Chapter 16: Burn some mud and have fun

After eating barbecued food without salt for a long time, Wang Chuan's desire to cook pottery and soup grew like a weed in spring. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although buried soil barbecue will also have some other flavors, but the difference between that and barbecue is not that big. Now that I've eaten enough, it's normal to have some higher requirements.

He had just gone to the place where the adults were digging the kiln and had taken a look. I wanted to see if the children could dig the kiln, but it turned out that it was unlikely to be done. The first is that the autumn wind blows the dirt dry and hard. If you prick it hard with a stone spear, a small lump of dirt will fall, and at this hardness, digging with the strength of a child and backward tools is enough to make people desperate. The second is that the geological knowledge is not learned well, and the selected place to dig the kiln cannot be dug kiln. Zhuang Niu heard that this hole was dug and could be cooked and eaten, so he was not afraid of hard work and dug it for a long time. As a result, I dug into it less than ten centimeters, and found that it was actually a layer of stones!

This time, even if the adults came, it would be useless. Unless the tools or gunpowder of the later generations are used, this small cave of less than two meters is considered a waste.

This made Wang Chuan feel that the blow was not small, and he sighed that it was really difficult to let the people of the tribe drink soup and eat meat.

"Mantou, you said that without a kiln, can't you burn ceramics?" Wang Chuan asked the child who was following him.

The child next to him is Qiao's daughter. Actually, it's not called steamed buns. According to the tribe's naming habits and ingenuity, this girl should be called Ling. However, Wang Chuan was full of resentment about the tribe's naming habits, and felt that it was better to call a good girl what spirit than to call oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and rice steamed buns. So in private, he usually called this girl by the name of all kinds of food and ingredients.

As for whether he has a grudge against his name "Roaring Fire Boy" deep down, this is unknown.

She is now the same as Zhuang Niu, almost Wang Chuan's follower, the two children sleeping on Wang Chuan's bed, and the other one besides Zhuang Niu is her. However, she and Zhuang Niu have different ideas about having meat to eat with Wang Chuan, she follows Wang Chuan because she likes to learn everything that Wang Chuan taught. So far, she's been successful.

Her strong learning ability was the most amazing in the tribe before Wang Chuan came, and she could remember everything that could be eaten around the tribe as told by adults or children older than her, so she was also the most able to find something to eat among the children. Now she is also the fastest one to learn what Wang Chuan said. She can repeat many things that Wang Chuan has said and is too lazy to repeat, and she can be Wang Chuan's assistant teacher to teach a lot of things to the tribesmen.

Because of this, Wang Chuan didn't mind much about her follower behavior and the action of occupying his bed. Sometimes Wang Chuan can still talk to her, but she usually doesn't understand, such as now......

"What is ceramic?"

"In general, ceramics are a kind of thing that holds things. The porcelain is relatively high-grade, this can be ignored, we will be very satisfied with the pottery first. ”

"Is this something like a basket?"

"It's different, it can also cook things."

"Like a bamboo tube?"

"It's close."

It is said that the limitation of human beings is not knowing what they do not know. That is, a lack of imagination about what you haven't seen. Of course, the spirit can only understand ceramics that he has not seen in terms of what he knows. She could think of these things, which showed that this child was really smart.

"Then make it and take a look." The girl's eyes were sparkling, and her face was eager to try. The things made by Wang Chuan have always exceeded her imagination, but they have always been magical. She couldn't help but wonder what it was.

"But without a kiln, it can't be burned."

"Oh." The spirit was depressed. That's right, if everyone is unhappy, their hearts will be more happy. Wang Chuan felt much more relaxed, but he always felt as if he could fire ceramics without a kiln.

"What's that steamed bun?" The only person who can ask this kind of question is generally a strong cow. He can always find exactly what he can eat in a world of thousands of things. Like now.

"Manju...... That's ......" The two words suddenly reminded Wang Chuan of something, steamed bread, kiln, steamed bread kiln......

"Hahaha......" As if something suddenly became transparent, Wang Chuan laughed and pinched Ling's face fiercely, and said with a smile: "The steamed bun is her, she is the steamed bun." What a ...... What about the small steamed buns, haha. ”

He suddenly remembered something about burning pottery on the flat ground. At that time, he met a girl from an ethnic minority in the southwest, and in order to understand this girl, he specially checked the information of the girl's hometown, and it turned out that they would also burn pottery by local methods. He also asked the girl about this, and the girl said, "It's very simple, just pile it on the ground and burn it", and then I vaguely remember that the girl also said, "It's okay to cover it." Wang Chuan later inadvertently learned that this was the pottery burning method of the legendary steamed bread kiln.

It's a pity that they seem to have talked about this, if they can talk about other things, maybe he won't save any cats at home, he may be burning ceramics in the southwest ravine now, followed by a gentle appearance moistened by those mountains and rivers, and a fiery heart...... Well, don't think about it so much, let's burn pottery.

Pottery has a lot of attention in later generations, but Wang Chuan knows that if there is no requirement for pottery, burning pottery is just to burn the kneaded mud into shape. The most important thing for the tribe is to have it first, right? The pursuit of quality is a matter after meeting the basic requirements for use.

Since this is planned, there is no need to look for black clay or the like, there is a lot of soil at the location of the kiln, and the water is drawn with a bamboo pipe, and the embryo is made with mud on the spot, and by the way, the children are also picked up by the firewood, and it is fired here.

