Chapter 032: Participation of the Whole People
Thunder Tiger has confidence in Lydon, the leader of the Brute Bull Tribe.
Not only Lei Hu, Manager Wu, Daddy Li, and Rock ...... Almost most of the members of the Wild Bull tribe have Lyton with extraordinary faith, and this confidence comes from two full meals. Speaking of which, this kind of confidence is so cheap that there is not even anything to praise it. But for the simple savages, it was enough for them to put their faith in the hands of Lytton.
But......
Lytton had no faith in himself.
What happened to make him start giving up on himself?
As mentioned earlier, Lytton and the rocks climbed mountains and waded through rivers in search of clay that could be used to make pottery. But since even he didn't know the true face of clay, he could only choose in the category of clay. Together, the two of them collected a lot of soil samples around the Bull tribe that were considered suspicious, special, and even unidentifiable. The collected samples of the soil were numbered by Lytton and then simply processed by the tribesmen, mashed and crushed, and stacked up.
Now that the clay samples are available and the materials are ready, the next step is to make the clay embryos for the pottery. And Lytton's confidence began with embryo making.
Don't think about the turntable, a tool that potters and porcelain workers must have for making round objects.
There's no way to determine the center of the circle, and there's no carpenter's tools, let alone something as high-end as a bearing, and even if you don't use a bearing, a metal ring is always needed, right? Where did Lytton go to get this kind of thing? There is no place to change it at all, and without the embryo of the turntable, you have to rely on hand to knead a little bit to knead the shape of the pottery. Feel, eyesight, and even aesthetics have become important, and Lytton doesn't have much talent in this area. Well, neither are the rocks, this guy is just a dead brain in this regard, and he can't turn a corner at all.
There are generally two ways to form a retro clay embryo, roll out the clay like a dough, and then cut it and stick it up a little bit. This technique is more commonly used in the production of purple clay pots. The other is to roll the clay into long strips like noodles, and then coil them up little by little, while panning, beat the inside and outside of the clay embryo with a flat wooden board to make it smooth, and then slowly beat the clay embryo into shape. Whether it is the first or the second, it is a time-consuming and laborious chore.
Lytton worked hard all night and made a bowl.
And looking at this half-finished product with his improvising aesthetic, he feels ashamed of being a modern person.
Helplessly, at the dinner party that evening, Lytton announced a decision that made the Manniu tribe extremely excited, and all members participated in the production process of the clay embryo. And announced a seemingly unreliable but very popular decision among the tribesmen: "Whoever makes the clay embryo will use it." Fired pottery, personal belongings belonging to that person. "The Manniu tribe began to enter the era of handmade pottery DIY, and all kinds of pottery products with a strange appearance will appear in the daily necessities of the Manniu tribe.
"The clay samples from the first firing were No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3."
"If you need to sign up in advance, everyone will be given a piece of kneaded clay and asked to make the clay embryo before going to bed at night."
……
The first batch of members who were eligible to sign up were basically tribal warriors, and even Lei Ju grabbed a spot, his face full of excitement, as if the clay embryo he made must be the best-looking.
"Lei Ju, come and get your dirt."
"Too little, give a little more, give a little more!"
Litton felt a little funny, this guy is not small, but his personality is a little small, so he nodded to the rock that was assigned clay, and the latter cut a piece the size of a fingernail and gave it to Lei Ju. This annoyed Lei Ju, and he snorted: "Do you believe it if you are unlucky?" Do you believe that you are going to be unlucky? ”
The rock doesn't eat the thunder giant, it's a big deal to be beaten, and it's not that he hasn't been beaten. Besides, since he followed the leader's footsteps closely, Lei Ju was quite jealous of him, at most he was noisy, and his hands were extinct. On the contrary, Lytton was a good person: "Give him a little more, give him a double portion." ”
"Chief, these are all collected by us from the mountainside little by little, Lei Ju is not ambiguous to eat, but where can he make pottery?" The rock looks bitter and hateful, speaking of which, his honor has been in the Barbarian Bull tribe for more than 20 years, and it is a person who is annoyed to see too much.
Lei Ju roared angrily: "This is what you hunt, and this is naturally what pottery making." Isn't it just digging the soil? I'll go for you another day, just your little arms and small body, I'll be anxious for you when you get to work. ”
The rock's face turned red with anger, and he dared not speak in anger.
"This is what you hunt and this is what you dig for."
As he spoke, he picked up his thumb and dangled in front of the rocks. He simply thinks that the more clay is used, the better, and the thicker and stronger the pottery. But he didn't want to think about it, pottery was really thicker and heavier than stone tools, was it necessary to make it?
"Yours."
"Brother Rock, give me a little more."
