Chapter 18: Bulk Pottery

 When we walked to the rabbit forest, everyone put the chestnuts and lynx down for a rest, and also restored the trap stone for catching rabbits.

    Stopping all the way, I finally returned to the tribe before the sun set, watching the campfire rising by the river, the woman washing the fruit by the river, the old man preparing to grill the fish, and the children digging the pit, hunting The team felt a very reassuring joy.

    Xianbao like hunting team to come up with chestnuts, after the tribe of the people are very happy to see, Chen Chao see them useless pottery pot thing, he asked, "Tao pot it?"

    A few fish are preparing for the elderly They all waved their hands, and looked at Wu, which meant that they were not here, but where Wu was.

    Chen Chao wondered if he was cooking, why didn't he take out the clay pot for use, but put it away. After thinking about it, he might be reluctant to bear it, but he can understand it, just came out, it's a fresh baby~

    etc. In the future, the pottery can be mass-produced, and this kind of rough pottery waste pottery can be played by witches casually.

    You can also use one and throw one away~~

    But whether it's useless, you can just cook chestnuts by yourself.

    Chen Chao put down the lynx and went to find the witch, and finally found the witch and Huang Yan who were staring at the mud embryo in the corner of the cave.

    He helped his forehead, and the nails between the old child's hands were covered with yellow mud. Just when he arrived outside, he saw the hands of other old people and children.

    Looking at it again, there are 30 new mud embryos beside the original pottery pots. They are of different sizes, but the two-ear straight pots are the main ones.

    When Wu saw Chen Chao coming back, like a kid asking for praise, he stretched out four fingers and said proudly, "Tao Guo, me."

    Huang Yan on the side also quickly compared his two fingers, "Tao Guo, me. "

    Chen Chao first compared his thumbs to both of them, and said repeatedly, "It's amazing!"

    The old man smiled and was suddenly very happy. He saw Chen Chao taking out a handful of chestnuts from behind him like a trick, and in front of them, he bit off the chestnut skin and began to eat the flesh.

    Seeing that their hands were full of yellow mud, they wiped the chestnut skins and stuffed each of them.

    Wu and Huang Yan followed Chen Chao’s way of spitting out the chestnut skin and eating the flesh, and then ~\(≧▽≦)/~~\(≧▽≦)/

    ~~~~~

    Chen Chao asked Wu to take out the pottery pot and start cooking In a short while, the chestnuts were cooked, but because the pot was too small, he and Wu Youyun were the only ones in the tribe who got three each, and the others were two.

    Wu was very curious about this chestnut that could be eaten raw or boiled. He gestured and asked where he found it?

    Chen Chao smiled and said, "I found it in the forest behind the rabbit forest. There is a whole chestnut forest."

    Wu repeated Chen Chao's words, "Rabbit forest, behind, chestnut forest."

    He was very happy with this discovery. The tribe finally has its own fruit tree/garden.

    The tribe’s collection has always been very unstable. Not only do they have to go far away to collect, but the number is very small. This time I heard that there is such a large chestnut forest. You can go every day in autumn. Wouldn’t it be possible to save a lot for winter Food too.

    The hunting team went there for another two days, carrying 7 litters of lynx, and two lone wolves alone, harvesting a total of 14 large lynx hides, 20 small lynx hides, and 2 wolf hides.

    When I returned in the evening, I planned to bring back 50 rabbits from the rabbit forest. Counting the original ones, there are 70 rabbits in the tribe.

    When he returned that day, Chen Chao saw that the pottery pot had been dug. It was about two meters in diameter and about 50cm in depth. It should be suitable. If it is still too small, burn less.

    I went to look in the cave again, and found that the earliest batch of mud embryos had completely dried out, so other people in the witch organization tribe were asked to carry out the earliest batch of mud embryos.

    There are a total of 6 double-ear straight pots and a big-bellied double-ear pot, and a Huangyan alien masterpiece. However, there were cracks on the top of the alien, but Chen Chao still didn't throw it away, because the broken pottery pieces could be used as a very sharp blade tool, and could be used to treat lynx after being burned out.

    If there were only cracks, Wu would definitely be reluctant to let Chen Chao smash it in vain. The first one to burn out took a few clay pots, and Wu had to put them where he could see every day before going to bed.

    If the animal skins weren't big enough, he would have liked to stuff the three clay pots into the animal skin quilt, for fear that the three clay pots would crack again if they catch cold, so Chen Chao would just let him go.

    Chen Chao saw that it was a little bit small, and took the witches with others the next day, and took out 12 dried soups of better quality. Only the first two spoons were used for the soup, and they were added to this batch. System.

    Wu Wu saw that the pottery was about to start, and the whole person was extremely excited, and drove all the old and the small in the tribe to pick up the flammable dead leaves and twigs, and some wood.

    After removing all the pottery embryos, Chen Chao saw that dead leaves and small branches had been piled up beside the dug hole, and the wood had been piled up crookedly.

    After laying out the hay and wood, with the help of the onlookers in the tribe, Chen Chao placed the dried pottery embryos neatly on the licorice, leaving about a finger distance between each pottery embryo, a total of 20.

    Then Chen Chao stuffed the dead leaves and twigs into the gaps. Wu had also thought about it. This is because he squatted to make mud embryos every day, and his waist was a little uncomfortable, so he went down and helped half of it with one eye.

    After the dead leaves and twigs are compacted by hand, then the remaining dead leaves are broken up. Although it rained a few days ago, the sun has been out for several days, and these dead leaves are all sun set. It was collected before, basically when it met Mars.

    After crushing the remaining dead leaves, he covered the pottery embryo. When it felt like it was almost done, he pressed it down, and then continued to cover it. After covering all the pottery embryos and was much higher, Chen Chao let the one eye stop together. under.

    Just when One-Eyed thought it was possible to start the fire, after all, what he saw last time was to set the fire directly after this step, but Chen Chao asked other people in the tribe to fetch water by the small river.

    The soil that the old people and children dug is still set aside. Now, under the premise of not affecting their lives, basically they will not remove the dug soil, because removing it is very tiring and requires a container to remove it. go.

    After wetting the soil, it starts to mix with the mud. Unlike the mud used to make mud embryos, this time the mud needs more water to reach a softer and thinner state.

    Under the gaze of other onlookers in the tribe, Chen Chao picked up the mud and mashed it on the haystack. The one-eyed one also learned the same way, and it mashed from top to bottom.
