Prehistoric husband and wife salted fish turn over

By the time the hunters came back in the afternoon, the flame had turned a color slightly close to rose red, which meant that the temperature of the flame had reached almost 600 degrees, which was almost the peak of dry wood burning in the furnace without artificial catalysis. .

Sun Zhixin paid close attention to the flames, and the children who were guarding at the side shouted: "Everyone, let's blow the fire!"

Prehistoric humans didn't know that sending oxygen into the flame could increase the combustion potential and increase the temperature of the flame, but Sun Zhixin knew it, so he prepared the most primitive fire-promoting tool-the torch in advance.

A group of children rushed over, each with a bamboo tube in his hand, and all of them blew fiercely towards the fire mouth with all their strength.Seeing that more oxygen was provided, the flame burned even more fiercely, showing a bright rose red color.In this way, charcoal can be thrown in for about two hours, and the fuel is replaced with charcoal step by step, and the temperature continues to rise.

At this time Naru and Tiger have come back and are rushing over with Ogg.The three of them looked at Sun Zhixin beside the pottery kiln. He was guarding with sweat all over his body. His whole face was black with charcoal ashes, and there were traces washed out by sweat. He was no longer the usual handsome and heroic. image.

The first time the three of them came back, they didn't clamor for food like starving ghosts carrying their tires as usual, and they silently lined up in the queue for blowing fire without even saying hello to the focused Sun Zhixin.

It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to use human power to blow fire, but at present there is no better way to replace it except for this method. It can only be replaced by a wave of people after a group of people get tired of blowing, and this cycle continues.It is too late to make a hand-operated blade blower, and we can only look forward to improving it when firing pottery in the future.

Sun Zhixin was also indifferent to other things. At this time, the temperature in the kiln room had reached a critical point. If there was a mistake in the middle, there might be a great risk of failure.Having invested so much manpower, material resources, and energy, as well as the expectations of too many people, the blow of failure, not to mention others, even he himself cannot afford it.

There was no one to cook, so the three of them had to go to Master Kong's house to hang out for food again, but Buku refused to go, he wanted to stay by Sun Zhixin's side.This time, no one complained that Master Kong's wife was not as good as Sun Zhixin. Even the venomous and awkward child Aoge was silent. Blowtorch.The tool of blowing torch is also being consumed, the closer it is to the flame, the easier it is to be burned, and the sections are always getting shorter the more they are used.

The dinner was given to Sun Zhixin by Naru, and Sun Zhixin didn't realize who handed it to him at all, but just took it and started to eat it. While chewing the food in his mouth, he kept staring at the fire, refusing to miss a single bit. The change.Naru and Tiger looked at each other, and squatted down beside Sun Zhixin quietly, like two faithful patron saints.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, charcoal was thrown, and the temperature continued to rise.Through the occasional cracks, I can see that the mud embryo has been burnt bright red, and it is very gratifying to see no traces of cracks, at least those that Sun Zhixin saw.

In the middle of the night, no matter how Orik tried to drive, the hunters gathered around the pottery kiln, refusing to leave, hoping to go up to help if there was no one to blow the fire.The group of children who were the first to take turns were already exhausted, and their cheeks were sore and unbearable.

Under the effect of concerted efforts, the result is that at two o'clock in the morning, the charcoal burning flame has turned into a bright orange color, which means that the furnace temperature has reached 1100 degrees, and the most intense fire has begun. high temperature calcination process.

"Tarim! Throw charcoal hard! Keep this temperature until I tell you to stop!" Sun Zhixin yelled, grabbed a blowtorch from a person beside him, puffed out his cheeks and blew violently into it.At the most difficult time, Sun Zhixin began to work hard.

In fact, Tarim was exhausted enough, and he was one of the people who persisted from the beginning to the present.Hearing Sun Zhixin's call, the simple and honest man knew that the critical moment had come, he gritted his teeth and supported his bulging body, lifted up the wicker basket containing charcoal like a strong man, and followed the method Sun Zhixin said quickly and quickly. Sprinkle evenly into the furnace through the burner.

The high temperature in the furnace allowed the charcoal to ignite as soon as it was sprinkled in, and got a sufficient supply of oxygen to maintain this high temperature well.

The torch that Sun Zhixin snatched happened to belong to Tiger.Tiger turned his head and glanced twice, took the blowing torch from Buku's hand, moved closer and started blowing——

The fire lasted until dawn, and as a result, no one in the entire camp slept, and they all threw charcoal and blew on the fire.

As a result, for the first time in the entire camp, all the hunters did not leave the camp to hunt.All the clan members have stayed up all night, how can they go out to hunt?Is it possible to deliver food to the beast?Naru and Tiger simply ordered everyone to stand by the side of the pottery kiln to help them not to go out.

By this time, a full 24 hours had passed, and Sun Zhixin stayed up all night until his footsteps were exhausted, his eyes were bloodshot, and dark circles appeared under his eyes.

Naru sat on the back of Sun Zhixin, hugged Sun Zhixin's chest and asked him to lean on his back, and said softly, "Xiaoxin, rest for a while, I will show you."

