No one continued to talk about this topic, and Jiang Xue didn't care whether Wu Lan wanted to leave or not. She gathered everyone together and talked about the work of the past two days.
Since we have to welcome about eighty people from the Fire Tribe and the Bamboo Tribe, the housing problem must be solved.
Jiang Xue suddenly felt that she was very busy.
She has to germinate the late rice seeds, plant the fruit seedlings, build houses, and finally, the hunting team has to ensure the tribe's daily food supply. It is indeed a very tiring task.
"Starting tomorrow, except for the hunting party, everyone else will split into two groups. One group will go to the brickyard to make bricks, and the other group will go to burn charcoal. The more charcoal we have, the better the bricks we can make. Does anyone have any questions?"
"We have no problem, but will they really come?"
"Whether they come over or not, we still have to be fully prepared."
Jiang Xue thought that they should make as many preparations as possible now so that they could help when the people from the Fire Tribe came.
As for the people of the Bamboo Tribe, even if they will not arrive for a month, as long as the tribal houses are built before they arrive, even if they are not built well, all the preparations can be completed, and they will not have to crowd into one cave when they come.
At Jiang Xue's command, everyone in the Snake Tribe began to work overtime to make bricks and tiles.
It was ten days later when the people from the Fire Tribe appeared in the Snake Tribe.
In the past ten days, they have used wheelbarrows to deliver the previously made bricks to the brick kiln.
According to Tiangong Kaiwu, this batch of bricks only needs to be fired for two to three days, and they can be taken out as soon as they cool down completely.
But they certainly can't just sit there idle for the next two days.
Originally, the tribe consisted of more than 130 people. Even if ten people lived in one room, at least ten houses would have to be built.
But Jiang Xue's plan is for the couple to live in one room, so they will need more houses.
The more houses there are, the more bricks are needed.
Now that she had the bricks, Jiang Xue started to worry about the lime.
In modern times, lime is used as an adhesive for brick joints, but here, lime is not yet available, so we can only use mud.
After the people of the Fire Tribe merged in, the original chief of the Fire Tribe was still given to an elder, and the people of the Fire Tribe were managed by them.
Starting from the second day after they arrived, they followed the people of the Snake Tribe to make bricks, charcoal and hunt.
When there are many people, food must be guaranteed.
The Snake Tribe now has a lot of work to do, and it is all hard work, so they need more food.
Jiang Xue naturally couldn't ask them to work on an empty stomach.
Sang Yang returned to the Bashan tribe three days before the people from the Fire Tribe arrived. The reason was simple: he also wanted the people of the Bashan tribe to learn how to make bricks and charcoal, and then build brick houses on his own territory.
Changing the housing of the tribe members is even more necessary for people in coastal tribes like the Bashan people.
They live on rocky islands all year round, and brick and tile houses would be more comfortable facing the severely corrosive sea breeze.
It was the first time Lingya saw someone use mud to make bricks and tiles and then use them to build a house.
This was something that no one, whether from the Fire Tribe, the Snake Tribe, or any other tribe, would have dared to even think about before.
But now, under the leadership of Jiang Xue, their house is about to be built from scratch and they will truly move out of the cave.
It is naturally impossible to build a house in one go. The more thorough the preparatory work is in the early stages, the less trouble there will be in the later stages.
For example, the more bricks and tiles you prepare in the early stages, the more likely you will have leftovers in the later stages rather than having a few missing bricks affect the overall beauty of the house.
Another example is scaffolding.
The scaffolding can be made of wood or bamboo.
But now the people of the Snake Tribe need more wood. After all, they not only use wood to build houses, but also use wood to make doors and windows. There are only seven or eight carpenters in the carpentry group. Even if there are Grass Mama and others to help in their spare time, they have to plan, chop and chisel a piece of wood, and finally splice it together. It is impossible to do it in a short time.
Jiang Xue did not allow them to use a large amount of wood to make scaffolding, but instead used bamboo.
Bamboo is light and more resilient than wood.
It is also easier to carry.
There is strength in numbers. When the Bashan people arrived, their first house had been built and the second house was halfway completed.
The house faces south and is built with red bricks and green tiles. It is square in shape. In order to provide lighting and ventilation for the house, two windows are left on the north and south sides.
When they came over, Jiang Xue had already asked someone to burn charcoal inside to remove the dampness.
Once the moisture inside is almost gone, you can move in.
Seeing the first house rising from the ground, the people of the Snake Tribe became more motivated.
Bricks were piled up in piles and tiles were stacked one by one. The only drawback was that they didn't have lime, so they had to use mud.
All the grass roots, branches, stones and other things on the ground in the house were picked up one by one. Jiang Xue even took Xiaopang and the others to the built house and used wooden paddles to pat the ground firmly and flatten it bit by bit.
With the experience of building houses, the people of the Snake Tribe worked even harder.
The people of the Bashan tribe were jealous and joined this huge project without waiting for Sang Yang's instructions.
Half a month later, the people from the Bamboo Tribe finally arrived under the leadership of the fat man.
Also arriving at the same time were Elder Akagi's Wu Bing and others.
Elder Akagi was stunned as he looked at the dozen or so houses that suddenly appeared, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Snow Witch, I've only been away for a month, and the tribe has even built houses?"
