17.chapter 17

After searching for relevant information and communicating with netizens, Sun Xiuqing found that the process of making pottery was far simpler than she imagined.

Originally, she thought that it was difficult to choose soil, and she had to build a brick kiln and control the temperature. In fact, the clay from which zuò pottery can be made is ubiquitous in nature and only needs to be screened slightly. If the more difficult porcelain is to make a kiln, the pottery does not. Firewood and finished pottery are stacked together according to certain rules, and can be burned in the open air.

The discovery excites her.

They had already wove a simple sieve a few days ago, which came in handy, sifting out the larger particles of clay, sand and gravel impurities, and some tree roots, and so on, to obtain a pile of clay with a relatively fine texture.

Add water, stir, knead into long strips, and then use those clay strips to coil into circles, layer by layer, to form the body of the clay pot. Make a bottom, make a handle. Succeed with flying colors!

Recently, it has become easy to make zuò by hand. Ono follows her movements, and she does whatever she does.

The above is the mud strip plate construction method. There is another method, Sun Xiuqing took a small basket in the shape of a flat-bottomed deep-mouth pot woven with rattan before, and first applied several layers of mud mixed with more water on the surface, and then pasted it with a slightly thicker mud inside and out, and evenly smoothed the surface with his fingers and palms, which is equivalent to making a skeleton of rattan and pasting a layer of clay inside and out, forming a pot with a large capacity. The same way to get a pot lid!

In this way, they got two crockpots and a pot. Small cups, small bowls, and plates are directly pinched with bare hands, although the shape is strange, but the meaning is on the line, and the requirements are not strict.

After a busy afternoon, I got a lot of big and small things. When the midday sun is at its best, they will carefully move it to an open area where the sun can reach it directly.

Sun Xiuqing went to see it every once in a while, and the clay was very powerful, and there were no cracks under the sun. If nothing else, you can burn it after just a few days. By then, she would finally have the utensils to cook.

It's fun to think about!

As the sun set, Ohno brought their dinner. During this time, they have reached a certain tacit understanding, everyone takes turns to hunt, and those who don't have to go can be busy with other things, but the fruits of labor are shared by the three of them.

Dinner was two golden chickens and an ancient rabbit, and after Sun Xiuqing found out that she could make porridge, she cooked some small rice and put a few small potatoes in it by the way. I'm used to eating all kinds of meat, and occasionally I have some vegetarian food, and I find it really good!

I still have to take care of the patient at night, Sun Xiuqing is not at ease, so she decided to continue to stay here, and Ohno will accompany her.

When he arrived at the treehouse, he was awake. His eyes were a little unusually bright when he looked at Sun Xiuqing, Sun Xiuqing hesitantly sat down beside him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He said, "Thank you for saving me!" ”

This kind of simple conversation, Sun Xiuqing no longer needs a translator. Hearing this, she was a little embarrassed, waved her hand and said, "This is what I should do." ”

He didn't quite understand her stiff local dialect, but ignoring it for a moment, he took out something and said, "This is for you, thank you." ”

Sun Xiuqing took it hesitantly, and opened the carefully wrapped blade by the light of the fire, what could it be?

There was about a small handful of very fine white crystals in it, Sun Xiuqing looked at it for a long time, and suddenly remembered a possibility! Twist a small grain with your index finger and put it in your mouth, and the tip of your tongue will be filled with a salty taste.

"It's salt!"

Oh my God, she was almost crying. Seriously, she wouldn't feel anything special about her gold, silver and jewelry, after all, that thing was useless here. But salt is different, God knows that the bird will fade out of her mouth these days!

"Where did you get that?"

Sun Xiuqing was anxious to know the answer to this question, and the descendants over there had also been observing her expression.

He said, "Outside the Valley of the Behemoths, I met a guy and I did him a favor and he gave me this. He said the people there loved it. ”

Sun Xiuqing nodded happily and said, "I like it too!" ”

"Then next time we go there together, there will be more!"

Hearing the ulterior motives of the inducement, Dayo's brows furrowed, but Sun Xiuqing didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and agreed without any scheming: "Okay!" ”

That's natural, this small handful of salt, enough for the three of them for a few days? Since he knows that there is salt in this era, it is too difficult for Sun Xiuqing to eat anything that has no taste!

The descendants also became happy: "Then we ...... tomorrow"

"That's it!" Ohno stopped it in time, and when he saw Sun Xiuqing looking at him stupidly, he swallowed his original words and said, "You are so badly injured, let's rest first." ”

Sun Xiuqing also nodded: "Yes, it will take a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones, you should take care of your injuries." We'll go back when you're well! ”

She didn't understand every word she said, but she finally understood the last sentence, and finally put her mind at ease. Sun Xiuqing changed the medicine for him again, and Ohno got him some beast blood, and he was busy for a while, and they didn't mention it.

got a small bag of salt, Sun Xiuqing felt that she was extra energetic when she worked! She had to plan how she would use the bag of salt, think about it, or wait for her pottery to be ready, and then surprise everyone together. So she endured it for two more days, and it was useless to have a single salt, so she went to see those pottery when she was fine.