Sun Zhixin was already head-scratched, and when he heard this, he shook his head suddenly, only to realize that Naru and Tiger had been by his side for an unknown amount of time.

He stared and shouted, "Naru, go blow the fire! Tiger, bring me some water to wake me up."

A pain of pity surged in Naru's heart, and he couldn't help but kissed Sun Zhixin on the forehead, then picked up the blower and blew it away.Tiger got up without saying a word, picked up Sun Zhixin to the river, pressed his head into the river, and then carried him back to the pottery kiln.

Sun Zhixin's spirit boosted by Tiger's rough behavior was really painful and joyful.Sun Zhixin smiled silently at Tiger, and said: "Do me a favor, make a hole on the side of the pottery kiln with Tarim, let me see the color of the pottery embryo. Be careful, the flame temperature is very high, don't get burned .”

Tiger looked at him with eyes like water, couldn't help kissing Sun Zhixin on the forehead like Naru, and then left to dig the observation hole with Tarim.

Tarim's brain is not very bright, but Tiger is very witty, knowing that the temperature of the furnace cannot be approached now, so he chose a safe location and cut a gap to form an observation hole.This is also the reason why Sun Zhixin asked him to go instead of Naru. Naru's flexibility in this aspect is far inferior to him.

Even so, as soon as the gap was opened, the heat emitted forced the two of them to retreat step by step, feeling as if the temperature around them rose instantly.

Sun Zhixin cautiously approached the observation hole from the side for a while, and saw that all the pottery embryos had been fired into crystal clear bright yellow, that is, they had risen to a temperature of over 1200 degrees together with the kiln temperature, and were rapidly crystallizing. Solidification is the most important qualitative change process in the entire pottery firing process, and it only needs to be persisted for a period of time before it can be transferred to the cooling process.

Because the temperature was too high, Sun Zhixin didn't dare to get too close, and could only vaguely see a bright yellow in the kiln room, as if the situation was in good shape.

Seeing that Sun Zhixin's face was slowly stained with joy, Aurike couldn't help asking carefully, "How is it? Did you ask any questions?"

Sun Zhixin shook his head, and shouted, "Block this opening, continue to increase the fire, and burn for another hour."

Auric didn't ask why, his anxious face was dry, and he also grabbed a blowing torch, completely ignoring his old age and frailty, and rushed to blow the fire.

Only Alpha and Geben retreated from the last wave of blowing fire. Brother Ben was impatient, and jumped there before taking a break, shouting: "You said it! How is the burn?"

Sun Zhixin paused for a moment, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart, so he just said, "It doesn't seem too bad."

Brother Ben became even more anxious, with an expression as if he wanted to rush up and punch Sun Zhixin.Alpha grabbed him and said, "Don't disturb Sun Zhixin, just be quiet!"

Brother Ben was only quiet for a moment, and then rushed up to stuff charcoal into the fire, absolutely unwilling to really calm down.

At around ten o'clock, stop putting charcoal, start adding firewood to the burner, and enter the third step of cooling down.

In fact, at this point, the whole process of firing pottery has almost come to an end, just keep the kiln temperature not to drop too fast to prevent the fired pottery from bursting.

Sun Zhixin staggered and watched the color of the flame change from bright yellow to orange, and then continue to change to red. Both body and mind were exhausted to the extreme, and it was almost impossible to hold on to his eyelids.Everyone else has gone back to sleep in rotation, even Naru and Tiger have gone to sleep in shifts, and he and Tarim are the only ones who have been guarding from beginning to end.Compared with Tarim who only moved his body without using his mind, Sun Zhixin was exhausted both physically and mentally. He survived this for nearly thirty hours, but he still stayed there with a belief: others can retreat, but he must not retreat. !

When Naru and Tiger came back again, they saw Sun Zhixin like this - gritted his teeth stubbornly, his whole face seemed to have shrunk in a day and night, and his black eyes were surprisingly big, like is brighter.The expression on his face was exhausted to the extreme, but his lips were still tightly pursed to reveal a resolute line as it was more than ten hours ago, and his pupils were burning with bright eyes that never gave up.Although he is so embarrassed, covered in stains, and his face is so stained that he can't even see his skin color, such Sun Zhixin exudes infinite charm from head to toe, and that strong will is revealed from his face, body, and eyes. When he came out, everyone's eyes were attracted to him like a magnet.

Naru looked at him with pity and pride in his heart.This is the man I fell in love with, with that outstanding demeanor that no one can match!

Tiger clenched his fists hard, turned his head to look at Naru, and said word by word: "Naru, Sun Zhixin, I will never give up! No matter what challenge, you just bring it up, and I, Tiger, will never wrinkle Lower your brow!"

Naru raised his eyebrows and said, "You are late, he gave me his heart."

Tiger's leopard eyes were fixed, his lips were drawn into a straight line, and then he laughed and said: "This is not up to you. Don't worry, I will not lose to you, I will win his heart!"

Naru stopped talking, and looked over with sharp eyes like a knife.Tiger met his gaze head-on, still showing his sharpness!
