Ancient wasteland

Jing Que plans to dig a kiln for burning bricks near the lake. After the bricks are fired, the kiln will be built with bricks, and it will also be built next to it.

In this way, the clay is easy to obtain. After the pottery is fired, it only needs to be transported to the tribe.

While thinking about how to build a brick kiln, he smashed the clay into bricks, stacked them aside, waited for them to dry, and then put them in the kiln for firing.

It has been about ten days since he traveled here, and the sun is rarely seen, and it is basically cloudy or cloudy.

Jing Qu guessed that it should be due to the many clouds in the water season. He didn't deliberately cover up the bricks, so he piled them up casually.

But when the brick kiln is set up, a shed has to be built here to dry the unfired pottery in the shade and avoid being washed by rain.

After playing in the mud, Jing Qu joined the ranks of picking duck eggs again.

There is no room for delay in burning bricks, but relying solely on rubbing them with his own hands is too inefficient. He has to wait for this trip back to the tribe to rescue the soldiers.

When I went back with the duck eggs on my back, the original basket had been emptied, and the duck eggs inside had been cleaned and neatly stacked in the wooden frame.

Jing Que put down the basket, went to look for the priest, told him that the clay had been found, and that he was going to dig an earthen kiln beside the lake.

After hearing this, the priest frowned, "Is the brick you mentioned the same as the black pot?"

Jing Que shook his head, "No, the bricks are a little rough, but they are made of clay, and when fired, they should be similar to black pots.

We mainly use bricks to build kilns, and if we build larger kilns, we can fire more pots. "

The priest seemed to understand, but he knew that black pot is a good thing.

The black pot made by the tribe is lighter and thinner than the stone pot, and cooks meat faster, requiring more baaaaa than their stone pot.

Jing would make such a scapegoat, so they naturally had to follow Jing.

Although he couldn't understand, the priest still expressed his support, slowly rolling his cloudy eyes, "Okay, then do as you said."

Jing Que is not going to describe the principles of kilns and pottery to the priests, it is too complicated, as long as they are taught to build and use, it is enough.

Anyway, when pottery jars, bowls, and even pots are fired, priests will naturally know the convenience and benefits of pottery.

Hearing this, he smiled and nodded, "Then I'll bring water and grass first, go to the lake to make brick embryos, and let Ye follow me to dig the kiln tomorrow."

After the priest nodded in agreement, Jing Que turned back to his cave to get some molds for making bricks.

Brick is better than stone because it is easier to make and not as difficult to mine as stone.

Another reason is that the brick volumes are similar, or the same!

Building walls and building kilns are all neat and tidy from the bottom to the top, and they look good. You can build whatever you want.

However, relying solely on visual inspection and hand feeling, it is difficult to make the size of the bricks uniform without years of master craftsman, and it is necessary to use molds to shape them.

He first found a large plank about one meter square to use as a pad to keep it flat.

Then prepare two pieces of wood about 25cm long and 6cm wide, and two pieces of wood about 10cm long and 6cm wide.

In this way, the volume of the bricks can be roughly fixed at 25×10×6cm by splicing the wooden boards.

You only need to prepare a few more veneer boards of the same size, and the brick maker can plan bricks of the same size with the boards in their hands.

These boards, the boards are not nailed together, they are separated.

When using it, just wait for the mud embryos surrounded inside to dry a little and set the shape, then the planks can be removed and then used again.

When Jing Qu returned to the lake with the plank, Yu led the rest of the collection team to pick up duck eggs and return to the tribe.

He took water and grass and stayed by the lake to make bricks. After the clay was mixed with water, it needed to be beaten and kneaded to become firmer and stickier.

Grass and Water, with their bare feet, jumped on the clay and stepped on it to play. Jing Yu sat next to him and was responsible for turning the clay into bricks.

Those who picked up duck eggs picked up duck eggs, those who stepped on the mud stepped on the mud, joking and laughing, and their hands were very busy.

Jing Que learned from the experience of being too tired to eat when opening up wasteland. When he felt backache, he quickly stood up and walked around, moving his arms and legs.

Go to help the fish pick up a few duck eggs, wait for the legs and feet to move, and then sit down and continue making bricks.

When it was getting late, Yu greeted them and was about to go back to the tribe. Jing Qu threw away the board and stood up from the ground rubbing his waist.

Counting the bricks piled up next to him, there are less than 300 pieces. He made it himself, and the efficiency is really slow.

It seems that tomorrow we have to let Yu and the others suspend the work of picking duck eggs, and first get the bricks out of the shade so that the kiln can be fired.

Although duck eggs are good, they must be preserved in containers.

The number of bricks is a bit small, but when Jing Qu returned to the tribe, he saw the square full of duck eggs in wooden frames.

The mood immediately became cloudy and sunny, so many duck eggs!The wooden frame he nailed was full of duck eggs.

The white ones and the green ones were packed separately and piled up there. When you look at it, you feel like there are duck eggs in front of you, and you can't see anything else.

At least eight thousand or more, maybe tens of thousands!

That's all, I haven't finished touching the lake yet. I will stop working tomorrow and make bricks. After the bricks are finished, I will continue to touch duck eggs!

There are so many duck eggs, I feel so happy just thinking about it.

There are too many duck eggs accumulated in the tribe, so the priest decided not to eat roast meat, boiled meat with wild vegetables, but to eat duck eggs first.

There is no other method for the time being, just boiled eggs in plain water, take as many as you can, and eat as much as you want.

It doesn't have to be like usual, the meat is eaten by the soldiers first.

The remaining meat is boiled, soup is added, and wild vegetables are added, and it is the turn of the elderly and children to share.

Water and grass hid in front of the stone pot, roasted on the fire, and ate boiled eggs with a smile on their faces. They didn't dislike the fishy smell of duck eggs at all.

While swallowing, he whispered to Cao Cao, "It's nice to have a scene in our tribe."

Grass was almost stalked by the duck egg yolk, so he quickly patted his chest, coughed and swallowed the egg yolk, "Yes, come to our tribe.

There are panniers, buckets, and beds, and we haven't been hungry since he came.

There are so many wild vegetables collected that I can’t finish eating them, and there are too many quack beast eggs to eat. Uh, water, my stomach is so full, touch it. "

Shui reached out and touched his belly, "It's round."

Talking to Cao, Shui raised his head and looked at Jing Qu who was sitting there in a daze, "Well, Jing is the best, we have to listen to Jing."

Cao giggled and nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

If you listen to the scenery, there is endless food, and you can sleep on a canopy bed. You can eat well and sleep warmly, which is very comfortable.

Jing Que sat next to the stone pot where the duck eggs were boiled, warmed by the firelight, holding a green duck egg in his hand, and was peeling the eggshell.

Someone sat down next to him and handed him a piece of roasted meat.

Jing Que raised his head and saw Shiye, his face was calm and calm, as usual, he seemed to have come out of the shadow of broken love.

Smiling slightly, "Where did you get the barbecue? Didn't the tribe not cook barbecue today? Is this a small stove for me?"

Ye silently handed the barbecue to him, Jing Que hesitated a little, and reached out to take it in his hand, "Did the priest ask you to give it to me?"
