Chapter 29: The ...... of the First
The appearance of large pottery is also of great significance to Su Yan.
Human beings have a good habit from ancient times to the present day - love cleanliness.
Primitive people also love cleanliness, unless it is winter, primitive people spend most of the day in the cave, unable to clean the cave, and can not clean up personal hygiene, once the winter passes, they will quickly clean the cave, and also wash themselves from the inside out.
Of course, primitive people have not yet reached the point where they wash their faces and hands every morning, wash their hands before eating, and wash their hands after convenience, and can only reach the point where primitive people themselves think they are clean, and the people of the snake tribe will go to the river to bathe together from time to time.
However, in Su Yan's opinion, it is very uncomfortable to go to the river to take a bath, and the fact that men and women take a bath together without clothes is not mentioned for the time being, just the way of bathing is very difficult.
There are fish in the river, these fish have a certain attack power, anyway, the people of the snake tribe dare not go into the water, and the beasts in the woods do not dare to go into the water easily, the fish is also a fierce animal in the water, but once it is landed, it can only be slaughtered by others.
Because of the fish in the water, people can only quickly scoop some water in the river with their hands and pour it on their bodies, and bathe a little bit in this way, which is very tiring.
After Su Yan fired the pottery bowl, the people of the snake tribe could use the pottery bowl to scoop water for bathing, which was much better than using their hands.
Whether it is by hand or with a pottery bowl, it is very inconvenient for Su Yan, Su Yan even thought of firing a king-sized pottery as a bath, but to accomplish this goal, it will require a larger pottery kiln, and it will take a long time to successfully fire it, just to take a bath is obviously not worth the effort.
So Su Yan replaced the extra-large pottery with the large pottery that had been successfully fired.
Choose the northeast corner of the wall, block off a small area with branches and hides, and then bring three large and full pottery and two large pottery with slight cracks, and mobilize a few more people.
To mobilize the clansmen in order to bathe, Su Yan can be said to be a precedent.
Use a large defective pottery to go to the river to get water, pour it into a large and complete pottery, put it on the stove, add firewood and grass to boil water.
When the water is boiling, pour hot water from a larger pottery bowl into another large whole, and add cold water to it to neutralize the temperature.
It wasn't until the large pottery was filled that the two clansmen carried it into the area that Su Yan had separated.
Then Su Yan played in the water by himself...... No, it's a bath.
The first person to take a hot bath, inadvertently, Su Yan created another precedent.
After taking a bath, although her skin was still so dark, it made Su Yan feel that her whole body was relaxed, very comfortable, and it was not the same as splashing water on her body by the river to take a bath.
The bath didn't end there, Su Yan didn't have her hair unwashed.
Su Yan's black hair is already shawl, and usually the adoptive mother, Xiaohua, and Xiaoyue comb Su Yan's hair, but it will not look messy.
In my memory, you can wash your hair with plant ash, there are many grass and wood gray snake tribes, this time Su Yan also wants to give it a try, and also prepare enough water, it is said that washing hair with plant ash must be washed with water many times.
Bow your head to a large pottery filled with water, your black hair hangs down into the water, and slowly scrub your hair with your hands, after scrubbing for a while, your little hands are stained with black plant ash and rub your hair, and then rub it vigorously, and then put your hair into the water and wash it vigorously.
After pouring out a "bucket" of muddy water, the second "bucket" of hot water was sent over, and Su Yan washed and washed, until after washing it for the third time, he felt that his hair was finally clean, Su Yan stopped, twisted his hair vigorously with his hands, squeezed the water out of his hair, and then spread his hair to find Sister Xiaohua Xiaoyue.
Su Yan sat on the ground, and the little flower and Xiaoyue sisters squatted behind Su Yan, and the two pairs of small hands and five fingers were separated as combs for Su Yan to comb Su Yan's hair that had become black and shiny.
Su Yan's soft hair made the Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters have a lot of fun, and they laughed like bells from time to time.
After a while, Su Yan tied up her hair with a thin straw rope, no longer letting her hair drape her shoulders at will.
If the skin is a little whiter, and the animal skin on his body is replaced by a set of white clothes, a beautiful boy jumps out, and maybe a sword should be added.
In his previous life, Su Yan liked to read martial arts novels, especially the Su family and martial arts, Su Yan often practiced "Su's Boxing Method", and dreamed of becoming a strong martial arts hero, chivalrous and righteous, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, robbing the rich and helping the poor.
In Su Yan's mind, the hero was tall, with a handsome and resolute face, with long black hair and a shawl, holding a sharp sword, and with a light tiptoe to fly the eaves and walk on the wall, stepping on the snow without a trace, and the long hair also fluttered in the wind.
Su Yan once dressed himself up as the image of a hero in his heart, only a long hair can't be made, in that era, except for those so-called artists, which man would have long hair, not to mention Su Yan who was still a teenager, if Su Yan dared to keep long hair, Su's father and mother would educate him well.
The dream that was not fulfilled in the previous life has the opportunity to be completed in this life, maybe Su Yan can still cultivate internal strength, whenever he thinks of this, Su Yan will be excited.
Now that my body is still developing, I can't practice internal strength for the time being, and I can't prove my conjecture about internal strength in my heart, so I have to wait a few years slowly.
Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters are still playing with Su Yan's silky and shiny jet-black hair, the hair is washed with grass ash heating water, this hair is the best quality hair in the snake tribe, Xiaohua Xiaoyue is reluctant to let go, they really want such hair.
However, in order to take a bath and wash his hair by the way, Su Yan called several clansmen and several large pottery, in addition to Su Yan in the snake tribe, only Wu and the leader are eligible to enjoy this treatment, even if Xiaohua Xiaoyue and Su Yan have a very good relationship, they are not eligible for this treatment.
They can only use a pottery bowl to scoop water to bathe and wash their hair by the river, and at most, because Su Yan is related, they can use a large pottery to hold water.
In the Snake Tribe, the firing of adobe bricks has not stopped, and the firing of pottery has not stopped, whether it is intact large pottery or large pottery with slight cracks, they are very useful in the Snake Tribe.
Large pottery with good condition can be used to hold and boil water, large pottery with slight cracks can be placed outside the cave, and in autumn, the fruits picked back for winter can be put into the pottery and covered with a lid, which is much better than putting it in a haystack.
In late autumn, when the weather is cold, large pottery can also be used to hold fish and animal meat, which is very convenient for storage.
