Chapter 19 Firing Clay Jars
Back to reality, Fengyun had a somewhat distorted feeling, he remembered that it was only noon when he started the skill fusion, and it felt like it was only ten minutes old, but it was already dark, and he was still squatting by the stream.
"Oops! cramps, cramps......" Fengyun called and sat on the ground, and it took a long time for his legs to recover his strength.
It's too dangerous, Fengyun is a little afraid, in case the bear ran back the day before yesterday and saw a person squatting by the stream motionless, he should thank God for giving it a free dinner!
Next time, you can't just fuse skills in the wild, this time it's really lucky, the brown bear shouldn't be hanging around in this area, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.
Rubbing his cramped calves, Fengyun limped back to the fire, and found that the little monkey was gone, presumably taken by his mother, and took away half of the grilled fish on the fire, leaving only a cleanly gnawed branch.
Fengyun complained, ran into the woods and picked up a pile of firewood, and came back, and rekindled a fire.
The second-order skill fishing and hunting is really strong, not only allowing him to master a lot of hunting skills, including weaving fishing nets, making lines and fishing, various trap setting methods, etc., but also allowing him to gain a lot of knowledge of survival in the wild. Although he only remembered the basics, he still had some experience in guarding against large beasts.
Yesterday he dug a puddle to catch fish, and it felt quite useful, but now he looked at it again, but how could it be a rough word? Within two minutes of entering the water, he touched a fish empty-handed.
The gradual accumulation of knowledge gave him more and more confidence in the one-year task deadline, and the axe and chisel required for carpentry skills could be made with stone art, which in turn could be used to match the roulette wheel required by carpentry to make pottery......
Fengyun believes that with the passage of time, there will be bread, and so will the bread workshop...... You just have to find the wheat first.
After eating a few meals of grilled fish without salt in a row, Fengyun is about to fade out of a bird, no, I have to hurry back to the beach to dry some salt in the past two days, otherwise I really can't bear it.
He didn't have anything to eat now. After having fishing and hunting skills, except for the flying in the sky, he has the confidence to catch other animals to fight tooth sacrifices, but he is limited by tools, and can only attack the small ones, and he is going to eat the rabbit that flies his kite tomorrow.
After getting a bunch of thin branches and grass vines from the woods, Fengyun used the skills he had learned to weave six simple shrimp pots. Divide the leftover fish into small pieces, put a little in each shrimp pot, put it on and put it on the edge of the stream, pull the linked grass and vines to the shore, find a big stone to press, Fengyun clapped his hands and stood up.
He really had enough of the grilled fish, so get a few shrimp pots to see if he can catch some shrimp, which is also a change of taste.
He didn't have to worry about the shrimp pots when they were put in the water, and picked up the big firewood from the fire and kept it for tomorrow, and Fengyun returned to the woods to prepare to go up the tree to sleep.
Climbing up the tree, Fengyun looked around, and the monkeys didn't know where they went, and they were all gone.
"Cool sparrow! ...... more mouths on the branches" Fengyun suddenly sang loudly, waking up a few sparrows that were standing on the treetops and falling asleep, and flew to the side with a chirp, as if scolding him for being like a mentally retarded.
After the sparrows moved out of their positions, Fengyun crawled over and seized the vantage point.
The branches and leaves on the treetops were relatively luxuriant, and the wind and clouds broke down a lot, and spread them at the forks of the treetops, and made a bunk where they could lie on their sides.
"Damn, you're a birdman. Fengyun complained as he climbed to the branch bunk, pressed his foot on the trunk to maintain his balance, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
It was not comfortable to lie down and sleep in the tree, and the branches made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but want to turn over, but as soon as he turned over, he would lose his balance and almost fall off several times. In the second half of the night, it suddenly rained in the forest, and the wind and clouds had nowhere to hide, so they could only hold the trunk of the tree and count the raindrops.
The birdsong in the forest is like an automatic alarm clock, as long as the sun comes out, it is guaranteed to be endless, and the next morning, Fengyun is so noisy by the chirping of birdsong that he can't sleep, so he has to climb down the tree and yawn under the tree.
The drowsy head was slowly awakened by the fresh and cool air, feeling the breeze blowing, listening to the birdsong in the ears, and the few rays of sunlight shining on the arms were warm and comfortable. Being in the natural forest oxygen bar, Fengyun was drowsy, slumped under the tree and looked at the stream in the distance, not wanting to do anything, just to let go.
I tore off a grass stalk, pulled out the tender stem in the middle, and made a simple grass whistle. This is a thing I used to play with when I was a child, Fengyun leaning leisurely against a tree, blowing an unknown minor tune.
In the real world, all he thinks about is to study hard, get into a good university, get a good job, earn money to buy a house, and marry a daughter-in-law...... And here, he just has to think about what to eat at this meal and what to eat at the next meal, which is better and which is inferior, it is not easy to compare, but after the initial panic, he is now slowly getting used to life here.
