Chapter 65: Burning Bricks

After Chen Chao arranged the words he was going to learn today, he went out to think about burning bricks, and by the way, he had to put out the tiles.

As for the homework, after it was done, let the little old man with the horns collect it. Anyway, I practiced on the sand table table, one table was divided into 12 small pieces, Chen Chao wrote an example, and the others wrote it.

The advantage of the sand table table is that it can be repeated all the time, and if you are not satisfied, you can just start again.

Anyway, no matter how it works, the one that waits for dinner will be the last one. After finishing the homework, I have to repeat what I taught yesterday to learn from the past.

As for the exam, it is tentatively scheduled to be taken once a week. Every time Chen Chao finished the day's lesson, he would use charcoal to leave the day's courseware on the yellow clay wall.

There is no requirement to memorize during the exam, and the full-time class of little children must be able to watch and read. As for writing, it will be required to turn all your backs to the yellow mud wall with words to do dictation questions.

The part-time adult class only requires that you can watch and read, and you can eat an extra piece of meat or a grilled fish on the day you pass, and the full-time class that does not pass will have half the food, and the same is true for the adult class.

But after that, the adult class can also add a punishment, and those who fail the exam will all go down the mountain to do coolies, and all go to burn bricks and tiles!

If the test results in the first week are okay, Chen Chao plans to join the study of sentence formation, but this is all for later.

When I walked out of the house, the snow had stopped, and the sun was shining on my body, not only was there no temperature at all, but I could also feel a chill.

Chen Chao went to the cave to take a look, most of them were rubbing straw ropes, and a small part of the collection team was weaving straw shoes or making net pockets, the atmosphere was peaceful and quiet, and there was no tension like autumn at all.

But also, this winter there are two things to do: learning the language and rubbing the straw rope. In the previous winter, I slept for the most part, and as for the applause, I had to have enough food to get up.

If you are so hungry that you scratch your liver, who has the heart to applaud.

Chen Chao called out the one-eyed who listened to Da Zhuang's bragging while rubbing the straw rope, and took advantage of the opportunity to let the one-eyed return to his original post in the winter straw rope army.

Let One-Eye get dressed and bring the tools for digging the pit. Before leaving the cave, Chen Chao glanced at Da Zhuang, who had found a braggart object again, beckoned, and called him out.

As far as you talk the most, you have to talk about the matter of picking fish over and over again, Chen Chao estimates that the people in the entire cave can help Da Zhuang carry it down together.

But also thanks to the enthusiastic promotion of the fishing chapter by the prince of stone, Da Zhuang, the whole tribe has taken the vocabulary learning about fish to a higher level.

And Chen Chao also discovered that Da Zhuang has a special talent in language. This honest and honest man has a heart that does not match his appearance, and he likes to express it. A lot of grammar that Chen Chao didn't specifically teach, maybe he just used it when he spoke in daily life.

is also firmly remembered by Da Zhuang, when he needs to use it, he opens his mouth to come out, and he is also very good at concatenating words and sentences, drawing inferences.

This was all discovered by Chen Chao when he was listening to Da Zhuang's bragging, because this product is different from the version that everyone tells, they are all similar to the same meaning, but the use of sentences is different.

Those who didn't watch it on the spot, and then the language learning is still half-understood, listened to it stunned, if it weren't for the casual chatting when everyone rubbed the straw rope, only to find out, yo, Da Zhuang, this kid is talking about the same thing!

So although he has a lot of vocabulary and grammar, there is currently an upper limit, and everyone will remember it if he says it a few more times.

After calling Da Zhuang and One-Eyed out, Chen Chao also took out a few logs from the wooden mountain in the cave before leaving. The bark can then be peeled off to make a semi-circular mold for the tiles, and the wood can be used as a mallet.

After the three of them came to the original pottery burning place, Chen Chao drew a range on the ground with his foot, pointed to the ground, and signaled that the two of them could start working.

Chen Chao's idea was to build a small clay kiln first and burn batches of bricks and tiles.

