A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 216 Tiles, Happy Smiling Faces
"Tiles are not much different from firing pottery. They are fired with clay, but the pottery embryos must be fired first, and the circular pottery embryos must be built with clay strips, and then the embryo cylinders are cut into four or six sections to form tiles. , split into tube tiles, and can be fired in a kiln after drying." Jiang Qing said in detail.

She had seen tiles made of cement, arched.The tiles made of cement do not need to be fired.Dry it in the sun and pour water, and it can be used after it is completely dry.

But mud tiles are not good. After the mud tiles are completely dry, they need to be fired in a kiln before they can be used to cover the ridge.

Tile embryos are simpler than pottery embryos, and they can be used even if there are cracks, but you just need to use other tiles to cover them!If she hadn't thought about the rain in summer, she really hadn't thought about the tiles.

After all, in ancient times, most rural people used thatch as tiles and covered the roof to keep out the rain.

However, considering the anomalies in the Beast God Continent, she was worried that thatch would not be useful, and that the tribe needed to dig pottery kilns to make pottery, so she simply fired the tiles together.

"Like pottery?" Lang Mo asked by inference, "Tiles are better than thatch?"

At first, when they learned that Jiang Qing used thatch to cover the roof, they were also worried that it would not keep out the rain.I am even more worried that if there is a storm or a snowstorm, the situation will be even worse!

"Tiles are naturally easier to use than thatch. I didn't think about tiles at first. Now, the tribe wants to make pottery, and tiles are easier to make than pottery. I will explain to Aunt Qing later that it is also okay to ask the elders of the tribe to help. All right..." Jiang Qing said softly.

While chatting, the two had already entered the mountain forest behind the meeting room, which was flat and spacious.In Jiang Qing's eyes, the undulating hillsides not far away have all been transformed into neatly arranged pottery and tiles.

"Is it difficult to make pottery embryos for firing tiles?" Lang Mo asked. In order to build the tribe, not many people in the tribe arranged to go hunting.Fortunately, when we were in the Forest of Death, we were united and hoarded a lot of food. Even if the clan didn't go hunting for a short period of time, they could survive three months safely.

Those who go out to hunt every day are not entirely for hunting, but more for finding what Jiang Qing said.After all, the hoarded food cannot be wasted, and they will not really go out to hunt until the food is consumed.

"It's not difficult." Jiang Qing shook her head. The difficult part is how to dig out the pottery kiln. The pottery kiln is not a one-time item. With the construction of the tribe, the pottery kiln will be used more and more.

The two stayed in the woods for more than half an hour, and finally selected a location for you and Yong to do it. Jiang Qing stood aside and told them how to dig.

The pottery kiln is not difficult to dig, but considering that the tribe now needs a lot of pottery and tiles, Jiang Qing asked the two to dig a larger pottery kiln, and dug out three pottery kilns in a row. .

Both Fang and Yong are not stupid people, Jiang Qing remembered it after saying it once.

According to the gourd painting, three pottery kilns with similar shapes were dug out.

After digging, Jiang Qing asked them to light firewood in the three pottery kilns, intending to sinter the pottery kilns more solidly, and prepare to send the first batch of kneaded pottery embryos in for firing in the evening.

As the meeting house is made of stones, soon the tribal houses will spring up like mushrooms after rain, continuously rising from all over the Taoyuan.Jiang Qing didn't delay. After all, they had too many things to prepare for. It's good to be perfect, but now is not the time to be picky.

Leaving Fang and the two burning the pottery kiln, Jiang Qing was led by Lang Mo back to the meeting room.

However, in less than three hours, the meeting room, which was just a wooden frame, has completely changed at this time. The meeting room made of stones exudes a solemn and steady momentum.

It is about seven or eight meters high, and there are two or three basketball court-sized meeting rooms.

It can only be seen from a distance but not played with!
From a distance, one could vaguely smell the smell of earth, except for the blue-yellow thatch on the roof, the meeting room gave off a majestic and majestic aura.

Not to mention that Jiang Qing lost her mind in shock, even she was as calm as a wolf ink, she was dumbfounded at this moment.

I have seen the majesty of the clan hive, the heavy momentum, like a murderer who is dormant and light sleeping.It is hard to forget at first glance, but now, looking at the house of discussion, Lang Mo and the others, people feel lingering fear. This is the house they will live in in the future.

It feels subtle!
Everyone in the open space gathered around in silence, looking up at the meeting room in shock.

Before, when I saw the wooden frame, I felt very happy and happy to live in such a spacious house.Now, looking at the meeting room in front of them, they felt a little fear.

Can they really live in such a house?
For a moment, everyone looked at Jiang Qing unconsciously.

At this moment, even Da Di and the others who started the construction were silent for a long time, staring blankly at the meeting room.I can't believe that such a majestic house was built by them alone?
"What?" Jiang Qing smiled softly, raised her eyebrows and stepped into the meeting room, reached out her hand to caress the door that was not completely dry, and said with a smile: "Why are you standing there? Come in and have a look..."

The foundation was paved with stones, which was requested by Jiang Qing considering the particularity of the meeting room.As for the other houses, Jiang Qing only explained that the houses used to store the injured need to be paved with stones, and did not require other houses.After all, the number of stones is limited and cannot be used without restraint. Otherwise, I worry that there will be no stones for building stone walls in the houses built later.

Hearing this, Lang Mo took a deep breath, walked over first, and stood by the door with Jiang Qing in his arms.

"From now on, this will be the tribal meeting room, which is used to discuss various matters in the tribe. Everyone come in and have a look. Soon, we will all have such a bright and beautiful house..." Lang Mo raised his hand and pressed it against his left chest .

After the words fell, he raised his head and let out a short wolf howl.

In an instant, everyone responded with deafening cheers.Yan Xian stared at the solemn meeting room, before stepping in, she did not forget to stamp her feet to shake off all the dirt on the rattan shoes, and then stepped into the meeting room.

After entering, there was another sound of inhalation.

Excited, with a look of hesitation, many people still can't believe that they can really live in such a spacious room?Just thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel inferior.

Jiang Qing looked around, swept through the quiet people who dared not move around one by one, and said, "Don't worry, everyone will be able to live in this kind of house in the near future. I have asked Fang Heyong to dig a pottery kiln, and we can do it tonight." Send the clay embryos to the pottery kiln for firing, and later I will teach Aunt Qing how to make tiles. The tiles are stronger than thatch, and in the future, even if it is windy and rainy, or even a storm, we don’t have to worry about the roof collapsing... ..."

Following Jiang Qing's explanation, everyone felt short of breath.I can't wait to build the house immediately, and then cover it with tiles. Thinking about living in such a house, everyone feels that the busy time is worth it!
