Orcs’ Time Through Time - Chapter 68

The pottery that I burned this time, because I put a feldspar glaze on the outside that I am not sure about, the burnt out is very smooth, the surface looks like a layer of porcelain, and even has some glass texture.

Although I don’t know if the recipe I put together from my memory is correct according to the things I heard about glaze in porcelain, but the burned glaze is indeed more beautiful than the single stoneware in the past. Much.

Perhaps because the glaze is mixed with impurities, the glaze is not a pure color, but some red and other colors are mixed together, showing a style of ink painting.

Although the paintings I drew for the children seem to be a little fuzzy in the burnt glaze texture, but fortunately, the black charcoal carved out the texture is still relatively clear, although it looks more colorful, but it is better at any rate. Successful, and it is more precious when everyone sees this thing for the first time.

Luo Lei touched the pot that was very smooth to the touch. It was unbelievable. He said he had never seen such a pottery before.

As for the others, of course I have never seen it. Think about it, it seems that when they burn pottery, Gunan and others pay special attention to the purity of the clay, and they want to remove all impurities. Now there are not many places where pottery can be burned, so naturally everyone did not expect that there is such a thing as glaze.

If I hadn’t seen this thing, I probably wouldn’t have thought of such a thing.

Although I am not very satisfied with what I burned this time, it is still a big improvement, and the people in the tribe are very happy. Especially when I saw that these pottery wares were more beautiful than those made by the Xingzu people, and they were not easy to seep water, I liked them even more. Some people even said that it would be nice to show it to the Xingzu people.

Because it is bricklaying and tiling, the basic structure of the house has been built long ago, so the construction of our house is relatively fast. Half of the males in the clan were responsible for hunting and harvesting, and the other half worked with me to build bricks and tiles. By the beginning of November, almost all the houses were completed.

All the houses are the same with one living room and four bedrooms, with corridors at the front and back. There is a yard next to it. From the top of the slightly higher valley, lined up on both sides of the stream, the blue bricks and blue tiles are very old in the style of the ancient village in my memory.

Because the stream is not wide, it is just a slab bridge built between two parallel households with double-layer planks to build on the stream for everyone to pass by. And this two-meter-wide stream is the source of everyone’s daily drinking water.

I also remind everyone that since it is drinking water, everyone should pay attention to it. This water can only be used for drinking and lifting. Contaminate the water that others drink.

Everyone probably knows that it is not good to drink dirty water to others, so they all nodded in agreement.

Our house is at the highest point, but there is no house on the opposite side, because we are at the second top of the slope. The first top is the big room we made for the clan for storing things and meetings, and There is almost nothing on the other side of the big house, and the other side of our house is too small to make a house.

I like the terrain very much and I am very satisfied with it.

And everyone knows that I need to do things. Our family has many children. Not only do we make our house bigger, it has six bedrooms and two living rooms, so Rona and Ari can sleep separately. Later, some of the blue bricks could not be used up, and everyone helped me put them on the floor of the two halls of our house. Although other people’s houses are still uneven for the time being, the stone ground used to lay the foundation, but our hall is at least paved with blue bricks, and it is more comfortable to walk up.

In the winter, we burned bricks and cement several times, and laid blue bricks on the floor of every household, which looked clean and flat, and did not stubbornly.

Now, we have finished the house, the simple furniture has been finished, and even the winter reserves have been allocated, and everyone has been allocated two new cowhides and some scattered fur. Winter will follow.

The winter here is earlier than that of the Hindus, although the difference may be only about ten days. In our words, probably, here is closer to the north than the Hindus.

The house was built and the preparations for the winter were ready. Simple furniture was ready for use. We gave our clan a new name. Although we thought about it, we finally named the new clan. However, we also Celebrated for this.

We now have enough food to eat, and we have enamel pottery that is better than stoneware to use. Since the first time we successfully fired a lot of pots and bowls, we have fired them for every household. There were several large water tanks and basins, and there were also sturdy houses made of bricks and tiles, and the tribe was surrounded by pointed wooden fences that were taller than people.

In winter, we are almost living a normal life.

The current tribe is moving upwards along the terrain, and each floor is almost half a meter high. Now our square is not in the middle of the clan, but on the most expansive floor in front of the clan.

Although this layer is currently the lowest point of the entire tribe, in fact, even this layer is still three to four meters high from the plain.

And in this place, the elevation of the terrain is more rapid than in other places. Therefore, after a little modification, the height of this stream from here to the plain becomes a small waterfall.

For this small waterfall, I also specially asked everyone to make a small pool under the waterfall. After this small pool was built, I thought of another idea.

In the past, we used manpower or cows to grind things. However, cows are sometimes too busy, and water is such a natural, environmentally friendly and pollution-free thing, so we don’t need to use it for nothing.

So while everyone has nothing to do in the winter, I also suggest that everyone build a waterwheel together.

