Chapter 10 Lies Sound Good
After the last charcoal burning, the water tank should be out of the kiln, this time there is no need to worship the gods again, the ceremony is hosted by Gaotao, Yao Chonghua is curious, why every time Gaotao presides, there is no appearance of Wu Zhu?
Because I didn't worship the gods in the morning, I worshipped very solemnly in the evening, and I didn't offer sacrifices to the gods before, but this time, the sheep of Lao Bibo was sacrificed.
This time Gao Tao recited the mantra longer, and Yao Chonghua worshiped with him, this time he worshiped much more seriously, not only because he was afraid that everyone would crusade against him again because of his disrespect for the gods, but also because he wanted to pray to the kiln god that the water tank could be made, not only for his reputation, but also for the common people in the world.
When Yao Chonghua's kneeling leg was sore and painful, Gao Tao finally stopped chanting the mantra and said to Yao Chonghua, "Go ahead." β
Because this time it was Yao Chonghua's kiln, then he had to go in, obviously Yao Chonghua couldn't carry the vat alone, so Shen Tu and Yu Lei also went in with a small torch, there was still residual temperature in the kiln, and the three of them didn't dare to step on it, for fear of touching the charcoal ash that had not been burned out, so they cautiously walked to the water tank that was put this morning, and Shen Tu shone it with a torch, overjoyed, "Ah Hua, it's really done." β
After Yu Lei observed the lines on the cylinder, he was also so excited that he couldn't help himself, "That's right, this texture is really the cylinder we burned ourselves, we are too powerful." β
Yao Chonghua took the torch in Shen Di's hand and shone it back and forth, the entire cylinder was complete, knocking on the water tank with his hand, it was a muffled sound of closing, Yao Chonghua put his mind at ease, and finally made it, it would not be beheaded, and the people could store water, "Well, let's move out." β
The fired pottery was a little lighter than the original, and Shen Tu and Yu Lei asked Yao Chonghua to take a torch to illuminate it, and the two of them carried it out.
The first to go out of the kiln was also Yao Chonghua, everyone outside stretched their necks, looking forward to it, and finally understood that Yao Chonghua came out, but they didn't see the cylinder, thinking it was not done, but when Shen Tu and Yu Lei carried the cylinder out, everyone couldn't kneel, and they stood up one after another, and their eyes didn't dare to move away for a moment.
As soon as Shen Tu and Yu Lei put the water tank on the ground, Gao Tao and Bi Bo took the lead in surrounding, touched the water tank, and the warm touch of the water tank made them realize that this was true, the water tank was really made, the two glanced at each other, sometimes they were too excited and couldn't speak, it was done, it really became, and there was no regret that Bi Bo wanted to be able to do it in his lifetime.
The production of this water tank means that they can also fire large pieces of pottery, and the method of opening holes in the back of the kiln and the role of charcoal have been proven, and their pottery production level will be even higher in the future.
"Look, you see, it's really done."
"It's less than a day."
"And they really did."
The people in the courtyard are talking, now the calmest is Yao Chonghua, there are more torches outside, brighter, he squatted down and held the torch boy to carefully observe the water tank, to see if the water tank has any flaws, turned around, his eyes stopped a little behind the cylinder, and stood up suddenly, with a torch into the cylinder, his head also stretched over, observed, "It's a pity, it's a little close." β
Yao Chonghua's sudden words made everyone stop with joy, they didn't forget that the last water tank was really not done after Yao Chonghua said something negative, and now Yao Chonghua said it again, is that ......
