The Pioneering Era of Crossing the Orc World - Chapter 40
Drink and wear live. First, I visited the Eagle Tribe and found that this tribe seemed to be isolated from the world, and a tribe miraculously lived under the cliff of ten thousand feet deep. Like the tiger tribes or other orc tribes, they live in caves. There are more people than Tiger Clan, more than 500 people. If he wanted to build a house, Xiahe looked around and felt that the entire world under the cliff belonged to the Eagle tribe, because apart from some wild things, no other tribe lived and acted under it.
There are enough ground and material. Everyone or every family builds a house. With the help of all the orcs, one can be built in seven to ten days. Even if there are 500 houses to be built, they may be completed before the cold winter. Even if they can’t be completed, that’s their business. Anyway, in Xia He’s plan, he only personally taught the process of building one house, and let them leave the rest. The people toss themselves. Of course, the iron knives and silk cloth that Xia He brought each of them were also given to them for use.
The preservation, use, and precautions of the fire, they have also taught each other from the Eagle tribe.
As for the parts to wear, there are no soft vines in the Eagle clan, and there is no fiber woven cloth that can replace the thread for a while, so I have to discuss with the clan chief Ming. I don’t have iron ore either. Let’s put aside this problem first, and then we will talk in detail.
It was also discovered that the Eagles were a bit weird, protruding from the eating side. Let’s talk about rice first. Every rice field is adjacent to a small river, and their fertilization is to use rice and some corroded grass blades. Due to the suitable climate, it is comparable to that of the south, and the four seasons of the year are distinct. There are still two kinds of rice, early rice and late rice. Xia He always feels that this way of growing rice is both familiar and unfamiliar. What is familiar is that it was cultivated like this in the past at home, but what is unfamiliar is that it is really horrifying to find such species and farming methods that are the same as the previous world in this world. .
What makes Xiahe very convulsive is that the Eagle Orcs eat rice and even the chaff together. They have seen them grab a handful of strong and full yellow rotten rice grains and put them in their mouths to chew. What a waste, uh, this is not the point, the important thing is that they don’t hurt their throats?
Unable to see them being so wasteful, Xiahe made a cylindrical wooden bucket with wooden blocks, put a few stones of the same weight in the bucket, put the bucket down, and separated the chaff and the rice grains on the ground in the manner of a grinding wheel. Refined. Chaff is also called bran, which can be used to feed livestock. Yes, I also plan to suggest that they raise some small livestock and poultry. Even if they don’t need grain chaff, they can exchange it for the tiger clan. The tiger clan needs it now.
Finally, it was agreed that if the Eagles need iron tools or thread cloth, ready-made clothing, they can exchange it with rice or grain chaff, or some other things. Because the eagle clan and the tiger clan are too far apart, the eagle clan had to carry the items to the tiger clan for exchange.
Ming arched his hands on his back, watching the desolate and defeated tribe undergoing great changes step by step, grateful and relieved, his face overflowing with vicissitudes and wrinkles, and his gratitude for Xia He’s help is endless. !
“Patriarch Ming, how about it, are you satisfied with the changes in the tribe? Or can you tell me what needs to be improved.” Xia He said.
“Hehe, it’s fine now. If you need He’s help, I don’t know if you can find him in the future?” Ming changed his attitude towards Xia He when he first saw him. He hadn’t thought of changing the competition between the tiger clan and his clan before. Is a weak female.
“Of course you can, but I might have to trouble you guys flying around…”
When the two were talking, they came over with a smile on their faces and interrupted their conversation.
“He, look at the mud. Although the color is different from the ones I’ve seen before, it’s all sticky!” He violently wrapped a small pile of mud with a big leaf and handed it to Xia He.
The soil is black, there is no sand to remove, and the viscosity is better than the loess seen before. Xia He smiled, “Well, the pottery bowl made from these mud is much harder than the last time we saw the loess.”
“Meng, where did you find this clay? It’s not very far from here, right?” Xia He asked.
He shook his head violently and said, “Not far away, just below the cliff where we came and close to the flowing water. There is a lot of dirt in that place!”
Uh, when? Xia He was embarrassed and didn’t see any scenery when he came. He closed his eyes and screamed, and the only thing that could be sensed was the gust of wind blowing in his ears. After that, he couldn’t say anything because he passed out.
The Ming who was squandered to the side was inexplicable, and seeing what they were talking about was completely unintelligible, and couldn’t help asking. “He, what’s wrong with this mud? Are you looking for this black mud? We have a lot of eagles.”
“Hey, this is not the case. This black clay can be burned into a clay bowl or a clay pot. With these, you can cook soup, cook rice, stir-fry, or use a clay pot to make wine and food. In short, it has a lot of effects and is in daily life. I need to go to China.” I originally wanted to return to the Tiger Clan to try firing pottery, but now I have a place to try it.
