Infrastructure maniacs from the East

The production of pottery is simple and complicated, and requires a lot of patience, but it doesn't require much strength. This is why Xu Tian didn't protest to the agricultural officer that all the pottery sent were women—although it was not absolute, but You have to admit that most of the time women are more patient and less disruptive than men.

The originally inconspicuous soil is slowly changing during beating and kneading, from thick to fine, from rough to uniform, from scattered to orderly, which can be used to shape the appearance, The leaves and stone powder are gradually blending with the soil, and finally the soil is mixed with some other colors.

Jack was a little surprised to feel the changes in the soil on his hands, and then looked up at the strange lord. He subconsciously picked up his own mud ball with both hands, and then he saw the lord walking over, bent down, and used his hands without a scar. , a finger with the same color as the clouds in the sky touched the clay in his hand. For some reason, before he could react, he lowered his head and looked at his dirty clothes that could no longer see the color. For the first time, the child of Glory felt inferior.

Yes, the clay in Jack’s hands can already be called clay. Xu Tian gently touched it with his hand. The consciousness fed back to his brain by his fingertips was very strange, but he had a unique intuition telling him——Yes, clay That's it.

But just relying on intuition, Xu Tian is still not at ease. Looking at his rare identification technique, he simply threw it up. This time it took a very short time, but except for the first few words, there are garbled characters behind it, but it is enough Yes, because the words that can be read clearly are - clay (available).

"very good,"

Children need encouragement, Xu Tian looked at Jack's smiling face after being praised, and silently thanked himself for his previous extensive reading in his heart.

"Theirs have to be like yours."

When children know that they have become the standard of others, they will teach with greater enthusiasm and help those who are not as good as him.

After Jack came back after checking around, the excitement on his face hadn't disappeared.

"Start the next step."

Now that the clay is finally ready, it's time to make them into the desired shape.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Tian had no intention of making it by himself. Although he was very excited and knew that he would be more accurate if he did it himself, he really didn't have the courage to touch the land that was likely to be covered with feces. There are countless insect eggs and unknown creatures in the soil, and even mixed with Yoneda, Xu Tian really wants to die.

The whole process of verbal guidance and occasional testing is Xu Tian's limit. Even if he dies of starvation, thirst, or jumps into the river and drowns, he will never do it himself!

#Swear three times#

The reconciled soil, no, it should be said to be pottery clay now. A piece of pottery clay was pulled out, and after being patted and kneaded with both hands, it was barely made into a round cake. Of course, it has not yet appeared in this area. The world of pancakes, Xu Tian explained to Jack - "make it into a shape like a wooden plate."

Ah, this damn world of dark cooking.

Sighing silently in his heart, Lord Xu continued to instruct Jack to knead the soil into strips - "make it like hemp rope".

The two girls who were asked to crush the plants changed their jobs—they had to find smooth dead grass—which was used to put between the wooden board and the mud pan, otherwise the mud would be dry and hard to lift tomorrow.

Under Xu Tian's half-baked guidance, Jack staggered and piled up the mud strips round and round along the edge of the circular mud bottom, and finally stopped at a height of four centimeters, forming a shape similar to a bowl, and then Slowly resting under Xu Tian's command, the difficulty of this matter is not low. Jack was sweating profusely when he did it-the mud is too soft, and he will be pressed out of a hole if he is not careful.

The broken wooden barrel came in handy again. According to Xu Tian's instructions, Jack took some water with both hands and gently sprinkled it on the pottery embryo, and then gently wiped it back and forth along the inside and outside of the pottery embryo with wet hands. The circle marks gradually began to become shallower and smaller, and finally disappeared after a long time, and became a smooth...bowl shape again.

Well, one side is higher and the other is lower, the bottom is big and the mouth is small, neither round nor flat. The only advantage is that the bottom is still sticky and the surface is relatively smooth. Xu Tian really wants to follow his conscience, but considering his handicapped attributes, Think about the level of knowledge of people in this day and age, and finally look at the tattered clothes on the children, the face with no baby fat at all...

"great!"

Lord Xu showed a big smile to the hard-working Jack, I don't know what a conscience is, I don't have one, look at this bowl, how well it is made.

What, you say this is not a bowl?

This is not a bowl, I don't bother to care about you.

