the roof will rarely succeed.

The house designed by Cheng Cheng is the most common rectangular house in rural areas with a ridge in the middle. The roof is also made of bamboo skeletons, the highest in the middle, and the two sides slowly **** down. It is a typical sloping roof, like the tiles nailed in a modern house. The rows of thin bamboos are all done by the orcs flying up in the air, and Cheng Cheng is only directing them from the ground. The roof was tied up, and the walls on all sides were almost dry. Standing in the house, people immediately felt much warmer. Although the roof has not been sealed, the whole house is half completed. People in the village began to come and watch one after another, commenting on the huge bamboo house.

“It’s so big and so tall. It’s so beautiful.” Someone said.

“It would be great if I had such a beautiful house.” There are also people who are envious, and some even started to surround Cheng Cheng, wanting him to help his own house build such a house next year. After all, this house looks better than his own. Much more comfortable.

Some people said in a sour tone: “It’s a bit too much to build such a big house.” Cheng Cheng felt ashamed when he heard that. But just this house, he shrunk and then shrunk again. You have to know that this is a small house in modern society, okay? But I have to say that this house is placed in this place, it is considered a mansion. It is said that I couldn’t live in a mansion before, and it was so easy to build a mansion in this place. Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but laugh.

Spread palm leaves and then a whole mat. There are three sheets in total. The ones made by Truu are placed at the bottom, because his handwork is rougher, and the ones with blue sky are made more finely. They are placed in the middle. Above is the brown silk mat knitted by Cheng Cheng. It is said that it is a mat, in fact, it is like a whole piece of thick cloth, which is still very beautiful when used to cover the roof. And because they are in one piece, as long as they are fixed, the wind will not blow them away. Unlike the grass roofs covered with scattered grass, the grass will be blown around by the strong wind. As soon as the mat was displayed, everyone was even more surprised. Unexpectedly, the original straw was woven into a mat. The use was immediately enlarged many times. Although everyone kept covering the grass on the roof, everyone’s weaving skills were too poor and they were all indiscriminately. They are tied together, how can they be so neat and beautiful and thick. Not to mention that it is covered on the roof. It can be used as a bed even if it is placed at home. Although it is not softer and warmer than animal skins, it is bigger. In fact, when making up, Cheng Chengcheng thought of making up a few more bed-sized straw mats to use as a bed. Without a bed, it’s really unaccustomed to sleep directly on the ground, it’s cold and damp.

Cheng Cheng was afraid that the mud walls would not be used. When designing the house, he left about half a meter wide edges around the house so that rainwater on the roof would not directly wet the mud walls when it fell along the roof. Falling on the surrounding open space, and then digging a little trench here, the water will be directly drained away, and there will be no flooding here, and the foundation of the house will not be so wet.

After more than half a month, their new home was basically completed in a sudden gust of wind. Seeing it was going to snow, I simply cleaned up and moved into a new house before the first snow in winter. When building a house, the food was consumed very quickly. The meat stocked in the house was basically eaten up. Only some scattered pieces of meat and various dried wild vegetables were left. Some grapefruits and some recently picked up by Batu were left. The fresh mushrooms came back, and these things are not enough for them to eat for ten days.

Lan Lan got a room, which was a storage room. The storage room was originally larger than Cheng Cheng’s bedroom, but Cheng Cheng was divided into two small rooms. Originally, he wanted to keep one as a storage room. One for the blue sky to live in. But as soon as Lantian moved over, he not only moved all his belongings, but also Lan Hua, so Lan Hua had to sleep in the storage room.

Lan Hua stood outside the house embarrassedly and said, “I’m causing you trouble. Why don’t I go back and live alone?” Lan Hua smiled and tidyed up his own room. Cheng Cheng had to greet Lan Hua: “The storage room is empty anyway, how can you live back alone?” He didn’t say another sentence, and moved all the belongings over. Why should I go back? This big orc seldom talks, most of the time he is working hard. This time he has done a lot to build the house, so he often helps them. How can Cheng Cheng let him go home and live alone? .

There was nothing in the storage room, although it was the smallest room in the whole house, there was still enough space for sleeping. However, the food brought by the Lan family was still a lot. Cheng Cheng had to put all these things in his own room. Although Cheng Cheng didn’t like to put a lot of meat directly in his room, he couldn’t. Who made his room the largest now? The Lantian brothers divided the original storage room into two, which was much smaller than the normal room. But Tru and Batu originally shared a room with them, so it’s hard to put everything in their room. It was still the largest room in Cheng Cheng, so Cheng Cheng didn’t know what it was like when he watched the heap of meat occupying half of the corner of the room. Fortunately, it was very cold at this time, and there would not be too much smell, otherwise he would not know if he could still sleep in this room.
