【079】Wall Paste and Pottery (II)

Under the strong exposure of the sun during the day, the speed of mud drying is still very fast, especially now that the dry season is approaching, the temperature during the day will be much hotter, which makes people feel extremely hot.

Shen Nong wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the pit where the three of them had dug the yellow mud before, and said, "Peck the bones, you go and find some dry branches and dead leaves, and you go to the cave to get a little ancestral fire." ”

Cang saw that he didn't have anything to do with himself, and hurriedly asked, "What about me?" Wu, what am I doing?" ”

"You dig this hole a little bigger. Shen Nong handed the stone hoe at his feet to Cang and said, "Move faster, I'm in a hurry." ”

"Oh. When Cang saw that Shen Nong had given himself such a boring job, most of his enthusiasm was instantly extinguished, and he reluctantly took the stone hoe and began to dig into the pit.

Don't look at Cang's work in the tribe is a craftsman, but his strength is actually not small, digging up the soil is called a force, probably because of the relationship of the times, as long as the tribe is an adult, there will be a body of key meat, plus often eat meat, occasionally come to a little bit of fierce beast blood and fierce beast meat relationship, basically every adult in the tribe can be used as a combat power.

It wasn't long before Bone came back with a stack of twigs and a large pile of dead leaves, and he came out of the cave with a torch.

Shen Nong first spread a stone slab at the bottom of the pit, and then put the soft mud bowl on top of the stone slab, so as to prevent the mud bowl from getting stained with other mud and avoid burning a four-like when the time comes.

After taking the branches and leaves from the's hand, Shen Nong directly sent him to help the cang dig the soil, and at present, the area of this pit was obviously not enough to accommodate all the pottery molds that Shen Nong had just pinched out.

With the help of the bone pecking, the area of the pit soon increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the posture of the two people picking up the stone hoe was very fierce, just like a fight, Shen Nong was very panicked when he saw it, for fear that a lump of dirt would fly towards him in the next second.

It didn't take long for a pit of five or six square meters to appear in front of Shen Nong's eyes.

"Alright, well, that's enough. Shen Nong saw that the two of them were still planning to dig down, so he hurriedly stopped him. Only then did the two of them stop their movements.

"Come, you help me spread all these stones and slabs into the pit, and then move the pottery mold down, remember to be careful with your movements, this is easy to break. Shen Nong reminded, and took the lead in lifting a stone, and then threw it into the pit.

In order to prevent the pottery mold from mixing with the soil in the pit, it is necessary to lay a layer of anti-sticking material at the bottom of the pit, like the regular pottery is in the kiln factory, Shen Nong now does not have that kind of technology and equipment, so he can only use the oldest and roughest method.

Just now, while pecking bones and digging in the warehouse, Shen Nong found a few clansmen to pick up a lot of stones from the vicinity of the cave, which would be just right to be used to pave the bottom of the pit.

When the bottom of the pit was paved with a layer of stones, Shen Nong and Chi moved all the pottery molds they had just kneaded to the bottom of the pit.

"Put down the branches and leaves, and if there aren't enough of them, let's go around and find more. Shen Nong said.

"Wu, what the hell are we doing here?" someone couldn't help but ask.

For unknown things, people always feel curious, even primitive people are no exception, Shen Nong has nothing to hide from them, and said directly: "Burn pottery." ”

"Pottery?"

"What is Tao?"

"Who knows, Wu must be doing something new, you see the stone hoes, bone shovels, and stone pickaxes he asked them to make, they are all good things. ”

......

A group of clansmen nearby were all talking, and Shen Nong waved his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, you guys hurry up and act, don't waste time." ”

Everyone hurriedly put the branches and leaves they had picked up before pecking the bones next to the pottery mold, and then sprinkled the remaining dead leaves on the pottery mold, and soon covered up the pit.

"Chia, give me the torch. ”

"Oh. ”

Taking the torch in Chi's hand, Shen Nong didn't think about it, and threw the torch directly into the pit covered with dead grass and branches.

Boom Boom!

With the help of dead leaves, a raging fire soon broke out in the pit, coupled with the hot weather and dry air, the fire became extremely fierce, and you can feel the scorching heat when you stand on the edge of the pit.

This sudden fire immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tribe, because there was a shadow left by the last fire, the tribesmen in the tribe were bitten by snakes for ten years and were afraid of grass ropes, and they hurriedly ran to the ditch with wooden barrels, intending to get water to extinguish the fire.

"Oh, don't, don't, stop. Seeing that a clansman who was moving very fast had already rushed over with a bucket of water and was about to water the fire pit, Shen Nong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Wu, fire!" said the clansman anxiously.

"I know, I set this fire, you don't have to worry, everyone will be fine. Shen Nong said to the clansmen gathered around.

Hearing Shen Nong say this, everyone was relieved and couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of relief.

"Wu, what are you doing here?" asked Shi Li, who was in the middle of the crowd, in a loud voice.

Since the last time Shi Li was injured in hunting, he withdrew from the hunting team and chose to stay in the tribe as an ordinary clansman.

"Isn't that my going to the Ten Ministries Conference, and I want to bring something new to trade with other tribes. Shen Nong pointed to the fire pit and said, "Pottery is being burned here, and you can see it when the fire is extinguished by itself." ”

"Tao?" Everyone was confused, staring at each other, not knowing what this Tao was in Shen Nong's mouth.

But during this period of time, Shen Nong's tricks have been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone, and everyone knows that their own witch club brings them something new from time to time, although they have never seen those things, but after getting started, it is surprisingly easy to use, presumably this time the Tao is similar.

With this curious thought, everyone stood by the fire pit and waited, all wanting to see the birth of Tao for the first time.

When the branches and leaves placed in the pit were burned, the fire without the blessing of combustion materials finally went down, and finally became dying, leaving only white smoke still drifting out of the pit upwards.

The entire pit was filled with charred black slag and charcoal, the product of the burnt leaves and branches.

After pecking the bones and seeing that there was no fire, he raised his legs and was about to walk down the pit to flip, but was stopped by Shen Nong.

"Don't worry, wait a minute, the fire has just been extinguished, the temperature in the pit is still very high, and maybe there are still a lot of fires still burning, you will go down and be scalded to waste." Shen Nong said calmly.

When the bone pecking heard this, he gave up his plan to go into the pit.
