"Oracle! Oracle! Get up! ”

Although I didn't sleep particularly late yesterday, it was more than two hours later than usual, so it was a little difficult to get up in the morning, but as soon as the sun came out, a group of little guys came to Song Xuan's door and began to call the door.

After all, Song Xuan also agreed last night, and they will eat candy today, in addition to being more serious in class, Song Xuan still has a very good relationship with these children, and everyone will not be too afraid of him.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Song Xuan got up on a rampage.

The wealth at his feet is long gone.

When the water vapor in the pot evaporated almost last night, Song Xuan brought the pot back to his room with him, and the next thing he needed to do was to cool it, so it didn't affect anywhere.

"Come in!"

Looking at the sugar that had congealed into a lump in the pot, Song Xuan also hurriedly beckoned the little guys outside to come in.

"Divine Messenger, is the sugar ready?"

Looking at the hopeful gazes of a group of little guys, Song Xuan snorted towards the pot and said:

"It's all in the pot!"

At this time, the color of the sugar in the pot is similar to that of brown sugar cubes, but it is darker.

When it cooled down, the air didn't smell as sweet as last night.

The next thing that needs to be done is to pour out the sugar in the pot, fortunately, Song Xuan has prepared all this, and the pot used is not a traditional frying pan, but a round bottom with some thin pieces of wood inserted from the gap on both sides, and it will not be long before the whole thing is separated from the pot.

After all, the pot has a layer of glaze, so it is not particularly sticky.

Seeing that there was still a layer of debris scattered in the pot, several children around him put their hands in and glued them out, shook their fingers, and their eyes suddenly widened:

"Huh?! It's so sweet! ”

Hearing this, the children on the outer floor also squeezed in, although Song Xuan's room was not small, but there were almost twenty children squeezed in at once, and it was no longer spacious.

For fear that everyone would trample the house, Song Xuan hurriedly said:

"Let's go! Go out and divide it! ”

Song Xuan's words were still very powerful, and when they heard this, the children stopped grabbing and retreated one after another.

He put the sugar in the pot and walked to the main house, and the next thing he needed to do was to break the candy.

Although it doesn't seem like a lot, Song Xuan weighed this piece of sugar, not to mention that it weighed four or five catties, one hundred and fifty or sixty catties of fruit, and in the end, although only this bit of sugar came out, the proportion was okay, at least Song Xuan was still relatively satisfied.

Gently break off a small piece from the edge and stuff it into your mouth, it is really very sweet, and full of messy fruity flavor, although it is complex but harmonious, and it does not feel unpleasant.

At this time, Song Xuan was like an old grandfather who sold sugar on the street in later generations, holding up the sugar in one hand and gently knocking on it with a small stone hammer in the other.

As for the children who were already waiting very anxiously, they had already lined up in a long line, and everyone held their hands in front of Song Xuan, and then Song Xuan knocked down a piece and put it in their hands.

In addition to honey, the tribe could not eat such pure sweets, a small piece of candy, the children were reluctant to eat it in one go, they all licked it twice and pinched it again in their hands.

After all, there were only twenty children, so after dividing them, the big sugar cube in Song Xuan's hand was only a small loss.

Although the adults in the tribe would not line up to get it like children, they all looked at Song Xuan's side with blank eyes, and those who had children had already asked, and they didn't look at these children with expressions of enjoyment, and they knew that the taste would not be too bad.

The honey that usually comes back, the adults at most dip their fingers in it and taste it, and the rest is still for the children to eat, but the sugar extracted from this fruit is not as rare as honey, so everyone also wants to try it, and Song Xuan also understands it very well, so the remaining sugar is also knocked into small pieces, but there are many people in the tribe, and everyone naturally can't share much.

Now it is for everyone to taste it, Song Xuan took two small bowls, and put dozens of pieces of sugar in each bowl, so that Shi Hua and Shi Yan could give everyone a taste.

"Well, that's sweet!"

"And the smell of fruit!"

A piece of candy the size of a fingernail has also been unanimously affirmed by everyone, although yesterday I carried back a whole two baskets, and finally got only such a little, but everyone did not feel a special loss.

"Pick some more fruit today, it's too sweet!"

“……”

If these fruits are not eaten in time, they basically can't be stored for a long time, and there is no good way to preserve them except for making them dry, but this sugar is different, and it can obviously be stored for a long time.

Although the volume and weight have been reduced countless times, the storage resistance alone is worth it.