Bi Bo was not calm anymore, "What is a pity? Isn't it already made? β
Yao Chonghua said: "It's done, but there are flaws, you see, there is a small fine line here at the cylinder mouth,"
Gao Tao and Bi Bo also carefully looked at the place Yao Chonghua pointed to, there is indeed a fine line, the lack of lines is not big, but a little long, the vertical extends to the middle, but on this fine line, Gao Tao and Bi Bo feel nothing, they will also have cracks when making pottery, much bigger than this, but it can also be loaded with things, and the first successful water tank, such a degree is already very good, Gao Tao said: "This is already very good, not a failure, we have experience in the future, there will be no cracks when burned, don't worry." β
"Yes, don't worry about this, with experience, next time it will be fine," Bi Bo also comforted Yao Chonghua, and said to the three disciples: "You go and get a jar of water and fill this water tank." β
The disciples were obedient, and directly found the clay pot burned out before the Bi Bo kiln to fill the water and pour the water tank in, and the three cans could only cover the bottom of the tank, which was simple, and Bi Bo asked all the remaining thirteen disciples to fill the water, and after the twelve times that the thirteen disciples came and went, there was no water in the Bi Bo kiln, but the tank was only half full.
Gao Tao grinned and was very happy, and ordered his soldiers: "Go, go to the well and fetch water, and you must fill this tank today." β
The five warriors went out with the disciples of Bi Bo Kiln and went to the well under the big locust tree to fetch water.
The other people here were stunned, they watched Bi Bo's disciples pour water into and out of the water tank, and twenty-nine clay pots had been poured, and they were only half full, what a capacity it must be, Bi Bo is a big family, and the water that is usually prepared is more than half of the small people, but I didn't expect that it could only be filled with half, this tank is too rebellious.
Ren Ding was also shocked, she had been listening to her husband and children talk about the water tank, but she didn't expect it to be so huge, the man who didn't go down to the kitchen didn't understand, if it was full, if it was in their house, it could be used for at least three days, and ordinary people would have no problem using it for seven days, she had to praise the children for doing well and doing the right thing, they really benefited the people.
The disciples came back one after another with a clay pot full of water, and when it was full, it was a whole sixty-five clay pots of water, the people were overjoyed, usually sixty-five clay pots of water can fill the whole house, it is a waste of space, plus there are people every day to fetch water, and it takes a long time to queue up, so they are all using as much water as they need a day, and a few more cans can be used for backup, but the space that this wide and high water tank can occupy must be much smaller, and one day directly hits enough for seven days to come back, You don't have to queue up every day.
Yao Chonghua didn't expect to be able to hold so many clay pots after the water was full, but the more water the better, and he went to see the crack again, no water seeped out, and it was still relatively tight inside.
Gao Tao was overjoyed, he was very satisfied with the capacity of this water tank, patted Yao Chonghua's shoulder, and pulled Shen Tu and Yu Lei, "The three of you are good, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of criticism, and bring the gospel to the people of the world with what you can, I am proud of you, and you will be like this in the future, be the pride of the world, understand?" β
The three nodded solemnly.
Gao Tao turned to the people and said, "Everyone, it is late now, if it is usual, this will be closed, and going out will be punished, but today we have witnessed the birth of a great invention, so Gao Tao will not pursue this fault today, not only do we not close the door, we also want to celebrate together, this water tank has been successfully made, and will enter every household of you in the future, we will no longer be afraid of thirst and no water to drink, and we will not have to queue up to find water to drink." β
The people listened to Gaotao's words and smiled happily, especially when they heard that every household had a big water tank, and the crowd also let out a burst of cheers, "Thank you big chief, big chief benevolence, big chief honorable." β
"We are now grateful to the kiln god once again." Everyone sincerely bowed to the kiln god again.
After getting up, Gao Tao ordered Qin Buxuan to bring up the roasted venison: "This venison is promised to you today, everyone has been sitting here with Gao Tao, now everyone must be hungry, we will let go of our belly and eat it today." β
The people were indeed a little hungry, but they didn't bother to do it for the sake of the water tank, and now the fragrant roast venison was in front of their eyes, and the big chief told them to let go of the food, and the stomach followed the cooing, and the saliva came to their mouths, so they wanted to get the food quickly, and they were not humble to each other.
Yao Chonghua is also very hungry, he doesn't eat much today, and the children who are growing up are beginning to feel a little uncomfortable in their stomachs, but he is still the first time to see people eating meat on the spot, there are three warriors who took out their bronze swords, cut them out one by one, the first one is the best for Gao Tao, according to the dignity of the position one by one, Yao Chonghua has not been divided, Gao Tao saw him holding his stomach, knowing that he must be hungry, so he gave him the meat in his hand, but Yao Chonghua did not take it, everyone sitting was hungry, and the meat was ready to himself, You don't have to eat Gaotao.
