Chapter 030: Soil
Without considering the strength of both sides, Lytton memorized the map of the Yantu tribe.
This map is likely to indicate the exact locations of a dozen or even dozens of tribes around the Wild Bull Tribe, as well as the materials produced by these tribes scattered around the Wild Bull Tribe. The wild currency is still at the point where it is not enough to circulate and use, and the most transactions are made in exchange for goods and goods.
Then, as a tribe with commercial potential, the Yantu tribe must know the goods produced by each tribe and the value in the other tribes.
Lytton also wanted to know, but his purpose was not to make money and run merchants to make a difference, but to find out about the materials found by the surrounding tribes.
If copper is discovered, then metal weapons are on the agenda.
If iron ore is found......
Hmph, who has the final say in this country, you have to weigh it carefully.
Well, with the current strength of the Barbarian Bull Tribe, he is thinking about stealing the top secret of the Yantu Tribe, which is indeed a bit too much. In fact, Lytton was sitting on a hillside, in a daze facing the special mud provided by the Thunder Tiger. For Thunder Tiger, the mud is all the same, for Lytton...... It seems to be the same. It's just that the special mud that Lei Hu said is very dark in color and has a dark red appearance, which is rare around the Manniu tribe. And what can be clearly distinguished is that this mud is sandwiched between two layers of stone, and it is not easy to mine.
Actually, this kind of dirt may not have been considered dirt before, but was a stone. It is only after the natural elegance that it is softened and crispy, and the characteristics of the earth are revealed.
But even so, Lytton couldn't tell what was so special about this kind of dirt. The only thing that makes him feel a little hopeful is that this kind of thing is that you are afraid that it is very hard, but after being crushed hard, it is very fine, and it can be blown away with a light breath.
He vowed to find clay to make pottery, and he was afraid that he would have to grope for countless failures.
"Let me take care of it. Clay, clay, and clay seem to be different, so don't you remember reading them in that book? Damn, why can't you remember? Lytton told himself that he had to be calm in order to gather useful information. He muttered to himself alone, and in the distance, Lei Ju and Lei Hu bowed their heads to each other, while the rock was isolated to the side.
"Brother, I believe that the leader will succeed." Lei Hu was undecided, but he still chose to side with Lyton.
"Fuck off, what's the use of what do you believe." Lei Ju roared: "Hey, I'm strange, you don't even talk to the leader on weekdays, why don't you see you for a long time as if you've changed a person?" What the hell are you hiding? Or did he give you the drugged? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the leader is not the kind of person you say."
Lei Ju glared: "Then what kind of person do you say?" ”
Lei Hu coughed to make himself more confident: "The other members of the tribe are saying that the leader has not failed since he was favored by the gods, and he can perform miracles repeatedly. This is God's will......"
"Bullshit's will."
Lei Ju slapped away the fingers of Lei Hu's raised hand, destroying his action to indicate the heavens. Seeing that the big fist of Lei Ju clay pot had been raised high, he was immediately shocked and said: "The leader said that as long as the pottery is successful, he will make me a set of cooking utensils, not only a bowl, but also a pot for cooking meat......
"What about me?"
To say not to envy, that is false. As the first warrior of the tribe, Lei Ju had his brother Lei Hu the most exquisite cooking utensils in the tribe, and he didn't. Where does this leave his old face? In addition, the barbarian tribe did not produce pottery, not that it could not produce pottery, but the pottery burned out could not be used at all, and it would be broken if it was touched, let alone boiled meat on the fire, and the water seepage was very strong. Coupled with a fishy smell, the people of the Manniu tribe had no intention of burning pottery by themselves.
And it is not easy to get fine pottery from other tribes.
The only animal skins are worthless, and the people of the Yantu tribe also maliciously lower the price, resulting in the tribe not even being able to exchange basic supplies. And the Manniu tribe has not yet been extravagant enough to exchange people for pottery.
"What about me?"
