Chapter 250 249. Village construction plan
After Suldak cut up the horse meat, he was worried that the meat would spoil if left for a long time, so he asked three young men who came to help to carry the big baskets, and divided the horse meat at night, and every villager got his share one serving.
"A salamander's tail can exchange for so many things?"
The old village head opened the canvas pocket, revealing the dark and shiny iron nails inside, and then looked at the other canvas pockets. It was obvious that there were much more iron objects than he expected, which made him feel a little unbelievable. Until the end, he Only then said with a sigh: "If I knew I could sell it for so much money, I would have traded in some more cloth and wool. The winter supplies are almost ready."
"That lizard tail sold for about three gold coins." Suldak thought for a while before saying, "If you want to buy wool and cloth, you can't actually buy much."
The old village head probably knows the price of cloth and wool. A piece of ordinary wool can easily cost 20 or 30 silver. Three gold coins really can’t buy much.
After the old village head moved these iron parts back to the village’s public warehouse by category, he gave instructions to the villagers who helped carry the iron parts:
"Tomorrow, we will re-check the strength of the doors, windows and roof beams of each house in the village. Let them add thatch on the roof, but there must be no such thing as a house collapsing and killing people under heavy snow. Now that there are so many nails, I am going to do it again." Take out some wood and re-strengthen the old house beams in the village that have been in disrepair for a long time, you don’t need to lift the roof to renovate, just use wooden boards for simple reinforcement, it shouldn’t take much trouble.”
The old village head has a high prestige in the village. When he said this, the villagers quickly agreed to it. After all, it is something that is beneficial to every household.
After transporting those iron parts away, the old village chief asked Suerdak to visit his house tomorrow. He said that according to Suerdak's method, he built a wall with volcanic ash mixed with lime in his yard. Suldak went to see the effect.
After these matters were dealt with, the old village head took people away from Suerdak's house, and the originally noisy courtyard fell silent, and even twenty-two horses were driven to the Beigou pasture overnight by Charlie and Luke. .
Little Peter looked forward to it for two days, and finally got a piece of candy with a wrapping paper. Only then did he follow his mother Natasha back to the house to sleep contentedly.
Rita began to tidy up the messy yard and salted a large piece of horse meat left by her family. Then she put a large piece of horse meat in a wooden basin, covered it, and pressed it with stones. Above, in case little animals sneak in to eat at night, her figure looks a bit round, and her complexion is not much better than before. A pot of horse meat can be easily moved to the kitchen counter.
After taking a shower, Suldak, wearing only a linen shirt and trousers, squatted next to the stone mill and scrubbed the blood-stained leather armor.
The water soaked away the dried blood on the leather armor. Suldak scrubbed it once, and then rinsed it twice with clean water, but there was still faint blood seeping out from the dead corners and crevices of the leather armor. After processing the horse meat, Rita came over and helped Suldak clean his long riding boots. Rita's hands seemed to have some kind of magical power and were very flexible. Suldak was still washing the leather chest repeatedly. By the time she was in armor, she had already polished the riding boots.
Rita was wearing a loose linen dress, squatting quietly beside Suldak, her bulging and plump **** showed a perfect arc under the backlog of her thighs, and a pair of slender legs were also wrapped under the dress , showing some youthful heat, but Rita didn't notice it at all. She used her wet hands to push the long golden hair at the temples behind her ears.
A piece of toffee wrapped in gold leaf paper was handed to Rita. Rita was slightly startled, and stared at the piece of candy.
The sweet milk smell can be clearly smelled through the gold foil paper, Rita didn't move, Suldak thought she didn't like sweets, and asked with some doubts: "Why, don't you like sugar?"
When the toffee entered the mouth, Rita's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and that sense of satisfaction was joy from the bottom of her heart.
Suldak turned over the magic pocket on his body, took out a pile of red apples, smiled at Rita and said, "I brought back some apples..."
"..."
…
There is some chopped horse meat in the crispy scones, which makes Suldak feel that this breakfast has a taste of donkey meat on fire. Unfortunately, there is no corn mush, but a bowl of cassava-free The sweet chestnut rice porridge came, and this breakfast made him feel the taste that he had not seen for a long time.
‘Then all the twenty or so horses should be killed. ’ Suldak thought to himself as he took a bite of the delicious scone.
The home of the old village chief is at the uppermost stream of the river.
In fact, the village head has always been responsible for taking care of the water sources in the village, which is also the tradition of Wall Village.
Suldak, Charlie, and the old village head had been standing by a section of the concrete wall since the morning.
The old village head asked the bricklayer in the village to mix cement with volcanic ash and lime powder to build a section of low wall in his yard. This section of low wall was almost dry in two days, but this section of gray low wall was not damaged. Suldak said it was so strong, but a large piece of cement fell off just by breaking the wall with his hands. The cement of this strength was not what Suldak wanted.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, the old village head coughed dryly and said:
"In general, it is stronger than a wall made of limestone. There are volcanic ash everywhere in the pustule mountain area. It is also very convenient to transport them back and mix them with lime powder."
Suldak thought for a while, and then said to Charlie beside him, "Charlie, bring me a ladle of water."
Charlie turned around and left, and a basin of water was brought in after a while.
Suldak poured all the water on the low wall, and then said to Charlie: "Help me pour water on this low wall every morning and evening, let's come back in a few days, if there is still only With such an intensity, we can only find a way to dig a large reservoir out.”
Everyone sat down around a square table in the yard of the old village chief’s house. The old village chief’s wife brought out a pot of lemon tea, and Suldak took out a piece of parchment from his arms. Outlined the general landform of the valley in Wall Village, and near the spring in the upper valley, Suerdak drew a section of the dam horizontally with a charcoal pencil.
He said to the old village chief: "I want to ask the villagers to build a dam upstream of the village, so that the village will have a large reservoir, even in the dry season, the land in the village can be fully irrigated, and when the rainy season comes After that, storing water in the reservoir can also ensure that this river will not be flooded, and the general plan is like this..."