The children of the tribe are obviously very interested in playing with the mud, and the meat can be eaten after the meat is burned, but I wonder if the mud can be eaten after it is burned? If you want to know, then be obedient and pick up firewood.

If you don't have tools, you won't sift the soil. The strong ox has great strength, and the work of mud is handed over to him, let him find out the sand and gravel branches and leaves in the soil at the same time, and he can still do it.

You don't have to do it yourself, and you're followed by a child who wants to learn everything. If you don't teach her, maybe she will be in a hurry. Then let her do it together.

After the strong ox mixes the mud into a dough shape, it first teaches the spirit to pinch the bowl. There is no rotator, this bowl can be pinched out of a circle, and the thickness is about the same. The people of the tribe have a large amount of food, and the caliber is larger, and there are no requirements for the rest. As for the opening on it, there is a fingerprint, that's not a thing. In fact, the bowl made by the spirit is still very perfect, and it is not much different from that of the later generations.

For the first time, I don't plan to burn too complicated. With a bowl, a few more pots that can cook soup are almost enough. Add a few spoons at most and you're done.

Just pinch a few spoons in your hand. The basin should be roughly considered for some size, and then the bottom of the basin should be pinched first, and then the basin should be pinched layer by layer with the wire rod method to pinch the basin to a sufficient height.

Six or seven clay pots, sixty or seventy clay bowls, and a dozen or so long-handled spoons, which should be about the same.

The kneaned things are left to dry in the shade in a waste cave for a day. The next day, he spread two meters of dry dry wood on the ground with dry branches and one foot thick, put the pottery embryos on the pile from large to small, covered it with hay, and used silt to paste the whole pottery pile firmly. Leave only one ignition and a few small holes in the top to smoke. After lighting the fire, even the ignition port is sealed. The rest depends on God's will and the laws of natural reaction.

The small holes in the steamed bread kiln smoked in the eyes of the children for two days. When the smoke finally stops. Wang Chuan carefully knocked open the mud seal that had become very hard outside. Wang Chuan felt that lifting the bride's hijab on the wedding night was nothing more than that. Fortunately, there was not only a pile of lumps left in the black ash under the mud.

The children were disappointed with the fact that they couldn't eat anything that was dark and uneaten. They couldn't tell the quality of these pottery, they didn't know what Wang Chuan was talking about, what the hell should be sifting the soil next time, and they didn't know where Wang Chuan said with a happy face that there was soup to drink this time. I don't understand what Wang Chuan has repeatedly asked to be careful.

A child who had taken the bowl and didn't know it had to look at it for a long time, knocked it and felt that the bowl was a little hard, as if he had figured out something, he learned to polish the stone like an adult polishing a stone tool. He crouched down and was about to pick a suitable tip from the shards when two rattans immediately slammed into his exposed bare ass.

This time it's mixed doubles. The spirit who had pinched the mud for a long time was no lighter than Wang Chuan's shot.

With the miserable cry of the child, this time everyone knows what it is to be careful.

The success rate of this kiln is not bad. Of the sixty or seventy bowl embryos, more than fifty were successful, and six or seven clay pots were opened, and only one was cracked, and one was broken. But it's still available. The cracked ones are used to fill the mother's food, and the broken ones can be cooked less. The spoon is basically cooked, and it seems that eating meat and drinking soup will not be a problem today.

Take the children to carefully wash off the dust on it, and let them take the bowl back for later use. The clay pot also needs to be coated with a layer of silt on the outside to prevent it from suddenly being heated and broken. In the tribal kitchen, the stones were made into a stove, and the clay pot was connected to the water and put on it, and the barbecue was goodbye.

The crocodile meat is too chai, and I don't want to eat it for a long time. It just so happens that a fawn that I hunted yesterday hasn't had time to smoke and roast, so let's eat it today.

Once the water is boiling, put the bone-in venison in it. I can't stand eating only meat every day. The half-dried soil poria scrapes off the skin, cuts it into large pieces, and puts it in together, and when cooked, this thing is all starch, and it chews a bit like a potato, but it is much harder. Then ask my mother for a little sun-dried shiitake mushrooms and put them in for fragrance. The collected salt fruit is ruthlessly put on a handful, what else does this soup say?

The road to civilization is always long. Wang Chuan held his bowl and looked at the demons and monsters in the cave, comforting himself so much.

Wang Chuan, who drank wine and drank fire, saw it, and drank soup to complete martial arts, Wang Chuan opened his eyes.

This thing has clearly been drunk once. Last time, it was too little, but this time I boiled five pots, and it turned out that all the good egalitarianism and anything came in handy. It's all about grabbing, right?

Wang Chuan felt that the bowl with a big head should be big enough, but the back one had not been finished loading, and the front one had already come over to grab it, so what's going on? Leaning on it?

Knowing that the soup is hot, I prepared chopsticks, and I don't know how to use a plug, so I just use my hands to fish this is going to cook and eat it with my own hands? Or do you guys still have Indian ancestry? Even if your hands are full of oil and the bowl is unstable, you still have a foot in it...... Well, I don't know how to stop the bleeding first.

Wang Chuan decided to burn the ceramics three or five times before the winter came, and save a batch first, otherwise with the creativity of the people in front of him, it would be painful to pinch the embryo with mud in winter. As for those who say that this thing is not as good as the bamboo tube except for the crispy sound of crushing, let's eat it for a few more days and barbecue first.
