He had experience!
But digging the pond this time was much more troublesome than the previous time.
Zhou Ji did not need a big pond, but if the pond was too small, it would easily become stagnant water … Zhou Ji wanted to connect the pond with the nearby stream. In this way, the water would be alive. Not only could Xiong Ye bathe in the pond in front of his house, he could also pour any domestic sewage into the pond without worrying about the water being smelly.
At this time, domestic sewage was used to wash vegetables and rice. It would not pollute the environment, and could also be used to raise fish. It would be good to pour it into the river.
This was a big project. Fortunately, there were many people in the tribe now. Because of Zhu Zhan and the others, the hunting team did not need too many people.
Half of the slaves who just came to the Ursa Major Tribe worked at Zhou Ji's place every day.
And the one who directed them to work was Xiong Ye. "Pile the excavated mud over there."
"Dig the foundation according to this line, and then hammer the other places tightly."
"We can start building the wall tomorrow."
…
Every night, Zhou Ji would teach him how to count or how to read. But these days, Zhou Ji did not teach much. Instead, he kept telling him about their new house.
The more Zhou Ji talked, the more Xiong Ye looked forward to it. Then he realized that the cave they lived in was really not that good.
The ground was cold, and they had to go outside to use the toilet. It was troublesome to wash things … But now it was different. Zhou Ji dug a pond in front of their house, and planned to make a … well?
In addition, Zhou Ji said that they could build a few rooms, some for sleeping, some for cooking, and some for entertaining guests …
Xiong Ye did not know how Zhou Ji's brain worked. How could he think of so many things?
He was a little worried.
He always felt that Zhou Ji was very weak, so he wanted to take care of Zhou Ji. But now … Zhou Ji was much stronger than him!
Would Zhou Ji not like him?
He felt a little uneasy, but soon felt that he was thinking too much.
They were partners, and would always be together. Zhou Ji was still so good to him, so he did not need to worry.
Thinking of this, Xiong Ye began to work again.
This was his and Zhou Ji's home. He must make it beautiful.
When Zhou Ji's house was in full swing, the weather slowly turned cold.
The Orcs were quite adaptable to the weather. Although the weather had turned cold, everyone adapted well and was not affected at all. Xiong Ye was still catching fish in the river.
However, the children who had not awakened their beast forms were different. These children were quite afraid of the cold and began to wrap themselves in animal skins. At night, the collective cave would even light a fire.
Today was another day where they didn't need to hunt. Xiong Ye took the candy that Zhou Ji gave him as a snack and exchanged it with Zhu Zhan for two birds. When he went to the pottery place to look for Zhou Ji, he saw some children in the tribe playing around animal skins beside the pottery pit. There were also some women holding young children and staying beside the pottery pit, chatting while roasting meat.
"Why have the children been coming here recently?" Xiong Ye was confused. "It's quite dangerous here. It'll be bad if they accidentally fall into a pit." Recently, the tribe had been continuously making pottery. Today, they lit a fire to burn the pottery. If these children accidentally fell into the pit when they were playing …
Seeing that Xiong Ye was a little worried, the priest who was drinking barley tea said, "It's been cold recently, so these children came here. It's warmer here." Recently, some walls and houses were built here. They were all burned. Not only were they livable, it was also quite warm. When the people in the tribe were free, they all liked to come here.
When it was time to burn pottery, there were even more people here — after the weather turned cold, the pottery place no longer made people want to avoid it. Instead, people wanted to stay by the side and absorb the warmth.
Hearing the priest's words, Xiong Ye subconsciously looked at Zhou Ji. He found that Zhou Ji, who had always stayed far away under the tree, had now moved his recliner closer to the fire pit. He was looking at Xiong Ye, and when he saw Xiong Ye looking over, he smiled at him.
Xiong Ye suddenly remembered that Zhou Ji did not have a beast form. In other words, he was not very resistant to the cold.
It was fine these days, but the weather would get colder day by day …
"But this pottery place should be surrounded by a fence to prevent children from accidentally falling in." The priest finished drinking the barley tea, poured the barley grains into his mouth, and chewed as he ate.
Seeing that Zhou Ji was brewing barley tea, he also brewed it and drank it. He quite liked it.
