Chapter 65: Burning Bricks

  After Chen Chao laid out the characters he was going to learn today, he went out to ponder the matter of burning bricks, and he had to assemble the tiles.

    As for the homework, after finishing the work, let the little old man with the horns accept it. Anyway, I practiced on the sand table. A table was divided into 12 pieces. Chen Chao wrote an example, and the others followed suit.

    The advantage of the sand table is that it can be repeated all the time.

    Anyway, no matter how it is made, the one before dinner is the last one. After finishing the homework, I have to repeat what I taught yesterday, reviewing the past and learning the new.

    As for exams, it is tentatively scheduled to be taken once a week. Every time Chen Chao finishes the lesson of the day, he will use charcoal to leave the lessonware of the day on the yellow mud wall.

    It is also not required to be able to recite during the exam. For a full-time kiddie class, it is best to be able to read it. As for writing, you will be asked to do dictation with your back to the yellow mud wall with words.

    The part-work and part-study adult class only requires the ability to read and read. You can eat an extra piece of meat or a grilled fish on the day you pass, and the full-time class that fails to pass the food will be halved, as is the adult class.

    However, in the adult class, you can add a penalty. Those who fail the exam will all go down the mountain to do hard work and burn bricks and tiles!

    If the test scores in the first week are good, Chen Chao plans to join the study of sentence making, but this is all for later.

    When I walked out of the house, the snow had stopped, and the sun was shining on my body. Not only was there no temperature at all, but I also felt chills.

    Chen Chao went to the cave to take a look. Most of them were rubbing straw ropes, and a small part of the collection team woven straw shoes or made net bags. The atmosphere was peaceful and peaceful, and the tension of autumn was completely gone.

    But also, this winter there are two things that can be spent on learning languages ​​and rubbing grass ropes. In the previous winter, most of the time I was sleeping. As for the applause, I can only get it up when there is enough food.

    If you're so hungry, who is still thinking about applauding.

    Chen Chao called out one-eyed one-eyed who was rubbing the grass rope while listening to Da Zhuang's boasting cowhide. Taking advantage of the fact that the army of rubbing the grass-rope in winter was not much more than him, and he was missing a lot of opportunities, he returned to his original position. .

    Let the one-eyed dress up and take the tools for digging. Before leaving the cave, Chen Chao took a look and found a boasting target again, beckoned, and called him out.

    As far as you talk the most, talking about the matter of arranging the fish by yourself, Chen Chao estimates that everyone in the cave can help Da Zhuang memorize it together.

    But it also benefited from the enthusiastic publicity of the fishing article by the Prince of Stone and Da Zhuang, which brought the whole tribe's vocabulary learning about fish to a higher level.

    And Chen Chao also discovered that Da Zhuang has a special talent for language. This simple and honest man has a heart that does not match his appearance, and he especially likes to express. Many grammars that Chen Chao has not specifically taught may just be used in everyday speech.

    Da Zhuang has also firmly remembered that when he himself needs to use it, he opens his mouth and is very good at connecting words and forming sentences.

    This was discovered by Chen Chao while listening to Da Zhuang's boasting, because this product is different from everyone's version. They are all similar to the same meaning, but the use of sentences is different.

    I listened to those who didn’t watch it on the spot, and then the language learning was still half-understood. If it weren’t for everyone to chat with each other while rubbing the grass rope, I found out, oh, what Da Zhuang is talking about The same thing!

    So although he has a lot of vocabulary and grammar, there is currently an upper limit. After saying it a few times, everyone will remember it.

    After calling out Da Zhuang and One-Eyed together, before leaving, Chen Chao also took out a few logs from the Mushan Mountain in the cave. The bark can be peeled off to make a semi-circular mold for the tiles, and the wood can be made into a mallet.

    After the three of them came to the place where the pottery was originally made, Chen Chao drew a range on the ground with his feet, pointed to the ground, and signaled that the two of them could start.

