From wilderness to palace

Chapter 26 The roof is still missing!
Standing in the oak forest where he had been once before, Liu Yaozu, who put down his backpack, didn't have time to rest and started working immediately.The wooden house to be built this time is larger than Shelter No. [-], and naturally requires more materials.

Fortunately, when Liu Yaozu inspected this forest, he found that there were a lot of fallen dead trees here. In addition, there are many miscellaneous trees in this jungle. It is naturally not a problem to find all the materials to build a wooden house.

Unlike Shelter No. [-], which used a rocky cliff as a wall, Shelter No. [-] was built this time with four trees of average size.The middle position of the four trees just forms a zigzag shape, which is suitable for building a shelter.

With the trees felled to serve as the frame, Liu Yaozu began to build the main frame of the shelter.In order to ensure that the shelter is strong and secure, he first dug a straight ditch between the four trees, and then put a sawed tree pole in it.

On both sides of the buried tree pole, the stakes for fixing are knocked down.After doing these things, what Liu Yaozu needs to do next becomes relatively simple. He only needs to saw the tree trunks of the same length, and then superimpose them on top.

It didn't take long for the first wooden wall made of logs to be erected.Tie the piles that were laid earlier to the big trees that act as pillars.In this way, the firmness of the wooden wall is further improved.

Looking at the first tree wall built, Liu Yaozu was also very satisfied and said: "Yes, compared with Shelter No. [-], after the completion of this wooden house, not to mention the larger area, the firmer is also higher, it should be usable. Longer!"

As for the gap in the middle of the tree wall, it is not too late to fill it with moss after the wooden house is built.What Liu Yaozu has to do now is to erect the remaining three tree walls, and then build the more difficult roof.

Unlike Shelter No. [-], which built a flat sloping roof, Liu Yaozu planned to build a triangular roof this time.Although the amount of work has increased a lot, Liu Yaozu feels that it doesn't matter if it takes a little more time.

He always felt a little unsatisfactory building small shelters all the time.In contrast, building such a large shelter will also make him feel more fulfilled.He reserved four days for himself on this trip to the mountain!

As the last tree wall with a portal was built, Liu Yaozu also began to think about how to build the roof when he walked into the shelter surrounded by the tree wall.After some consideration, he decided to build a flat roof first.

"Considering the thermal insulation factor, if the roof is too empty, the thermal insulation effect will actually be reduced. If there is a flat roof, and a triangular roof is built on this basis, an attic can be left."

After comprehensive consideration, Liu Yaozu decided to build No. [-] Shelter into a 'Taiwan'-shaped structure.Keep the attic design, and you need to store some things in the future. Putting them in the attic of the shelter should be more conducive to preservation!

Thinking of the need to build a platform, Liu Yaozu used the miscellaneous wood he felled to make a wooden ladder in advance.It is impossible to build a roof without making a wooden ladder.Working at such a high position naturally requires the use of wooden ladders.

The finished wooden ladder is leaned against the tree wall, and the fallen dead wood sawn from the tree is also carried onto the platform one after another.After building a frame on the roof with a few pieces of hardwood with grooves, Liu Yaozu moved the sawn pieces of wood onto the roof.

Fortunately, he had considered this issue before.Compared with newly felled wood, it is used to make tree walls.These sun-dried woods are easier to carry.Working directly on the platform is more convenient for sawing the wood that has been felled before.

Keep a window that can be boarded on the platform at any time, and seal up all other positions.Although the miscellaneous wood is not as tight as the wooden planks, if you stand on it, you can still feel the stability of the platform.

Looking at the specially reserved window, Liu Yaozu thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow, I will make another sliding window here. If you don't go up later, there is no need to expose this window. When necessary, use the stairs to go up to the platform from here. "

Seeing that the sky has darkened, I know that the roof may not be well built today, so I can only leave it until tomorrow.Fortunately, depending on the weather, there should be no rain tonight.Even so, Liu Yaozu still spread the asphalt felt on the platform.

Simply press it with miscellaneous wood to avoid being lifted by strong winds.If there is linoleum, even if it rains at night, you don't have to worry about being caught in the rain while sleeping in it.As for the roof and the smoke vents of the heating furnace, they will naturally have to wait until tomorrow to build them.

"At night, it's better to build a temporary stove outdoors, there's no need to make it too delicate."

Liu Yaozu, who had done all this well, thought of the arrow stove that he had seen in the video on the Internet before, so he also wanted to try it.Find a thick dry tree stump, split it into three large pieces of wood, and then cut off the wood in the center.

Seeing that the center of the tree stump was hollowed out, and the three cracks could also be filled with air, they were re-bundled and fixed, and placed in the cleared space in front of the shelter, Liu Yaozu also began to try to light a fire and light the arrow stove.

With the help of thin tinder and twigs prepared in advance, stuff them into a wooden arrow stove and burn them.When the stake in the center of the arrow stove is also ignited by the flame, the entire stake begins to become a stove, and a non-stick pan is placed on it to start cooking dinner.

Compared with a simple meal at noon, dinner is much richer.Frozen fresh beef with ice cubes, fried and roasted in melted butter, will soon emit a tempting aroma.And next to the bonfire, Liu Yaozu was also boiling water.

Considering that at the foot of the miscellaneous forest, there is a small stream, which is full of clean mountain spring water. Liu Yaozu, who brought water storage tools, naturally filled a pot and brought it back.Washing vegetables, cooking, and even simple domestic water are completely sufficient.

For today's dinner, besides fried steak, Liu Yaozu also prepared some noodles.The flour is raw, wait for the kettle next to the bonfire to boil, mix the flour directly with hot water, and then knead it into a dough that can be fried.

Because he started practicing physical training, Liu Yaozu also found that his appetite was much larger than before.A three-pound piece of beef with ribs and a large plate of fried dough would be his dinner tonight.This appetite is quite large!

But in Liu Yaozu's view, isn't it normal for young people to eat a lot more?Although he ate a lot tonight, he also did a lot of work during the day.Although the shelter has not yet been completed, the amount of work today is not small.

For someone who doesn't know carpentry, it would take a lot of effort just to cut down and search for these woods.Now that the prototype of the shelter has come out, just build a wooden bed for yourself after eating.

The materials and hay for making beds, he had already prepared in advance when collecting materials in the afternoon.It won't take much time to continue working on these things after dinner.And these scenes of doing things were also recorded by the camera.

In order to prevent netizens who watched the video from thinking that he was wasting food, the entire meal process was also recorded.A bite of beef, a bite of fried pancake, and boiled mushroom soup were all wiped out by Liu Yaozu in the end.

"Well, I'm still quite full tonight!"

Compared with vegetarian food, Liu Yaozu now needs to supplement a certain amount of meat every day.Beef appears to be more nutritious than pork or other meats.Because of this, he bought some fresh beef before going up the mountain.

Keep it in the refrigerator and put it in a crisper before going up the mountain.Although it can't be kept fresh for too long, you don't have to worry about the beef going bad in a day.As for the food for tomorrow, it will take some time to find it.

The best prey is undoubtedly the brook fish in the creek below the mountain.The tools and ingredients needed are all in his backpack.As for whether it can be obtained, Liu Yaozu thinks it should not be a big problem.

If he really couldn't get the brook fish he expected, then Liu Yaozu would spend his time looking for some edible food in the mountains.As long as he is willing to take the time to find it, he thought to himself that in the mountains, it shouldn't happen that he would go hungry three times a day!
