Prehistoric Asian beasts battle the ocean

Busy going in and out for the past two days, Hami was wearing sports cotton shoes, his feet were white and itchy, and wrinkled. He took off the cotton socks and squeezed them with his hands. He even squeezed water out.

"You can't wear these cotton shoes anymore, or your feet will be covered." Hami muttered to himself while sitting in the shade in front of the bamboo hut to dry his feet.

He sneaked another glance at Chiguo's big feet. Due to walking around barefoot for a long time, there was a thick layer of calluses and dead skin on the soles of her feet. .

And looking at his fat and swollen feet, Hami burst into tears. He definitely can't do it without shoes. If he walks barefoot like Chiguo, his feet will probably be useless.

Hami planted a handful of Ula grass and tried to make straw sandals. He had never done it before, so he could only experiment bit by bit.

He first braided the Ula grass into braids, and then used the white filaments spit out by cocoon beasts and the bone needles he made before to sew the braids together to make a rough shoe sole, and then put his own feet on the shoe sole to measure According to the size, then use a bone knife to cut off the excess part little by little, and then use white filaments to sew and lock the edges tightly, so that a shoe sole is ready.

Hami sewed two crossed finger-thick animal skins on the soles as uppers, so that the shoes would not fall off.

In order to make the sole more practical, Hami sewed a layer of animal skin on the upper and lower layers of the sole, so that it is soft and does not hurt the feet.

Hami walked a few steps happily in the newly made sandals, and was very satisfied. They didn't rub his feet at all, and they were much lighter than the sneakers he wore.

"Ah, ah, Hami, what are you wearing on your feet? You conjured something new out of thin air while I was cooking a meal?" Chiguo ran over in a hurry and pointed at the new shoes on Hami's feet with envy.

"Go, go, you don't need money to change things out of thin air. These are the straw sandals I just made out of ulagrass. I'll make you a pair later."

Hami put on the new shoes in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone has them, I'll make a pair for each of you, just wait."

Chiguo made a face at Hami, and said mischievously, "I don't want you to do it, you are already very tired, and you still have a lot of things to do, you teach me how to do it, and I will do it myself when I have nothing to do at night."

"Okay, then I'll do it again, you watch, first grab a handful of grass, braid your hair like this, after braiding, Chiguo, put your feet up and I'll measure it for you... Damn! Chiguo you What's wrong?!"

Hami was almost terrified, he was measuring the size of his foot, why did he still have blood dripping on the back of his hand?

Hami squatted in place, looking at the blood that was still dripping onto the back of his hand, he stiffened his head and looked up, then twitched his eyebrows, covered his face and ran away, "My mother! I'm blind .”

Chiguo casually wiped the animal skin around his waist, wiped off the blood, and asked Hami's somewhat embarrassed back, "Hami, why are you going? You haven't finished measuring yet?"

Hami broke down and said, "Measure your fart, hurry up and get your whole body covered in blood."

Not ashamed either.

Chiguo wiped it with the animal skin again, and said indifferently, "Don't women have such a few days every month? Let it flow."

"Just let it flow?" Hami's eyes widened in disbelief, and he raised his voice, "Just let the blood flow down the thigh? Where does it flow?"

Chiguo picked his nose, "Otherwise, I can still block it!"

Hami: "..."

It really can't be blocked!

you win!

Hami asked unrepentantly, "Aren't you going to do something? For example, lay something down?"

Chiguo shook his head innocently, "All women in the tribe are like this."

Hami rubbed his forehead, "Okay."

But Fujiyan suddenly came to Hami for some reason, covered Hami's eyes with the tip of his tail, and said in a deep voice, "Don't look, it's not good."

Hami's eyes were suddenly dark, and countless mmps floated in his heart.

He took the tip of Fujiyan's tail away, obviously feeling that Fujiyan was a little unhappy, he rubbed the tip of his tail, it was so cool, Fujiyan immediately pulled back the tip of his tail in shock, coiled it under his body and hid it tightly .

Hami looked at the empty palm, "...All right."

He took off the black vest he was wearing, and tore the clothes into several strips of equal length according to the appearance of the aunt's towel in the advertisement in his memory, and then sewed them into three long strip pockets with thin white thread. Put on the bulging white silk thread and throw it to Chiguo casually, his face flushed and he said in embarrassment, "On the mat, it's wet and I'll change another thread."

