MTL - This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 25 three-legged pottery

The successful purification of salt ore means that the Teng tribe will no longer be short of salt in the future. If the tribe develops and grows, it can even sell salt as a commodity.

After Jiang Xuan made a small jar of salt, he temporarily stopped this very time-consuming work. The remaining salt ore can be kept for purification on rainy days when he has nothing to do.

The next day, when Jiang Xuan ate a pot of stewed meat with salt, the whole person was immersed in a huge sense of happiness, and he almost burst into tears.

This is what food should taste like!

Meat without salt is indescribable.

After solving the problem of salt, Jiang Xuan made two relatively large three-legged round pottery tripods with clay, as well as some pottery blanks such as spoons and spoons, and placed them in a bamboo house to dry in the shade.

Because there are more people eating now, it is obviously not enough to use those two clay pots to cook food.

The three-legged pottery ding, a cooking utensil, can solve this problem very well.

The three-legged pottery ding has a large capacity, and it comes with three legs, which can be directly put into the fire pit to be burned without being placed on a stone.

In addition, the three-legged pottery ding has two ding ears. When the food is cooked, just use a wooden stick to pass through the ding ears, and then the pottery ding can be easily carried to other places.

Peaceful days always pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, nine days passed.

On April 9, the weather has obviously changed from warm to hot, and the drizzle has turned into heavy rain or even heavy rain.

Whether it is the plants in the jungle or the food and vegetables grown by the Vine tribe, they have all started to grow wildly, and everywhere is green.

All of this shows that spring has quietly left, and summer has arrived with heat.

"April 9th, sunny, beginning of summer."

When he got up in the morning, Jiang Xuan engraved the solar term "Lixia" on his bamboo tube calendar, then put the bamboo tube away and walked out the door.

At this time, the sky was blue, and the sun had not yet risen, but a few rays of sunlight penetrated the clouds, rendering the white clouds the color of red clouds.

"Let's see if the pottery has been fired successfully."

Jiang Xuan put the dried pottery blanks in the Hengyan kiln yesterday and went back to sleep after burning for most of the night.

"Boss, wait for me."

Uncaria also ran over excitedly, as well as Chishao, Shiloach, and Nanxing, all running here.

Jiang Xuan walked to the side of the Hengyan kiln and reached out to touch it. The kiln wall was still warm, but it was no longer hot.

Jiang Xuan took off his stone knife, dug up the mud on the side of the Hengyan kiln used to seal the feeding port, and removed the large piece of mud that had been sintered, revealing the finished pottery in the furnace.

The first thing I took out were five spoons for scooping soup. They were relatively thick and had long handles. During the firing process, two of the spoons had their handles broken, while the other three were fired relatively successfully.

"Take it." Jiang Xuan handed the pottery spoon to Uncaria.

"okay."

Uncaria hugged the five spoons happily. He knew that this was a good thing. With this thing, he didn't need to carry the clay pot to pour soup in the future, he could scoop it directly into the bowl with a spoon.

With excitement, Jiang Xuan took out a pottery ding carefully from the hearth of the Hengyan Kiln.

Jiang Xuan checked it carefully and found that the firing was very successful without any cracks!

This is a round pottery ding with three legs and two ears, about 60 centimeters high and 40 centimeters wide. It is very thick and has a lid on it.

The most conspicuous part of this pottery ding is that its outer wall and cover are engraved with the totem pattern of the vine tribe: a huge ancient vine, wrapped around a steep rocky mountain, like a giant dragon.

When Tao Ding appeared in front of everyone, everyone was excited.

Not because of how perfect it was fired, but because of the totem pattern engraved on it.

The totem pattern is of great significance to the tribal people, and the thing engraved with the totem pattern will naturally give it a special meaning.

Even if this Tao Ding is not so rounded, or even rough, it is the best thing for the people of the Vine tribe, and they will not accept any refutation from outsiders.

Uncaria asked, "Boss, are we going to use it for cooking in the future?"

"Yes, with Tao Ding, we can cook enough food for twenty people at one time."

"That's great, Tao Ding's cooking must be delicious!"

The others also nodded, this is the Tao Ding with the totem pattern of the rattan tribe!

"There's another one inside."

Jiang Xuan also took out another Tao Ding in the hearth.

The wall of this pottery ding was also engraved with totem patterns, and the firing was also successful.

With these two pottery dings, not only will it be much more convenient to cook in the future, but it will also be much more convenient to purify the salt ore, because it is large enough to hold more salt water at one time.

