Chapter 33 Boiling Water, Pottery, and Broth

Wu, drink hot water.

Han Cheng brought the bowl to Wu and said aloud.

Wu looked at the bowl of water in Han Cheng's hand, a little puzzled, and a little incomprehensible, how could this fine water turn white.

But when his hand touched the bowl, he somewhat understood it because it was hot.

Wu took the bowl, did not drink it immediately, but held it in his hand, and looked at Han Cheng with some puzzlement.

Han Cheng knew that it was Wu who wanted to understand the truth.

Han Cheng was helpless, the old man was good everywhere, but there was something wrong with this inquisitive question, so it was better for them to worry more and ask less.

Han Cheng complained, and explained to Wu patiently. He respected this old primitive man who had saved his life from the bottom of his heart.

This kind of respect is not only due to the grace of saving lives, but also a lot of Wu's efforts for the development of the tribe.

It is very necessary to explain the matter clearly to Wu. First, it can solve the doubts in Wu's mind and facilitate his recording. Second, to implement the system of drinking cooked water in the tribe, Wu needs to come forward.

Under the alternate use of Han Cheng Chinese, tribal language and gestures, Wu finally understood the meaning of drinking boiled water.

He didn't understand why there were invisible worms in the good water, and he could understand too well what Miko said that the illness was caused by worms, but he firmly remembered one thing.

That is to put the water on the fire to boil the small bugs to death, drink water without the small bugs, and get sick less!

This alone is enough!

At this time, medical care and sanitation did not appear at all, at least not in the Qingque tribe. When they were sick, there was only one way to survive-resistance.

If you resist it, you will die, but if you cannot resist it, you will die.

In this era where even common colds and colds can kill people, it would be strange if Wu didn't pay attention to hearing Han Cheng say that drinking this kind of water can reduce the possibility of getting sick!

There was one more thing Wu needed to record, which made Wu feel a little melancholy while being happy.

He thought that until his death, the stone slabs in the cave would not be used up. Who would have thought that the Son of God had not been here for too long, and these slabs would not be enough. It seems that the tribe needs to bring back some more. .

In the afternoon, the eldest brother came back with the hunting team.

The harvest today was not too much, and the food they hunted was only enough for one day. There was no surplus food, which meant that they would have to continue hunting tomorrow.

After dinner, Wu summoned the elder brother and told the elder brother what Han Cheng told him today.

Just like the witch, after hearing that the boiled water has such a great effect, the elder brother couldn't help but widen his eyes, and immediately expressed that he agreed to implement the system of drinking boiled water in the tribe.

The three blackened stones were returned to the fire, arranged in a triangle shape, and water was added to the blackened earthenware pot, which was placed on the stones and continued to burn.

As time went on, the water in the jar started to steam...

The people in the tribe looked at this scene from near or far. Perhaps many of them didn't understand Han Cheng's actions before, but after hearing that drinking such water can reduce illness, they all paid attention to it. .

There are too few vats and pots now, and it is inconvenient to use them for boiling water and so on. When the next kiln comes out, it can be turned around.

The two old primitive men who were in charge of looking after the flames had another task, which was to boil water.

There is nothing special about boiling water. After Han Cheng demonstrated it twice, they memorized the process and knew what boiled water looked like.

The boiled water is all poured into the big vat where the cold water is poured out, so that when people drink it again, they won't find it too hot and inconvenient.

The job of carrying water was given to a not-so-strong female primitive, who was a spouse of the second senior brother.

Because of their weaker bodies, they generally do not go hunting with the hunting team, but stay in the tribe with a few other female primitive people who are weaker or pregnant or breastfeeding their children to collect fuel and go to the river. The work of spearfishing.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the pottery in the second kiln had been fired for three days, and this day was still the same as the first time the kiln was opened, with many people watching.

However, Han Cheng was no longer as impatient as last time, but kept feeling and checking the temperature inside by touching the dried mud outside the kiln and through the small ventilation holes.

He was patient, and waited from morning to afternoon, until the mud on the outer layer of the mud kiln felt a little cool to the touch, and then he started to beat the mud kiln.

A hole had been smashed into the mud kiln, and there was hot air coming out of it, but it was not suffocating.

Han Cheng's heart was suspended slightly, and he listened to the movement inside, for fear that there would be a 'click' sound of broken pottery.

He waited quietly for a while, but there was no sound, and a smile appeared on Han Cheng's face. He quickened his movements, and after a while, the whole clay kiln was knocked open, revealing the scene inside.

After more than three days of burning, the original mud all underwent a qualitative transformation, not only turning into pottery, but most of them also became higher-level pottery.

There are many places on their bodies that have brilliant glazes!

Under the sunlight in the afternoon, the black was a little glowing.

And the yield rate is also very gratifying, only four of the fifty-three pieces are damaged, and the rest are all intact.

These include three tanks of different sizes and five jars with 'double ears'.

After the pottery from this kiln came out, the pottery shortage in the cave has been greatly supplemented!

Wu and some other people touched the dark and somewhat shiny pottery under the sunlight, with excited expressions on their faces, especially when they remembered that such beautiful things would belong to their tribe, they were even more joyful from the bottom of their hearts.

After the initial excitement, everyone washed the precious pottery in the river and began to transport it to the cave. Everyone's movements were carefully handled, for fear of breaking the precious things.

Dinner tonight was extraordinarily sumptuous.

Well, abundance doesn’t just mean that there are many types of food, but also that the amount of food is large enough that everyone can eat enough.

The food tonight is indeed much richer. A large part of this is because Han Cheng set a large tank on the fire, put meat in it, and then added water to cook out a large tank of broth !

The people who have eaten barbecue all their lives now not only eat boiled meat but also drink rich broth with oily flowers, which is quite rich for them.

However, although the food made in this way is delicious, one thing is regrettable, that is, if you don't finish the soup in the tank, you can't get the meat below.

However, when the wise and wise Shenzi deliberately burned out several bowls with symmetrical small holes on the edges, he found a cleaned branch with a finger thickness more than one meter long, and used rope grass to pass through the small holes. After the branches and the bowl with holes were tied together, this matter was perfectly solved.

Miko called this kind of thing that can directly take out the meat at the bottom of the tank a 'soup spoon'
