Chapter 23 Changes
Everyone rushed to the front of the kiln door and found that the utensils placed in circles seemed to be very different at the beginning, but the color changed significantly, the color was dark and red, with a trace of smoke and fire.
Xu Chen covered his mouth and nose, and after the dust was scattered, he reached in and tried it. He found that although there was still some heat, there was no harm. So he climbed up and took out a pottery bowl from it.
"Bang bang~"
He flicked his finger twice, and the pottery bowl made a slightly crisp sound.
Xu Chen's face instantly smiled. He turned over to look at the bottom of the bowl. The four hieroglyphs produced by Pasteur were extremely clear, no different from when he was put in.
"Mother Baga!"
Xu Chen raised a thumb and placed the pottery bowl in Mother Ba's hand.
Mother Ba held the dark red pottery bowl in both hands, her body trembling slightly, her gray hair and feathers swaying, and her face was full of pleats and showed unprecedented excitement on her face.
He gently stroked, watched repeatedly, and then flicked it twice as Xu Chen. He listened to the slightly crisp sound, Mo Ba slowly raised the pottery bowl with both hands.
"Wuga!"
"Wuga, wuga, wuga~~"
A group of men with oil paints beat their chests and began to roar.
"Wuga~Wuga~Wuga~Wuga~~"
A group of savages also followed the adults' movements, pounding their small breasts, their voices were loud and sharp, and they seemed even more excited.
Although they do not understand the importance of pottery, they also contributed to the success of these pottery.
In order to step on the mud, they were wrapped like mud monkeys all day long.
At this time, there is a kind of happiness and pride with honor.
After a group of savages finished howling, Xu Chen roared and opened the kiln. Gu Heju, who had already tried it, couldn't wait to get into the kiln. The other four kiln workers rushed forward and reached out to catch the pottery handed out from it, and took it to the open space to place it.
"Terminal figurines, figurines..."
Adults flocked to the open space to see the pottery in the kiln, while a group of children squeezed into the kiln to jump and yell.
"Terracotta~"
Gu Heju handed out a pile of mud dolls thrown in the kiln at will, and a group of children immediately cheered and scrambled to get their own pottery figurines, cheering excitedly and rolling all over the ground.
What a group of happy little savages.
Xu Chen stood beside him, looking at the cheerful look of a group of children, and his heart was full of jealousy.
Once upon a time, I had such a happy childhood, taking a bath in the mud pit, rolling on the beach, and having fun in the wilderness.
But unfortunately, every time I get home, my dad will beat me up. Of course, sometimes it is two.
"Chenga!"
Xu Chen felt that his fur skirt was being pulled a little, as if someone touched his bare butt. He was scared and hurriedly covered his butt. When he turned around, he saw Ye Zheng standing behind him with anticipation on his face.
Xu Chen's face was nervous: "Gaha?"
"Cao!" Ye gestured with both hands as a kettle style.
Xu Chen understood, looked into the fire kiln for a few glances, pointed at a position and gave an order, and immediately a kettle with a round belly was handed out.
This is the small kettle that Ye engraved at the last lettering, with a circle of pictograms designed by Xu Chen.
The characters are written in a large and small size, and the strokes are very tender, but they look unique and full of postmodern artistic sense.
"It looks pretty good!" Xu Chen played with it and put it in Ye's hand.
"Thank you!" Ye Lue held it in his hand, looking very excited.
Soon, all the pottery was taken out and a large area was placed in the open space in front of the kiln.
There are more than one hundred, basically none of them have been broken.
The reason for not breaking is naturally because the materials are price-wise and all pottery is made very thick.
The most dishes and cups inside can basically ensure that there are two different hands. The rest are kettles, jugs and other styles with relatively complex shapes. Almost all have handles and ears, and some have lids. Therefore, these are more attractive to everyone, and most people are scrambling to pass on these objects.
Under the leadership of Mu Ba, a group of savages began a new round of carnival holding a pottery in their hands, and began to circle around the earth kiln.
The roar of woo gagged loudly, frightening the wild beasts eating grass on the river beach in the distance, and the flock of birds swayed in the sky.
The clans and tribes lived an equally distributed primitive communist life. These things were all public goods and it was impossible for everyone to send two of them. Therefore, after a burst of fun, Mo Ba excitedly took all the tribesmen to the mountain to send these exquisite pottery up the mountain.
Because Xu Chen made these pottery, he was cheered by a group of men and carried them back to the cave. After returning, the pottery was neatly placed on the stone slabs around the fire pit. Under the arrangement of Moba, the group of people began to sing and dance again. After celebrating that nearly an hour of elimination, the joy brought by the pottery slowly subsided.
With pottery, lifestyle will naturally undergo great changes.
