196 Chapter 196
There is no thermometer, but the skin can feel the temperature drop by at least 15 degrees in just ten days.
Yan Mo was trembling in the cold when she was in bed today, and it was useless to light a brazier in the room.
A few days ago, there were warriors who were not afraid of cold and were busy in the tribe wearing only animal skin skirts. In these two days, whoever goes out must first stand inside the door to cheer themselves up. Even the warriors who are least afraid of cold wear leather skirts. Changed to a long-sleeved, cross-necked, deep-jacketed fur coat.
This style of deep clothing, imitating the upper and lower skirts of Yan Mo’s mother country, the right gusset collar, the waistband in the middle, and the long sleeves made into a narrow mouth, is relatively simple and convenient to wear. It looks very angry and wears it. Yan Shi is also very windproof and warm. Once worn by Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo, it has become the most popular style of clothing in the tribe.
Yan Mo's body is not as strong as the original war. He also wore a pair of trousers under his deep fur coat. He also buttoned a large leather hat on his head to cover his bones and put on leather boots on his feet.
The leather boots were made by Sa Yu. He learned relevant knowledge from Yan Mo during the day and martial arts with fighters. At night, he learned to tanning fur with Ye Xing's grandfather, Ye Yun.
This child is not as flexible as Ye Xing, and without Wuchen calmness. He is still a bit irritable in doing things, but he has a temperament to talk about one thing, talk less and do more. He pondered this pair of leather boots for half a year until it snowed before he sent the boots to Yan. silent.
When the person arrived, he didn't speak, put his leather boots on Yan Mo's feet, blushed and turned around and ran, halfway through the run, and quickly turned around to salute.
Yan Mo bent over and picked up the boots.
Picking up this one, he found that the exquisite workmanship of these boots exceeded his expectations.
This is not a pair of casually wrapped in fur, but a good boot with a sole, a shoe upper, a forefoot and a forefoot, and the left and right sides are separated. It looks a bit like the mid-top military boots he drew. It is positive, but also decent. In order to make it easier to put on and take off, the boots are made into a front lace-up style, and the height is up to the calf.
This pair of boots can be sold at a good price even in the modern society of his predecessor. They are made by hand. The sole and the upper are stitched densely and firmly with needles. The sole is thick and layered. , And then stitched with needle and thread.
Looking at the thickness of the sole, don't know how the bear child penetrated the needle and thread without the awl.
A strange feeling rose in Yan Mo's heart, warm and a little bit sour.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect? Even a bad person will be moved, not to mention that he is not so bad that his conscience is eaten by a dog.
Take off your straw sandals, put your feet in, a little bigger, wear a pair of thick socks or stuff cotton in the front. It's full of warm hair inside, and don't want to take it out as soon as feet go in.
"These three little cubs are fighting openly and secretly. Don't be too kind to them. You should be used to them!" Another arguing for favor came, the biggest and most shameless one. The neck was gnawed.
Yan Mo pushed him away, bent over to tie his shoelaces, Han had warm leather boots from the soles of his feet, who would wear straw sandals?
Yuan Zhan squeezed him, and walked out barefoot, Yan Mo looked cold for him. But there are still many people in Jiuyuan who don't even wear straw shoes, and they can walk barefoot on the cold snow.
Are they cold? All of them said that they were used to it, and the soles of the feet were also practiced, thick enough to be used as shoe soles.
Halfway through Yan Mo's shoes, he suddenly took off one and held it up to take a closer look.
"Good boy!" Yan Mo Dale.
Yuanzhan turned around, what's the fun? Isn't it just a pair of leather boots? He also helps him warm up at night!
Yan Mo stretched his head and shouted to the guard Ding Fei: "Go and call Sa Yu back to me. I have something to ask him."
"What's wrong?" Yuan Zhan walked back.
Yan Mo was still laughing, "That kid found something incredible! He probably didn't care about it himself."
"What's a good thing?" Yuan Zhan looked down at the leather boots. He also admitted that these boots did a good job, better than he could imagine. At first glance, it was something made with heart.
Sa Yu came back very quickly, Ding Fei made a mess, deliberately didn't tell him anything, and kept his face straight. He didn't know why he was called back, a little uneasy.
There is no problem with the leather boots, right? Sa Yu worried.
What Yan Mo asked was really about the leather boots, but he was not saying that he did not do well, but that he was complimenting him. He was embarrassed to praise him, and his little face was blushing with blood.
Seeing that the little guy couldn't bear to boast, Yan Mo smiled and asked about the business: "When you make the soles, besides using needles and threads, do you use anything for bonding?"
Sa Yu gave an "Ah", nodded quickly, and asked anxiously: "My lord, isn't the thing I use bad?"
"Not good? No, very good, very good. I called you here just to ask you, what do you use to glue the layers of leather and linen for the sole?"
"Uh, you mentioned it to us in class. That day, a dwarf asked if the fish skin could be eaten. You said it could be eaten, and you also talked about the medicinal and other uses of fish skin."
When Sa Yu mentioned this, Yan Mo instantly understood what kind of adhesive the child used, "Did you boil fish skin glue?"
