Farming in the Beast World: I Lead the Orphan Beast Husband to Become Rich

With the addition of so much free labor, the cave that Lin Xi wanted was dug out in less than two hours.

She held the torch and looked around inside.

The cave was originally only about 20 square meters, but after being re-excavated, we can now enter it.

You can see that on both sides of the entrance, in addition to the original space, there is another space extending to both sides, which is six meters long and five meters wide.

This living and using space is sufficient for the time being.

After the cave was dug, Lin Xi could finally start building the kang.

The orcs helped move the stones that had been prepared to the location designated by Lin Xi in the cave.

Because the space inside was expanded, Lin Xi thought about increasing the size of the kang a little bit.

So when the orcs of the tribe were digging a cave, Lin Xi asked Wu Chen to prepare some more stones.

These stones have been polished beautifully by Wu Chen. Although the surface is a little uneven, they are basically in the shape of rectangular bricks.

Lin Xi squatted at the newly selected location for the kang and began to build the outermost wall of the kang.

She did not ask other orcs, including Wu Chen, to help with this work. At most, she only asked Wu Chen to help pass bricks and shovel some mud.

This is the kang on which she will sleep for at least the long winter. Compared to commanding these orcs who have never even seen a kang to build it, she trusts her own hands more.

Although it is slow, she tries to make every step as perfect as possible, so the kang will be stronger.

She didn't want the kang to collapse suddenly when she was sleeping soundly on it one day!

It would be better for the orcs to keep their first attempt at their own homes!

After enclosing a certain area with the outermost kang wall, Lin Xi built up the entire kang wall to half its height and then stepped inside.

She took the stone bricks from Wu Chen, and according to the measured joint points of the kang board, she placed each stone brick at the designated points and smeared mud on them.

After all the fixed points were found, the kang wall and the load-bearing columns inside were built quickly.

Just leave a fire hole on the kang wall, and then build it up according to the one below.

After completing all these preparations, Lin Xi looked at the mountain wall on the right rear side, where a chimney opening had to be dug out.

When Lin Xi was building the kang, Bai Nu, Wu, and a dozen or so orcs they had selected stood behind and watched what Lin Xi and Wu Chen were doing.

They watched it very seriously.

Knowing that Lin Xi needed to dig another hole in the cave wall, two orcs came forward to help.

Lin Xi didn't refuse this time. It was just digging a hole, which didn't require much technical skills.

She took advantage of this time to ask Wu Chen to bring the prepared kang boards one by one and put them on the kang walls and pillars.

After the flue on the cave wall in the corner was dug, the kang board was also put here. Finally, a thick layer of mud was applied on the kang board to make it smooth.

Here we are, one last step away.

Lin Xi came out of the cave, found the chimney opening, and then used the last remaining bricks to build a chimney around the chimney opening.

This completes the build.

However, if you want to sleep on it, you have to burn the mud on the kang dry and check the smoke flow in the flue.

Wu Chen brought in the dry branches that were usually prepared outside the cave, and according to Lin Xi's instructions, he stuffed them into the stove hole one by one, and then lit them with fire stones.

"Crack..."

The red flames ignited quickly. After waiting for a while, Jin Guang, who was standing in the crowd of orcs, sniffed his nose, suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted in surprise: "Really! There is really no smoke!"

When his voice fell, the other beastmen woke up one after another.

One of the orcs took a step closer to the stove, sniffed carefully, then turned around and shouted excitedly to the other orcs: "There's only a little bit of burning, but it's not choking anymore!"

The orcs in the cave immediately cried out in surprise. Soon, the orcs waiting outside heard the cheers inside and couldn't help but run in one by one.

When they saw the firewood burning in the stove and heard Jin Guang say that the firewood in the kang produced no smoke, they all became excited!

You know how hard it is to endure the cold and long winter!

Of course they knew that fire could keep them warm, but orcs had a keen sense of smell. It was okay outside their homes, but if they lit a fire in a cave or a shed, the smell of smoke from the fire would make it impossible for them to stay inside.

So every winter, they can only stay in their homes, minimize activities, and huddle together for warmth.

You know, even healthy and strong young orcs are afraid of the long winter.

The old orcs who lacked animal skins and the already fragile young animals could hardly withstand the severe winter cold, and many of them could not survive until the next spring.

But now, although they have not yet experienced whether the kang can really be that warm, at least they can light a fire in the cave, which is a big change for them!

It will take some time for the mud on the kang to dry.

But it's getting late now and it's almost time for dinner.

So Bai Nu drove away the orcs who were watching inside and outside the cave, and planned to wait until tomorrow to see the final effect of the kang.

But before he left, Lin Xi suddenly called him:

"Chief Bai Nu, although this kang has a good heating effect, it is still not recommended to build a kang in a wooden shed like the one outside, such as the one where Xue Tian's mother lives."

Lin Xi looked at Bai Nu who was lost in thought because of her words, and continued: "Because the wood of the shed is easy to catch fire. And the kang must be built against the wall of the house, otherwise the smoke will not be able to escape."

Lin Xi felt that it was necessary to make these hidden dangers clear, otherwise if something went wrong, it would not only be a disaster but also very troublesome.

"There is also the firewood in the kang. Every time it is burned, the ashes inside must be cleaned out. When sleeping at night, you cannot light a fire inside, otherwise the smoke will flow into the cave."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, Bai Nu and Wu looked at each other. The two orcs thought for a while, and Bai Nu nodded first:

"I understand. I will tell the orcs in the tribe tomorrow."

As he finished speaking, Wu suddenly spoke again: "Linxi little beast, besides the kang, do you have any other heating methods that can be used in the shed?

Lin Xi was stunned.

But soon, she shook her head again: "We can't do anything else, at least it's too late now."

She wanted to say that she could build a stone house, or dig a stove out of stones, but these were too much work and might not be feasible.

For example, even if a stove could be built, the heat that could be emitted through the stone would not be very great! Moreover, there was no way to set up the chimney on the stove, and burning firewood all day was even more troublesome.

Lin Xi looked at the disappointed expressions of the two tribal leaders, and in his heart he admired these two young orcs.

As the leaders of the tribe and the spiritual shamans of the tribe, these two young orcs really have minds and intelligence that surpass other orcs!