For example, I used to drink water with my hands, but now it is much more convenient to use a cup.
In the past, food was thrown around on stones, either raw or barbecued. Now, it is necessary to use a pottery bowl and a pottery plate to make a living clean.
Recently, during the process of making pottery at the foot of the mountain, Xu Chen also slowly taught Ju Hegu and others to use chopsticks.
Although everyone's movements were clumsy, they learned them all after half a month of training. Other tribe members also seemed to think that eating this way was more fashionable, so they began to follow suit.
Imitation has always been the source of human evolution.
Especially Ye and a group of children not only imitated Xu Chen's words, but also imitated his behavior and behavior.
Of course, many of them were Xu Chen's deliberate guidance and training.
For example, you should not bring your food when you speak, wash your food and wash your hands before meals.
Especially when he was stooling and peeing, in order to change the habit of a group of people in the kiln factory, he specially asked someone to dig a pit near the earth kiln as a toilet and prepared many large leaves to wipe his butt.
It is under the influence of his training and subtle influence that a group of savages have had much better living habits recently and have never licked their fingers again after shit.
Now that real pottery has been mass-produced, Xu Chen has also begun to further guide the group of savages to begin to have more civilized living habits.
For example, when drinking water, you must use a cup.
In addition, because there are fires all day long, you can use a kettle to keep boiling water, put it in the water tank and then drink it after it is cool.
The spring water on the mountain is very clean and it also has a slight sweetness.
But after all, it is raw water, and various viruses, bacteria and parasites are unprepared for prevention.
Drinking hot water or cold boiled water is the king of health.
And with hot water and cups, you can also make tea.
Although he has not found any tea at the moment, fruit tea and flower tea are also teas, and he can even make some health tea.
In this era without doctors, all injuries and illnesses are all your own.
Having a strong and healthy body is more important than anything else.
In addition, food can be cooked in a clay pot.
In order to teach these primitive people how to use these pottery, Xu Chen showed them the same demonstration.
Boiling water is the simplest. Put water in a pot and place it on a stove to burn.
Cooking food is relatively complicated.
After all, primitive people did not have the concept of cooking, except for barbecue, they just ate it raw.
Therefore, Xu Chen spent some more effort to put the frequently eaten oatmeal and beans and other grains directly in the clay pot without mashing them. After adding water, he placed it in the charcoal fire in the fire pond and slowly simmered it.
The same goes for meat. Wash the chopped meat and put it in a clay pot, add some wild ginger, and simmer it in a charcoal fire.
At present, except for wild ginger and wild onions and leeks, Xu Chen has not yet discovered any other edible ingredients.
Recently, he has been wandering around the kiln factory when he has time, and he has no shadows of pepper or pepper that he wants most.
These two ingredients are essential in cooking, especially after he got used to the Southwest dietary flavors for a few years, he felt a little spicy and unpleasant.
It is more difficult to eat spicy food in Yunnan and Guizhou because of the lack of salt in ancient times. The locals traditionally used chili peppers as salt and used strong spicy food to stimulate and reduce the demand for salt.
Peppermint has the function of promoting gastrointestinal digestion and eliminating cold and dampness, so it is more difficult to eat in Sichuan and Chongqing.
Judging from the current temperature environment, he speculated that these two or similar plants should have, but the Ba people's territory is too small and it is too dangerous in the wild, so it is not enough for him to take his life for these two ingredients.
However, soon after, the nearby tribes will hold a tribal conference called the Witch Lord, and you may have the opportunity to inquire.
Xu Chen was busy back and forth, boiling water, boiling porridge, and stewing meat, while Mo Ba and a group of people watched and helped to learn.
Recently, Xu Chen has changed too much and has too many creativity. The tribe has also undergone earth-shaking changes because of him, especially the emergence of pottery. While the tribe is excited, it has gradually developed a sense of awe. Especially a group of adults, they have begun to have an attitude of obedience towards everything Xu Chen did.
As the patriarch, Muba shoulders the mission of protecting all tribesmen. She is even more happy and excited because of the huge changes that Xu Chen has done to the family. While giving Xu Chen more care, she also has a lot of suspicion.
This suspicion comes from various changes after Xu Chen suddenly died and resurrection.
It can clear the feeling that Xu Chen is very different from Chen before he fell to death, and it is almost a complete sense of strangeness.
Various novel and creative items such as ropes, rattan baskets, wooden hoes, bows and arrows, pottery appeared one after another, especially the complex and unimaginable things like firing pottery made her even a little frightened in her suspicion.
Therefore, she had to take out the magic weapon given by the great witch left by her former patriarch and her mother to enhance Xu Chen's status in the tribe and let the tribe members give Xu Chen more respect.
She was not sure why Xu Chen's changes were, but it was obvious that the tribe had gained great benefits.
