Chapter 134 Bamboo Fence (seeking subscription for monthly ticket)
After breakfast, everyone started to work. The place to be cleaned up today is the place where the house will be built.

It's too late before the Chinese New Year, and it's impossible for other craftsmen who celebrate the Chinese New Year to come here.

But they can tidy up the place first, and then fence up the tidied up place, so that they can live in peace of mind before the house is built.

It was still the same as yesterday's division of labor. Everyone worked until the afternoon, and the area was much larger than yesterday, with almost a dozen acres cleaned up.

The crooked trees were also cut down, and even the roots were dug out.

Although this tree is not mature, some grow very thick, some are as thick as a man's waist, and some are as thick as a wooden basin.

After digging out, directly cut off the root part of the tree below, leaving half a person's height, which can be used as a table and stool.

Save everyone sitting on the ground all the time.

After all, it was winter, and it was chilly even with straw mats.

After weeding this time, we didn't bundle them into bundles like before, because we had to clean up the open space for everyone to camp.

This time, after the grass was cut, it was spread out on the ground and dried in the sun. Later, it can be used for weaving grass mats or burning fire.

And those thin parts of the tree are split into joints, and they are used as firewood after being dried there.

Today is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still four or five days before the Chinese New Year.

Everyone knows that this year must be spent in a tent. After all, even if the house is started now, it will not be built in a few months. It is not one or two rooms, but dozens of small courtyards. .

But even so, they decided to get some bamboo or stones first, and enclose the [-] acres of land where the house will be built in the future.

This is tantamount to surrounding the village with a wall, even if the wall is not high or thick, there is still a sense of security.

At least it can block some prying eyes, and warn people that this is a private site.

As for the fields, it would not be too late to open up wasteland and cultivate them in the spring of next year.

It was already late afternoon after cleaning up the dozen or so acres.

Taking advantage of the dawn, everyone led Xiaoling, Liuliu and Huihui, the little gray donkey, into the mountain from the slope not far from the side.

Xiao Ling recited the formula of driving snakes all the way, and everyone followed suit.

Although everyone has already learned it, they still feel that it is better to take Xiaoling with them, because they are afraid that they will forget.

And Xiao Ling is flying in the air, so if there is any danger, you can give an early warning.

Liuliu has a high force value, if he encounters any wild beasts, he has to rely on Liuliu to protect them.

As for the little gray donkey, Liuliu had to take it with him.Everyone thought that she was the daughter-in-law that Liuliu liked after all, and she must not be an ordinary donkey, so they let him follow.

The rest of the women and old people were not idle, taking the children to pick up stones.

It is to pick up on the edge of the mountain wall, and move the moderately sized ones directly to the open space not far away.

Give it a knock on the big pieces and break them into small pieces.If it is particularly large, burn it with fire, and it will explode as soon as it is poured with water.

Jiayin couldn't take her eyes off her eyes. She didn't know what the reason was. She thought it was miraculous that such a large stone could be turned into small pieces without much effort by lighting a fire.

The stones were collected to surround the pool. When the collection was almost done, the men came back and built the stones with some grass mud to form a wall.

The area of ​​this pool is not large, only a few dozen feet wide. Everyone saw the water flowing down from above, but it was not full, and thought that the pool should be quite deep.

Of course, they couldn't see that there was a water outlet connected to the underground river below, so they thought that the pool might be bottomless.Therefore, it is even more urgent to enclose the pool first, so as to prevent the children from falling inadvertently.

There are not many stones next to the mountain wall, but it should be more than enough to surround the pool.

In the future, when the fence is built in the village, we must still go to the mountain to pick up stones.

Unlike the loess in the north, which can be used to make adobe, they also found that most of the villages here are made of stone.Green bricks are used in the county town, and there is basically no adobe.

It may be that the weather here is too humid, making adobe is not easy to dry, and once there is heavy rain or water, the adobe house will probably be the first to collapse.Stone is much stronger.

On the contrary, most of the roofs are thatched roofs, or stone slabs are used to build the roof, which feels the same as tiles.

It is said that in the mountains here, there is a special kind of stone slab that can be used to make tiles. The slate is thin, and the layers can be separated from the middle, just like the pages of a book.

This kind of slate can not only be used as tiles, but also can be laid on the ground.

On the small road they came from the county town before, a section of the road was paved with that kind of stone slabs.

The pavement is neat, even if some places have been cracked by the car, it is still very solid and will not move like a stone.

They decided to search nearby. If there were such stone slabs, they could pick up more.

After the house is built, it can be paved in the yard or on the road in the village.In this way, even if it rains, it will not be muddy, and it will look beautiful.

Before dark, the men were back.

Liuliu and Huihui carried a lot of long bamboo on both sides, and the men also carried a bunch of them.

Jiayin saw them going to the bamboo forest before, so she brought over a dozen pheasants from a distance and threw them in the bamboo forest. Now they have all gone into their back baskets.

Looking at the pheasant in the back basket, Jiayin rolled her eyes, and threw the pointed thing she took last time into Fang Youwei's back basket.

Fang Youwei didn't pay attention, and directly handed over the basket to Fang, and went to tidy up the bamboo with everyone.

They are going to use bamboo as a skeleton to enclose the [-] acres of land.Then tie the grass into a curtain and tie it to the bamboo, so that it cannot be seen from the outside.Although it can't block anything, at least there is some sense of security, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside.

Otherwise, the pedestrians and vehicles that occasionally come and go on the country road during the day, everyone would subconsciously look this way, and they would be very awkward.

Although there is still some distance from the country road here, it can't stand the emptiness here, and you can see it at a glance.

Just do it, cut the slightly thicker bamboo into one foot long, dig a small ditch at the position measured by the government servants before, stick about a foot into the ditch and bury it fixed, and then bury one half a foot or so.

After it has been buried for about two feet, use two thin bamboos in the middle to clamp and tie it from both sides, so that it will not wobble.

On the cooking side, Mrs. Li and the others happily took out the pheasant to clean up, and of course they also found the thing in the back basket.

Fang Yun looked at it and said: "Oh, why did you just dig up one? This stewed chicken with winter bamboo shoots is the best. If you dig more, everyone can share more vegetables."

Everyone looked at her curiously, and said in a hurry: "This is the winter bamboo shoot you mentioned, how can you eat this dark one?"

"Yes, yes! This looks like a small tower."

"I look like a mallet! Hahaha..."
