Chapter 129
"Idiot, I told you this ratio is the best, why did you insist on adding so much!" This was Barlow's voice.
Bombur angrily scolded him: "You are the fool. Have you forgotten that I failed last time according to your words?"
Yu Sui walked over to the window with amusement, and sure enough, Barlow had also joined the research. The two seemed to have different opinions and were arguing fiercely.
"Xiao Yu Sui is here? I'll go call Bombur for you." Karen, who was busy in the kitchen, saw him from the window on the other side and hurried forward to open the door for him.
As soon as he walked into the house, Karen was about to open the door of the studio next to him.
"Will this disturb Uncle Bangbo? Otherwise, I'll wait outside." Yu Sui hurriedly stopped him.
Kailin smiled and said, "It's okay. If you're afraid of disturbing him, he's working in the basement. He just brought these up yesterday and worked on them with Barlow. Unfortunately, I'm not good at this, so I can't help him."
No wonder I couldn’t see Uncle Bombur the past two days. I could only smell the stench. Today the stench is even stronger. It turns out it’s because of the move.
Yu Sui couldn't help but wrinkle his nose. If he really couldn't remember what the saltpeter mine looked like, he wouldn't have come up with this method.
"Bombur has made the house stink these days, and even my cooking doesn't smell good anymore." Seeing his expression, Karen laughed out loud and pushed open the door of Bombur's studio.
"Come out quickly, Xiao Yusui is here, there must be something wrong." Kailin shouted to the backs of the two people who were concentrating on their studies inside.
Bombur looked back every few steps, reluctantly put down the things in his hands, and then walked out.
"Xiao Yu Sui, what's the matter?" He stretched his overused back and asked Yu Sui.
Yu Sui pinched his nose and hid a little further away. When Bombur came out, the smell became even stronger. Seeing Kailin's disgusted expression next to him, Yu Sui was afraid that she would hit Bombur with the spatula in her hand.
"Have you forgotten? After the farm tools are forged, we still have to go to the Minotaur to complete the transaction."
Bombur's hand, which was stretched to the limit, stopped mid-stretch. "Oh no! How could I have forgotten this!"
Kailin reached out and patted the back of his head. "The tribesmen finished forging yesterday. I asked them to pack up their things and wait for you to set off."
Looking at the door of the studio with longing eyes, Bombur was a little reluctant, but the grain trading matter was also very important and could not be delayed, so he nodded helplessly.
"Okay, then let's get ready to leave in the next day or two."
Yu Sui saw his look, smiled and said, "There's no rush to make gunpowder. When we come back, we'll have Uncle Heiyan go with you to look for sulfur. Once we have all the materials, we'll set up a tent outside the tribe for you to use. Otherwise, it's easy to blow up the house."
Bombur then became excited and replied happily, "Yes, we do need to put up a tent. I had forgotten about it."
After saying this, Yu Sui stood up and said, "Then I'll come over when we set off. You guys can continue your research."
Kailin knew that the snow werewolf had a sensitive nose and would feel uncomfortable staying here, so she didn't try to keep her. God knows her appetite had decreased drastically in the past few days and it was really smelly.
If Bombur had not told her what he was for, she would have thrown him out of the house along with all the stinking dirt.
After leaving Bombur's house, Yu Sui finally relaxed his expression and even found the biting cold wind cute.
Walking aimlessly on the road, Yu Sui began to wonder when to set off and whether he needed to bring any more goods with him.
After thinking about it, there was nothing they could bring to trade. After all, their tribe had barely escaped the predicament of hunger this year. There was not much food, and not much wine brewed over the years. Except for what they kept for drinking, the rest was moved to the Red Grass Tribe last time.
As for the pottery, it can be exchanged for a lot of food. Unfortunately, it was made late this year, so most of it was supplied to the tribesmen, and not much was taken to the Tauren for exchange.
There is an open space in his basement that is specifically used to dry pottery blanks in the shade. It takes a long time, but the pottery blanks dried in this way will be of better quality when fired into pottery.
They did it in a hurry in the fall, even the bricks, because even though they were covered with straw outside to avoid the direct sun, the wind would hasten their drying.
Bricks dried in the shade indoors without wind will be stronger and more durable after being fired into bricks.
Conditions were limited this year, and winter wasn't long away, so we had to make do with it. Next year, when we built houses for other snow wolves, we could build a special tent for the bricks and pottery and let them dry slowly in the shade.
Yu Sui was thinking about something and unknowingly walked out of the tribe and came to the brick kiln.
Although bricks are no longer made in winter, the coal used in the tribe is still stored here. When the tribesmen run out of coal at home, they come here and use carts to get it.
There is more coal this year, and the homes of the snow wolves have become warmer. Just light a stove and set up a chimney. As long as you don't forget to add coal, even the tent will be warm.
This makes the cubs' lives more comfortable and gives them more energy to play around.
In previous winters, the tents or houses of the Snow Werewolves were not warm at all. They were not sealed tightly and cold wind blew in from the gaps in every corner.
The cubs' fur is not as thick as that of adult werewolves, so they have a hard time enduring every winter. It would be okay if they could run and play outside, but especially when they go to bed every night, they can only curl up under their parents' furry bellies.
The weather was getting colder day by day, and the tribe's demand for coal was also increasing. At this time, the two snow werewolves were turning into snow wolves, putting wooden carts on their bodies, and preparing to go dig coal.
Shuyu was also here, his eyes following the movement of the wooden cart.
"This kind of stone can actually burn. Dwarves are indeed good at finding different minerals." Noticing Yu Sui's arrival, Shu Yu turned his head and said with a smile.
Yu Sui nodded. "The arrival of the Tu tribe has solved a lot of problems for us. For example, this black stone burns longer than wood and is particularly useful as fuel in winter."
Shuyu stopped talking and looked at the other people who came to get the black stone.
Most of the coal pulled back from the mine is in large pieces, and users need to break them up and put them on their own wooden carts.
Their wooden carts are of normal size, unlike the wooden carts that the Snow Werewolves use to haul coal to the mines. Those are really big, like trucks, and only the Snow Werewolves can pull them.
The dwarf who came here to carry the black stones home was about to take out the hammer from the car when a female snow werewolf came up from behind. She laughed and raised her fist, smashing several huge black stones into small pieces with a few clangs.
She picked up the black stone fragments on the ground and filled the small carts of the dwarves who came to haul coal.
The dwarves all smiled at her gratefully, and one of them said, "I'm so lucky! Now I don't have to hammer anymore. Come to our house for dinner when you have time!"
