Seiun wo Kakeru

Tania is going to be admitted to the dispensary, and Age's day living alone is very busy.

When I wake up with Pai Dawn, I start by burning the remnants of the fire that are about to go out.

White ash was carefully collected so as not to fly.

As well as making soap, this ash is used in various products, including dyeing and tanning, such as wool shrinkage, as well as fertilizer in the field.

In ancient times, in the Middle Ages, it was like an all-purpose consumable.

Then Age brushes her teeth with the water she had stored in the bucket the day before, washing her face.

Transfer new water from the barrel and light the pan.

Then head to the field and start harvesting before the sun fully rises.

In winter, you can harvest cabbage, carrots, vegetables like Cole Rabbit and Trevis.

Although there are only a few that can be harvested in snow-covered conditions.

Hurry up and pick what needs to be harvested, and leave what is still early in the day.

When vegetables are also dug up from the soil, the freshness drops from that time on.

As there is no refrigerator either, the need for preservation should be kept to a minimum.

Hurry back to the house and there is plenty of water in the pan.

Chop in the onions that were hanging there and the carrots from the midst of filling the large jar with sand, chopping the cabbage that has just been harvested, and throw in the rabbit's incensed meat.

Simmer in the vanilla that was being dried and carefully crease the ash juice that appeared on the surface of the gutsy and boiling pan.

When you make sure the fire has gone through tightly, stir the charcoal to weaken the fire.

Because the fireplace is used in combination, but it doesn't need as much firepower as it does when cooking.

Eat according to the vessel.

Rabbit meat tastes pretty good by nature because it doesn't smell as good as it does toothpick.

But no matter how much I put my hands on one meal, it wasn't as tasty as the food I would eat with someone.

At the end of the meal, we move on to caring for livestock.

Collect livestock manure, laid straw, leftover hay, etc. with forks and throw this into the compost yard.

The compost is naturally heated and fermented even if left alone, but it needs to be stirred to incorporate fresh air from time to time.

New straw is laid on the floor and fresh water and vegetables such as hay, mulch, and meat are fed.

Tania usually manages two bovines and four boars.

Not having to simmer even during the winter months was due in large part to the four-wheel farming method.

This was a very big problem, and not only would the number of births increase afterwards, but since there was no need to kill them before winter, fresh meat, which was not rotten, could be procured at any time.

Finishing the meal, taking care of the livestock, Age then starts cleaning the house.

Unlike gas, it's burning charcoal, so the ashes really dance.

Remove dust and ash from the heights with stirring, sweep and clean the floors.

Open the door for air replacement, but it's cold enough to tremble.

Wear completely cold proof clothes and clean indoors.

I started the bed and wiped the details off with a wet cloth.

If you keep this up for a few days and clean every corner, you'll also be able to welcome Tania.

Until now, it's the least Age should do every day while she lives alone.

If I have a job, I'll go to the blacksmith from here, and when I'm done with my job, laundry, cooking is waiting.

Because they are too busy, most of the time the disciples prepare their meals or Jane splits their dinner.

In addition to that, in welcoming Tania, a maternity woman, Age had some new things to do

When I was running errands, I just had a visitor, and Age stops her hand.

I already asked you to come.

"Hey, Age. What do you want?

"Hey, Fell! Nice of you to come."

"Whew, what's that frank way of talking? You're so unusual, you're so disgusting."

"That's terrible. Aren't you familiar?"

"That doesn't suit you."

Fernando looked so disgusted, he still turned right and showed signs that he was going to turn back.

Shit.

I am completely alert because I have asked for all the hard work I have had so far.

Prepare the tea, close the front door and seal the exit route.

I'll make sure you listen to me for now.

Maybe, but Fernando followed this recommendation.

Jesus, why do you have to go through all this trouble to do one favor?

Tell her Tania's coming home for tea.

"Oh well. Well, it's normal to slow down at home."

"So, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to set up a little environment and come back to Tania and Liberto."

"... I see. I know exactly how Age feels. So what do you want me to do?

"Yes, I'd like to ask Fell to turn it into a stone floor."

"Ha!?

"Can't you?

Home is completely earthly.

Beat, tread, very stiff tread, but dust still stands when cleaning, etc.

To maintain cleanliness at all times, it would be better to lay down a sheet or stone.

Age initially thought of all the wooden construction, the floor, the columns and the walls.

But a wooden home in a European climate doesn't seem to last long.

I can hardly think of a house like a Japanese house that will last decades.

Most houses in villages today are made of wood, but several are pressed by the need to rebuild each year.

In the future, stone or brick construction will be the focus, even if it will take some effort or just part of it.

Fortunately, Age is one of the village executives, and he runs a blacksmith, so he's quite wealthy.

If so, it was true that I wanted to be attentive to the environment around me.

But Age's purpose was not appropriate.

Fernando shook his head to the side.

I wonder why.

"No, no! I'm a carpenter. I'm not the one who uses that kind of stone, but the masonry. Stay here!

"It's the mountains that want to do that..."

"What, is there a problem?

