"Have you ever seen fire?" asked Xu Fang.

"What's that?" Lina was a little curious, she hadn't seen this thing before.

Xu Fang smiled and said, "The phenomenon of light and heat emitted during the burning process of something is called fire." Fire has many uses, it can be used to scare wild beasts, but it can also cook. Have you noticed that everyone often has diarrhea and gets sick, and many cases are caused by drinking raw water and eating raw meat. ”

"It's amazing!" said Lina.

"Well, there are things in the water and in raw meat, which we can't see with our human eyes, and there is one thing that we collectively call bacteria. Bacteria can infect people, so it's best to eat both water and meat when cooked. Xu Fang explained with a smile.

Xu Fang explained as he began his work.

First pry a small hole in the large wood with a sharp stone, then place some debris of dry leaves around the small hole, and some fluff that easily ignites catkins, and finally pick up the branch, on which the hands begin to rub the branch rapidly.

Everyone understands the principle of drilling wood for fire, but many people find it difficult to succeed. First, this is a physical job, and it is easy for ordinary people to give up halfway. Second, this is also about skill, and blindly using brute force may not succeed.

Xu Fang knows how to drill wood for fire, and he also cultivates true qi, which has a unique advantage. Fifteen minutes or so, as puffs of green smoke came out, the leaf debris around the branches finally caught fire.

After seeing the flame, Xu Fang quickly took the leaves and the like and lit it, and then found a pit for the flame to put in and added a few wooden branches. Wood branches burn for a longer period of time than leaves.

In the end, Xu Fang pressed a stone on it, so that the oxygen was insufficient, and the burning of the wood branch could be slowed down.

In the afternoon, the people who had gone out hunting finally returned. In addition to the wild fruits, there are two goats and a wolf. Of course, there are also people who are injured.

Xu Fang applied herbs to the wounds of the injured people, and after seeing the people start skinning the animals, Lina stopped everyone from eating them raw.

"Xu Fang, how do you cook the meat?" Lina's gaze fell on Xu Fang.

Xu Fang had already asked people to find a lot of branches before, and seeing that the meat had been processed properly, Xu Fang smiled and said, "Let's go, come with me to the cooking place." ”

After placing the fire on the gap between the stones, Xu Fang took out the previous fire and placed them under the three barbecue stone racks one by one, and then added wooden branches to make the flames burn more violently.

Everyone looked at Xu Fang curiously, not understanding what the flame was. But after a few minutes, after a burst of enticing aroma came out of the meat, everyone's saliva flowed.

After eating too much meat and fishy raw meat, they have regarded those meat as a kind of hunger content, when did they ever think that what they are used to eating can have such a delicious side?

"How long will it take to eat?" asked Lina, wiping her saliva.

"Wait a minute, eat it when it's cooked, otherwise you will get sick easily." Xu Fang didn't seem to see everyone's greed, and roasted the meat unhurriedly.

Half an hour later, Xu Fang finally cooked all the meat, put the three animals on the stone, and said with a smile: "You can eat it." ”

Although it was very gluttonous, everyone's food division was still very regular, but when everyone got it, they finally couldn't help it anymore, regardless of the hot mouth, and directly feasted. Although they were hot and hissed, they still swallowed in their stomachs.

The prey, which is usually eaten endlessly, was even cleaned of the flesh on the bones today.

"Xu Fang, it's delicious!" Lina licked the oil on her fingers, looked at Xu Fang with a light in her eyes, and asked expectantly, "Is there still tomorrow?"

"Yes!" Xu Fang nodded, "As long as there is prey." ”

Seeing Xu Fang's answer, everyone was relieved, they were really afraid that Xu Fang would say no.

People take food as the sky, but this kind of barbecue is too not enough for people like Xu Fang, who are used to eating countless delicacies.

It was very late today, Xu Fang didn't toss, and early the next morning, Xu Fang took four people out of the door together. Lina wanted to study with Xu Fang, but she didn't stay at home and went out with Xu Fang.

"Xu Fang, what are you going to do today?" asked Lina curiously.

"Make some pots for cooking. Xu Fang didn't hesitate, and said directly: "For example, the boiling water I said can't be boiled if there is no container." ”

After explaining clearly to Lina, Xu Fang led people to a flat land, looked at a few people and said, "Dig down!"

Xu Fang didn't dare to think about firing iron pots and ironware for the time being, but he still had some local methods for firing some ceramics. Clay is the main thing, and although there is clay everywhere here, it is better to have a little less sand and gravel in the ingredients for firing clay.

Several of them were experts at digging soil, and soon dug a hole. Xu Fang looked at the soil inside, and was slightly happy in his heart. The soil layer inside is yellowish, which is very suitable for making raw materials for firing ceramics.

Ask everyone to dig up the dirt and have everyone carry a big lump towards where they live. Everyone's strength is very strong, and these hundreds of catties of soil are enough for Xu Fang to toss a lot of things back.

