From space to the world, it takes trillions of years
Chapter 30 Masons
Seven pounds and six ounces of silver fish were boiled into a large pot of milky thick soup, which made Chen Yu marvel.
The water comes from the well and is clear and sweet.
The crystal clear fish meat, paired with well water, stews out a rich and delicious aroma that fills the courtyard.
Chen Yu scooped out a shovelful and tasted it.
He only added a little salt and a few slices of ginger in order to preserve the original flavor of the fish soup to the greatest extent possible.
Almost all the condiments from the previous life are available in this world, except chili peppers.
Chen Yu can't eat spicy food very well, and he doesn't have any obsession with chili peppers.
But now that he hasn't tasted spicy food for a long time, he can't help but miss it. He will have to find a substitute for chili pepper when he has the chance.
It’s a pity that this silver fish contains almost no spiritual energy, otherwise it would taste even more delicious.
Chen Yu was thinking about digging a pond in the space in the future to raise some spiritual fish rich in spiritual energy.
But the area of the space is still too small, and the radius is less than six meters.
He felt that it was not enough to use all the land to grow medicinal herbs, and there was no extra land to dig a pond.
The space is constantly expanding, and Chen Yu had discovered this a long time ago.
The radius has increased from 52 feet at the beginning to 56 feet now.
In two months, the area of the space increased by about one-seventh.
However, the change in the area of space seems to be only related to the passage of time. When Chen Yu broke through the fourth level of Qi Refining, there was no change in the space.
You can consider building a pond in the yard. It is not a big deal to keep the caught fish in a water tank.
Ta Mei smelled the scent of fish soup in the yard, and hurried to the kitchen, giving Chen Yu a questioning look.
Chen Yu felt a little helpless, but he filled the can without hesitation.
Remembering that there were other animals in the yard, he served a bowl for the chickens and ducks respectively.
There was still work to do the next day, so Chen Yu entered the space to practice after dinner.
The small tree sways gently in the space.
Chen Yu also couldn't understand why there was a breeze from time to time in such a small place in the space.
The plants in the space can bloom and bear seeds normally, thanks to this breeze.
Chen Yu learned from Shopkeeper Zheng that there was no one in the town who specialized in making bricks.
The town has a small population and little demand for bricks. Most people are still struggling to make ends meet, so there is no need to build brick houses.
It is not realistic to transport bricks from other places as it is dozens of miles away from the county town!
When the six major families and the wealthy households in the town had needs, they would usually go to a small depression next to the Ji River to cook for their own use.
At some point the water of the Ji River deposited a lot of clay here, and the bricks fired from it are compact and easy to use.
After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Zheng, Chen Yu rode Tamei out of the town and came to the depression he mentioned.
This place is more than thirty miles away from Baimu Town, and the surrounding area is desolate.
In previous years, during the flood season of the Ji River, large tracts of land here would be submerged.
After more than a year of drought, the water level of the Ji River has dropped a lot. Not only has it not flooded this depression, but many of the plants that grew there have also died.
The townspeople never cultivated land here, and when they made bricks they often used local materials and cut down the few shrubs.
The empty depression was covered with withered yellow grass, which looked very much like the wilderness filled with refugees outside the town.
Not far away, there were traces of relatively fresh soil and wildfires.
The bricks used for the barracks built by the six major families not long ago came from here.
Chen Yu did what he said and left Ta Mei next to him, asking it to guard the jade bottle at all times.
The sun here seems particularly harsh, even though it is already autumn.
Taking out a shovel, pickaxe and other tools from the space, Chen Yu began to dig the mud.
The soil here was dark blue. With his Qi-refining cultivator's eyesight and perception, he could detect that it was rich in minerals, but he had no idea what they were.
The excavated silt is patted into rectangular blocks and placed in the sun to dry into shape.
The monks were quick at hard labor.
By noon, Chen Yu had dried the mud and dug a kiln for firing bricks.
Chen Yu put the jade bottle into the space and rode the Taximei horse back home to rest.
Let the sun take care of the rest.
Anyway, it is used to build a pool, so he doesn't pursue very high quality.
After dinner in the evening, Chen Yu put the clay into the kiln to burn.
This requires some time and patience. Generally, it takes more than one day and one night to burn bricks, and the temperature also needs to be controlled well.
For Chen Yu, cultivators have keen perception and are good at controlling temperature, so he just needs to stay here all the time.
The material for burning is these dry thatches, which are not resistant to burning but are sufficient in quantity.
Orange-red flames danced on the ground.
Chen Yu came to the river and admired the Jishui River at night.
Under the bright moonlight, the rushing river water seemed even deeper.
The legend of the clear water turning black left Chen Yu puzzled. As the river flowed before him, Chen Yu seemed to vaguely sense some slight rhythm.
what is it then?
He remembered that his previous incarnation had died in Qinghuan Mountain. It seemed that only cultivators with extremely strong cultivation had the ability to change the world like this.
Is the severe drought in the twelve counties also related to this?
The jade bottle was absorbing the moonlight, and was still being watched by Stephanie.
I saw it secretly chewing a mouthful of straw and immediately spitting it out.
This thing tastes like nothing. It's not as good as the medicinal herbs given by the master. Although it tastes bitter, I can clearly feel that it is good for me.
It was not until the morning of the third day that Chen Yu decided to open the kiln and take bricks.
Before cooling, Chen Yu poured some water on it. It is said that the bricks fired in this way will be green bricks, otherwise they will be red bricks.
A country courtyard would be more atmospheric if it were decorated with blue bricks.
When the bricks came out of the kiln, they were all green bricks.
A small number of bricks on the edge appear red, perhaps because they were not splashed with water or for other reasons.
It can be used as embellishment.
Chen Yu checked again to see if there was anyone around, and then put the blue bricks into the space.
Last night he deliberately harvested part of the wheat in the space just to make room for the bricks.
After cleaning up the traces of fire, Chen Yu took Ta Mei back to the courtyard.
As for the lack of cement in this world, that is not a problem.
Chen Yu took a small amount of silt and prepared to use it as cement for bricklaying.
Once heated with spiritual energy, the applied mud becomes the same as stone. If there were not so many bricks, he could complete the process of burning bricks.
In just half a morning, a large pool ten feet long, six feet wide and four feet high was completed.
There were still some bricks left, so Chen Yu simply built a small brick and stone hut for each of the chickens and ducks so that they wouldn't have to share the same space with Tamei.
I drew a bucket of well water and poured it down the drain; there was no leakage.
Chen Yuan filled the pond with confidence and put the small fish he had caught a few days ago into it.
Such a long time has passed, and the little fish is still alive in the small water tank.
This was thanks to the fact that Chen Yu injected a lot of spiritual energy into the water at the beginning, and also fed the fish with foods such as earthworms and vegetables that were rich in spiritual energy.
When the fish first arrived in the strange environment, they couldn't stop swimming happily.
Chen Yu took some more earthworms from the vegetable garden and threw them into the pond. The small fish rushed forward to grab the food, splashing water.
It seems that the fish’s new home has been completed today!
