In the early morning, the sun's rays shone on the whole land, and the golden sun shone on the faces of the people.

There is an open space in the middle of the tents, and all the old and young are sitting on the ground.

What everyone is looking forward to.

I heard that it was the leader who announced something important, and everyone was speculating and discussing, waiting for the leader to arrive.

Shi Li and a group of warriors walked to the top of the clearing, and one of the warriors held a lump of green leaves and placed it on a stone slab high in the entire clearing.

"Everyone, be quiet!" The warrior standing beside Shi Li gestured.

The crowd paused and waited for the leader to speak.

Shi Li swept the crowd and beckoned to the tree. Li Yue walked up to him in the confusion of everyone.

"It's up to you to say next"

Shi Li patted Li Yue's shoulder, his eyes full of love and praise for the junior.

The unknown clansmen looked at Li Yue again. Bai was also curious about how Li Yue stood with the leader?

Li Yue said with a confused expression. I was secretly sweating in my heart.

"Hello people, my name is Shu." Li Yue tried her best to show herself mature, but the child's voice was too bad.

"In order for our tribe to develop, we need you to find soil now, the first is white, very sticky soil. The second is the yellow and very clay soil, and then the black soil, the gray soil."

Li Yue saw that everyone was puzzled, and said.

"If you think about it, maybe you've seen it before"

When the clansmen heard this, they discussed it one after another.

"Loess? Everywhere, what to look for"

"It's just that we still have a lot of work to do, so we don't have time to waste."

"Hey, it's sticky."

"Isn't the water sticky?" Someone's brain flashed.

"Haha, you still want to get it"

The young and old below all disagreed with what Li Yue said.

"Everyone, when the clay is dug out, it is a lump of soft, not scattered, and it can be pinched out into the shape of loess or white soil," Li Yue said, referring to the characteristics of clay.

"What is that thing for? Can you eat it? I don't know who in the crowd asked, and everyone looked at the tree curiously.

"Yes! Is it edible or not! "If the people want to eat, they can find it.

It's a pity that Li Yue vetoed it.

"You can't eat it, but who can find it first...... Whoever can get the leg of a beast" Li Yue turned around and lifted a large leaf placed on a high stone, revealing an animal leg that looked like a cow's leg inside.

"Meat?! Find the soil he said and get meat? ”

One word stirred up a thousand waves, and the old and young people were boiling, eager to touch the soil immediately, and thought to themselves, it was that simple?

Everyone stared at that leg, not to mention the hearts of ordinary people, even their warriors were also excited.

Bai Heyong stared at Li Yue like a hole in the hole. There is a feeling of unrighteousness that a good thing is not told to him first.

The big cow present was not hungry for meat, so he was hungry for the meat stir-fry that Li Yue said, according to his son Yong, the food made by this child was particularly delicious. I was even more worried about the back pot meat that he said. It's a pity that his son Yong didn't eat it, because there was a lack of pots, and the pots had to be made of clay.

"Yes, as long as you find the soil I said, you can take the meat," Li Yue said.

"Words count! Let's find out right away! With that, the clansmen immediately got up as if they had been initiated.

"Wait a minute!" The grass near the leader made a noise to stop it.

"You can find it, but you have to finish the work in your hands first" Xingcao didn't want to see his people waste what they were doing. After speaking, he glanced at Shi Li.

Seeing the leader's nod of approval, Xingcao continued.

"Root up all the grass you see"

After trying Li Yue's food made of fern and fern root powder, I was very happy as the grass in charge of the tribal food, and at the same time, I also had some coping plans for the coming winter, if I could find more food, the winter tribesmen would not starve to death because of lack of food.

With this intention in mind, Xingcao glanced at the short, thin tree. Pray that this sacrifice will be found more before the onset of winter.

When the leader expressed her suspicion that the tree was a sacrifice, her instincts told her that the tree must be a sacrifice, because only the sacrifice could conjure more food. Discover something different.

