"Witch, drink hot water."
Han Cheng brought the bowl to Wu and said aloud.
Witch looked at the bowl of water in Han Cheng's hand. He was a little puzzled, and some didn't understand, why this good water was vain.
But when his hand touched the bowl, he understood somewhat, because it was hot.
Wu took the bowl, did not drink it immediately, but held it in his hand, looking at Han Cheng with some puzzlement.
Han Cheng knew that this was what Wu wanted to understand.
Han Cheng is helpless, this old man is good everywhere, but the problem with the root of the question is a little bit so, it is better to lame them without worry, do more and ask less.
Han Cheng complained about it, and he still patiently explained to Wu Wu. He respected this old primitive man who had saved his life from the heart.
This kind of respect is not only because of the grace of life-saving, but also because of the efforts made by the witch for the development of the tribe.
It is necessary to explain things clearly to Wu. First, it can solve the doubts in Wu's mind and make it easy for him to record. Second, it is to promote the system of drinking boiled water in the tribe, which requires Wu to come forward.
Under the alternating use of Hancheng Chinese, tribal language and gestures, Wu finally understood the meaning of drinking water.
He didn't understand why there were invisible bugs in the good water, and he was too able to understand God's words that sickness was caused by bugs, but he remembered one thing firmly.
That is to put water on the fire to boil this kind of bugs to death, drink water without the bugs, and you will be less sick!
Just this is enough!
At this time, medical care did not appear at all, at least not in the Qingque tribe. When sick, there is only one way to survive-hard resistance.
If you resist the past, you will die. If you don’t resist, you will die.
In this era where even ordinary colds and colds can kill people, after hearing Han Cheng say that regular drinking of this kind of water can reduce the possibility of illness, it would be strange if Wu didn't pay attention to it!
There is one more thing that Wu needs to record, which makes Wu feel a little melancholy while being happy.
He originally thought that until he died, these stone slabs in the cave would not be used up. Who would have thought that it hasn't been too long since the son of God has arrived, and some of these stone slabs are not enough. It seems that they need to be brought back by the tribe.
In the afternoon, the big brother returned with the hunting team.
Today’s harvest is not too much. The food they hunted is only enough for one day, and there is no extra food, which means that they need to continue hunting tomorrow.
After having dinner, Wu Jiang recruited the big brother, and told the big brother what Han Cheng told him today.
Like a witch, after hearing that the boiled water had such a great effect, the big brother couldn't help but his eyes widened, and then immediately agreed that the system of drinking boiled water should be implemented in the tribe.
The three blackened stones returned to the periphery of the fire, arranged in a triangular shape. The blackened earthenware pot was filled with water and placed on the stones and then burned.
As time passed, the water in the jar began to heat up...
People in the tribe watched this scene from close or far. Perhaps many of them didn’t understand Han Cheng’s behavior before, but after hearing that eating such water can reduce illness, they all paid attention to it. .
There are too few cylinders and jars, which are inconvenient for boiling water. When the next kiln comes out, it can be turned on.
The two old primitive men who took care of the flames had another job, and that was boiling water.
There is nothing special about boiling water. After Han Cheng demonstrated it twice, they remembered the process and knew what kind of water is boiling.
The boiled water is poured into a large tank where the cold water is poured out, so that when everyone drinks it again, it won’t be too hot and inconvenient.
The job of lifting water was given to a primitive female who is not too strong. She is a spouse of the second brother.
Because the body is relatively weak, I usually don’t go out hunting with the hunting team, but stay in the tribe with several other primitive females who are weaker or have pregnant or nursing children to collect fuel and go to the river. The work of spearfishing.
Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the pottery in the second kiln was also burned for three days. This day was still like the first opening of the kiln, with many people watching.
But Han Cheng is no longer as anxious as last time. Instead, he keeps touching the mud outside of the dried mud kiln and through the ventilation holes to feel and check the temperature inside.
He was patient and waited from morning to afternoon until the mud on the outer layer of the mud kiln was a little cold to the touch, and then he began to tap the mud kiln.
A hole in the mud kiln was smashed open, and heat leaked out of it, but it was not intoxicating.
Han Cheng's heart hung slightly, and he listened carefully to the movement inside, for fear that there would be a "crack" sound of broken pottery.
He waited quietly for a while, and there was no sound. A smile appeared on Han Cheng's face. He speeded up the movement of his hands. After a while, the entire clay kiln was knocked open, revealing the scene inside.
After more than three days of burning, the original mud has all undergone qualitative transformation. Not only has it become pottery, but most of it has become a relatively high-level pottery.
There are many places on their bodies with glorious glaze!
Under the sunlight in the afternoon, it was dark and glowing.
And the yield rate is also very gratifying, only four of the 53 pieces are damaged ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and the rest are all intact.
This includes three tanks of different sizes and five jars with ‘double ears’.
After the pottery of this kiln came out, the ‘pottery shortage’ in the cave was greatly supplemented!
Witch and other people touched some shiny black pottery under the sunlight, their faces were excited, especially when they remembered that such beautiful things would belong to their tribe, they were even more joyful from the heart.
After the initial excitement, everyone cleaned the precious pottery in the river and began to transport it to the hole. Everyone's movements were handled with care, for fear of breaking this precious thing.
Dinner tonight was exceptionally rich.
Well, this abundance not only refers to the variety of food, but also refers to the amount of food that is large enough for everyone to eat.
Tonight’s food is indeed much richer. A large part of this is because Han Cheng put a large tank on the fire, put the meat, and then added water to boil a large tank of broth. !
Everyone who has eaten barbecue all their lives now not only ate the boiled meat but also the rich broth with floating oil, which is not uncommon for them.
However, the food prepared like this is delicious, but one thing is regrettable, that is, if you don't finish the soup in the tank, you won't be able to get the meat below.
However, when the wise and wise son specially burned out a few bowls with symmetrical holes on the edges, and then used a clean finger to find a branch with a thickness of more than one meter long, and used rope grass to pass through the holes, After the branches and the bowl with holes were tied together, this matter was solved perfectly.
Kamiko calls this kind of food that can directly fish out the bottom of the tank and eat it as a "soup spoon"
