"Chang Xia, why didn't you say you like beautiful rocks before?" Nan Feng complained.

Chang Xia froze slightly, rolled his eyes, and replied: "I used to not even be able to get out of the tribe, at most wandering around the animal dens, how do I know whether the rocks are good or not?"

"...Chang Xia, do you like such small gravels?" Nuan Chun walked over, holding a few pieces of finger-sized gravel, which were colorful and beautiful.

"Cobblestone, I like it." Chang Xia said.

The edges and corners of the pebbles that have been washed ashore by the river all the year round have been polished and smooth. Holding each pebble in the palm of your hand, you can feel the warm and cold feeling. The value is not as high as that of jadeite, but it also makes Chang Xia's heart flutter.

"There are many such small gravels in Baihe, I'll pick up some more for you." Nuan Chun said with a smile.

Chang Xia said: "Okay, I will build a pool in the courtyard of the cave dwelling. The bottom of the pool will be covered with pebbles, and I will catch some beautifully colored fish and put them in."

The courtyard of the cave dwelling is going to be paved with stone slabs, so the cobblestone road is unnecessary.

However, Chang Xia was reluctant to waste the beautiful pebbles.

After thinking about it, she immediately thought of building a pool in the courtyard of the cave dwelling.

There are flower beds, but how can there be no pool?

However, if you want to build a pool, the flower bed should be built in a different way.

"Ha ha!"

Immediately, everyone laughed out loud.

Obviously, they were infected by Chang Xia's childishness, and couldn't help snickering.

Just because I like pebbles, I deliberately built a pool in the courtyard of the cave dwelling. Fortunately, the courtyard of Changxia's cave is spacious enough. If the animal dens from before were put there, it would not be enough for Changxia to toss about.

"Okay, I'll go to Baihu Lake to catch fish for you." Shen Rong promised.

He is happy to satisfy Chang Xia with such small things. What's more, Shen Rong is very willing to decorate his and Chang Xia's home little by little, which feels very fulfilling.

After playing around.

Everyone once again devoted themselves to searching for rocks.

During this period, Maple Leaf found another piece of fist-sized glass jadeite.

Chang Xia took the emerald with a happy smile.

When she had time, she tried it out with ordinary rocks to see if she could carve out some jade pendants or plaques. When Shen Rong took out the piece of glass jadeite, Chang Xia seemed to see the ice crystal grass of the Bird Clan.

Jade ornaments have undergone thousands of years of evolution on the earth.

The high price never fell.

It can be seen that the attraction of jade to people is absolutely amazing.

Chang Xia firmly believes that if the delicious food cannot impress the Niaozu, then the emerald jade in her arms will be the best choice.

In the end, Changxia Shenrong chose Snowflake Rock as the first choice for the stone slabs paving the courtyard of the cave dwelling.

For one, alabaster rock is hard enough to be ground into slabs for flooring.

Second, the color of alabaster works best with the cool gray of ironwood.

If other rocks are chosen, the colors cannot be as harmonious.

On the whole, Changxia does not want the stone slabs in the courtyard of the cave dwelling to take away the plainest color of the cave dwelling.

Snowflake rock is extremely strong, and quarrying it is not easy. However, this is not a problem for the orcs. Chang Xia chose the Snowflake Rock. Next, he needs to collect the Snowflake Rock and smash it into pieces to make equivalent stone slabs.

Unlike building a den, the requirements for stone slabs are higher.

"How to quarry the stone?" Chang Xia frowned, looking at the huge boulder in front of him, the snowflake rock is hard and suitable for making slate. However, in the Dusk Forest where there is no means of blasting, how to crush the rocks, and then polish the rocks into slates?

The courtyard of the cave dwelling has a large area, and the number of stone slabs to be used is not small.

At the same time, polishing a stone slab is different from polishing a stone pot.

"You turned Shen Rong into a beast and smashed it into pieces."

"Hey! Is this how the tribe quarries?"

After hearing Nanfeng's words, Chang Xia was shocked. She looked at Shen Rong in amazement. She had seen Shen Rong polishing a stone pot before, but Chang Xia had never seen the situation of Yadong quarrying.

She knows a fire cooling method.

It is to put firewood on the rock to ignite it for calcination, and then divert water to cool it.

One hot and one cold, the rock expands and bursts.

However, this method of burning fire and cooling consumes a lot of wood, and I am afraid it will be too late to do it now.

"Nanfeng, don't fool around with Chang Xia." Maple Leaf's hair was full of black lines, and he raised his hand and tapped Nanfeng Houshaonao twice, untied the animal bag at his waist, and poured out several transparent rocks the size of a fist.

Look, it's a bit like a clear white crystal.

"Maple leaf, what kind of rock is this? It looks so beautiful." Chang Xia blinked and asked curiously.

Up close, it looks like a fine diamond.

Looking at it, Chang Xia couldn't help reaching out to pick one up.

The rock is heavy, much heavier than it looks.

It's the size of a fist, and probably weighs dozens of kilograms. If Chang Xia's health hadn't improved, she probably wouldn't be able to lift this fist-sized rock.

"The cornerstone is a tool for quarrying stones. At the same time, it can also be used to polish stone tools. You must not underestimate these cornerstones. You need hundreds of beast skins to exchange for any one cornerstone." Maple Leaf explained. At noon, Kongshan came to her and said that Changxia was going to come to the rocky beach to quarry stones to make stone slabs for the courtyard of the cave dwelling.

Maple Leaf asked Elder Yami for these cornerstones.

Ordinary quarrying does not use the cornerstone.

The cornerstone is very precious, and the Heluo Tribe exchanged a total of ten pieces. After spending two yuan over the years, there are only eight yuan left, each of which is priceless. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth hundreds of beast skins. The Dusk Forest is not a beast like a jackal, a tiger or a leopard, and nothing else can be called a beast.

The Heluo tribe had accumulated for many years before exchanging ten cornerstones.

Excluding the two yuan consumed, there are only eight yuan.

"The fish clan is as stingy as the bird clan!" Nanfeng complained.

Nuan Chun smiled, held the twin cubs in her arms, gave them a few pebbles to chew on, and retorted: "The cornerstone is precious, so it's not surprising that the fish clan ask for a high price."

In the Dusk Forest, many orc tribes couldn't afford to exchange even a single cornerstone.

They can only quarry stones with their hands, so they can't even afford to live in animal dens. They can only live in caves or simple sheds built with tree and animal skins.

Not to mention resisting wild beasts, that thing can't even resist wind and rain.

The strong are always strong, and the weak are weak.

This is also an eternal law!

Hearing this, Chang Xia realized that the cornerstone was exchanged with the fish clan. At the same time, quarrying does not simply use violent blows to break it, but uses quarrying tools such as cornerstones.

However, how to quarry the fist-sized cornerstone?

"This cornerstone is amazing, how should I use it?" Shen Rong stepped forward and also picked up a cornerstone to weigh a few times. Bronze ware or manpower was used to quarry stones in the West Land, and it was the first time Shen Rong had seen such quarrying tools as corner stones.

"Chang Xia wants to guess?" Nan Feng urged.

Except for the twins, Chang Xia and Shen Rong didn't know how to use the cornerstone.

Nanfeng couldn't help but make a sound, wanting to see Chang Xia make a fool of himself.

On the side, Feng Ye and the others smiled and remained silent. Obviously, they also want to see if Chang Xia can guess how to use the cornerstone?