Sa Yu nodded, "You said that fish skin can be boiled into glue. This glue can stick to wood. I wonder if it can stick to other things besides sticking to wood. It's fun for a while, so Lara made me a lot of fish. skin."
Yan Mo knew that La Ruo, Jiuyuan could have a good start with the mermaid. It was the TOEFL friendship between the two minors and the little mermaid La Ruo. Later, Ye Xing and Sa Yu also played very well with La Ruo.
"How much did you cook? Are there any more? Have you noted down the specific methods?"
"One more thing, I gave it to Grandpa Yun. I remember the cooking method."
"Will you give the recipe to the tribe?"
"Yes! Of course I do!"
"Very well, I will give you a credit! No, I will give you two credits. It is a great skill to make the fish skin glue, and it is a small skill to make practical leather boots. All are converted into work points for you. If you want any rewards You can also mention it."
Sa Yu laughed, his back molars were exposed, and Yan Mo said that there was a reward, and suddenly he knelt down to him with a "puff".
Yan Mo was startled, what does this kid want to do?
"My lord," Sa Yu was a little excited, "Do you agree to any reward?"
"It depends on what you want." Yan Mo felt a little regretful, none of the three disciples seemed honest. But think about it when I first saw these three little ghosts, Ye Xing and Sa Yu were not good guys. They bullied the kids. Now they are much better than before. At least they don’t take the initiative to bully younger and weaker than them. People will not cause trouble again.
Sa Yu saw that Yan Mo still had a smile on his face, and immediately shouted: "My lord, I want to call you Master like Wuchen!"
Yan Mo thought about it for a while and agreed.
Sa Yu shouted, rushed forward on the spot, hugged Yan Mo's thigh, and howled: "Master! Master! Master!"
Stern Mo, who was full of the master's repetitive sound, endured it for a while, and saw that Sa Yu, the bear boy, was still howling, so he kicked him and left.
Sa Yu got up and chased after him, but this time he finally didn't jump up and hug his thighs again. He foolishly followed Yan Mo, only to see someone passing by, he must call "Master".
Within half a day, Ye Xing knew about this.
When the child heard that Sa Yu could be the same as Wuchen, he could call Yan Mo as his master with integrity from now on, he was crazy.
Ye Xing leaped forward and hugged his thighs not enough, and still cried out of breath. There was as much grievance as he looked like.
"I, I want, oh, why is I alone, oh, sir, don't you like me? I...wow!" The kid who played the most beloved disciple not long ago can't accept it. This strong blow made me cry so sad.
Yan Mo squeezed his paw a few times and wanted to punch someone. Seeing that he couldn't do anything with a little bit of his hand. Seeing that the child was crying, he couldn't help but yelled: "I took all three of you before. It’s taken in by the door wall, you just call out if you want to be master, who wouldn’t let you call? Get up, cry again, throw it out to feed the Iron Back Dragon family!"
"Ang!" The Iron Back Dragon family agreed outside.
Ye Xing really cried and sobbed. Hearing Yan Mo agreed to let him call Master, he was so happy that he wanted to scream, but still sobbing and starting to hiccup.
Yan Mo sighed, picked up the kid, and gave him two stitches.
After two stitches, Ye Xing didn't smoke or hiccup, and smiled with tears and called "Master".
Yan Mo rubbed his head and asked him to invite the person in charge of the tribe to the conference hall. The weather is too cold and the winter is long. Now that the conditions are good, it is natural that we can no longer rely on hard work.
The conference hall was empty, and Yan Mo chose a room that could seat twenty people as the conference room. A brazier was placed on the four corners of the wall. Two torches were placed on the wall. The doors and windows were closed tightly. The room quickly became warm.
Yan Mo frowned when he looked at the slate hung on the wall. He thought he had done a good job, but when the winter really came, he realized that there were still many unsuccessful ones.
The first is protection from the cold.
Although the stone-brick house is strong, it can be said to be warm in winter and cool in summer, but it also depends on the outside temperature. The temperature is too low, and the room is as cold as the water in the bedroom can freeze into ice. Last year, everyone squeezed to sleep together.
Yan Mo thought of Kang and Earth Fire Dragon, but he only knew that there was such a thing, he didn't know how to do it, and he didn't even know how to give directions.
And whether it’s a Kang-burning or a ground-burning dragon, there must be a stove and a flue, but the chimney of the house they build now has been left, but the stove is not.
Yan Mo also thought about the oldest kind of kang, burning a fire directly under the kang, and then the family slept on the kang.
Next is the house lighting.
In order to resist the cold, everyone put down the animal skins on the windows, and blocked the wooden boards. This is not airtight, but during the day the house becomes as dark as at night, and you have to put a light on to see things. It is convenient to do things, and it hurts the eyes.
The last thing that caused Yan Mo's headache was related to the Yuanji tribe. Their priests even offered to enter Jiuyuan for the winter, but Chief Hao agreed and came to the door for this.
They said that they will not live in vain, but will work for Jiuyuan like a dwarf or exchange food for them, just to live in the next spring. In addition, the old priest also suggested that they did not want to live in the outer city with the dwarves, but wanted to live in the inner city.
