Chapter 39: Hypocrisy

The fire was quickly set up, and the elders were asked to sacrifice first, as usual, so as not to carry the black pot in case of failure.

Su Yang tried to drill wood for fire, but he didn't succeed, and sure enough, theory and practice are two different things.

Among the ten people selected by the collection team, there are two aunts and two aunts, that is, aunts. These four Ma Mu, along with him, are all candidates for the next generation of elders, five out of one, but now they are all under his command for the time being.

In order to take care of his family, he left both men and women of the Su family's bloodline in the tribe, the male warriors patrolled the neighborhood, and the female boiled salt here, which was definitely safer than outside the tribe in comparison.

"Auntie, sister-in-law, aunt, third aunt, you come to light the fire. The rest come and grind the beans. Su Yang commanded loudly.

Grinding beans is a difficult job, because there is no stone mill, he can test the grain of the stone mill, but there is no iron tool to chisel out the texture, and the iron shaft is also needed to connect the upper and lower grinding stones, so now it can only be operated by hand.

The method is naturally very old, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and at the same time, it will waste a lot of beans, and finally it will have to be simply filtered and precipitated to get soy milk.

He taught a few elders to control the size of the heat, because it had to be boiled for seven or eight hours to evaporate more than 85 percent of the water, which had to be slow-cooked over low heat. As for when to add soy milk and marinade halfway, you have to try it to know.

Seeing that this side was proceeding according to the requirements, he hurried to the place where the pottery was made, and the newly assigned twelve people were already in place, but he didn't know how to start. He acted as a teacher, starting from soil selection and kneading, to sifting, kneading, and shaping......

It just so happened that he was going to make a furnace to melt the meteorite that he had exchanged before, so he took these people with him. In his memory, he has seen dissolved iron and mending pots, as well as dissolved aluminum spoons and processed jewelry, so he used fine sand to model.

The axe is also simple, the shape comes out, and when the time comes, when it is opened, you just need to leave a space in the middle of the axe to insert the wooden handle. As for the veterinary tools he was going to use, they were usually made of copper, which was not as easy to rust as iron, and it was more appropriate to use meteorite now.

There are four main kinds of gadgets, the first is a knife, the length is more than ten centimeters, the shape is very similar to the hour and minute hands of a clock, the top is opened on both sides, the tip is also very sharp, and the lower handle is round, which is two concepts with a scalpel. This castration requires two knives, slightly different in size and appearance, and is aimed at different beasts.

The second is like an enlarged version of the needle, the length is also more than ten centimeters, and if you want to use a filament, you can use a horsetail instead. This is mainly used for castrating feathered birds, and it is also the most difficult to operate, Su Yang probably failed to castrate 200 chicks before he was able to practice his craft above the passing line.

The third is relatively simple, a spoon, the length of the same more than ten centimeters, shaped like an enlarged version of the ear scoop, this is also a must.

The fourth type is a bit cumbersome, the same length, the width of the little finger, like a flat shoulder, elastic, and with locks on both sides, just like the buckle of the photo frame, mainly used to fix the expansion.

In fact, the latter three are for the male in the castrated birds, this is necessary, it grows faster after castration, and there will be no thoughts in that regard, so it will not run around, and the temper is docile.

After thinking about it, Su Yang decided to give up the fourth tool, because it couldn't be built, and instead replaced it with fixed wood products, which was also okay. And the first three, as long as they are properly maintained, are not a problem to use for decades, once and for all.

The stove he wants to make is very small, about forty centimeters high, thirty centimeters in circumference, small has small benefits, the fire will be more concentrated, and the temperature will be faster. The structure of the furnace, like a miniature version of the stove, is made of yellow refractory clay, and a groove is constructed inside, and once the molten iron is dissolved, it can be poured out and poured into a fine sand mold, and after cooling, it is formed.

That's how it works, it's very simple to put it bluntly, but it's not so easy to do in practice, he took twelve people, worked for two days, and only got two stoves in total. There is a spare, the internal shape is also a little different, and when the time comes to fire it out at the option.

During this period, the salt was also boiled, and eight pots of salt were boiled in two days, and the amount of salt in each pot was about one catty or three taels, but only four pots of good salt were produced, and the other half became inferior because of the heat problem, but it was much better than the black salt scraped out by the charcoal fire.

The appearance of salt caused a sensation among the tribe, and the four elders were even more happy, and held bonfire parties one after another, singing and dancing, but delayed the construction period for a long time.