Finally, it's time to fire. Sun Xiuqing beckoned Ohno and Ono to come over, dug a depression that could block the wind, first spread a layer of hay, and then stacked the dried pottery, leaving a certain gap, and stuffed some firewood into the middle of the gap, and then piled up a lot of dead branches and leaves on it, igniting.

The fire burned for three hours, pulling everything out of the ashes. Two cups were burned, and most of the spoons that were used for fun were broken, but fortunately, the cups were made more, and the spoons could be replaced by wooden ones, and all the others were successful!

Sun Xiuqing happily commanded Ohno and Ono to take these to the river to clean, the women of Treehouse Village had actually been observing her actions, and found that these things were really made, and they felt curious but very ignorant about how to use them.

Sun Xiuqing thought of a brilliant idea, why don't you have a big dinner today and open a forest-themed party! She smiled and mentioned to Ohno Ono, let's have dinner with the others today, the two men have no objection, and the matter is settled.

There are more than 20 women and more than a dozen children in Treehouse Village, and other men have also sent children to inform, and there are seven or eight who are willing to come, plus they themselves have to have 50 people, big party!

Fortunately, they were not short of food, two bonfires were burned, a large wild boar was roasted first, and several large pots of small potatoes were boiled in large pots, which were divided into clay dishes. All kinds of wild fruits are washed, washed, cut and put on a rattan fruit plate, and the color is bright and attractive. The woman from Treehouse Village brought some black steamed buns, which didn't look good, but they tasted amazing!

After Sun Xiuqing cleaned the pot, she found that the clay pot after cooking was not damaged except for turning a little black, so she decided to do it! First of all, the two processed golden chickens are stacked and put in, and then put in a few flavors in turn, find plants like green onions and ginger in the forest that can be used to remove the smell and improve the freshness, add water and simmer until boiling, and finally take out the most important thing - the bag of salt.

Because the pot is very big and there is a lot of cooking, I have to put it in reluctantly, so I shook a little half and went in. It turned out to be worth it, and after ten minutes, the smell of fresh fragrance wafted through the forest, and the adults looked around and the children gathered around them.

Sun Xiuqing was complacent about the magic she had created for herself. She was not idle, she skewered a lot of small potatoes and other wild fruits with slashed branches, brushed them with a sauce made with salt and other plants, and distributed them to the children one by one, and took a few skewers herself, and roasted them in front of the fire.

However, the fire was a bit ferocious, and after less than a minute of pretending to be B, my hands were so hot that I couldn't stand it, so I thought about it and put the skewers near the fire and let them fend for themselves.

The children are learning from each other. Fortunately, this is also possible, after a while, the potatoes become soft, and the fresh sweetness comes out, Sun Xiuqing tasted a mouthful of unexpected deliciousness, and hurriedly beckoned the children to harvest! The children, you and I have a skewer, and they are very happy to eat.

It is rare to eat something with normal taste, Sun Xiuqing did not have the conditions to create zào conditions, a pottery plate was placed on the hot charcoal fire, instead of a pan, some animal oil was refined with fat animal meat, and a plate of potatoes and fried meat. Although there was no soy sauce to mix the color, she couldn't help but wet the corners of her eyes when the familiar fragrance wafted into her nose.

Oh my God, it was just a plate of fried meat with potatoes, and she cried! Netizens know if they will laugh at her, if someone couriers a KFC family bucket at this time, it would be good, provided that they know which courier can send it! She was willing to spend all the money in her bank card for it - only a few hundred anyway.

In the midst of the busyness, the sky slowly darkened, and the hosts and guests were all present. Ohno and Ono dismantled the roast wild boar, and Sun Xiuqing brushed the cut meat one by one with the seasoning she concocted. By the way, I would like to commend her for her fearless dedication, and the small packet of salt given by the descendants has been used up.

The atmosphere was very happy, and the children were especially excited, because it was a common food, but because of the addition of salt, it became a rare delicacy in the world. The adults were also very excited and asked what was going on. Sun Xiuqing said unintentionally that this was a gift from the descendants, which made some people's minds change subtly.

The women each had a plate or cup, and the men didn't mind continuing to grab it with their hands, and although the delicious chicken soup was in a large pot, each person was only given a small bowl. Barbecue meat has become very popular because of the flavor, the children love the fruit and skewers, and the women love the taste of boiled potatoes......

Everyone ate happily and people even spontaneously started singing and dancing. Such a beautiful scene is rare in a lifetime, how can you not take pictures? How can you not post on Weibo? Sun Xiuqing took out her mobile phone with a smile, but found that she couldn't touch it, and she still didn't touch it again. At first, she didn't think she thought it had fallen somewhere, but she couldn't find it after looking around, so she was in a hurry......

The phone is gone!
