Chapter 33 Boiled water, pottery and broth

"Witch, drink hot water."

Han Cheng brought the bowl to the witch and said loudly.

Wu looked at the bowl of water in Han Cheng's hand, a little confused and confused as to why this good water was steaming white.

But when his hand touched the bowl, he understood somewhat because it was hot.

Wu took the bowl and did not drink it immediately. Instead, he held it in his hand and looked at Han Cheng with some confusion.

Han Cheng knew that Wu wanted to understand the truth behind this.

Han Cheng was helpless, this old man was good at everything, but his troubles with inquiring into the root of his problems were a bit different, so it was better for them to worry less and do more and ask less.

Han Cheng continued to complain, but he still patiently explained to Wu. He respected the old primitive man from the bottom of his heart for his help in saving his life.

This kind of respect is not only due to the grace of saving lives, but also stems from the efforts made by witches for the development of the tribe.

It is necessary to explain things clearly to the witch. Firstly, it can clear up the doubts in the witch's mind and make it easier for him to record. Secondly, it is to implement the system of drinking cooked water in the tribe, and the witch needs to come forward.

Under the alternate use of Han Cheng Chinese, tribal language and gestures, Wu finally understood the meaning of drinking boiled water.

He didn't understand why there were invisible bugs in the good water, and he couldn't quite understand what the Son of God said about illness being caused by bugs, but he firmly remembered one thing.

That is to put the water on the fire, you can boil the little bugs to death, and drink the water without the bugs, you will be less likely to get sick!

Just this is enough!

At this time, medical care had not appeared at all, at least not among the Qingque tribe. If you got sick, there was only one way to survive - to fight hard.

If you can resist it, you will be lucky; if you cannot resist, you will die.

In this era where even a common cold can kill someone, after hearing Han Cheng say that drinking this kind of water regularly can reduce the possibility of getting sick, it would be weird if Wu didn't take it seriously!

There is one more thing that the witch needs to record, which makes the witch feel a little melancholy at the same time.

He originally thought that the stone slabs in the cave would not be used up until his death. Who would have thought that not long after the arrival of the Son of God, these stone slabs were not enough. It seemed that the tribesmen needed to bring back some more.

.

In the afternoon, the senior brother came back with the hunting team.

Today's harvest was not much. The food they hunted was only enough for one day. There was no extra food, which meant that they would need to continue hunting tomorrow.

After dinner, the wizard summoned his senior brother and told him again what Han Cheng had told him today.

Just like the witch, after hearing that the boiled water had such great effects, the senior brother couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then immediately expressed his agreement to implement the system of drinking boiled water in the tribe.

The three blackened stones were returned to the fire, arranged in a triangle shape. Water was added to the blackened pottery pot, which was placed on the stones and continued to burn.

As time goes by, the water in the jar begins to steam...

The people in the tribe watched this scene from near or far. Many of them might not understand Han Cheng's behavior before, but after hearing that drinking this kind of water can prevent them from getting sick, they all paid attention to it.

.

There are too few vats and pots now, so it is inconvenient to use them for boiling water. Once the next kiln comes out, they can be opened.

The two old primitive men who were responsible for tending the flames had another job, which was to boil water.

There is nothing special about boiling water. After Han Cheng demonstrated it twice, they memorized the process and knew what boiling water meant.

The boiled water is poured into the large vat where the cold water is poured out, so that when everyone drinks it, it will not be too hot and inconvenient.

The job of carrying water was given to a primitive woman who was not very strong. She was the consort of the second senior brother.

Because they are relatively weak, they usually do not go out hunting with hunting teams. Instead, they stay in the tribe with several other primitive women who are relatively weak, pregnant or nursing children to collect fuel and go to the river.

The job of spearing fish.

Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the pottery in the second kiln had been fired for three days. This day was still like the first time the kiln was opened, with many people watching.

However, Han Cheng was no longer as anxious as last time, but kept feeling and checking the temperature inside by touching the dried mud outside the mud kiln and looking through the small ventilation holes.

He patiently waited from morning until afternoon, until the mud on the outer layer of the clay kiln felt a little cold to the touch, and then he began to pound the clay kiln.

A hole was opened in the clay kiln, and hot air came out from it, but it was not suffocating.

Han Cheng's heart was slightly in suspense, and he listened carefully to the movement inside, fearing that there would be a "click" sound of broken pottery.

He waited quietly for a while, but there was no sound. A smile appeared on Han Cheng's face. He sped up the movements of his hands. After a while, the entire clay kiln was opened, revealing the scene inside.

After more than three days of burning in the fire, all the original mud underwent qualitative transformation, not only turning into pottery, but most of them also became higher-level pottery.

There are many places on them with glorious glaze!

Under the afternoon sun, the black color glowed a little.

And the yield rate is also very gratifying. Only four of the fifty-three pieces were damaged, and the rest were all intact.

This includes three jars of different sizes and five jars with "double ears".

After the pottery from this kiln came out, the "pottery shortage" in the cave was greatly replenished!

The witches and others touched the black and shiny pottery under the sunlight, with excited expressions on their faces, especially after thinking that such beautiful things would belong to their tribe, they felt joy from the bottom of their hearts.

After the initial excitement, everyone washed the precious pottery in the river and began to transport it to the cave. Everyone handled it carefully, for fear of breaking the precious things.

Tonight's dinner was particularly sumptuous.

Well, this abundance not only refers to the variety of food, but also refers to the quantity of food being enough for everyone to eat.

The food tonight is indeed much richer. A large part of the reason for this is that Han Cheng put a large vat on the fire, put the meat on it, and then added water to cook a large vat of broth.

!

People who have been eating barbecue all their lives now not only eat boiled meat but also drink rich broth with floating oil. This is not an unfulfilled experience for them.

However, although the food made like this is delicious, one thing that is regrettable is that if you don't drink up the soup in the vat, you won't be able to get the meat underneath.

However, the clever and wise Son of God deliberately burned several bowls with symmetrical holes on the edges, and then found a clean branch with a finger-thickness of more than one meter long, and used a rope to pass through the holes.

After the branches and the bowl with holes were tied together, the problem was solved perfectly.

The Son of God called this thing that can directly take out the meat from the bottom of the tank and eat it a 'spoon'
