Chapter 031: Pottery Burning

This time, the people of the grilled fish tasted a new taste. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info That's the salty taste.

On earth, if anyone cooks without salt, I'm afraid no one will be able to use chopsticks. And the first time they ate salted grilled fish, the tribesmen were eager to swallow their tongues. They found that this is what food should taste like.

After asking, I realized that Wang Hao added a kind of table salt extracted from salt stones. One by one, I felt that yesterday's hard work was worth it. At the same time, I also trusted Wang Hao's words more.

From fishing, to wolf drive, to iron ore, all the way to table salt. What Wang Hao did, the clansmen all saw it in their eyes little by little and remembered it in their hearts.

Every seemingly nonsensical thing will turn into a good thing that changes the living conditions of the people in the end.

Therefore, they are now all full of interest in the large clay covered with leaves at the entrance of the cave, and they all want to know what kind of novel things Wang Hao will make with these clays.

After eating, Wang Hao lifted the leaves on the clay to moisturize and took the lead in picking up a large lump of soil. After pinching it with his hands for a long time, a thick clay bowl appeared in his hand.

Wang Hu and the six of them, their feet were seriously worn out because of pulling iron ore, and it was not easy to move, so they stayed to play with Wang Hao in the mud.

Their feet were covered with straw sandals woven by the women this morning. Straw sandals come in large and small sizes. It doesn't fit well. This is also the reason why the tribesmen are not skilled enough. But Wang Hu and they don't dislike it at all, this is much more comfortable than being barefoot.

Primitive people did not have a day off, and there were so many heavy tasks to be completed every day.

In the morning, the women continued to dry salt on the stone slabs in the back mountain and make straw sandals. And the stronger people in the village, both men and women, were divided into half and went to the salt lake to carry the salt stones. The other half, at the request of Wang Hao, went to the back mountain to cut purple bamboo.

Purple bamboos look very similar to green bamboos on earth, except that their color is purple. Wang Hao heard that the bamboos in the purple bamboo forest of Guanyin Bodhisattva are also purple, maybe the purple bamboo of the Great Wilderness was introduced from there.

Unlike the green bamboos on the earth, the purple bamboos of the Great Wilderness are very tough. A mature purple bamboo can even pull a big fish of more than ten catties from the water without being broken. Moreover, the biggest advantage of purple bamboo is that even fresh purple bamboo can be used as a burning material. Not only does it not emit smoke like damp wood, but it is more resistant to burning than wood of the same weight.

Wang Hu and their iron swords were all borrowed by the tribesmen to cut bamboo. A large number of purple bamboos were brought back to the village with branches and leaves. There were even a few clansmen holding a few nests of bird eggs that were still warm, and gave them to Wang Hao and told him to replenish his nutrition.

A part of the purple bamboo was built into a meat drying rack by the tribesmen. To make salted fish and bacon, you need a lot of meat drying racks. Some of them were piled up in the village. This will be the main fuel for burning pottery at night.

In the absence of a potter's wheel, handmade pottery will inevitably have uneven thickness or uneven force.

When it gets dark, the slate is filled with large and small clay bowls or pots.

Wang Hao wanted to pinch a clay pot with a thick waist and a small mouth, but after trying several times, he always couldn't do it well, so he had to give up. That kind of thing, it seems that you can only get it when the potter's wheel is ready.

After an afternoon of sun exposure, the wet and soft soil gradually became hard, and after careful inspection, whenever cracks were found, they were picked out by Wang Hao and re-lived into clay.

Tonight's bonfire was not divided into several piles in the village as usual, but only one pile. This huge bonfire was enough for more than a hundred people to sit in a circle.

The firewood pile for the bonfire is made of purple bamboo. On the top, there are all kinds of clay bowls or clay pots.

By the time Wang Hao cleaned the clay all over their bodies, the grilled fish was almost cooked.

Seeing Wang Hao and them coming, the patriarch smiled and said to start eating. The clansmen who had been waiting for a long time reached out and tore at the food in front of them. The salty grilled fish at noon is still fresh in their memories.

After eating, the tribesmen sang happily. Shi Li took out a handful of early-ripening sweet fruits from his arms and handed them to Wang Erniu. It caused a kind laugh from the clansmen.

The second girl was not hypocritical, she took the sweet fruit generously, then turned around and ran to Wang Hao's side, sharing a slightly sour sweet fruit with him. Only Shi Li was left with a beautiful back of his head.

After taking the sweet fruit, Wang Hao stuffed one into the mouth of the hairball, and his eyes stared at the clay bowl and clay pot in the fire motionlessly.

Maoqiu tasted the taste of sweet fruit, then squinted his eyes and jumped into Wang Hao's hand, and picked up a sweet fruit with a small paw. As a result, because the sweet fruit was too big, the one in his mouth could not be chewed at all without the help of his paws, and the greedy little hairball was reluctant to drop the sweet fruit in his hand, so he kept spinning in circles on the ground in a hurry.

Today, the number of clansmen who are keeping watch has increased by two. One was the one who looked after the fish and meat that were piled on the stone slabs, and the other who was adding fuel to the fire.

The clansmen kept watch at night, not because they were afraid of being attacked by people from other villages at night, nor were they afraid of being attacked by high-level creatures above the second level. Rather, it is to prevent beasts like jackals, tigers and leopards from sneaking into the village at night in search of food.

There is no protective fence in the village. There was once a case where a tiger ran into the village in the middle of the night and took away a child at night. Second-level beasts won't take the initiative to attack villages, but that doesn't mean first-level creatures won't.

Food in the village has never been more abundant. As a result, the tribe had no experience in storing food. Two days ago, because there was no one to take care of the food. When I woke up in the morning, I found that more than a dozen fresh fish had been eaten by rats and other animals.

He repeatedly instructed the people who watched the bonfire to keep the fire burning vigorously until the purple bamboos piled up into a hill were burned, or until dawn.

After that, Wang Hao yawned and ran to sleep.