Ren Ding saw it, and also gave his own to Yao Chonghua, thinking that Yao Chonghua didn't dare to eat Gaotao's things in public, but his own was fine.
But Yao Chonghua still didn't answer, and then Bi Bo, Shen Di, and Yu Lei all wanted to give him their own, Yao Chonghua was very moved, today he felt too much love and protection, obviously he was a child caught in the flood, not a person here, and they had no relatives or no reason, but he was treated kinder than the father and brother Erniang who were far away in the Yu family, and it was much better than the relatives who threw him into the flood.
They love themselves, but they can't be ignorant of kindness, "The big chief, the lady, the gods, Yu Lei, Lao Bi, Chonghua knows that you feel sorry for Chonghua, so you give Chonghua food, but you are also hungry, Chonghua is the youngest, Chonghua should also respect you, don't give in." β
A few people knew that it was useless to insist on giving it to him.
The people are paying attention to a few big people here, Yao Chonghua's words from the heart are vividly seen by them as a picture of respecting the old and loving the young and caring for each other, whether it is a family or not, the elders must care for the juniors, and the juniors must also know how to respect the elders, so as to get along harmoniously, and when they get home, they have to do this, and the original commotion between the people who secretly pushed each other for venison also quietly stopped.
A subtle education of respecting the old and loving the young quietly began, but Yao Chonghua didn't notice it, because Lord Qin Buxu finally took a piece of venison leg meat to him, "Thank you, Lord Qin Buxu." β
Qin Buxuan smiled and said to him, "Today you are a great hero, so you don't have to let it, hurry up and eat." β
Yao Chonghua said to a few people, "Well, Chonghua has it now, let's eat together." β
I bit into the tender wild venison in my mouth, the meat is firm, chewy vigorously, quite satisfying, but in Yao Chonghua's opinion, it is still a little fat, and it would be better if I added some seasoningγγγγγγ
Except for Yao Chonghua, no one else is so picky, such a delicious venison, I have to taste it well.
When it was time to finish eating, the two fat men and thin men got up and said respectfully to Gaotao: "Great leader, being so happy today is all thanks to the blessings of the Chonghua Sage, and we want to bow to him." β
"Chonghua is smaller than everyone else, where can I afford it?"
"Today we are wrong, Chonghua Sage is right, we should not think that others can't do it with our own short-sightedness, we should think twice before doing things, although Chonghua Sage is small, but then he didn't blame us, and insisted on working for the welfare of our people, and he can afford our courtesy." After saying that, he knelt down.
This can make Yao Chonghua jump, this kneeling and worshipping, he can't use it at all: "Two, hurry up, I can't help it." β
But I couldn't help but the fat man and the thin man didn't get up, and a large group of people knelt down behind him, "Thank you Chonghua Sage." β
"I'm not a saint." The misunderstanding of these people became more and more tired, "Great Chief, tell them quickly, I am not a saint. β
Gao Tao did not deny it, and spoke directly: "Do you remember what I told you at the beginning, if you can prevent the spread of the epidemic after the disaster, then I will also think that you are a saint?" β
Yao Chonghua was dumbfounded, could it be ......
"That's right, a few days ago I vigorously promoted your method of boiling water, and I also sent people to distant tribes, after my visit in the past few days, the epidemic has been greatly reduced, only a few people in a few tribes have passed away due to illness, this time after each flood crossing, the epidemic infection is the least, you succeeded, you saved thousands of lives." Gao Tao was very glad that he didn't give up his method because Yao Chonghua was a child.
"What? The method of boiling water is also the idea of the Chonghua sage? β
"I also listened to the words of the big chief, and drank hot water every day, and the stomach ache after the disaster was gone."
"He can cure diseases, understand reason, and was instructed by the kiln god to make water tanks for us, and he can do anything."
"It's really a saint, let's say goodbye."
Yao Chonghua didn't know how to answer, everyone didn't believe the truth, and they were interested in telling lies.
