Naturally, the students did not believe what Ren Yan said.
Can a house be built with a handful of branches and a pile of weeds?
Who are you lying to?
Can the thing built with this thing be called a house?
Can it be strong?!
Can people live there?!
Listening to the students' inner doubts, Ren Yan touched his chin and nodded:
"emmmm"
"To be precise, it can't really be called a house for the time being. It can be regarded as a straw shed at best."
"But even a straw hut is much more comfortable than your tent."
Ren Yan explained it again, but the students still didn't believe it.
Thatched hut, isn't this where poor people lived in the past?
There is wind leakage in winter and rain leakage in summer.
This thing can only be as comfortable as a tent.
In this regard, Ren Yan did not explain again, but directly started to do it.
The students looked on with a trace of confusion and curiosity.
Ren Yan's method is very simple.
First, a spire-shaped outline was built in the open space using branches.
Then use some softer branches to start layers of circles along this outline.
It didn't stop until the spire outline was built into a tower-like endoskeleton.
However, unlike the skeleton of the tower, Ren Yan also left two holes during the looping process, the upper one is smaller and the lower one is larger.
Ren Yan pointed to the two holes and said to the students: "The upper one is mainly used as a window."
"And the lower one is the door."
"As for the method of leaving two holes in the ferrule, you should have seen it before."
"Just use vines to bind it directly, but this method is not very beautiful."
"If you want something more beautiful, you can choose a mortise and tenon structure."
"This structure is a method often used in ancient times in our Dragon Kingdom. Its principle is to achieve the purpose of fitting through ingenious wooden structures."
"Some of this method is also called Luban Lock. It is a reflection of the wisdom of our people in the Dragon Kingdom and a traditional skill that has been passed down for thousands of years."
"As for the method of making it."
As he spoke, Ren Yan took out a book from his waist and threw it directly towards the students of Class 9.
"You can read this book."
The students were startled and subconsciously took the book. Looking at the names on the cover, they said in confusion:
""Detailed Explanation of the Mortise and Tenon Structure of the Dragon Kingdom"?"
Then I opened the book out of curiosity.
What catches the eye are various exquisite wooden structures, as well as the principles and methods of their implementation.
After reading it twice, some students thought the book was somewhat interesting.
At the very least, the things mentioned above really have a unique beauty.
After flipping through two pages, they suddenly felt something was wrong.
Aren’t we learning to build a house?!
Why did I suddenly turn to reading again?
"Teacher Ren, you are mixing in private goods!"
The students raised their heads and looked directly at Ren Yan:
"Can I take a test on some music scores?"
Ren Yan touched his head in embarrassment and coughed twice: "Ahem, professional habits, professional habits."
After saying that, he continued to compete with the straw shed without blushing or heartbeat.
"Then what happens after the general framework is completed?"
"It's time to fill it in."
"At this time, we need to use these weeds."
As Ren Yan picked up a handful of dry weeds again, the students in Class 9 also sighed and put aside the book "Detailed Explanation of the Mortise and Tenon Structure of the Dragon Kingdom".
I will read this book later, but now it is more important to see how Teacher Ren builds the straw shed.
"Remember, when filling with weeds, at least two layers are needed, and the inner layer must be filled with dry weeds. This is mainly to prevent mosquitoes."
"If you really choose to use grass for the inner layer, then you will be bitten to death by the night."
With that said, Ren Yan began to cover the weeds.
His speed is not fast, he makes every step as detailed and slow as possible.
The purpose is to let students know how these weeds are covered.
Weeds are no better than canvas, just cover them and that's it.
It needs to be bundled into a bunch in advance, and then slowly piled on top of the previously set wooden circles in an overlapping manner.
Because the intervals between the wooden circles are not very wide, the bundled weeds can be placed safely on them.
Then use fibrous plants such as vines to pass through the weed clusters inside and outside to tightly connect them with the wooden circle and surrounding weeds.
In order to achieve a better fixation effect, Ren Yan used three vines in each row of weed clusters: the upper, middle and lower vines for fixation.
As for the empty space originally left, it has been directly reserved.
After this set of processes is completed, the previous tower-shaped wooden frame has completely changed its appearance, and it already looks a bit like a weed house.
Not only is it quite beautiful, but it also seems to occupy a large area. It can indeed be regarded as a good building to protect against wind and rain.
Looking at this thatched cottage, the students couldn't help but feel a little lost.
There is something in my heart that is eager to try.
This thing does look more fun than a tent.
Yes, until now, students still think that building straw sheds is more fun than useful.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
After all, the current straw shed can only be regarded as a semi-finished product.
"Don't panic, it's not over yet."
Ren Yan pressed his hand to signal the students not to worry.
After that, the grass was bound to the weed house in the same way as before.
In an instant, the originally yellow house became green.
In line with the surrounding environment, a pastoral atmosphere comes to your face.
The students couldn't help but breathe quickly: "This thing is kind of pretty!"
The girls' eyes were full of little stars, and they could only clasp their fists in front of their chests and tilt their heads.
Originally, girls have a much stronger pursuit of beauty than boys.
Now that they see this kind of house, they already instinctively want to live in it.
Ren Yan continued to press his hand: "Stop your thoughts first, this is not over yet."
"The reason why it is covered with a layer of grass is entirely to prevent fire and waterproofing."
"Otherwise, if it rains, thunders, or sparks appear, the original house will be burned to ashes."
"Now with this layer of protection, it can be considered as having the basic functions of a house."
"But it's just a function of keeping out wind and rain."
"As a house, its most important function is naturally its living function, and when it comes to living function, how can it be without furniture?"
While talking, Ren Yan trotted into the warehouse that was now a dilapidated building, where there were still some semi-damaged furniture.
Without saying a word, Ren Yan ran back with a few small pieces of furniture and wooden boards.
Then he took a rusty hammer and banged it, and finally managed to restore the furniture.