"Let's wash it first, then go back and try our new Tao Ding."

Jiang Xuan took the lead in picking up one Tao Ding, Chi Shao picked up the other, and the two went to the creek to carefully clean the Tao Ding.

Afterwards, the two Tao Dings were carried back to the bamboo house and placed in the fire pit.

Tao Ding's three legs allow them to stand firmly in the fire pond. You don't have to bother to set them up, just burn them directly.

Jiang Xuan put the burning firewood under the Tao Ding, and the flames licked the Tao Ding continuously, causing the Tao Ding to gradually heat up.

In the first pottery ding, Jiang Xuan first added water, and then put various edible plant tubers, such as stone eggs, round potatoes, Huang Jing, etc.

This is what the Fuji tribe usually eats.

For the second Tao Ding, Jiang Xuan waited until it was completely heated before adding some suet, wild **** and wild onion, and then adding water after frying until fragrant.

Then put in the dried animal meat cut into small pieces, and add many edible wild vegetable stems and leaves. Finally, Jiang Xuan added some precious salt, covered the tripod, and simmered slowly.

This is the meat dish they usually eat.

Sometimes they cook animal meat, sometimes fish, sometimes shrimps and crabs, and even some edible bugs.

It takes a little time to cook these foods. Jiang Xuan asked Nan Xing to watch the fire, while he and the other three went to the farmland to see the traps laid out yesterday.

With the continuous reclamation of wasteland, the Veng tribe now has more than ten acres of arable land, and rows of grain and vegetables are planted neatly on these arable land, which is very spectacular.

But the problem also followed.

Because all the edible plants gathered together, herbivores in the nearby forest, including a large number of insects, gathered here one after another, harming these immature grains and vegetables.

To deal with bugs, at present, only those tourists can catch them with their bare hands.

To deal with those beasts, Jiang Xuan and others needed to set up traps.

In order to keep the crops that were planted with great difficulty, Jiang Xuan and others arranged a large number of traps around the farmland, including rope traps, trigger traps, ground bows, and so on.

Almost every day, these traps catch or kill some beasts that steal crops to eat, adding meat to the vine tribe.

Even those worms were caught by tourists one by one, and they were threaded into strings with sticks and grilled to eat. If Jiang Xuan forbade them to eat raw ones, they could even eat them raw.

The way of taking a bite and bursting into the pulp is very lively.

"A fat mountain rat, take it back."

Jiang Xuan walked to the first trap and found a fat mountain rat whose head was flattened by a wooden stick. It weighed about two or three pounds.

This is also a good meat, you can take it home and bake it.

Jiang Xuan threw the mountain rat into the rattan basket and continued to walk forward.

The second trap is a lasso trap, but the rope of the lasso has been bitten off.

Chishao carefully observed the traces left on the ground, UU read www.uukanshu.com: "It should have caught a rabbit, the noose must have caught its feet, so it bit the rope and escaped. It's the neck, it can't run."

The four continued to move forward. Some traps successfully captured the prey, some were not triggered, and some were triggered, but the prey ran away.

But they walked down in a circle, and they even got a dozen small prey, which were packed in a rattan basket.

"Nice harvest, go, go back."

Jiang Xuan was in a happy mood. When he was reclaiming wasteland and farming, he did not expect to harvest meat.

When they returned to the bamboo house, the food in the two pottery dings had already been cooked, and the aroma filled the air.

"I'm hungry, let's eat!"

Jiang Xuan removed the firewood under the Tao Ding, then opened the lid of the Ding, and the steaming food immediately exuded a more attractive fragrance.

Jiang Xuan took out his own pottery bowl and chopsticks, and with a long-handled spoon, first scooped up a large bowl of boiled plant tubers, and then scooped some animal meat and wild vegetables from another pottery cauldron. Eat up.

"Fragrant!"

Jiang Xuan was very satisfied. After having salt, all the food seemed to be infused with the soul, and it tasted extraordinarily sweet.

The others also started to eat. After they were full, they packed the food in clay pots and sent it to the tourists, so that they could continue to work when they were full.

In order to give these tourists the strength to work, Jiang Xuan is not stingy. There is almost no difference between the tourists and the food they eat, including the salt in the food.

If these tourists are not given salt, they will sweat so hard every day to open up wasteland, and it will not take long for them to fall ill due to lack of salt, and they will not be able to continue their work.
