Traversing the Age of Creation in the Orc World

There is a kind of shoes called boots, which can protect the feet well and prevent the cold wind from freezing, but there is no time to make those shoes right now.Let's pack up and go back. "

The shoes that Ye was reluctant to take off finally returned to Xia He's feet. Ye could get used to the uneasy mountain road, but Xia He was not used to it.

In the end, Meng and Chi still carried the six wild boars, Xia He carried the bamboo, and the leaves were not easy. Xia He tied a large pile of garlic seedlings with the vines on the tree, and the big leaves wrapped five or six bags of perilla leaves. , a group of people walked back to the tribe with a full harvest.

However, nature will always surprise you inadvertently.After descending the mountain, they went to the tribe's lawn, where their home was.

When turning down the mountain, Ye let out a cry, and immediately threw away the wild boar on his shoulder in fright, ran over and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Ye Jianmeng was so nervous, Xia He and Chi both looked at him, a little embarrassed and said, "It's all right, it's just that the stone scratched his foot." He said and threw the stone that made him unlucky.

While Chi Hemeng was concerned about Ye's feet, Xia He was staring at the stone that Ye had discarded. The body of the stone was muddy black with rusty yellow. , it must be as he thought...

"He, what's wrong with you? Why are you staring at the stone?" Chi and the others also looked at Xia He, looking at the black and ugly stone with excited faces.

Xia He didn't seem to listen to them, he put down the bamboo and suppressed his excitement, picked up the stone, smelled it again, messed with it again, and then laughed loudly, making the three people next to him bewildered.

Chi was the most worried one, "He, He, are you okay, what happened to the stone?"

"Haha, this is ore, ore, aha!" Holding up the ore, he was so excited that he hugged Chi and kissed his face.

"Yeah ore." Chi didn't know what the stone was for, he was happy that He kissed him, it was the first time He kissed him and he took the initiative!

Ye couldn't stand Xia He's hugging a rock and was so excited that he forgot about them. "He, tell us quickly, what happened to this stone?"

Xia He tried his best to suppress his mood, "This stone is called ore, and it has many uses... Leaving this aside, where did you get it?"

While walking, he didn't notice the rocks on the ground and on the mountain. Xia He found that most of the rocks on the mountain were made of ore, and the ones on the side of the road should have fallen from the mountain.If you don't look carefully, you can't find it, because the mountain is covered with tengs that have been climbed from other places. You can see the ore of the black depressions all over the mountain when you push the tengs away.

Xia He wanted to shout loudly: I got rich, I got rich, haha.

Of course it's just thinking about it, what does it mean to have ore?It means that there are weapons, which means that houses can be built, why?Because ore can be made into a big knife, with a big knife you can chop wood, and with wood you can build a house, right?

After the excitement, the rationality came back, and I still got the fire out first, but there were a few more large pieces of ore when I went down the mountain.

The author has something to say: Hehe. . .

13. Teaching Fire (5)...

After returning home, let Meng and the others deal with the wild boar, and he started to try to make Huo Yizi. Unexpectedly, Ye also asked him to help him. Of course, Xia He was happy to have free labor.

Jiao Ye found hay or dried leaves, as well as dry fine mud, and he used a kitchen knife to chop off the small bamboos one finger length, of course, all the cuts have bamboo nodes with openings on them.After finishing, crush four-tenths of dry leaves and hay, add two-tenths of dry fine mud and twist it into a paper shape, and take four-tenths of the firewood that is still burning from yesterday to now. of burning carbon.

Carefully put the small red-hot charcoal in the dry grass mud to form a small column, and then carefully put it into the small bamboo tube, and you're done.

Holding the first Huo Yizi in history, Xia He put a bunch of dry grass beside Huo Yizi and blew sparks with his mouth, and the bunch of hay burned in a short while.Both Xia He and Ye jumped up excitedly, "He, did we succeed? Haha."

"Hehe, yes, we succeeded. You have seen the process, so you can go to the tribe."

"Well, let's go tell the clan first." After speaking, he couldn't wait to drag Xia He to the clan leader's house.

"Oh, wait a minute, there is one last step." Xia He hurriedly stopped Ye from running to the patriarch's house, "Huo Yizi is finished, but there is still a cover missing."

"cover?"

"With a cover, the kindling can be kept longer." Xia He picked up the bamboo that was twice the size of the small bamboo, and cut off an inch long at the small section of the bamboo, just enough to insert the open end of Huoyizi into the small section. .

