Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 102 The Nitrate of Animal Skins (2) (Proofreading)
Leave it for a day to make the leather soft again, use a blunt knife to shovel straight on it, and then shovel it horizontally in all directions, with the board facing outward, and surround it on a wooden pole.
Then use a quick knife to shovel soft and then shovel horizontally until the skin is soft and smooth, after the skin is soft, only need to expose the hair surface to the sun for half a day, and then use a small bamboo pole to pat the hair surface.
This knocks out fine dust and makes the hides softer, and then hangs them on a shelf, and a small bonfire is lit underneath, and the flames are extinguished only to produce smoke, and the fire must not generate heat.
Thick smoke can soften the beast skin more and can also play a deodorizing role, at this time you can add some plants that can produce fragrance after smoking, and when the smell is dissipated, it can be used.
In the future, the use and storage of animal hides should not be too wet or too dry, and some dried flowers can be added to further remove the odor when not in use.
It also takes a few days for these processes to be completed intermittently, during which the red brick kilns are successively successfully fired and continue to be fired;
After the fifth kiln was fired, Wang Tian, who counted the quantities, finally got all the bricks needed for the wall.
The wall is also constantly increasing with the continuous production of red bricks;
The four people under the leadership of the thin head tuo, the technology of building walls is improving day by day, and now the horizontal screen is no longer a problem, Wang Tian has seen it a few times, and he can't find any fault.
The tiles made by Kuroko and Otei were carried to the construction site of the observation deck wall and stacked at intervals;
Piles of black tiles, the enamel on the surface was smooth and black, and when they were struck by hand, there was a sound of gold and jade.
Spinning and weaving is also going on slowly and orderly, under the control of Xiaoling and a few pregnant women, tearing hemp, beating hemp, boiling hemp, dividing hemp and then spinning it into yarn;
According to Wang Tian's idea, before the first snow falls, as much yarn as possible should be stored to provide raw materials for the handicraft weaving work after winter.
As an adjunct to the rope and hemp material, the stock of straw paper has also been increased, which not only solves the problem of convenience, but also makes the women more comfortable when their relatives come every month.
In order to improve the papermaking industry, after Zhou recovered from his injury, this heir of the god stick who was less than 7 years old was also assigned to the papermaking work by Wang Tian.
Wang Tian hoped that he could develop a smooth, smooth and strong paper that had nothing to do with writing, but rather a paper that could be used to glue windows.
In the future, when building a house to live in, you can't just leave the windows open because there is no glass, and the new house with a black hole is not the new life of the primitive era that Wang Tian imagined.
Let Zhou participate in papermaking, of course, not to let a 7-year-old child work, but to develop his head and realize Wang Tian's management concept that all kinds of talents are responsible for their own responsibilities and tribal projects are in charge.
The ropes and traps that were placed around the tribe were also a constant source of food and fur for the tribe every day.
The leader and Huzi had learned to ride horses, and it had become a daily routine to ride horses twice a day in the morning and evening to inspect the traps and nooses everywhere.
With the high-speed transportation of Xiaofuma, the distance between the north and east of the Tianlong tribe in a straight line can be carried back and forth in two hours.
Going once a day in the morning and evening, the traps in both directions could provide the tribe with the fresh meat they needed for the day, so that the food obtained from the last hunt was basically not used.
The fish maw glue has not stopped boiling, with these natural biological glues, it makes up for the lack of tools, which cannot be made of fastened and solid wood;
Big Hands was able to make more tables and chairs for the tribe that looked much better, and those that were made of straw rope in the early days were basically gone.
The tables, chairs, benches, cupboards, and shelves for salt and wild fruits in the large dining hall in the pavilion have all been replaced with more elaborate wooden utensils.
Even the totemic tablet in the innermost part of the cave was replaced on a rectangular table covered with linen.
After the rearrangement of the altar, because these changes looked more majestic and solemn, even Wang Tian vaguely felt that the aura of pretending to be a ghost had obviously exploded by N points.
