Chapter 96 Hui, I’m hungry, let’s barbecue!

It took Su Ran a full month just to prepare the building materials needed to build the house.

After digging out all the entrails of the captured blue worms, Su Ran finally spent another four days burning out the shells.

The method of firing shells is very simple.

Su Ran and Hui dug two big holes in the ground together.

After digging, Su Ran dug diagonally toward the bottom of the pit in the open space on both sides of the pit. This was equivalent to opening several flues at the bottom of the pit, which also made it easier for her to light a fire at the bottom of the pit.

Then she laid the first layer of firewood in the pit.

After laying it out, put a layer of shells on top of the firewood, and then put a layer of firewood on top of the shells, repeating this process until the pit can no longer fit.

Then she lit the firewood from the bottom through several passages on the side, and let the firewood burn upward from the bottom layer.

In fact, the best way to burn shells is that she should get an earth kiln and put the shells in the earth kiln to bake.

But Su Ran had too many shells to burn. If she wanted to burn them all, the earthen kiln she wanted to build would need to be very large.

After her clay kiln is built, it will probably be another month or even two months later.

So she could only use this stupid method to burn the shells for a while longer.

To this end, Su Ran used all the unnecessary branches that had been cleared away when dealing with firewood to burn shells.

She piled each layer of firewood between the shells very thickly, hoping that even if the firewood underneath burned out, there would be enough residual heat to maintain the shells until they finally burned.

During the firing, Su Ran let the two dug pits burn in turn.

In this way, when the second pit is burned, the shells that have just been burned in the first pit can be allowed to cool down by themselves.

When the shells in the first pit are cooled down after being burned and taken out to burn new shells, you can also wait for the shells in the second pit to cool down.

It took Su Ran more than four days to bake these shells.

The burned shells were piled by her on the edge of two large pits lit by fire.

In order to quickly crush these burned shells, Su Ran specially made two stones, one large and one small, and rolled them out, one for herself and Hui.

Then, while waiting for the shells to be fired, she and Hui pushed their stones to grind them on the shells that had been laid on the ground, rolling them back and forth.

After the last pit of shells was burned, Su Ran cleaned up all the shells and burned firewood ashes in the pit.

Then the crushed shells were pushed into the pit with a homemade shovel.

Su Ran's homemade push shovel is somewhat similar to the big plastic shovel used for snow removal in the north in winter.

It is made of a wooden stick directly spliced ​​with a wooden board at one end.

It looks a lot like a capital T.

After using this shovel to get all the shells into the pit, Su Ran began to add water to the pit one by one using wooden buckets.

When the shells that have been burned at high temperatures come into contact with water, a cloud of water mist immediately evaporates.

There were a lot of shells, and the weather was hot now. After a while, the air on the river beach was filled with white smoke.

The white smoke was filled with heat, and Su Ran felt that she was sweating all over in just a few minutes.

Not to mention ashes.

It itself was not heat-resistant, and now it was directly heated by the white mist, so it rushed out quickly and plunged into the river.

It wasn't until Su Ran's whole body was submerged in the river for a long time that she emerged from the water with bubbles amidst the worried shouts.

After it surfaced, it took a long mouthful of water.

After the shells are processed, the construction of the house will officially begin.

Early the next morning, when Su Ran got up and prepared to go hunting, she immediately got up early as well.

After being busy for a month, she was actually a little tired.

But when she thought about the last step away from being able to live in a comfortable and convenient masonry house, the fatigue immediately ran away from her body.

And the current situation does not allow her to be lazy.

As long as the house is not completed in a day, Su Ran will always feel that there is one thing in her heart!

Without a house, her idea of ​​farming and breeding always felt that there was no way to implement it.

Therefore, if the construction is completed one day earlier, she can also carry out other ideas in life earlier.

After Hui Fei flew away, Su Ran also climbed down from the bird's nest tree.

Carrying a backpack with tools on her back, she took a shortcut from the path she had discovered when she was bathing on the riverbank at the bend of the river.

It was six o'clock in the morning, the woods were silent, and most of the orcs had not gotten up to hunt yet.

Su Ran and Hui made a lot of noise on the river beach during this period, and many orcs went to watch out of curiosity.

Then, after understanding what Su Ran wanted to do from Hui's explanation, although they were curious, most of them had no intention of learning from him.

Su Ran guessed that it was because the orcs all had residences and they could build their own residences, so although she was curious about the appearance of the "den" she was going to build, she was just curious.

After all, the orcs have a place to live, so there is no need to follow her and build a new nest with great fanfare.

Su Ran looked at the building materials spread out in front of her and sighed deeply.

She also wanted to have a body as strong and strong as the orcs, so that she would not be afraid of the severe cold in winter and pursue a career that she had never imagined she would do in her life——

Bricklayer…

Moreover, he is a bricklayer with no experience and has only been a bystander at construction sites.

Although Su Ran had never built a house before, she had seen many houses being built in her grandmother's village since she was a child.

So she pretty much knows the process of building a house.

After arriving at the place, Su Ran first went to the river to wash her face, then held a mint leaf with a willow branch, sprinkled some salt powder on it, and brushed her teeth.

After washing, she walked back to the foundation circle marked with wool thread, pulled out the engineer shovel on the other side of the engineer pick, and then started digging the foundation.

As time goes by, the sun rises and the temperature begins to rise.

When Hui came back with the white-headed sheep, Su Ran was already sweating.

She was sitting paralyzed under a tree, breathing heavily, holding a small peach that she had taken a bite out of.

The dead white-headed sheep fell directly in front of Su Ran. When it saw Su Ran's slightly embarrassed look, it quickly dropped the prey in its hands and moved towards Su Ran.

Then Su Ran reached out to stop him: "No, I'm covered in dirt."

Then before Hui had time to put on an aggrieved expression, Su Ran raised her head and looked at it with a pitiful expression: "Hui, I'm hungry, hurry up and barbecue!"