First build a normal brick house in the Tianyuan tribe to see how the finished product is, and then build a big kiln at the foot of the mountain, and burn bricks and tiles directly at the foot of the mountain. As for burning it on the mountain and then moving it down, don't even think about it, the current manpower can't do it at all~

There is no need to do such a thankless job~

Chen Chao asked Da Zhuang and One-Eye to start living mud, and he used a stone axe to start dealing with the mold, the mold used to burn bricks and the mold used to burn tiles were not the same, so they had to get two versions out.

As soon as the mold began to be made, Chen Chao saw several strong men coming out of the cave one after another, all of whom were members of the hunting team, namely Qu (the population exchanged with other tribes) and the moa egg killer Yi, the arrogant javelin prince Yi and others.

Chen Chao glanced at a few people who came out, just right, live mud, build a mud kiln!

took out the mud needed to make yellow mud bricks with One-eye, and asked Yi Ze to make a few more according to the mold he made.

Don't look at Yi's bones, thin and thin, but the strength in his hands is really not small, otherwise the javelin can't be played, and now it seems that cutting wood to make molds is just right, after all, making molds is really not only a hard work, but also requires a certain amount of eyesight and carefulness.

This batch of yellow mud bricks is very large, because if it is small, it will require a lot of molds. Moreover, it is possible to make the yellow mud bricks of the city wall larger.

The tiles can't be too big, but they can be made longer. The width is about 30 cm, and the length is about 70 cm.

This is just enough to fit perfectly with a few pieces of bark that Chen Chao took out, and when the clay embryo is put into the rectangular wood mold, and then covered with the bark, the bark is almost pulled out, which is basically a perfect arch.

When the mud embryo is dry, it will be burned in the kiln when the time comes, and it will be basically perfect.

Yellow mud bricks are not so troublesome, you only need to put the mud embryo into the mold. Chen Chao also specially made two wooden mallets to make it easier to hammer the mud embryo smoother.

This batch made 30 bricks and 50 tiles, and they couldn't burn it if they were too much. Because it takes a certain amount of time for the mud embryo to be demolded.

During this period, a little old man with a sheep's horn came to see him a few times, and it could be seen that he was learning very easily and comfortably, otherwise how could he have time to put on his alpaca coat while studying, and come to see what Chen Chao was busy with from time to time.

No, the moment the little old man turned his head back to study, the alpaca coat shook off with his body. You don't have to go out of your way to the front to look, you can feel the momentum brought by the little old man's footsteps that his six relatives don't recognize.

After all, Wu, as a full-time class president and a member of the learning committee (sensitive word), as well as the first place in the daily homework, does have the capital he should be proud of.

Chen Chao used to think that a blank piece of paper like a little kid was the best way to portray and write, but he later realized that he was wrong.

People with vested interests like Wu are the ones who learn and absorb with a purpose, and they are the ones who learn the fastest.

And they also have one of the things that the little kids lack the most, and that is self-knowledge.

Knowing what you're doing, what you're going to do, why you're doing it, and what you're going to do if you do it, like Wu, who has a sound and perfect self-awareness, but is still willing to open up to another civilization that is completely different from you, that's really terrifying.

And the little kids are just in a state of ignorance, and they are rushing around with their heads suffocated as if they were the real language acquisition. Relying on his initial skills that have not been completely squandered, he will arbitrarily and willfully light up the keywords, and he will eventually get them all in the end anyway, right?

The leader Yuan is gone, because he still hasn't finished most of his homework today. So he just came out to take a look at what Chen Chao was busy with, and he was going back to compete with the little stick in his hand.

It's really strange, this little stick, why is it disobedient in its hand!

Why can't you write beautiful words like Chen Chao!

Even the little old man Wu writes better than himself, and learns to speak faster than himself!

It's so bad that when I dreamed recently, I always dreamed of memorizing and writing! I'm afraid that one day I won't even be able to compare to those little kids!

And ah, even if you have to look good when you write, why can't you remember it when you turn your head and write silently!