When he arrived at the patriarch's house, Ye turned his attention to Huo Yizi's production from beginning to end to Gao, and Huo Yizi, who was holding Ye Ge, was also so excited that his eyes were red, and the first step of the tribe's prosperity began!

"Patriarch, the seed of fire is Huo Yizi. In the future, fire can be used in the tribe. Ye can do the steps of Huo Yizi. Then you can directly ask Ye to teach and lead the tribe. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. Me." Xia He paused and continued, "I mainly want to say a few things that I hope the tribe can do. First, because we, Huo Yizi, only use bamboo, and it's just a small bamboo that hasn't grown for a long time. The bamboo will be cut down indiscriminately, and sooner or later one day it will perish because of us. Besides, our descendants of tigers will return to the era when you eat raw meat and drink animal blood. I don’t think you want this to happen, do you, patriarch? ?”

Gao Cong let go of his excitement and pondered, "You're right, it seems that I forgot some substantive issues because of the excitement of the birth of the fire. Don't worry, I will warn the tribe not to cut down trees, and try to save as much as possible. A small bamboo can be enough to make Huo Yizi for ten families, and our tribe only has 48 families. Even if every orc makes a Huo Yizi, there should be no large-scale felling, and it will never be cut down when it is useless. bamboo."

"Well, there is a second point. It is mainly to teach you how to prevent fire. This is very important. If you are not careful, don't say that you will be burned to death, and other people may also suffer. Usually when you light a fire outside, pay attention to the surrounding area. Is there any dry grass and dry leaves? After using the fire, remember to put it out before you leave, and you have to do nothing in case, especially in the forest, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Gao nodded, "I understand this, what else?"

"The other thing is that everyone can't light a fire in the hole. I know everyone will think that it will be much more convenient to use fire to illuminate the hole, but our hole is relatively deep, and there is only one hole on the four sides to vent gas... Well, in general It is absolutely forbidden to burn fire in an airtight place, if you do burn a fire inside, most of them may explode, if you want to grill meat, it must be outside the hole."

Xia He was relieved when he saw that Gao nodded and didn't go deep and asked low. Well, he barely passed chemistry in junior high school.But he still has the common sense that a fire cannot be ignited when the air is not permeable.

"There is one last point. Huo Yizi can't touch water. Water is the nemesis of fire. If you are not careful or want to extinguish the burning firewood, just pour some water. Hehe, I'll just think about this for a while, and when I suddenly I will tell you if I think there are other things to pay attention to." Xia He felt at this moment that I was the chief, which satisfied him with a sense of accomplishment that he never had in his previous life.

"He~" Ye looked at He with starry eyes, "He, I'm sure, I'll hang out with you from now on~"

Xia He laughed out loud after hearing this, Ye Shi is so cute. "Okay, I have some meat to eat with my brother. Xiao Yezi, let's go and create even greater inventions with my brother."

"Good." When he left, he still did not forget his duty to teach the clansmen, "Patriarch, I will come here to teach the orcs after they come back from hunting."

Gao Xiao smiled, "Well, go, I will call all the people here when the hunting team returns."

When they got home, they had already processed the wild boar, saying that processing means shaving the hair and emptying the internal organs.The wild boar on the ground in Xiahe, "Meng, we can't eat so much, are you going to marinate it or give some to the tribe?"

"Salted?" Meng Meng didn't understand, "I can't eat so much, and it smells after two days, so I can only send it to the tribe to eat."

Xia He suddenly thought of another question, and asked with a twitch, "Meng, don't you tell me that you don't even have salt here? Don't you know that cured meat is a way to preserve meat?" The salt he brought is almost gone. Live without salt?Xia He felt dizzy thinking about it.

Chi Kuai helped him across the river, and asked worriedly, "He, are you okay? Is there something uncomfortable, why don't you take a rest?"

Leaning his head on Chi's shoulder, Xia He said weakly, "It's okay, I should have thought of this a long time ago, because I didn't think about it before, so the blow is so deep now."

He grabbed the question and asked, "He, do you mean that this salt can preserve meat?"

"Of course, in the current weather, salted meat can be kept for three or four days, and it can be kept for one day during the summer festival, and it can be kept for a little longer during the autumn festival. Five to 20 days, but no one will keep it for such a long time, and eat it while preserving it.” Xia He said and rubbed Chi’s shoulder, um, although it is not as firm and powerful as Meng’s shoulder, it is still strong .

The three orcs were all delighted when they heard the news, and He brought them too many surprises.Chi was the first to ask, "He, do you think it's the white salt you use for cooking at our house?"
