Chapter 46 Large-scale pottery

"This time it's a big profit, crabs, lobsters, boiled eggs!"

With a light in his eyes, Chen Xu cautiously stepped into the river, and in a short time, he caught seven or eight big crabs and more than a dozen big lobsters.

"The first person to eat crabs is a hero, so am I, the first person to eat crabs and lobsters, a hero among heroes?"

Running back to the tribe in a hurry, under the surprised eyes of the apes, Chen Xu, the god of fire, kept breaking his thoughts, and directly threw the crabs and lobsters into the cauldron on the stove.

After that, he took the head-sized jar and ran to the river to fill it, and after three or four attempts finally filled the cauldron with water.

So, with a noble mood, Chen Xu began to cook in the first real sense in this Stone Age.

The fire was ignited, and a faint water vapor rose from the clay pot, as if it was a stunning fairy, dancing in the air, involving all Chen Xu's minds.

At this moment, he had the illusion that he had not come to the Stone Age, he was just having a picnic in the primeval forest of Zhangjiajie.

Half an hour later, the hot water boiled, and a wisp of fragrance slowly wafted up from the pot, smelling this delicious taste, Chen Xu was even more hungry in his stomach, and he couldn't help but poke his paws into the cauldron, and at the same time looked forward to this delicious meal even more.

When the white foam of the lobster crab in the pot appears, and when the fat crab darts are boiled, showing a bright red carapace and the naturally stretched lobster, this operation has a perfect ending.

I couldn't wait to fish out a fat crab roe, put it in a clay bowl, got two wooden sticks from the dead tree on the side, wiped them briefly, and used them as chopsticks.

After a big meal, seven or eight palm-sized crabs and more than a dozen palm-length lobsters all entered Chen Xu's stomach, and at this time, he poured the little soup in the pot into the clay bowl, drank it in one go, and swallowed all his efforts for more than an hour into his stomach.

Feeling the warm current flowing in his abdomen and tasting the slight aroma of seafood still remaining in his mouth, Chen Xu couldn't help but touch his belly, and lay directly on the thick grass moss on the side, basking in the sun, squinting his eyes slightly, and muttering, "I finally ate a meal from the civilized era, I have to say, but it's really delicious!"

"I haven't tried the feeling of drinking soup for a long time, I didn't expect it to taste so good, but unfortunately, there is no salt, otherwise it would be even better. ”

Smacking his lips, at this time, after slightly relieving the hunger in his stomach and making himself a seafood feast, Chen Xu was in the mood to take care of other affairs, he had not forgotten what era this was.

This is the Stone Age, and any excessive slackness will bring about ruin.

By this time the sun had completely peeked out of the sky, and the apes had finished their work, and had strengthened the fence a lot, and the apes who had been chopping wood in the jungle had returned, and had added some clothing to the rich piles of wood in the tribe, and made them even more abundant.

The apes who were in charge of preparing breakfast had also finished the barbecue, and it was not surprising that today's breakfast was still gnawing bones, killing one hundred and fifty or sixty beasts, and getting a large amount of beast meat, while the Vulcan tribe also harvested enough bones for them to gnaw on for several days.

Speaking of this problem of eating, I have to say that Chen Xu set the rules, maybe because he still can't forget the habits of later generations, maybe for the development of the tribe, anyway, since he became the leader, under his regulations, the apes' previous very irregular eating behavior has been summarized into the law of three meals.

Every morning, when the sun is about eight o'clock, it is the breakfast time stipulated by Chen Xu, and when the sun reaches the right peak, it is about twelve o'clock to one o'clock in the future, which is the lunch time he stipulates.

As for dinner, it's time to enjoy dinner around the campfire when the sun has completely set and the forest is covered in darkness.

I have to say that Chen Xu's strange regulations have been warmly welcomed by the apes, and the system of three meals at a time in their previous lives did not even dare to think about it.

Even the valley tribes, which are very rich in prey, used to be just one meal at night, and the three-meal system seemed to them to be relatively wasteful.

However, this effect is also obvious, in the past few days, although everyone has worked hard every day, but the physical strength has not only not weakened, but has become more and more robust.

It's just that at breakfast this time, something happened that made the ape-people wonder.

Chen Xu directly threw aside the barbecue handed by the ape-man, took advantage of the flames under the stove, filled the pot with water, and then grabbed a few more crabs and lobsters from the river and threw them into the pot.

Soon, the water in the pot boiled, and the crabs and lobsters inside also turned over and floated, but they were cooked.

With a smile, Chen Xu took the other two bowls, and then used the long spoon to start digging fish soup into the bowls, as for the crabs and lobsters, he naturally kept them for himself, so he didn't move.

