Orc Targ

Chapter 6

Jiang Yu took the bale of cotton to the yard. The cotton was pressed together for so long and some tangled together. Jiang Yu recalled the general process of spinning and sighed.

The picked seed cotton must be dried in the sun first, and the cotton seeds are removed to form raw cotton. There is no machine here, so it can only be done by hand. After seeing the excitement of cotton at that time, Jiang Yu was not so confident.

Fortunately, there is some sunshine during the day, so you can take it out to dry first. Jiang Yu spread the cotton as flat as possible in the yard. After spreading it, he sat on the side, picked up some seed cotton and observed it in his hand. Since the plants of Jakalan are relatively Large, cotton fibers are also somewhat longer than those on Earth.

But he can't judge the variety by visual inspection and hand feeling. What is certain is that this is a kind of white cotton with high specific strength, milky white, long and thin single fiber, which is very advantageous in terms of raw materials.

I just don't know if I can spin the thread myself.Jiang Yu curled his lips, the cotton seeds of this cotton are also relatively large, it would not be too troublesome to remove the seeds, at worst it would take more time.

Maybe now he should be thankful that he studied an unpopular major in college. Every time someone asks him, what major does the young man study?After Jiang Yu said "textile engineering" with a straight face, the other party would definitely say words such as textile worker Weaver Girl in the next sentence. This embarrassing situation continued until after he started working.

However, textbook knowledge is theory after all, and what he did after graduation was foreign trade documentary, so he doesn't remember these things in detail.

Sitting in the yard for a while, feeling that there was no strong wind outside, Jiang Yu randomly pressed two stones on the corner of the seed cotton and went to the kitchen. He still remembered the green vegetable and millet porridge this morning, and wondered if he could find any other ingredients.

Next to the stone stove in the kitchen is a stone platform of the same height. The stone platform is hollow, and food can be processed on the top and things can be placed on the bottom. The stone platform was empty last night, but today there are several kinds of vegetables and fruits piled up.

Jiang Yu imagined that Tag must have woken up very early today, prepared vegetables and fruits, cooked porridge, and asked Lieer for clothes. Thinking of these, he smiled gently, took out several dishes, and found some dried chili peppers inside. A jar of powder and salt, a few spring onions and garlic sprouts.

Jiang Yu estimated the food intake of the two of them, washed two enlarged eggplants, a bunch of mushrooms, one melon, and washed a few green peppers, cut them up and put them in a bowl.

Looking back, he saw that the washing water in the morning was still there, so he soaked the clothes he changed today in the water, and then took the big green leaves to scrub. The clothes were summer half-sleeves. Remove the leaves from the clean water of the washed vegetables and pour them into the washbasin.

After washing, he realized that he didn't know where to hang it. There must be no clothes hanger now, a clothes hanger?This is easy to do, you can try to let Tag make the simplest one.

When Jiang Yu came out with his half-dried clothes in his arms, Tag came back, but this time the prey was brought back in its entirety, Tag didn't change back to human form, and there were four or five beasts on his back, Jiang Yu asked curiously , "Tag, don't you have to deal with the prey by the stream today?"

Tag put the prey on his back in the corner of the yard before turning back into a human form, and said, "My house is not far from the bank of the Seine, I'll just wash it later." Jiang Yu said "ah", "Then... Is the water very troublesome, do you want to save a little?"

"I'll fetch water back soon, Ayu, you can use it if you want, don't worry about the water problem." Tag smiled foolishly, feeling that there was one more person living in the house, and his body was much stronger.

Jiang Yu looked at him helplessly, and pretended to be affectionate again. If he knew it, he would have washed his clothes with water from the big melting tank, and he was still so tight.The big melting tank is a water tank. The kitchen is two and a half people tall. Most of the containers here are made of a kind of metal, which the orcs call melting.

"Okay, I've washed and ordered, and I'll cook at noon."

Jiang Yu looked at Tag's expression of wanting to agree but struggling, and laughed, "I can't do nothing, but it's up to you to deal with the skinning and bloodletting of the prey. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat until evening."