This time the rock did not refuse, and secretly glanced at Lytton's back, and quickly ripped a piece from the clay mass and gave it to him. Growing so big, the rock has never enjoyed being respected and called brother, this beauty in my heart! This guy has never been a worthless tribal marginal, and suddenly he has become a tribal celebrity with power in his hands, and he has also begun to feel the changes that power has brought to him.
"Take it."
"Yours one."
"Remember the number, don't get it wrong."
……
When the clay distribution was over, Lytton began to cover up. The method he chooses is to make the shape of the clay embryo little by little by kneading it into thin strips, and then add sticks of wood or smooth stones to make the shape of the clay embryo little by little, a process that requires great care and attention.
But......
Soon, there were shouts in the cave, and the sound was a little indecent.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Ahh
……
What are a bunch of big men screaming about? And as the leader, Lytton had goosebumps all over his body, and he had enough of it. glared and said: "Shut up for me, let me out at random calls, cancel the qualification to make pottery embryos, and replace people in." ”
Only then did the voices of one after another be suppressed.
Lytton has seen people make pottery, and he has also seen the process, whether it is on the video, or in the pottery studio of the real tour, in short, he is a person who has been edified. Even so, the clay embryo he made was still unsightly. Not to mention this group of wild guys, reckless men with five big and three rough, what can be brilliant when doing such delicate work?
Naturally, there are constant mistakes and frustrations.
But the calamity of these people did not stop there, Lytton announced a decision that made all the first tribesmen who participated in the making of the clay embryo to great horror: "All the finished clay embryos need to be checked by the chief, and if they are qualified, they will enter the stage of drying and repairing." ”
"What about the unqualified?"
Lei Ju looked at the ugly mud bowl in front of him, his face was melancholy, and he said in his heart: "It sounds very simple, and it looks very simple, but it's different to do it for Mao himself?" ”
Anyway, he wasn't the only one who had this idea, and what he didn't know was that their leader, Lyton, was also one of them. In later generations, they were called 'handicap parties'.
Fortunately, although Lytton's craftsmanship is not good, at least his vision is still there, and after two days of training, practice makes perfect, and he will not be too embarrassed by his status as a leader. Coupled with the unique shape and design, it can also add a lot of points.
But other people are different, there are fewer ideas in their heads, and they are in a hurry, and their hands are still clumsy......
Lei Ju, who couldn't pant when dealing with a wild boar, was stunned by a ball of mud that was not much bigger than a slap, and he was tired of sweating. There's no way to do it! Among the first batch of more than a dozen people to obtain the clay embryo, the clay embryo he made was the most ugly. This makes him feel embarrassed!
What is the majesty of the hunting captain?
"Mine and yours for it."
The bullied man had an angry look on his face, looking at Lei Ju who was sitting across from him like a mountain, his fist was bigger than his face, and his anger dissipated at least half of it at once. Then he glanced at Lei Ju's lump of mud, and said suspiciously: "Your clay is much bigger than mine." ”
"To change it, to change it?"
"Change." The latter gritted his teeth.
After a while, Lei Hu sat in front of Lei Ju with a shocked face, and asked in surprise: "Brother, your mud seems to be less, eat?" ”
Mud can't be eaten, that's something that even savages know. Of course, Lei Ju also knew it, but he calmed down and didn't lose his temper, but instead glanced at a big bowl made by Lei Hu, not to mention the workmanship, the mouth of the bowl is not even, the belly of the bowl is big on one side and small on the other, but it is still within the tolerable range, at least it looks like a bowl, isn't it?
Then Lei Ju lowered his head and looked at the one he had changed back, and raised his face: "I'll change it with you!" ”
"Brother, you can't just catch me and bully me alone, I'm your brother!"
"Don't talk nonsense, the rules of the hunting team in the future, my share is up to you."
"That's what you said." Lei Hu also knew that it would not be possible not to change it, as long as he wanted more benefits: "But I want your original lump of mud." ”
Lei Ju got up and walked to the person who had changed the clay embryo, snatched his clay, and returned the other party's, who wanted to cry without tears.
……
Not only did it end there, but in the next few days, tribal brawls were frequent, mainly because tribesmen were fighting for the best place to dry their mud embryos.
In this regard, Chief Wu expressed a very high tolerance and said with relief: "The tribe has not been so lively for a long time. ”
Lytton was noncommittal, but looked at the hay and firewood piled up, and said, "Prepare a little more firewood, and you can try to burn it once in a day or two." ”
"Are you sure?" Manager Wu asked nervously.
Then he smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's not easy to make pottery, the tribe has tried for a long time, but it has not been successful, maybe this time it will be done." ”
