Chapter 926 The Black Baby Who Betrayed His Dignity (2 in 1)
The wooden stick with the hook is inserted into the water and hooks the bamboo soaked in it.
Shi Shi exerted force on his arm, and the bamboo soaked in it was pulled to the surface of the water.
The originally clear water became a little turbid with the movement of the stone. At the same time, the smell sealed in the water began to spread around and permeate the air.
Bamboo growing on the ground looks very beautiful, but after soaking in water for a period of time, it will become like retting hemp and have a very strong smell.
But the stone didn't care about the smell.
What kind of person is he who can pick up dung in the fields with the people in the tribe, clean the pig pens, deer pens, sheep pens, etc., and can also hold the dung scoop with Tietou to carefully treat the Yuanxi tribe who accidentally ate the kaolin people?
Have you ever seen a big scene? To him, such a thing is nothing, just drizzle.
After pulling the bamboo up to float a little, Shitou knelt down and carefully looked at the bamboo that had been soaked in water and started to soak before the Son of God went south.
After being soaked in water for such a long time, the color of these bamboos has long since changed, and they are no longer as green as before.
The whole thing became black and black, and there was some slippery rust on the surface.
Shitou watched it carefully for a while, then stretched out a hand to pinch the bamboo. It was a little soft and some things had rotted away. However, based on his previous experience in making paper, it was obvious that bamboo of this level could not be used.
Papermaking.
Shitou sighed. It seemed that it would be impossible to use this raw material to make the kind of paper suitable for writing that the Son of God mentioned as soon as possible, at least not a year ago.
As the weather gets colder, these things will rot slower and slower.
Such things were not told to him by the Son of God, but were summed up by him during these years of papermaking.
As for why it is like this, Shitou can't figure it out.
Before Shenzi left the main tribe and went to Jinguan City, Shitou once asked Shenzi why this was happening.
Shenzi said that this is because when the weather is hot, the water also becomes hot, and the temperature is just right, which is very suitable for the growth of some invisible bugs, which Shenzi calls bacteria.
It is precisely because of the continuous gnawing of these small insects that the things on the surface of the hemp bark soaked in the water slowly disappear, and the bamboo soaked in the water will slowly decay.
Such an answer scared Shi Shitong away from drinking water for a while. He always felt that he would drink countless bugs into his stomach with one sip.
This is not drinking water, but drinking bug soup!
Of course, this was not what he feared the most. What frightened him the most was that the insects that he drank would gnaw at him like hemp bark.
Hard things like hemp skin and bamboo poles cannot withstand the bites of these little bugs. He, who is far less hard than these things, is even more unable to withstand the bites of these little bugs.
It wasn't until the Son of God said that drinking boiled water would make no difference, that Shi Shi, who couldn't bear the thirst, finally died of thirst before being bitten by the imaginary little bugs.
After that, after slowly learning more about these little bugs from Shenzi, Shitou finally let go of the fear and worry in his heart.
As a result, I became very interested in the little bugs mentioned by the Son of God. When I had nothing to do, I wanted to lie down by the water and watch, hoping to see the countless little bugs that the Son of God talked about.
Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, the water is still water, no different from before, which makes Shitou very distressed.
Knowing his troubles, the Son of God told him that if he wanted to see these things, he needed a tool, which was a tool called a microscope made of something cleaner and more transparent than ice cubes.
Stone has never seen something cleaner and clearer than ice, and will not melt, but he is very convinced that such a thing must exist in this world, just like he firmly believes that there are creatures like cows in this world.
…
Shenzi also briefly talked about how to make such a tool that can see small insects in the water, but it sounded too complicated. Even though he tried hard to memorize it at the time and wrote it down in a small notebook, now
Even if I think about it from time to time, I still can’t remember clearly.
I can't remember this incident clearly, but I remember other things very well.
For example, when Shenzi was talking about small bugs to himself, he mentioned in passing that hot weather can speed up the spread of odors.
At that time, the Son of God also made a vivid metaphor of a latrine in summer.
Thinking of this matter, Shitou couldn't help but feel deep admiration for Shenzi. He only discovered a few things, but Shenzi was able to notice so many things that he and others had never noticed before.
And by the way, we can summarize the rules...
This is the Son of God! Even going to the toilet can give you something different...
After Shi Shi carefully inspected these things, he released his hands and let the bamboos soak in the water again. Then he stood up and walked to the second adjacent pool, took out the wooden sticks again, and continued to repeat the previous thing.
The stones were made very carefully, and things like microscopes still seemed out of reach, but making paper from bamboo is something that can be done now.
After picking up all the bamboos in the six pools and looking at them carefully, Shitou put the hooked stick back to its original position, walked to the river, and carefully washed his palms with clean river water.
After my hands were dry, I picked up the small notebook and charcoal pen that were placed there, wrote the date on them, and wrote down their situations in turn.
After finishing here and staying here for a while, Shitou took these things and walked back to the tribe...
The sealed kiln was once again opened by Hei Wa. Under everyone's expectant gaze, Hei Wa stretched out his hand and took out a white utensil from inside, eagerly watching it.
Just after glancing at it, Hei Wa's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
It is different from the white pottery fired before. The surface of the utensils fired with kaolin this time looks much smoother and has a vague feeling of shine.
This has never happened before. The utensil in my hand looks a bit like the porcelain that the Son of God mentioned!
Such a scene was not only seen by Hei Wa, but also by other people who were relatively close here. Some people even shouted excitedly: "Porcelain! Porcelain!"
Hearing such a cry, Hei Wa's face turned red with excitement while holding this unusual instrument.
Fortunately, after so many years, he has become more stable.
