Everyone rushed to the front of the kiln door, and found that the utensils placed in circles inside seemed to be the same as before, but the color had changed greatly. It was dark red in color, with a smoky and fire-roasted look.
Mark of.
Xu Chen covered his mouth and nose, and after the dust dispersed, he reached in and tested it. He found that although there was still some residual warmth, it would not cause any harm, so he climbed up and took out a pottery bowl from inside.
"Boom boom~"
I flicked it twice with my fingers, and the pottery bowl made a slightly crisp sound.
A smile instantly appeared on Xu Chen's face. He turned it over and looked at the bottom of the bowl. The four hieroglyphics produced by Bashi were very clear, just like when he put it in.
"Mobaba quack!"
Xu Chen gave a thumbs up and put the pottery bowl in Mu Ba's hand.
Mother Ba held the dark red pottery bowl in both hands, her body was trembling slightly, her gray hair and feathers were swaying, and her wrinkled face showed excitement that she had never seen before.
He stroked it gently, looked at it repeatedly, and then played it twice, imitating Xu Chen's example. Listening to the slightly crisp sound, Mother slowly raised the pottery bowl with both hands.
"Wooga!"
"Wu Ga, Wu Ga, Wu Ga~~"
A group of men covered in oil paint beat their chests and started roaring.
"Wu Ga~Wu Ga~Wu Ga~~"
A group of little savages also imitated the adults' movements, beating their little chests with high-pitched and sharp voices, appearing even more excited and excited.
Although they did not understand the importance of pottery, they also took credit for the successful production of these pottery.
In order to step in the mud, everyone was wrapped up like a mud monkey all day long.
At this time, there is a kind of happiness and pride that is beyond honor.
After a group of savages finished howling like ghosts and wolves, Xu Chen roared to open the kiln. Gu and Ju, who had already been eager to try, immediately got into the kiln impatiently. The other four kiln workers also swarmed up and stretched out their hands to hand out the kiln.
The pottery was caught and placed in the open space.
"Terracotta, figurine..."
Adults flocked to the open space to watch the pottery coming out of the kiln, while a group of children crowded to the entrance of the kiln, jumping and shouting.
"Figurine~"
Gu Heju handed out a bunch of clay dolls that were randomly thrown into the kiln. A group of children immediately cheered and scrambled to get their own pottery figurines. They cheered excitedly and rolled on the ground.
What a bunch of happy little savages.
Xu Chen stood nearby, looking at the happy appearance of a group of children, feeling full of jealousy.
Once upon a time, I had such a happy childhood, bathing in mud puddles, rolling on the beach, and having fun in the wild.
But it's a pity that every time I come home after having a good time, my father will give me a good beating. Of course, sometimes it's twice.
"Chenga!"
Xu Chen felt his fur skirt being tugged by someone, as if someone was touching his bare buttocks. He quickly covered his buttocks in fear, and when he turned around, he saw Ye Zheng standing behind him with a face filled with anticipation.
Xu Chen's face was filled with nervousness: "Gaha?"
"Pot!" Ye gestured with both hands to resemble a kettle.
Xu Chen understood. He put his head into the kiln to take a look, pointed at a location and gave an order. Immediately, a round-bellied kettle was handed out.
This is the small kettle that Ye last inscribed, with a circle of pictographic numeric symbols designed by Xu Chen on it.
The characters are not neatly written in large and small sizes, and the strokes are very immature, but they look unique and full of post-modern art.
"It's pretty!" Xu Chen played with it and put it in Ye's hand.
"Thank you!" Ye Luo held it in his hand with a very excited expression.
Soon, all the pottery was taken out and placed in a large area in the open space in front of the kiln.
There are more than a hundred in number, and basically none of them have been broken.
The reason why it is not broken is naturally because the materials used are solid and the prices are high, and all the pottery is made very thick.
The largest number of dishes and cups in it can basically guarantee that everyone has two kinds of them. The rest are kettles, jugs and other styles that are relatively complex. Almost all have handles and ears, and some have lids, so these are useful to everyone.
The attraction is even greater, and most people are vying to pass on these artifacts.
Under the leadership of Mu Ba, a group of savages started a new round of carnival holding a pottery vessel in their hands and began to circle around the earthen kiln.
The roaring roar was so loud that the beasts grazing on the river beach in the distance were frightened and nervous, and the birds were swooping and circling in the sky.
Clan tribes live a primitive communist life with equal distribution. These things are considered public goods, and it is impossible for everyone to give out two. Therefore, after a period of excitement, Mother Ba excitedly led all the tribesmen to send these exquisite pottery up the mountain.
Xu Chen was cheered and carried all the way back to the cave by a group of men because he made these pottery. After returning, these pottery were neatly placed on the stone slabs around the fire pit. Under the arrangement of his mother, a group of people started to moan and groan.
They started singing and dancing, and after celebrating for nearly an hour, the joy brought by the pottery slowly subsided.
With pottery, life style will naturally change greatly.
For example, I used to drink water with my hands, but now it is much more convenient to use a cup.
