Ancient wasteland

Chapter 33 Secret

I chose a slightly larger piece of clay and tried to knead it into the shape of an iron pot, but found it a bit difficult.

The soil is good soil, but he is a bit raw, and he doesn't have a drawing machine, so it is difficult to control the shape by hand.

Jing Zhu frowned and thought for a while, and decided to abandon the shape of the iron pot and make a frying pan, which is relatively simple.

First make the bottom of the pot a little bigger, fill in the pot strings, think about it for a while, and then pinch two ears on the pot strings for easy handling.

Yu looked confused, "Is this a pot? It doesn't look like our pot, it's kind of weird."

Jing Que put the finished pot aside, "This can be used for cooking, and I'll fry it for you when the pottery pot is cooked, it's delicious!

Stir-frying is more delicious than boiling or roasting, and it smells very fragrant. "

Hearing that it was delicious, Yu licked his dry lips, nodded with a smile, "Okay!" He lowered his head and continued to make bricks.

Jing Que was busy making clay pots, bowls, pots and plates, and waited for these tableware to be made before making out the wooden table.

Then you can eat around the table. God knows that you eat with a wooden bowl and around the cooking pot, and your hands will be sore and numb after eating.

They circled the clay all day long, and before returning to the village at night, they had already made 6000+ bricks, all of which were piled there to dry.

Jing He made a large pile of bowls and plates, all of which were made according to the style of porcelain bowls and dishes, a little thicker, but compared to stone bowls, they looked particularly light and thin.

There are big ones and small ones, and there are more big ones, similar to the large bowls he used to hold soup. The main consideration is that everyone eats a lot, and the small bowls... are not very useful.

The diameters of the five clay pots are all about half a meter. The side chords made at the beginning are slightly lower, and then gradually become higher, about 30cm high.

It is suitable for cooking at home, including cooking and soup. In addition, there are two ceramic jars with a wide mouth and a big belly, about one meter high.

Put it there to dry, Jingzhu was very careful when making it, barely formed, I don't know if it can be fired successfully.

While it was still dark after work, they built a simple shed on top of the pile of dishes to prevent rain at night.

Or if a duck comes over and smashes the bowls and dishes he worked so hard on, that would be very annoying!

The next day, Yu continued to lead the collection team to make bricks. Jing He and Ye first burned the more than 200 pieces he made alone, and planned to test the water with bricks first.

After putting the bricks in, it occupies most of the area of ​​the kiln. The shaft kiln they dug is not big, and it can hold up to 500 bricks, which feels a bit small.

Try it first, and if it can be used, let the field leader dig a few more, which will be specially used for burning bricks in the future, and the burned bricks can be used to build kangs before the cold season.

Put the bricks in, line them up neatly, seal the kiln with green branches mixed with soil, and set the fire on the ground below.

Seeing the flames blazing up, my mood improved, and I sat down on the dry firewood split next to me, "Okay, let's wait for the burning.

We use firewood to raise the temperature, and it takes about 3 days to heat up in the kiln, so wait here first...uh. "

He suddenly discovered that the bricks in this kiln had to be fired for three days, and the fire could not be turned off in the middle, and someone had to watch it at night.

There is no habit of not staying up late in the tribe. They often spend the night in the wild when they go hunting. It is no problem for people to watch the fire at night.

It's just that although this place is not far from the tribe, there is still some distance. Is it dangerous to leave someone here alone? !

Seeing him suddenly stop talking, Ye Ye wondered, "What's the matter."

Jing Qu frowned, "I'm thinking that the fire can't be extinguished, and it's better for someone to watch at night."

Ye Ye said directly, "I can."

The priest said that pottery is very important and needs to be taken seriously.

Besides, Jing Cong has been searching for food and making utensils since he came to the tribe.

Seeing that there is a scene, the life of the tribe is getting better and better.

He didn't want to make things difficult for Jing.

Ye wanted to guard the kiln and burn bricks at night, but Jing Que was not polite to him, "That's fine, just the two of us will guard the kiln tonight, and I will watch the fire.

