Song Tantan turned around and looked at Ye Moxun with her big, dark eyes.

Tsk, I want to get him to research how to fire pottery again.

Song Tantan pulled him home. To others, it looked like two kids holding hands and skipping home. Yes, the two kids were always as close as one person, always sticking together.

“Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll give it to you. As long as you teach the villagers how to make pottery, I’ll provide you with food and drink for free for one, no, two years.” Song Tantan first held up one finger, and when he saw that he was unmoved, she immediately added another finger.

Ha, it's as if he's not being fed and clothed for free now. Apart from giving her some money at the beginning, he's been eating and drinking for free ever since.

Ye Moxun had a lot of complaints in his mind, but his face remained calm. He did whatever Song Tantan said and tried not to contradict her. Although Song Tantan always made unreasonable demands, he had a supermarket with food in it.

That was food from the future that he once thought he would never be able to eat again.

"Are you going to agree or not?" After not getting a response for a while, Song Tantan pouted and asked.

"I can copy the pottery-making process and teach how to do it a few times, but I can't guarantee whether I can actually fire pottery." He only knows the theory, teaches the villagers the theoretical knowledge, and then lets them figure out the rest on their own.

Because I had previous experience firing bricks and tiles, this research on firing pottery was not as difficult as I had imagined, but of course it was not easy either. First, we had to build a kiln, then select suitable clay, and once the clay was selected, we had to start making the clay blanks.

With very limited tools available, we had to rely on manual labor. At first, we simply shaped some bowls and plates to see if we could cook them.

Ye Moxun only had theoretical experience; the others simply followed his instructions and then tried to improve. Without any skilled workers, relying on theoretical knowledge to figure things out blindly was bound to waste more time.

After more than half a month of struggling, I finally managed to fire the ugly bowls and plates. No one cares about their appearance, as long as they can hold things.

"Great! The bowls and plates are all fired. We'll make a big earthenware jar later, and it would be best to make a big water vat." Song Tantan chattered excitedly in Ye Moxun's ear.

"Do you want to make porcelain with flowers next time, like vases or antiques?" Ye Moxun meant it as a joke, but he didn't expect the other party to look so serious and actually be thinking about this possibility.

"Don't even think about it. I'm not involved, and don't try to drag me into it." He strongly refused to help burn the ancient artifacts, not for any other reason than that it was an impossible task.

Song Tantan's heart fluttered for a moment, but when she thought that she might not be able to return to her original world, and that she could barely even burn an ugly bowl or plate, she stopped daydreaming.

After that, she and Ye Moxun focused their energy on collecting herbs and making medicine. The main problem was that the others weren't very helpful. The most talented Mu Sheng knew more herbs than others, but he didn't know many words, so his learning progress was not fast.

Ye Moxun and Song Tantan stopped caring about firing ceramics. After teaching the villagers the process, they let them do it themselves. After the initial novelty wore off, it was really not interesting at all; it was all tiring work.

“I think we should divide them into classes to see what they are suited to do. Everyone must learn martial arts, but other skills depend on their talent and should be arranged according to their individual circumstances.”

Song Tantan made this suggestion because she discovered that Musheng and Azhu were very interested in studying medicine, while Shuisheng and Jixiang liked woodworking, some children liked ceramics, and some children liked hunting.

They spend their days doing what they like and are not very willing to engage with anything else. Therefore, Song Tantan felt it was necessary to divide them into classes so that they could focus on what they liked and do it well, which would be more beneficial to the development of the village.

Ye Moxun curled the corners of his mouth and said slowly, "Isn't your reaction too slow? They are sitting in one classroom because the school has limited resources and there are no more classrooms for them to sit separately. The reason you were able to discover that they each have their own strengths is because I had already arranged for them to learn their respective skills."

Upon closer reflection, Song Tantan suddenly realized, "I knew it! That's why Shui Sheng and Ji Xiang suddenly started learning to carve with knives, and why Lin Shengzi and a few other teenagers went to sculpt pottery after finishing their practice. It turns out it was you who suggested it."

During the previous raid into the deep mountains, every household stored up a lot of meat, especially Song Tantan. She already had more food than she could eat at the supermarket, and later she collected a lot of game and stored it in. In order not to arouse suspicion, she cured a lot of meat at home, but she and her aunt did not like to eat things that had been stored for too long.

So she started a cooking class, inviting all the children who loved cooking to learn how to cook. She had planted a lot of ginger, scallions, peppers and green vegetables in the field, and it was the perfect time to pick them as ingredients.

When they first heard about cooking, all the kids flocked to learn, but two-thirds of them were just there because they were hungry, not because they genuinely loved cooking.

Song Tantan provided all the vegetables, meat, oil, and salt. Whether the food tasted good or not, it was all for everyone to eat. Right now, everyone was having a hard time. Although they had brought back a lot of game last time, after dividing it among dozens of households, each household only received about 300 catties of meat.

It sounds like a lot, but they have too little other food. They have to make it until this autumn harvest, but they won't be able to harvest much food in the autumn. They can only rely on saving, otherwise they won't be able to make it until next autumn harvest. So everyone can only eat until they are half full.

Song Tantan teaches cooking at the university and says that once the dishes are cooked, they should be divided up and eaten immediately, so all the kids crowded around when they heard that.

However, this situation only lasted for a few days. After eating for a few days, everyone found that the dishes Song Tantan made didn't taste very good. The dishes made by others were even worse, and the portions were small. Each person could only get a small piece, not even enough to fill a tooth gap.
