After dividing the horse meat, Surdak was worried that the meat would go bad if kept for a long time, so he asked three young people who came to help to carry a large basket and divide the horse meat at night. Every household in the village received it.
One serving.
"A salamander's tail can buy so many things?"
The old village chief opened the canvas bag, revealing the dark and shiny iron nails inside, and then looked at the other canvas bags. Obviously, there were many more iron tools than he expected, which made him feel a little incredible. Until finally, he
Then he said with a sigh on his face: "If I had known it could be sold for so much money, I would have bought more cloth and wool, and I would have almost prepared all the supplies for the winter."
"That lizard tail was sold for about three gold coins." Suldak thought for a moment before saying, "If you want to buy wool and cloth, you can't actually buy much."
The old village chief probably also knows the price of cloth and wool. An ordinary piece of wool can easily cost twenty or thirty silver. Three gold coins really can't buy much.
After the old village chief 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 to the roof themselves. But there will never be another incident where the house collapses and kills people under heavy snow. Since there are so many nails, I am ready to add more thatch.
Take out some wood and re-reinforce the old house beams in the village that have been in disrepair for a long time. There is no need to lift the roofs and renovate them, just use wooden boards for simple reinforcement, which shouldn't cost much."
The old village chief has a high prestige in the village. When he said this, the villagers quickly agreed. After all, it was something that was beneficial to every household.
After transporting the iron parts away, the old village chief asked Surdak to go to his house tomorrow. He said that he had built a wall in his yard using volcanic ash mixed with lime according to Surdak's method.
Surdak went to see the effect.
After these matters were dealt with, the old village chief took the people away from Suldak's house. The originally noisy yard suddenly became quiet. Even the twenty-two horses were driven to Beigou Pasture by Charlie and Luke overnight.
.
Little Peter waited for two days and finally got a candy bar with a wrapping paper. Then he followed his mother Natasha back to the house to sleep with satisfaction.
Rita began to clean up the messy yard, salted a large piece of horse meat left by her family, then placed a large piece of horse meat in a wooden basin, covered it with a lid, and pressed it with stones.
Above, just in case little beasts sneak in and eat at night, her figure looks a little rounded, her complexion is not much better recently, and a pot of horse meat can be easily moved to the kitchen counter.
After taking a shower, Surdak, wearing only a linen shirt and trousers, squatted beside the stone mill and scrubbed the blood-stained leather armor.
The water soaked the dried blood on the leather armor. Suldak scrubbed it first and then rinsed it twice with clean water. However, there was still a faint trace of blood seeping out from the dead corners and crevices of the leather armor. After the treatment,
Horse-flesh Rita came over and helped Surdak clean his long riding boots. Rita's hands seemed to possess some kind of magic power and were very flexible. Surdak was still rinsing the leather breastplate repeatedly.
By that time, she had already painted the riding boots.
Rita was wearing a loose linen dress and squatted quietly next to Suldak. Her swollen breasts were pressed by her thighs to show a perfect arc, and her slender legs were also wrapped under the dress.
, showing some youthful heat, but Rita herself didn't notice it at all. She used her wet hands to push the long blond hair at her temples behind her ears.
A piece of toffee wrapped in gold foil was handed to Rita. Rita was slightly startled and was stunned when she looked at the piece of candy.
The sweet milk smell could be clearly smelled through the gold foil paper. Rita did not move. Suldak thought she didn't like sweets, so he asked with some confusion: "Why, don't you like sweets?"
Rita had come to her senses at this time, and wiped her wet hands casually on the linen dress. She took the candy with a red face, peeled off the candy wrapper and took out the candy filled with fragrant milk flavor.
Putting it into her mouth, her lips were bright red and soft.
The moment the toffee entered her mouth, Rita's eyes narrowed into crescents, and the feeling of satisfaction was the joy from the bottom of her heart.
Surdak turned over the magic waist bag on his body and took out a bunch of red apples. He smiled at Rita and said, "I also brought back some apples..."
"..."
…
The crispy scones were stuffed with some minced horse meat, which made Suldak think that this breakfast tasted like donkey meat on fire. It was a pity that there was no polenta paste, but I had a bowl without cassava.
Here comes the sweet chestnut rice porridge. This breakfast makes him feel the taste that he has not seen for a long time.
‘We should kill all those twenty horses.’ Suldak took a bite of the fragrant scones and thought to himself.
The old village chief's house is at the uppermost reaches of the river.
In fact, the village chief has always been responsible for guarding the water source in the village. This is also the tradition of Wall Village.
Suldak, Charlie and the old village chief had been standing by a section of the cement wall since morning.
The old village chief asked the bricklayers in the village to mix cement with volcanic ash and lime powder and build a low wall in his yard. In two days, the low wall was almost dry, but the gray low wall did not.
Surdak said it was so strong, but when he broke the wall with his hands, a large piece of cement fell off. Cement with this strength was not what Surdak wanted.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, the old village chief coughed dryly and said:
"In general, it is stronger than a wall made of limestone. The volcanic ash in Pudu Mountain is everywhere. It is very convenient to transport it back and mix it with lime powder for use."
Suldak thought for a while and then said to Charlie beside him: "Charlie, help me get a ladle of water."
Charlie turned around and left, and soon he brought a basin of water.
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 see again in a few days. If there is still only
With such intensity, the only solution is to dig a large reservoir."
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. Suldak took out a piece of parchment from his arms, with a few strokes on it.
After sketching out the general landform of the Volcun ravine, Surdak used a charcoal pencil to draw a section of the dam horizontally near the spring in the upper reaches of the ravine.
He said to the old village chief: "I would like to ask the villagers to build a dam upstream of the village, so that the village will have a large reservoir. Even if it enters the dry season, the land in the village can be fully irrigated. In addition, when the rainy season comes,
Later, by storing water in the reservoir, we can also ensure that this river will not suffer major floods. The general plan is like this..."