You protect me, the two of us just make a companion, let the fish and others watch tomorrow, let's go back to sleep, and change it at night. "

Ye was reluctant, insisted, "I can, watch the fire."

He agreed to let Ye watch, because he was afraid that there would be wild beasts at night, and it would be safer to have soldiers around, so how could Ye be here alone, lonely and deserted.

It's not just wild, if you want to burn kilns in the future, if you want to keep people here to watch the fire at night, you must also have soldiers, and more than two people.

This can not only prevent danger, but also have someone to accompany and talk to.

Jing Que smiled at Ye, "Has the sacrifice ever passed, and you want you to listen to me?"

Ye was speechless for a moment, and ran to bring firewood in sullenly, and Jing Que won a perfect victory.

Call the fish over and explain to her clearly that the fire in the kiln cannot be extinguished and must keep burning.

After watching Yu's specific operation, he followed Ye Hui to rest in the tribe, and was going to replace Yu and the others at night.

In the evening, Jing He and Ye Shou stood in front of the kiln. He was wrapped in a thick white bear skin, and he was still warmed by the fire. He was not cold at all, but warm.

The white bear skin was lent to him by the fish, and it was the best fur in the tribe, so he was afraid he would freeze!

Sitting cross-legged in front of the kiln, Wang Ye went to the side to bring firewood, and while adding firewood to the fire, he said to Ye, "Are you hungry?"

They had eaten barbecue before dark, but now it was almost midnight, the weather was cold and digestion was fast, and he felt a little hungry.

Ye threw down the firewood, "Eat barbecue."

Jing Que didn't want to eat too much. The barbecue was too dry and he couldn't swallow it without soup.

Ye took it, threw a piece into his mouth, and ate the jujube meat. The jujube pit was still sweet, and he couldn't bear to spit it out in his mouth.

Jing Que found a leaf and handed it to him, "Spit the core into the leaf." This is for planting!

Yecai spat out the date pit reluctantly, his face full of pity, Jing Qu couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out some more for him.

Ye took it in silence, didn't say much, just threw it into his mouth and ate it. He still held the date pit for a long time before he was willing to spit it out.

Jing Que ate the jujube, and told him in a low voice, "Don't tell others, I will give you sweet fruits, but if you tell others, I won't give them to you in the future!"

With a typical coaxing tone, he nodded seriously after listening.

Seeing that Jing He was full of doubts, he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you curious, where did the fruit come from?"

Last time he gave Ye Dazao, Ye didn't ask, as if nothing happened.

Ye shook his head and pressed the date pit under his tongue, "The priest said that the scene is very powerful, so we are not allowed to ask."

Jing Zhuo, "..." Tsk tsk tsk, offering sacrifices to the old man is really a mature person!

Since the priest didn't let Ye ask, Jing Que had no scruples anymore, took out two rice cakes, handed Ye one, and took one to eat himself.

Ye Ye looked at Jing Que and handed him a round, white thing, with doubts on his face, "This is it?"

Jing Que waved his hand, "Daoxiangbing, I'll give you something to eat."

Ye took it, took a bite carefully, and his eyes instantly became astonishingly bright, "It's delicious!"

It turns out that barbeque with no earthy taste is the most delicious thing.

I didn't expect this rice cake called Daoxiangbing to be so delicious!

It's so delicious, I don't know how to describe it, just take a bite, the taste is full of fragrance.

I can't bear to swallow it, let alone take a second bite!

He looked at Jing Qu with bright eyes, with some expectation on his face, "In the future, in the tribe, can this be eaten?"

Jing Qu gnawed on the rice cake and shook his head slightly, "No, this is made of flour, and the flour is ground from wheat. I don't have any wheat."

Ye was a little disappointed, lowered his head, and after eating the cake quietly, he asked Jing He, "Are you thirsty? I'll fetch some water for you to drink."

There is a stream next to it, Ye is going to fetch water there, Jing Zhue smiled slightly, "I will meditate, if you want to sleep, just wake me up."

Ye Jing looked at him quietly, with a serious expression, "Okay."
