Chapter 558: Wild Chrysanthemum Tea
Ye Feng, let's get started! Barr rubbed his hands together, eager to try.
He was very excited to be a part of the creation of something new for the tribe.
Ye Feng nodded, waved his big hand, and began to let people light the bricks.
In order to ensure the success of the brick firing, it is necessary to increase the temperature in the furnace quickly, and the best way to increase the temperature in the kiln is to supply air to the inside.
There is no such thing as a blower in this era, although Ye Feng also made a hand-cranked blower device before, but the efficiency of this thing is too poor, and people will be exhausted if they can't shake it a few times.
So he racked his brains, and finally remembered that when he used to play in the countryside, he saw the kind of bellows that were pushed and pulled by hand.
So, he hurriedly drew a sketch and asked the industrial team to produce it overnight.
Now is the time to experiment with it.
Ye Feng didn't know whether the fan he designed was useful or not, and he was still quite apprehensive.
In order to calm the apprehension in his heart, Ye Feng decided to do it himself.
But after a few pulls, he felt that the bellows actuator was extremely dry.
The surface of the wood that had just been made was very dry and not so smooth, so he hurriedly instructed the clansmen of a pottery burning group: "You, hurry up to the tribe's house and get a little lard!" ”
Although the clansman was very puzzled by Ye Feng's behavior, he still moved and brought two large jars of lard.
Ye Feng's eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
"Uh...... You don't need that much oil. ”
He didn't know what to say.
The clansman was immediately embarrassed.
I took a little oil from the oil jar and gently applied it to the push rod of the sealed box.
Ye Feng pushed the bellows again, and sure enough, this time it was much smoother, and there was no longer the dryness just now.
The pull of the bellows puffs up a large amount of wind, which makes the flame in the furnace burn more vigorously.
The temperature of the air around the brick kiln rose instantly, and the boiling heat wave hit the face like a violent wind, causing the surrounding clansmen to take a few steps back.
"Ye Feng, how long will it take for these bricks to burn, will it take two days?" Barr said against the heat.
He worked by the kiln all day, thinking that he had adapted to working in the heat, but now that he had this powerful bellows, the temperature in the kiln had reached a qualitative increase, and he realized that he was wrong.
Ye Feng looked at the fiery furnace, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Two days is not enough, at least you have to burn it for five days and five nights." ”
"Huh? It's been so long! When the clansmen of the pottery group heard this, they all had a collapsed expression on their faces.
Ye Feng smiled, knowing that they thought the temperature of this kiln was too high, and said: "Okay, okay, look at you like this, you will work hard for five days first, and after five days, I will give you a holiday, seven days!" You can do whatever you want, the tribe won't arrange any work for you! ”
"Really?"
Everyone had a look of disbelief.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "If you think it's fake, it's fake!" ”
When the clansmen heard this, it was as if an electric motor was installed on their necks, and they quickly nodded frantically, and said in unison: "It's true, it's true!" How could a wise man tell a lie! ”
Seeing them like this, Ye Feng was speechless for a while.
In order to burn these bricks, and in order to be able to live that seven-day wonderful holiday, all the clansmen of the pottery burning team mobilized, taking turns to work overtime and change shifts, just to be able to maintain the temperature in the furnace and fire a batch of good bricks.
In the next three days, there will be nothing to do with Ye Feng, and Barr will do this very perfectly.
Ye Feng planned that if the quality of the bricks fired this time was good, then several brick kilns would be built, after all, although this brick kiln could burn more than 1,000 bricks at a time, the number was still very limited, and it could not meet the construction needs of the tribe.
In this way, it not only meets the construction needs of the tribe, but also can be sold to other tribes and made foreign exchange for other tribes.
Of course, there is one most important point, that is, after nearly two years of wind and rain, the wooden wall of the outer wall of the city wall has been cracked, eaten by termites and even fallen off, and it must be repaired with a more stable material.
Ye Feng once thought of directly mining more stable strips of stone to repair the city wall, but mining strips of stones was not an easy task, and it would take a lot of labor. At present, only bricks are the best material for the current situation of the tribe.
In short, if you calculate it this way, the amount required is very huge, and this one brick kiln alone is not enough.
The next day, although he did not have to go to the brick kiln to guide the work, he was not idle at all.
"Ye Feng, if you form a tribal alliance, which tribe is the best to pull in first?" In the conference hall, Duoye held a thick stack of plans and said with a thoughtful expression.
Compared to him, Ye Feng was much calmer.
I saw him drinking tea slowly, this tea is not the kind of green leaf tea, but Chu Yun in the hillside grassland, shrubs and riverside wetlands, these places are very common wild chrysanthemum tea picked back and turned into wild chrysanthemum tea.
Compared with green tea, oolong tea and other precious teas, wild chrysanthemum tea is much easier to make.
Chu Yun now steamed the chrysanthemums he had just picked up, steamed them with water vapor for about 20 minutes, and then spread them evenly on the clean hides, let the wind blow and sun, and then dry them naturally.
This method is faster to dry, after the high temperature sterilization and insecticide of water vapor, it is not easy to have insects in the later stage, and the flowers will naturally shrink when they are steamed, and the flowers should not be broken during the transportation process.
However, the disadvantages of this can also be very obvious, the color and shape will change very much, and its characteristic aromatic smell will become very unnatural, and it will be more inclined to the smell of herbs.
However, compared to plain water, this is much better.
Putting down the teacup, Ye Feng chirped his mouth, and finally said, what is the question? Wouldn't we just pull the Big Tree Tribe, the Rock Tribe, and the Giant Tree Tribe over? ”
"But I don't think they'll say yes!" Taba straightened his face, organized his words, and said again: "Let's just say it first, if they promise to join the alliance, but each tribe has its own gods, if they have to be imposed together, the gods they believe in are different, and there will be fierce conflicts, I am afraid that at that time, not only will our alliance not be established, but it will have other adverse effects on us!" ”
