Chapter 172: Opening the Ruins and Falling Sunflowers

This batch burned a hundred pottery, of which eighty-seven were qualified, which is already a very high percentage, and the defective products are also useful, but they are not suitable for cooking food.

Amid the cheers, the second batch of pottery was put into the kiln, and after the door was sealed, it began to be ignited.

There is no need to worry about the bazaar, Su Yang suddenly felt that the hard work was worth it, and the future of the new tribe was bright, which made him full of energy.

The rice has already sprouted and grown leaves, and generally speaking, the growth cycle of rice is four to five months, and he actually sowed it early, but they did it before, so they went with the flow. Upland rice is much more convenient than rice. At least there is no need to divide the plants and irrigate the fields, which can save too much labor.

And there should already be rice at this time, maybe in the plains or swamps outside, you can't be too greedy, since you have upland rice, you don't want to think so much.

On this day, he led a team to make the kind of vats that made Sima Guang famous in later generations, as well as various pottery bowls, mainly used to hold water and food.

The pottery bowl can be made with a turntable, and it is simpler than the clay pot, but it is a little troublesome to make a pickle jar, first make a jar body, do not seal it on it, do not wrap the edge, then take it off and dry it semi-dry, and then put it on the turntable, stick a circle of mud strips on the opening above, and then let the turntable move, the speed can not be too fast.

After turning, insert your fingers into the mud strip and turn out a concave groove, and then turn the inside and outside of the ditch to form a lotus-shaped opening, and properly press the top edge to complete the kimchi jar.

After the pottery is fired, you can add water to the groove and buckle a pottery lid in the water, so that the opening inside is sealed and the water isolates the outside, as long as the water is added occasionally, you can keep the kimchi in the jar from being bad.

Looking back, make a big vat, this can't use a turntable, because the tank is too big and heavy, and an adult can hide in the vat. Pat a large lump of clay on the ground, step on it with your feet to form a large cake, the size of which is about the same as a manhole cover, and then use super coarse mud to stack it from the edge in a circle, ranging in height from 70 centimeters to 1.5 meters.

After the clay strip is circled, it still needs to be patted, scraped, and ground before it can be formed, and two days have passed.

Su Yang can do the business of driving the ruins, and directly propose to Matsu to eliminate all the clay pots used by the tribe before and replace them with new ones, and he will trade all the old clay pots, plus fifty new ones, and he will take a team of sixty warriors to drive the ruins.

"Okay, you decide, I'll tell the other elders." Maya's words are already fully supported.

The next thing is easy, and the whole clan is very happy to be able to use the new clay pot, and they can't put it down after getting it. And Su Yang is very atmospheric, and he has divided more than 120 new pottery at a time, leaving no inventory. When the next batch of clay pots comes out, they will continue to divide the pottery until every adult can have pottery.

"Su Yang, I'm going to the market too." The merchant girl brought it up as soon as possible.

"Okay, you and Xiao Xia will go." He felt that with so many fighters, safety was not an issue, so it didn't matter how many more people he brought.

In addition, he brought the werewolf with him, as for the materials that can be taken out and exchanged, there is only pottery, and although the rest of the animals are collected on weekdays, such as animal skins and horns, these are all obtained at the risk of his life, and they can also be used in the tribe, so they are not used.

And the clay pot is clay plus labor, and the value is high, so it is very suitable.

Early in the morning, he walked around the tribe, explained the materials for preparing the canteen stove, and waited for him to come back and deal with it later, in addition, a shed should be erected on top of the pottery kiln, and it would rain in spring, and if it rained during the pottery burning, it would definitely have an impact.

Then there are things such as cutting timber, preparing to build a circle of more than a kilometer long wall outside, and when it is completed, the safe area in the tribe will be expanded to about 100 acres, and the per capita area is about 130 square meters, which is completely enough to use.

"Let's go!"

Su Yang doesn't know why he is more excited than us every time he goes out, maybe it's because of his can't stay at home, the outside world is so big, there is no reason not to go out for a walk.

"Sue, hunting on the road?" Prabhu asked angrily.

"Of course we have to hunt, otherwise what will we eat." He eventually took Prabhu's team with him, because in addition to the rocks were the men of the Hooka, sixty elite warriors. And there are more savages in Chun's team, and the way he runs is not suitable for carrying clay pots, and he is not too familiar with the barren team, so it is not easy to use.

Well, the main thing is that he learned the lesson of the last encounter with the Titan Bird, and now he has to travel far to ensure safety, but he left Shabu behind, and the Pangu Axe also left in the tribe.

The lower leg bone of the Titan Bird that he hunted last time was used to make two high-quality spears, which were given to the Hatsa and the Shang Girl, respectively, and he now switched to using spears with bows and arrows, but this combat power is still at the level of five scum and needs to be improved.

There were about two days before the full moon, and they could go to the bazaar in one day, so there was plenty of time to walk slowly, and he hoped to find useful plants and make use of them.

"Oops, almost forgot about the big thing. Ten people came out, and they went back to the tribe and brought the honest people, and we waited here. He almost forgot that the Wu tribe where the honest man is located has a territory, so he has to go and receive it, if he doesn't care, maybe he will be swallowed by the nearby tribes.

Soon ten warriors ran towards the tribe, but fortunately they were not far apart, otherwise they would have to wait for the next time.

"The others rest in place and conserve their strength."

Waiting for this time, he was not idle, just around here and around, looking left and right, basically every plant has to be handed, it is estimated that in his lifetime, he can become a botanist!

"Hey, this thing seems to be, what's that thing called, it's a dish anyway."

Su Yang suddenly made a major discovery, and saw a large piece of rattan that had just emerged, about more than 20 centimeters high, with ovate or nearly round leaves, and the tip was gradually sharpened, as if it was called soft tip vegetables.

The cane of the sunflower can grow to several meters long, and when it matures, it produces white flowers and produces small soft fruits in the color of grapes, like sarcomas, and the juice inside is reddish-brown when pinched, and children often pick them to play.

But sunflower is edible, before the rattan is old, pick the leaves and stems, because the leaves are relatively large, feel meaty, do not shrink much after the pot, and it is easy to cook, it is a kind of vegetable that is more anti-hunger. However, the taste of sunflower cabbage, how to say, is a bit weird, and people with a good sense of taste can eat a faint smell of rotten wood, or musty, earthy.

To be honest, Su Yang himself doesn't like to eat this dish, even if this dish is very cheap in the modern market, it can be regarded as a wild green vegetable, but he is really not used to that taste.

But sunflower is like fungus, it tastes crisp, and as long as it is cooked properly, it is delicious. The most important thing is that the sunflower is easy to cultivate, and it will quickly become a large vegetable field in the coming year, which will fight hunger. In this era of lack of vegetables, sunflower vegetables are a treasure.

PS: Two days off on the weekend, there will be an update! (To be continued.) )
