I am a primitive

Han Cheng let out a sigh of relief and said to himself, anyway, he has no system to force him to establish any civilization, and he has no ambition to conquer multiple primitive tribes and unify the world to become the Nine-Five Supreme. He just wants to let himself still have tribes The people inside are better off.

Speaking of which, God is not mean to me. After all, I didn’t get myself a cannibal tribe as soon as I came here. Otherwise, according to the state I just came, I don’t know which plants I entered at this time...

Hei Wa didn't take part in harvesting rapeseed, and Hei Wa didn't take part in building the fence either. It wasn't that Hei Wa was lazy, but that he had other jobs to do.

The warm sunlight is spreading on the ground, and the small river is flowing, reflecting the sunlight, making it appear sparkling.

There are fish playing in the water, and there are quite a few of them.

There is a red dragonfly hovering here, its wings cannot be seen, but it will not fall to the ground, like an airplane.

Tired of flying, it stopped on a dry stem protruding from a clump of green grass on the bank, motionless.

It's a pity that he has never seen lotus root. If he had, Han Cheng would have recited a sentence, "The little lotus just showed its sharp horns, and the dragonfly stood on its head long ago." This poem by Yang Wanli has been published for thousands of years.

This is much more powerful than the average historical traveler.

The small river is not all flat land, there are also some small hills. On the small hill closest to the tribe, there is a green smoke rising at this time, and Heiwa is busy here.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The smoke is a circular soil pillar, about 1.3 meters high, 1.2 meters in inner diameter, and 1.6 meters in outer diameter.

This hollow soil column is covered with two large pottery plates, each of which covers half of the soil column.

There are broken pieces of pottery placed under the pottery plate, so that there is a distance of about two centimeters between the pottery plate and the soil column.

The blue smoke and some flames came out from the edge of the pottery board and the gap between the two pottery boards.

Of course, this is not a beacon tower for burning wolf smoke to warn, but a kiln built by Hei Wa, a master pottery maker of the Qingque Tribe, under the guidance of Han Cheng after a series of failures.

The earthen kiln was not originally built here, but a place about 100 meters away from here, closer to the river, where it is convenient to fetch water and mud.

However, after a heavy rain last year and the river swelled, half of the kiln collapsed and could no longer be used.

Having learned the lesson from that time, Heiwa spent nearly ten days here, about 100 meters away from the river bank, rebuilding this earthen kiln, which is one size bigger than the previous one.

It is relatively far from the small river, and the terrain is high. There were several heavy rains last year, and the small river did not flood here. It is indeed a good choice to build an earthen kiln here.

After several experiments and Shenzi's instruction, Hei Wa also figured out some tricks of building an earthen kiln.

The first step is to dig out a pit about [-] centimeters deep, [-] meter long and [-] centimeters wide at the place where the kiln will be built.

Then, in the middle of the pit, a wall about half a meter high was built with the previously made adobe mixed with reconciled mud. Then, on the wall, three slender and tall walls were erected every ten centimeters. Hard wooden sticks, the other end of the sticks, were placed on the edge of the pit.

The previous kiln was small, so there was no need to add this wall, just put the wooden sticks on both sides of the pit. Now the kiln is bigger, if the wall in the middle is not added, the wooden sticks will not be able to bear it in time weight.

Don't worry about these sticks being burned by the flame, because the outside of these sticks will be covered with a thick layer of clay.

Every three sticks form a group, and they are wrapped in mud after being put together. There is a reason why three sticks are used. First, it can increase the bearing capacity, and second, it can wrap more mud outside. If there is only one It's really not easy to coat it with mud.

After these are done, it will continue to build the wall.

After the wall of the pit is flush with the ground, follow the front row and continue to place the sticks covered with a thick layer of clay on the top, which is more densely placed than the bottom layer, because this On the upper layer, when the time comes, the mud embryos that need to be fired must be placed, and it will not work unless the construction is strong.

After these are done, the bottom of the whole kiln is built, and the rest is to build the wall of the kiln with mud.

Just like the rammed walls in the tribe, there are also crushed hay and some salt. According to the experience gained from the fact that the walls of the earthen kiln built before are easy to crack, in addition to these, Heiwa also added Some sand from a canister downriver.

The banks of this small river are mostly muddy, and only the side where the water is shallow at the turn has sand accumulations.

One thing that needs to be deliberately mentioned is the matter of building a wall and adding salt to it.

This move was too costly. After some thinking, Han Cheng changed his approach.

It's not that you don't put salt in the mud anymore, but that you don't put purified salt anymore.

The salt mine brought back from the salt mountain was directly smashed and added to the mud, which saved a lot of effort.

The reconciled mud was built round and round. In order to ensure that the kiln was round, Heiwa also used two wooden sticks for comparison. One stick was 1.2 meters long and the other was 1.6 meters long.

This method was taught by Shenzi before. At the beginning, the pottery kneaded by hand was always not round enough. After Shenzi taught this method, this problem that troubled Heiwa for a long time was immediately solved.

It was later used by him in the construction of the kiln wall.

For Hei Wa, building a kiln wall actually has many similarities with building a pottery pot, which is hard for him who likes to work with mud.

Because the kiln wall is built purely with mud, and the reconciled mud is relatively soft, so every time a height of [-] centimeters is built on the top, a fire needs to be lit below to bake the kiln wall stronger. , and then go up to increase.

The earthen kiln was emitting green smoke, and before approaching it, one could feel a wave of heat rushing towards one's face.

About ten meters away from the kiln, there are a few large stones with a relatively flat surface, and Hei Wa, who is muddy in both hands, is busy here.

He conveniently squeezed out some finely divided dry soil from the clay pot below and evenly sprinkled it on the stone in front of him, and then placed a wooden frame with a thickness of about half a centimeter on it.

The wooden frame is made of tree sticks that are broken from the middle and have a certain degree of flexibility, and the joints are tied with rope grass.

The flat side of the broken wooden stick faces inward, and the curved side faces outward, this is to ensure that the edge of the pottery is flat.

The wooden frame is not a standard rectangle, but an isosceles trapezoid with a large end and a small end. The gap between the upper and lower bases is one and a half centimeters, so that the tiles produced in this way can be seamlessly connected.

It was not like this at the beginning, but a standard rectangle.

After overcoming the curvature problem of the tiles with the help of Shenzi, Heiwa finally fired the first batch of tiles.

Heiwa was very happy to see the first batch of things called tiles by Shenzi, because Shenzi said that with these things, a house better than the deer pen can be built. in the house.

Although he didn't know why Shenzi wanted to move out of the cave, just by looking at Shenzi's longing expression when he said this, Hei Wa knew that this house must be more comfortable than the cave they lived in for generations.

In addition to the reason of the house, there is another reason why he is happy, that is, he has completed the task that the Son of God told him, and the Son of God looked at the tiles he had fired with a look of joy on his face.

This is undoubtedly the best compliment to her craftsmanship, Hei Wa is of course happy.

But his joy didn't last too long, because after holding two tiles together for a while, Shenzi suddenly put the tiles down, smiled wryly and patted his forehead with his hands.

This made him worry whether it was because of his poor firing that caused Shenzi's displeasure.

Naturally, Heiwa's craftsmanship is not to be said. Although it is the first time to fire tiles, but with the experience of firing a lot of pottery before, the tiles were fired very successfully. Almost less in comparison.

Of course, this should ignore the shortcoming that the size of both ends of the burned tiles are the same.

The size of both ends of the tiles is the same, which means that after the two tiles are superimposed, there will be gaps. Using such tiles to lay the roof is prone to rain leakage.

After a while of rectification, the mold used to make tiles became what it is now.