After being excited for a while, his rationality slowly began to return.
He placed this utensil fired from kaolin in front of his eyes and observed it carefully. He found that although this thing was quite different from the previous white pottery, it did not seem to be porcelain.
Because it is very different from the appearance of porcelain that Shenzi once described.
After looking at it for a while, Heiwa started to play with the instrument with his fingers.
The sound does indeed sound better than ordinary pottery, but it still sounds like an urn, not as crisp as the son of God said.
After confirming that this was still not porcelain, Hei Wa was a little disappointed, but this disappointment was not strong and was quickly replaced by deep joy and enthusiasm.
Now that I have made such a big change in this instrument, I will definitely be able to fire the porcelain that the Son of God said in the future!
However, it is not easy to move forward with many things. The closer to the end, the more difficult it becomes.
Just like the Heiwa that has been fired into semi-porcelain.
In the following time, he fired it several times and tried every means to make changes in various aspects. However, this last step could not be broken no matter what.
No matter how it is burned or how long it takes, the best result is still semi-porcelain.
This kind of thing makes Hei Wa very distressed, so much so that he tends to transform into an ascetic male god.
For many nights in a row, I stopped singing little tunes with Zhuang.
Not only that, but he also always seemed distracted. When he was eating, he dropped his chopsticks to the ground and used a single chopstick to pull it into his mouth several times. Only then did he realize that one chopstick was missing.
For example, at this time, I picked up the lid on the small tank and scooped out water. After scooping out the water, I conveniently placed the lid on the small tank on top of the big tank.
When the small lid is placed on the big jar, nothing else will happen except that the lid will fall into the jar.
The small lid fell into the big vat, and the wind blew up from the big vat, blowing Hei Wa's hair.
Hei Wa, who was holding a small basin, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had done something wrong again.
He put the small basin in his hand aside, bent down and reached out to take the lid of the small jar from inside the big jar.
Fortunately, there is no water in the big tank, otherwise the lid of the small tank would get wet.
Of course, if the big tank is filled with water, the lid of the small tank will not fall into the big tank.
Because the tanks filled with water are covered with lids.
When Heiwa was about to take out the lid of the small vat from the big vat, his hand touched the edge of the vat, so the lid fell into the big vat again. Wind rose from the big vat and hit Heiwa.
His face felt cool.
Hei Wa, who was about to reach out and take out the lid of the small tank again, was stunned again, and then a look of understanding appeared on his face.
He quickly bent down and reached out again, picked up the pot lid and took it outside.
With a not too loud sound, the pot lid that had just been picked up fell into the vat again.
The only difference from the previous two drops is that this time Heiwa did it deliberately.
As the lid of the pot fell, some wind rose up from the vat again and blew on Hei Wa's face.
Like a child who has found a fun toy, Heiwa kept picking up the small tank cover and throwing it into the big tank.
The temperature at this time was already relatively low, and the wind rising from the big tank was a bit cold on the face, but Heiwa didn't care at all about it, and still did it happily, with a thick smile on his face.
smile.
Because he seems to have discovered something very remarkable, and this thing is related to the porcelain that he has always been thinking about!
After playing the game of throwing the cylinder lid for a while, Heiwa, who was full of smiles, put the lid of the small cylinder on top of the small cylinder. He didn't even need the small basin for water, and jumped out from here, and then smoke and dust billowed all the way.
They went to the pottery workshop.
After arriving at the pottery workshop, he couldn't wait to start mixing clay, and at the same time he couldn't help but think about the inspiration he just got...
Under the surprised gazes of everyone in the pottery workshop, a clay embryo gradually took shape in Hei Wa's hands.
This thing looks a lot like a big tank.
But unlike the big tank, this cylindrical mud embryo has no bottom.
And it's not like a normal large tank with a small bottom and a big belly. Instead, it's about the same thickness from top to bottom, and the whole thing is a hollow cylinder.
Facing the puzzled looks of everyone, Hei Wa, who admired his work and felt very satisfied, did not say anything more, but continued to make things with the reconciled clay.
This time what he created was even stranger.
It's exactly like a big round cake made of clay.
When doing this, Hei Wa was very serious. He held the stick that was measured on the clay embryo of the cylinder and kept comparing it.
At the end, Heiwa thought for a while and used a stick to make a round hole in the middle of the big round cake.
Hei Wa takes these two items with strange shapes but not too complicated seriously.
After the two are successfully shaped, a fire is lit to bake them. This is the rhythm of drying the two things as quickly as possible and then putting them in the kiln to be fired into pottery...
…
"Crash..."
Looking at the big round cake that was broken in front of him, with a stick installed in the middle for pushing and pulling, Hei Wa couldn't help but imitate the way Shen Zi acted, and sniffed.
Hei Wa didn't feel sorry at all for the big pottery round cake that he had worked so hard to bake to break into pieces.
The main reason is that this thing is too heavy, it is extremely laborious to push and pull, and it does not achieve the results I want.
Heiwa moved the broken pottery round cake to one side with his feet, and then went to find his spouse Zhuang, hoping that Zhuang would sew a pot lid for him and put it in the cylinder to push and pull it.
, so as to generate greater wind.
Zhuang was very dissatisfied with Heiwa's performance during this period, so his attitude towards Heiwa was not very good, and he was not very enthusiastic about what Heiwa said.
After living together for so many years, they are already very familiar with each other. Hei Wa naturally knows what his spouse is thinking.
Zhuang didn't need to say anything more, he was already working very intelligently.
After a lot of hard work, the tall Zhuang was as obedient to Heiwa as a kitten. Without Heiwa having to say anything, she happily went to make pot lids...
