Yang Yi's appearance brought too many surprises to the Xinghuo Tribe, but when everyone learned that he could make pottery, they were still very excited.
The chief of the Blackstone tribe didn't pay much attention to these things, and felt that nothing could be obtained faster than plundering.
Armed with great weapons and force, they can easily have what they want.
This is the idea of the chief and the militants who support him. Many people actually don't like killing, but they can only obey in that environment.
They are the 'underdogs' who are abandoned, robbed, not bound by that atmosphere and rules, and don't want their survival to depend on robbing others, they are tired of that kind of life.
What's more, they don't have this ability now.
Although the envoys brought powerful weapons, but the number is too small, the plundering is likely to bring casualties they cannot afford.
They want to rely more on themselves, just like the Blackstone tribe a long time ago.
The utensils that Yang Yi brought before were too strange and exquisite. Everyone thought they were gifts from gods and could not be created, but pottery was different!
The pottery is something they already own, something they can make, something that really belongs to them.
The envoy said that what God gave them would be taken back one day.
After the people who were injured and couldn't do too much heavy work learned about it, they also surrounded Yang Yi, with the thatch tied in their hands, and they didn't want to waste a little time.
To be honest, with so many people watching, Yang Yi, who was firing pottery for the first time, was really under a lot of pressure.
The method is to know that no one can guarantee whether it will be successful when it is practical.
Yang Yi carefully recalled the videos and tutorials he had watched before, and only then did he start with a plan in his mind.
There was quite a lot of yellow mud dug out last time when the well was dug, and the viscosity was also very good.
Just after a day, it has not been dried yet, just need to add a little water to stir it together.
"Envoy, can I try?" Mao saw that Yang Yi and Niba wanted to try too.
Jiao looked serious: "This is not for fun."
"It's okay, just follow me and learn together, so the speed will be faster." Yang Yi also hopes to teach them as soon as possible.
After hearing what Yang Yi said, everyone squatted beside the mud pile and got busy.
Yang Yi planned to use clay to build a kiln first, because it is just an experiment now, so the kiln is not big, and it is not as tall as a leg.
With so many people helping, it was done in no time.
There is no time to make a drawing machine, so now it can only be pinched by hand.
"First roll the soil into a ball, and then slowly knead it into a concave shape."
Yang Yi is actively expressing in words, his current oral English is still very bad, and he needs to speak more and practice more.
Knead the clay into a shallow flat-bottomed concave shape, and then knead the clay into strips and stick them in circles along the edge, so that a little bit of netting can make a rough pottery bowl.
After everyone understands how to make it, they no longer stick to bowls, but also pinch jars and so on.
After kneading the billet and drying it in the sun, it was put into the kiln, and the pottery was started to be fired.
Everyone was enthusiastic and made a lot of them. One kiln was not enough, so another one was built quickly.
With previous experience, this time the base is bigger, and it can hold a dozen bowls and jars of different sizes. Moreover, improvements have been made so that the firewood can burn more completely and vigorously.
It takes a while to burn pottery and cool it down. During this time, everyone is not idle, and uses the remaining clay to continue making kilns and kneading bowls and jars, without worrying about failure and wasting effort.
Yang Yiwang didn't stop it either, although he could wait for a better method later, but he didn't want these people to skip this primitive process.
Only by experiencing it step by step can you understand the principle and truly master this technique. Anyway, you won't waste too much time and materials.
It didn't stop until all the clay dug up before was used up.
Yang Yi didn't stare at this place all the time. After explaining the precautions to Jiao clearly, he went to check the progress of the construction of the thatched cottage.
Everyone's speed is very fast, the frames of many houses have been built, and the roofs are being thatched.
Today, time is tight and materials are insufficient, so there are not many thatched houses.
And only the roof can be made, and the four weeks will not be completed until tomorrow.
The house at the beginning was also quite tight, but you can sleep in a crowded place, and you are not afraid of freezing.
Seeing that the progress here is not bad, Yang Yi called two people.
"Kun, Teng, come with me with your engineering shovel."
When the two of them heard Yang Yi's call, their eyes lit up, and even approached, the others were envious.
"Envoy of God, is there something you want us to do!"
Kun said excitedly, he was the one who was remembered by the envoy of God and even sent the task himself!
Teng also quickly said: "Envoy, we are very strong and can do anything."
"Your task is very important." Yang Yi looked serious.
What is the most important thing to settle down
That must be the toilet!
People here defecate everywhere. The smell in the temporary camp was not very strong before. It was entirely because they were newcomers and there was nothing to defecate without food.
The food has been ready for the past two days, and this kind of problem comes.
Fortunately, they also knew that the taste was not good, so they ran a little farther.
But it's not too far away. It's very dangerous to go to the toilet alone in the wild.