In Xingcao's eyes, the so-called fern root powder must have been created by Li Yue's divine power. Otherwise, this thing can be seen everywhere, and no one has found it, so he got it out, isn't it the ability of sacrifice?

Everything that happened today stems from an incident last night.

Last night, when Li Yue was eating fern baba made of fern root powder, he accidentally dropped the stone bowl in his hand on the instep of his upper foot, and immediately cried in pain, secretly thinking that he would solve the container first and then get the others.

Don't think about iron, at present, it is relatively simple to burn pottery, which is simple and fast and not high-tech, but he can't do it as a child, so he has to find a leader.

So when the moon was shining, he quickly walked to the place where the chief lived.

After talking about the benefits and methods of pottery making, Shi Li and the other warriors were silent for a while, and then their eyes exchanged with each other to digest and confirm this information.

"The pottery you said is really so easy to make" Shi Li's voice trembled a little, and even he didn't notice it.

"Yes"

"Pottery is really just a little more brittle than stone, but it's okay to hold water and cook it?" Imagine that if there is such a thing, as long as there is mud and fire, you can make pottery. And pottery can replace stone pots, stone bowls, etc., which are difficult to chisel. That's worth as much as salt!

"That's dirt, won't it leak when it is filled with water?" The Warriors who heard it all expressed 7 points of doubt.

"Don't worry, as long as you find the ones I said, there will be no problem." Li Yue patted his chest firmly and said.

Shi Li was silent for a moment amid a burst of doubt. Decided to give it a try.

"Good! You do it boldly! Tomorrow, I will ask all the people who have fallen to find this soil for you" Shi Li is very happy, no matter whether Li Yue can do it or not, as long as there is an idea and a way to do it, it will be a matter of time.

"Well, there's no need for this, as long as they pay attention when they go out" The sun is too strong this season, and the pottery embryo needs to be dried in the shade, otherwise it is easy to fail when firing.

"That's too long"

"You can be rewarded appropriately, they will seriously look for it"

"Hey, look at what you said, the leader spoke, that one is not serious?" The warrior on the side spoke up.

"Then what kind of reward method do you ......?" Shi Li listened with interest.

All fell in the next time to get a lot of soil for Li Yue to see, but unfortunately it was not the same, according to Xingcao, the tribesmen pulled out the roots of the plants and returned to the tribe. Among the many plants sent by the clansmen, Li Yue saw cassava.

Cassava and fern root flour are much the same, cassava can be sliced and dried for storage, or fried, or its starch can be taken. Make a cake and eat it as a paste, but it should be cooked well before eating.

Although no soil was found, the women who found the same food also received some meat, which greatly encouraged the rest of the tribe.

So everyone in charge of collecting wild vegetables was stuffed with a mess of plants in their back baskets. There are few poisonous ones, and there are many edible dishes.

I didn't find the clay for pottery, but I had to prepare everything for pottery.

Now that some people are needed to make the cave, Li Yue held his chin and studied the plan drawn on the ground.

If you want to make pottery, you can't do it without a kiln, or if you fire it in a closed space.

To make mud bricks from the ordinary soil that was slightly sticky before, it is necessary to build a kiln about 2 meters high and 1.8 in diameter.

With the appearance of the tile kiln next to his grandmother's house when he was a child, Li Yue painted a scoop according to the gourd, and gave him a successful Lei out.

Burn the inside over a high fire, burn the mud bricks red, and completely remove the moisture.

The cave was successful and the clansmen and leaders came to see it for an afternoon, and Shi Li and the warriors kept drilling in and out, touching and knocking from time to time. Thoughtfully, Li Yue's hairs stood on end.

"You ......"

"Yes, it can be made into a house! But it's going to be winter soon."

Li Yue guessed what he was thinking when he looked at Shi Li's behavior, but there was a serious shortage of manpower, and coupled with the pressure of winter, it was impossible to have time to build a house.

"What about all the people?" Shi Li does not give up.

Li Yue shook his head.