Chiguo held the black cloth strip, and didn't know what it was for at first, but after hearing what Hami said, she had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly understood the use of this thing.

Seeing that Chiguo wanted to change it on the spot, Hami said with a stiff neck, "Chiguo, the toilet is not a decoration, you go to the toilet and change it!"

Hami's heart is tired. Sometimes this primitive man is pure and affectionate, but sometimes his style is really bold. For example, today's matter of Chiguo's visit to his aunt needs him, a man who has been around for thousands of years, to teach him. I feel unclean.

Even after looking at the bloody place, when Hami was sleeping at night, he dreamed of a piranha with its mouth wide open. The piranha showed its sharp teeth, chewing flesh and blood, screaming Hu's meat crumbs rolled in Hua's mouth, and some even fell from the lace onto his face.

He woke up suddenly, touched his face to make sure there was no flesh and blood, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Hami was speechless. After being so frightened, he found that he seemed to have a bit of a shadow on women.

The kang is not completely dry yet, in order to make it dry quickly, firewood is burning in the stove, and everyone sleeps on the ground of the main cave tonight. The ground is covered with a layer of bamboo as the floor, which is very cool and clean from moisture , Hami comfortably spread his body against the ground into a large font, staring straight at Teng Yan, who was sleeping beside him.

Hami has been too busy recently, busy with how to build the tribe better, how to plan and design the cave more reasonably, how to collect more food, but forgot to care about Tengyan, and I don’t know if his leg hurts again recently.

This fool, even if it hurts, since the beast has no hands, he just finds a big stone and rubs the tip of the tail back and forth silently to relieve the pain.

Hami put his hands behind his head, lay on his back on the ground, looked at the flickering orange fire in the stove pit, and listened to everyone's even breathing, suddenly felt that such a day is not bad, busy, fulfilling and happy, the premise It is to cure Fujiyan. Even if Fujiyan doesn't say it, it is very inconvenient for him to live with the animal body every day.

***

The snow-white waterfall cascades down vertically, kicking up thousands of water flowers. Under the shining golden sun, it casts colorful drops of water, splashing into several hectares of blue waves.

Hami squatted on the shore, holding a bamboo stick, and was beating the down jacket. Taking advantage of the sunshine, Hami was wrapped in animal skins, and planned to wash the clothes and pants.

And in the turquoise pool in front of it, a black snake shadow swims freely, and from time to time, a huge snake head emerges from the water, and a few glances in Hami's direction confirm his safety.

Langmu and Huyi are afraid of water, so they refuse to go to the deep water area where Tengyan is located, and they all follow Chiguo to stop in the shallow water area to take a bath, while the little tiger head rides on Huyi's neck, opening its mouth from time to time. A stream of water was sprayed towards Hami who was squatting on the shore.

Hami wiped the water off his face, held the bamboo stick and said expressionlessly, "Little Tiger Head, if you're spraying me, I'll let you taste the power of the nunchuck."

The little tiger blinked its big eyes, and suddenly took another big mouthful, then turned its fat little buttocks and yelled at Chiguo several times.

Hami laughed angrily, patted his little butt and said, "You learned how to be a vicious tiger and sue first."

Chiguo laughed at the side, threw the stupid son who was holding his thigh tightly on Huyi's neck, swam to Hami's side and showed his head from the water, "Have you finished washing? I didn't expect this clothes to be so difficult to wash. They have to be beaten with sticks, unlike animal skins, which can be soaked in water for a while and then rubbed with river mud to clean them.”

"It's not too difficult to wash, it would be nice if there is laundry detergent."

In fact, Hami thought about using river mud to wash his clothes, but he still couldn’t accept it visually. He always felt that the milky white down jacket was wrapped in this black mud. No matter how you look at it, it feels dirty. While beating the clothes with a stick to get them clean, the other is that he is reluctant. He only has this one down jacket now, and he still counts on it to survive the winter.

After Hami finished washing his clothes, he touched the animal skin that had been soaked in the water for a day and night. It was soaked and softened and ready to be processed.

The purpose of immersing the hide in water is to restore the fur to the state of fresh skin, and to facilitate the removal of soluble blood stains, feces and other sundries.