After drinking the tea, the barley had just softened. It was just right for him to eat.
"Mm." Xiong Ye answered absent-mindedly. He strode towards Zhou Ji and held his hand. "Zhou Ji, the weather has been cold recently. Do you feel cold?"
"No," Zhou Ji said.
"Winter …"
Zhou Ji smiled. "We will soon move to our new house. When that time comes, we can light a fire over there to keep warm."
To him, living in a cave in winter was not very comfortable. They could light a fire in the cave, but there was no smoke. That was fine. The stone was always cold, and when they entered and exited the cave, it was destined to be very cold. They had to go in and out.
Luckily, their house was about to be built.
"Yes." Xiong Ye nodded. He passed the two birds that he had already packed to Zhou Ji and said, "I will go over there to keep an eye on them. Let them finish building the house quickly."
Zhou Ji thought about it and said, "I will go over too."
Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji came to the place where they were building the house.
The pond and the stream that led to the nearby river had been dug, and the house was almost finished.
In the end, Zhou Ji built three mud huts that faced south. Behind each of the mud huts that faced south was a small hut.
He planned to use the mud house in the middle for eating. If there were guests, it could also be used to entertain them. The small house behind this house was to be used as a kitchen.
The house on the east was Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye's bedroom. The house behind this house was the toilet and shower room.
After opening the door from the bedroom, there was a shower. After opening another door, there was a toilet. Because Zhou Ji did not want to smell any odors, it was only a wooden toilet bowl. There was no latrine pit dug out.
Zhou Ji could not think of a use for the house on the west and the house behind it for the time being, so he simply left them empty.
In fact, Zhou Ji had thought of building two floors for this house at first. However, he later found that it was very troublesome to build with the current technology, so he gave up.
At the same time, in order to welcome the coming winter, he also dug a pit in the bedroom to make it convenient to light a fire to keep warm in the future … In short, this house was really quite primitive.
Now, the walls of the house had already been completed. As for the roof, they were finishing up — first, they used wood to build a triangle, then covered it with a few layers of dinosaur skin, then a thick layer of mud. Finally, they covered it with layers of wide leaves, and the roof would be completed. At this moment, Monkey Stone, who was in the shape of a monkey, was doing the final process of covering some of the leaves on the roof.
This was what Zhou Ji had asked them to do. They did it a little crudely and did not perfectly meet Zhou Ji's requirements. However, in Zhou Ji's opinion, it was not bad. After that, he would use his mental strength to scan and reinforce it, and it should be usable.
In Zhou Ji's eyes, these were all so-so, but in Xiong Ye's eyes …
Xiong Ye felt that everything here was very perfect.
In this world, there should not be a house more beautiful than this house!
"Zhou Ji, Zhu Zhan said that this house is better than the best house in his tribe!" Xiong Ye said. According to Zhu Zhan, most of the houses in his tribe were made of wood and covered with dinosaur skin. They were very low, and were not as good as the house that Zhou Ji had asked them to build.
"Do you like it?" Zhou Ji asked.
"Of course." Xiong Ye said.
Zhou Ji smiled and entered the house.
Now, the house was empty, but with furniture, they could live in it immediately. It was a pity that the furniture was not ready yet.
Zhou Ji looked at Xiong Ye. "Let's go back."
"Okay." Xiong Ye nodded.
After the weather started to turn cold, the big bear tribe started to prepare for the winter. When the two of them returned to the col, they saw that Xiong He and his men were busy preparing.
Xiong He took out the smoked barley and dried it under the sun again. Then, he started to make more smoked meat. As for the food that was distributed to everyone, it was all replaced with eggs that were not easy to preserve.
Actually, according to Zhou Ji's idea, they should eat the smoked meat that they had made in the beginning, and then turn the prey that they had recently hunted into smoked meat. In this way, their smoked meat would be fresher. However, there was not much salt in the tribe, so they could not do that.
Although their tribe did not lack salt after a trip to the Little Creek tribe, there was not much salt. If they used it too quickly, there would not be any left in the future.
Fortunately, they had learned about the route to exchange salt from the survivors of the Qingshan tribe who had just arrived at the big bear tribe.