    Chen Chao's idea was to build a small mud kiln first, and burn bricks and tiles.

    First, build a normal brick house in the Tianyuan tribe to see how the finished product is. Then, build a big kiln at the foot of the mountain and burn bricks and tiles directly at the foot of the mountain. As for burning it on the mountain and then moving to the bottom of the mountain, don’t even think about it. The current manpower can’t do

    it at all. There is no need to do such thankless things.

    Chen Chao let Da Zhuang and Cyclops start living mud and use a stone axe. I started to deal with the mold. The mold for burning bricks and the mold for burning tiles are not the same, so I have to get two versions.

    Before starting to make the mold, Chen Chao saw several strong men coming out of the cave one after another. They were all members of the hunting team. They were Qu (the population exchanged with other tribes) and the moa egg killer Yi , Tsundere's Javelin Little Prince Yi and others.

    Chen Chao glanced at the few people who came out. They happened to be living mud, making mud kilns!

    One-eyed took out the mud needed to make the yellow mud bricks with himself, and let Yi proced a few more molds based on the mold he made.

    Don’t look at Yi’s bones, thin and thin, but the strength in his hands is really not small, otherwise the javelin can’t be played well. Now it seems that cutting wood is suitable for making molds. After all, making molds is not only a hard work, but also A certain degree of vision and care is required.

    This batch of yellow mud bricks are made very large, because if they are made small, a lot of molds are needed. And the yellow mud bricks for building the city walls can be made bigger.

    The tiles cannot be too big, but they can be made longer. The width is about 30 cm, and the length is about 70 cm.

    This way it fits perfectly with the pieces of bark that Chen Chao took out. When the mud embryo is put in the rectangular wood mold, and then put on the bark, it will almost pull out the bark. A perfect arch.

    When the mud embryos are dried in the shade, they are basically perfect when they are burned in the kiln.

    Yellow mud bricks are not so troublesome, just put the mud embryos into the mold. Chen Chao also specially got two mallets to make the mud embryos smoother.

    Thirty bricks and fifty tiles were made in this batch. It takes a certain amount of time for the mud embryo to be demoulded.

    During the period, a certain old man with horns also visited several times, and he could see that he was very relaxed and comfortable in learning. Otherwise, how could he have time to put on his alpaca coat while studying? What is Chen Chao up to?

    No, the moment the little old man turned his head and went back to study, the alpaca coat flicked with him. You don't have to go to the front to see, you can feel the momentum brought by the little old man's unrecognized steps.

    After all, Wu, as a full-time squad leader and part-time student, and the first place in the daily homework, does have the capital he should be proud of.

    Chen Chao used to think that a piece of white paper like the kids is best to portray and write, but he later found out that he was wrong.

    Those with vested interests like witches who have a purpose to learn and absorb are the ones who learn the fastest.

    And they also have one thing that little shit kids lack most, that is self-knowledge.

    Knowing what you are doing, what you want to do, why you are doing it, and what will happen if you do it, like a witch, who has a sound and perfect self-awareness, but is willing to open up to accept another civilization completely different from yourself , That's really scary.

    And the little kids are just in a state of ignorance, and they slam their heads indiscriminately, relying on their real language acquisition. Relying on his unsquandered initial skills to light up keywords at will, anyway, you will eventually get them all, right?

    The leader Yuan is gone, because today his homework is still almost half finished. So he just came out and took a look at what Chen Chao and the others were busy with, and then went back to compete with the stick in his hand.

    It's really weird, how can this little stick not be obedient in your hand!

    Why can't you write beautiful characters like Chen Chao!

    Even that little old man Wu writes better than himself, and learns to speak faster than himself!

    I always dreamed of endorsing and writing when I was dreaming recently! I'm afraid that one day I won't even be able to match those little kids!

    Moreover, it doesn't matter if the writing has to be good-looking, why don't you always remember when you turn your head and write silently!