After removing the minced meat, the next thing to do is to remove the fat. Generally, the saponification method is gentler and will not damage the fur, but there is no soap in hand now.

Hami thought about it, but he could use the method Chiguo said, using the river mud to rub the animal skin. The weak alkalinity in the river mud can remove the oil without damaging the fur, and the fur will not become stiff after rubbing. It is not durable, and the fishy smell of the fur itself will be taken away by the river mud, which has multiple functions.

After tanning the hide, Hami spread the hide flat on the big rocks by the river to dry, and then went into the shallow water to stay away from Chiguo and the others, planning to take a bath.

Don't look at Hami as a man, but since he was a child, he has never been used to the scene of a large number of men washing together in a big bathhouse, and he can't let it go.

After squatting his whole body into the water, Hami took off the wet animal skins around his body and put them on the shore.

Hami is actually a little afraid of the dark green and deep pool water. Just looking at it can make people dizzy. What if some piranha or other beast suddenly emerges from the water and bites him, bites him from the middle Into two paragraphs, thinking about the picture is scary.

He glanced at Tengyan not far away, swimming around in the water and patrolling around, sniffing his nose, thinking in vain, with Tengyan around, he seemed to feel safe again.

The water was not cold at all, but Hami still took a quick battle bath, covered himself with wet animal skins, and slowly groped in the muddy places on the bank with bare feet. Tired and panicked, he decided to touch some river mussels to eat.

The place where the silt dries quickly is the best place to dig. Seeing that the vent hole of the mussel was dug accurately, Hami dug the vent hole. Sure enough, there was a big mussel with a long tongue.

The clam shell of this big river clam is oval-shaped, black and translucent, as big as two palms of an adult. He weighed it in the palm of his hand, and it weighed four to five catties, but the clam shell is too thin and easily broken. It's a pity that it can't be used to hold things.

There are a lot of mussels on the bank of the waterfall, and Hami dug twenty or thirty of them in a short time. The mussels were packed in two bamboo baskets.

"Hami, can these be eaten too?" Chiguo got out of the water after swimming around, and asked with a basket of mussels in her arms.

"It can be eaten. The mussel meat is particularly crispy, tender and delicious. It is very delicious, but it needs to be processed first."

Hami opened a mussel with a bone knife, and after seeing the inside, he couldn't help sighing that there were several pearls growing on this mussel.

Hami dug out the pearls one by one and put them aside, waiting for the time to wash them off later.

He said to Chiguo, "The gills of river mussels are not edible. Between the thin skirt and the thick mussel meat, there are two crescent-shaped parts that are half covered with mussel meat. They are soft and soft. Gill-like texture, can't be eaten, throw it away."

"What's more, I can't eat the intestines. The intestines are next to the gills. They are full of black sand and dirt. They are very dirty. Just wash them off."

Seeing that Chiguo understood, Hami said, "You deal with these mussels first, and I'll make you a beautiful necklace to wear."

"What is the necklace?" Chiguo asked excitedly, "Does it look good with the animal teeth on my neck? Are you going to wear it on your neck too?"

"Well, it's worn around the neck. When I make the finished product, you'll know how good it looks."

Hami rubbed and washed the pearls, and rubbed the pearls with the thin bone needles he made before. After grinding for a long time, he finally got through. He took a white silk thread and strung the pearls together to make a pearl necklace. Guoshou said, "This is a necklace, take it and wear it around your neck."

"It's so beautiful, Hami, oh, why am I so beautiful!" Chi Guo put on the necklace, stood by the water, looked at her own reflection in the river, she couldn't help but be beautiful.

Hami shook his head, what woman doesn't like beauty, what woman doesn't like beautiful accessories, it was just that the conditions didn't allow it before.

At this moment, the three orcs, one big, one small, and four orcs suddenly looked at Hami eagerly, and the longing in their eyes almost overflowed.

Hami rubbed his forehead, "Why, you want it too?"

The orcs were all expressionless and silent, not saying what they wanted but staring straight at Chiguo's neck.

Chiguo was so frightened that he quickly covered the pearl necklace on his neck and hid behind Hami, and said in a vigilant voice, "Although we have a good relationship, I will not give up the pearl necklace to you!"