Filling the two bowls and greeting, Chen Xu gave one of the bowls to the old apeman, this guy has a very high IQ, and in the past few days of life, he has been of great help, it can be said that without this old apeman, the construction speed of the Vulcan tribe would have to be at least one or two percent slower.

And the old ape-man should be in his forties at this time, in this Stone Age, because the apes eat raw meat and drink raw water every day, they are already considered to be long-lived, and they will whine and mourn at some point.

Before a suitable replacement is produced, Chen Xu naturally won't let him die like this, he may not have any other way, but from now on, letting this old guy drink boiled water and eat boiled food is a method that can greatly extend his life.

As for the other bowl of soup, Chen Xu gave the ape-man No. 1, this can be said to be the ape-man who followed him from the beginning, perhaps because of the influence of the spar, and has recently made great strides in IQ and combat power.

Thinking of his dragon skills, Chen Xu gave him another bowl of glory, and after thinking about it, Chen Xu stretched out his hand to stop the movements of the two apes, fished out two lobsters from the pot, and one gave them one.

The two ape-men's eyes flashed as they looked at the strange vessel in their hands, at the transparent liquid in the vessel, which was clear but exuded a strange fragrance, and then at the palm-sized red creature in the liquid, if it wasn't for the gift of the god of fire, maybe they would have thrown it away.

After living in the Stone Age for so long, they deeply understood a truth, things should not be eaten indiscriminately, especially the old ape-man, his eyes were dripping and rolling, and his worry was overflowing!

However, under Chen Xu's expectant gaze, the two apes had no choice but to drink the liquid inside, and then stuffed the lobster inside into their mouths and chewed it.

As soon as they ate like this, the eyes of the two apes suddenly changed, and the surrounding apes could clearly feel that their eyes were filled with a flame.

Their movements also became faster, from the reluctance at the beginning, as if going to the battlefield, to the active biting later, almost licking the bottom of the pottery bowl.

Soon, the soup disappeared, and the two apes stared at the cauldron next to them with milky white smoke, their tongues sticking out, constantly licking around their lips.

The old ape-man's body was shaking even more excitedly, and this time the water gave him a unique feeling, as if there was no vomiting fishy smell before, but was full of a faint sweetness.

The warm water slid down his stomach like an elixir, bringing a wonderful touch that this Stone Age ape-man could not refuse.

Seeing the expressions of the two apes, the corners of Chen Xu's mouth twitched, and he thought in his heart, "It's really good, it seems that people can't resist the temptation of cooked food, and the big killing weapon of pottery is a complete success!"

Thinking about it, he scooped another bowl of soup for the old ape-man and told the old fellow to continue drinking, and as for poor ape-man One, he was quickly deprived of the right to use the other bowl, and this time, the pottery bowl was transferred to the ape-man captain's hands.

After the old ape-man drank three bowls of soup in a row, Chen Xu directly refused the old guy's request to continue drinking the soup, deprived him of his bowl, and handed it to the ape-man general with a longing look on his face.

In this way, two bowls and a pot of soup, the important ape-men of the tribe took turns in turn, and they all drank this delicious fish soup.

After drinking, several leading figures in the tribe all looked crazy, looking at the great fire god expectantly, and taking this opportunity, Chen Xu told him about the pottery.

The main meaning is that it is a gift from him to communicate the great flame, and it is a sacred thing, a precious treasure of the tribe, and no one is allowed to break it to pieces, otherwise it will be punished severely.

The rest was to instruct the ape-man to continue digging in the river to make yellow clay, and he would teach the old ape-man the technique of making pottery and continue to fire the pottery.

After the episode of breakfast, everyone continued to gnaw on the half-cooked bones, although the fish soup was delicious, but not everyone could drink it, and they couldn't be full, except for Chen Xu, the leader, several other ape cores could only taste it, and there was a very long distance from everyone being able to drink enough.

After breakfast, the apes were in full swing again, and the old apes came to Chen Xu's front and respectfully listened to the teachings of the fire god.

After having the experience of firing pottery for the first time, Chen Xu's confidence became much greater for the second time, so he directly fired nine pieces of pottery, including the pottery vat he imitated.

To his delight, the casks were formed, and to his displeasure, three of the nine pieces of pottery fired this time had cracks, but it was still possible to hold water for the time being.

With the advent of pottery, Chen Xu realized his dream of boiled eggs and boiled meat, and other apes gradually got rid of the fate of drinking raw water, and from time to time, they were able to drink a mouthful or two of fish soup.

The entire Vulcan tribe is advancing at a rapid pace of development.
