Chapter 239 Teach everyone how to set up a tent

Everyone said it was delicious, but the adults only ate one or two and were reluctant to eat any more, leaving them for the children.

Qiao Ran didn't say anything after watching it, she just smiled with satisfaction, touched by the simplicity of this family.

During the lunch break, Qiao Ran went into the woods and brought back a large bag of ripe mulberries for the whole family to eat.

Since they had already bought enough food, everyone was on their way energetically. They didn't stay long when they encountered smaller towns and hurried all the way to their destination.

The Wang family and the Qiao Dewang family, who had neither food nor money to buy linoleum, were miserable.

If you don’t have enough to eat, you won’t be able to keep up with the team’s schedule.

Without the large pieces of newly purchased linoleum, I could only hold one or two small pieces of linoleum on my head when it rained. Half of my body was soaked by the freezing rain and I was shivering from the cold.

In the end, a few soft-hearted women in the village couldn't stand it anymore, and because they bought new tarpaulins, they gave them the somewhat damaged tarpaulins they had used before, so that the two families would not freeze to death or catch the cold.

On this escape route, if you catch the cold and don't get timely treatment, it's like waiting to die.

The weather is getting colder and colder. When resting at night, especially when it rains, the villagers know the benefits of Qiao Ran buying these expensive linoleum cloths.

On the day the oilcloth was bought back, Qiao Ran took the men to cut down some bamboo, wood, rattan, and some very flexible thatch and thin rattan, and taught everyone how to build a simple tent.

In order to facilitate disassembly and reuse, Qiao Ran taught everyone to set up the tent frame first, and the frame can be folded for storage or unfolded for use, which is very convenient.

When you arrive at the campsite, take out the folded tent frames directly from the horse-drawn carriage, ox cart, and cart and unfold them.

Pound four to six wooden stakes with one end sharpened into the ground steadily with a hammer or stone, and then tie the four or six legs of the tent frame to the wooden stakes and secure them.

Then, spread a thick piece of linoleum cloth on top of the shelf, tightly covering the shelf from head to toe, pull it tightly, and tie the four corners of the linoleum cloth to the wooden stakes.

A large tent that can accommodate a few or a dozen people is ready.

When going to bed at night, use the linoleum mat with patched cloth provided by the shopkeeper for free on the floor, and then put a cotton mattress on it, and you can lie down comfortably on it. It is moisture-proof, insect-proof and cold-proof. It is really comfortable.

"Young girl Ran is so smart! Why haven't we thought of such a good oilcloth shed?"

"How can your brain be compared to Ran Yatou? You will only work hard in farming all your life. Ran Yatou is a little fairy child who knows a lot!"

"Yes, yes! Of course I can't compare with the little fairy boy. Oh, we are so lucky! If Ran Yatou hadn't come up with so many good ideas along the way, we would have suffered a lot!"

"Isn't that right? Who can be as lucky as us? You can eat so much delicious food, hunt and make money, and live in such a good shed when you escape from the wilderness. How can this be like escaping from the wilderness? It is simply a blessing. !”

"Ran Ran is really the lucky star of our village! I have decided that wherever Ran Ran is from now on, I will follow her. I will be her fellow villager for the rest of my life! It is best to be a neighbor. I will follow her to enjoy the blessings!"

"Hahahaha... brat! What are you talking about? Ran Yatou will get married in the future, and she doesn't know where she will marry! Maybe she will marry someone from the city, and then she will become the wife of a wealthy family in the city. , how can you be neighbors with others? Go ahead and dream about your spring and autumn dreams!"

"I...I...then, I will go to her house and be a servant. Anyway, I can live a good life with her and drink hot food, and my life will be better than anyone else!"

"Look at your potential..."

The people in the village were laughing happily, and they were all grateful that Qiao Ran had brought them such a big surprise.

Originally, the road to escape was difficult, and it was even more difficult when it was raining or cold. Most people didn't know how to sleep and rest at night. After all, caves were not found every day.

However, because of Qiao Ran, their village took them hunting, sold the money, bought so much linoleum, and taught them to build such a convenient and comfortable tent.

Think about it, how lucky they are!

Someone asked Qiao Ran with great admiration: "Ranran, how did you come up with such a good idea? Is this a skill that only exists in the fairy world?"

Qiao Ran shook her head in a funny way: "This is just the inspiration I got from the porridge shacks at the gate of Shuimen County. When I saw the shacks they built, I was thinking, can we also build a shed that can't be blown by the wind? It can’t be caught by the rain or snow, so I came up with this tarpaulin shed.”

"That's it! No wonder you asked us to buy more oilcloth, and it should be thick. Sure enough, this thick oilcloth is very useful! Although it is expensive, it can keep the whole family from getting wet and cold, so it is quite cost-effective."

"Yes! I said Ran Yatou is smart! We all saw the soup kitchen shack, why didn't anyone come up with such a good idea? It's because Ran Yatou's brain works so fast!"

Everyone sighed for a while, and they all had to admire Qiao Ran's thoughtfulness. After looking at the several soup kitchen shacks at the city gate, they could think of such a good tent for camping.

The brains of these people together are incomparable! Can't compare!

Qiao Honglian, who was squeezed out not far away, was so angry that her face was distorted as she listened to the villagers' strings of praise and gratitude to Qiao Ran.

What's so great about it? Isn't it just a tent? If she had money to buy oilcloth, she could come up with this idea too!

Unfortunately, she could only be secretly jealous in her heart and never dared to challenge Qiao Ran again.

From that day on, every household in Qingshui Village, including the Wu Mansion, could sleep comfortably in oilcloth tents to protect them from wind, rain and snow.

Even the night watchers had small tents, so no one would get wet or cold.

Even the livestock can share a tent, and the horses and cows in the village and Wu Mansion can live in the tent to avoid freezing.

Only two families in the entire team had no tents and were sitting in the rain and snow wearing tarpaulins.

Yes, the first snow of the winter has fallen, and it’s coming in the form of sleet.

In fact, it's just snowing and the temperature isn't too cold.

But when it rains and snows, the temperature can freeze a person to death.

And there was no fire outside, but those big tents used a copper basin or a stone stove and an earthen stove to light a fire in the tent. Even after listening to Qiao Ran's words and opening the tent curtain to let in some air, there was no feeling. How cold it is.

But the Wang family and Qiao Dewang family outside were really miserable.