Tag went to the river to deal with prey, and it took about half an hour to come back. Jiang Yu went to the kitchen to study the stove. Fortunately, when he was at Grandma Shi's house, he used a big stove to cook.

However, he was not used to cutting vegetables in the morning. Although the stone platform next to him was flat, he was used to wooden chopping boards. If he had time these two days, he must find some wood from Tag.

But what about the millet I saw this morning, I didn’t find it after searching around. The ingredients just now can be fried for two dishes. There is no spatula here, so I can only use a spoon instead.

Oil can be used to deep-fry fat meat, soy sauce, vinegar and monosodium glutamate should be free, Jiang Yu has no choice but to finally understand what a clever woman is... No, a clever man can’t cook without rice.

When Tag came back, Jiang Yu quickly went up to him and asked him where the millet was. Tag took him to the warehouse. There was half a bag of millet in a leather bag in the warehouse, and there was actually a small bag of rice beside it.

Jiang Yu looked at the rice mixed with rice husks and was about to cry for joy. He hurriedly asked if tag rice was very precious. Tag shook his head. Females often drink porridge. These plants are more common outside and are delicious. Storage, so there are many booths for swapping.

Jiang Yu smiled proudly when he saw Brother Mi, because there was still porridge in the morning, he heated up the hot porridge and made a home-cooked dish, braised eggplant in soy sauce, stir-fried pumpkin with oil, mushrooms and vegetables with diced meat. Soup, plus a spicy fried pork slices.

He burped quite satisfied, and seeing that Jiang Yu was full, Tag ate all the leftover vegetables and meat, not even wasting the soup.Seeing that he was satisfied with the food, Jiang Yu felt much relieved, I still have some use, at least I can cook a meal.

After eating, Tag insisted on helping him wash the dishes together. The two of them worked together in the kitchen, washing one and wiping the other. As for the dishcloth in his hand, Jiang Yu pinched it. It was a kind of thorny coarse cloth. The raw material for weaving was a kind of plant root. It is very tough, but the touch is rough, and it really can't be worn as clothes.

"Tag, what are you going to do this afternoon?"

"I want to take you to the central square in the afternoon. I want to talk to the patriarch about your settlement, Ayu. I also want to make you two clothes and buy some things. Is there any place you want to go?"

"No, but I feel that there are many things to do. I can't do it alone. I want your help if you have nothing else to do."

"Of course not busy, Ayu, what do you want to do?"

"Well," Jiang Yu said with a smile on his face when he thought of the things he wanted to buy, "I want to use wood to make a clothes rail, as well as tables and stools, but I don't know how to deal with the wood, I can't do it without tools. Cotton, I want to see if I can make a softer fabric. Is it too greedy, it is impossible for one person to do so many things well.”

"No, I'll do it with you, and everything will be done. After washing the dishes, I'll go chop some wood and come back."

"How to chop, do you have an axe?"

Tag was stunned for a moment, then replied, "There are claws."

"...Pfft," Jiang Yu was overjoyed, "Can I use my claws to chop wood into pieces or strips?"

"Well, my nails are very sharp, better than a melting knife."

Jiang Yu suddenly thought of the neatly split large firewood used for cooking, and felt that he had asked a stupid question again, and a black line was hanging from his head. Could it be that he fell stupid a few days ago?

"Tag, can we go to the central square in the afternoon and customize the tools we want with the melter? I just tell him what kind of tools I want, and ask him to help make it, is that okay?"

Tag is not sure, "Molds are needed to make tools, so I need to talk to Mo Ke first. Mo Ke is the owner of the blacksmith shop in the East District. If he wants to make new tools, he needs to make new molds first."

Jiang Yu thinks about it too. If this is the case, Tag will definitely have to exchange for more animal skins. He feels very sorry. He doesn't have any skills now, so he can eat whatever he wants, and what he can do, "Let's talk about it later. I don't know if it will work."

"It will definitely work, Ayu, don't worry, I'll cut down trees later, and when I come back, you can teach me how to make a rack for drying clothes."