Ha ha!
"My lord." The leaders of the tribe arrived one after another, and some came in groups.
Yan Mo nodded back to them and motioned to them all to sit down.
The last one of the original battle arrived. Seeing that the people in the room were almost the same, he strode to Yan Mo, pulled the chair away and sat down, and said directly: "One by one, starting from the ugly, it will be difficult to solve you or you want to Tell all the things."
Dahe kept guarding by the door, seeing that everyone had arrived, closed the door with his backhand, walked to stand behind Yan Mo.
Xi cleared his throat and mentioned the issue of soldiers' winter training.
Yuanzhan looked at the other fighter leaders. Hunter and several others said that if the food and medicine are enough, they don't want to waste a winter. It is better for the fighters to conduct daily training.
"Does anyone have an objection to the soldiers' winter training?" Yuan Zhanhuan took a look around.
No one spoke.
"Then even if this issue is passed, there will be no special circumstances in the future. Soldiers must maintain a certain amount of training throughout the year, whether they are ordinary soldiers or blood soldiers." The original battle shot the case.
"Yes!" The leaders took the lead.
"next."
The one sitting next to Gui was Hunter, and Hunter shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to mention.
Yuan Zhan looked at Meng on the left of Hunter again, and immediately raised his hand, "I have something to mention."
"Say."
"I hope the tribe can set up a scout team to be responsible for reconnaissance and letter delivery." Regarding this point, Meng had already discussed this with the two largest leaders of the tribe. Both Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo indicated that the scout team was necessary. .
Today, this matter was brought up for public discussion, just to select the players and decide who is in charge of this team.
They all knew the importance of scouts. After Yan Mo called on them several times, they paid more attention to scouts, and they suddenly proposed to set up a scout team, but no one opposed it. Even if they insisted on selecting elites from various fighter regiments to enter the scout team, none of them said they were unwilling.
As for the leader of the scout team, it is tentatively determined to be Meng.
The original warrior waved his big hand and decided: "In the future, the fierce fourth fighter regiment will be changed to a scout regiment, and a scout team will be established under the regiment. It is mainly responsible for reconnaissance and letter delivery.
Yan Mo interjected: "There are also expeditions and intelligence gathering. The scout team must not only be fast, but also have good eyesight and other abilities. It is best to fight independently."
When he treated a certain army commander, the uncle told him that the scouts in ancient times were the ancestors of special forces, and that even the best soldiers could not be scouts. Sometimes the scouts would go deep into the enemy camp.
"Next!" Yuan Zhan looked at another person.
Things were decided one by one, and finally it was Yan Mo's turn.
"Don't you sleep cold at night?" Yan Mo asked everyone with a smile.
Everyone laughed together, and the lively people shouted: "It's cold, why isn't it cold? It freezes when you pee on the ground."
Yan Mo smiled, it's not enough to bring wooden sticks when going out to pee, but it will be sooner or later. Last winter, there were a lot of things, filling the stomach and building the city were the first two. A lot of hard work was largely ignored, and the severe cold was one of them.
"Last year, it took five months from the falling snow to the weeds germinating. In other words, it was winter for half a year here. Apart from lighting the pot in the house, what other good ways do you have to protect yourself from the cold? . Let me talk about one kind first, this is what I overheard from my ancestors, and I don’t know the detailed method.” Yan Mo mentioned the fire kang and the earth fire dragon, and explained their benefits and simple principles.
Even if other people are clever, it is difficult for them to come up with any good ideas due to lack of knowledge. On the contrary, the discussion about heated brick bed and Earth Fire Dragon is in full swing.
"If we can walk the flue directly underground, we will sleep directly on the ground, it will also be warm."
"I just don't know what to do with the flue, but I think that the Kang that burns directly underneath is pretty good, simple and no trouble."
"It's Fei Chaihe. There is a small wood next to us, but there are so many dwarves, and there are people from the Yuanji tribe in the past small woods. Everyone has to spend the winter. How much firewood can we pick up? Pick up wood in the forest far away?"
"You can let the soldiers go, just as training."
"The forest is far away and dangerous. Don't forget, there are still people inside. What if the warrior who goes in to collect firewood encounters groups of people?"
Talking, everyone quarreled.
"Boom." Yuan Zhan knocked on the table and everyone immediately shut up.
"Prepare in two hands. Who of you is interested in making kangs and flues, wait to find me or silently, if there is no one, we will designate one to be responsible. In addition, starting tomorrow, Dashan will be responsible for building one for each household. For the Tukang that burns directly below, apart from the leader, other fighters with the ability to control soil must cooperate with the mountain.
"Yes."
Yan Mo also agreed that making the fire-burning kang is currently the fastest and most effective means of keeping out the cold.
"As for the firewood, first collect it from nearby. If you want to enter the forest, I will discuss with the priest."
"Yes."
"One more thing, Yuanji..."
"Bang bang!" A sharp knock on the door sounded, interrupting Yan Mo's speech. Yan Mo and the others looked towards the door.
Only a guard outside the door yelled in a hurry: "My lord, my priest, the people in the watchtower have an urgent matter!"