After letting everyone move back first, Xu Fang asked a few more people to go back and dig some more. He took the dirt and asked people to find some water to come and start making mud.

He mud needs to remove the bubbles in the soil as much as possible, and after crushing all the soil, Xu Fang looked at it almost, and then began to turn the mud into the shape of a pot.

Because of the lack of various tools, it is difficult to draw blanks with tools. After a basin-sized shape appeared, Xu Fang rounded the pot as much as he could, and then placed it on a wooden mound to dry.

One is definitely not enough, Xu Fang made ten large pots in a row, and then went to teach others how to make bowls.

These people don't usually have any toys, and when they were young, their toys were mud, so it's not difficult to start this kind of craft. Under Xu Fang's teaching, the bowls made by many people are also quite smooth.

asked everyone to put these hundreds of bowls to dry, and Xu Fang instructed others to start building a platform for firing ceramics.

The only firing tools are wooden branches, and Xu Fang can't make a professional stove. But if you can do it, Xu Fang didn't pay too much attention to it.

I can't do it today, and I need to let these mud blanks dry.

After shaking for two days in a row, Xu Fang saw that it was almost done, and then lit fires in various porcelain kilns, and then put these porcelains into it to bake.

Let the amount of fire be controlled, and Xu Fang also followed to point out.

After burning like this for a day and a night, Xu Fang asked people to put out the fire and began to inspect the fired porcelain.

Three of the ten washbasin-sized ceramics were broken, and three were left to be fired well. The inside is fairly smooth, there are no breakage cracks, and it is absolutely fine to use.

Of the 200 bowls fired, there were more broken ones, more than 60 of them were broken, and more than 100 were still usable.

For such a situation, Xu Fang can't do anything. Hand-made things, and using the most primitive methods, this really can't guarantee the success rate.

Xu Fang was not discouraged, and after happily inspecting these porcelain, he carefully put these things away.

"Wow, is this ceramic?" asked Lina, who also leaned over at this moment, extremely curious.

"Yes, this big pot can be used to stew things, and the small one is called a bowl for eating. Now the firing is not enough, and we have to continue firing. Xu Fang smiled.

"How do you use it? Lina asked, playing with the pots.

Xu Fang didn't bother to build a good stove, but found a flat piece of land, and used a few large stones and mud to make a simple stove directly. On both sides is the place where the pot is placed, and after placing the pot on top, the lower part is the place where the fire is burned.

After the meat came this time, Xu Fang asked people to wash the meat, find a sharp stone to break the meat, and in the eyes of people's great expectation, Xu Fang put the meat into the pot, added water and began to cook.

It didn't take long for the smell of meat to come out. Although it was not as rich as barbecue, Xu Fang actually added some wild vegetables to the pot, mixed with the fragrance of wild vegetables, and everyone's taste was touched again.

After the stew was ready, Xu Fang asked everyone to start serving the rice.

Xu Fang also served a bowl of it himself, the barbecue he had been eating before had long been a little greasy, and now with some wild vegetables, this light feeling made Xu Fang very satisfied.

Lina sat beside Xu Fang and once again gave a great affirmation to Xu Fang's cooking skills.

……

Another three days passed.

When it came to firing ceramics and cooking, Xu Fang found five people, and after teaching them by hand, Xu Fang finally divided the cooking work.

As for what to do next, Xu Fang knew that there was still a long way to go.

First of all, there is the question of accommodation!

In this labor-oriented environment, the dwelling needs to be located in a ventilated, safe, well-watered, fertile soil, and surrounded by flora and fauna for food.

Now Lina and her group can be said to have no fixed home. When hunting in one place becomes difficult, they move to another.

In such a situation of continuous migration, Xu Fang knew that if he wanted to solve it, he had to solve the food problem. To solve the food problem, we need to consider the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

It is clear that this group of people did not have any concept of agriculture and animal husbandry at all, except for hunting.

"Xu Fang, what do you want?" Seeing Xu Fang sitting on a stone and pondering, Lina, who admired Xu Fang incomparably, walked over.

Xu Fang glanced at Lina, who was full of charm, he hadn't touched a woman for a long time, and he looked at Lina very good-looking.

As if seeing the meaning in Xu Fang's eyes, Lina's cheeks were slightly ruddy, her eyes were a little evasive, and her heart was pounding.

At her level, it is difficult to have feelings for her people. And Xu Fang, a handsome, knowledgeable, calm and mature man, it is too easy to open her heart.

Xu Fang also noticed Lina's expression, hurriedly put away his hot eyes, and said gently: "Lina, how often do you move?"

"What's wrong with moving once a year?" asked Lina curiously.

"How long have you been here?"

"It's almost a year, and now the prey is very difficult to fight, and I have to move again. Lina said.

"Do you want to change the situation of migration every year?" Xu Fang suddenly asked.
