Volume 1 Building the Castle Chapter 48 Expectations for Kuroko
After tasting the water that Wang Tian and the others had sent, they noticed the difference, although Wang Tian added a small amount of salt to it, but the tongues of the people, who had never been cultivated by salt, were still sensitive to the difference.
What's more, there is Ling'er, a little girl beside the leader, who is looking at his father with blinking eyes, with a gloating expression on his face.
Today, two of the smartest people in the tribe have vomited several times. Xiao Ling had a tricky expression, looking forward to his father's strange appearance. Among the chief's many children, she was the only one who was not afraid of her father.
But the result disappointed her, the expression on Daddy's green face did not appear in anticipation, and Daddy and everyone even stretched out their tongues and licked their lips, which turned out to be a little unfinished.
Ling'er didn't think that Wang Tian made the salt to trap everyone. She only stopped after drinking most of the jar of water after seeing Wu vomit, and automatically used salt as a water promoter. Treat it as like Houttuynia cordata, which I don't think is delicious, but it's something that the Son of Heaven thinks is useful.
The leader stretched out his big hand and touched Ling'er's head in a caressed eye, among all the women of the tribe, this little daughter in her 10s, since Yan Tong Tianzi faintly became the leader of everyone. Children are their own good, and primitive people think the same.
"Is Daddy good?" Ling'er asked suspiciously.
"@*&$" The leader asked in tribal dialect, seeing Ling'er with the corners of his mouth upturned and ignoring him, forgetting for a moment that this little daughter had stopped speaking tribal with him since the Son of Heaven came.
I had to say again, "What." Then he pointed to the jar of water.
"Salt, Brother Tianzi said it was a good thing, so I brought it to everyone to taste." After finishing speaking, there was a look of appreciation on his face, an expression that he had forgotten all about the careful thoughts just now.
The leader didn't know how to express this taste that he had never tasted before, let alone let him speak in Mandarin, so he had to give a thumbs up to express what he meant.
Looking at her father's praising expression, Ling'er, who was puzzled, couldn't help but put the clay pot in her hand to her mouth, put it on her wrist, and tasted the cool white open with salt that she had sent.
The taste is not as bad as I imagined, but it is not delicious either.
She suddenly remembered that the special bowl requested by the Son of Heaven was for special use, and just now she directly used the public clay pot to drink water. couldn't help but stretch out his little tongue, and looked at Brother Tianzi who was talking to Kuroko not far away, and patted his little hand on his slightly bulging chest.
"Kuroko, I said what's the matter with you, why are there still so many varieties of ceramics? I'm talking about the kettle! What about the frying pan! Teppanyaki! Stew pot! Where are the steamers? The more Wang Tian said, the more hurried his tone became: "Look at Ling'er, I just mentioned it, I have everything." You've made a few bowls and a few clay pots every day, and you've made bricks with mud here. ”
Wang Tian was really angry as he spoke, and Heizi listened to the first half, scratching his ears and cheeks, with an embarrassed expression, but after listening to the second half, his face turned into a look of resentment in the deep palace.
After seeing it, I wondered if I was talking too harshly, but don't dampen this kid's enthusiasm.
"I mean that if you do a good job of pottery, your contribution to the tribe is far greater than if you help the tribe make two more bricks, you look at the tribe's bamboo, now everyone is inseparable, and pottery is now also something that the tribe urgently needs!" Have time to think about what pottery should do to make it better! ”
Wang Tian hated that iron could not be made of steel, and continued: "Now the tribe needs large clay pots, and they need to be equipped with lids. Need......
He gave Kuroko his order, and then began to ask about the difficulties he was encountering.
"Son of Heaven, the big one is gone, no," poor Heizi, who was criticized by Wang Tian for being incoherent, couldn't even speak smoothly.
Wang Tian understood what he meant, and inspired him: "Then have you thought about what went wrong?" ”
"Once the pottery is bigger, it can't hold the shape of the object, so you should think about it from a relevant aspect. The shape of the vessel is huge and has no support, so you can't make a large pottery embryo, so you should consider it. How can we strengthen the supporting role. ”
After speaking, he picked up a basket that had been broken, and mud was pasted on the surface, and Kuroko's eyes lit up and seemed to understand something.
"You see, you just need support, you need a skeleton, it doesn't have to be as dense as this frame, what shape can be made of bamboo, you should be able to shape it.
"And the pottery is made of clay, and the shape is not easy to shape, it must be related to the clay, is the particle too large and the viscosity is insufficient, or is there too much moisture in the mud, causing the mud to be too soft?" Different problems have to be solved in different ways, Wang Tian concluded.
"You can try it by drying the clay used to make pottery, crushing it into a powder and then kneading it with water. The resulting blank will be delicate. ”
"You can also try adding some plant ash or more fibrous plant fragments in the middle. You can try different colors of clay. To be added in different proportions. ”
"How much water is best for shaping? How much of the material is most appropriate? How long is the best time to place the mud after it is configured? How much thickness is appropriate for different types of equipment? How should round things be made? How should alien things be made? ”
"What kind of things are made, what kind of molds are needed, and can improve the efficiency and yield of production? Do you need a turntable to make something round? Wang Tian picked up a stone slab and put it on the raised stone, and then spun it.
Through constant reminders, I hope to give sunspots inspiration and find a solution to the problem. What is more important is to develop his ability to think independently. A team needs continuous efforts from everyone, and it is impossible to achieve the goal by any one of them.
After Wang Tian talked a long way, Kuroko fell into deep thought, the rotating workbench that is indispensable for making pottery should indeed be made, but before that, Wang Tian had to make the filter material for filtering table salt-preliminarily fired porous clay with bubbles.
He already had the idea of making it: the mud had to be well hydrated, using very fine clay that could be added without too much stirring, and in which fresh, fleshy pieces of plant leaves could be added, preferably in a round shape. Only the initial firing hardening is required.
Wang Tian operated according to his own ideas, and reminded Heizi: "I found salt in the cave of the tribe, and these things I make now are used to filter salt and salt, and I can do more when I have time, and I don't need to go into the kiln to fire, just light the fire outside and make words." The firing time should not be too long. But the surface hardens, and it's done when bubble holes appear. ”
Heizi looked confused, he watched Wang Tian pinch out a small mud mound one by one with three fingers, grab one at random and put it on the ground, and it was done. What kind of pottery is this? What is it for? In doubt, he looked at Wang Tian.
"You'll know when you go back and see the salt making." I'll do this, you can find a way to make a few large containers out first. If you need bamboo for bones, go directly to Xiaoling.
Wang Tian didn't explain too much, the master led the door, and the cultivation depended on the individual. You can never make progress without thinking independently. Think, act, succeed! When all this has become a routine, it is also addictive, too much help is not conducive to the growth of Kuroko, only when he really experienced, through his own efforts to solve one problem after another, and the production of success, in order to find the joy of labor, to find the joy of creation, to find the motivation to constantly improve themselves.
Just when Wang Tian continued to inspire the sunspot. Xiao Ling, please give the poems and the salt water in a clay pot to everyone. And told everyone that the Son of Heaven would personally cook tonight and prepare delicious food for everyone, because the tribe had discovered salt that made food more delicious.
People who have worked hard all day have a comfortable expression on their faces. The juice grilled fish made by the Son of Heaven was a must, and this dish was the only one they had ever tasted with spices. It was all a bland and original feast. Healthy is healthy, but eating one flavor for a long time, even with salt, will make people lose their appetite. Not to mention that there was no table salt to add before.
Everyone began to look forward to this feast in the evening.
