Yang Cheng did not scold him, but let everyone play.
Anyway, he just took a look and found that there are more than 200 trees cut down, which is enough for the time being. The next step is to clear the route and dig the foundation.
Yang Cheng walked along the planned route again. Except for a few small trees, there was grassland. He felt that it was almost done and the foundation could be dug.
When returning to the clearing.
The original two horseshoes have turned into six horseshoes, and there are no longer just totem warriors but also five beast-eared girls. Even some tribesmen came to play in the excitement.
At this time, a group of people each took the wooden wheels in their hands and threw them at the wooden pier in the distance, trying to see who could throw it accurately.
"Ahem."
Yang Cheng coughed twice softly.
This cough seemed to have some magic power. The tribesmen who heard it were like students secretly playing around in self-study class. They heard the footsteps of the homeroom teacher outside the window.
Suddenly, everyone who was playing around became as obedient as they could be and did not dare to play anymore.
"Okay, from now on everyone can play after dinner in the evening, but not during the day."
Yang Cheng announced a decision, and then asked people to take away these wooden pillars and the wooden wheels in everyone's hands, leaving only the totem warriors and letting the others disperse to do whatever they were supposed to do.
After the others left, Yang Cheng came to Yan Hu.
"Fire Tiger."
As soon as Yang Cheng shouted, Yan Hu showed a ashamed expression, "Wu, I will never dare to do it again..."
Yanhu thought Yang Cheng was going to scold him for taking his clan members to play instead of doing serious business.
Seeing that the two-meter-tall strong man looked like a child who made a mistake in front of him, Yang Cheng felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't expose it.
"It's good that you know." Yang Cheng looked serious, nodded, and said: "Now that the trees have been chopped down, let's stop temporarily and leave two people to chop off all the branches and leaves on these trees. Keep the trunk and the others will come with me.”
"Yes, Wu!"
Yanhu responded and asked Changguo and Dashi to stay and chop off the branches and leaves on the tree. The others followed Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng led them to the place where they planned to dig. He had already marked it just now.
"You should clean up everything on this route first. Cut down all the trees, clean up the weeds, and leave no big or small rocks behind. Throw them all aside."
Under Yang Cheng's verbal command, Yan Hu and other totem warriors started to move.
By evening, three 1,400-meter routes to be excavated had been cleared.
The next day, the pottery embryo was still burning.
Yang Cheng then ordered the tribesmen to dig the foundation. The totem warriors dug, and the other tribesmen who had nothing to do began to transport the excavated soil aside.
Although the tools of primitive society were somewhat crude, the most they used were vines to tie stones to wooden sticks to make a simple digging tool.
But if you want to dig deep, it doesn't take any effort for the totem warriors who are physically stronger than ordinary people.
One shovel goes in, which is one or twenty centimeters. Two or three shovels go in, and with a little more force, half a meter of depth comes out.
And Yang Cheng made it easier for the totem warriors to dig. He also asked people to take buckets of water from the water pipes and pour it on the route to be dug, so as to moisten the soil in advance so that they could start digging. Digging is easier.
However, even if the totem warriors come to dig, there are only less than ten people, so it will take some time to excavate the 1,400-meter foundation.
Yang Cheng was not in a hurry, his mind turned to pottery making again.
These days, the entire Qingque tribe is very busy. The totem warriors and some tribesmen are digging the foundation. In addition to making two nets, others have started playing with mud and making pottery embryos.
After all, when the first batch of pottery was fired, Yang Cheng didn't know how much he would lose.
And even if more than sixty were fired successfully, the pottery would not be enough for the tribe to use. It would be better to make a new batch of pottery embryos while firing them.
These days, unlike the previous days of concentration, Yan Lin, Xing, and even Lulu glanced at the haystack sealed by mud while making pottery embryos, appearing very absent-minded.
Yang Cheng was very calm at first, but he was soon affected by them. From time to time, he turned his head and took a look. Sometimes he would lie on the ground and look through the small hole to see if the fire inside was extinguished.
It is now the third day since the pottery embryo was put into the mud pit and fired.
I heard from Yang Cheng that today we can open the mound of earth to see if the pottery inside is ready.
Yang Cheng was a little excited in his heart. This was the first time he had fired pottery, and he was making history. Moreover, he had already spoken out his big words. If the pottery was not fired successfully, what would happen in front of everyone? Awkward?
When he saw Yang Cheng coming over and seeing a few absent-minded beast-eared girls playing with mud and making pottery embryos next to the mound, their eyes lit up.
On the other side, far away from the excavation of the foundation, Mu Qing and other tribesmen and totem warriors noticed the movement here and stood on tiptoe to look over.
"Wu, are you here?"
"Witch, can this mound be demolished?"
Yang Cheng asked everyone to be quiet first, then reached out and touched the dried mud outside to feel the temperature.
The temperature is quite high, a bit hot to the touch.
Then I lay down on the ground and looked inside through the small hole. It was dark red inside.
This shows that the fire has not burned out yet.
Yang Cheng stood up and frowned slightly.
The fire burned so slowly that it was a bit beyond his plan.
After watching Yang Cheng observe for a while and then stand there thinking, Yan Lin and Xing couldn't bear it anymore. They stepped forward and grabbed Yang Cheng's arm, begging helplessly:
"Wu, why don't we take it apart and take a look?"
The other beast-eared girls also looked at Yang Cheng with expectant eyes. They all couldn't wait to see if the pottery they made by themselves was fired properly.
"hold on."
Yang Cheng also had the urge to dig up this pile of dirt, but in the end his reason prevailed. He glanced at the expectant crowd and slowly shook his head.
"How long will it take to wait?" Yan Lin asked anxiously.
Yang Cheng looked at the sun. It had just risen and was as big as a millstone.
"Wait until the sun reaches the middle position and then turn it on after lunch."
Even if the fire in the dirt pile burns out, it still needs to cool down. Autumn has just begun, the sun is not too strong in the morning, and the air is still slightly cool. The temperature in the haystack under the dirt is not necessarily higher than the temperature outside. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is too great, so it is not suitable to open the furnace.
Hearing this, Yan Lin pouted unhappily, not daring to argue any further.
The anxious hearts of others calmed down a little. Since the furnace can be turned on at noon, they should wait until noon.
