The appearance of sleds meant that the transportation of stones was no longer a problem that restricted the construction of bathhouses. Once this problem was solved, the construction of bathhouses became rapid.

Some witches who were losing their hair squatted in the carpenter's room specially used by Bo, watching Bo carefully as he made the third sled. Then they used a thin and sharp stone knife to draw the shape of the sled on the pottery plate as neatly as possible, and wrote down the detailed manufacturing process in Chinese characters below.

The sled, a tool that can transport a lot of things at once, is highly valued by witches.

For this reason, he recorded it personally and did not let the stone do it.

Shang, who was loading stones onto the sled, no longer had the contempt he had before. The sled, which refreshed his three perspectives, made him think of more things.

If I had this deer-pulled sled at the beginning, the enemy who had attacked my tribe would not have been able to retreat so calmly and might have been caught up by my men.

The children in the tribe were also running around following the sleds, and they didn't even play their favorite activities of making snowmen and having snowball fights.

None of those things are as fun as sitting on an empty sled and being pulled all the way to the quarry by deer.

If you want the bath to be warm, there are several necessary conditions. First, it must be well enclosed. Second, the space inside should be as small as possible. Third, there must be hot water.

The fourth, and most important, is to use fire.

The so-called fire channel is actually similar in principle to the kang built in the tribal rooms, except that its location is different.

The kang in the room was built tall, large and spacious, but the fire channel in the bath was not.

They were built on higher ground, only 30 centimeters wide, covered with stone slabs, and cement made from wood ash acted as an adhesive, which could effectively prevent water from entering the fire channel.

When taking a bath, burn some wood in the fire channel outside the bathtub. After a while, the bathtub will become warm.

The bathhouse was not just for Han Cheng, but for everyone in the tribe to bathe in, so it was built quite large, with an area almost as large as four houses.

This bathhouse is roughly divided into three parts, two large and one small.

The small part is only the area of ​​half a house, and the two large parts divide the remaining three and a half houses equally.

The part that is only half the size of the house is the single room that Han Cheng planned for himself, and the two large ones are the large pools shared by the Qingque tribe.

Because the area of ​​the bathhouse is relatively large, it is impossible to heat up the entire bathhouse by burning fire from only one place. Therefore, when planning it, Han Cheng designed five fire holes, one for his single room and two for each of the two public baths. This way, the heating problem can be solved well.

After two more heavy snowfalls, the bathhouse that the Qingque tribe had started building this winter has been completed.

This is the advantage of having a large population. If the population was the same as when Han Cheng first arrived, even with deer and sleds, it would be impossible to complete the project in such a short time.

The entire bath is built with stones and the ceiling is covered with tiles.

There is no need to worry about the cement in the bathtub freezing due to the cold weather, because Han Cheng had someone light a fire inside when building it.

Looking at the bathhouse that took nearly a month to complete, Han Cheng rubbed his hands.

He immediately gave an order to boil hot water on a large scale today, and everyone in the tribe took a bath in the newly built bathhouse here.

Everyone has worked hard for so long, it's time to enjoy themselves.

All five burners were burning brightly. The orange-red flames mixed with smoke ran a long way along the fire path. In the end, only the smoke floated along the tall, upright chimneys into the sky covered with a layer of leaden clouds.

The raised fire channel emits heat, indirectly warming the small enclosed space.

“Puff…”

The heavy leather curtain blocking the bath door was lowered, blocking out the cold air from outside.

Han Cheng couldn't wait to get into the single room, pulling Bai Xue's sister. He quickly took off his clothes and stuffed them into a stone grid against the wall.

He changed into flip-flops made of wood and leather ropes and went to the side of the room where there was a large tank of steaming hot water.

He reached out his hand and tentatively poured hot water over himself.

Han Cheng shivered comfortably when his chilly body came into contact with the hot water.

Turning around to see that Sister Bai Xue was also naked, he walked over and blocked the clothes compartment with a piece of animal skin, and pulled the little child bride who was also wearing flip-flops to the large vat of hot water.

Sister Bai Xue has been living in the Qingque tribe for nearly a year. Following Han Cheng, who loves cleanliness the most, she has long developed the habit of taking a bath.

Seeing that most of the vat was filled with steaming water, he couldn't resist the urge to go in, but Han Cheng quickly stopped him.

Today he specifically asked someone to boil the water. If Sister Bai Xue went in like this, she would definitely be scalded and could not bear it.

Han Cheng hugged her away, picked up the ceramic bowl in the big vat, scooped water and poured it on the two of them.

Then they shivered together.

After a while, he began to tentatively enter.

"call!"

Han Cheng leaned against the wall of the tank and let out a comfortable breath.

Because of him and Sister Bai Xue's coming in, the water level rose and just reached his neck. His whole body was wrapped in the hot water, it was so comfortable.

Just for this reason, Han Cheng felt that it was well worth the effort to build this bath.

When Bai Xuemei, who was wet and slippery, dived into the water like a little mermaid, she held Han Cheng's legs with her arms to prevent herself from floating up.

Feeling another kind of warmth, Han Cheng squinted his eyes comfortably.

The bathtub that took so much effort to build certainly has more functions than just these. After soaking in the bathtub for a while, Han Cheng, who felt all his bones were loose, half hugged and half embraced his child bride, came out of the bathtub and came to the place near the door.

This place is only separated from the fire mouth outside by a wall and is the hottest place in the entire fire channel. A small space with an area of ​​less than two square meters is built here with stones.

Han Cheng brought in Bai Xuemei with a bowl of hot water and poured half of it onto a thick stone slab on the fire path. With a hissing sound, a large amount of white steam with a very high temperature immediately rose up.

Another half bowl of water was poured down, and the whole space was filled with white water vapor. The temperature rose rapidly, just like a fairyland.

Sister Bai Xue had never experienced anything like this before. She hugged Han Cheng's arm tightly, and her two well-sized pectoral muscles were squeezed and deformed.

Han Cheng lowered the hooked leather curtain, and the small space immediately became dark.
