But just as they were discussing it, they saw a little bird landed on the ground and began its leisurely walk after dinner.
The children headed by Huang Yan watched the bird step onto the stone slab step by step, pecking at the little fruit under the slate bit by bit. They instantly understood what Chen Chao was going to do!
Hearing a soft "pop", Chen Chao gently pulled the rope in his hand. The stone slab supported by the small sticks lost its balance, and the bird that was tasting the fruit was crushed to the ground.
"Wow!" The children's exclamations were mixed, and they all surrounded them curiously.
Chen Chao bent down and removed the slate, took out the little bird, he sighed, and missed the dustpan...
After re-supporting the slate with small sticks, Chen Chao returned to the rabbit nest and began to pull hay from the inside. The children next to him also learned everything and began to make drafting ropes.
It’s just a bitter for the rabbits, but fortunately, the presence or absence of hay will not have a big impact on them, and in winter, these little rabbits will be moved to caves and other places.
Even when a female rabbit wants to give birth to a baby rabbit, she will choose to use her own hair to make a nest for the baby rabbit.
After making more than a dozen one-meter-long straw ropes, the hay in the rabbit's nest was announced, and they were still eating the fresh green grass slowly, without realizing that their nest was copied. The bottom is upside down.
Taking advantage of the fact that there is no need to hunt today, Chen Chao started the idea of teaching children to speak Mandarin. After all, education should start from the baby!
Starting from what he was doing now, Chen Chao took the draft rope and said word by word, "Grass, rope."
Huang Yan responded first, and he also said like Chen Chao, "Grass, rope."
It’s just that the pronunciation is still not standard, but children learn things very quickly. If you say it a few times, you can imitate the pronunciation very similarly.
If someone takes the lead, the children behind will all learn, "Grass, rope."
"Weaving, straw, rope."
"I, weave, grass, rope."
Chen Chao is not greedy. It is good to be able to learn four or five characters a day. Now the whole tribe can hear children holding straw ropes and saying to their mothers, "I, weave, straw, rope."
As for dad...
Mothers don’t know who is the father of the child...
…
After weaving the straw ropes, Chen Chao thought about the container. There are already several stone basins in the tribe, but this thing cannot boil hot water...
I can’t even cook a fish soup...
He searched the database for several methods of making pottery, but without exception, not only the kiln must be built, but also several layers must be built, and there are certain requirements for the soil quality.
After constantly switching keywords, Chen Chao finally saw the pottery made by the local method in one corner.
It's so simple that it only needs to dig a deep hole, put firewood on it and burn it directly.
However, it should be the case. The people who discovered how to make pottery in the early days must not have found them in the three-story kiln.
After finding a firing method, Chen Chao began to ponder the clay for firing pottery. What he knew, such as kaolin, would definitely not be found now.
Loess is also okay. Chen Chao looked at the soil that was turned over by a wooden stick. Although he was not very satisfied, he could still use it. At most, he would smash some small hard pieces with a stone to remove these visible impurities. .
He dug two pits, one for burning pottery, about 60cm, and one for processing pottery clay, which is more casual.
The people who dealt with the moa's corpse by the small river looked over curiously. One-eyed was also in it. He was holding a small stick while handling the moa's intestines while watching Chen Chao playing in the mud.
Chen Chao first squeezed out 3 small straight-shaped pots, which were about 15-20cm in length. There were too many pits to be dug out. To make larger pottery, it is estimated that either a kiln or a larger pit should be built.
Otherwise, such a small open-air pit, I can't even think about it... But this time I just hold the mentality of experimenting.
He turned his head and looked around, because the pottery-making process was relatively long, and Chen Chao was either digging a hole or playing in the mud. After a few glances, everyone didn't care.
So Chen Chao saw that there were no more people watching, and there was no psychological burden, and there was nothing wrong with failure. If it succeeds, consider making it into a large-scale production next time if you have time.
First, he found a relatively flat stone, and then a wood with no protrusions as a rolling pin. First, he squeezed out the required pot wall, and then used a wooden stick to roll it to almost the thickness, and then made a round bottom.
As for why it is to make a straight pot instead of directly using other more complicated shapes, there are several reasons, 1 is that he does not.
2 is the pot is simple, use a piece of mud to circle into a tube, then connect the bottom piece, connect it, and then process it to become a pot.
3 The pot is needed now, and can be used now. You need a pot to boil hot water, cook a fish soup, and stew a meat.
Although he now has a cheat that can be online at any time, but searching for suitable information does not mean that he can make it right away.
Many things that need time to accumulate still belong, and they will be done once they are done. In this regard, Chen Chao has already been psychologically prepared.
After all, his skill points are planting and hunting...
After squeezing the straight pot, Chen Chao found a cool place and prepared to dry them in the shade. Not all mud embryos need to be dried in the shade, but he is not sure whether they can be exposed to the sun, or to be safe in the shade.
The pot was squeezed in the morning, and when Chen Chao went to see it in the afternoon, he felt almost after touching the mud embryo. After all, it was not a big thing, and he was not sure about the standard for dryness, so he could only experiment repeatedly.
After checking, I made sure that the pot wall was as thick as possible. I put hay in another pit, covered the grass with a layer of fine wood, and put a layer of wood, and finally put the mud embryo on the wood. Above.
Then cover the top with small firewood and hay to start the fire from above. During this period, some flammable twigs were continuously added.
After the bamboo chips burned, Chen Chao was still worried that the temperature was not enough. Another layer of firewood was added.
After waiting for more than two hours with anticipation, Chen Chao went down to the river and used a rattan basket to pick out two palm-sized fish.
Cut open the belly of the fish with a sharp stone, remove the internal organs and gills, and then scrape off the scales of the fish and save it for later use.
Two hours later, after shoveling away the ashes, you can already see the color of Tao. Chen Chao almost shed tears. It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality...
He was finally able to drink hot water!
