Thunder rumbled outside, and the torrential rain rushed south with the coolness of autumn.

Ning Fei looked at the stewed pork in the clay pot, sniffing the aroma while dozing off.

Today's cave has been completely remodeled and planned by him. The mud bricks made of dried grass mixed with mud divide the space of more than 200 square meters into four parts. The innermost room of [-] square meters is a storage room, which is made of bamboo and wood. A simple shelf is built of wood, on which are placed smoked or marinated dried meat, washed and dried seaweed bundled into bundles, processed and dried seashell meat, and hanging Bunches of mushrooms on a shelf.

These things are for the winter.

The storage room is separated by a wall from their master bedroom. There are several shelves nailed in the bedroom for storing daily necessities. The biggest place is the bed which occupies almost half of the bedroom.

Ning Fei originally wanted to dig an earthen kang, but because it was a cave, the smoke from the kang could not get out, so he had to give up.But this floor also cost him a lot of thought - a layer of gravel was used as the base to prevent moisture, and a layer of bundled bamboo rafts was laid on top.Bamboo rafts are hollow and have a strong thermal insulation effect, warm in winter and cool in summer.There is a thick layer of dry grass on top of the bamboo rafts, and several pieces of tanned wolf skins are rolled on the dry grass.

At this time, tanning leather was not as particular as modern times. Ning Fei just took out the fat film of the leather, soaked it until soft, and then continued soaking the fur with the liquid filtered from plant ash to degrease the fur.The water soaked in plant ash contains a lot of alkali, which is the most important thing for tanning.The soaked leather is dried in the sun again, kneaded and softened, and the dander is shaken off, and it becomes a fur blanket.Although it is not as soft as he used to be, it is better than nothing.

Opposite the storage room is a second bedroom, which is basically the same as the master bedroom.Originally, this second bedroom was reserved by Ning Fei for Ning Zheng, but the two of them slept together to form a "revolutionary friendship", and the second bedroom became a place to put leather and other sundries.

At first he planned to have two halls, but now he finds it troublesome.The remaining space of about [-] square meters was made into a hall.A firepit was dug in the middle of the hall, and round stones were used on both sides to build a circular firepit and a rectangular fire path.This fire path is used to roast some small animals, such as rabbits and wild birds, while the circular fire pit can be used for stewing and boiling water.

In fact, fire pits were also dug in the master bedroom and the second bedroom, but there was only a circular pit for heating in winter.

The floor of the entire cave was paved with stones brought back by Ning Zheng and some shells he had smashed open. It was very comfortable to lie on in the cold in summer, and even if it was cold in winter, it would be very comfortable to throw on hay and fur.And the ground made in this way is easy to clean and tidy, and it is also very smooth and beautiful.

When repairing the cave, Ning Fei did not forget one important thing, which was to cook salt.

A simple fire stove was built under the largest stone pot, and then the salt crust he picked up was placed in the medium stone pot, water was added to melt the sediment, and the clean brine on top was poured into the large stone pot.This job is simple. Although the big white cat failed to become a human, he will learn to hold the bamboo tube with his front paws and carefully pour salt water into the big stone pot.

Ning Fei wanted to laugh when he saw his naive look several times, but knowing that the big white cat had a strong self-esteem, he could only endure it hard, and hid in a place where he couldn't see, laughing silently and trembling all over.

Really... so cute! ! !

After the house was trimmed, the first barrels of salt had already been boiled out.

Although the salt grains that remove impurities are not as white and delicate as the future refined salt, they have largely removed the bitter taste.

Ning Fei was so happy holding the bamboo tube of salt, he wished he could cook a pot of broth on the spot.It's a pity that all the stone pots are occupied now, either soaking salt water or boiling salt water.At this time, he saw the unused mud next to him, and instantly remembered something.

pottery!

The mud is what he left over from drying the mud bricks. The gelatin is very good, at least the mud bricks after drying are very hard.

So, can they also be pottery?

Ning Fei's knowledge about pottery is only seen on TV, and he has never tried it himself.One is that there is no time, and the second... Of course, there is no time.In addition to training, they are training every day, or they are on missions.Watching TV for a while is already a break.

He couldn't distinguish the types of clay, but he could tell what kind of clay was of better quality.For example, the mud he dug from Tanshui's edge will not loosen after beating, and the surface will be smooth after molding, so it should be very good clay.

Pottery is more useful than stone tools, and he also remembered that pottery had already been unearthed in the Neolithic Age.

While thinking about how to make pottery in his mind, he dug a hole at the foot of the mountain not far away.This hole is big inside and small outside, and it is specially used for firing pottery.There is no turntable for making pottery, but there is a method that does not require a turntable!

He kneaded the clay into long strips of uniform thickness, and then coiled up the long strips little by little, smoothed the inside and outside, and finally made a pottery basin after wasting a lot of effort.With the finished product coming out, Ning Fei became even more motivated.

Ning Zheng was tired of cooking salt, so he came to watch Ning Fei make pottery.He also tried to rub the strips, but unfortunately his claws were not in control, and what he rubbed out couldn't be called mud strips at all, but was like poop in pieces.This made him very frustrated, he felt that he was so old that he couldn't do anything well!

