Chapter 66 Winter 2
winter is here
In the morning, Lawrence looked at the frozen yellow liquid in the urine can and understood that the real winter moment had quietly arrived.
It will be colder and colder outside for a long time to come.
Whether they are animals or people, they become increasingly vulnerable as long as they stay outdoors.
A slight bump can cause fatal injuries, especially when working to build a house in the mountains, it is even more dangerous to die.
Building a house had to wait until the winter was over. Lawrence, who woke up from the cold, quickly got dressed, then picked up the urine can and continued to pour water.
It is not easy to pour the ice cubes out of the jar.
But you can wait until it melts a little before pouring it out.
There is ready hot water in the body.
Salil and Sophia hadn't gotten up yet. When Lawrence opened the door, he found that the snow outside had accumulated five to six centimeters, and his shoes made a squeaking sound when he stepped on it.
Near the area designated as toilets, Lawrence used a wooden stick to draw a circle designated as the new sewage area.
The snow has already buried the previous cesspool, and it has only been one day before it can be frozen solid inside. It would be very dangerous to step on it at this time.
When I was at the farm in Telandaho City, I heard that someone fell into a manure pit in winter and died.
There is no way to verify whether it was due to freezing or being smoked to death, but this is really something to pay attention to.
Lawrence suddenly knew what to do next.
"Let's make a urinal for Sophia and Salil, but I really don't know how the ancient chamber pot was made. It seems to be a teapot structure, right?"
Lawrence was in trouble. The chamber pot looked like a man. Of course he didn't need an instruction manual, but a chamber pot used by women...
We have reached the blank area of knowledge!
"It should be about the same, right?"
Lawrence quickly relied on his rich theoretical experience to fill in the gaps in knowledge.
Currently, there is no shortage of fuel or food. I spend most of my time indoors in the winter, and I don’t want to spend a lot of time sleeping, so I naturally want to do some work that can improve my happiness.
Lawrence quickly went back to prepare.
Saryl and Sophia were already awake and preparing breakfast.
Seeing Lawrence come back, Salil reminded: "Lawrence, you don't need to feed him too much food in winter."
Lawrence knew that as long as the sheep did not starve to death, he would save some money in all aspects during the winter because there was no need to work.
"Okay." Lawrence said, "It's very inconvenient to pee in winter. I'll make you a urine bucket so you don't have to worry about the cold."
Salil said directly: "No, we have a wooden basin."
Lawrence smiled and said: "It's not a wooden basin, it's a jar that can be used under the quilt."
When Salil heard this, she looked disgusted.
“Do Southerners pee in their beds?”
Lawrence had successfully damaged the image of the Southerners, and now defended it: "No, I came up with it myself."
At this time, I can only take credit for myself.
"The problem is not solved directly in bed. In winter, when you get out of the bed and urinate on the ground one meter away, you will be frozen for more than a minute. This time is not short in winter nights."
"If you use a chamber pot, you can first put it under the bed, and then put it in the bed to align it when you use it. After finishing it, put it under the bed and you can sleep comfortably."
Salil's face was still full of disgust, "I don't need it, and I hope you don't let Sophia use it, otherwise I will be very uncomfortable if I pee on the bed!"
Saryl stared at Lawrence with a warning look.
Lawrence reluctantly gave up, "Okay, then I can use it myself, I won't force you."
Thinking about it carefully, Lawrence suddenly felt that even if he was a civilized person, he would be a little uncomfortable hearing something like a chamber pot, let alone Sariel, who loves to be clean.
Normal people would reject this thing, right?
Unless you're shivering from the cold at night, escaping back to bed within a few seconds after falling to the ground, and then you can't hold it in any longer, you'll try this for the first time.
No matter what Salil and Sophia thought, Lawrence, who couldn't go out because of the snow and wind, still made a chamber pot for himself.
In fact, Lawrence didn't know how to use this thing at first, but he knew its general shape.
After making it, I quickly learned how to use it without any teacher.
"It turns out it's for lying on your stomach!"
There are also many disadvantages, that is, it is not easy to use this thing under normal circumstances, and incorrect posture will cause you to reject this watery environment from the bottom of your heart.
But be prepared, after all, it is an exclusive item for cold areas!
Lawrence thinks that even though this thing is not popular among girls like Sariel, it is not popular among older people and middle-aged people, especially those who have excessive use of kidney function and frequently get up at night, five or six times a night. It will definitely be very popular among this kind of people.
It just so happens that these talents are representatives of the aristocratic group and a symbol of the wealthy.
Young people have great bodies and strong firepower, so this thing is not for young people.
"Make a few more and sell them in the town next time I go to the market. I think I can exchange for some tools and clothes, right?"
Lawrence felt that the market prospect of this thing was very high. In addition, since he came to this world, he had not found any similar substitutes, and there were no similar dogmas and rules prohibiting it, so it was very marketable.
In fact, most savages are not that clean-minded. Eating, drinking and urinating in the house is normal.
It's just that some people connect part of the house to the pig pen to feed the pigs indirectly.
Lawrence quickly collected the soil and burned several chamber pots of different styles next to the fire. The most important thing was that the positions of the spouts were somewhat different.
If it is too simple, others will make it by hand, so Lawrence tries to make it more exquisite and polish it smoother.
Sofia and Saryl knew what Lawrence was up to and didn't interfere with him.
Lawrence didn't like playing backgammon, and Salyl and Sophia played it all the time.
One day, two days, three days passed.
Lawrence quickly found two playful girls.
"You two, stop playing all the time and take some time to knit some sacks for me. I need more sacks!"
Sariel continued to concentrate on playing chess and did not look at Lawrence at all.
"Lawrence, aren't you sleeping well? You can drink as much wine as you like at home. The men here drink to sleep. Your winter is busier than the bees in spring."
Saryl very much hoped that Lawrence could drink, sleep and eat like a normal man, and then be more stable.
Lawrence said very unhappily: "I'm going to Pumixiu Town to sell things the day after tomorrow. You can weave two sacks for me. I don't care what you do the rest of the time!"
Sophia stood up quickly, "Yes, Master!"
Salil showed an angry look and slammed her fists on the table, "Why do slaves exist? This world is so cruel!"
Lawrence was very speechless, but he still held it back. Anyway, it was not far away when Andrew came back.
