Lulu was indeed an expert at making pottery. After just two days, she got what Yang Cheng wanted.
Next to a well in the Qingque tribe, this well was specially ordered by Yang Cheng. In the past few days, the well mouth has been covered with stone slabs. This is to prevent the well from being exposed to the sun and make the water in the well cold. .
Yang Cheng and a group of beast-eared women stood here, next to them were placed five pottery pots that had just been fired. These pottery pots were arranged from small to large.
Each pottery looks almost the same.
It is still biting the glaze, reflecting the dark light under the sunlight.
Yan Lin asked curiously: "Wu, what are you going to do?"
In the past two days, several other beast-eared girls, like the fanatical Qingque tribe members, were looking for the thing called saltpeter that Yang Cheng mentioned.
But as Yang Cheng said, the thing called saltpeter is difficult to find near the Qingque tribe.
And the beast-eared girls are all impatient, well... This is mainly because Yanlin and Xing, a tiger-eared girl and a rhinoceros-horned girl played a bad leading role.
Even Ying and Tao, the two bunny-eared girls, were impetuous and playful. Only Xia and Lulu were more stable.
So early this morning, I saw Yang Cheng and Lulu carrying five clay pots to a well in the Qingque tribe, and they watched the excitement coming over.
Yang Cheng said truthfully: "Come and make ice."
"To make ice?"
The surprised voices of several beast-eared girls rang out in unison.
Xing's eyes widened: "Wu, what did you say? Making ice? Wu, did you find that thing called... saltpeter?"
Yang Cheng shook his head: "No."
Hearing this, Xing immediately wondered: "No? Wu, no, then how do you make ice?"
"Use this."
Yang Cheng smiled and pointed to several clay pots nearby.
With that said, Yang Cheng didn't give Xing another chance to ask, and said directly: "Okay, since you guys are here, help do something. Go and set up the fire."
"oh."
Yan Lin and Xing went to get firewood and set up a fire nearby.
Yang Cheng asked Lulu to fetch some water from the well and fill the smallest clay pot with water.
After the water was filled, Yan Lin and Xing also set up the fire.
The rest of the matter was relatively simple. Yang Cheng placed the clay pot filled with water on the set fire and started burning it.
After a while.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
Bubbles emerge on the surface of the water.
Yang Cheng dipped his finger into the water a little, and immediately retracted it the next second. It was because he was burned.
"Well, the water is ready."
Yang Cheng nodded and asked Yan Lin and Xing to wrap their hands in animal skins and take the hot pottery pot off the fire.
Then he directed Lulu to quickly wrap the small mouth of the pottery pot with ramie cloth several times and seal it.
Finally, it is placed in a bamboo bucket tied with a windlass on the well.
Roll the wheel and slowly lower the bamboo bucket until the inside of the bamboo bucket is filled with well water, leaving only one mouth of the clay pot outside, and the whole body of the clay pot is filled with cold well water.
Originally, according to the ancient method of "making ice in summer", the clay pot filled with hot water had to be completely sunk into a deep well, causing the temperature in the bottle to drop sharply. However, ramie cloth is not waterproof, and the things in the Qingque tribe that are waterproof are not. There are few of them that are suitable for blocking the small mouth of a clay pot, so Yang Cheng can only compromise and give it a try.
After tying the rope on the windlass, Yang Cheng asked Yan Lin and Xing to replace the manhole cover and wait three days to see the situation again.
In addition to this well, Yang Cheng went to four other wells and followed the same pattern.
Put the hot clay pot into the well water, then cover the well cover and wait three days before looking again.
These wells are hardly used in the summer anyway.
There is sufficient water in the river in summer, and the river has been transformed by Yang Cheng and flows through the Qingque tribe, so there is no need to worry about water problems.
*****
Just when Yang Cheng was trying to make ice cubes in the tribe.
Stone tribe.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Pa bang bang..."
Stones hit stones, and the sounds of mining ore came and went.
Shi Di carried a bamboo tube made of bamboo and came to Chief Shi who was supervising the work.
"Chief, drink some water."
Shi Chang did not refuse, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the bamboo tube handed over by Shi Di, and drank several gulps.
After summer, the weather is getting hotter day by day.
Even though he didn't do the work himself and stood in the shade under the tree to supervise, the sweat on his forehead was still falling drop by drop.
"Ah, cool!
This method of filtering water I learned from the Qingque tribe is really good. The filtered water is so delicious. "
After drinking, Shi Chang put down the bamboo tube and praised the filtered water. Then he asked Shidi, "Shidi, have you prepared the water for the tribesmen?"
"Ready, they are all over there." Shidi pointed to the bamboo buckets held by other totem warriors behind.
Shi Chang nodded and said: "That's enough. The weather is so hot. The tribesmen need to drink more water. The meat of the ferocious beasts can be less, but the water must not be less."
After speaking, Shi Chang called to the front and asked the tribesmen to stop, drink water and take a rest before continuing to work.
The exhausted Stone Tribe people stopped immediately when they heard the shouting, came to the shade of a tree to drink water and rest, wiping their sweat away.
Shidi felt a little distressed when he saw the clan members working so hard.
"Chief, why don't you give the tribesmen some more ferocious beast meat? Look at how tired they are. Anyway, when the Qingque Tribe came over last time, we exchanged a lot of ferocious beast meat, so we can give the tribesmen some more meat..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chief Shi: "No, those ferocious beast meats are here to replenish your energy and blood. The totem warriors of our tribe, except me, have all the totems sealed by the forbidden blood. Power, the power of the totem needs to be reactivated.
What will you do if it is eaten by the tribesmen? There are no totem warriors. What if a ferocious beast attacks our tribe, or what if another evil tribe attacks?
Yes, the Qingque tribe will come to trade with us. With their protection, we are not afraid of ferocious beasts and evil tribes, but usually, they are not around and we need to protect ourselves. "
Shidi was silent for a while, his mouth moved, and he muttered: "Don't we still have so many ferocious beasts in our tribe? What's the big deal if we eat one less? Besides, the corpses of more than a dozen eighth-level ferocious beasts will become bad if we don't eat them." Already..."
Shi Chang said with a sullen face: "What are you talking about? Say it loudly!"
Shidi instantly shrank his neck: "I didn't say anything..."
Shi Chang looked at him for a long time, and finally his face softened, "Oh, okay, let's add a ferocious beast to the tribe tonight."
"Hey, leader, okay!"
Shidi jumped up immediately, and immediately told the good news to the resting tribesmen.
The tribesmen immediately cheered enthusiastically, and their fatigue seemed to be reduced a lot.
Shi Chang's sullen face couldn't help but relax a little when he saw the cheers of the tribesmen.
Just at this time,
Suddenly, a totem warrior who was on guard ran over from a distance and shouted: "Chief, someone is coming from outside the tribe."