The people of the Qingshan tribe had been heading east to exchange salt with the Beach tribe by the sea.
The Beach tribe lived by the sea and lived far away from here, so they should not have been attacked by the Giant Tiger tribe … Of course, to Zhou Ji, as long as there was a sea, even if there was no Beach tribe, they could still get salt.
They finally decided to go to the sea next spring.
"Zhou Ji, you're back." Seeing Zhou Ji, Xiong He smiled and greeted him.
Zhou Ji nodded at him and returned to their cave with Xiong Ye.
Seeing that their new home was about to be built, Zhou Ji suddenly felt disgusted with this valley.
The mixed smells here were really not pleasing to the eye …
Zhou Ji thought for a while and finally said, "Xiong Ye, are we moving tomorrow?"
"So soon?" Xiong Ye looked a little troubled.
"You can't bear to leave?" Zhou Ji asked. Xiong Ye had lived in this cave for a long time. Would he be reluctant to leave?
"No? Why would I be reluctant? "Xiong Ye's face was full of confusion." It's just that I have to hunt tomorrow. Why don't we move the day after tomorrow? "
Zhou Ji smiled. "Sure."
After deciding to move the day after tomorrow, Zhou Ji went to check his house on the second day. Then, he strengthened it and got someone to get a lot of firewood to burn the inside and outside of the house.
After burning the walls of the mud house, not only could it remove the moisture, it could also make the house more sturdy.
Then, there was the furniture … Zhou Ji got someone to get some rough wood and inserted it into the mud floor of the bedroom like a fence. After inserting two short rows of wood and laying a wooden plank on top, it would be a bed.
He actually wanted to make a kang bed that could be lit with fire, but firstly, he didn't know how to make this kang bed. Secondly, he didn't have any bricks, so he gave up. Anyway, he and Xiong Ye weren't particularly afraid of the cold.
Zhou Ji busied himself for the whole day. At this time, the Giant Tiger Tribe was also preparing for winter.
The Giant Tiger Tribe had defeated the Qingshan Tribe last winter. The Qingshan Tribe was located in a very fertile area. They had originally planned to stay here for a year before leaving the next winter.
Preparing for winter was a very troublesome matter. They needed a lot of food during winter … Hu Tian liked to attack a tribe before winter, then steal their food, kill all their people, and occupy their territory. This way, the Giant Tiger Tribe didn't need to make too many preparations and could have a good winter.
Even if they didn't have enough food during winter … they could let the slaves hunt in the new territory that had enough food to feed them.
Previously, Hu Tian planned to attack the big bear tribe; however, due to some troubles in the big bear tribe, he became a bit hesitant.
But after such a long time, the big bear tribe didn't make any moves, which made him want to make a move.
If the big bear tribe was very powerful, and someone died here, after falling out with him, they should take revenge no matter what. But the big bear tribe didn't do that.
So, this big bear tribe … was probably not that powerful.
Hu Tian thought for a while and sent someone to investigate the big bear tribe.
When Hu Tian sent someone to the big bear tribe, everyone in the big bear tribe was busy with Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji's moving house.
Everyone in the tribe had long known that Zhou Ji wanted to move out. Regarding this, everyone was very confused.
Their col was so good, so safe! This was a good place that the previous priest had found for them, but Zhou Ji actually wanted to move out …
If they lived outside, what if a powerful dinosaur suddenly appeared?
Of course, Zhou Ji was the messenger of the Beast Deity, maybe he wasn't afraid of dinosaurs?
In fact, even Zhu Zhan was puzzled by Zhou Ji's decision to move out.
In his opinion, the col of the big bear tribe was really not bad. It was easy to defend and hard to attack, it was very safe.
Living outside … what was so good about it?
However, Zhu Zhan was very happy that Xiong Ye was willing to live outside.
He joined the big bear tribe on his own initiative, and now he was already a member of the big bear tribe. But because there were not many caves in the big bear tribe, he and his men had been living in a cave.
This group of people were all very big. With only one cave, they really couldn't sleep well. If it weren't for the fact that some of his men had found a girlfriend in the tribe and would go out to sleep at night, they probably wouldn't even be able to lie down at night!