The tiger's head is small, and the meaning expressed is more direct. He stupidly crawled to Chiguo's legs, and wanted to pick off the necklace around her neck.

Chiguo glared at him, "You're short and fat, you still have hair all over your neck, you can't see it even if you wear it, don't grab it from my old lady."

Tears welled up in the tiger-headed cat's eyes. Poor, Hami took a deep breath, patted Chiguo, and said, "The tiger-headed cat is not your own son. You are so fierce to him. Good boy, the tiger-headed cat doesn't cry." Come on, uncle will make you a pearl bracelet."

Fortunately, many pearls were picked up from the clam shells. Hami hummed and picked out the three largest pearls, ground the pearls out of holes, made a three-pearl bracelet, and put it on Xiaohu's head. on the small forepaws.

Hutou looked at his little paw with the pearl bracelet, and his eyes narrowed into a line with joy.

Hami took another look at the three orcs, touched his nose, and continued to resign himself to making pearl chains for them.

Made a bracelet for Langmu and Huyi, but Tengyan, because he can't transform into a human body, Hami simply used the remaining pearls on him, made a super big pink pearl necklace, and put it on for him. On the tip of the tail.

Fujiyan flicked the tip of his tail. Although he was still expressionless, his tail was raised high, for fear that the necklace would fall off. No matter how he looked at it, Hami thought it was super cute.

"This pink one is for you." Fujiyan took out a pink round pearl, "make it into a necklace and wear it around your neck."

Hami picked up the pink pearl and said in surprise, "Tengyan, when did you get the pearl?"

Teng Yan turned his head away from him, and said dryly, "Just now, put it on quickly, it looks good."

Anyway, this is also Fujiyan's intention, Hami smiled at Fujiyan, made a necklace with this pearl, and put it on his neck.

Seeing this, Fujiyan flicked the pink pearl necklace on the tip of his tail and said, "Pink." Then he nodded his chin and said, "White."

After Hami understood the meaning, he scolded him childishly, dumbfounded.

After returning to the cave, Hami dried his wet clothes and animal skins on the bamboo raft, turned his head and said to Huyi, "Huyi, take a piece of marinated Chilong beast meat from the bamboo, and let Chiguo dry the meat Cut it into thin slices, and Tengyan and I went to dig bamboo shoots, and at noon we had braised river mussels with bacon and fresh bamboo shoots."

The bamboo forest is very close, just outside the yard. As soon as Hami lowered his head, he found a thin bamboo shoot that had just grown, and the tender one could squeeze out water. He tore off the thin bamboo shoot and put it into the bamboo basket on his back. Thin bamboo shoots like this are usually grown in pieces and are not hard to find. Hami pulled out a basket in a short time.

I didn't pay attention when pulling the bamboo shoots. After pulling the bamboo shoots, I realized when I was walking back with the basket in my arms. His thighs and arms had different degrees of scarring. I don't know how it was scratched. It hurts when you sweat.

Hami put the thin bamboo shoots in front of Wolf Eye and Tiger Wing, and asked them to peel them. Since he was young, he only liked to dig bamboo shoots and never peeled them. Just like some fishermen, he didn’t want to eat the fish he caught. , but I like fishing very much.

Hami turned around to clean the mussel meat, and before returning from the waterfall, he had already disposed of all the inedible parts of the mussel.

Next, he beat the mussel a few times, mainly because the meat on the side of the mussel is very firm and tough, so knocking it like this will make the meat softer and taste better.

Then pour the salt into the mussel meat, rub the surface of the mussel gently with your hands until some mucus appears in the mussel meat, and then wash it with clean water. Repeat this step of washing the mussel meat with salt at least three times to Wash off thoroughly.

After washing, cut the mussel meat into two, put it into the bone pot and blanch it. After the water boils, there will be a lot of floating foam. Skim off the floating powder, take out the mussel meat, clean it, add water and simmer slowly superior.

Hami cut the bamboo shoots into slices, brought the bacon that had already been cut with red fruit, and put them into the bone pot to stew together. After an hour, the fresh aroma came out and then turned off the fire.

Hami hissed and ate a mouthful first. The salty red dragon meat had a rich taste, the bamboo shoots were crisp and fragrant, and the mussel meat was chewy and had a umami taste. It was simply delicious.

