Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

On the next morning, Cheng Mo looked at the book in his hand. Although there was no further progress on the matter of merging with the Salt Lake Tribe, Cheng Mo had already begun to study how to build a house.

The book said that the soil needed for making bricks is loess. Cheng Mo had seen this in the "Geological Report of the Bovila Mountains", so he took out the book and looked at it carefully. The book specifically marked where there was soil that could be used to make bricks. Cheng Mo planned to build a brick kiln in that place, so that it would be more convenient to transport the fired bricks back directly.

Cheng Mo did what he said. When he found Xiong Bo, Xiong Bo was knitting a scarf under the shade of a tree. After they came back from Cartaya, Kong Fu had already spun all the wool into yarn. However, because Cheng Mo did not teach them how to knit scarves before leaving, the yarn had been stored in a corner. Yesterday, Cheng Mo taught Xiong Bo how to knit scarves. Now he knits scarves while taking care of the children. His life is very comfortable.

"High Priest!" Cheng Mo called out from afar and put down Cheng Lingqu from his arms. As soon as Cheng Lingqu landed on the ground, he ran towards his little friends. A group of little cubs surrounded Cheng Lingqu and whimpered.

"Oh, it's Cheng Mo. Why are you here so early?" Xiong Bai put down the knitting needles in his hand. These two knitting needles were polished by Xiong Tai and made of fish bones.

Cheng Mo walked over and picked up the wool in the bamboo basket and touched it. The soft feel made him look forward to the finished product. He exclaimed: "This wool is really good!"

"Yeah." Xiong Bo handed over a piece of jerky and asked, "Would you like some?"

Cheng Mo waved his hand and refused: "I'm not hungry, High Priest, I came here to ask you to call a few people, and then we will go to the Boweila Mountain to build a brick kiln, and I plan to burn bricks there."

"Bricks?" Xiong Bai put down the dried meat in his hand and asked in confusion, "Why are you burning bricks there? Wouldn't it be better to burn them near home?"

Cheng Mo took out the "Geological Report of the Bovila Mountains" and pointed to the place marked with loess and said, "It's a bit far from us, and it's more convenient to transport bricks than soil."

Xiong Bo looked at the book curiously. He had never seen this book before. However, Cheng Mo said that it was better to burn bricks over there, so let's burn them over there. So he stood up and said, "Okay, then I will arrange a few people to go with you. How many people do you need?"

Cheng Mo thought about it and realized that the orcs were very strong, and they were short of manpower. They didn’t need too many people at the beginning, so he said, “Let Xiongtai bring two skilled people to help.”

Xiongbai nodded and said, "Okay, can I ask them to go there with you this afternoon?"

So after the discussion, Cheng Mo took Cheng Lingqu away. He also wanted to see how the potatoes he planted last time were doing. Ever since he discovered the potato seedlings, Cheng Mo had been waiting for the potatoes to grow. He dug out some of the grown potatoes and ate them, and prepared to save the rest for seeds.

Now is the time to harvest. Those potatoes are very tenacious and big in size. Seeing that Banmu likes to eat them very much, Cheng Mo planted a lot of them. Cheng Mo plans to dig some out today to have a look.

When they reached the vegetable garden, Cheng Mo asked Cheng Lingqu to sit aside and not run around. Cheng Lingqu obediently hugged the animal skin and nodded. Cheng Mo picked up the hoe and started digging.

Before he knew it, the sun was directly overhead. Cheng Mo dug out a pile of potatoes. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back to see that Cheng Lingqu had fallen asleep leaning against the bamboo basket.

Cheng Mo walked over and covered Cheng Lingqu with animal skins, then picked up potatoes one by one and put them into a bamboo basket. At this time, Ban Mu came over. It turned out that he came back from hunting and found that Cheng Mo was not at home. He thought that Cheng Mo should be in the vegetable garden, so he came over.

"Xiao Mo, you take a rest first." Ban Mu took over the work from Cheng Mo and started picking up potatoes. Cheng Mo sat aside and watched Ban Mu bending over to pick up potatoes and said, "I went to the high priest to talk about making bricks this morning. In the afternoon, Xiong Tai and I will go to the Bovila Mountains to make bricks."

Banmu said without even looking up: "I'll go too. I'm worried about you being alone."

Cheng Mo took off her shoes and shook them: "I'm not a child anymore, why are you worried?"

Banmu picked up the potatoes on the ground and walked over. His tall body blocked the sunlight. Cheng Mo looked up at Banmu's face. If someone who was not familiar with Banmu saw his expression, they would definitely think that this orc was angry. But Cheng Mo and Banmu had been together day and night, so he already knew what was behind this expressionless face.

Sure enough, Ban Mu squatted in front of Cheng Mo and said in an aggrieved tone: "Are you sure you can leave me alone?"

Cheng Mo smiled and pushed Ban Mu's shoulder, but unfortunately Ban Mu's lower body was too stable and he didn't fall. He said, "You are such a big man, but you are still so clingy. Even Cheng Lingqu is not as clingy as you!"

Ban Mu felt even more wronged. He turned his head and looked at the side without responding to Cheng Mo's words. Cheng Mo knew at a glance that someone was not convinced! So he rushed over with a smile, and Ban Mu hurriedly caught Cheng Mo; "Be careful, what if you fall down later!"

Cheng Mo threw himself into Ban Mu's arms and said with a smile: "No way!"

Ban Mu hugged Cheng Mo and took a deep breath. Cheng Mo smiled and pushed his face away and said, "It's all sweaty and you still smell it!"

"It doesn't stink! Xiaomo smells so good!" As if afraid that Cheng Mo wouldn't believe him, Ban Mu took another deep breath.

"Hahaha! Forget it! Come with me this afternoon!" Cheng Mo said with a smile, leaning on him.

So in the afternoon, the other three orcs were speechless when they saw Banmu sticking to Cheng Mo. They didn't know what was going on. Banmu had been getting more and more attached to Cheng Mo recently. When they went out hunting together, he would also pull others to talk about Cheng Mo, as if he would never get tired of it!

On the way here, Cheng Mo had already told everyone that they were going to build a brick kiln to burn bricks. Xiongtai thought about it for a while and knew what to do. The other two orcs still had only a vague understanding, so Xiongtai explained it to them.

They are very skilled in building brick kilns. After all, they also built the two kilns in Wind Valley. However, they still need Cheng Mo's guidance in firing bricks.

Cheng Mo directed Ban Mu to dig out a large amount of loess, which was then used by Xiongtai to make brick molds. The moist loess was placed in the brick molds to form bricks, which were then dried on the ground. The dried bricks were then sent to the kiln for firing.

The terrain here is high and the wind is strong, so the bricks dried quickly after a day or two of being blown by the wind. Cheng Mo led people to stack the bricks into the brick kiln one by one, then sealed the kiln door and started burning them. For fear that the fire would go out, everyone stayed at the brick kiln and dared not leave for the past few days, and there were also people guarding nearby at night.

After more than ten days of firing, the body was sintered. The fire slowly died out, and Cheng Mo asked someone to open the kiln door. At this time, there was still heat inside, and the air was full of dust. The temperature of the bricks was very hot. Cheng Mo quickly took out a fired brick and took a look. The brick did not crack, so it was hard enough.

Cheng Mo happily handed the bricks to everyone to see, and then announced: "We successfully burned the bricks out!"

Everyone cheered happily, and Xiongtai asked others to take out the remaining bricks inside, as they were going to continue making bricks!