He had long wanted a cave, but it was very slow and troublesome to dig a new cave. Coincidentally, Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji wanted to move out, so the priest said that when Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji's cave was empty, they could live there.
Now, Zhu Zhan couldn't stop thinking about that cave!
Early in the morning, Zhu Zhan found Xiong Ye and said, "Xiong Ye, let me help you move!"
"Alright!" Xiong Ye agreed. He and Zhou Ji needed to move a lot of things, and it was great that Zhu Zhan and the rest were willing to help.
After Xiong Ye agreed, Zhu Zhan entered Xiong Ye's cave.
Once he entered, he was stunned by the cave.
This cave was really too perfect, too luxurious!
There was a platform outside the cave, and there was a door. When the door was opened, the entire long cave was divided into two rooms, inside and outside, separated by animal skin.
There were some things for cooking outside, and there were all kinds of bottles and jars, many of which Zhu Zhan had never seen before. He sniffed and even smelled a lot of food and seasoning that he had eaten before and liked to eat.
To him, all kinds of things that were very precious to him, things that he could only get from fighting with Xiong Ye, were placed casually. There was even a big pot of dried chili that was as big as his head!
Just a little bit of dried chili could make a big pot of delicious food. Such a big pot of dried chili could last for a few months, right?
There was also honey and sugar. It was really sweet just by smelling it.
Xiong Ye was usually with them, and these things … were all obtained by Zhou Ji?
Zhu Zhan looked at Zhou Ji with a complicated expression.
Zhou Ji was really mysterious …
Of course, what made him sigh even more was this cave.
After entering the cave, Zhu Zhan realized that this cave was even better than he thought!
This cave was actually divided into two rooms, one of which was also separated by animal skin. It should be used for sleeping, as it looked like a comfortable nest. The other room was used to store some miscellaneous items.
And those so-called miscellaneous items were things that he wanted but didn't have, such as all kinds of pottery, many of which were newly fired.
Zhu Zhan immediately saw an open pot placed in the corner. This pot had just been baked not long ago. At that time, he was curious about what this thing was used for.
Zhu Zhan picked it up and studied it carefully. He asked Xiong Ye, "Xiong Ye, what is this used for? Is it used to store water? "
One of Zhu Zhan's subordinates said, "This thing looks really good. After placing one in the cave, you can drink water whenever you want."
"…" Xiong Ye looked at them speechlessly. "This is a chamber pot … Zhou Ji said it was used to go to the toilet … cough cough!" Zhou Ji said it was troublesome to go to the toilet at night, so he made this chamber pot …
Zhu Zhan awkwardly put down the chamber pot in his hand.
The priest rushed over and picked up the chamber pot. "This is good stuff! This is good stuff! I want to recruit people to make one too! " He was already so old, and it was troublesome to go to the toilet at night. If there was a chamber pot like this, it would be much more convenient.
The priest observed it carefully and planned to make one when he got back.
"There are a lot of things to move, let's hurry!" Xiong Ye said. He picked up two chairs, climbed down the cave, and ran towards his new home.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhan and the others carried some things and followed. Even the priest was no exception — he took the chamber pot and walked forward slowly.
Zhu Zhan thought that the cave that Xiong Ye lived in was already very good, but when he saw Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji's new home, he immediately realized that it wasn't the case.
He had seen Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji's new home before, but the house now was completely different from what he had seen before.
Not only did it look more beautiful from the outside, but the furnishings inside were even more attractive.
Everyone entered from the middle room. Once they entered, they saw a small round table that was carved from a whole piece of wood, as well as a few small wooden stakes that were used as chairs. Further in was the kitchen. In this kitchen, there were two stoves made of mud, and on top of them were pots and pans. There was also a stone slab at the side, and there were some bottles and jars that had already been moved over.
In addition, the beds in Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji's bedroom were also not bad. The bedroom was connected to a small room that was said to be used for bathing. Opening a door from here, one could see a small room that was used for some unknown purpose. In that small room, there was a round stool.
No, it didn't seem to be a round stool.
Zhu Zhan became curious again. After realizing that there was a cover on the stool, he stretched out his hand and opened the cover — this stool turned out to be a wooden barrel with a cover.
