Chapter 7 Pottery
"Everyone, let's build a few more today, so that the clansmen can move to their new homes faster."
Before the sun had fully risen, Su Yu took them and started working.
Su Yu grabbed a handful of slimy mud with his hands and pasted it on the wall of the earthen house.
Looking at the mud in his hand, Su Yu suddenly remembered something.
"I forgot about pottery."
The tribe still uses rudimentary stone pots, and even if they drink water, they have to run to the creek to get water to drink.
The role of the container is self-evident, and the pottery is used to cook meat, and the soup is much more suitable than this heavy stone pot. I've been busy with other things for the past few days, and I haven't remembered to get the pottery out.
As soon as he said it, Su Yu immediately took a few people to the river to dig clay suitable for making pottery.
After digging up the right soil, Su Yu began to knead the mud.
"Patriarch, what are you doing?"
The clansmen next to him saw Su Yu kneading the soil and were a little puzzled.
"I'm making a container."
"What is a container?" They didn't understand the meaning of the new words that came out of the patriarch's mouth.
"It can be used to hold things and water." Su Yu directly said the role of pottery.
"Patriarch, can it really hold water?" The tribesmen were in disbelief. They had a high level of loyalty and believed in the words of the patriarch.
"Of course, but not now, we'll know when we make it."
After kneading the mud ball, Su Yu began to knead the pottery embryo.
One by one, the clay embryos appeared from his hands, and in the blink of an eye, the morning passed.
It wasn't until his stomach rumbled that Su Yu stopped what he was doing and prepared to eat first.
"Patriarch, some people from the tribe moved in the morning, and they brought food by the way." As soon as he arrived at the campfire, Su Xun saw the patriarch, and then reported to the patriarch.
"Don't those old people want to come over?" Su Yu asked.
"They don't want to yet, they should wait until this side is built, and then they may come over."
Today's lunch is wild boar, since the hunting team has a new weapon, they can bring back a prey every time, if it is not for the fear that they will bring back too much and eat it all, the meat will rot, they are fully capable of hunting more prey.
After lunch, Su Yu saw several children playing and playing, and a little boy playing with mud, having a lot of fun.
"Do you like dirt?" Su Yu watched the child knead the soil into the shape of various animals, and thought that he still lacked a helper in making pottery, isn't this little helper just right?
"Patriarch ......"
"Call uncle." Su Yu frowned, not only is it not good to be an adult, but it also doesn't sound young. And the title of uncle can pull more into the relationship.
"Yes, Uncle Patriarch." The little boy was a little nervous in front of Su Yu, wiped the sweat on his face, but forgot that there was still mud on his hands, and directly turned into a flower face.
"Uncle taught you a magical technique to turn dirt into something very beautiful." Su Yu said softly. I don't think it's illegal child labor, after all, it's a job that interests young boys.
Su Yu looked at the little boy's panel by the way, his name was Su Tu. The name is very casual, the four items are not prominent, the upper limit is very average, they are all four stars, and the talent is [Mason: Very interested in soil. 】
Sure enough, talents are innate.
With the little boy in tow, Su Yu continued his morning work.
"yes, that's it." When the little boy pinched out the first clay embryo he was out of control, it turned out that he could also get the patriarch's praise by playing with clay, and he had to share it with his mother at night, and the little boy thought about it while devoting himself to the work of shaping the clay embryo.
Su Yu is very pleased that the tribe is full of talents, not because he is a capitalist, but because he wants everyone to be able to play their own value.
"This pinch is much better than mine." Su Yu looked at the pottery embryo, which had a smooth surface and a round appearance. Sure enough, professional things still have to be done professionally.
"I have to care more about Su Tu's parents and give him more food." Talent is to be valued.
Put these clay embryos in the sun and air dry them by the way. The sun in autumn is not as strong as in summer, so I am not afraid that the pottery embryo will be cracked by the sun all at once.
These clay embryos have pots, pots, pots and bowls, as well as small water tanks.
"Su Tu, do you have any friends who like dirt as much as you do? You can bring them to cook it together, as long as they come to do it, they can eat more meat every day. ”
Su Yu fooled them like this, and Su Yu didn't want to force these minors to work, it was too inhumane and it was simply the behavior of capitalists.
"Really? I'm going to call them! When Su Tu heard this, he immediately ran to call someone.
There has been no shortage of food for the tribe for a long time, and meat is available every day. When the rice is planted next spring, there will be no need to worry about food.
After a while, a group of little kids came running up.
"Hello Patriarch!" The little kids shouted in unison. made Su Yu almost feel like he was the king of children.
"Su Tu, it's up to you to teach them! I'll leave it to you, teach each of them to me, and I'll teach you the rest tomorrow. ”
"Roger!" Su Tu's little face full of dirt immediately became serious.
……
"Su Xun, come here to help."
Su Yu now needs to build an earthen kiln, and when he saw Su Xun, he immediately stopped him.
The clay kiln is the key to firing pottery, so Su Yu chose a piece of land and asked Su Xun to lead people to prepare materials.
The structure of the earthen kiln is not difficult, leaving a few air inlets at the bottom and a kiln mouth at the top.
It took an afternoon for the kiln to be completed. The whole kiln looks like an upside-down bowl, and the kiln lid is a soil cover made of soil and hay, and after an afternoon of exposure, the soil cover becomes very strong, and the appearance of the kiln is also a lot drier.
Su Yu also lit a fire in the earthen kiln to try the effect, and by the way, dried the walls inside the earthen kiln.
"Patriarch, what is this big house for? The door is actually on it. Su Xun asked, he also had doubts when it was first built, but he didn't ask, just obeyed the order. Now that the construction was finished, his inner curiosity prompted him to ask.
"Su Xun, this is not a house. This is an earthen kiln used to make pottery, and you may not know what it is for now, but you will know tomorrow. ”
Su Yu sold it and didn't explain anything. After all, instead of explaining, it is better to let him see it directly.
At dinnertime, Su Yu saw a grilled fish.
"Where did this fish come from?"
Su Yu was very surprised, the fish was in the water, how did they catch it? Could it be that the fish jumped up on its own?
"Patriarch, this fish was caught by Okawa. He said that he has such a skill, and he specially transferred it to you to eat. A tribal woman explained.
Su Yu was stunned, this ability is really powerful.
In these years, there are no nets, no fishing tools, and it is a very powerful skill to be able to catch fish with your bare hands. At least you have this ability, you can't starve yourself.
"Okawa, come here and let the patriarch take a look at you."
Soon, a handsome teenager appeared in front of Su Yu.
