Under a giant tree next to the cave where the tribe lives, the atmosphere is now a bit solemn.
Ning had a straight face and her eyes were staring at Yan, who had a flattering smile on his face. On one side, several younger brothers and sisters were gathering together, laughing and watching the fun.
"Then please tell me carefully how you can order your mother and younger siblings to work hard with peace of mind, while you cross your arms and joke."
Ning naturally knew his eldest son's character and abilities. Since he said this, there must be some truth to it. But even though I understood in my heart, I still felt angry when I saw his playful smile.
"Uh~" Yan's expression froze, he glanced at his mother and several younger siblings, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he said seriously: "These are just my expectations and assumptions now, but they are hard to describe. Mouth, but I will never harm you."
Seeing that Yan was serious, Ning paid more attention to him, looked at him deeply, and finally snorted coldly and shouted to Yu Hesong who was watching the excitement: "What are you still looking at? Why don't you hurry up and do it" Live."
Seeing that his mother did not ask further questions, Yan let out a sigh of relief. He actually didn't know whether his idea would succeed, but now that he had started planning, he had to be more cautious.
After all, in the prehistoric world, the laws of nature are constant, and there are countless gods, men, and powerful people. As a mere mortal, some plans based on the memories of later generations might be used as dowries for others after exporting them.
After all the materials were almost ready, Yan stood up and said to Shan: "Shan, the soil is almost ready. Come over and start building the stove."
Shan now has a clear understanding and self-awareness. Today, his eldest brother will not do anything. I am afraid that he will have to do all the work here by himself.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Shan asked very consciously as he walked to Yan's side.
"You do this, first lay a layer of stones on the ground, make it as smooth as possible, and stick it together with good clay in the middle, and then on top..." Yan explained to Shan with a steady face, seeming very confident.
But in fact, Yan himself had never built a stove. Later generations basically used gas stoves. Fortunately, he had seen wood-burning earth stoves in the countryside when he was a child, and the basic structure was still clear.
Although Yan has the knowledge of later generations, he has never done it himself. He knows it but does not know why. Under the command of such an unqualified chief designer, coupled with the irregularity of the stone, it is conceivable that this earth stove The construction will definitely not be smooth sailing.
However, although it experienced many twists and turns along the way, an earth stove does not have a complicated structure after all. By the time the sun reaches its peak, its general shape is finally basically completed.
The entire stove forms an ellipse on the outside, with only a stove chamber with a diameter of about one meter. There is no ash leakage hole or smoke exhaust chimney. The structure is extremely simple.
Although this stove is very simple, as the first regular stove in the prehistoric world, Yan is still very satisfied with it.
"Shan, apply clay to the entire inside of the stove and it should be almost done." Yan looked around the stove and ordered Shan while nodding.
"You've been busy all morning and you just made something like this? What's the use of it?" Ning heard that it was about to be finished. After looking around, she still said a little confused.
After Ning and the others finished transporting the stones, they kept watching her second son at work. Originally, she wanted to help Shan, but Yan didn't let them help, so she could only watch from the side.
Yan Mozhi smiled profoundly, shook his head and said: "Wait a while, you will know." After saying that, he waved to his second sister Yu.
"Yu! Come on, let's build a cauldron."
Now that the stove is set up, a matching large pot is naturally needed.
Although Yan couldn't make an iron pot, he could barely cut stone like mud by using the extremely sharp stone tools in the tribe that had been blessed by the clan leader and with his own huge strength.
Therefore, it would not be too difficult for him to make a suitable stone pot, nor would it waste too much time.
He took Yu to the place where the tribe stacked stones, and selected a hard stone with a diameter of more than one meter. He cut the stone quickly with the stone knife in his hand, not forgetting to teach Yu.
"The function of the pot is to facilitate the cooking of food. Unlike what we use to bake directly over an open fire now, the pot can be used to cook, boil, fry, fry, stir-fry and other methods to cook food with different flavors."
"The pot I'm making now has an arc-shaped bottom to increase the fire area of the pot so that it can be heated faster and more evenly."
"When cooking food for the tribe in the future, you can also consider other shapes of pots according to the amount of ingredients and the needs of the cooking techniques."
…
Yanzui talked to Yu casually, but the movement of his hand did not slow down at all. In just a moment, a stone pot with a diameter of about one meter appeared in his hand.
Standing up, he took a ball of water out of thin air and quickly cleaned the stone pot. He patted his slightly confused sister beside him and said, "I will leave all the food preparation to you in the future. Therefore, all kinds of different pots and pans You have to figure out its production and functional characteristics yourself.”
"Brother, I...I don't quite understand." Yu looked at his elder brother at a loss and stammered with his eyes averted.
"It's okay. Your task now is to learn how to make and process animal offal first. As long as you have this awareness and awareness of other things, you can think about it slowly later, don't be in a hurry." Yan reached out and rubbed his sister's somewhat disheveled hair, smiling. comforted.
When he returned to the stove, Shan had finished all the follow-up work. Yan Qingqing put the newly baked stone pot on the stove and tried it. It was neither too big nor too small, and it just fit.
Yan nodded with satisfaction, took off the stone pot, turned to Shan and said, "Go and get some hay to dry out the moisture in the stove."
Seeing that the labor that had been busy all morning was about to bear fruit, Shan's enthusiasm was extremely high. After hearing Yan's instructions, he moved quickly, and in just a moment he piled a small pile of hay in the stove.
"I want to make a fire!" Shanbo slowly stretched the torch into the stove and watched the withered grass being ignited. His childish face covered with mud was filled with joy and excitement. Under the reflection of the stove fire, it turned red.
Yan looked at Shan who was busy around the stove with a smile, and opened his eyes in anticipation. Unfortunately, he did not see anything strange until the moment the flames rose in the stove.
Although no visionary merits were produced, Yan was not too disappointed. After all, merits are not so easy to come by. The right time, place, and people are indispensable.
However, although he did not gain any merit, through his spiritual sense, Yan still vaguely felt that the luck on the mountain had increased, and this increase seemed to be continuous. However, this continuous change was very subtle and could not be detected without careful perception. .
Such a continuous and subtle increase in luck was basically expected by Yan. After all, the emergence of stoves would greatly improve and facilitate the lives of human tribes.
It can be predicted that Shan, as the actual operator of the stove construction and the first person to light the stove fire, will grow with the growth of the tribe or the promotion and spread of stoves to the entire human race. In the future, he will receive more and more luck blessings from the human race, and his own luck will continue to improve as a result.
Of course, Yan, as the driving force behind all this, cannot be compared with the mountain standing in front of the stage, but he can still share some of the benefits and add foundation to his own path.
