"Pottery."

"Those mud clumps you put on the river?"

Shen Xiaoxiao's face is full of black lines, what is mud? It's obviously a clay billet.

She originally wanted to scold them, but thinking that they didn't understand this now, she endured it, and said silently, "It's not mud, you'll know when it's burned." ”

The people of the tribe looked at each other, after all, they really didn't understand what Tao she was talking about, but seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao didn't mean anything more, they also closed their mouths.

She is a goddess, everything she does should have her own meaning, and it is normal for them not to understand the thoughts of a goddess.

Shen Xiaoxiao guarded the fire, slowly cut the gourd picked back yesterday in half with a bone knife, took out the seeds inside and put them aside, these seeds were kept for the spring of the next year to be planted, and then there was no need to look for them everywhere.

Then use a bone knife to scrape the inside a little bit, during which she often adds firewood to the fire to prevent the fire from being extinguished, and uses a long stick to pluck the firewood to heat the clay evenly, and then she cuts off the top of another gourd, pours out the seeds inside, stretches the branch into it and slowly scrapes it along the edge a few times, and then pours out the contents with the bottle mouth down, and so on several times, until she can't pour anything anymore, she wants to use this gourd to fill water, so that even the mountains can drink clean water.

The others were very curious when they looked at Shen Xiaoxiao's movements, but they didn't come forward to ask, their eyes met with each other, full of puzzlement.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know their eyes, and after adding firewood to the fire, she took the bark to the river to wash the bark, and then peeled it into small roots, these barks were brought back by Xiao Yan yesterday, and they were used to dry persimmons, after all, the ground was dirty, and it was mud directly on the ground, and there was no such thin rope, so she could only use this stupid method.

Looking at the place where the sun was shining, Shen Xiaoxiao estimated that it should be about one or two o'clock now, and it should have been burned for three or four hours, until the fire was completely extinguished, she used a long stick to pick out the pottery inside, and it was not until all of them were picked out that she smiled on her face, it was not burned out, she was ready for damage, and the result was better than she expected.

Setting aside the burnt pottery to cool, she carried a basket of persimmons to the river to clean them, and then slowly peeled off the skin with a bone knife.

The people of the tribe couldn't help but wonder anymore, "Goddess, what are you doing here?" ”

"Make persimmons, leave them for a long time, and you can eat them in winter." Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at the visitor, it was an old man she didn't know, with a dark complexion, a face full of wrinkles, a slightly bent waist, and an inquiring look in her eyes, but there was no malice, most of them were curious.

"Huh? Isn't this thing sitting out for a long time? The old man was slightly shocked, they knew that the astringent fruit could be eaten, but they didn't expect that it would not last long, and they wanted to pick more and put it back to eat in winter.

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Ripe persimmons can't be stored for a few days, they will rot." She knows that they tend to store food for a longer period of time.

"But after making persimmons, they can be finished in the winter." If it is well preserved, it will not be a problem to eat it for a winter.

The old man was a little stunned, and his breath was short, "Really? "Although the fruit they picked lasted for a long time, it was basically shriveled in the end, and some of it was spoiled, and they could not waste it for the sake of their stomachs, as long as it was not rotten, they had to eat it.

If it is really possible to leave it for the end of the winter, as the goddess said, then can they do more, so that they don't have to eat the fruits that have no water in the winter?

"Nature is true."

After a while, the old man said, "Goddess, are you going to peel off all these skins?" We'll help you. ”

"No, you just have to do your job."

"It's okay, goddess, we're all done, we'll help you with the rest." The old man hurriedly said, and the others also echoed, bluntly saying that they were not busy, and some had even begun to help her.

Shen Xiaoxiao had no choice but to say nothing about this, she was also very clear about their thoughts, she just wanted her to teach them, in fact, if they spoke directly, she might not refuse, after all, this is really not a technical job, and she will be able to watch herself twice.

With their help, the speed is indeed much faster, and after a while, a basket of persimmons will be peeled, she originally planned to peel the skin, and the pot will be cooled and ready to use, but now it is obviously not good, so she has no choice but to take out the remaining persimmons and wash them and peel them.

After she was ready, the pot was also cooled, of course, she couldn't do without the help of the tribe people to be so fast.

She found two stones to build together to make a simple stove, and then put the pot with water on it, "Goddess, what is this?" ”

"Boil water." Shen Xiaoxiao said while lighting the fire, "You have to scald it with boiling water, otherwise the dried persimmons will be moldy." "It doesn't take long to burn, just two or three seconds.

"Goddess, is this what you call a pot?" The others were full of curiosity, looking at the pot on the fire, and now they couldn't imagine what this thing was for, after all, they used to drink raw water directly, so they couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Yes, for cooking."

"Is this a cauldron?" Someone pointed to the water tank and said excitedly.

"No, that's a water tank, it's used to hold water." Shen Xiaoxiao introduced the use of bowls and bowls to them, and they were stunned for a long time.

If it is really as good as the goddess said, then will they be able to eat a lot of delicious food in the future?

Soon water vapor came out of the small hole reserved for the pot lid, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that the water was boiling, opened the lid, and someone wanted to reach out to touch it, but she quickly stopped, "You can't touch it directly, it will burn, don't put your face on top of the water vapor when the water is boiling, it will be burned." Then he pointed to the rising water vapor, "These are the water vapors that are rising." "Sometimes I don't pay attention to being burned by water vapor and immediately get a big blister.

The man withdrew his hand curtly, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more, poured the water into the bowl, and then put the persimmon in it and quickly scooped it up and put it aside.

The others were puzzled and didn't understand what it was for when they put it in the water and took it out, that is, it was stained with water, and the others didn't seem to have any effect at all.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know what they were thinking, and it took a few pots of water to finish scalding, and the water on the persimmons that were scalded at the beginning was also dry, she tied the persimmon pedicles with bark, afraid that the bark would break, and she didn't dare to tie too much after tying three or four of a bark, and she tied one if it was too short.

The others were even more confused, not understanding what she was doing.

But seeing that her hands didn't stop, they had to suppress their doubts and tie up the persimmons with her.

Shen Xiaoxiao took three tree trunks, then tied them together with a rope made of reeds in a triangle shape, tied six of these tripods, and then put a branch on top of it, and hung the persimmons on it.