In the past, food was thrown randomly on stones and either eaten raw or grilled. Now it is served in earthenware bowls and plates, which must be much cleaner.
Recently, during the process of making pottery at the foot of the mountain, Xu Chen slowly taught Ju Hegu and others how to use chopsticks while burning fish and shrimp on stone slabs for toothpaste.
Although everyone's movements were clumsy, they all learned it after training for half a month. Other tribesmen also seemed to think that eating this way was more standard, so they began to follow suit.
Imitation has always been the source of human evolution.
In particular, Ye and a group of children not only imitated Xu Chen's speech, but also imitated his behavior.
Of course, many of them were deliberately guided and trained by Xu Chen.
For example, you should not speak with a crotch, food should be washed, and hands should be washed before eating.
Especially for defecation and peeing. In order to change the habit of defecating everywhere in the kiln factory, he specially asked people to dig a pit near the kiln as a toilet, and prepared many large leaves for wiping their buttocks.
It is precisely because of his training and subtle influence that the living habits of a group of savages have become much better recently, and they never licked their fingers after defecating.
Now that real pottery has been mass-produced, Xu Chen has begun to further guide this group of savages to start more civilized living habits.
For example, when drinking water, you must use a cup.
In addition, because there is a fire in the fire pit all day long, you can keep boiling water with a kettle, put it in a pitcher to cool down, and then drink it.
The spring water on the mountain is very clean and has a slight sweetness.
But it is raw water after all, and all kinds of viruses, bacteria and parasites are hard to guard against.
Drinking hot or cold water is the key to health.
And with hot water and a cup, you can also make tea.
Although he has not discovered tea at the moment, fruit tea and scented tea are also tea, and you can even make some health-preserving tea.
In this era where there are no doctors, all injuries and illnesses have to be dealt with by oneself.
Having a strong and healthy body is more important than anything else.
In addition, you can use clay pots to cook food.
In order to teach these primitive people how to use these pottery, Xu Chen demonstrated to them one by one.
The easiest way to boil water is to fill a clay pot with water and put it on the stove to boil.
Cooking food is relatively complicated.
After all, primitive people have no concept of cooking, except for grilling and eating raw.
Therefore, Xu Chen spent some extra effort to put commonly eaten grains such as oats and beans directly into the earthen pot without mashing them. After adding water, he slowly simmered them in the charcoal fire of the fire pit.
The same goes for meat. Wash the minced meat and put it in a crock pot, add some wild ginger, and simmer it slowly in the charcoal fire.
At present, Xu Chen has not found any other edible ingredients except wild ginger, wild onions and leeks.
When he had free time recently, he wandered around the kiln, but the peppercorns and chili peppers he wanted most were nowhere to be seen.
These two ingredients are indispensable in cooking, especially after he has become accustomed to the food tastes of the southwest over the past few years, he almost feels that there is no spicy food.
People in Yunnan and Guizhou eat spicy food more fiercely. Because of the lack of salt in ancient times, local people traditionally use chili peppers as salt, using strong spiciness to stimulate and weaken the need for salt.
Zanthoxylum bungeanum has the function of promoting gastrointestinal digestion and expelling cold and dampness, so it is relatively popular in Sichuan and Chongqing.
Judging from the current temperature and environment, he speculated that these two or similar plants should exist, but the Ba tribe's territory was too small and the wild was too dangerous for him to risk his life for these two ingredients.
However, the nearby tribes will hold a tribal conference called the Witch Lord in the near future, and then you may have a chance to find out.
Xu Chen was busy going back and forth, boiling water, making porridge and stewing meat, while his mother and a group of people were observing and helping to study.
Recently, Xu Chen has changed too much and has too many creative ideas. Because of him, the tribe has also undergone earth-shaking changes, especially the appearance of pottery. While the tribesmen are excited and excited, they also gradually develop some awe, especially a group of adults.
For everything Xu Chen did, he unconsciously began to develop an attitude of obedience.
As the leader of the clan, Muba shoulders the mission of protecting all clan members. She is even more happy and excited because of the great changes that Xu Chen has done to the family. While giving Xu Chen more care, she also has a lot of problems.
Be less suspicious.
This suspicion comes from the various changes that occurred after Xu Chen suddenly died and came back to life.
It could clearly feel that Xu Chen was very different from the morning before he fell to his death, and it was almost a complete sense of strangeness.
Ropes, rattan baskets, wooden hoes, bows and arrows, pottery and other novel and creative items appeared one after another, especially the burning of pottery, which was so complex that it was almost unimaginable, making her suspicious and even a little frightened.
Therefore, she had to take out the magic weapon given by the great witch left behind by her mother, the former clan leader, to enhance Xu Chen's status in the tribe and make the tribe give Xu Chen more respect.
She was still not sure what was the reason for Xu Chen's change, but it was obvious that the tribe had benefited greatly from it.
Therefore, she was still hesitating whether to inform the patriarch and the great witch of her mother clan about Xu Chen's changes.