Su Yang's status was improved again, he asked Chun to send a message to Jiang Li, every time the hunt was successful, after the harvest was distributed, the chaotic tribe would take meat to boil or roast, and then distribute it to the warriors of the rock tribe to eat, which was not considered to destroy the distribution law of the rock tribe, because the warriors ate the meat of the chaotic tribe.

However, this meat will not be eaten in vain, and in the end, Su Yang will find a way to repay it, which has spread implicitly among the warriors. The impact was very great, thinking that Matsu wanted to control the warriors at the beginning, and in the end, three of them did not surrender.

And the warriors who went out hunting this time included those three people, after receiving the benefits of Su Yang, and knowing that hunting can be done in the future, and they can eat meat outside and come back, they immediately became close to Su Yang.

In other words, Su Yang won the support of the fighters. In addition, there are a total of 21 people in the pottery team, led by Ta Matsu, he can be said to be a teacher, and the food is distributed by him, so these people also respect him very much.

He also said that the boiling salt team, he gave unlimited fire rights, beans can be tasted at will, soy milk can be drunk at will, and the last bit of marinated bean curd foam can also be taken away. Even these women secretly dipped their fingers in salt to ****, but he turned a blind eye and acted as if he didn't know.

This is a good person, and he quickly won the favor of the collection team, thinking that he can take advantage of working with him, there is no danger, and the food that should have been distributed is also a lot, and the quality has improved.

As for the children's team, not to mention, he is now the king of children.

Now the situation in the tribe is very good, but this is just a bluff, if he rises up now, saying that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, it is estimated that he will be deprived of his existing rights in a few minutes.

Therefore, maintaining the current situation and starting from the outside is the smart way, just as his relationship with the chaotic tribe has grown by leaps and bounds, and he can take advantage of the situation when the time comes.

This will be he is guarding the boiling salt, as for the pottery to be burned, there is no hurry, and when the quantity is too much, the batch firing will also save the waste of firewood. The finished stove also needs to dry in the shade for some time, and it is not ready to use it yet.

"Auntie, now you can put soy milk." Su Yang instructed that he was formulating standards, that is, when to put soy milk, how to maintain the heat, etc., all of which were standardized, and after making sure that good salt could be obtained, the salt would be boiled in large quantities.

"Okay, let's put it!"

There are three clay pots in front of him, and he puts soy milk at different water levels, and the amount of soy milk and the size of the fire are also a little different, just to see what degree is better.

Soon the soy milk was put into the pot, and a piece of white foam surfaced almost instantly, and then it was scooped out with a colander made of bamboo, which was edible, containing salt and rich in protein. What people eat is nothing more than carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Eating only one is definitely not good for the body, and all three can be consumed in a balanced way to live a long life, of course, this is theoretical, and the rest have various vitamins or something, it is too complicated, and he doesn't want to figure it out.

The women who boiled the salt themselves could not finish it, so they distributed it to the children at home, and the soy milk was also divided when they were not used up, which was very popular among the tribe.

Su Yang also took this opportunity to collect ripe beans and prepare them to be sown in the place where the pottery had been burned, using the principle of slash-and-burn cultivation to plant. Also, he began to plan the excrement area, the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the excrement will be the best fertilizer at that time.

In addition, the excrement in the rabbit nest can also be used, so there is no need to worry about the sequelae of slash-and-burn farming, and the land can be kept fertile all year round.

After his thoughts diverged, he quickly dispatched three people from the pottery team to make a batch of rough baskets, and let the hunting warriors go out to take them and pick up the animal feces they saw outside.

But there is actually nothing to dirt about picking up dung, in the early days of Greater China, dog feces were rushed to pick up, and it could be sold for five cents a catty.

When pigs and cattle are raised next year, there will be no need to worry about fertilizer, and then it will be a virtuous circle.

"Sue, I found it, I found it." Suddenly, a warrior ran back in a hurry.

Su Yang was staring at the salt pot and asked suspiciously, "What did you find?" ”

"That's it, you let us chase animals, ****, lick the place of the stone, and find it." The warrior licked his fist exaggeratedly, and finally made his meaning clear.

After Su Yang figured it out, he immediately became excited, and hurriedly instructed the women to continue to boil salt, and finally see which pot of salt was the best, so they would cook it in the same way as before.

After explaining, he patted the grass ash on his hand and hurriedly said, "Where is it, take me over to have a look." ”