Jiang Yu nodded, watched Tag go out and looked at the cotton in the yard. The sun was strong at noon, and the cotton had dried and fluffed up a lot, but it was estimated that it would take two days to dry.

Thinking about processing the wood in the yard later, Jiang Yu gently lifted the cotton and folded it into a long strip with several layers and placed it by the wall where there was sunlight.

It didn't take long for Tag to come back carrying a thick piece of wood, which was about two meters long, and Tag could fit around it with one hand.

Jiang Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him put the wood down from his shoulders. Tag shook his head, pulled him to his side with his free left hand, squatted down and put the wood down slowly.Jiang Yu patted his head, forgetting that his little strength would probably only be of no help.

Tag went back twice more, took two logs of similar size and put them back in the yard, Jiang Yu handed him a bowl of half-warm water to let him rest for a while.

Tag felt that he wasn't tired, but Jiang Yu's concern made him feel that chopping wood was worthwhile. After taking two big gulps of water, he asked a little strangely, "Ayu, did you boil hot water?"

"Well, drinking unboiled water often is not good for your health, and you just finished your work, drinking cold water is bad for your throat. If you have time, let's drink boiled water in the future." Jiang Yu explained.

People here only boil hot water to drink during the cold snow season, that is, winter. Although the environment of this continent is very primitive, drinking cold water is fine, but now is the new rainy season with a temperature similar to spring. It is better to drink warm water.

After confirming again and again that the wood would not cause damage to Tag's claws, Jiang Yu asked Tag to cut the first piece of wood into two, peel off the bark, and make five long sticks from the longer one. He took out the rope that he had brought back with him, and directed Tag to tie the four wooden sticks together in pairs, buried one section in the ground, and put the remaining one on top to form a triangle. simple drying rack.

After patting the solid wood, Jiang Yu felt very satisfied. After Tag was finished, he repeatedly praised him for being smart. Jiang Yu blushed when he said it directly, and explained to him that this is a method that people in his hometown came up with.

Jiang Yu took the clothes and trousers that had been washed in the morning and hung them up on the wall happily, um, I can make a big clip later, so that the clothes will not be blown off by the wind.

After finishing the simplest clothes-drying pole, Jiang Yu began to think about the problem of the chair. He should make a bench first. Unfortunately, there are no small nails, otherwise he can try to fold the ponytail.

When Jiang Yu was a child, he lived in the countryside with his grandmother. Many things in the village were made by men in his own family. Many of the tables, chairs and benches in his grandmother's house were left by his grandfather. They have been used for many years without breaking, and they are strong and durable.

Jiang Yu thought angrily, if he knew he would come here, he would learn more from the neighbor's uncle.

While he was thinking about preparing the wood with Tag, he realized that there was no pen. After thinking for a while, he asked Tag to take a bowl of blood from the prey, and use sawdust to draw mortise and tenon joints on the side of the wood. shape.

It was the first time for Tag to do this, and there were inevitably some gaps in the bumpy places, and the nails were a bit restrained due to the large claws, but it was finally done, but it was a little crooked.

Tage was afraid that Jiang Yu would be unhappy, so he quickly made a new one. With the experience of the first time, the second bench looked much better. Jiang Yu felt that Tage was really amazing.

The two of them tossed about this, and half of the afternoon passed, Jiang Yu dragged Tag to sit on the newly made bench, in the name of trying out whether the new furniture works well.Because people here are tall, the legs of the bench are a little longer, and Tagg feels quite comfortable sitting on it.

Jiang Yu cleaned up the wood chips and bark in the yard by himself, and ordered Tag not to help. Tag's comfort was gone in an instant, and his eyes followed his figure around, looking at him as if on pins and needles.

Jiang Yu laughed out loud like that, thinking that Tag is really cute.

The author has something to say: Mortise and tenon: It is a concave-convex connection method used on two wooden components.The protruding part is called tenon; the concave part is called tenon; various mortise and tenon are made in different ways and have different application ranges. They have the function of "joint" in the shape and structure of each piece of furniture.

When I wrote this, I went to see the structure of tenon and tenon. I think the ancients were really smart.
