This kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive thing has to be really made, and only after the people in the tribe see and understand that this thing is easy to use can they mobilize manpower to make it.
As for the issue of manpower distribution, there is no such thing as you can immediately replace the position of the leader if you bring a few new things, that is too taken for granted.
The power should either be transferred peacefully, or the leader should be killed to take over, which would be faster. But now there are only 50 people in the entire tribe, there is no need to do this, after all, Chen Chao has already stood at the highest point in the world.
Chao Chen chuckled, "You thought I was at the bottom, but I was actually at the top." ’ Just thinking about the current situation, he sighed softly. Even if these 50 people are turned around, there is no way to step into modern civilization in one step. It can only speed up the progress of human civilization cultivation as much as possible.
Unlock more new populations and absorb them in. Didn't the Wudang Mountain tree tribe recover before...
But today there is no way to burn it again, after all, it takes time to dry in the shade. Super Chen made some more mud, added some water, and started rubbing the mud with Cyclops, Wu and Huang Yan.
Now that he has a helper, Chen Chao plans to make more, then dig a bigger pit, burn more at a time, and burn some other more practical things.
Chen Chao first took out some mud from the pit, and in order to teach three people at the same time, he deliberately slowed down some movements.
This time he tried to make a pottery pot. After all, the pottery pot with two pieces put together as before is not sure whether it will be durable, but since it can really be fired, then just burn a whole one.
He first made the mud into lumps, and then directly made a big one. Knead the mud together just like kneading noodles, and then pat and rub.
After repeating several times to make sure they were familiar, Super Chen signaled to other people to grab the small clod from the big clod if needed.
And this time, it is not as casual as the previous ones, and this time it mainly uses the method of building wire rods with mud.
That is to rub the mud strips first. Chen Chao takes a small piece of the cooked mud and kneads it into a mud ball. First, with one hand and then both hands, he rubs the mud ball with the palm of the operating board to form a mud stick that meets the requirements.
Then he stopped for a while and tilted his neck, and found that the mud strips rubbed in the hands of the three people, the old, the middle and the young, also stopped, and tilted their necks.
Chen Chao? ?
I'm just a little tired... After all, it's a bit tiring to rub the mud strips directly after finishing the work, and my neck is a little sore. Let me move my neck~~~It's not a necessary mysterious ritual for pottery~~~
When he thought of rubbing mud in the tribe in the future, he would twist his neck...
That picture is too beautiful to imagine...
But Super Chen didn't correct them right away, mainly because he couldn't understand the language and couldn't let go of the matter at hand to make gestures, so he gave up correcting them...
So...
...
Chen Chao checked whether the mud strips of the old, middle and young people were even in thickness, and the diameter was about 1 cm. Here, 1 cm is tentatively defined as the length of a fingernail of an adult.
Then you can start to make the bottom of the tank. Take one end of a mud strip as the center and coil it tightly, and use sticky mud to smooth out the gaps in the bottom of the tank.
The next step is to make the tank body, put a strip of mud on the bottom of the tank in turn, and then use your fingers to stick a little clay on the inner wall of the tank body to smooth out the gaps between the mud strips and strengthen them to the height you designed. .
The same method was used to make the lid of the pot, because when Chao Chen was stewing the fish soup just now, he found that it was more difficult to boil directly without a lid, and it would consume more wood.
What Chen Chao made this time was a straight clay pot. He originally planned to make a pot with a big belly, but since he is not very skilled at the moment, and there are three apprentices to take with him, he should be on the safe side.
This time, I squeezed a few handles deliberately, but when sticking them, we should wet the joints with water, so that they can be firmer.
After finishing making straight pots with three apprentices, Chen Chao let them play freely, but he himself tried to make a pot-bellied amphora. Looking at the clay embryo with no patterns, it was a bit boring.
There were still some small mud strips left on the side. Chen Chao designed some shapes, and then used his finger to dip a little water on the sticking part of the can body. After sticking the small mud strips, he nodded in satisfaction.
Turning around to look, the old, the middle and the young have also completed their respective works. Wu and Cyclops both made a straight clay pot with two ears, and only Huang Yan squeezed out a strange shape.
But Chen Chao didn't say anything, he still needs to have a sense of innovation!
Invite everyone to take these 6 straight amphora pots, and the matching lids, as well as 1 pot-bellied amphora with its lid, and a strange shape... I don’t know what it is, and take them to the cave together Dried in the shade.
This time, the shade was enough, and it was shaded for three to five days. I don’t know if the one that cracked last time did not have enough time to dry in the shade, or there is something wrong with the method...
As for the big pottery pit, it’s not too late to dig after the batch of pottery embryos have dried in the shade, or let Huang Yan take the children in the tribe who don’t need to collect them to dig during the day. Although it is slow, it will take several days. , there should be no problem.
Wu also specially sent One Eye to sleep near Tao Yu, and did not allow other people in the tribe to approach here. He also specially explained to Yuan that children are not allowed to come here to play around. If these things are destroyed, they will all be kicked out of the tribe!
In the evening, Chao Chen used the remaining two straight clay pots to stew two pots of fish soup, one of which belonged to Chao Chen, the leader Yuan and Wu, and the remaining pot was for the other adult men to taste.
Everyone has no opinion on this matter. After all, this thing was made by others, and the leaders Yuan and Wu are originally the highest level of this tribe.
As for the cracked clay pot, Wu was not willing to throw it away, but put it away carefully.
At night, the only sound in the tribe is the crackling of the bonfire outside the cave, and the walking of two old men on watch.
In fact, to say that they are old people is only relative to the lifespan of primitive people and the young age of the tribe.
According to the current calculation, he should be in his early forties, but now, he is already considered very old.
Although the hair is completely white, it is not a problem to just watch the night in front of the cave entrance.
And now they can go fishing during the day, mainly because they don't have to go hunting and gathering, and there is no physical labor during the day, so when necessary, they can catch up on sleep during the day.
And they also need to take care of the fire at night to keep the fire alive.
Although the people in the tribe have already learned how to make fire by drilling wood, it is still too troublesome. It is better to let these elderly people who have nothing to do to take care of the fire.
Wu hadn't slept yet. He was sitting in front of the cave, looking at the cracked pottery pot over and over in front of the fire, only to hear him say softly, "Clay pot, made of clay."
And from time to time draw something on the floor with stones...
