Chapter 170 - Talk In The Kitchen
When the meeting ended and most of them left, Einar decided to stay with Seren because if they wanted to make the glass plates they would need a special machine.
"Very good Seren, in order to make the glass plates now that we have to design a special machine, although I understand the process we have to find a way to do it correctly.
First, we have to modify the furnace so that the glass mixture falls down a small steel slope, which will take it to a tin furnace where the glass will float.
In that place, we have to use water so that the glass does not suffer stress from the immense heat, while it floats in the melted tin it has to be taken to some rollers which will finish shaping it into a flat glass.
We have a lot and a little time to create some small prototypes, but I am a little concerned about tin, tell me what is a mine of that mineral near where we are. "
Seren smiled and patted Einar on the shoulder "Luckily we have a small open-pit mine near the tribe, it\'s just that we hardly use it as there is nowhere to use tin usually.
As for the prototype, you only need to draw it using plans and I, together with Gerd and Ibssen, will take care of doing it as quickly as possible.
Since I also want to see how those glass plates that you speak look like, by the way, I also wanted to thank you for the new house and workshop that you are building for us.
Viggo keeps telling me to thank you because we will have more space for ourselves and our children. "
Einar gave Seren a smile "It was nothing. You know well that all of you artisans are the source of our tribe\'s power.
If you are fine we are, too, but taking advantage of the moment I wanted to ask you if you have the order of leather clothes and tools that I asked for. "
Seren looked mischievously at Einar "It was not easy, but following all the steps you did just yesterday morning Viggo and I just made them.
They are not scratchy to the touch and will fit very well on Kassia and Helmi\'s skin, although since I\'ve been working on them for a long time I think I\'ll make one of those clothes for myself.
Only that I would like to tame stupid Viggo, I think that way he won\'t forget who\'s boss at home. "
Seeing Seren\'s evil smile, Einar started to laugh, and using his notebook he began to write down some things, while Seren watched with curiosity.
After a while, Einar finished writing and tore out those three sheets which he handed to Seren "There is a lot of information missing but it is a small guide on how you can play some sadomasochism with your husband.
When you do it correctly, you can discover a new experience as a family, who knows maybe you have more children in the process. "
Seren put away the sheets almost immediately, fearing they might get lost "Thanks for everything Einar, I\'ll send Viggo in the afternoon with your leather clothes for your wives.
Remember that if you have more requests, I am always ready to help. "
After saying that Seren got up and walked towards the door, hearing the door close, Einar smiled and looked at the ceiling.
\'Today I will show Kassia and Helmi how to enjoy a little role play, I can\'t believe that the custom that I developed with Margaret today is going to fully shine.
I\'m sure Kassia is going to love it, as Helmi already has a masochistic tendency that she can hardly change. \'
When he finished thinking, he decided to go eat a little because he had a class with the children to teach them how to differentiate between a bacterium and an amoeba.
When he left the room, he met Kassia, who was accompanied by her mother who had a bandage on her head.
"Mother, how do you feel about the head injury, you have not felt something strange or perceived an ugly smell from the scar."
Elin who was happy about taking care of her son shook her head and stroked his forehead "During this time I have felt quite good, although from time to time I feel a little pain or strange sensation on my scalp.
But according to what you told me, it is normal for it to happen, although in any case Kassia and Felipa check on me quite regularly, so I\'m sure the wound will heal soon. "
Kassia who was next to him nodded silently while looking at Einar "Elin may recover soon but it will depend on whether he can respect the directions we gave him."
Elin just blushed a little "It was just a quiet sexual relationship, I know they told me nothing about heavy exercise but it is not our fault that we can hear her moans at night.
Sven, me, and Juni are quite healthy so it\'s normal for us to have sex if we hear that. "
Einar, seeing how strange everything got, just laughed and caressed his mother\'s cheek "Mom, it doesn\'t matter what you do but try to act with moderation because you hurt your head.
Luckily for us, Juni\'s arm stopped most of the blow, but I don\'t want to have to bury your body right now.
You should know your grandchildren and maybe if your age allows it and you want to, you could get to know your great-grandchildren, but you can be sure that we will take care of you.
I especially have to pay for everything you have done for me throughout my childhood. "
Elin caressed her son\'s hand "We have educated you well Einar, I am sure you will do great things in the future for me.
Everything will depend on my luck and what Odin wants to do to my mortal body, but I can be sure that that day, I did not die from the blow to my head because it was not my time to pass away. "
Einar just gave his mother a smile because he didn\'t know what to say to her because he knew that life was very fragile.
One day you just wake up and may never go back to your bed, because maybe one dies at that time or during the day, the simple fact of waking up after sleeping is an achievement because you are still alive.
After this little meeting, Einar said goodbye to his mother, and before leaving he approached Kassia and whispered in her ear.
"At night I will show you to enjoy as Helmi, the leather suits that I asked Seren were finished and in the afternoon they will bring them."
Kassia upon hearing that felt an electric shock that ran through her back, so something flushed and impatient approached Einar\'s ear.
"I\'ll be looking forward to that, darling."
After saying that Kassia and Elin walked away while talking among themselves about some nonsense topics, for his part Einar on his way to the kitchen where once inside he looked at Helmi working together with Aila to make the food.
Seeing her working so hard, Einar walked over to her so he could hug her from behind before giving her a little kiss on the neck.
"You want me to help you cook they seem pretty busy."
Helmi with a smile took with a wooden spoon a taste of the fish broth they were making and blowing a little to cool the broth.
To later place the spoon in Einar\'s mouth, "If you can help us cut some salicorns and dried vegetables, I would appreciate it, but what do you think of the flavor of the broth."
Einar removed the wooden spoon from his mouth and nodded with satisfaction, as he went to the cupboard to grab the salicorns and vegetables to cut.
"The broth was delicious, although I think that with the salicorns and vegetables it would be much better, my only regret is that we do not have a way to get more variety of food.
But that only with time can be corrected, more nevertheless during the following days together with the children and some slaves I will prepare a good area where there are marshes to sow future salicornias.
Although I am not sure of the correct harvest times, I think that the beginning of spring should be enough to start sowing. "
After saying this he walked to the stove where he placed the cut vegetables in the broth "This should be enough to make the broth perfect."
Helmi who was making some dumplings to make bread began to laugh at her husband\'s words "Don\'t be a liar Einar, the broth was already rich, you just added the flavor it lacked.
But now we just have to wait for the bread to be ready before we can eat, which shouldn\'t take more than an hour, long enough for you to calmly go and teach the children. "
Einar just scratched his head and walked to the kitchen window where when he opened it he could see the nursing tent in the courtyard of the great room.
"I hope that all the injured can fully recover, I also believe that it is important that I design a hospital so that the injured have a place dedicated to them ..."
Einar was interrupted when Helmi took him by the waist while leaning her head on her shoulder "They will do it because during the first days those most seriously died, as for the hospital we will have it but it will take time because although the hospital is important I feel that the walls are the main thing.
Because I don\'t like the idea of Viking raids, as it can only mean the death of either party and luck is something I prefer not to trust. "
Einar took a deep breath and caressed Helmi\'s delicate forehead "Don\'t worry, I will take care of safeguarding this island completely so that our children only have to worry about expeditions and natural disasters.
It will take time, but we will. "
