Chapter 411: Han Cheng, Friend of Women



The saying "good at both housework and cooking" is too weak to describe Han Cheng.

Not only could he do these things, he could also do some needlework, which was women's specialty.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is what he is sewing now.

He folded the finest linen into three layers and sewed it into a bag that was four centimeters wide and fifteen centimeters long.

There are straps at both ends of the bag for tying around the waist.

Maybe women are naturally more talented in this area. Han Cheng didn't need to explain much. Bai Xue, who was pulled by Han Cheng to cram some physiological knowledge, already knew how to use it.

She wanted to take this strange-looking thing from Han Cheng, but Han Cheng didn't give it to her.

He asked Sister Bai Xue, who was naked from the waist down, to wait for him in the room for a while, and he went out with the newly sealed things.

Linen is not very absorbent, even if you stack it in several layers.

So what he held in his hand was not a mature finished product.

He walked all the way to the place where he often cooked, found a hard leaf, and shoveled some wood ash into a burlap bag. He tied the bag tightly and slapped it back and forth in his hands a few times. Seeing that not much ash was coming out, Han Cheng walked back with a smile on his face.

Pure linen does not absorb much water, so just add some highly absorbent wood ash into it.

After use, pour out the wood ash, scrub it thoroughly, and then you can continue to reuse it.

At this moment, Han Cheng couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

This thing looks a little too simple, but compared with the hay and leaves that women of this era often used, it is undoubtedly many levels higher.

It seems that the cultivation of hemp and the weaving of linen cannot stop.

What we have now is far from enough.

There is not much linen left in the Qingque tribe at present. It will take a long time to promote this thing, which sounds not very nice but is very necessary, in the tribe.

It will not become popular until at least early winter this year, when the mature hemp is harvested and fermented and new cloth is woven.

Currently, only Bai Xuemei can enjoy such special treatment...

In the evening, Han Cheng cooked a sumptuous and delicious meal with Mu Tou as promised, which stimulated the others again. They all put their best efforts to get such a reward that was both honorable and very affordable.

Sometimes, appropriate differences will not only not hinder productivity, but will promote the development of productivity...

The days passed quickly, and when the new blue brick and tile houses built by the Qingque tribe this year were finally completed, summer was already showing signs of passing.

There are seven large blue brick and tile houses in total. Whether in length, width or height, they are much larger than the houses built before. Standing in the courtyard, they feel like a crane standing out among chickens.

This was deliberately created by Han Cheng to highlight the importance of learning and education.

There were five houses among them, and they did not have a gable in the middle to support the beams like the previous ones.

These five houses are completely connected in the middle, so they can accommodate many people at once.

When they were digging the foundation, the people of the Qingque tribe, who were already familiar with building houses, discovered that five of the new tiled houses that the Son of God was going to build did not have the foundation of the middle gable planned.

They thought the Son of God had forgotten, so they came to ask and remind him to repair the foundations of the gables of these houses.

The answer he got was that he had not forgotten it, and that it was specially reserved by the Son of God.

Such a result made those in the tribe who were already familiar with house construction feel extremely confused.

Without these gables, how can we put up the beams when the time comes?

Or did the Son of God plan to use tall trees as beams to span the distance of five houses?

But this is just too difficult to do, right?

Moreover, the span is too long and not strong, and the roof is prone to collapse...

Such worries were expressed to the Son of God, but the Son of God smiled and said that he had a solution.

After receiving such an answer, the person who thought he was very familiar with building houses racked his brains but could not come up with a good solution.

It was not until the Son of God asked Bo to use three thick pieces of wood to make a large triangular wooden frame that they suddenly realized what was going on.

The method used by Han Cheng was actually very common in the eyes of later generations. It was to pull up a thick horizontal beam at the location where the gable needed to be built, and use this beam to replace the wall below that was flush with the house.

On top of the horizontal beam, two thick pieces of wood are placed diagonally together to form a tripod.

The vertical wooden beams are placed on the gables that are replaced by wooden frames.

It doesn't matter if there are no nails. With tools like iron axes, you can make gaps in these beams and make them stick together tightly...

The other two rooms are separated separately. One is used to store precious pottery plates on which many things are recorded by witches and stones.

The other room is used as an office for Han Cheng, Wu, and Shitou.

In the future, if there is a need for a small-scale meeting, this place can also be used as a conference room. For large-scale ceremonies, we can go to the five interconnected rooms next door, which will give people a sense of formality.

Han Cheng even had someone build a ridge on the roof of the large blue brick and tile house.

On the two ends of the roof that curve upward, there is a crude-looking bird made of pottery.

These two birds are spreading their wings and pretending to fly. No matter whether they look like bluebirds or not, in the eyes of everyone in the Bluebird Tribe, they are two bluebirds!

Looking at this newly built blue brick and tile house, everyone in the tribe was shocked.

While being shocked, a sense of pride also arose. Such a large and majestic house was built bit by bit by their own hands!

It came from their Qingque tribe!

Han Cheng did not disappoint everyone. On the night when the large brick and tile house was announced to be completed, he and his people prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain everyone in the tribe.

Even this year's wine, brewed with newly ripened fruits, was brought out in ten jars at once. Except for those who needed to stand guard, everyone else could drink as much as they wanted.

As the night deepened, the noisy sounds that had been going on for a long time disappeared completely as the campfire gradually got smaller and finally went out.

In the courtyard of the Qingque tribe, there were many people lying in all directions, snoring loudly.

It was summer at that time, and Han Cheng did not let anyone disturb their sweet dreams. Instead, he took people to cover them with thin animal skins.

On a day like this, how can you not drink to your heart's content?

Looking at the person sleeping on the ground and then at the house standing quietly under the night sky, Han Cheng picked up the half-finished jar of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Then he wrapped himself in a piece of animal skin, lay down on the ground, and quietly looked at the stars in the sky.

Finally fell asleep amidst the twinkling stars...

When they woke up the next day, everyone looked at each other and laughed. Thinking back on what happened last night, they felt extremely happy.

As time passed, the grains became heavier day by day. However, before the grains matured, there was still one thing to do...
