Chapter 919

In this era of material and its scarcity, it is already a luxury to have a full meal, let alone improve the handling of food.

But didn't you kill a fat sheep named Lieshan now?

Naturally, it can make the ethnic people live more relaxed.

These people have enough food reserves for three disaster years to carry the spring with the worst harvest and the thinnest animals.

When the rabbit family sows the grain of the first season, spring and autumn come, and there is a harvest in the field, their ferocious clan will live in a good life.

The days ahead can only be better and better, and what's wrong with Gu Zheng making things that enrich people's material life in advance?

What's more, he has asked at the celebration rally.

Pottery is an important material that can be bartered.

A strong pottery pot and a strong pottery pot are enough to exchange nearly 100 kilograms of grain, nearly 10 pieces of fur, or a meat prey with dozens of kilograms for the tribe.

Is it not because the pottery making is a unique skill that Dow can't pass on in exchange for so many materials?

The product of the imbalance between supply and demand?

He Gu zhengruo didn't take advantage of this opportunity to make more capital for Youshi. When the pottery technology was popularized, he was afraid it would be too late.

Gu Zheng, who said he would do it, immediately divided the earth excavation team into two. Two of the four people who were separated independently dug the clay in the center of the stone mine for him.

The remaining two men followed him to the edge of the brickyard, under the naturally formed small soil slopes, and began to dig tunnels according to Gu Zheng's instructions.

Yes, this is also a small tunnel pit dug from bottom to top.

It rises slowly with a slope of about 15 degrees.

The most peculiar thing is that the tunnel is not completely hollow. Instead, the soil column in the middle is preserved and the two sides of the whole channel are excavated into a circular hollow.

Then, when their dug arms bent and could reach the top of the small slope, Gu Zheng asked them to shovel the top end of the middle mud column... Into a platform.

It's like a hollow altar, but a natural earth slope is shrouded outside.

When the people were wondering about this tiny and strange cave, they saw their priests holding a stone awl. After repeatedly testing the position, they tried to poke several holes at the top of it.

All at once, the hollowed out soil slope is connected up and down.

Then, the priest of their family sawed the whole earth bag with the sharpest stone shovel, carefully put the earth shell aside, and the inner ring platform was exposed in front of the people.

Everyone looked at the dignified face of their priest and began to whisper: "are you thanking God?"

"It should be. It's the protection of ferocious animals that we can arrive here smoothly."

But Gu Zheng, who heard this, couldn't help picking his eyebrows.

Awesome beast, obviously your priest is a good man.

Forget it, everyone is drunk, and it's good for me to wake up alone. Let's be the hero behind this.

Gu Zheng, who turned around and left the ferocious beast behind, began to make pottery after he was busy digging the pottery kiln.

Because it was in the trial stage, the production process of pottery on the science and technology tree was written in enough detail. Gu Zheng did not hesitate to try from the simplest pottery plate.

His technique is the simplest mud bar pan construction method.

As the name suggests, it is to knead the mud blank into mud strips, spiral up from the bottom to the edge of the mouth, and smooth it inside and outside with hands and wooden pats.

Naturally, the plate is the simplest one. It is tiled into a disc shape, slightly stroked a certain radian when troweling, and then wound a circle of short and thick mud strips at the bottom of the plate. The prototype of the flat plate is even completed.

The next process is the most critical step in the pottery making process.

Calcination.

Gu Zheng's control of flame temperature during the iron making period played a key role in this step.

In order to shape pottery, a flame temperature of 800-1000 degrees is essential.

When Gu Zheng put these plates containing the beauty of coarseness and madness in the middle of the ring table and buckled the earth bag shell with holes towards the top, he began the final process of sealing the cellar.

Use the yellow mud to smooth the circle around the pit mouth to prevent the hot air from passing through the corners. After completing all the steps, Gu Zheng turned his head to the direction of the fire mouth under the earth slope.

"Fire, firewood can't stop! Fire!"

Gu Zheng roared in time, and the fire rose quickly.

The bright red flame suddenly extended into the earth kiln along the fire path, so that the surrounding temperature also increased slowly.

"After the fire burns through, seal the flame, seal the ignition port with yellow mud and seal it hot."

"Looking at the temperature, I'm afraid I'll know tomorrow."

Standing behind the pottery kiln, Gu Zheng commanded the people and looked at the fruits of his hard day's work. That energy was too high.

But this momentum did not last long. It was extinguished in the middle of the night with the return of the clan sent by ferocious to investigate in four directions and the bad news they brought back.

Spies returning from the eastern seas and western mountains mostly bring good news.

Because the hinterland of the mountains is the most familiar environment for ferocious clan people. How to produce and whether the prey is fierce can be roughly calculated by a little exploration.

Looking only at the carts of meat dragged back by the seven brothers of the ferocious family, Gu Zheng also knows that in the future, the meat intake of the ethnic people will depend on the mountains on the west side.

The people who were already afraid and unfamiliar with the sea simply collected edible species along the coast of the East China Sea and observed the weather on the beach.

The people who brought back the bad news were naturally the people who fled to the north.

If Gu Zheng hadn't asked them to take the horses out together when he sent them out, I'm afraid none of the team in the North could survive.

For no other reason, I met the northern barbarians.

In the vast prairie, if we talk about products, it is naturally single and scarce, but if we talk about the herd that is good at running, it is really a lot.

The people in charge of Beicha, however, just went deep into the grassland and found a small group of herbivorous people with mild character. They thought of the priest's command to search for species, and began to try to track and capture these small animals, trying to take them back to the clan and show them to the priest to see if they can be domesticated.

PS: the starting point has organized a team activity. Let's add my angel city. It's OK to rank 66th. I don't know what tomorrow will be like. If there are more people, I'll be at three o'clock every day next week, OK?