Standing in front of the altar gives people a sense of oppression is becoming more and more obvious, the latest discovery is of course the witch this magic stick, the regular altar, laid with linen cloth immediately gives people a sense of rigor and solemnity.
After discovering this, Wu had already proposed to Wang Tian to wear the same set of clothes that Wang Tian wore when he crossed over.
His glowing eyes seemed to have finally discovered the reason why the gods never ignored him. Wang Tian naturally couldn't refuse Wu's request, but for Wu's idea, countless divine beasts scurried around in Wang Tian's heart.
"Son of Heaven, everyone is the same without clothes, the gods must not recognize me!" Wu said to Yutian in a woke tone.
I'll go, why is this sentence so classic and familiar? Could it be that even that sentence:
“… After turning off the lights... It's all the same! ”
Also from the mouth of this primitive old man?
Wang Tian couldn't say a word about this, what could he say? To overthrow Wu is to overthrow oneself. Of course, you can't do things like smashing other people's jobs and smashing your own.
But if he didn't answer, he was worried that after putting on the sacrificial robe, the witch would still be unable to communicate with the gods when he found out, and he would not be able to stand it!
In this regard, Wang Tian can only take a preventive shot in advance: "Wu, putting on a sacrificial robe for sacrifice, just like we need to wash our hands, burn incense, and bathe before sacrificing, this is just to show our piety to the gods, and it has nothing to do with whether the gods will prompt and wake us up!" ”
"Actually, it doesn't even have a half-dime relationship", of course, Wang Tian muttered in his heart.
"What, you have to wash your hands before the sacrifice, so what is "burning incense" and "bathing"? Any explanation? How? Wu immediately turned into a studious baby and asked non-stop.
Well, it is estimated that this sentence did not work, but it also strengthened Wu's identification with the sense of sacrificial pomp and ceremony, science and theology, now Wang Tian's death hole, can not be touched and helpless......
"Bathing means bathing, and burning incense means smoking on a smoky fire, which means showing respect." Playing with the sky can only answer truthfully.
"Wu, tomorrow the wall will begin to be fully built, and I will rush out the sacrificial clothes tonight, and you will prepare to burn incense, bathe and change clothes, and tomorrow will hold a ceremony to announce the gods."
After saying that, Wang Tian turned around and left, and if he stayed any longer, even he would despise himself, he did not believe in the gods, but he forgot that his arrival was the greatest miracle, and even scientific giants such as Newton and Einstein began to study theology in their later years.
That's because they found many things that science can't explain! Because the unexplained phenomenon of time travel has brought Wang Tian to this era, so tomorrow there will be a wall that does not belong to this era standing on this planet.
This in itself is the greatest unscience.
After Wang Tian left for a while, he came to Wu again, holding a rope ruler in his hand, measuring Wu's shoulder width, arm length, and waist circumference.
To make clothes, these are necessary sizes, and as for the bust, there is no need for it, Wang Tian plans to make him a loose Taoist robe in the same way as Zhuge Wuhou.
If there must be a religion, then Wang Tian does not want to change history, then Taoism, Taoism is the native religion of China, and it should be more in line with the cultural inheritance of the Chinese people.
Buddhism talks about the afterlife, Taoism cultivates the present world, the road descends from the mountain in troubled times, and the Taiping Buddha enters the world Taoism, as a local sect in China, is more in line with Wang Tian's thoughts in concept.
Wang Tian asked Wu to come to the Hanfu he wore when he crossed, and took it as a blueprint to find Ling'er, and to make clothes, as a single dog, he couldn't complete it.
I had to ask for help from Xiao Ling, the weaver girl, and I didn't see Xiao Ling in Hall 4 of the pavilion, so Wang Tian came directly to Hall 1 of the pavilion, which is the place where livestock are raised.
Sure enough, she was found in the pen of the two tiger cubs and the five wolf cubs, and at this time she was having tears on her face, and Wang Tian knew that she was sad because the two tiger cubs refused to eat.
Wang Tian comforted her and promised to let the little tiger cub eat, and then handed over to her the task of making a robe for the witch, along with the Hanfu he had traveled through.