"Shhh Frowning, he pulled it off and threw it on the ground, and when he looked around, he found that there were already several ants crawling on his body, and it seemed that he was blocking the ant transport team.
After patting the ants, Fengyun stood up lazily, stretched, and muttered, "Don't let people be idle for a while!" With that, he sighed and walked towards the stream, ready to appease the protesting belly.
Finding the place to get off the shrimp pot, he looked down, stretched out his hand and plucked the straightened grass vine, the touch told him that he should have a lot of gains, and a smile appeared on Fengyun's face.
Stretched out his hand into the water and touched it, and with a lot of force, he pulled a string of shrimp pots out, filled with six shrimp pots, and the fat grass shrimp in them were squeezed together, and the heavy weight made Fengyun very happy, it was really a bumper harvest!
Carrying the shrimp pot to the embers of the fire, Fengyun brought the drill firearm and prepared to make a fire to cook the shrimp to eat.
The second bark pot was of good quality, and it didn't leak after using it several times, so Fengyun took it to the stream and washed it, then filled it with half a bark pot of water, and put it on the fire and burned it.
There was no condition to pick the shrimp line, so Fengyun simply pinched the heads and tails of the grass shrimps, squeezed out the shrimp meat and threw it into the pot to cook.
The water quickly boiled, the shrimp were only peeled a little, and Fengyun found a thin branch to fork the blanched shrimp meat to eat.
Although there is no salt to enhance the freshness, the freshness of the material itself is amazing enough.
The shrimp is cooked quickly, and the slightly transparent green shrimp meat turns pink after rolling twice in the boiling water, curled up into a shrimp ring, poked and picked with a branch, and then sent into the mouth, Q bomb is smooth and delicious.
There were six shrimp pots, and more than a pound of shrimp were peeled out, and Fengyun ate happily until the bark pot was burned.
Wiping his mouth, Fengyun muttered dissatisfiedly: "If you have a little salt and put some green onions, it will be perfect." "But it's just talk.
After eating, Fengyun didn't want to move anymore, and touched his stomach to melt in the shade of the tree, and then got up and went to the "pottery workshop" to have a look.
After a day and a night of drying, the mud tank was almost dry, Fengyun tried to move it, and it was no problem to hold it up.
This can be burned, Fengyun took the clay jar back to the fire and put it away, ran back to the woods to find firewood, ready to burn the clay jar.
The mud tank is much larger than the mud cup, and the firewood required is also a lot, just picking up dry branches is no longer enough for wind and clouds, not to mention that he also wants to get a tree house or a grass house, but also uses small trees, and it is obviously unrealistic to use a flint axe to cut it. Therefore, plans to make some usable stone tools had to be put on the agenda.
He put the clay jar on the fire, piled the firewood he had picked up, found a large branch with dense foliage, cut it down and used it as a fan to fan the wind, and the fire soon burned brightly.
The fire was fierce, but Fengyun kept looking for new firewood until the mud jar was burned red surrounded by charcoal.
A fire burned for two hours, and Fengyun took the opportunity to take a bath in the creek and then lie down in the sun to dry.
The warm sun was very comfortable on the body, and the wind and clouds were dazed, and I even lay down by the fire and fell asleep.
When he woke up again, the fire had been extinguished, Fengyun jumped up refreshed, stretched his waist, and found a branch to see the firing of the mud jar.
The original red-hot tank was already a little blackened, but the temperature was still very high, and Fengyun still used a branch to pull it out and sprinkle some water. After a stabbing sound, the water droplets quickly turned into vapor and rose.
At this time, you can only wait for it to cool down naturally, and it will crack instantly when you put it into the water, and the wind and clouds will wait aside, cleaning up the unburned charcoal and keeping it for later use.
There is no need to wait for it to cool down completely, and when the water droplets are sprinkled and no longer evaporate, Fengyun will push the mud tank and slowly roll into the stream, let the stream wash for a while, and then wash the tank with blades of grass, and a mud tank that can store water is ready.
Filled with a tank of water, Fengyun laboriously picked up from the stream, very excited, finally has a working kitchenware!
Rekindled a fire, Fengyun couldn't wait to boil a pot of hot water first, caught a fish and shrimp and put it in, and boiled a pot of soup, although there was no salt, but he was already very satisfied to drink a bowl of hot soup.
The burnt mud cup was too small, and he could only drink one sip at a time, but Fengyun still drank happily and drank the fish soup clean until he stopped.
Sitting by the fire with a full burp, Fengyun thought about what to do next. The clay jar is very easy to use, it can be used as a tool for holding water, it can also be used as a pot, with the clay jar, it is natural to make some other pots and pans, and he has begun to fantasize about having a kitchen. The premise of having a kitchen is to build a house first, and if you have carpentry, pottery, and stone skills, it seems that it is not impossible to build a house! Everything is a matter of time! Fengyun is very ambitious, but the first thing to do is to get some salt first, and the life without salt is too difficult!
