Chapter 14: Mysterious Ceremony for Pottery

 This kind of time-consuming and laborious thing has to be really made, so that people in the tribe can see and understand the usefulness of this thing before mobilizing manpower to get it.

    As for the issue of manpower distribution, there is no such thing as a few new things that you can immediately replace the position of the leader, that is too taken for granted.

    Either power transitions peacefully, or kills the leader, which will be faster. But now there are only 50 people in the entire tribe, and there is no need to do this, after all, Chen Chao is already at the highest point in the world.

    Chen Chao smiled,'You think I'm at the bottom, but I'm actually at the top. 'Just thinking about the current situation, he sighed slightly. Even if the 50 people were to spin around, there would be no way to step into modern civilization. It can only speed up the progress of human civilization training as much as possible.

    Unlock more new populations and absorb them. Wasn't there a Wudang Mountain Tree Tribe that has also recovered...

    But today, there is no way to burn it again, after all, it takes time to dry in the shade. Chen Chao made some more mud and added some water, and started rubbing the mud with One-Eyed, Wu and Huang Yan.

    Now that he has a helper, Chen Chao plans to do more, and then dig a bigger hole, burn more at once, and burn other more practical things.

    Chen Chao first took out some mud from the pit. In order to teach three people at the same time, he deliberately slowed down some movements.

    This time he tried to make a clay pot. After all, he was not sure whether it was durable or not. But since it can be burned, he just burned a whole one.

    He first lived the mud into lumps and then lived a big one. Knead the mud together like the dough, then pat and rub.

    After repeating it a few times to make sure that he was alive, Chen Chao signaled to others to pull the small mud from the big mud if needed.

    And this time I don’t want to make a film and dip it like I did before. This time, I mainly used the mud wire rod method.

    That is, first rub the mud sticks. Chen Chao takes a small piece of the cooked mud and knead it into a mud ball. First, use one hand and then both hands on the operation board to rub the mud ball into a mud stick that meets the requirements.

    Then he stopped and tilted his neck, and found that the mud sticks rubbed by the hands of the old, middle and young also stopped and tilted his neck.

    Chen Chao? ? ?

    I’m just a little tired...After all, I’m a little tired just rubbing the mud stick after the mud life, and my neck is a bit sore. I move my neck. Hey~~~It’s not a mysterious ritual necessary for pottery

    . When you rub the mud sticks, you have to tilt your neck...

    the picture is too beautiful to think...

    but Chen Chao didn't correct them right away, mainly because the language is not clear and the things on his hands can't be put down and gestured. they gave up the correct ...

    Ever since ...

    ...

    Chen Chao checked the trio of old clay in less whether uniform thickness, diameter of about 1CM can, 1CM here is tentatively scheduled for a fingernail cover adult length.

    Then you can start to make the bottom of the tank. Take one end of a clay stick as the center and coil it tightly. Use the clay to smooth and reinforce the bottom of the pan.

    The next step is to make the tank body, place a stick of clay on the bottom of the tank one by one, then use your fingers to stick a little clay on the inner wall of the tank body. After smoothing and strengthening the gap between the sticks, they are superimposed and reinforced to the height of their own design. .

    I used the same method to make the lid, because when Chen Chao was braising the fish soup just now, he found that it would be more difficult to boil directly without the lid, and it would consume more wood.

    Chen Chao is still making straight pottery pots this time. He originally planned to make a pot-bellied pottery pot, but since he is not very proficient at present, and there are three apprentices who want to bring it, he should be safe.

    This time I also pinched a few handles specially, but when sticking it on, we should dip the interface with water to make it firmer.

    After finishing the straight pottery pot with three apprentices, Chen Chao allowed them to play freely. Instead, he himself tried to make a pot-bellied binaural pottery pot. It was a little boring to look at the clay embryos with no patterns. .. There

    are still some small mud sticks next to him. Chen Chao designed some shapes, then dipped a little water with his fingers on the paste area of ​​the can body. After sticking the small mud sticks on, he nodded in satisfaction.

    Turning his head and looking at it, all three of them, old, middle and young, have also completed their own works. Wu and One-Eyed made another two-eared straight pottery pot. Only Huang Yan squeezed a weird shape.

    But Chen Chao didn't say anything, the sense of innovation is still necessary!

    Ask everyone to take these 6 straight double-eared pottery pots, the matching lid, a big-bellied double-eared pottery pot with its lid, and a strange shape... I don’t know what it is. Take them to the cave. Going dry in the shade.

    This time, I’ve been overcast enough. I’ve been overcast for three or five days. I don’t know if the cracked one last time was not enough to dry in the shade, and there was a problem with the method...

    As for the pottery pottery, wait for these embryos to dry in the shade. Later, it’s not too late to dig, or just let Huang Yan take the children in the tribe who don’t need to dig in the daytime. Although it is slow, it should be fine for several days.

    Wu also deliberately sent One-Eyed to sleep near Tao Embryo, not allowing other people in the tribe to approach here, and deliberately confessed to Yuan that no children were allowed to come here to fight, and if these things were destroyed, they would all be driven out of the tribe!

    In the evening, Chen Chao used the remaining two straight pots to stew two pots of fish soup, one of which belonged exclusively to Chen Chao, the leader Yuan and Wu, and the remaining pot gave the other adult men a taste.

    Everyone has no opinion on this matter, after all, this thing was made by others, and the leader Yuan and Wu was originally the highest level of this tribe.

    As for the cracked pottery pot, Wu was not willing to throw it away, but carefully put it away.

    At night, there was only the crackling of the bonfire outside the cave and the sound of two old people walking around.

    In fact, saying that they are old people is just relative to the life span of primitive people and the age of young and strong people in the tribe.

    According to the current algorithm, it should be in the early forties, but now it is very old.

    Although his hair was completely white, there was nothing wrong with watching the night before the entrance of the cave.

    And now they can go for a fish during the day, mainly because they don't have to go out hunting and gathering, and there is no physical work during the day, so if necessary, they can also sleep during the day.

    And they also need to take care of the fire at night to keep the fire indestructible.

    Although the people in the tribe have learned to drill wood to make fire, it is still too much trouble. It is better to let these old people who have nothing to do to look after the fire.

    Wu was not asleep yet. He sat in front of the entrance of the cave and looked at the cracked pottery pot against the firelight. He only heard him gently

    say , "Ceramic pot, made of clay." He used stones on the floor from time to time. What is being drawn...
