Everyone in the Qingque tribe seemed a little uneasy, and many people would involuntarily look to the west of the tribe while they were working.
They are looking forward to the early return of those who have gone out. To be precise, they are looking forward to the early return of the Son of God.
For some reason, the tribe is missing the Son of God. Even though they know that there is no tribe nearby that can cause serious harm to their tribe, they just feel uneasy and feel as if a lot of things are missing.
The pregnant Bai Xuemei ran to the gate more often than Wudu.
I don’t weave the cloth that I like to weave very much anymore. I come out to take a look at it from time to time when I am feeding the silkworms.
In fact, she wanted to go up to the wall to look out, but she remembered that her brother Cheng wouldn't let her climb that high, so she had no choice but to go to the gate instead.
After looking here with expectation for a while, the west side was still calm. Bai Xuemei, who was a little disappointed, turned around and went back to add mulberry leaves to the silkworms.
This batch of silkworms has almost grown in size and will soon undergo the last molting process, so they eat a lot.
I turned around and took two steps back, then turned my head to look to the west out of habit, and then a miracle happened.
On the path in the woods to the west, where there had been no human figures just now, there were more people carrying burdens and deer carrying bags.
After being stunned for a moment, the happy Bai Xuemei hugged her belly and hurried over there without saying a word.
"Back! Back!"
After Bai Xuemei ran a certain distance, someone also spotted the returning team and shouted excitedly, causing the Qingque tribe to burst into excitement.
"I'm going!"
Han Cheng was carrying the burden and walking at the front of the team. He looked at the tribe that appeared in front of him and listened to the cheers from the tribe for their return. Han Cheng, like the others in the team, also had a smile on his face.
When I saw the flowers, I instantly felt that all the hardships I had endured were worth it.
However, this good mood disappeared all of a sudden after discovering that the guy who held his belly and pushed others away, and just ran away with his head sullenly without saying a word, was Bai Xuemei.
Han Cheng said: "I'm going" and rushed out of the team, carrying the burden.
This silly woman is getting more and more in need of cleaning up...
The Qingque tribe was filled with joy. Bags of ore were poured out and piled together, making it a big pile.
Under the sunlight, these ores look extremely beautiful, and are more eye-catching than ordinary stones.
Wu picked up a piece of translucent malachite and put it in front of his eyes, looking at the sunlight, and suddenly felt that the world became more colorful.
Bai Xuemei, who had been slapped twice on the head, followed Han Cheng like a kitten, unwilling to leave. She would follow Han Cheng wherever he went, just like a follower.
"The silkworms are starving to death."
Han Cheng helplessly pointed to the dustpan not far away and finished eating the mulberry leaves. The hungry silkworm raised its head and said to Bai Xuemei.
This clingy guy then left Han Cheng to feed the silkworms.
After feeding him, he kept coming to Han Cheng's side.
Han Cheng could only smile helplessly, but he still felt very useful.
Now that the copper ore is back, the next step is to refine pure copper.
To smelt copper, you need to build a smelting furnace first.
Han Cheng had never seen this kind of furnace, and he had never seen copper smelting before, so he could only explore slowly.
After pouring the ore he brought back to the ground, he told Wu and others about the situation when he went out, asked about what happened in the tribe during this period, told each other about their parting feelings, had lunch, and after resting for a while, Han Cheng walked out
Tribe, invite Hei Wa, a guy who likes pottery, and walk together outside the tribe.
Of course it's not an outing or anything like that, but looking for a suitable place to build a stove.
Copper smelting furnaces are best located downwind of residential areas and downstream of rivers. This can reduce the impact of waste gas on people and the pollution of water sources by slag and other things.
Moreover, the terrain should be high and far away from the river. This is to reduce the stove from being affected by moisture and avoid being flooded and destroyed by the river when the water rises.
After choosing and choosing, Han Cheng finally chose a place near the quarry in the northwest of the tribe.
The southeast wind is strongest here in the tribe. This is the downwind area and it is far enough away from the river that it will not be affected.
Because the Qingque Tribe transports its ore by land, being far away from the river has little impact on the Qingque Tribe.
This place is a small hillock with relatively high terrain and low chance of getting damp. It is indeed an ideal place to build a stove.
After choosing the place, Han Cheng immediately started construction without delay.
First, a half-meter-wide tunnel was dug in a relatively high area of the post, and the tunnel was covered with stone slabs.
A round pottery plate with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters is placed in the middle. The pottery plate is more than 5 centimeters thick and is covered with round holes of about 2 centimeters in diameter, like briquettes.
A thick layer of loess and clay was applied to the stone slab, and then the stove was started.
This can avoid moisture to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can be ventilated and let ash leak down, making the fire burn more vigorously.
After getting these most basic things done, it was already getting late, so we had to wait until tomorrow to do the rest.
A breakup is better than a wedding, and Han Cheng is in the same year again. After hearing the news about the child in the evening, there is a tenderness between Han Cheng and Bai Xuemei, which need not be elaborated.
The next day I called Hei Wa and continued cooking the stove.
Hei Wa has done so many things like stoves that he can't help it. Someone is transporting bricks here and he is responsible for the trays. Before noon, a stove has been freshly baked, and a large vat is placed on top, the copper smelting stove of the Qingque tribe.
It also appeared.
It just seems a little too crude or childish.
Han Cheng didn't have much to think about at this point. He was really unfamiliar with copper smelting, so he could only learn while fighting.
Get some firewood and put it into the newly installed stove to dry and test the fire.
The stove was set up very successfully, the fire was burning brightly, and by the afternoon the stove was drying out.
Wu, Senior Brother and others couldn't wait to start practicing copper on the newly installed stove, hoping to see this metal as soon as possible.
Copper is not easy to deal with. It is just like a stove. If you want to refine it, it will take a lot of time.
Looking up at the sun in the west, Han Cheng still suppressed the impulse in his heart. He did not agree with what Wu and others said, but instead asked people to transport the copper ore in the courtyard here.
At the same time, people were asked to build a shed here using tree trunks and other things to cover the stove.
It can protect the stove from wind and rain, and at the same time, some charcoal can be stored under the shed. In case of windy and rainy weather, with the shed there, you can continue to smelt copper here without being affected.
Copper ore and charcoal had been delivered before it got dark, and the shed was being built in accordance with Han Cheng's requirements. It should be ready in three days at most.
With the increase in population and proficiency, the people of the Qingque tribe can do these things at a much faster speed than before.
