Orc Horde Upgrade System

Soon, Xuan led him to a small stream, Meng Yuqing knelt down and squeezed the nearby soil, looked up at Xuan and nodded.

"Not bad, just use this to try."

After finishing speaking, he dug a large lump of mud and stuffed it into the space in front of Xuan, and Xuan was no stranger to it.

Seeing Meng Yuqing keeping his head down and busy collecting mud, a trace of struggle flashed across Xuan's face, and finally he squatted down to dig mud together as if he had made up his mind.

In order to avoid wasting time due to the failure of her own production, Meng Yuqing plans to dig more and build several small pottery kilns at once, and see which one is successful and which one to use.

The two squatted by the stream and dug for two full hours, until Meng Yuqing felt that he could build five small pottery kilns before asking Xuan to stop.

Without wasting much time, the two immediately returned to the open space in front of Meng Yuqing's house, found a corner and took the mud out of the space.

While talking to Gen about how to make it, he kneaded the mud with his hands.

Meng Yuqing was very happy during the whole process of making mud. When he was young, his mother would always pull his ears when he played with mud. When he grew up, he was too shy to play with mud. This time, he finally found a reason to play openly. The whole person was very excited.

First, a hole half a meter wide and half a meter deep was dug on the ground, and then a grate was made with the differentiated clay to support the hole.

Then the dug pit was built layer by layer with soil to form a cylinder with a height of 70 cm and a hollow in the middle with a diameter of 40 cm. The grate and the deep pit can be seen from top to bottom.The wall thickness is about 15 cm.

On the whole, it looks more like a small kiln than an earthen stove. You can cook vegetables with a pot.

"Then what do we need to do?" Looking at the finished things in front of him, Xuan still hadn't understood what Meng Yuqing wanted to do.

"Lighten a fire in the pit and bake it until it dries up." Meng Yuqing looked around and made sure there was nothing missing, and let Xuan light the fire.

After finishing here, Meng Yuqing thought that he could use clay to pinch the embryos of clay pots and bowls first, and when the kiln was finished, the embryos could be put in and fired.

To be honest, both of them are not very artistic people, and the things they make can only be said to be practical, but they are not very attractive.

After pinching some pots and pans, the two finally stopped. Xuan looked at the pinched things and asked Meng Yuqing with some doubts, "Can't these things be made of stones?"

As he spoke, he shook his hand lightly, shaking off the mud on his hand.

"You don't understand, you will understand when you make it and use it." Meng Yuqing shook her head pretending to be profound.

The pinched utensils should be placed next to the fire pit to be dried by the fire and then burned. This process cannot be rushed, and the rest is basically waiting for time.

Just after finishing everything, Meng Yuqing didn't know what to do for a while, this place must not be separated from people, and firewood must be added to the pit to ensure that the fire will not go out.

When the two of them stared at each other, he suddenly remembered the method of making utensils with plant ash instead of clay that he had seen before. At that time, he did not choose to exchange it to prepare for his own research due to lack of energy. Isn’t it the right time now?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became interested.

"Xuan, let's make another fire, and it was born on flat ground. I remembered something again."

As he said that, Lima picked up Xuan and started to pile up wood piles on the side of the open space. Xuan followed behind him obediently, and he did whatever he said.

Soon a new fire was raised, and this time fuel such as bark, leaves, and grass was added to it. After burning, basically there would be no lumps, and all of them would be turned into ashes.

After the fire was extinguished and cooled down, Meng Yuqing picked up the ashes.

"Xuan, scoop up some water."

Hearing his words, Xuan immediately turned around and scooped up a large basin of water with a stone basin, and poured the water into the sharp pile of plant ash under Meng Yuqing's command.

Meng Yuqing carefully controlled the amount of water poured, and stopped immediately when she was sure it was turning into mud.

Xuan put down the stone basin in his hand, hesitated for a while, then squatted down and Meng Yuqing started making pots and pans by hand again.

Because plant ash is relatively easy to obtain, they made relatively more this time. They did it for a long time, and when they came back to their senses, it was already afternoon.

It is still spring and the temperature is not hot. Even with the help of fire, these things cannot be made in a day.

Arranging things one by one on the open space, Meng Yuqing looked at today's masterpiece, but I was so overwhelmed that I got on my hips!

It took three full days for the juvenile orcs to compete before finally deciding on ten people, and Dan narrowly snatched the final spot.

Now there are a total of twelve underage orcs plus Lie and Mu who have followed out.

Among them, Dong and Dan are the youngest, but after this competition, many people saw that their strength is not lost to the older orcs.

As for Lie and Mu, they were able to fight with adult orcs in the previous attack, and survived the siege of other adult orcs. Mu even blinded one of the other orcs' eyes, and Lie was surrounded by him alone and returned to the other party several times. The orc left a wound, and his strength has long been recognized.

