Chapter 24 Building a House



Haitang smiled and said, "If you set a trap, wild animals will fall into it." Haitang looked at Shi Hu in front of her, and Shi Hu heard this.

"Alright." In his heart, he knew that since he could no longer transform into a beastman, the beastman area of ​​Shangcun was fine at first, but now he had started to hear people gossiping.

Especially when it comes to their own sons, they say that building houses in the lower or upper villages would indeed be a good choice, at least that way... the children wouldn't be talked about.

And in the future... when looking at the stars and moon not far away, these two children will not be able to transform into beasts, so there won't be too much of a gap between them.

In truth, Shi Hu understood that although he and Dongfang Long could hunt quite a few prey now, it was significantly less than when he was a beastman.

If nutrition is inadequate, it is very difficult for one's child to grow up and become an orc.

Under these circumstances, Haitang is now preparing to build the room. Haitang wants to use the master's bamboo strips and pieces to make the room.

Haitang chose to let her third uncle solve the problem, and then... actually, Haitang felt that hiring him now was a good idea.

Begonia doesn't have much food or other necessities right now, but she does have salt. She uses salt to find people to help with her work.

The other side of the race has almost no salt, so they often have to trade for it, which is very rare. Now that Haitang said she was looking for people to work on building houses with salt, several people came immediately, and Haitang even provided them with food.

Under these circumstances, Haitang began to talk to her third uncle about her house, "You mean, you want to build a tall one?"

"Hmm, the floor shouldn't be connected to anything, it's a bit high..." Sometimes water seeps into the room, which is a real tragedy.

"I understand, it's just like the sheep tribe." Haitang was slightly taken aback, and Shi Ming told her.

"The rooms of the Sheep Tribe are raised using these wooden stakes," Shi Ming said, looking at Haitang. It had taken Shi Ming and Haitang several days to explain things clearly.

Shi Ming selected the trees and then broke them off with the help of Shi Shui. Because Haitang had saved the child last time, it was easy for Shi Shui to help now.

Xiuxiu's side didn't say no either. Many people from the other race came, and under these circumstances, everyone started working.

Haitang used the mat to catch fish, and after catching them, she started cutting and cleaning them.

After cleaning, coat the fish with these spices, add the fish soup and grilled fish, and then add sweet potato starch to make a delicious meal.

The locals didn't eat much—half a grilled fish, a bowl of fish soup with sweet potato noodles. Under these circumstances, Haitang immediately started building a small kitchen nearby.

When Shi Ming and the others finished cooking and came to eat, Shi Ming said softly, "Fish, huh? It's pretty good."

The other people didn't say anything, but they sat and ate. Few people liked to eat fish because it was too fishy. They didn't expect Haitang to make this kind of food on the first day. But since others were giving them salt, they didn't care.

"As long as we're full, that's enough. For the human race, we don't ask for anything else," Haitang said with a smile. Shi Ming looked at Haitang, opened his mouth, but still lowered his head and drank.

However, they were all slightly taken aback and looked at Haitang. "This... how did you do this?" Everyone looked at Haitang with the same expression.

The delicious fish soup paired with sweet potato noodles is incredibly tasty. The fish has no fishy smell at all and is sweet and flavorful.

This was a world apart from the nauseating fish soup and grilled fish they had eaten at the beginning. Looking at the grilled fish placed in front of them, the group picked it up and started eating. The grilled fish was half a fish, with the tail and the head.

"I made this myself. If you uncles and elders like it, I'll tell you after everything is over. There are many ways to cook this fish," Haitang said. "And fish is very nutritious."

"Really?" Shi Ming was overjoyed. If fish could taste good, then... he wouldn't suffer from eating fish anymore.

"Well, of course, the main thing is to clean the fish and then cook it," Haitang said. Everyone nodded when they heard this. Haitang then selected a fence nearby.

It's good to mark out my location. This place, Haitang, is almost uninhabited. There's no one for 500 meters in front of me and no one for 500 meters behind me. It's incredibly spacious.

Under these circumstances, Haitang plans to develop the land. However, as for spicy chicken, there are already quite a few dried chilies. The simplified version of spicy chicken will be made in a few days after the house is ready and the porcelain is made.

What she needs right now is a house to farm, and a kiln to fire; these are the most important things.

For the next few days, Haitang will be eating grilled fish and fish soup. Of course, there are also many times when Haitang will cook other dishes.

Roasted lamb leg, along with sweet potato noodles, was a common treat. As winter turned to spring, the younger siblings went out to find food, and they quickly found sweet potatoes.

When the sweet potatoes were found, Haitang made all sorts of food for them, and in this way, she treated everyone to a feast without going broke.

After all, it's impossible for her father and Dongfang Long to be together every day.

The room was built quickly. Everyone in this world is a strongman. Haitang was explaining the construction techniques to Shi Ming, and with her suggestions, Shi Ming learned very quickly.

For example, with wood, binding it with one's body might not be secure enough, so they use a kind of interlocking mechanism like building blocks. Although this requires a lot of manpower, it is obviously not difficult for strongmen.

During these days, Haitang also started cutting wood with her own fish knife, and in this way, she would cut small bamboo strips, one by one, and then use them to lay on the ground.

However, Haitang had also polished it. Sometimes Dongfang Long would come to see the house, and when he saw Haitang's hands, he would help whittle bamboo strips. The Empress Dowager helped to lay these things on the ground.

Polishing wooden planks with stone tools is very difficult in this place. Although there are planks, they are not flat. However, the people are meticulous and, with Haitang's pursuit of perfection, they have done a good job.

Haitang currently has two rooms and a living room. Even beastmen would find it difficult to afford such a large labor cost, but thanks to the salt, they can manage for now.

In addition, the food made by Haitang is very good. Under such circumstances, those people need much less work, because after taking this skill back, the fish soup they make will not have a strong fishy smell.