So he ran into the mountains in a rage, caught a little wild boar and came back.

The two ate a full stomach of roast pork at night, and ate up a half-sized wild boar.

Ning Fei rubbed his chin and sighed: Pork is still delicious...fat but not greasy, tender and delicious!

Ning Fei carefully put pots, pots, bowls and other messy pottery into the cave dwelling after drying for one night and one morning.In the cave, a layer of firewood was laid first, and after the pottery was placed, another layer of firewood was built on top of it. Ning Fei drilled out of the cave, threw the lighted torch into it, and when the fire inside started to blaze, he used Stone and mud sealed the hole, leaving only a blowhole.

Ning Fei didn't remember how long it took to burn the pottery. He watched the fire in the cave go out, and waited another hour before breaking the mud at the entrance of the cave.

There are more than ten blanks in a kiln, but only one pot is intact.The pottery bowl was burnt to pieces, and the pottery basin was also cracked.

But anyway...

Anyway, there is a clay pot to use! ! !

After half a month of groping, he finally figured out the time for firing large and small pottery.Now there are five clay pots of different sizes, a stack of clay pots and a pile of clay bowls in his cave.Some of the pottery bowls were also pinched by Ning Fei with kitten's footprints on them viciously. These are Ning Zheng's special bowls, also known as cat food bowls.

"After this rain, it should be autumn." Ning Fei picked up a bamboo spoon and stirred it in the clay pot a few times, tasted it, and then filled a large pot of venison mushroom soup for Ning Zheng.In fact, he was worried that he and Ning Zheng were cats, and they would lose their hair if they ate too much salt.However, after eating during this period, the coat is smooth and slippery, so it is estimated that it will not affect it.

Ning Zheng blew into the cat food bowl.

"Starting from tomorrow, we will officially collect food. This job is very difficult. Comrade Ning Zheng, the organization is up to you." Ning Fei also filled a bowl and drank it.The broth was so hot and delicious that it was tongue-in-cheek!

Ning Zheng didn't say anything, he just stretched out his paw and touched Ning Fei's knee.

In fact, he was very happy in his heart, he was finally officially assigned a job, happy!

It's autumn, and Ning Fei is finally going to officially start harvesting the wheat in the space.

He now has earthen pots for wheat, or worse, crooked rattan baskets.The main reason is that he was worried that if he didn't do anything again, if the space suddenly disappeared when he became unhappy, it would be over.It is precisely because of this that he would rather put all the food in the storage room than rest assured that they are in the warehouse of the space.

Harvesting wheat has a sickle made of shells, which is very sharp.The wheat threshing and wheat drying factory is placed on the open space where pottery is made, and it has been tidied up by myself for a long time, and the ground can be used after drying after the rain.The wheat grains are smashed and dried. Although there is no tool for removing the husks, the husks can be removed by rubbing. He has plenty of time to compete with these wheat grains.The husked wheat grains can be mashed in a stone pot. It doesn't need to be compared with the white flour he ate before, but as long as it can be cooked.

As long as he can eat, he is satisfied!

Summer is over, with one rain and one cold, the air gradually dries up.

The fruits in the space were also harvested. Ning Fei dug out the taro and piled them directly into the storage room. Most of the apples, pears, peaches and hawthorns were sliced ​​and dried on the boulders beside the cave.He also made a scarecrow to keep the birds from eating the fruit slices.He packed a few baskets of fresh fruit and put them in the storage room to eat at any time, and the other part was put in the space warehouse just in case.

The rest, it's time to harvest the wheat.

Although Ning Fei grew up in a poor family when he was a child, he grew up in a town, and he basically only watched others do it when it came to harvesting wheat.However, he has also been a soldier, and his body coordination is absolutely leveraged.Except that I was not very proficient at the beginning and almost cut off my hands and feet, but then I slowly increased the speed.

After working all day, I only harvested two acres of wheat.The only thing that makes Ning Fei happy is that after the wheat is harvested, the land directly returns to a fertile field, just waiting for the seeds to be planted.

The next day was a sunny day, and the drying yard was completely dried out.

Ning Fei piled bundles of wheat on the drying yard. He made a simple wheat threshing machine out of wood and bamboo, and then beat the wheat on the threshing machine with the bundles of wheat in his arms.Ripe wheat grains were thrown into the lowered bamboo tube and slid down into the bottom pottery pot.

Ning Zheng watched for a long time, his nose was irritated by the falling wheat husks, and he sneezed several times.

Ning Fei laughed wildly. He tugged at the palm coat he was wearing, thinking that fortunately I was prepared first, otherwise I would have to be like that stupid cat.

When he laughed halfway, his joy turned into sorrow, he sucked the wheat husks in his mouth, and coughed up tears.

Ning Zheng rubbed his nose, and silently passed a bamboo tube of water.

Ning Fei blushed instantly, he...he is not as sensible as a cat.He patted the big white cat's head vigorously, "Good boy, I will never laugh at you again."

Laughing at honest people will be punished!
