Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

The next morning.

Everyone finished breakfast early and started working.

The tribesmen who were digging the cellar were even busier at work.

Finally, after two hours, we dug to the bottom of the two-meter hole!

The first thing to do is to sprinkle realgar powder and various powders that insects are afraid of or hate on all sides of the cellar.

This is what I asked the witch for.

You have to be careful of these snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Next, add a layer of sand or gravel to the bottom of the cellar to improve drainage.

The sand and gravel were collected by the females when they dug the pit, and now it just needs to be spread evenly.

Then, Sang Tian laid a layer of bamboo strips on top to prevent groundwater from seeping in.

At this point, it's time to build the cellar walls.

The walls of the cellar should be built with bricks, stones or concrete, and the thickness of the walls should be thicker than the size of the cellar.

Adjustments must be made to the size and depth of the cellar to ensure its stability and safety.

In addition, it is used to prevent insects, animals and so on.

After all, it's underground. If we don't build walls and insects and animals dig a hole into the cellar, the stored food will be in danger...

The bricks used were the ones used to build the stove.

There were still quite a few left, and during the autumn trade fair, the tribesmen made a lot more, which were neatly stacked up in the cave.

It's definitely enough.

The males climbed out of the cave and rested on the spot, drinking the hawthorn mulberry tea that Duo brought them.

After a while, he went to the cave where the earthen bricks were placed to move the bricks.

The cave was on the first floor, very close to where everyone dug the cellar.

The cave was filled to the brim with bricks, and one could not even step in.

The tribesmen began to move bricks from top to bottom.

There are so many of them, I don't know how long it will take to move them all. Fortunately, it's not far, otherwise it would be exhausting.

However, with more than 40 tribesmen carrying the goods in backpacks, their efficiency was quite high.

After two hours, about one-third of the cave had been moved.

Sang Tian asked his tribesmen to stop first.

Try building it first, and then move more if it’s not enough.

After all, she didn't know how much was enough. Anyway, it looked like they had moved a lot.

At this time, the people from Clay Beach also sent bamboo carts full of mixed soil.

Used to build walls. Sang Tian and Xiong climbed down the two-meter-long bamboo ladder to the bottom of the cave.

The female above uses vines to hang down the mixed soil and bricks.

Sang Tian demonstrated it to the males.

The bottom surface is covered with stones and bamboo planks, so there is no need to worry about that. The four large walls will be built with bricks.

Sang Tian planned to build the wall to the thickness of two earthen bricks.

The hole for the foundation had been dug long ago and was left there.

First, apply a layer of mixed clay at the bottom of the foundation pit, and immediately place the bricks horizontally on it.

Then, apply another layer of clay on its horizontal surface, and then put the second brick on it...

Then continue in this way, extending it to the left and right, and stacking it upwards until the entire earth wall is built.

It's exactly the same as the concrete and red brick walls.

There was also some hay crumbs sprinkled into the clay, which made it sticky enough, but Sang Tian still applied as much as possible, just in case. Solidity was the most important thing.

The males also learned from Sang Tian's method, which was actually quite simple. Then they started to get started.

This job is not difficult, but it is very difficult to do it well. And this job requires meticulousness rather than speed.

Ten females were left on top to hang materials down.

The rest of the tribesmen climbed down the ladder and built a wall in the pit.

Everyone listened to Sang Tian's words and began to work meticulously and carefully. Although the speed was slow, at least the results were solid and reliable.

In this way, everyone worked from morning to noon, and from afternoon to dusk...

Just like that, there is still half a wall left to be built...

It's okay, it will be finished tomorrow.

Then seal the cellar and install ventilation ducts and you’re done!

The tribesmen were indeed lucky these days. After feasting heartily, they all dragged their tired bodies back to the cave to rest.

Sang Tian took a quick shower and climbed into bed.

Soon, I fell asleep...