After four or five catties of sugar were divided, Song Xuan still had two catties in his hand, mainly because the size of the distribution for everyone was not big, and so much sugar definitely couldn't be eaten all at once, and everyone could taste it.

Although you don't get much sugar, it can at least prove that there is no problem with this refining method, and it is quite simple, and anyone can do it with a little patience.

As for sugar, at present, the tribe should only be able to make it into snacks, Song Xuan knows that it can be used to make wine, but after all, he has not operated it, and sugar is also relatively precious, so he doesn't dare to try it easily, anyway, wine is not just needed, and it is not impossible to try it when it is enough in the future.

Although Song Xuan couldn't say that he didn't drink before, he didn't like to drink either, not to mention the others, he didn't even know what wine was, of course, if Song Xuan really made it out, it was estimated that he would definitely be very popular.

After the stimulation of sugar, everyone's enthusiasm for picking fruits has obviously increased a lot, and they will bring back at least one basket every day.

Therefore, the tribe generally practices sugar every two or three days, after all, the fruit cannot be stored for too long.

In just ten days, there are now nearly twenty catties of sugar in the tribe, and the amount is still very considerable, but there may not be such a high output in the future, several kinds of sweet fruits are about to mature on a large scale, although the ripening time of each fruit is not exactly the same, there are sweeter fruits later, which will slowly ripen, but the yield will not be so large.

The number of sweet fruits that can be brought back in the back will naturally be much less, and now this output is still saved by everyone who basically did not eat it.

So in the next few days, Song Xuan also asked Shihua not to pursue sweet fruits too much, it is naturally a good thing, if not, it will not have much impact, and these in the tribe are enough to eat for a long time.

Although sugar is very popular with everyone, no matter who it is, it will definitely not be eaten every day, except for the first piece of sugar per person, it is not so easy to eat it later, unless there is a big event or a relatively good performance, Song Xuan will reward one.

Of course, the conditions of these children in the tribe are naturally looser, and it will not affect them to eat a piece every ten days and half a month.

It's not that Song Xuan is too picky, after all, the output is placed here, and under the existing conditions, he can only be a little stingy, and the jar with sugar was also put in his own room by Song Xuan.

During this period, Shi Meng and the others also came back twice, and Song Xuan naturally gave each of them a piece, but he didn't expect this group of complaining wild men to also show the demeanor of children when they ate sugar.

"Oracle, anything else?"

Shi Yong chewed the sugar he got in two bites before, and after eating, he wanted to ask Song Xuan again, but naturally there was none:

"It's gone, no one is just a piece!"

Song Xuan didn't expect that he hadn't finished sending it here, and Shi Yong had already finished eating.

But the rules set down can't be messed up, this is the first piece of each person is a small benefit in the tribe, so that everyone can taste it, and if you want more, you can only rely on your ability.

Hearing Song Xuan's decisive refusal, Shi Yong could only smack his lips very reminiscingly, staring at the people around him with unkind eyes.

As for the virtue of the second leader of the tribe, everyone in the hunting team obviously understood it very well, and everyone didn't care about appreciation, and stuffed the sugar they had received into their mouths.

One by one, they were afraid that their hand speed would be slow, and they would be snatched by Shi Yong, seeing this, Shi Yong could only give up, who told himself to eat so fast, he could only think about whether he could have a better performance in the future, and then divide one or two pieces.

A small piece of candy can obviously be a nice reward to motivate everyone, no matter what the effect, as long as it works.

……

"Divine envoy, divine envoy, what do you think of this pottery bowl?"

Although Shi usually helps with other tasks, his main task is to help the tribe make pottery, and the tribe still has a great demand for all kinds of pottery.

Although bows and arrows have become popular, the captives still use slings, after all, arrows are relatively difficult to make, so in addition to archers, other people still use slings most of the time, and the demand for pottery pills is not small, and they have to replenish three or four hundred pieces every time they go out.

After a while, he needed to make some of them, and the tribe did not ask him to join the hunting party, so when the tribe was not alive, the stones were generally pondering to make new pottery.

After many experiments, it can be clearly felt that the newly made pottery is much smoother and more round than before, although the runner has not been upgraded much, but it has also undergone many changes, and now it will be more comfortable to use, if the two of them cooperate, the speed is also very fast, especially suitable for making some relatively exquisite things.

The stone is already trying to add all kinds of patterns to the pottery in the tribe, but these patterns are just decorations, although Song Xuan also likes it, but it has not improved much for use.