"I built an automatic stone-cutting device in a waterwheel cabin, and they mistakenly took my job away from me. I haven't been very trusted since."

"Oh, it's a device where the saw will cut the big stone automatically if you secure the stone with that all-powerful force. It's very convenient."

"That's why I asked you once, but you turned me down. Fell is the only one I can count on. Please."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I hear you made a brilliant one when you went to Nazioni."

No matter how much Age asked for it, Fernando showed no sign of snorting.

Kechi.

I have no choice, so I switch the job I ask for.

I have as many jobs as I want a good carpenter to do.

"Then put a door between the front door of the house and the livestock room"

"Door ah? That's good, but why again?"

"It's a hygiene issue. Say to avoid livestock hair, manure, germs, bugs, that sort of thing... you don't get it, do you?

"Uh, I'm not sure again. You're putting out your knowledge... oh man, I get it. It's a carpenter's job, so let's just make it."

"Thanks Fell, I love it!

"Damn, it feels good"

"Well, in addition to that..."

When Age orders some more, Fernando's face turns into a flashing object.

Come on, man. I'm pissed off.

I promise to add a little and give you the reward, and I'll manage to convince you.

It's become a more painful expense than I thought, but this will make my life even more comfortable.

I look forward to completing it.

Seeing Fernando return to work to prepare for the remodel, Age also begins her own work.

First, I borrowed Dog Sleigh "Snow Sleigh" from Mike.

Actually, I've been practicing a little bit since before, but I'm not used to it yet.

Dog sleigh can be as fast as forty kilometers.

Age's driving skills threaten to tip him off at a fast speed, and he's in a state of being scared and having him run slowly.

Sitting in his seat, he checked his position and pulled the reins.

The sleigh runs refreshingly over the snow without any loud noise.

In the world of silver, the scenery changes less, even at less speeds, making it look like it's moving slower than it actually is.

But as painful as the cold wind blowing on his face, fortunately, he never mistook the speed.

It was worth the dog sleigh and was able to travel amazingly fast.

What we have arrived at is a waterwheel shed that was previously built with the help of the villagers.

Cut off the big rock you want here.

Fernando told Age he could also do masonry work.

However, even if it can be properly shaped, it is a very difficult task to create stone slabs of equal thickness with fleas and beautiful sections.

That would already be the world of skilled craftsmanship.

Some hands use saws, but this also takes a lot of time to make a single tablet.

That was where the waterwheel cabin came in.

There were people in the cabin, and the water wheel was already in use.

The roaring sound of the water wheel echoes.

Despite the cold weather this winter, the river used for the water wheel was fast and abundant, so it never froze.

Well, who are the users?

I hope I'm not the kind of person to occupy it for too long.

From the power of one water wheel, multiple flywheels and the like are used to distribute power and be able to work, but naturally the efficiency is reduced when used at the same time.

By the way, the compartment had become divided depending on the application used.

"Hello -"

"Hello, Age."

What was inside was an awakening beauty, Adele.

The water wheel was used to work on shrinking the yarn.

By the way, shrinkage is a method of beating after being soaked in water containing alkaline ingredients such as soap.

"It's unusual for Age to use this one"

"Yeah, I had a little errand to run. Can I use it?

"Go ahead."

"Thank you"

Adele is also busy at work.

Keep your eyes on hand and continue the conversation.

"Speaking of which, I'm renting your husband from today"

"Really? You work with Age a lot."

"Yeah. Blacksmiths and carpenters have been like sets for a long time... I'm sorry I put all the burden on you all the time."

"No. I can't help but go home a little late. Your job."

They called me ticklish, but as an age, I could only respond by leaking a bitter smile.

Given the amount of work Age has asked Fernando for over the past two years, Adele's response is ultimate.

Even if I don't go with modern times, the idea of bringing me a little closer to the standard of living I know has forced me to do a lot.

It's something that Fernando often follows.

I appreciate it. And speaking of gratitude, it would be only with Adele to support that Fernando job, too.

"Thank you"

"... I don't want to thank you anymore, why don't you do your own job?

Thankfully, praising Adele for her work, she dyed her cheeks and turned that way.

Oh, man, I don't know how a woman feels.

Age turned to the narrow corner of the waterwheel cabin, where it had become a stone cutter.

Since dust and the like did not mix with other things, even inside the waterwheel cabin, this was the only place outside, separated by walls from other places.

That's why it's so cold.

This stone-cutting device consists of a pedestal and saw, as well as a sand-pouring device to replace the blade, and three main mechanisms.

Prepare the large stones that were piled outside the cabin on a pedestal with the center concave in a straight line.

Securing it at full force and positioning the flywheel, he moved the saw.

The saw keeps moving back and forth at a constant pace.

Unlike the saw cutting wood, the saw blade for stone cutting has a completely flat surface and no blade on it.

In the case of cutting stones, it is more correct as a phenomenon to cut them slightly with sand friction rather than with metal.

Every time the saw moves back and forth regularly, slight sand spills out of the friction area.

When the sand receptacle on the pedestal is captured, the sand is recovered and moved up again. A certain amount is then poured into the blade using vibration.