"This room is used to store food? Is this wooden barrel used to store barley? "Zhu Zhan asked again.
"…" Xiong Ye was still helpless. "This is the toilet."
Zhu Zhan: "…" He immediately knew what this wooden barrel was used for.
After the people of the Big Bear Tribe discovered that feces could make plants grow better, the feces of the people of the tribe and the dinosaurs that they bred were all collected.
Now that Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji put one in their home … they didn't intend to waste any feces at all!
Just as Zhu Zhan felt that Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji were stingy, the priest opened the toilet and looked at it. "This is good, I want one in my room too! It's so convenient! "
As he spoke, he looked at it even more carefully.
Even Zhu Zhan was speechless towards the priest!
Zhou Ji was very calm and let the priest look at it. He even said, "I have a lot of things that I need everyone's help with today. If you don't mind, you can eat here later."
Be it the priest or Zhu Zhan and the rest, their eyes all lit up.
The food that Zhou Ji cooked was really delicious, but it was a pity that it was hard for them to eat it!
Now that Zhou Ji was willing to cook for them … these people worked very hard and quickly moved all of Zhou Ji's and Xiong Ye's things over.
Zhou Ji didn't want some of the things in the cave, such as the stone pot, but he still wanted most of the things.
It wasn't easy for him to save up so much property.
Zhou Ji even got people to move the bed that he and Xiong Ye had slept in to his new home.
This was the bed that he and Xiong Ye had slept in, so he didn't want others to sleep in it.
After moving the things, Zhou Ji asked Xiong Ye to bring Zhu Zhan and the rest to clean up the courtyard outside.
This courtyard was prepared to be used for planting in the future. Since that was the case, the soil in the courtyard naturally had to be turned over. Some of the roots left behind after the trees were cut down also had to be dug out.
Previously, there wasn't much work to do when they moved, but now this work was really exhausting … But thinking that they would be able to eat Zhou Ji's food, Zhu Zhan and the rest felt full of energy.
And at this time, the priest brought Xiong Mao and Xiong Bai to help clean the house and light a fire for Zhou Ji.
Of course, the priest didn't work seriously. He followed behind Zhou Ji and kept asking, "Zhou Ji, what do you plan to do tonight?"
Zhou Ji said, "Make wheat oil frying."
What Zhou Ji planned to make was something that his grandmother often made for him when he was young. His grandmother called it wheat oil frying, so he called it that.
His grandmother usually made wheat oil frying like this — put a few spoonfuls of flour in a bowl, beat an egg inside, add a little water, salt, and some scallions, and mix it evenly to make a paste. Then, turn on the fire, brush a layer of oil in the pan, and pour the paste inside.
The paste could be rolled, so one could shake the pan or use a spoon to spread it thin. When one side was cooked, use a spatula to flip it over and fry the other side.
Usually, after it was done, it would be broken into pieces. It wasn't a whole piece, but it didn't affect eating. In fact, the food made this way tasted very good.
At that time, Zhou Ji liked this kind of food. Plus, it was easy to make, so he remembered it.
Now, he didn't have eggs or scallions, so he didn't use eggs and used another vegetable to replace the scallions — actually, he didn't need to use scallions, but he happened to have a kind of fragrant vegetable with him. If he chopped it up and added some, it should be very delicious.
Zhou Ji quickly made a lot of wheat oil frying.
Of course, he couldn't just let people eat this … He stir-fried bacon with chili, then cooked a pot of pickled vegetable soup, and stir-fried two vegetables.
Although Zhou Ji made a lot of food, there were a lot of people today … In order to avoid having too little food, Zhou Ji simply made a hot pot.
There were a lot of people and a lot of food. It was impossible to eat at the table, so Zhou Ji directly placed it on the floor of the dining hall.
No one had any objections. After those who had been busy the whole day came, they even felt that their day's work wasn't in vain.
These things were really too delicious!
Especially Xiong Bai, who immediately regretted after taking a bite of the wheat oil frying. "I thought that the fried barley was very delicious, so I actually fried all the barley that was given to me and ate it all!"
"It's okay." Zhou Ji said, "Even if you kept the barley, you wouldn't be able to make these."
