He came out to dig the earth and make a kiln.
The soil for making fired ore must be able to withstand high temperatures. It is necessary to use yellow mud with good adhesion. This kind of mud can only be dug in places with rivers. When the turf is dug up, the mud underneath should be much moister and finer. It is a good yellow mud.
He dug a whole basket of yellow mud and dumped it outside the cave, and then turned back to dig. After running like this four or five times, a large pile of mud piled up outside the cave.
The back basket was already covered with mud, so he simply threw it aside, and while he was covered in mud, he jumped straight into the yellow mud, and stepped on the mud with uneven hardness and humidity, so that not only could the mud be reconciled, It can also squeeze out the air in the mud. If there is too much air, there will be large holes in the mud, which will explode after burning for a long time.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Qiu Juan looked at the male who was trampling on the mud like a mud monkey, and couldn't help laughing, "Are you just going to teach me how to play with mud?"
"This is no joke."
"Then do you want me to help you?"
"Don't come here!" The mud is icy, it's not much better than stepping in the snow, the two are combined, although Qiu Juan's physical fitness is good, but the current resistance is definitely not as good as usual, and he has already gone out for a lap Son, if people step on the mud again and get cold at that time, it will be hard for everyone.
It's not easy to feel cold in winter, not to mention that there is no cure for the disease at the moment.
Qiu Juan was a little unhappy when he was rejected, so he practiced archery at the entrance of the cave with his bow and arrow in hand. The bow and arrow in his hand were made by Meng Sheng out of Huang Zhuxin. The arrow went out and hit a big bird.
Just as he was about to run out, he was stopped by Luo He: "Don't run around today, just stay in the cave and enjoy the fire."
Luo threw two pieces of wood into the stove, went forward, and snatched his bow and arrow.
"Mother!"
"It doesn't stop all day long, and I don't know what's going on with me."
Qiu Juan blushed, his mother was doing as usual, he thought she didn't know, and he tried his best to behave as usual, but he didn't expect that he was still tossing himself.
He didn't go out to pick it up, but ran back to the stove in a despondent manner, and took out the burnt charcoal that Meng Sheng had told him earlier with a wooden stick.
Luo put Qiu Juan's bow and arrow in his small cave, and he didn't plan to let anyone touch it for the time being.
"Mother knows."
Luo looked at the food in the pot: "Do you know the smell of grass and trees all over your body?"
Qiu Juan sniffed subconsciously, maybe because he was stuck with Meng Sheng every day, he was used to the smell of grass and trees on the male body, and he hadn't noticed it for a while.
"It's nothing. They both live together. It would be strange if they didn't." Luo said, with a trace of surprise in his eyes: "I was a little worried that Meng Sheng's weak breath would not be able to cover Kong Jia's breath. I didn’t expect that there was nothing left.”
I don't know whether the breath left by the blood breath is not as strong as the breath left by the life-long union, or because Meng Sheng is stronger than Kong Jia.
But no matter what, this is a good thing, Qiu Juan got the best affiliation.
She looked out of the cave, and said in a low voice: "You will be with Meng Sheng from now on, don't be shy, and don't wear away your serious business."
Qiu Juan was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
"This couple, after finally getting together, don't just think that everything will be fine. The male is much more relieved, but the female and the subfemale are different. They have to face the matter of reproduction. The female It's easy to say, it's easy to give birth to a female, but it's not easy for a female." Luo earnestly said: "Meng Sheng likes you now, but after a long time, when you meet new faces, you will always be unable to restrain yourself. If a child holds the heart of a male, then the male will easily get confused."
Qiu Juan frowned.
"Don't blame your mother for saying this to scare you shortly after you lived together. Your mother is someone who has experienced it and will not lie to you. You must know it."
Of course he knew that his mother was doing it for his own good, and these words really sounded a wake-up call for him. He has been immersed in the good times recently, and he has almost forgotten his huge shortcomings. Although Meng Sheng promised his whole life, let alone Whether it can be done or not, if he can't reproduce for him, he will feel guilty if he doesn't say it.
"Okay, don't be in a hurry. In short, don't be like today. Just get married and just jump around casually. Take care of your body. Put your bow and arrow in my room for two days first, don't make a fuss with it."
Qiu Juan narrowed his eyes: "I see."
After stepping on the mud, Meng Sheng carried the big bird shot by Qiu Juan in his hand. When he entered the cave, he found that Ya Nu was holding fire coals honestly. He leaned over and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"No."
Meng Sheng smiled and said nothing: "Here, your prey is roasted, and it's a lunchtime snack."
Qiu Juan honestly took over and dealt with it.
Luo ladled some hot water from another stone pot into the big bamboo tube: "Meng Sheng, go and wash quickly, the mud is uncomfortable."
Meng Sheng hurried over to take the gourd scoop from the female's hand: "I'll come, mother."
Luo was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't hide the gentle smile on her face. This sudden change of words made her elated: "Okay, I'll go wash up and come back to eat."
After lunch, Meng Sheng continued to pound the yellow mud. First, he took some of the yellow mud and put it on a round bottom. Then, he used the yellow mud to form strips as thick as an arm and put them on the round bottom to form a two-foot circle. Finally, a hole the size of an adult's fist was dug out at the bottom, and two small bamboo tubes of about four inches were connected to the upper edge, and then a large bamboo tube twice the size was placed on the other side of the bamboo tube, and then fixed with yellow mud. .
In this way, there are two yellow mud piles with bamboo tubes as the bottom, and one yellow mud pile with yellow mud as the bottom, and then continue to pile up the mud.
Qiu Juan came out of the cave and saw the male with his heart on the rubbing mud. He was idle and asked, "Do you want me to help?"
Meng Sheng raised his head and glanced at him, his hands kept moving: "Why don't you practice archery anymore?"
Yayu squatted down beside him, drooping her head: "Mother took it away, she won't let me practice arrows."
"Are you suing me?"
"I'm not a child."
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the people, he asked Ya Nu to help pile up the yellow mud. The two of them cooperated, and their hands and feet were much faster. After half an hour, the yellow mud had accumulated to the height of half a person, and a simple fire stove was formed.
The principle of this construction is that the large pure yellow mud stove is used to smelt copper ore, while the other two use bamboo tubes as cores to fill the air. Smelting copper ore requires super high temperature, and it will take a long time to burn it with charcoal alone. It is very slow, and the wind has to be poured to increase the temperature.
"Enough?"
He found two wooden sticks, welded two pieces of wood on the bottom that could be stuffed into the bamboo tube, and then put them into the yellow mud bamboo tube stove, pulled his hands up and down, and said to Qiu Juan beside him: "You put your hands on the big fire stove. superior."
"It's windy!" Qiu Juan said in surprise.
Hearing this, he pulled out the wooden stick: "That's fine."
"I'm going to pick up the stones I saw today."