After careful calculation, I found that there was only one 16-year-old orc besides Lie and Mu, and the rest were all 17-year-old orcs who were about to become adults.

The lynx orc Ya that Xuan mentioned before won the quota without any surprise. To be precise, as long as he participates, there must be a quota based on his strength.

Except for these few people, the strength of most orcs before they reached the age of majority is still based on their age.

Except for the bug Xuan, the people who can play with him are not simple people.

On the ninth day, Lie's injury was almost healed, Meng Yuqing decided to make up for Qian Lie and Mu's barbecue before departure, and was going to call Dan and Dong.

He asked Xuan to make a relatively thin and flat stone slab, and temporarily piled up a stone stove on the open space in front of his house.

Some of the utensils made in the past two days are ready to be put into use, but most of them have not been finished yet. The larger utensils made of plant ash have not yet dried out, and only two small bowls can be put into use.

Only two small bowls that Meng Yuqing threw into the fire and two pots that were fired in the small kiln were completed, and the others were still waiting in line for firing.

The plant ash container is the same as the information found before, and the water will slowly seep out. Meng Yuqing has done experiments, and the plant ash jar full of water will seep out half of the water after being left for a day, but it is completely fine to form other solids.

Mu Helie was amazed at the temporary stone stove this time. The stove in Meng Yuqing's house was made by them and Xuan according to Meng Yuqing's request, but they had never seen Meng Yuqing use it. It is only required to make it look good, but it is actually useless.

Unexpectedly, a temporary pile of stone stoves would be used first.

Xuan and Mu went out to hunt another sharp-toothed beast and came back. The one given by Ronglin had already been eaten. After all, orcs are really good at eating. Xuan Jiaxia, even if it was only in human form, would only eat it in three days. Finished with a sharp-toothed beast twice the size of a wild boar.

This time, five orcs worked together on the Leah beast. They quickly processed the meat and cut it into half-finger thick cuts according to Meng Yuqing's request.

Xuanshu crushed the salt rocks in a familiar way, and the garlic and ginger were also made into minced garlic and ginger at Meng Yuqing's request, mixed with salt and spread all over the meat.

After marinating for two hours, Meng Yuqing guessed that it was almost done, and directed Dan and Dong to start a fire, and set up the cleaned stone slabs on the stove.

He made a pair of long chopsticks out of bamboo, and after the torch had completely heated the slate, Meng Yuqing was ready to start grilling meat for them.

As soon as the meat was placed on the slate, there was a sizzling sound, and golden oil oozed out of the meat and flowed onto the slate.

It's really fortunate that the sharp-toothed beast is fat enough and oily enough, so it can be baked directly on the slate without sticking to the slate.

After roasting for a while, the color of the meat had already changed, and a strong aroma entered everyone's noses. Mu opened his mouth to stare at the roast meat, and his saliva flowed down.

"It smells so good! Yuqing, can I eat it?"

"I saw that the color of the meat has changed, it's ready to eat." Lie Ye stared blankly at the meat on the slate.

Dan and Dong even looked impatient.

Xuan is fine, most of the sharp-toothed beast that Meng Yuqing pickled was eaten by him and his father, so he can barely resist the temptation now, but why does it feel more delicious this time?

"Not yet, the inside is not yet cooked, we have to wait a little longer." Meng Yuqing carefully looked at the barbecue on the slate, and shook her head to refuse.

"When is it good? It's really delicious. It must be delicious." Mu squatted beside him and stared at the barbecue.

"It's almost ready, it's almost ready, wait a minute." He skillfully turned the barbecue over, thinking that it would be almost done after this side was done.

Under the scorching eyes of the five orcs, Meng Yuqing sprinkled green onions.

The barbecue is finally ready!

"Okay, it's ready to eat, be careful it's hot!"

As soon as the words fell, Mu had already picked up a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hot! Hot! Hot! Delicious! Hot!" While opening his mouth and fanning the wind with his hands, he stared at the remaining meat on the slate.

Except for Xuan, the other three reacted similarly to him, grabbing a piece of barbecue and stuffing it into their mouths without caring about the heat.

And Xuan, who had been prepared for a long time, took out two small wooden sticks from nowhere, and drove the meat piece by piece into the two small pottery bowls that Meng Yuqing had burned, and swept away half of the barbecued meat on the stone board in one go.

He walked up to Meng Yuqing and handed half of the barbecue meat to Meng Yuqing, "You can eat some of it yourself, they want to eat the rest of the meat and grill it yourself. You have already demonstrated it, let them do it themselves."

After speaking, he pulled Meng Yuqing aside.

Meng Yuqing gleefully took the barbecue that Xuan had snatched for him, and ate it, oh, it's really delicious!