Jack became the teacher of the women present. Although his tone was not good-this is common, even slaves are not surprised-but his teaching was really serious. Although he was angry several times because the women did not understand, he He never touched these slaves—the lord had made a secret agreement with him before, if he insisted on not doing anything to the slaves today, he would give him an extra bird egg the size of a fingernail.

Encouraged by the bird's egg, ah no, the lord, Jack successfully taught everyone. Although most people's bowls were worse than Jack's bowl, at least the soil at the bottom was very sticky, so that there would be no troubles. I worked so hard to burn a clay pot, but there was a gap in the bottom and I couldn't use this horrible thing to appear.

From zero to one has been the most difficult since ancient times, so when Jack taught this group of people how many ridiculous mistakes they made and how many failures they experienced. After learning how to do it, their efficiency gradually increased. By the time the sun set, a girl had already made a clay jar nearly half a meter high.

The lord is kind and generous. This day's work did not make them too tired, and the people here are used to two meals a day, only breakfast and dinner, so the lord Xu directly continued to distribute some beans to each of them. , and the girl who made the half-meter vat got an extra handful of beans. The lord announced in public that this was a reward for her. The girl flushed with excitement, and the eyes of other women were also full of eagerness and jealousy.

The lord left with a torch under the guard of Jack and the two knights, and the slaves returned to where they lived. No one would think of running away, because the land here is sparsely populated, and they cannot live anywhere. , although freedom is the sweetest honey in the world, those who have never tried it will naturally not have any desire for it.

In the eyes of those who have never had enough to eat, being able to eat is already very happy; in the eyes of those who have been in prison all their lives, being able to go outside is already very happy; The virtuous and virtuous are all forced out... Ah, no, it’s far away, in short, in the eyes of this group of slaves, they can have beans to eat, the work they do will not make them fall, and they have not been beaten all day. It's a day in wonderland.

"If the lord is like this, I am willing to be a slave for the rest of my life."

Those who have never experienced hardship do not know sweetness. Slaves have eyes to see, ears to hear, and brains to think. They know the life of free people and the cruelty of lords, but Xu Tian is a lord they have never seen (Though they only ever met one lord).

Throughout the night, girls' laughter could be heard from time to time among the slaves.

This is why Xu Tian wants to fight in this world. For the only child born in the 21st century, born in a honeypot and raised under the red flag, there is no qualification for life here, and he also It's not like there's no ability to change, so why not do it.

On the second day, the mud had dried a lot, and the water on the surface had disappeared. Xu Tian asked Little Jack to try to hold up his bowl. After a tiger-sniffing operation, he succeeded!

Very good, since Little Jack can succeed, there is no reason why the woman with relatively more flexible hands and feet should not succeed. The irregular bowls were held up one after another. It was the two girls who collected fallen leaves yesterday. In a relatively flat place, a layer of grass blades is spread on the ground, so that the people holding the pottery embryos can put down the things in their hands smoothly.

Today is the working day of the farmers. On the first day, they are always relatively full. Xu Tian temporarily asked all the slaves from the agricultural officer to make pottery for him. After the little trick, he was told by the housekeeper, and he also felt a little guilty, so he didn't object to this order, which was still absurd in his eyes, after all, it only took one day.

Jack turned into a teacher again. Last night the lord gave him a bunch of beans, which he could barely hold in his hands, and the lord of the bird eggs didn't regret it. Everyone in the family drank a little after taking them back, which had a faint fishy smell The delicious food made him have a beautiful dream at night, and early the next morning he begged his father to bring him over to help the lord.

Dozens of people and more than a dozen people are not a concept at all. When Jack knew his task today, he already felt that he was in great trouble, but the difficulty of the task was not reduced by half because of your pain-he felt that the previous teaching daughter The time of the slave had seen the stupidest people in the world until he started teaching this large group of people.

Seeing Jack's breakdown, Xu Tian sniggered unkindly. Sure enough, it was the right decision to teach one person and let him teach the rest, but Xu Tian still has a conscience after all——

After admiring Little Jack's desperation, he kindly told him that yesterday's female slave could teach some people. After each woman was assigned three or four people who needed to be taught, Jack's pressure instantly eased to him. To an acceptable level, he looked at Xu Tian at this moment and felt that the lord's body was shining with holy light.

Your lord is such a good man.
