Prehistoric husband and wife salted fish turn over

In the end, the large earthen pot was still not made, and Naru and Tiger were very dissatisfied with it. They made an appointment to continue working together tomorrow, and they felt like they would never stop until they got it out.

Sun Zhixin was very satisfied. Looking at the various pottery placed under the moonlight and carefully counting them, he found that the skills of these two fierce men were really amazing!There are 27 clay embryo bowls, four clay pots, nine pottery plates, and three small jars.Nalu also pinched a pair of fish and quietly told Sun Zhixin that they were kissing fish.He had heard the story of kissing fish once and never forgot it, so he pinched a pair of kissing fish like the fish he had seen in the river.

Nalu has been kneading the clay for a long time, and I really feel that the clay in the past is really different from the ordinary soil, both the plasticity and the delicate texture are much better.He realized that clay is a good thing, so he refused to waste materials. The pair of fish he pinched were only two knuckles long from his index finger, and they were about the same size as his index finger. They looked like crucian carp in a small river, very small and cute. .

Sun Zhixin looked at this pair of lifelike little fish and laughed for a long time. He unscrupulously wrote Sun Zhixin's three Chinese characters on one fish with a twig, and wrote Nalu on the other fish according to the sound of Nalu's name. two words.Then put the two fish together mouth to mouth - hey!It's really interesting.

Then Tiger was upset when he saw it, so he just pinched an identical one and put it on it, and forced Sun Zhixin to write Chinese characters on it that he couldn't understand at all.Sun Zhixin had no choice but to write the word Tiger on the third fish according to Tiger's name, which made Tiger happy.In fact, Sun Zhixin really wanted to write the word "stupid", but felt that he was really sorry for Tiger, so he didn't mess around in the end.

Put the three small fishes together, the more you look at them, the more cute they look, but I don't know what they will look like after being fired?Sun Zhixin was looking forward to it.

It was getting late at this time, and I was about to drive these two guys back to their respective homes, each looking for their own mothers, but they had arranged the mud embryos to dry and waited for them to dry and solid before returning, only to find that the two guys were already in their tents After falling asleep, they were still talking in a low voice, as if they were discussing how to work together to continue working on that large earthen pot when they came back from hunting tomorrow.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Sun Zhixin always feels that the two guys seem to have a strong sense of class brotherhood after the joint rubbing of crock pots, and they are not as aggressive as before.Well, this is probably a good thing, at least it will not be easy to be hit by the stray bullets sprayed by the two when eating in the future.

Well, these two are uncles and cannot be driven away.Sun Zhixin had no choice but to heat up the fire pit in the front hall of the tent, and lay down there by himself.

When I woke up at dawn, the hunters had already set off. The breakfast was made by Buku and left for Sun Zhixin. It was simmering by the fire pit to keep the temperature.This child is always so hardworking and caring. Sun Zhixin really loves him very much, and feels like his own son.

After going out of the tent to wash, he searched everywhere for Buku, but he couldn't find it. He probably went to collect firewood again. Collecting firewood is his daily job. The little guy is very responsible, no matter how he plays, he never misses anything.How can modern children be as sensible as him?The more Sun Zhixin thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Buku, and he always wanted to reward him with something fun and delicious.Well, it can't be called a reward, Sun Zhixin just can't help but like this child, and instinctively wants to be nice to him.

For a while, he couldn't think of anything to give him, so Sun Zhixin first went to the pottery kiln dug out yesterday for a walk.

Carefully observe the pottery kiln that I and a group of children made, because the fire was burning enough at that time, and all the children worked together to stuff enough firewood into it. Its temperature has not cooled down at this time today. It was still slightly hot.Sun Zhixin looked at it carefully, and found that the four walls of the kiln had been burnt dry and solidified, which was better than he imagined.In other words, this pottery kiln has been successfully built and can be fired at any time.

The first thing to do now is to prepare fuel, and the second is to wait for the pottery embryos made by Naru and Tiger to dry and solid before starting work.

Looking back at the place where the pottery embryos were drying, Sun Zhixin couldn't help feeling warm again.Those pottery embryos that were scattered last night were carefully picked up neatly by someone, and they were conspicuously surrounded by thorny thorns to tell others not to approach them, so as not to damage these things.

Those who would do this are either the women of the clan or the elders of the clan, only they have such delicate thoughts.Sun Zhixin looked at the circle of dark brown thorn bushes, full of joy in his heart.No matter who it is, the fruits of their labor are cared for and carefully protected, and the degree of happiness is about the same as Sun Zhixin is now.

In this way, Sun Zhixin felt that no matter how much he did, it was worth the fare, or he could get more, because things have a price, and only friendship is priceless. A circle of thorn bushes for protection represents a lot of beauty s things.These prehistoric humans knew how to cherish the fruits of other people's labor, and they knew how to develop a heart of respect for life and others under their rude and ignorant appearance.Sun Zhixin looked at them with warm eyes, once again feeling that this time travel is really a great gift from heaven!

