Chapter 120 Planning the functional areas of the home
For some reason, Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat when she heard the other person's words.
A palpitation flashed through her mind, and she kept it in mind, nodding. "It's indeed a bit time-consuming. But since there's a market for it, I can consider it when there's a chance. Besides... I think you quite like it, so I'll make one for you first."
The other party was unreserved in his kindness to her, so she could only do her best to be nice to him.
Before, Si Ye had always been the one who gave, and it seemed that she didn't need anything in particular. But this time, since the other party had made it clear, she had to give something in return.
Finally, after communication, Xia Tian decided to sleep on the bed as usual. The issue of the bed and the straw mat was put on the agenda, but its resolution was postponed.
A night passed.
The next day, both of them got up early.
After washing up, Xia Tian put the fish basket back in the river as the weather had been good these days. She caught some small fish and made some soup with them. She then paired them with fresh vegetables and berries, which made a nutritious breakfast.
【Healthy and hearty breakfast! 】
Breakfast is really important. A word of advice from a gastroenterologist: Make sure you have a balanced diet...
[The weather looks good today, what are you guys planning to do? ]
Si Ye is not going out hunting today. He will stay at home to help Xia Tian with the housework.
This was something they had discussed before. Although hunting and gathering food was also important, there was still a lot to be done in the cave aspect.
For example, repairing the stove, helping to refine salt, digging a cellar for storing food in the future, etc., these are difficult to accomplish if Xia Tian is left alone at home.
Not to mention that if there are no preparations for food storage, even if the food is collected, it will only rot in such hot and humid weather.
If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Therefore, it is very important to prepare for storing food before collecting it.
After breakfast, Xia Tian and Si Ye moved the bacon hanging in the cave out and placed it in a sunny place, and began to prepare to repair the stove.
As mentioned before, the stove currently in use is made of mud, has only one fire outlet, and is facing the entrance of the cave.
Not only is it not sturdy, but if you use this stove to cook on a daily basis, you can only place one pot on one fire outlet, and smoke will keep coming into the hole.
If this continues for a long time, the cave will often be filled with smoke. Although it looks romantic, it is very painful to be in it.
For example, in an old-fashioned house without a cooking stove, the thick smoke from burning wood and oil smoke is, without exaggeration, so concentrated that it would be difficult for a person to open his eyes rationally.
The lingering smell of cigarette smoke also affects the living experience.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to change the location of the stove and adjust the structure of the stove.
Considering that the current cave they live in has no clear living area, Xia Tian plans to separate the stove (kitchen) from the cave layout and arrange it together with the dining area (dining room). This will allow them to cook and eat at the same time, and it will also be convenient to deal with kitchen waste and food scraps.
The cave mainly serves as a bedroom and living room, but they are still connected to each other, so that there is a rough division and the various functions do not interfere with each other.
In this way, with the most basic shelter from wind and rain and a place to fill the stomach, the cave has truly transformed from a natural shelter into a home with a "human feel".
While planning the kitchen, Xia Tian planned to solve another problem at the same time - repairing the toilet.
The kids who are not liked by everyone are about to appear again. I will let them dig toilets to educate them. Hahaha
