Chapter 156: Division Of Labor

Thirty seconds later, Xu Xiang put away the detector and took out an automatic drilling machine. Under her feet is a water spring. She wants to build a kitchen in this area because there is a river and a water spring underground. Although the river has dried up now, it will get better after a few rains.

After putting the transparent screen into the space, she adjusted the automatic drilling machine and turned it on. Her fingers tapped on the screen of the automatic drilling machine, inputing a few strings of commands to drill a well. After that, she touched the start button and a drill emerged from the bottom of the machine.

Taking a few steps back, Xu Xiang stood there watching the drill dig into the ground with a laser beam like cutting tofu. It didn’t take long for the machine to dig a hundred meter deep hole. Looking at the hole with a diameter of one and a half meters, she nodded in satisfaction.

Now, all she needs to do is smooth the walls of the well and it’s ready to use. As for the soil dug out from the hole, she put it in her own space for later use. They will need a lot of soil when they build the village’s wall in the future.

When Xu Xiang was inspecting the well that had just been completed, A Lu Da had arrived with thirty women. He was startled when he saw her standing by a well. He approached the mouth of the well and looked inside.

Looking at the muddy water inside the well, a look of disappointment appeared on his face. Xu Xiang glanced at him and said, "We can make a carbon filter to filter the muddy water. Although the water is muddy, it is safe to drink after being filtered and boiled."

A Lu Da’s eyes lit up when he heard Xu Xiang’s words. Thinking that she still had to prepare lunch, Xu Xiang said, "I will prepare the materials for three carbon filters for you. Can you make three carbon filters?"

A Lu Da nodded and said, "Yes. I have seen how you made the carbon filter before."

"That is good." She said as she wiped off her sweat.

Xu Xiang turned around and smiled slightly at the thirty women standing behind her. Seeing that more than half of them were from the Yishi tribe, she knew that most of the women from the Xiuluo tribe would help with other heavier tasks.

She pointed to the four light metal rods on the ground and said, "I just made a mark on the ground. The area inside these four metal rods will be the kitchen. Since we don’t have enough time to build the kitchen, you need to cook outside today. I will prepare the ingredients, and you do the rest."

The thirty women nodded after listening to her explanation. Seeing that it was not difficult for them to communicate, Xu Xiang nodded calmly. She walked away from the well, took out three long wooden tables from her space, and put the ingredients and condiments on top of the tables. After that, she took out a water tank filled with clean water and three simple stoves.

Knowing that these women couldn’t use her kitchen, she took out the simple stoves for them. The design of this stove is the same as those in the villagers’ houses. There is a hole under the stove for the firewood and a place to put the wok on top of the hole.

Xu Xiang looked at them and asked, "Do you know how to use this kind of stove?"

The women nodded, and Xu Xiang said, "You can use the woods and straws from demolishing the houses as firewood."

A woman from the Yishi tribe raised her hand and asked, "What should we cook now?"

Xu Xiang thought for a while and said, "Just cook whatever you can. If you need more cooking ingredients, just come to me."

The women looked at each other for a while, and then a woman from the Xiuluo tribe asked, "Can you teach us the recipes for those delicious dishes you made before?"

Xu Xiang didn’t answer her, but asked, "Aside from millet porridge, can you cook other dishes?"

The woman shook her head and said, "Most of us can just grill the meat from hunting, or cook millet porridge."

Xu Xiang touched her chin after hearing her answer, and thought: ’So... They can only cook millet porridge or simply grill meat. Then I need to teach them a few simple recipes.’

Seeing that she was thinking, A Lu Da and the women stood there silently. Xu Xiang was silent for a moment, looked at A Lu Da and said, "I will give you the materials for making the carbon filter first, and then teach them a few recipes."

A Lu Da nodded and said, "Mhm. You can put the materials on the ground. I will find some people to help me process the materials."

"All right." Xu Xiang agreed to his opinion, took enough materials from her space to make three carbon filters, and placed them on the ground not far from the well.

Seeing that A Lu Da had already gone to find helpers, Xu Xiang turned her head to look at the women and said, "I will teach you a few simple recipes today. Are any of you good at cooking?"

After she finished asking, ten women raised their hands. Xu Xiang looked at them and said, "From now on, ten of you will be responsible for cooking."

She looked at the remaining twenty women and said, "For the rest of you, you are responsible for preparing the ingredients, and cleaning the dishes and cooking utensils. Does anyone have any objections to this arrangement?"

The women shook their heads and remained silent. After Xu Xiang finished dividing the tasks, she said, "Can any of you go and get some firewood"
