Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

The next day, early in the morning.

Sang Tian has already started preparing to make pottery jars.

From the perspective of kneading alone, Sang Tian had never understood or tried it.

There is no other way, I can only make up for my shortcomings with hard work and try more.

Sang Tian dug out the clay, put it on the stone slab and kept kneading it into a soft and uniform state.

During the kneading process, if the soil feels a little dry, add some water.

Good boy, Sang, by adding this, he made the clay thinner...

Helpless and start again.

After failing to control the moisture several times and having to scrap the clay and start over, I finally made one with just the right hardness and softness!

Sang Tian placed the kneaded clay on a bamboo turntable.

Duo is responsible for turning the turntable, while Sang Tian uses his hands or tools to flatten the kneaded clay into a circle to serve as the bottom of the pottery jar.

Then he gradually slid it upwards around the bottom. Just when Sang Tian wanted to shape it into a slender vase with his hands, he used too much force and the jar was severely deformed.

Sang Tian had no choice but to stop and start over...

After several failures, Sang Tian finally figured out something.

Production is becoming more and more handy.

Sang Tian can also adjust the height, shape, width and length of the tank according to personal preferences...

After the jar body is shaped, Sang Tian uses a knife to trim and polish the surface of the jar to make it smoother and more fluent.

It looks better.

After you become proficient in the production process, you can also draw some pictures, reliefs, paintings, etc. on the surface. It is more beautiful and ornamental.

Sang Tian placed the finished pottery jar in a well-ventilated place and let it dry naturally.

The weather has been dry but the temperature has been low these days. It will take a few days for the pots to dry naturally.

……

These days, the tribe's entire work focus is on burning charcoal and kneading and drying pottery pots.

Everyone is working towards this goal.

……

While the pottery jars were drying for a few days, Sang Tian made the stove.

This work still requires earth bricks.

In fact, the shape of the furnace is very simple, and the principle and structure are also very simple.

Sang Tian built it with mud bricks mixed with hay.

There are four legs at the bottom of the stove, which allows it to be carried.

Then two doors were left on the front.

The upper one is a door specifically for putting firewood and charcoal in to burn, and the lower one is a drawer for storing ashes.

There are several gaps at the bottom of the inner wall, and the ashes will flow into the ash box through the gaps.

A door on the top connects to the inner wall where the wood is burned, and it is sealed when closed.

You can also boil water and even cook on it. Very convenient.

There was also a chimney left, and Sang Tian used a long bamboo pole to make a smoke outlet.

Just like building a kiln, you have to wait for it to dry naturally before firing it.

After all, it is an earthen oven.

……

The tribe was busy for the next few days.

Members of gathering and hunting teams who were not on duty had to join in the production of charcoal, pottery pots, adobe bricks, stoves, etc.

After a busy day of tribal work, there's still gathering and hunting to do. Anyway, there's never any time to be idle.

Sang Tian was also running around.

While taking care of peace and joy, you also have to run around.

Sometimes there was a problem with the charcoal burning process, sometimes there was a problem with adding water to the clay, and sometimes there was a problem with making the stove.

Either solving the problem, or on the way to solving the problem...

My legs are about to break after running all day...

Very tiring, but very fulfilling...

Sang Tian was very busy. In short, all our efforts were for Tianlang!

Sang Tian is happy to be busy about this, and she also feels happy during the busy process!