Although you have never heard of such things as waterwheels, they have heard that they can be used to replace cows and carts for grinding, and maybe they can also be used for pounding wheat. I plan to use them for pounding rice in the future, and I am very happy.

Based on my memory and imagination, while making plans on the sand table on the ground, I have discussed with Luo Lei and Canaan from time to time. One end can be used as a mill and the other can be used for pounding rice. The waterwheel is basically formed.

Although it is still not sure whether it will be successful, everyone also relies on this and even spends on the design drawing. The parts needed by the waterwheel are made of wood, and the raw lacquer is painted and ready to be reserved for use, even on both sides. The houses where the mills and pounding rice are used are already standing on both sides of the small pool.

In winter, there is little water in the stream, and it’s just time to set up a waterwheel.

Temporarily lead the water in the stream through two small canals to the canals that have surrounded the plain for a week and are connected to the canals in the depression. We set up the beams for the waterwheel on both sides of the small pool, installed the waterwheel used to raise the water in the middle, and connected the wooden shaft in the middle of the waterwheel to the stone mills and grind hammers made on both sides. Basically The two mills operating at the same time took shape.

Although the process cannot be described in detail, it took a lot of effort for us to do this well.

Even trying to use a wooden shaft to drive the stone mill and pebbles to work normally, we spent a lot of time experimenting.

But overall, it was finally done. During the formal water release experiment, Hongda and Lukas, who were asked to drive the water mill’s first rotation, were also covered with water.

Fortunately, relying on the memory that I had only seen his deeds, we actually succeeded.

Although we still need to make a stone mill and a stone roller on the square to thresh and hull the wheat and millet, we also made a grain raising machine to raise the husk of the wheat, and also made a sieve to sieve the grain.

However, since then, we pound the wheat and grind the flour, in fact, through the mills that have been running slowly, but have been working constantly.

When the waterwheel was ready, a lot of snow fell in the sky. The few children in the clan were so happy that they couldn’t remember going home when they played with each other in the snow.

If it hadn’t been for my parents to take them back one by one, it is estimated that our tribe would have had several colds.

Regardless of the overall situation, everyone is very happy.

Winter means that we can rest and begin to enjoy the fruits of the year’s labor.

Although I did not rest, I still thought of a very traditional and happy holiday-New Year.

I am here, it is impossible to calculate when the Spring Festival is here.

But based on observations here, I also know that there are almost 40 hours a day here, and then a cycle of almost 360 days. The so-called basic laws of the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, and winter solstice are also connected to the earth.

In the past few years, I have carefully observed the law of reincarnation here, and I have also recorded the time of this year’s autumn equinox and winter solstice.

So I probably also know that the new year is coming.

I don’t know how to calculate the Spring Festival. After all, the Chinese calendar is too complicated for me. But I will still count the New Year.

Seeing that everyone had nothing to do throughout the winter, everyone was just busy doing things all year long, and even the harvest festival was just the beginning of doing things.

I suddenly got an idea-over new

The author has something to say:

October X, Second Year of the New Calendar

Although I don’t want to admit it, my belly seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

I think about it, I really haven’t eaten anything lately, and with the clear soup here, there really shouldn’t be a young general’s belly, and I started to get a little worried.

Although Luo Lei was very happy, I still felt that something was wrong.

First of all, I am getting tired more and more easily now. My current unique job is to doze off while sitting, and if it is not for the needs of the tribe, I do not want to move, even my brain is no longer good.

Luo Lei always said, I’ll take a good rest at home when I’m tired. If there is anything, I will tell him what to do and he will do it. Even if I told him that my brain was not working well, he just touched my hair and told me that everything was okay. It was a lie to think that.

In fact, I still realized that what Ayuan said may be true.

Ayuan now comes to our house once a day and gives me some strange decoctions, saying that it is to nourish the body.

The high priest also came to see me several times on crutches, although he did not dare to get too close to me until now. But he has already started taking two apprentices A Rui and A Que. Luo Lei told me that the high priest said that he wanted to tell A Rui and A Que what he knew, so that they could treat the people of the tribe in the future. The medical skills passed on.

Although I sometimes laughed at the high priest and Ayuan who didn’t know who was great, and didn’t really like what the high priest did in the past, so I’m not enthusiastic about him now, but for his medical skills and how he treats the tribe. Heart, I still agree. Even A Yuan sometimes said that the high priest is indeed a senior, and he knows a lot. So we also rest assured that A Rui and A Que will learn from him.

Just to my stomach, no matter who said it was okay, I couldn’t believe it.

I have seen a three-month belly. When Aman is lucky, I will visit him almost every day. His belly is definitely not as big as mine.

Although Ayuan has repeatedly said that I have no problem, and Luo Lei also said that the high priest also said that Griffon’s children are older than other children. I still feel that a society without B-ultrasound and X-rays is too inconvenient!

My belly is about half larger than Aman’s. Maybe by six months, my belly will increase. I am worried about whether I will be able to walk and how to give birth to a child of this age.