Yang Yi urgently needs to seek refuge in the tribe. One of the reasons is that going to the toilet has become a dangerous thing, and if he is not careful, he will be bitten by poisonous insects!
He himself would not have traveled very far to solve the problem at that time, but he would know to bury it with soil later. He had to make a mark, so as not to hit the thunder next time, making him not in the mood to make delicious food.
Moreover, excrement can also be used for fertilization, so it must not be wasted.
There is no word for toilet here, and Yang Yi didn't explain much at first, but just took them to a corner away from the house.
"Dig a hole here, about this big, one person deep." Yang Yi roughly gestured.
Kun and Teng didn't say anything, they just started digging without even asking.
The two moved very quickly, especially Kun, who took advantage of being a fighter and swung quickly when digging. In addition, the land here was fertile and loose, and the big hole was dug quickly.
Yang Yi was not idle during the period, and moved all the wood and thatch needed for the construction.
Mao also slipped over to help, instead of continuing to play in the mud over there, he is now Yang Yi's little tail.
After Kun and Teng finished digging, Yang Yi and Mao also brought the materials over.
Four people started building together, the toilet doesn't need to be very big, so it's quick to build.
Put a few wrist-thick logs on the big pit, leave a space in the middle, and put your feet on both sides, just like the latrines in the countryside a long time ago.
In order to prevent someone from accidentally falling, there will be a little more wood placed.
But it was not fully paved, and they had too little wood to build a house.
After the construction was completed, Yang Yi found a rattan basket that was damaged during transportation, and filled it with plant ash and placed it in the toilet.
"What is this house for?" Mao asked.
The other two also looked unclear, and really couldn't see what this room could do.
"This is the toilet. You must go here if you want to excrete in the future. After each time, you have to sprinkle ash on it to bury it."
Yang Yi didn't have anything suitable for shoveling grass and ash, thinking that something must be broken when the pottery was fired, and he would be able to solve it with a piece of pottery.
The two big and one small look at each other, do you need a special place to go to the toilet? And in such a good house, the envoy is really too particular!
"As expected of being an envoy of God!" The three of them said in unison.
As the most active little trumpet around Yang Yi, Mao quickly spread the fact that their tribe has a "toilet" and the purpose of the toilet to everyone.
"If someone goes in, turn over the half of the wooden strip hanging by the door curtain. The round end is outside, and someone is there. If someone comes out, turn it back!"
Mao actively introduced every detail of the toilet.
In fact, the concept of taboo between men and women is not strong here. Yang Yi once saw a man and a woman doing things directly on the spot, and he has not yet established the shame that he later felt.
Seeing each other's private parts won't make you feel bad, no matter men or women, as long as they have a fancy for a certain opposite sex, they can go up and ask directly, as long as they are both willing, they can get together.
But it cannot be forced, and neither men nor women can have more than one partner at the same time. This is also to avoid conflicts and to prevent confusion of blood.
Yang Yi will not deliberately break this method at present, but will not allow people with the same blood to combine.
But he still couldn't get used to it himself, so in order to avoid being disturbed when he went to the toilet, he made such a rule.
After everyone listened to it, they all sighed at the same time, "As expected of being an envoy of God".
Only extraordinary people can think of so many things they have never thought of before.
It's not that they don't know about the smell, it's just that they're used to it and haven't thought about changing it. They didn't know until the envoy came, and it turned out to be okay.
Although it was very troublesome, everyone still accepted it, and Yang Yi didn't need any explanation.
The people of the Starfire Tribe now trust Yang Yi very much. Yang Yi often feels a little guilty for being too cautious. Many times he can come up with some tools to improve efficiency, but he doesn't do so.
It is still difficult for Yang Yi to completely let go of his guard against the people here, and he always has a kind of guard against outsiders.
Everyone was busy that day until it was completely dark. Before dinner, Yang Yi went to open the kiln that had cooled down.
Except for those who were on patrol, everyone surrounded them, waiting for this scene.
Opening the kiln door, Yang Yi looked inside and saw a broken pottery bowl, and his heart felt cold.
He took out the broken pottery bowl with two sticks, which drew cheers.
"It's Tao, it's really Tao!"
Yang Yi frowned slightly: "Unfortunately, it's broken."
"But we made it, didn't we! God really cares for us, we can make pottery by ourselves!"
Jiao excitedly held the pottery bowl that was so broken that only the bottom of the bowl was left, and knocked on it to hear the sound, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Some also picked up the fragments, intending to use them as decorations.
Yang Yi saw that they were so optimistic, and the pressure on them was not so great, so he went to pick up other pottery.
The second pottery bowl, is complete!
It worked!
It was rough, but they succeeded.
The third, the fourth...
The pottery was taken out one by one, some were damaged, but most of them were good!
Used to hold water, drip-tight.
Everyone cheered loudly and danced happily around the kiln.
"We have our own Tao! We have our own tribe!"