With the meat and soup, everyone was given a small bamboo bowl, and everyone was not happy with the food, and they couldn't get enough of it.

The main reason is that the bone pot is too small, even if there are enough ingredients, they can’t cook much. Faced with this situation, Hami decided to try cooking pottery.

When Hami was on a global expedition, he stumbled across a small foreign village where people were isolated from the outside world and maintained the most primitive self-sufficient life. Hami was fortunate to have seen the process of their pottery making.

First of all, the soil used for firing pottery is particular. The best choice is kaolin. Kaolin is a kind of clay and clay rock. Pure quality kaolin is as white as snow in color, soft and delicate in texture, strong in plasticity and fire-resistant.

But when Hami came to this prehistory, he had never seen anything white except for snow and bird eggs, let alone snow-white soil. Mud is used as a raw material for making.

The mud is sticky, and Hami added some plant ash to enhance the formability of the clay and improve the yield.

Hami sorted out the large particles and small stones in the river mud. Originally, he had to use a fine sieve to filter it, but there was no fine sieve, so Hami had to use water to filter it, pour the river mud into a bone pot filled with water, and stir , until the thin mud that settles down at the bottom of the pot is enough, this is done to keep the mud fine.

Dry the mud until it is half-dry, and then knead the mud. This is to expel the air bubbles in the mud. Otherwise, the green body will easily contain air bubbles, which will easily break and deform during firing.

After the mud is kneaded, it is shaped with the mud stick method.

The first thing Hami made was a small bowl. He first made a flat bottom of the bowl and placed it on a smooth flat stone. From the plate to the edge of the mouth, smooth the inside and outside with your hands and bamboo slices, and the mud of the small bowl is ready.

Hami also made two medium-sized soup pots and several sea bowls, and put them together in a cool place to dry. After the green bodies were dry, the defects of the green bodies were properly repaired before they could be fired in the kiln.

Taking advantage of the time to dry the body, Hami called the orcs to prepare the caves needed for firing pottery.

The cave dwelling made by Hami is a kind of earth kiln, which is oval in shape as a whole. It is a shallow pit about one meter deep. A small earth wall is built on the left side of the shallow pit to separate the kiln chamber from the fire pit. There is a gap of two meters at each end for the fire channel, and then a stove mouth is opened on the left side of the kiln for adding firewood.

Such a kiln hearth and the kiln chamber are on a horizontal platform, separated by a layer of wall to prevent the green body from being burned by excessive fire, and at the same time, it can also make the green body evenly heated.

Hami took the green body from a cool place to the sun for several hours, and when the green body was completely free of moisture, it was fired in a kiln.

Hami placed the green bodies layer by layer in the kiln, while the tiger wings were running outside, while Langmu and Tengyan collected the firewood needed for firing the kiln.

The key to kiln firing is the kiln temperature and firing time. If the kiln temperature is low, the pottery will not be shaped when fired, and if the kiln temperature is high, the pottery will be deformed or even cracked.At the same time, the time of firing the kiln is also very critical. The firewood needs to be fired continuously for more than 72 hours, during which someone has to add firewood in shifts without interruption.

After firing, the kiln is sealed, and the kiln can only be opened three days later.

When Hami opened the firewood kiln and saw the situation inside, he almost cried.

I didn't expect him to actually burn.

And most of them were fired successfully. The successful firing for the first time greatly boosted Hami's morale, and he fired several more kilns of pottery.

Because the capacity of the bone pot is too small, you can’t wash much mud at one time, and it has to be used for cooking. Hami wants to make a few super large water tanks, sauerkraut tanks, and wine tanks, and use the bone pot to wash mud back and forth. In what year and what month, he simply made a large wooden barrel specially for pottery clay, and the speed of firing pottery was much faster now.

By the evening of the sixth day, excluding the burnt pottery, they already had two large water jars, four sauerkraut jars, a dozen wine jars and large clay pots, and dozens of plates, small bowls, medium bowls, and large bowls. bowl etc.

Although the fired pottery is a bit rough, it can already meet the needs of daily life. Hami is already very content with his half-baked pottery.

Hami put a large earthen pot on the stove as a pot, added a pot of water, scalded the freshly dug red fruit and tiger wings, and blanched the packed mussel meat, then put it on a bamboo raft to dry in the sun, and kept it for the snow season eat.
