Back in the tribe, the food preparation has been completed, and Wu Zheng is leading the people to hang the previously dehydrated fish into the cave, and all the shelves in the cave have been set up.

Wang Tian instructed the witch food not to be hung indiscriminately, and to hang it in the cave // at the door first, and to eat it first when it was taken, so as not to be confused.

Wu nodded yes, looking at the reorganized cave and feeling satisfied. It turns out that if you get it a little bit, it will look so comfortable, why hasn't anyone thought about it before?

Wang Tian looked at it and planned to divide the cave into a partition, it would be good to be able to build the wall before the winter of this year, and the house could only be built until next year.

Wang Tian called Shang Wu and the thin head Tuo who was peeling bamboo in the tribe today.

He planned to use the left side of the cave entrance as a kitchen, where he would make food in the future, and connected the middle of the bamboo from the pond to the end as a water pipe to lead the water to the mouth of the cave.

The innermost part of the cave is used as a storage area for food, and after the axe is made, several shelves are made, and the grass and wild fruits of various plants are packed into bamboo frames and placed on the shelves.

This is more ventilated than piling up in a pile and can keep food for longer. Some perishable wild fruits are cut and pitted, the flesh is made into dried pulp, and the edible kernel is also collected and put away, which is a good thing, generally rich in iron and calcium, which can promote people's intellectual development, and it is rich in various vitamins that can improve the balance of human nutrition.

The stems of various plants excavated are dried in water, and then buried in the ground outside the cave, covered with some plant ash and covered with a layer of river sand, so that the root food can be isolated from the air and is not easy to produce mildew.

All the sleeping people's floors should be covered with reeds and dry grass, and moss and turf plants should be collected from the river and in the shade, which are also good insulation materials, and the whole piece can be mated and covered after being retrieved and dried.

The personal hygiene of the people in the tribe must also require them to develop good habits, at least no lice on their bodies, wash their hair and bathe frequently, wash their hands before eating, and so on. In this era, a small disaster or illness may cause irreversible consequences, and what can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible. When the pottery comes out, you can drink hot water, eat cooked food, and the disease can be controlled from the mouth.

Wu and Slender Toutuo naturally had no objections, they saw the spacious and flat cave after tidying up, and naturally understood the benefits of doing so.

It was almost noon, Wang Tian asked someone to roast the fish, and he went to make a bamboo tube to cook the soup. I found two yam-like roots, washed them, tasted them, and they were a little bitter, and cut them into pieces and put them in a bamboo tube with the fish and fruits. I made a total of ten, and I didn't cook it, so I just asked people to send a few to the sunspots.

He called the little spirit to sit together and think about how to make a dung basket out of bamboo.

He drew an open dung basket on the ground in the shape of a garbage hopper.

Generally, in later generations, it was used to pick up sand and make good farm manure. That's why it's called a dung basket.

There is also a kind of finely woven and slightly longer pinch basket, which is generally used to pick up small grain crops such as millet and beans on the threshing floor.

Dung baskets and dustpans are generally made of bamboo. In later generations, there was another shape that was the same as the basket, but it was woven with wicker. The wicker is softer, the gap in the middle is very small, this is generally used to remove the bran or remove the sand particles in the grain, some places are called dustpans, generally speaking, the round ones are called dustpans, and in some places dustpans are called two kinds, the deeper ones are called the height of the dustpans, and the diameter will not be very large. And the other kind of dustpan that has no wall edge except for the mouth is called a dustpan, the diameter of this can reach more than one meter, and it is very common to have a meter of five five meters and six meters.

The dung basket is an indispensable tool for making bricks and repairing walls, and it can be used to pick up soil and bricks, river sand, etc.

Symmetrical round bamboo products are easier to make, this kind of open workpiece is more troublesome to make, Wang Tian thought for a long time and couldn't remember, how to make the sharp corners like zongzi on the dung basket that he had seen in later generations. Should it start with the opening, or should it be the other way around?

Wang Tian drew the graphics in detail, and after carefully explaining to Xiao Ling, he threw it to Xiao Ling and left it alone. Since you can't think of it now, you don't have to worry about it. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the more people there are, the more wisdom. Three stinkers are better than one Zhuge Liang. It is necessary to cultivate all kinds of talents, and it is impossible to do everything well by yourself.

The basket was handed over to Xiaoling, the pottery was handed over to Heizi, the construction team was given to the slender head, the ironmason work was handed over to the second brother of King Kong, carpenter, weaving, and metal smelting......

Ay! There are too many things to do, Wang Tian felt confused for a while, standing on the shoulders of giants in later generations, and with thousands of years of civilization accumulation, if you want anything, just open Taobao and search directly. But now everything is starting from scratch, and the hardships are not for outsiders.

After lunch, Wang Tian came to the kiln with a ball of hammered iron. I asked if there was any abnormal noise during the blackspot kiln, and he was worried that the red brick mold in the kiln would be broken.

After learning that it was safe, Wang Tian walked to the axe mold, and the half of the mold made in the morning had hardened enough to support the upper mold.

Wang Tian spread large leaves on the horizontal surface of the mold, then put the weathered stone axe back into the groove, and crushed the mud that had been dried in the morning and began to harden, crushed it into powder with stones again, added water and mixed into mud.

After two blends, the mud has become very delicate, Wang Tian grabbed the mud into an egg-sized ball, threw it vigorously on the weathered stone, wrapped its whole body, pressed it hard and continued to add mud to it, and again piled up into a rectangle the same as the lower mold. Pick up a bamboo knife and cut off one corner of the two molds, which is a mark made so that the upper and lower molds are perfectly aligned. After it is done, a fire is burned on the edge of the mold to speed up the hardening of the soil.

When it is almost hardened, remove the fire, uncover the upper mold, take out the weathered stone axe, and cut through the clay on the opposite side of the back of the upper and lower mold axes with a knife. Then dig out some of the soil at both ends of the handle to connect the mud fan, and put in a mud stick with a diameter of the handle hole, and add a branch in the center of the mud stick to ensure that it will not be deformed. After inserting, press tightly and flatten the horizontal surface.

Then dig out the grooves corresponding to the handle holes at the upper die, and the two groove holes should be dug a little smaller than the mud fan. After everything is confirmed, the upper mold is covered, and the protruding mud at both ends of the lower die is squeezed into the groove of the upper mold, and the gap is filled. After that, the upper and lower molds are aligned, and the surrounding areas are re-coated with mud to turn the upper and lower molds into a single unit.

So that the model of the ax is done. This kind of model can only be used once, and when it is dry, it will be erected, and the mud fan in the middle can be seen from the position of the opening on the back of the axe, and after pouring the molten iron, under the action of gravity, the molten iron will fill the inner space of the entire mold, and the place where the mud fan is blocked will form a handle hole.
