Three days later, the stone fired the roulette, and the pottery was relatively perfect, so the finished product was naturally not too bad, so the roulette still looked pretty good after it was fired.

The wood and stones used for support have been prepared a long time ago and have been firmly fixed on the ground. Although only a dozen or so sides of the ground are exposed, the part buried in the soil is more than one meter, and it is still The house-building technology used in the tribe is used, and it can be said to be very strong.

The wood has also been polished repeatedly. The wood chosen is wear-resistant. After peeling off the bark, the front end was burned to make it round, and then the charred part was polished off. Now there is another layer of stone on top. Oil.

Normally, he would not be willing to use more of this oil when cooking, but now it is used here, but Song Xuan still thinks it is worth it. Being able to make better pottery has only advantages and no disadvantages for Teng She.

The two carefully aligned the wheel and put it on. Song Xuan grabbed the edge and turned it, and the wheel started spinning. Although it was not particularly fast, there was no problem in decorating ordinary pottery.

However, this kind of pottery wheel also has a disadvantage, that is, after the turning hand stops, the speed drops very quickly, especially if there is something on it, or it will slow down after a few turns. If you want to maintain a good speed, you basically have to Keep pushing.

In this way, it would be a bit difficult for one person to use it, but fortunately, the tribe now has enough manpower, and the stone pottery and stone porcelain that I learned from Shitou before can also help. Although it is more appropriate to leave this kind of thing to the prisoners. , but when it comes to tribal secrets, you can only do it yourself.

As for using a more complex structure to make it easier to maintain high-speed rotation, Song Xuan didn't know how to do it. He modified it and made it driven by gears. Just one person could turn the gears aside, which would not affect the process of making pottery blanks. People, speed is also easier to control.

But this kind of thing is still too complicated for the current Soaring Snake, and we can only wait until the tools become better in the future. But this kind of thing is enough for now, and it is more than enough to make things in the tribe.

On the day when the roulette wheel was burned, Song Xuan also decided to soak all the remaining seeds one after another. The small buds of the rice in the field were already three fingers high above the ground, and they had basically grown out, which shows that this is the case. The solution is still feasible.

As long as it can grow, it means that the seeds are not wasted, and the rest will be relatively simple. The environment created for them in the tribe is better than that in the wild. All they need to do is grow happily in the fields. .

However, only Song Xuan's two pieces of clothing in the tribe could remain breathable during sprouting. The speed was relatively slow at first, and they could only get one or two kilograms at a time.

But Song Xuan later came up with a new idea. It was not impossible to use animal skins. He could spread the animal skins on the ground and then spread the seeds on top. As for covering the ground, he could not use animal skins. Thatch around the tribe was fine. , sprinkling water can also maintain humidity.

After four or five days, the seeds can still germinate.

After three rounds of germination, all the seeds were finally put into the ground. Of course, the first two rounds were relatively small, only two or three kilograms, and they were basically the last batch.

So Song Xuan thought that the seedlings grown from the first two batches of seeds could be planted together. There were not many of them anyway. Even if they were just for everyone to practice, because no one in the tribe, including Song Xuan, had planted them. experienced.

If you don't think about it carefully, you may not be able to plant it well.

As the seedlings began to grow, Song Xuan planted a bowl and a half of seeds collected by Shi Meng last year. Most things were not as water-starved as rice, so he dug another piece of land on the side.

Song Xuan didn't know what could grow out of it, so he could only hope that there would be something useful inside.

After eating meat for more than half a year, although Song Xuan has adapted to it, he still misses the taste of cooking. Now Song Xuan is looking for wild vegetables near the tribe.

In the past, I had never touched Yang Chun Shui, and I didn't cook often, let alone know these wild vegetables, so I came here with a cover up. No matter what he did, if he looked like him, I would take him back to the tribe first.

After digging it back, let the animals in the tribe eat it first to make sure it is not poisonous. After seeing that there is nothing wrong with them, Song Xuan will boil it with water and taste it.

But it's a pity that most of them are inedible. Each one will taste bitter to the tongue. There are only two or three kinds that can be eaten. Of course, the taste is not very good.

Song Xuan didn't know whether they were vegetables or not. Anyway, he knew they were edible, so he put some in when making soup. At least they looked good. Occasionally eating a vegetable leaf would relieve the tiredness, at least. It doesn't help digestion.

After trying it all, Song Xuan almost ate all the weeds around the tribe, and gave up when he saw that there were no new varieties.

However, although there are no more wild vegetables, the mushrooms in the forest have also begun to grow intensively. Although Song Xuan doesn't know much about them, the people in Teng She still have a lot of knowledge about them.

Basically, they all know what can and cannot be eaten, and when picking with Song Xuan, they can also remind Song Xuan what cannot be picked.

Red umbrella, white pole, we lay down together after eating.

There is a similar proverb here in Teng She, which means that you can’t eat anything that looks good, and you will see the gods after eating it. Although people here take life and death relatively lightly, eating mushrooms and dying after eating them is obviously not something that ordinary people can easily accept. .

When Song Xuan came, it was no longer the time for mushrooms to grow, so he never knew that Teng She also knew that these mushrooms were edible. The first time he saw everyone picking mushrooms back, he almost lost his life.

"Why don't you dry it and keep it for later eating?"

"Dried in the sun, it's just like wood, inedible at all!" Shi Yong said angrily from the side.

"Who said that? This kind, this kind, and this kind, dried ones taste better than fresh ones!"

Song Xuan pointed to the shiitake mushrooms and several types of mushrooms that were often used to stew soup in later generations.

"Angel, is this true?"

Seeing that they still didn't believe it, Song Xuan said:

"You will know after you show some of it!"

"It would be great if you can eat it. Every year there are so many that we can't finish, and the rest is wasted!"

Shi Meng said with some regret.

Indeed, there is only a short window of time for mushrooms to mature each year. If they are not preserved, they will no longer be eaten after the time has passed.

Teng She is surrounded by mountains and forests, and there are countless fungi in them. If they are collected and dried, they can be eaten all year round. Even if the others are a little worse, they can be cooked in soup. It's definitely more delicious than just boiled meat.

Since the divine envoy said it could be eaten, it must be edible. This was the unanimous thought of everyone in Teng She, so everyone quickly took action and picked a lot of them and put them in the open space to dry. They couldn't finish them anyway, so they got them first. Let’s talk about it later.
