A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 189
"It's okay, if you know how to fire it, you can always succeed." Jiang Qing smiled, her face full of determination.

"Jiang Qing, how do you make this pottery?" Qing rubbed her hands together, thinking about the convenience of pottery, she wished she could burn the pottery right away, "Tell us, we'll prepare it now..."

"To make high-quality pottery, you need good clay, which is the special clay I told you to look for last time." Jiang Qing said softly, "However, the clay sifted out by ordinary gravel is also It can be fired into pottery, but its viscosity is average, and it is easy to break when fired."

"Then... what should I do?" Qing frowned, slightly anxious.

Jiang Qing smiled softly and comforted her: "Aunt Qing, don't worry. We can use ordinary gravel to sieve the fine clay and try to fire it. No matter whether we can succeed or not, we should learn more experience. If successful, these pottery Can it be used too?"

"That makes sense." Sha nodded and looked at Jiang Qing sincerely.

As expected of an envoy of God, this brain is easy to use, and she can think clearly about things that they can't understand at once.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's sieve the gravel..." Lan was the most impatient, and was about to get up.

Jiang Qing hurriedly stopped Lan, and said, "Aunt Lan, did you forget that it's noon and it's time to make lunch!" At first, the tribe only ate two meals a day, but later Jiang Qing proposed to eat three meals, because everyone in the tribe made lunch. All the work is hard work, and if you don’t eat more, it’s easy to empty your body.

If things go on like this, people can easily become weak.

The elders of the tribe are so exhausted.

"That's right, I'm so happy and confused!" Lan Yi patted his head, embarrassed.

Everyone laughed and were busy arranging the barbecue for lunch.

After eating barbecue and broth for more than a month, Jiang Qing felt that her whole mouth was tasteless.I am very greedy for the corn and wheat stored in the cave, but unfortunately I am too busy right now, so I should wait for the tribe to build all the houses and find time to try corn pancakes.

Look, it's past noon.

I don't know how the wolf and his party went out to hunt, how did they get today?
Can you find something available?

Aunt Qing and the others think pottery is easy to use, but pottery is actually not as good as iron, but iron is not easy to make, and now is not the time to study iron.

After the barbecue is ready, all the wooden shelves of the meeting room behind are set up, and the wooden boards are also inlaid.Fang and the others have already started making mud and are preparing to start laying stones.

Seeing that the barbecue was ready, they rested their hands and were rushed by Jiang Qing to wash their hands, and returned to the open space one after another to start eating.

With motivation, everyone ate very fast, and finished eating in two or three strokes.

The earth made a pass, pulled Jiang Qing past and walked to the meeting room, saying: "Jiang Qing, can we lay stones now? The walls are all installed, only the doors and windows are not installed, but I plan to wait until the stones are laid Afterwards, installing doors and windows."

Jiang Qing walked around the meeting room twice, touching the damp walls.

It's not dry enough, can I lay stones?And thinking that the wooden house is easy to be bitten by insects and ants, I couldn't help but think deeply.

After a while, Jiang Qing stood up.In order to avoid being eaten by insects and ants, Jiang Qing stopped the people who were preparing to lay stones, and asked, "Lang Mo, did the tribe collect paint?"

I didn't expect that even if the stone wall is not painted, the other side of the house needs to be painted.This is not only beautiful, but also prevents insects and ants.

"Paint?" Lang Mo looked at her inexplicably with doubts on his face. Obviously he didn't know what Jiang Qing was talking about?
"Paint is a kind of material that can be applied to the top of the wooden board, so as to prevent insects and ants from eating holes in the wooden board, and paint the house to make it more beautiful." Jiang Qing said.

"What does it look like?" Lang Mo asked, tilting his head and thinking about what the paint Jiang Qing was talking about. Although he didn't understand what Jiang Qing meant by "beautiful", he understood the insect-proof and ant-proof.

Jiang Qing was dumbfounded, she had seen synthetic paint before.

Pure natural paint, she really doesn't know what it looks like.She did, however, know the sumac tree, which smells so bad that people with allergies get sores when they touch it.

"This..." Jiang Qing faltered, and said, "I don't know what it looks like. The lacquer tree smells very strong, and it smells bad. If it doesn't work, let's try some herbs that can dye it?"

"Then let someone look for it tomorrow?" After thinking for a while, Lang Mo said.

Looking at the majestic meeting room, Jiang Qing leaned against the wall and said, "The stones will be built two or three days later. The tree was just felled and it has not dried out. I rashly put the stones on. I am worried that the humidity will be too heavy. Let the house dry for three to five days and try..."

With that said, Jiang Qing was not sure.

Turning his gaze to Lang Mo, and meeting Rourou's gaze, Lang Mo trembled and coughed twice.

Turning around, looking at Da Di and Wen Luo, who are the best at this in the tribe, asked, "Uncle Da Di, what do you think?"

Wen Luo stroked his chin and said, "What Jiang Qing said is not unreasonable. The wet wood will shrink after drying. There may be some gaps in the house... The meeting room was built in a hurry, and I forgot to consider this aspect."

"Indeed, Jiang Qing didn't mention the humidity, I almost forgot about it." Da Di slapped his thigh heavily, and said: "The meeting room will be left to dry for three to five days, and then it may have to be reworked. We cut some wood in the area, and we Wenluo made all the planks and left them to dry."

After hearing the explanation from the two, Jiang Qing immediately came to her senses, feeling the heat expand and the cold shrink.

Fortunately, she acted cautiously, otherwise something big would happen, the expansion of heat and contraction of cold may cause the house to become out of balance.Don't go wrong when the house is not lived in. This is not a good sign.

Hearing this, everyone had no choice but to rest their minds from working hard.

With a group of people, Lang Mo rushed to the side of Shahu, intending to start from there.

Here, Jiang Qing stared at the well-mixed soil, and simply called Qing and others to knead the soil.

At lunch, she asked Uncle Yada to turn off the fire, and dug out all five bowls inside.Four of them were cracked, and the only one that was not cracked also had a crack on the edge of the bowl.

However, looking at the cracked pottery bowl, Qing and the others were very happy, which meant that even if no clay was found, even ordinary gravel-sifted soil could be fired into pottery.

It's just more difficult and the failure rate is higher!
Jiang Qing smiled, but saw that Qing used that bowl to fill a bowl of water, except for the water leaking in the cracks, nothing was damaged.Seeing this strengthened everyone's determination to make pottery.

No, when Jiang Qing asked someone to prepare pottery with the mixed soil, a large group of people flocked to it.

Except for the Baishui and Feiying tribes who are busy planting saplings, many people in the tribe have already picked a lot of wild vegetables and wild fruits in the morning, and in the afternoon they planned to use green vines to know rattan baskets, vines, or rattan shoes.

However, when they heard that Jiang Qing was planning to make pottery, they all lifted their spirits.

Gearing up, looking eagerly at Jiang Qing, like a baby waiting to be fed, there is no trace of calculating impurities in her pure eyes.

The corners of Jiang Qing's mouth twitched. She was just going to try it out, and she really didn't need so many people.Besides, the Horde Pyre is not enough...

But he met everyone's expectant eyes, but couldn't refuse when the words came to his lips.
