Chapter 21: The First Nitrate
When Chen Chao saw the two feather crowns at that time, the whole person was stunned, not because of the deputy leader, but because these moa feathers, TM are the ones he wants to use to make tail wings for spears!!
TM Lao Tzu's bow and arrow!!
Chen Chao wailed in his heart, and Wu, the little old man with sheep's horns, looked like a proud winner in life.
He had seen it before in a large tribe of several hundred people, and the leader and deputy leader would wear a long feathered crown on their heads, which was very beautiful!
And the tribe is getting better and better in his generation, which is worth recording on the walls of the tribe's cave!
He's memorized so much, lately he's recorded more than all the witches from generations ago!
And he also learned a new way of expression, in the past, he had to draw a lot of things to record the skin of his prey, and he might not be able to ensure that others could understand it, such as him, he couldn't read some of the records left by previous generations of witches!
Nowadays, the skin of the prey is recorded as long as a "leather" is written, and it is good!
More images, you can see it at a glance!
There was a hot scene in the Tianyuan tribe, everyone was handling pork processing pork, washing chestnuts cleaning chestnuts, grilling fish grilled fish, although today's dinner was delayed, everyone was very interested.
Set up the fire~
Grilled fish on skewers~
A simple stove is set up~
In fact, it is to find two stones of about the same size and height, pile up the wood underneath, and then put the clay pot on the upper rack, and you can start the fire!
Although the fish has been roasted a long time ago, no one started first, and they all looked at the pork and chestnut soup in the clay pot~~
With 16 amphorae and a pot-bellied amphora, as well as a soup spoon, plus two small pots, the tribe used these 18 pots to stew an unprecedented dinner.
Pork chestnut soup ~~
Although there is no salt yet, chestnuts are added, and there is still a hint of sweetness in the soup~~
Of course, the wild boar is still the same as before, and the previous one is eaten first, and today it is still stored.
Although the dried wild boar meat is not as delicious as fresh, it is really delicious for the people in the tribe who eat large skewers in the morning, noon and evening.
Today, everyone got 2 grilled fish, Chen Chao, Yuan, Wu, each of them got a stewed wild boar in a binaural pottery pot, and Da Zhuang, Yi and others of the hunting team got 3 pots.
The 8 half-sized children were given 4 pots, the 19 people of the gathering team were given 6 pots, the 4 old men were given 1 pot, and the two old clay pots were given to the 8 little children in the tribe.
And the only soup spoon was given to Wu by Chen Chao and Yuan.
Wu didn't get used to it at first, but under Chen Chao's teaching, he quickly learned how to use a spoon.
Although he only used a spoon to take out the meat from the clay pot and eat it with his hands, he was still very satisfied. Because he felt that he had opened up the gap with the people in the tribe, and he looked even more witch~~
After all, he was the first person in the tribe to use a spoon~~
Of course, Chen Chao couldn't finish a large pot of pork and chestnut soup by himself, so he gave the rest to the little children in the tribe.
Yuan and Wu couldn't finish eating, but Yuan was given to the women, and Wu was given to the old people.
The rest of the hunting party thought it was strange, but no one objected.
So this night, everyone either walked by the cave wall, or supported their waist, and ate too much.
They feel that they have never eaten such a delicious thing since they were born~~
(โงโฝโฆ)/~
The next day, the hunting team rested, Chen Chao looked at the situation of the lynx skin, which had been exposed to the sun for a period of time before, and was worried that the sun would be damaged directly, so he instructed the old people in the tribe to sprinkle some water every once in a while.
In fact, you can also choose to dry in the shade, but Chen Chao considered the current requirements, and still chose to expose to the sun to kill bacteria, but there is no lime tanning system, but now everything can only be simplified.
After feeling almost, Chen Chao was ready to start nitrating lynx skin. However, he didn't plan to directly make 48 sheets at one time, so he was on the safe side, so he still asked for his two sheets first, and then made a finished product and then mass-produced.
Although I told Yuan about the total benefits of nitrate skin, but things have to be really made to say, the current leather is too rare, not to mention that all 46 lynx skins are destroyed, that is, only one is destroyed, which means that in winter, there is a person who has no skin to keep warm.
The grass and wood ash was left over from the pottery, Chen Chao didn't plan to dig another pit, so he used the puddle where the mud embryo was processed before, although it was very small, but after all, this time it was still mainly a test.
But seeing that Wu led the old people and children in the tribe to start making pottery pots again early in the morning, Chen Chao had no choice but to change places and start digging pits.
But it's not a thing to drink soup with a pot like this, he taught Wu and Huang Yan to make a few round bowls and soup spoons, and after having the experience of making pot-bellied amphorae, many simple shapes Chen Chao can make by recalling the specific style.
He probably dug a pit by himself first, but it's still the old rule, before the thing is done, don't make a noise, don't shoot... Quietly entering the village...
To put it nicely, plan and then act!
Try to make two pieces first to see the effect, in fact, after such a simple treatment, the lynx skin can already be worn directly, but after wearing it for a long time, it will crack, lose hair, worry, and not durable.
Chen Chao glanced at the puddle poured into the ash of plants and trees, and directly poured a lot of cement slurry into it. But the problem is not very big, and it can only be solved at present. The main reason is that you can't make anything like cement now, but when you get it later, you can use wood to separate the walls of the pool.
After mixing the plant ash and water with a wooden stick, Chen Chao felt that the viscosity of the plant ash in the pool was almost the same, so he threw two lynx skins down.
The entire pool water has shown a black color, and every time Chen Chao loses a piece, his heart trembles, this must be successful!
Otherwise, this is my share of the animal skin this winter!
Under normal circumstances, the cooked skins are cooked after the ashes have settled, and the water on them is led to an additional pond to be cooked.
Now you can use a clay pot to scoop the water out, because now there is less water, if it is mass-produced in a few days, when the nitrate leather is made, the pool and the water consumption must be a very large state, where is the condition and manpower to dig another pool, and scoop out the water in a pot by pot.
So Chen Chao directly threw the lynx skin in the black water, there should be no problem, and it should be cleaned a few more times after finishing it.
