Chapter 33 Boiling Water, Crockery, and Broth

"Wu, drink hot water."

Han Cheng brought the bowl to Wu and said loudly.

Wu looked at the bowl of water in Han Cheng's hand, a little puzzled, a little incomprehensible, how could this good water be white.

But when his hand touched the bowl, he somewhat understood, because it was hot.

Wu took the bowl and didn't drink it immediately, but held it in his hand, looking at Han Cheng with some puzzlement.

Han Cheng knew that this was Wu trying to figure out the truth.

Han Cheng was helpless, this old man was good everywhere, but this problem of getting to the bottom of the problem was a bit there, or lame them to worry, and they did more and asked less.

Han Cheng complained and complained, and he still patiently explained to Wu, for this old primitive who had a life-saving grace for him, he respected it from the bottom of his heart.

This respect is not only due to the grace of saving lives, but also due to the efforts made by Wu for the development of the tribe.

It is necessary to explain the matter clearly to Wu, firstly, to solve the doubts in Wu's heart and facilitate his record, and secondly, to implement the system of drinking cooked water in the tribe, which requires Wu to come forward.

With the alternation of Han Cheng's Chinese, tribal languages, and gestures, Wu finally understood the meaning of drinking boiled water.

He didn't understand why there were invisible bugs in the good water, and he could understand Miko's words that the illness was caused by the bugs, but there was one thing he firmly remembered.

That is, put the water on the fire to boil, you can boil this little insect to death, drink the water without the little bugs, you can get sick less!

That alone is enough!

At this time, medical and health care did not appear at all, at least not in the Qingque tribe, and if you get sick, there is only one way to survive - hard resistance.

If you resist the past, your life will be great, and if you can't resist it, you will die.

In this era when even ordinary wind chills and colds can kill people, after hearing Han Cheng say that drinking such water often can reduce the possibility of getting sick, it would be strange if Wu didn't pay attention to it!

There is one more thing that Wu needs to record, which makes Wu happy at the same time, but also a little melancholy.

He thought that until he died, these stone slabs in the cave ** would not be used up, who would have thought that it was not too long for the Son of God to arrive, and these stone slabs were a little insufficient, and it seemed that he needed to let the clansmen bring back some more.

In the afternoon, the elder brother returned with the hunting party.

Today's harvest is not too much, and the food they hunt is only enough for a day, and there is no extra food, which means that they will need to continue to hunt tomorrow.

After dinner, Wu summoned Senior Brother and told Senior Brother what Han Cheng had told him today.

Just like Wu, after hearing that this boiled water had such a great effect, the elder brother couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then immediately said that he agreed to the system of drinking boiled water in the tribe.

Three blackened stones returned to the perimeter of the fire, arranged in a triangular shape, and the blackened clay pot was filled with water and placed on the stones to continue burning.

Over time, the water inside the jar starts to heat up......

The people in the tribe watched this scene from near or far, and there may have been many people among them who didn't understand Han Cheng's actions before, but after hearing that eating such water can reduce illness, they all paid attention to it.

Now there are too few jars and jars, which are inconvenient to boil water, and when the next kiln comes out, it can be turned over.

The two old primitives who were responsible for taking care of the flames had one more job, and that was to boil water.

There is nothing special about boiling water, and after Han Cheng demonstrated it twice, they memorized the process and knew what kind of water was boiling.

The boiled water is poured into the large vat where the cold water is poured out, so that when everyone drinks it again, it will not be too hot and inconvenient.

The work of carrying water was given to a female primitive who was not very strong, and she was a spouse of the second senior brother.

Because of their weak bodies, they generally do not go out to hunt with the hunting team, but stay in the tribe with a few other female primitive people who are weaker or pregnant or nursing children, doing the work of collecting fuel and spearing fish by the river.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the pottery of the second kiln was also burned for three days, and this day was still like the first kiln opened, and there were many people watching.

However, Han Cheng was no longer as anxious as last time, but kept feeling and checking the temperature inside by touching the mud outside the dried mud kiln and through the small holes in the ventilation.

He waited patiently from morning to afternoon, until the mud on the outer layer of the kiln was a little cold to the touch, and then he began to knock on the kiln.

A hole was smashed into the clay kiln, and heat was pouring out of it, but it was not smoking.

Han Cheng's heart hung slightly, and he listened to the movement inside, for fear that there would be a 'click' sound of pottery cracking.

He waited quietly for a while, no sound sounded, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile on his face, he quickened the movement of his hand, and after a while, the entire mud kiln was knocked open, revealing the scene inside.

After more than three days of intense fire, all these original muds have undergone a qualitative transformation, not only into pottery, but also into a relatively higher level of pottery.

There are many places on them that have a glorious glaze!

In the afternoon sun, the black ones glowed a little.

And the yield is also very gratifying, only four of the fifty-three pieces are damaged, and the rest are all intact.

These include three jars of various sizes, and five jars with 'ears'.

After the pottery of this kiln came out, the 'pottery shortage' in the cave was greatly replenished!

Wu and some other people, touching the somewhat shiny pottery black in the sunlight, looked excited, especially after thinking that such a beautiful thing would belong to their tribe, and they were even more happy from the bottom of their hearts.

After the initial excitement, everyone cleaned these precious pottery in the river and began to transport them to the cave, and everyone's actions were carefully handled, for fear of breaking this precious thing.

Tonight's dinner was extraordinarily generous.

Well, this abundance refers not only to the variety of food, but also to the amount of food that is large enough for everyone to eat.

Tonight's food is indeed much richer, and a large part of this is due to Han Cheng putting a large jar on the fire, putting meat on it, and then adding water to cook a large vat of broth!

People who have eaten barbecue all their lives now not only eat boiled meat but also drink rich broth with oil splashes, which is not unrich for them.

However, although the food is delicious, it is a pity that if you don't finish the soup in the tank, you won't be able to get the meat underneath.

However, when the clever and wise Miko deliberately burned out a few bowls with symmetrical holes on the edges, and then used a cleaned branch with a finger thickness of more than a meter long, and used rope grass to tie the branch and the bowl with holes together, the matter was perfectly solved.

Miko called this kind of thing that can be eaten directly from the bottom of the tank as a 'soup spoon'