"Chief, do you know how long it took to do this, and how many people were used?"

Shi Li looked at the warriors such as Feisha who were helping the tree.

"All about 1 month, we 3 warriors and 10 old men" flying sand road.

Shi Li was thoughtful, and was interrupted by Li Yue as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Chief, don't think about it, it's only been more than 3 months in winter, it's okay to do this all together, but there is no way to solve the food, we will choose a better place to settle down and build a house in the spring of next year, and cultivate food, the tribe will be better, and we will make pottery first."

Li Yue doesn't want to build a house in fact, there is another reason, now the geographical location of this tribe is not very good, the water source is only a small stream close to the water source, for people to eat and eat, if you want to plant crops on a large scale is not enough, the tribe as a whole has an unobstructed view, and the mountains are too close, and the beasts rush down the mountain when there is a lack of food, and the danger is too great, although there are treasures in the mountains, but they are also accompanied by danger.

"Okay, I'll listen to you" Shi Liduo didn't say anything, but in his heart he was already treating it according to the attitude towards the sacrifice.

Sacrifice is the supreme leader of a tribe and the soul of the tribe.

Time passes day by day. The weather gradually began to heat up, accompanied by thunder and lightning showers from time to time. After a rainstorm. Someone finally found the soil that Li Yue needed.

"Tree, look, is this the soil you want for this small hill!" What I found was a child, and asked Li Yue very familiarly.

"Yes, all of them are of this color" Li Yue took a closer look, although the hill is not big, but it is really used to make pottery, and it is still used casually.

"Can I go get the meat, then?"

"Yes, you can go and get it"

The child, who had been affirmed, rushed back to the tribe with joy. The people who stayed behind were all sorry.

"Oops, I've walked through this mountain many times, but I haven't seen it, it's too moldy"

"Me too, why didn't you want to dig it up?"

"yes, that cub is so lucky"

"It's not, it's such a lump of meat."

Bai Yeyong, who came from the wind, also felt pity.

No one has found the soil for too long. The leg has long been replaced, but the promise has not changed, and the leg has been replaced with the same amount of meat. As soon as you find it, you can go and pick up fresh ones.

The clansmen sighed regretfully as they gathered around the hills. They didn't even have a chance to get that lump of meat.

In fact, what is really found is heavy rain, if there is no landslide caused by heavy rain, even if they are not found for a long time, because this kind of soil is only a few dozen meters below the ground.

"Tree, now you have found what you want, now start your Tao talk" The long wait also made the leader a little anxious, and now that he had found the most important soil, he also wanted to see what Tao was.

The chief held back the excitement in his heart. With a calm face on his face, he commanded the people to dig up the mud.

The temperature of making pottery must be about 800~1100 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of further porcelain is generally about 1200 degrees Celsius to higher. Now this kind of open-air clay kiln can only make pottery, and if you want to use porcelain bowls, it is estimated that the house will have to be built next year.

There are two tents next to the kiln, which were made by an old man who set up a tent not long ago, and they are very sturdy, much better than the tent they live in.

This time, Li Yue is going to teach a few women and children, these are all people who are usually observed and do things more carefully.

And Bai and Yong also want to learn from it, Li Yue feels that Bai's personality should be with some of them, and Yong may be almost patient.

"You guys smash the mud first......"

Li Yue first tried to make small bowls and clay pots, as well as large clay pots, and two large vats filled with water, and just these things filled the two tents.

"Looks like it's going to have to be a shelf." Li Yue turned around and went to find someone who usually worked as a carpenter for the tribe.

I heard that it was a warrior, but this warrior went out hunting and didn't come back until 3 days later. There was no way, Li Yue couldn't wait for three days, and he and some women who usually picked up wood went to the mountains to find materials.

"Sister Xingcao, do you call this a tree?" Li Yue looked at the large bamboo forest in front of him and was dumbfounded.

"yes, what's wrong?" Xingcao and the other two women all looked at Li Yue.