The saw, which had been cut to the end, remained hollow thanks to the dent, and when the blade fell to a certain point, the device was naturally stopped.

Complete automation.

In the meantime, Age evenly shreds the convexity of the stones piled outside.

To flatten the surface of the stone, it is easy to clean it after taking several stages.

There are also various tools for this, such as Bishan, Tagane, Hatsurinomi and Koyaske.

Essentially, it is first roughly even, from which it moves to a fine shaping with a large number of blades.

This time the main one is only for the saw, so the age sharpening was done to an approximate extent, to the extent that it could be securely secured with all its might.

Adjust the cut stone to the desired thickness again.

The floor coverings that can be done are gently hung on fine eyed yasles and the surface is adjusted.

That takes a long time, and you can have beautiful flooring.

Making this material took much longer than actually laying it down.

Stone is naturally very heavy. When I try to carry it all at once, manpower takes me right to the limit.

For this reason, the sleigh was used to travel back and forth several times to carry the portion to be laid into the living space.

Fernando was surprised to see the floor coverings Age had prepared.

"Well if you do this job, you'll be on guard too... how much hassle is it taking?"

"Ah, haha...... If I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna have to do it."

"Out, it's a perfectionist statement.... Well, no, I could do this one too, look at that."

With that said, I have never seen Mr Fernando compromise at work either.

A creature that can't help but go for it, even if it doesn't get perfect.

I think that's the way of life, Craftsman.

Fernando reports on his work.

Age and Tania's house is about six meters deep.

In contrast, it is about twenty-four or five meters wide.

There is a wall to the right as soon as you enter the front door and residential space on the left hand side. The right hand side becomes the livestock room.

The part of the wall was equipped with a laterally open door.

As the others were aging, only the newly equipped doors were new and visible.

Age opens and closes the door to make sure she feels it.

Smooth movement, no sealing issues.

"Whoa, you're working fast"

"If I'd done Chintara, I'd have too many of your orders to get around to anything else."

"That's... then I was going to ask you. Let's do another job next time"

"I'd love to."

Fernando said with a cheeky look.

Well, what choice do I have?

If it's true, I was going to ask you to start replacing the walls from here on out, but it would be more convenient after Fernando started learning the brick method anyway.

"Then I need to put up the floor after this."

"Oh, you did. Well, I won't help, but I'll take a look at you. If there's a problem, I'll just point it out."

"It helps."

Fernando doesn't scrape stones, but the job of laying down floor stones belongs to the carpenter.

Age carefully leaves it in one corner of the house when she carries the floor coverings she was preparing.

One, side by side with the other, you can subtly make gaps.

Fill the gap gently with a wooden hammer, and still, when the shape is not right, shape it gently with a hazy flea.

Pompous and Fernando gave credit for Age's work, which he handily cleaned up.

"... at all, if I wasn't a blacksmith now, you'd be helping me with my job."

"I won't let that happen."

"It's a lie. This is the kind of guy who thinks about new products one after the other. I don't need to use them as a parent. Absolutely not."

"Too bad"

Well, it was a hopelessly futile assumption because I'm not going to quit my blacksmith job in any way either as an age.

Maybe even if I were reborn, I'd want to be a blacksmith, even if there was an afterlife.

"Okay, done!

"I think it's been a good job. You've barely even spoken out."

"No, it still made me feel easier just watching"

"Good luck"

Continue the work and finish laying the floor coverings all over.

The white gemstone looks sturdy, and walking on it doesn't freak me out.

We ended up building more floor stones than we had spared, so we had quite a few extra pieces, but we had a clean stone floor.

Come on, we're done. I'm ready.

And then we'll pick up my wife and son!

I found my heart rarely high.

Tania, still unable to move in earnest, was transported to the front of the house with a dog sled.

Turn your hands on your shoulders and hips and carry them inside the house.

"Wow, wow! It's so beautiful."

As soon as Tania walked into the house, she raised her voice out loud.

Is the expression because he has a smile that just shines and he sees such a mother, and Libert is also happy to raise his voice cackling.

"Wasn't it tough?

"Well, just a little"

"But can I live in such a magnificent house?"

"It's also a family of lords and a house where the village chief's grandson is done, so if it's too miserable a house, that's the problem, right?

"... hehe, right. Shall we do that?"

Seeing Tania happy, Age's heart is wrapped in something pompous and warm.

I felt quiet and deeply accomplished.

That's not like great joy. It was a twitchy, stained delight from the depths.

That extends from the back of my chest, all over my body, to empower my hands and feet.

Oh, yeah.

I was not very pleased with anything else, such as when my strength was recognized or when I gained power as a village executive.

More than that, when you see Tania smile, your precious family, your heart fills the most.

It took time, and collecting large quantities of stones cost a fortune, but in full return.

"Age......"

"Hmm...?

"Thank you. I love you, Age."

"... heh. Me too, Mr. Tania."

"I know."

"That's an odd encounter. Me too."

Laugh at each other.

From now on, my family was going to try to live happily ever after.