I saw some pottery products scattered around outside the circle of thorns, and most of the handicrafts were made by children in the clan.It is estimated that after seeing these pottery embryos in the morning, I thought it was fun, and I played with them one by one, and then discarded them here casually.They didn't dare to touch Sun Zhixin's clay, so they just dug out mud to make these small things. Most of them were made into four shapes, and only a few of them were quite good.

With the mentality that others cherish the fruits of his labor, Sun Zhixin smiled and put those little things into the thorn circle. Anyway, they were burned along with it. Presumably these children will be very happy when they see the final product.

At noon, afraid that the pottery embryos would be cracked by the sun, Sun Zhixin dipped fur in water and painted them on the surface to prevent cracks.It takes about a few days to dry, and finally it can be fired when it is almost dry and hard.

The next thing is to prepare fuel. After careful consideration, Sun Zhixin thinks that it is best to prepare two types of fuel in the current situation, one is dry firewood, and the other is charcoal made from dry firewood.

The principle is very particular. First of all, simply burning firewood, the temperature cannot reach the crystallization temperature of clay. It needs a temperature of 800 to 1200 degrees, while ordinary wood burns only about 420 degrees.Turning firewood into charcoal, it has considerable heat potential when it burns, and a suitable hearth can easily make the charcoal burn above 1000 degrees.There are many supporting materials on this aspect, and the use of it in ancient China to make steel and melt pig iron is enough to prove its potential in this regard.

But firing pottery requires high fire forging, so firewood is also necessary to prevent the pottery embryo from bursting due to rapid heating.Therefore, the process of adding vinyl should be firewood-charcoal-firewood.Considering the structure of fuel delivery in this way is relatively comprehensive, and at the same time, they will generate carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide during the smoldering period and fire calcination period, showing different chemical effects in different periods, and finally get high-quality pottery.

Sun Zhixin himself knew that a lot of time had been wasted due to the long-term planning and preparation of the whole pottery firing process, and the fact that he was prone to making mistakes halfway through his work.The footsteps of winter are getting closer and closer, and time can't stand the consumption, so his plan has to be changed. When it comes time to actually fire the kiln, it doesn't matter how many high-quality pottery a kiln can produce, but it is best to achieve the goal of being close to the top grade.In this way, no matter whether it is used or exchanged in the future, it will not go wrong.

In the next few days, Sun Zhixin ignored Tiger's complaints and Naru's dissatisfied eyes. He was allowed to stay in his tent every day except for the time when the two of them were rubbing pottery embryos. With his weakness of heart, if there are these two scourges, he can't do anything well.For this reason, he even invited the wise man Orric to come forward to help him drive away these two stubborn people who always stayed in his tent and refused to leave.

The next step is to burn charcoal. The easiest way to get it is to use tools to make it by smothering.It is to take a container, put the burning dry wood into it, cover the lid to isolate the air, and the firewood will smolder inside until the air is exhausted, and charcoal with great combustion potential is obtained.The whole process is actually not difficult. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties of ancient China, even the maids of rich families knew to use this method to make charcoal for heating in winter with wide-mouth jars.

It's just that there will be no suitable tools here at all, and the pot has not yet been fired, and the whole process of making charcoal will flow into a vicious circle of chicken and egg.The whole situation also shows the necessity of the emergence of practical containers from the side surface. The lack of these necessary living and production tools has severely restricted the long-term development of the tribes on both sides.

The so-called light is not bright in the east and bright in the west. Sun Zhixin simply used the method of burying pits to make charcoal.Dig a big pit, pile all the firewood into it, and then cover it with soil and sand to suffocate it, so as to reach the incompletely burned wood rock.The disadvantage of this method is that the workload is heavy, the success rate is low, and the amount of waste of firewood is relatively large. At the same time, there is an extra step in the process of selecting charcoal, because the whole method is too rough, and the yield rate must be low.But this also has an advantage, that is, you can make a lot at one time.

On the first day, Sun Zhixin led a group of little devils to do this, and they almost exhausted everyone to death.Continuing to work hard the next day, Sun Zhixin was about to go crazy. He never expected that the workload would be so heavy. If it weren't for the fact that the children of the tribe, regardless of gender, were not fragile, he really wouldn't be able to continue working.On the third day of liberation, Tarim came back from the sugar palm harvesting camp to support Sun Zhixin. Only then did Sun Zhixin see the dawn.

Sure enough, the fierce general came out, and one of them was worth two... Wrong, he could be worth ten!The production of charcoal gradually accumulated, and on the sixth day, the mud embryo was almost dried, and the accumulation of wood and rock had reached the amount that could be used to burn a pottery kiln.

On the seventh day, Naru and Tiger were sent off to go hunting, and Sun Zhixin finally made up his mind: Today we will burn pottery, success or failure, we must not delay any longer!