Hearing loudly, “He, the bowl you said?…”
“Hey, you’ll understand when the fire is out, Patriarch Ming! Ah, now I’ll look at it, and when I see it when I see it, Patriarch Ming, you can just wait for the acceptance. Meng, let’s go and see.” He couldn’t wait to pull fiercely, asking him to lead the way.
Sure enough, looking around, the black clay was all close to the river at the foot of the cliff. There were very few weeds growing on the soil. Because it was similar to the river water, the clay was more sticky than the river. Immediately asked a few orcs from the Meng and Tiger clan to build a kiln. According to Xiahe’s instructions, dig a shallow hole of about ten centimeters in the ground, surrounded by stones, more than one meter high, under one side. A mouth is exposed, specially used to increase branches and put pottery broken bodies.
After the kiln was built, ten tiger orcs and a large group of eagle females all came to learn how to make pottery. From the beginning to the end, Xiahe had to perform them by himself, and they had to learn every step, because when he returned to his tribe, he planned to let them teach the tribe directly.
When they were holding hands, the clan chief Ming also asked all the free females in the clan to learn. After all, even Meng, they all play with the mud in their poses. It is extremely important to think that the last pottery made here is extremely important.
Xia He asked the orcs to dig up the clay and put it out overnight to drain the excess water. On the second day, in the shady place under the mountain, there was a crowd of people, mainly females of the Eagle tribe, and their males had already started to build houses. I haven’t touched the soil in the tentacle for too long, so after mixing the clay to be used, I took a piece of clay and tried it first.
Turning the clay with both hands, slowly, a mud-shaped water cup appeared. I looked at it a bit twisted, but at least it didn’t split. It’s okay to pay attention when pinching it below.
After everyone was stunned, they exclaimed that a piece of dirty and black soil in the dock can also be squeezed into a shape. If it is burned with fire as Xiahe said, it will be strong, and you can drink water and hold rice grains!
Afterwards, they all rushed to learn how to cook pottery. Using the techniques taught by Xiahe, they fabricated ceramic bowls, clay pots, washbasins, pots for cooking, small water cups, etc., of uneven sizes. All kinds of strange shapes.
While waiting for the clay-shaped pottery to dry and knead, the kiln burned fiercely for two nights and one day, and after the next day, the kiln was completely red. Holding the temperature is ok, put all the squeezed pottery in gently. The next step is to burn the fire and wait, and ask someone to pick up the dry branches. Unfortunately, there is no immortal firewood here, only a lot of dry firewood is prepared.
At night, ask two orcs to guard by the furnace. He walked over and asked Xia He, “He, how long will it take to burn it to become a pottery?”
Xia He looked at the fire in the kiln, “With this temperature, it will take two or three days.”
“Haha, not much. He, do you know that, when Ye first saw you, you invited him to have breakfast, and you took the pottery bowl to drink porridge. Ye said he would never forget the feeling of holding the bowl in his hand, and said They should eat like that instead of grabbing them with their hands. He doesn’t know, when you usually go out, Ye still mischievously goes to your house to carry a bowl, even if there is no rice in it, he is happy.” Meng Meng Thinking of the lover, the female said with a doting smile.
Before, Xia He would surely see a man with this expression all over his body, but not now, but he would be very happy for Ye, there is a man who loves him so much. Can’t help but think of Chi, I don’t know how Chi is now. Chi also often showed a similar smile to Xia He, and now he hasn’t seen it for nearly two months, so I miss it so much!
He glanced at Xia He’s expression violently, and said, “He, you go back first, here I and Ye Shou.”
Xia He nodded silently and walked to Xin’s cave.
Turning around and unable to sleep, Xia He opened two bright eyes in the dark. He was thinking about family affairs in his head, and if he didn’t think about it like that, he wouldn’t miss them so much. He doesn’t know if he has any more meat. Will Chi help him cover the quilt at night? Although it is very hot summer, they live in a stone house, especially when He sleeps naked at night. Xia He is worried about the cold To the belly. Xia He also confessed to Chi when he went out. Chi was so obedient to him, he would probably go to cover He with a quilt.
And the rabbits and pheasants in the family have increased again? He, this little kid, often leads the other four little orcs to trap in the mountains. Rabbits or beautiful pheasants that have been hunted are kept and are not allowed to be slaughtered.
Also, there is Chi who likes to smile silly at him. He doesn’t get fat after eating so much meat at every meal. I am really worried that he will be thinner when he goes back.
Chi, Chi, Xia He closed his eyes and screamed silently, really miss him, really miss him! I miss him for his tolerance and care for himself, miss his embrace, miss his fiery mouth, and miss him the extreme comfort he brings to himself!