Lei Ju said that he should have it too. But he didn't dare to ask Li Dunming for it, so he could just grab a set from his younger brother.
Lei Hu stared at the beads of his eyes, and there was a panic in his heart, what virtue did his eldest brother have, could he not know? Whenever this expression speaks to him, he basically takes a fancy to his baby. And this time, it is estimated that it is a pottery cookware, and he hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't even think about it, you can't catch me alone and bully me, I won't give it this time." ”
"Big brother has always taken care of you, so you can't give big brother anything."
"You can't hit me, I'...... Oops......"
Rock had a calm face, and he was quite speechless in the face of the Lei brothers. Lei Ju's deception of good and fear of evil began with his younger brother. Of course, there are still a few people in the tribe that he can't afford to offend. Wu is one, the former leader is one, and there is Lytton. With Lydon's several initiatives, it has brought earth-shaking changes to the Brute Bull tribe. At least, this winter, the Wild Bull tribe will be extremely comfortable. Because there is enough food, the tribe will not have to give up some of the old, weak, sick and disabled when winter comes.
"You two, can you stop a bit. Don't you see the leader thinking? "The rocks were like boiling water dripping into hot oil, and Lei Ju exploded all at once.
Lei Ju roared angrily: "Rock, don't be a big-tailed wolf, if it weren't for the leader's hand-in-hand teaching, you really think you can make a trap like a fish cage?" ”
"That's right, I don't have any credit, it's all the help of the leader that makes me, a person who is of little use to the tribe, have a place to stand. But don't forget, if the tribe is not short of food in the future, what will you warriors do in the future? Rock sneered, this sentence was like a dagger, stinging in Lei Ju's heart. Oh, yes! There is no shortage of food for the tribe, there is enough meat to eat, and the source is simpler and safer.
Warriors who originally provided creatures for the Horde, what use did they have?
According to the traditional hunting method, the little food harvested is estimated to be unattractive to Lytton and the witch manager.
Lei Ju couldn't help but have a headache, and if he wanted to harvest more prey, just the six people of the hunting team, I'm afraid don't count on it.
But if they don't win by numbers, what else can they rely on as warriors?
Lei Ju is definitely the kind of master who loses but does not lose the battle, and boasted violently: "Rock, you better think about yourself more." The hunting party is not something that you, the expelled person, should worry about, and besides, I've got a big plan for the new hunting environment, and you'll be surprised when the time comes. ”
After saying that, he turned his head violently and left.
Lei Hu followed Lei Ju's side and asked vigorously: "Brother, you said a big plan, what a big plan, why don't I know?" ”
"Oops."
This is Lei Hu being bullied as an elder brother again, and Lei Ju is completely annoyed and angry. Where does he have any big plans, it is all to plug the mouth of the rock, and if he loses, he will not lose the battle, he Lei Ju is a warrior who is famous in the Barbarian Bull Tribe, how can he admit it in front of the rock?
Rock looked at the backs of the two brothers and couldn't help but shake his head: "I hope." ”
And Lytton was in a daze for nearly two hours, and finally seemed to remember something, and called the rock and commanded: "Do you see this circle of soil?" ”
"Red soil sandwiched between two layers of stone?"
"That's right, use a bone shovel to get it out, and pack some more."
Lytton didn't know anything about pottery, and he knew that ordinary floating clay on the surface could not be fired into pottery. Because which clods can only be burned into bricks. And the choice of clay is really difficult for him to distinguish. If you add kaolin, these vulgar soils, Lytton can only scratch blind.
The method he chose was actually very simple: after making pottery from various kinds of clay, it was numbered and fired uniformly, and finally the kind of soil that could be used was left.
This kind of screening can be selected from five or even ten types of dirt at a time.
If you're lucky, you can find the perfect clay for pottery once in a single attempt.
Thinking of this method proves that Lytton is already on the right path, all he needs is time, and he doesn't need to wait too long.