"Have you ever eaten this?" Li Yue was holding a tender bamboo that was about the same height as him.

"Haha, you are stupid about the tree, how can you eat it so hard," said the woman next to Xingcao, and kicked the bamboo.

Xingcao and the woman both felt that Li Yue was afraid that she wanted to eat it, and she couldn't cut this thing, it was impossible.

Li Yue supported his forehead. Take out the stone knife in the basket, cut it off from the middle of the young bamboo, open it in three or two, and hand it to the grass.

"You pinch it now"

The three people of Xingcao took it and pinched it suspiciously, and unexpectedly pinched it very easily, obviously very crisp and tender, and the stone knife was broken as soon as it was sharpened.

"Hey, why is this so tender," exclaimed the woman who had just kicked her. Obviously, they couldn't cut it before.

"Tsk, it's just not delicious" The other eldest sister spit out the bamboo.

"This is not delicious to eat raw, but it can be boiled, fried, fried and stewed, and can be stored for a long time after drying.

"And you see those dwarf bamboo shoots in the pile of bamboo leaves, those can be eaten whole."

This kind of bamboo is called cabbage shoots, the flesh is fat, even if it grows to more than 1 meter, a large section of it is tender, and the whole one that has just been unearthed is tender, and it is very delicious to eat. It is one of the bamboo species that is long seen in the south.

"Tianla! There are so many of them, won't we lack food in winter?"

"How do you know!" The other asked, surprised and confused.

Li Yue was silent, this is really not easy to say, but it takes more lies to tell a lie, and Li Yue is unwilling to lie until necessary.

"Don't ask, I'm sure he" Xingcao said in a loud voice, "Anyway, there are so many of them now, we have to collect them back"

"Yes! Oh, yes! I'll have to go back and call someone," said the eldest sister and hurried back.

Xingcao looked at Li Yue, who was chopping bamboo shoots, and was full of joy, and then returned to normal. beckoned to other women to make bamboo shoots.

"Now I want to trouble my sisters to help cut the bamboo" Li Yue's original purpose was to cut the materials of the wooden frame, since there is bamboo now, there is no need for wood, and these bamboo processing is much simpler than wood.

It's the toughness and storage time of this vegetable bamboo that is relatively poor, but it is more than enough for emergency use.

In this era of simple tools, it is possible to keep things simple.

While the women were busy cutting bamboo shoots and drying them, the first batch of pottery fired by Li Yue came out of the kiln.

Facing a slightly smooth bowl and jar, the people who watched the excitement felt incredible.

Pouring water into the jar and not seeing the water come out made the clansmen feel amazing, and the leader felt stable!

When the jar was put on the fire to boil water, the people screamed in alarm. The leader nodded secretly.

"Oh my God! The water is boiling so fast! ”

"The mud didn't melt"

"No water leaks!"

"This stuff is good"

Shi Li picked up the two bowls, the two bowls were smoother to the touch, and the color was brighter than when they were made, although they were light in his hand. But I didn't see any damage when I touched each other, it's really much better than a stone bowl, and the most important thing is that this thing is easier to make, and you can burn so much at once.

"Clansmen, go and carry some mud, and each of us must have a bowl like this before winter!" Shi Li held up the bowl in his hand.

"Tree, I'm going to work hard for you next"

"No hard boss!" Facing the success of the pottery. Li Yue's disciples who are Taoists are full of confidence, and their original unbelief and worries about Tao will not be dissipated.

In just a few days, the clansmen who made pottery were like beating chicken blood, making hundreds of bowls and a lot of pottery, especially Bai, and making teapots under Li Yue's suggestion. Plates, small spoons of difficult pottery.

Seeing them working overtime to make clay pots, they planned to have a clay pot for each family.

They were full of enthusiasm for pottery making, and Li Yue followed them to find wild vegetables and collect seeds of edible plants to lay the foundation for planting next year.

Of course, the main thing is to see if you can blend into the woods.
