Chapter 183
Lanlos had not woken up yet, but Yu Sui was worried that Shuyu was in a bad mood, so after Notting hastily cleaned the mud house, he urgently moved him inside.
Sure enough, Shuyu was very satisfied with his approach. When Yu Sui came back, he had already drunk the corn soup he made himself...
I don’t know how Shuyu did it, but he made a thick soup with just simple corn and seasonings, and he even created a special milky aroma. It’s really amazing. Yu Sui likes it very much.
Xiaochu also held the small bowl and started drinking, squinting his eyes comfortably. He was wearing another sweater, the style of which was a new pattern recently knitted by Vanilla and others. Yu Sui couldn't remember who knitted it for Xiaochu and sent it to him. There were no adults in their family, so Kailin, Lu, Vanilla, Ellie and others would make clothes for them, and they would wear any new style as soon as it came out.
The hands of female dwarves are particularly dexterous. In this era before the development of industry, they rely on their hands for everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The clothes that Yu Sui asked Kalan to help make for Shuyu were also finished. They were made of cotton cloth, and the style was similar to modern men's pajamas. After they were finished, Yu Sui liked them very much, so he made a few more sets for him and Xiaochu to wear when they slept at night.
He had never thought of making a few sets of pajamas before, but he remembered it when Shuyu came. It seemed that after living with the snow werewolves for a long time, he didn't have the conditions at first, but later he adapted to it. People's adaptability is really terrifying.
Now that he was sleeping in comfortable cotton pajamas again, Yu Sui didn't know how he had managed to sleep wrapped in animal skins before.
Although this place is backward, everything here is made of genuine materials. Take this cotton cloth, for example. It's 100% pure cotton, soft and skin-friendly. It's several times more comfortable than the pajamas Yu Sui bought in modern times. After all, the modern industry is notorious for adulteration...
Shuyu seemed to have never worn clothes made of this material. When he got the pajamas, he looked at them over and over again. However, after trying them on once, Yu Sui saw him wearing pajamas every night, and he seemed to like them very much.
Since becoming an orc, Yu Sui's habits have changed a lot. He used to be a homebody with mild social anxiety, but now, his social anxiety has completely disappeared. From time to time, he and his friends would get drunk, turn into beasts, and roll into a ball to sleep on the ground. When the weather was cold, they would sleep together on the kang. He could hardly remember how he lived alone before.
So after taking Shuyu in, Yu Sui didn't feel uncomfortable, but he also took Shuyu's human identity into consideration and worried that the other party would not be used to it. The huge kang was usually divided into two halves, with the two of them sleeping on each side, while Xiaochu rolled around everywhere. Anyway, he liked to sleep in animal form, and since he was small, it didn't matter where he rolled.
Taking into account the living habits of humans, since Shuyu has not yet planned to return to the human world, it is not convenient for him to live with him like this. Yu Sui plans to build a house for Shuyu when the tribe builds a house next year. Humans require less space and it is easier to build.
The soap had also solidified, so Yu Sui first demolded it and took it out of the basin and bowl respectively.
"What is this? Have you made new food?" Shuyu was holding a piece of wood in one hand and a carving knife in the other, carving some pattern. When he saw Yu Sui moving something out of the storage room, he came over and asked.
Yu Sui put the soap on the table, found a thin thread to tighten it, and cut the soap into cubes of similar size.
While working on his hands, Yu Sui replied, "It's not for eating, it's soap for washing clothes."
"Washing clothes?" Shuyu repeated in confusion.
"Not everyone knows how to clean, especially us orcs. Cotton clothes are hard to clean. With this soap, most dirt can be washed off. Ordinary humans should also need it."
Yu Sui explained that for Shu Yu, dirty clothes only required a cleaning technique, but orcs and humans who couldn't use magic couldn't do that. They had to rub them by hand, and if they couldn't wash them clean, they could only let the dirt remain on the cotton cloth, which was a torture for people who loved cleanliness.
Things like the fur you sleep on and the clothes you wear, if not washed properly for a long time, will have residual bacteria, and the fragile ones can easily cause infectious diseases. Orcs are physically strong, but their cubs may not be immune. Yu Sui suspected that this was part of the reason why orc cubs had difficulty reaching adulthood.
The solidified soap cannot be used now and needs to be placed for about a month before it can be used. Yu Sui did not remember the specific principle. He cut the soap as evenly as possible and placed it on the shelf in the storage room.
After preparing the soap, Yu Sui also changed the water for the bean sprouts. He lifted the cloth covering them and saw that sprouts had already appeared on the black beans. They would be ready to eat in two days.
A few days ago, Shuyu found some good wood in the firewood pile in the yard, and picked it out separately to make wood carvings.
The Snow Werewolves were not picky when gathering firewood, and they had no idea that this tree also contained magical powers. It was said that after carving it into a wooden sculpture, they carved a magic circle on it, which was extremely useful for both attack and defense.
Yu Sui felt embarrassed when being stared at by Shu Yu with such a wasteful look. He felt it himself and found that the piece of wood did have a lustrous luster. He didn't know where the tribesmen had found it.
He had only recently learned magic, and the firewood had been piled up in the yard since late autumn, so it was not his fault for wasting it. He really didn't know what it was, which is why he only discovered it now.
Upon hearing that the wood was so useful, Yu Sui wandered around the tribe these days and found quite a lot of it. A tree that tall could be made into a lot of firewood. In addition, everyone basically used black stones for heating this year, and firewood only served as a kindling. Therefore, there was still a lot of wood left that could be made into magic props, and Yu Sui picked them all up and put them in his own yard.
If he were in human society, Yu Sui would not rummage through other people's firewood piles and take them away at will. But after he became an orc, his tribesmen were used to doing things as they pleased. Yu Sui would rummage through the wood near people's tents, and if he couldn't take it out, the owner would have to come out and move it for him.
Shuyu is a very qualified teacher. While carving, he also explained to Yu Sui in detail that the magic patterns on this kind of props can be activated by injecting magic power into them, but the power depends on the level of the user. The higher the magic power, the more powerful the props are, but there is an upper limit.
If it is for convenience, or for use by people who don't know magic, a magic core needs to be embedded in the center of the magic pattern. This material can only be used for fourth-order magic cores at most. Any higher will not be able to withstand the energy fluctuations.
The knowledgeable dwarves praised the props made by Shuyu again and again. Although it was different from their craftsmanship, the quality was not low. The dwarves already had a good impression of Shuyu's extraordinary appearance, and now their love for him was even deeper.
As a teacher, Shuyu naturally wanted to teach Yu Sui how to make this wood carving prop. He was a good teacher and didn't hide his knowledge. But Yu Sui, who was clumsy with his hands, was not a good student...