However, the first time I saw the lines on it, everyone was still very novel, and they all played carefully with each other, but after a long time, they returned to the original state.

Although there is not much difference in use, the one with the pattern is obviously more popular, so Song Xuan is also ready to promote it in the future exchange conference, if it has the totems of various tribes, it will obviously be sought after by other tribes.

As for what Song Xuan has been telling him, coloring the pottery, he has not been able to fully figure it out, the current pottery patterns are all black, and there are no other colors, of course, this must be a problem of raw materials, if you can find natural ore pigments, you can naturally make more exquisite painted pottery.

But the bowl that the stone handed to Song Xuan at this time did not have extra patterns on it.

The stone will not let Song Xuan see the quality of a pottery for no reason, after all, every time the kiln is opened, all kinds of pottery will be burned, and if there are no special circumstances, they will be pulled directly into the warehouse.

Looking at the pottery bowl in his hand, Song Xuan's first feeling was that the color was lighter than ordinary pottery, and Song Xuan's mind suddenly thought of the previous attempt that the stone had been doing:

"Made?!"

"Well, oracle, look at it!"

Hearing this, Song Xuan went back to the house directly and took out the bowl he was eating with, the pottery bowl used by Song Xuan was generally sent from the best stone from each batch, the quality was naturally speechless, and the appearance was basically flawless.

After all, these pottery are made of stone by hand, so it is inevitable that there will be some fingerprint residues or protrusions, and as for the bowl, it is not so round, which is a frequent occurrence, so it is still somewhat difficult to get the perfect pottery, and there are only two or three in each batch.

"Ding~"

The two clay bowls collided with each other and made a crisp sound.

It may be that the quality is good, so they are all safe and sound, and there is not even a gap.

"Ding~"

Song Xuan increased his efforts next, and then there was a crack, but the broken one was commonly used by Song Xuan, this bowl was directly missing a big hole, of course, the situation of the newly made pottery bowl was not much better, and there were cracks, even so, it can be seen that the quality of the new pottery bowl should have been improved to another level.

In winter, Song Xuan mentioned it to the stone, adding other things to the clay to improve the quality of the pottery, Song Xuan didn't know much, but he had heard that adding bone meal to the ceramics could make the quality of the ceramics better, so he directly said to the stone, and the stone obviously remembered it in his heart after listening to it, and when he polished the bone tools, he would also deliberately collect some bone meal.

However, after a few attempts, the results were not very good, not only did not improve, but became more brittle.

After going back and forth, Song Xuan didn't pay attention to this matter anymore, after all, if he seemed to be very concerned every time, it would obviously add some pressure to the stone, just when Song Xuan was about to forget about it, he didn't expect a new surprise to come.

The general was also smashed, and a fragment of the same size was selected, Song Xuan tried again with a stone hammer, and they were all smashed from the same height, but the bearing height of the new pottery bowl was obviously much higher than the previous one.

According to the description of the stone, there was too much bone meal added before, so that it has not been done well, and this time it was also due to a mistake, and accidentally knocked over a plate of bone meal, because the clay has been kneaded almost, the stone is a little reluctant to throw.

I thought that this bit of bone meal should not have much impact, so I re-inflicted it, and made a batch of pottery with it, and when I opened the kiln, I saw that the color was not right, and the stone was still thinking that it was broken, and my heart was half cold, although there were not many pottery burned this time, but I was busy for several days before and after.

Originally, he wanted to smash one and give it a try, if the strength was barely qualified, it could also be exchanged for other tribes later, and the pottery used by Teng Snake was naturally the best quality, and the exchange with other tribes was either flawed or eliminated by everyone.

Each time a new batch is burned, the stones are inspected one by one, and then the quality is differentiated, and they are divided into two categories, so that they can be loaded directly into the ship and taken away when the exchange meeting begins.

After a long time, the stone also has its own set of inspection methods, now with a flick of the hand on it or a light touch of two bowls, listen to the sound to know which one is stronger.

This time it was the same, hearing the sound of his fingers tapping, Shi glanced at the pottery bowl in his hand in disbelief, this voice was not worse than the best pottery bowl in the tribe now.

The stone didn't believe it and changed a few, but the result was almost the same, it was lifted up and put down from mid-air, and it didn't break when it fell to the ground, although the ground was earth, but it had been tamped many times, and a bowl with a person's height was almost a little bit close, and it really couldn't hold it.

So after discovering that the quality of this batch of bowls was good, the stone came directly to find Song Xuan.

