Chapter 55: Wild Herbs and Mushrooms
Three days later, the stone burned the roulette out, and the clay was relatively perfect, and the things made were naturally not too bad, so the roulette still looked quite good after it was burned.
The wood used for support, the stone has already been made, and it has been very firmly fixed on the ground at this time, although the ground is only exposed for a dozen inside, but the part buried in the soil is more than one meter, and it is still using the technology of building houses in the tribe, which can be said to be very strong.
The wood has also been polished repeatedly, and the hard-wearing wood is selected, and after peeling off the bark, the front end is rounded, and then the charcoal is polished off, and now the stone has touched a layer of oil on it.
These oils are usually reluctant to cook too much, but now they are used here, but Song Xuan still thinks it is worth it, and it is only good for Teng Snake to make pottery better, not harmful.
The two of them carefully aligned the roulette wheel and put it on, Song Xuan grabbed the edge and turned it, and the roulette wheel rotated, although it was not particularly fast, but there was no problem with decorating ordinary pottery.
However, this kind of potter's wheel also has a disadvantage, that is, after the rotating hand stops, the speed drops quickly, especially if there is something on it, or it slows down after a few laps, and if you want to maintain a good speed, you basically have to keep pushing hard.
In this way, it is a little difficult for a person to use, but fortunately, the tribe is still fully staffed, and the stone pottery and stone porcelain that followed the stone before can also help, although this kind of thing is more suitable to be handed over to the captive, but when it comes to tribal secrets, you can only come by your own people.
As for using a more complex structure to make it easier to maintain high-speed rotation, Song Xuan didn't know how to do it, so he modified it and made it into a gear-driven, and one person could turn the gear on the side, not only would it not affect the person who made the clay, but the speed was also easier to control.
But this kind of thing is still too complicated for the current Teng Snake, and it can only be said that the tools are better in the future, but now this kind of thing is enough, and it is more than enough to make things in the tribe.
On the day when the roulette wheel was burned, Song Xuan also decided to soak the remaining seeds one after another, and the small shoots of rice in the field had already exposed the ground and were three fingers high, and they basically grew out, indicating that this set of plans was still feasible.
As long as it can grow, it means that there is no waste of seeds, and the rest of the matter is relatively simple, the environment that the tribe has made for them is better than the wild, and all they need to do is to grow happily in the field.
But only Song Xuan's two clothes in the tribe can be breathable when they sprout, and the speed is relatively slow at first, and he can only get one or two catties at a time.
But Song Xuan later came up with a new idea, it is not impossible to use animal skins, spread animal skins on the ground, and then spread the seeds on it, as for covering the ground, you can't use animal skins, the thatch around the tribe is very good, and sprinkling water can also maintain humidity.
After four or five days, the seeds will still sprout.
After three rounds of germination, all the seeds were finally put into the ground, of course, the first two rounds were relatively few, only two or three catties, basically the last batch was made.
Therefore, Song Xuan thought that the seedlings bred from the first two batches of seeds could be planted together, and the number was not much anyway, even if it was for everyone to practice, because everyone in the tribe, including Song Xuan, had no planting experience.
If you don't think about it, you may not be able to grow it well.
As the seedlings began to grow, the bowl and a half of seeds that Shi Meng collected last year were also planted by Song Xuan, and most of the things were not as water-deficient as rice, so he dug another piece of land on the side.
As for what could grow, Song Xuan didn't know, he could only hope that there would be something useful in it.
After eating meat for more than half a year, although Song Xuan has adapted to it, he still misses the taste of stir-fried vegetables very much, and now Song Xuan is looking for wild vegetables near the tribe.
In the past, he didn't touch the spring water with his ten fingers, and he didn't cook often, let alone know these wild vegetables, so he also came blindfolded, no matter what he looked like, he would get it back to the tribe first.
After digging it back, let the animals in the tribe eat it first, at least to ensure that there is no poison, and after seeing that there is indeed no problem with their appearance, Song Xuan will boil it in water to taste the taste.
But it's a pity that most of them can't be eaten, and they can bitter their tongues one by one, and there are only two or three things that can be eaten, and of course the taste is not very good.
Song Xuan didn't know if they were vegetables or not, anyway, he knew that they could be eaten, and he put some on them when he cooked the soup, at least it looked good, and occasionally eating a vegetable leaf could also relieve greasyness, at least it could also help digestion.
After trying it, Song Xuan almost ate all the weeds around the tribe, and when he saw that there were no new varieties, he gave up.
However, although there are no wild vegetables, the mushrooms in the forest have also grown intensively, although Song Xuan does not know much, but the people of Teng Snake are still very good at studying this.
Basically, they all know what they can eat and what they can't eat, and when they go to pick with Song Xuan, they can remind Song Xuan what they can't pick.
Red umbrella umbrella, white pole pole, and lie down together after eating.
Teng snake here also has a similar proverb, which means that the good-looking can not be eaten, after eating, you will see the gods, although the people here are relatively light on life and death, but eating mushrooms and eating death is obviously not easy for ordinary people to accept.
When Song Xuan came, it was no longer the time for mushrooms to grow, so he didn't know that Teng Snake also knew that it could be eaten, and he almost lost someone when he saw everyone pick mushrooms back for the first time.
"Why don't you dry it and keep it and eat it slowly?"
"Drying is like wood, you can't eat it at all!" , Shi Yong said angrily on the side.
"Who said that? This, this, and this, dried are even better than fresh! ”
Song Xuan pointed to shiitake mushrooms and several kinds of mushrooms that were commonly used in stewed soup in later generations.
"Oracle, is this true?"
Seeing that they were still a little unconvinced, Song Xuan said:
"You'll find out if you post some!"
"It would be nice if you could eat it, there are a lot of things that you can't eat every year, and the rest is wasted!"
Shi Meng said with some regret.
Indeed, the time for mushrooms to ripen is so small every year, and if they are not preserved, they will naturally be eaten after a while.
Teng snake is surrounded by mountains and forests, the fungi in it can be said to be countless, if they are all collected back to dry, so that there are eaten, even if the others are a little worse, but in the soup to cook is definitely better than just boiling meat.
Since the divine envoy said that he could eat it, he would definitely be able to eat it, this was the unanimous idea of the Teng Snake people, so everyone quickly took action, picked up a lot of it and put it in the open space to dry, anyway, they couldn't finish it, so they would dry it first.
