"Ling'er is learning medicine from the veterinarian, so I can naturally learn a little bit. Third brother, no matter how busy you are, you must take care of yourself and stop staying up all night."
The orcs didn't know what dark circles were, so Hu Jiaojiao made up an excuse.
She didn't want her third brother to tire himself out over this, which would be a waste of time and effort.
Hu Qinglu scratched his head awkwardly, "I understand, little sister. I will listen to you from now on."
He always obeys Hu Jiaojiao's words.
Long Mo was left out and interrupted abruptly:
"The male's body is not so delicate."
Hu Qinglu, however, had a shameless expression as if to say "My little sister says I'm weak, so I am weak". He pulled Hu Jiaojiao to the underside of the wall and excitedly lifted up a piece of animal skin.
"Little sister, you came at the right time. I have made some new things recently. Let me show you if there is anything you like."
He remembered that when he was a child, the whole tribe disliked the useless things he made.
Only his younger sister was happy to see this and encouraged him to keep doing what he liked. Unfortunately, he still couldn't stick to it.
It was not until now, when he could contribute to the tribe by doing these things, that he came back to life.
"What?"
Fox Jiaojiao looked curious.
She looked down and saw a row of neatly arranged pottery jars of various shapes under the animal skin.
These pottery jars were all khaki or dark brown in color and looked like the simplest coarse pottery. Even so, Hu Jiaojiao was shocked.
"Third brother, did you make this?" Hu Jiaojiao turned around and asked Hu Qinglu in surprise.
She originally wanted to make pottery.
But there were enough stones before, and the orcs had no shortage of containers. What they lacked was the more important food, so it was left aside and there was no time to make it.
Hu Qinglu nodded somewhat proudly and said with a smile:
"Yes, little sister, take a look. If you like any of them, take them back and use them. This thing can not only hold food, but also water and hot soup!"
"It's much lighter than a stone, even a female can pick it up easily."
He wants to share all the good things with his younger sister as soon as possible.
Hu Qinglu said as he explained:
"I thought that what you said about clay being able to be made into blue bricks, which are better than stone, should also be able to be made into other styles. I didn't expect that it would actually be fired successfully."
"Third brother, you are so awesome." Hu Jiaojiao's eyes were like the moon, and she praised generously.
He was playing with two ceramic cups in his hands.
She hadn't touched anything other than stone tools for a long time, and even the items she used at home were all made of stone.
She didn't want to rely too much on space unless there was danger.
If the supplies in the space disappear one day, she will have to survive here.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's praise, Hu Qinglu suddenly felt a little elated.
"Little sister, whatever kind you like, your third brother will make it for you. This is much easier to fire than blue bricks and it's very simple." He said, patting his chest.
Hu Jiaojiao did not discourage his enthusiasm. She picked out two things that looked like water cups and handed them to Long Mo.
"Thank you, Third Brother. These two are just right for us to drink water."
She scratched Long Mo's arm as if it were hair.
When Long Mo heard the word "we", he immediately felt happy and raised his eyebrows at Hu Qinglu.
look!
The most important thing in Jiaojiao's heart is me.
Hu Qinglu rolled his eyes and resisted the urge to snatch the ceramic cup back from Long Mo.
"Third brother, what's the name of this thing?" Hu Jiaojiao's voice pulled him back.
"I haven't chosen a name yet, so you can choose one, little sister."
Hu Qinglu scratched his head. He just liked to do it and was not good at naming things.
What a great feeling!
Fox Jiaojiao had long been tortured by all the strange names in the world of beasts. Seeing this, she opened her mouth and said:
"How about calling it pottery?"
"This big one, like a stone jar, is called a pottery jar, and the small one is a pottery bowl..."
She pointed at the various shapes of pottery and tried her best to identify their original appearance.
"Ceramic jar? Okay! Let's call it that." Hu Qinglu's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
Hu Jiaojiao found many fingerprints on it, and guessed that Hu Qinglu probably made it purely by hand, so she told him the method of making the roulette wheel.
When Hu Qinglu heard this, he suddenly felt like he was injected with chicken blood.
"There's such a thing? Jiaojiao, you're really smart. With this roulette wheel, the pottery you make will be even more beautiful!"
He felt excited just thinking about it.
"Third brother, you should try using different clays. I heard that there are many plants in the forest that can be used for dyeing. You can make pottery with different colors."
Hu Jiaojiao told Hu Qinglu her thoughts one by one.
Ceramics, ceramics, now that we have pottery, is porcelain far behind
Hu Qinglu listened attentively and felt like he had stepped into a whole new world. His mind became much clearer.
Countless new ideas suddenly emerged.
He held Hu Jiaojiao's hand and said excitedly:
"Little sister, you are really a blessing to Third Brother! Your brain works faster than the sun, and you have helped Third Brother a lot!"
Hou Xiaotiao and other orcs who were listening nearby were confused.
No one understands why Hu Qinglu is so excited.
But seeing that he was happy, they knew it was not a bad thing, so they all smiled foolishly.
After Hu Qinglu finished speaking, he rushed out to find new clay, and the orcs couldn't stop him.
Fortunately, the firing of blue bricks has come to an end and it will not delay the main work.
Long Mo looked at the direction where Hu Qinglu left and couldn't help but ask:
"Has Hu Qinglu always been this crazy?"
He remembered that Hu Qinglu was not like this before.
"Third brother should really like these." Hu Jiaojiao said with some sigh.
Long Mo could understand the word "like". After hearing this, he understood.
If it's for Jiaojiao, he can do even crazier things.
"Hu Qinglu didn't like to talk before, but he has been talking a lot more recently since he has been with us." Hou Xiaotiao explained on the side.
Compared with his other brothers, Hu Qinglu's personality is a bit eccentric. Except for Hu Jiaojiao and his brothers, he basically doesn't like to talk to other orcs.
Now things have really changed a lot.
Hu Jiaojiao was naturally happy about this change.
After learning about the firing process of blue bricks with Hou Xiaotiao, Hu Jiaojiao and Long Mo went back and told the clan leader about it.
The chieftain was still waiting in the females' cave.
I feel a little disappointed to hear that it is impossible to build a house in winter.
Feng Sheng and her people didn't care. Instead, they waved their hands and said:
"Chief, please don't bother us. We don't have enough food, warm clothes, or good sleep outside. Now we have a cave to live in, which is good enough."
"Chief, we are grateful for the food, drink and clothes you provide us. How could we possibly despise you?"
After drinking the medicine and hot soup, they felt much warmer and had more strength.
They all stood up to thank the patriarch.
Seeing their sincere and righteous expressions, the clan leader was filled with emotion.
Fengsheng’s people are indeed open-minded!
Only then did he leave with peace of mind.
After Hu Jiaojiao conveyed the message, she also went home with Long Mo.
Soon Fengsheng and her people were the only ones left in the cave.
As soon as the tribe leader and Fox Jiaojiao left, the females instantly formed a circle and started talking in a buzz, like ants gathering around honey.
“This tribe is so big!”
"Did you hear that? The females in their tribe don't even have to live in caves during the winter!"