Although it was an unexpected discovery, it has already figured out the direction of future blending, at least the quality of the pottery in the tribe is no problem to improve one level.

After all, pottery is pottery, and its fragile properties are difficult to change, and although those used in the tribe are carefully crafted, they are still often chipped, or even broken.

Especially when the hunting party is outside, the bowl will break if you don't pay attention, so you often have to bring a few spares.

It is still very necessary to improve the quality of pottery, and the probability of a better pottery bowl being broken is relatively small, and it can be improvised when it is late, and it does not have much impact on one or two people with one.

The most troublesome thing is the pot, this thing is basically carried according to the head, the volume is relatively large and not light, and the pressure is naturally greater if you bring more.

So once it is broken, it will be much more troublesome to eat, and you can only eat it in batches.

In any case, the higher the quality of the pottery, the better, so Song Xuan also asked the stone to find the most perfect proportion as soon as possible.

Although there is a direction now, after all, it is a blind cat that meets a dead mouse, and it is impossible to achieve the most perfect ratio at one time, and the best proportion still has to be explored slowly.

The next step is to try again and again, burn more, in order to get the most perfect proportion.

No matter what you make, it's impossible to do it in one step, and in most cases you have to go through repeated attempts, and the various weapons and tools in the tribe are slowly optimized in this way.

However, the samples have come out, and the next step is the process of finding the optimal solution, and I believe that it should not be too long before the tribe can use bone pottery.

Anyway, they are all animal bones, and Song Xuan does not resist them, this can be regarded as the last chance for these prey to shine, and it has truly reached the point of "crushing bones and scattering ashes".

Bones are not so easily broken, so they are used more often in tribes than stones, especially spears and javelins, which are best made of bones.

Of course, in terms of quantity, more must be used in the production of arrows.

No matter what you make, you must go through careful polishing, which will naturally produce a lot of bone meal, so there is obviously no need to worry about the raw materials, basically it can be said that there are as many as you want, and the demand for pottery is not so great anyway.

Just get some is enough for the tribe, this kind of pottery with bone meal will definitely not be traded for the time being, after all, the major tribes are not even fully popularized pottery, glazed is promoted, this kind of better quality must be put in the back.

It can't be said that Song Xuan is black-hearted, after all, the price is still relatively reasonable, and it can only be blamed that the capital of each tribe is not so strong.

Fortunately, such a thin stream of water is not a bad thing for Teng Snake, at least every time there is a good amount of income.

If you add salt, you can basically exchange it for a month or two of consumption in the tribe, and the income is still very considerable, and this is Song Xuan's intention to restrain the output of salt, if it is completely released, it can compete with the wolf tribe, and the income will definitely be higher at that time, but it is not necessary for the time being, it is not bad to increase it slowly like now, and it is the most perfect solution to eat meat together.

The use of pottery by the Teng Snake tribe has basically been two or three generations ahead of other tribes, and the advantage is still quite obvious, when the various tribes have not yet mastered the production of pottery, the Teng Snake has already begun to explore almost, except for the painted pottery, the existing quality has been exposed to Song Xuan before, there is not much difference.

And now the largest pottery has been able to do about one meter, although it can not be as exquisite as ordinary pottery, but the function is not bad, the appearance can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, beautiful and natural people like it more, but practicality is the first.

Of course, it is not good-looking, mainly because this kind of large pottery cannot be placed on the wheel to decorate, and can only be smoothed by hand, and the gap is naturally a little big.

Compared with ordinary pottery, this kind of large pottery is not easy to damage, one is relatively thick, and the other is basically fixed, and it is rarely instigated to them, so in addition to being accidentally bumped, it will basically not be broken, and there is only one pottery jar in the tribe that has been knocked out of cracks.

And it does not affect the use, although the thin cracks, although from the middle section to the top, but fortunately, the water leakage is not serious in normal use, and there is no problem with using it to hold the usual domestic water.

Although the tribe has a canal to bring water from the river upstream, it is still not enough to use water for cooking or large-scale use, and the water flowing in has to be precipitated, although the water source is relatively clean, but it will inevitably be mixed with some floating soil impurities.

Therefore, it is generally put the water into the tank to settle overnight and then use, there are so many people in the tribe, the demand is naturally not small, and the tank filled with water alone is put into five mouths.

Naturally, you won't need so much at one time, but you don't have to re-fetch water every time you finish cooking, so you can get it once a day or two.
