Chapter 304: Mobile House
Song Liyun wants to build a small house that she can use independently.
Although she has a fully equipped camping tent in her space.
But those are items from the end of the world.
There is only one in the Wu Dynasty, and it is a unique piece. She is reluctant to use it.
Besides, that kind of thing is too eye-catching, and it would be difficult to explain if someone saw it and asked about it.
This simple mobile house is lighter than heavy wool felt, quicker to assemble, and most importantly, cheaper.
The wooden houses can even be fixed on ox carts and can be used by people during the migration of cattle.
Originally she wanted to use paper for everything.
But the current processing technology is not good enough, and the cardboard is not waterproof. If it encounters wind and snow, it will collapse completely when wetted by the snow.
Moreover, the cardboard is too light and will be blown to pieces by a strong wind.
The paper core is sandwiched between wooden boards, which is thick enough to insulate against heat and cold, and strong enough to provide support.
The paper core board looks very thick, but it feels light in the hand, less than 40% of the weight of a real wooden board.
Song Dekui was already sweating profusely at this time, but he was very excited.
At Baolinju, when Carpenter Mu brought the sample for trial installation for the first time, Han Ming worked with him.
Under the guidance of Carpenter Mu, the two of them mastered the essentials very easily and found disassembly and assembly easy.
That was just assembling a house, but now it is two townhouses, and can even be combined to form several courtyards.
Stones are placed at the base of the walls of the prefabricated house to reinforce them, and steel bar nails are driven into the four corners to ensure that they are safe even in strong winds.
An hour had passed by the time the two houses and the stable were completed.
Song Liyun laid the wooden floor in her little house, opened the exhaust vents on the top, placed a charcoal stove with a chimney, took out the stove, and boiled some hot water.
The fire started and the room gradually became warmer.
Song Liyun washed her hands and face before taking out the boxes of food that had been prepared long ago.
Outside, Song Dekui was humming a little tune.
First, put the feed specially prepared for Juqing Zaohong into the wooden box that serves as a trough, and then bring some water and put it next to it so that the horses can drink it conveniently.
Only then did he let go of the reins and waited for the horse couple to affectionately lower their heads to eat grass.
Only then did he lead the old horse "A Pound of Salt" to the other side.
There is also a wooden box there.
Song Dekui tied the old horse's reins to the wooden fence and pointed at the specially prepared fine feed in the wooden box, cursing, "A pound of salt! A pound of salt! Look, you don't have even two ounces of meat. Even making soup doesn't have enough oil and water. We have to feed you with good feed. What a loss!"
"You can't ride, you can't walk. If you can't even keep on walking, I'll let the wolves eat you!"
Old Ma didn't even look at him with his dark eyes. He lowered his head and pushed Song Dekui aside. He put his mouth into the wooden box and immediately started eating.
Song Dekui was squeezed against the wall by the horse, and he screamed anxiously: "Get out of the way, you bastard, you did it on purpose, I know you did it on purpose."
"You salt bag, you are full of bad intentions..." Song Dekui cursed while struggling hard, pushing the horse's butt out.
Old Ma seemed unaware that he was squeezing someone, sticking his butt out, pressing him tightly against the wall, even leaning his body to exert force.
Finally, when Song Liyun heard the loud noises on the wall and ran out, she saw Song Dekui crawling out from under the old horse's belly.
"Uncle Kui, what are you doing?" Song Liyun asked in surprise.
Song Dekui's face was flushed red and he was covered in mud.
Seeing that Song Liyun saw him in such a mess, Song Dekui quickly pushed Lao Ma aside and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just checking Yi Jin Yan's health."
He was embarrassed to say that he was bullied by an old horse.
Song Liyun didn't suspect anything and just carried half a bucket of water and placed it next to the old horse: "The old horse has bad teeth, so he should eat more concentrated feed and less hay from outside."
Song Dekui said, "Xiaoyun, we agreed that I will take care of the horse. Don't worry, I will make sure the horse can make it to the Mida Valley alive and well."
He was experienced in caring for animals. The old horse looked like it was dying, but it was still very energetic after its run in the afternoon and would not die for a while.
What he felt was troublesome now was that the old horse was very cunning and would definitely cause trouble in the future, so he had to find a way to tame it.
Song Liyun knew that Song Dekui cared deeply about Ma Du, so she just casually said, "Uncle Kui, when you're done here, come into the house and wash your hands and eat. Today we're having the diced rabbit and soft pancakes that Xiao An made."
Song Dekui's eyes lit up and he instantly became energetic: "Okay! Xiaoyun, go quickly, I'll finish it right away."
Song Dekui picked up the water and poured a little on the old horse's feed, quickly mixing it to wet the feed. He muttered, "You evil old thing, you're going to die, but you still have a few good days to live and have good food to eat."
His hands were rummaging through the hay, and the anxious old horse was snorting in anger.
Seeing that he had won the game, Song Dekui chuckled and said, "If you dare to play tricks on me again, I will deduct your fodder."
As he spoke, he took out a small salt bag and sprinkled a few grains of salt on the old horse's hay. He also placed the water bucket next to the hay, allowing the horse to eat and drink as much as he wanted.
This horse has bad teeth and usually doesn't have enough to eat. If it hadn't met me and Xiaoyun, it would definitely not have survived this winter.
After feeding the three horses, Song Dekui quickly washed his hands and face and went into the wooden house.
The food is already smelling delicious.
At this time, soup was boiling in the casserole on the charcoal stove in the middle of the room.
Next to it was a plate of heated spicy diced rabbit and soft flatbread.
Song Dekui's face was full of smiles: "Wow! Hahaha, it really is Rabbit Ding.
Hey! Xiao An’s cooking skills are very good, the shop will definitely be prosperous in the future.”
"Yeah, I think so too. I'm afraid you'll get tired of eating rabbit meat in the future!" Song Liyun said with a smile as she set up the bowl and chopsticks.
Song Liyun had already said that she would leave one of the shops in Suijin Town for Xiao An to open a restaurant specializing in selling rabbit meat.
Ever since Xue Zhuang knew that Xiao An liked live rabbits and would buy them whenever he saw them, he spread the word at the market in Suijin Town, asking people to catch the live rabbits and send them to Baolinju.
The rabbits' reproduction speed is also astonishingly fast. Now there are more than a hundred rabbits in the backyard of Baolinju, and the number is still increasing rapidly.
Fortunately, we made enough pellet feed during the summer harvest, so there is no need to worry about feeding.
Xiao An not only raises rabbits carefully every day, but also studies rabbit meat recipes carefully.
With the help of Madam Yun, he made several dishes such as spicy rabbit head, spicy rabbit cubes, dry pot rabbit, cold pot rabbit, stir-fried and deep-fried dishes, which were more than enough to open a restaurant.
In Song Liyun's space, there are many rabbit meat dishes that Xiao An usually makes, enough for her and Song Dekui to eat in different ways on the grassland.
Song Dekui raised his eyebrows: "Tired of eating? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
How could you possibly get tired of eating such delicious meat?
Xiao An said that he would eat delicious rabbit meat for the rest of his life.
