Compared to everyone's surprise and delight, Han Cheng was not as happy as he had imagined. He looked at the fragments in the pile of grass ash on the ground and even felt a little depressed.
Because he clearly remembered that when he watched the video, the old lady from the ethnic minority fired as many as sixty or seventy pieces in one kiln. Later, when the kiln was opened, only two were broken, and the rest were intact.
Now, there are a total of twenty-two pieces entering the kiln. After one piece comes out of the kiln, only eight are intact. Nearly two-thirds of them either have cracks on them or are cracked more thoroughly, becoming fragments.
Even though this is my first time making pottery, the gap can't be this big!
Fortunately, the jar made by Heiwa was preserved, and it was intact, without any cracks on it. This made Han Cheng sigh once again that talent is indeed very important.
Han Cheng, who was surrounded by the halo of God, was caught off guard and accepted the worship of everyone.
Compared to his initial helplessness, he is much calmer now.
He helped Wu up, and then asked everyone else to stand up. In order not to spoil everyone's fun, he also showed the same cheerful smile on his face.
The people in the tribe showed a lot of interest in this new thing called pottery. In their excitement, they filled all the pottery with water and transported it into the tribe.
With this water, they no longer have to run a long way to the river to drink water when they are thirsty!
The second brother was so tired that his face was red and his neck was thick. He moved forward while holding a large vat full of water.
The eldest brother who was following nearby shook his head from time to time, saying that this one was too big and it was too inconvenient to use it to hold and transport water. It was not as convenient to use as the smaller ones.
This scene stunned Han Cheng who was standing by. It was the first time he saw a cylinder being used in this way!
It would be strange if it worked for you!
This operation is even better than Sima Guang's.
Han Cheng was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly went forward to tell them. After talking and gesturing for a while, he finally made them understand that this thing called "jar" was placed empty in the tribe, and then smaller "cans" were used to carry water and pour it into it.
The eldest and second brothers scratched their heads a little embarrassedly, carefully placed the jar on the ground, poured out the water in the jar, and walked towards the tribe carrying the jar which was several times lighter.
The entire Qingque tribe seemed extremely happy. The Son of God did not disappoint them. He said that good things could be made from mud, and he made them!
Under the leadership of the witch, everyone once again performed a sacrifice in the cave to thank the gods.
The sacrificial offerings were not food, but pottery fresh from the kiln.
In front of the totem pole, a witch wearing a feather crown and holding a bone staff was chanting in a language that Han Cheng and the others in the cave could not understand. She was communicating with the gods whom he had never sensed before.
Thank the gods for sending their son to their tribe, bringing boundless blessings to the tribe.
In Wu Gupu's incantations that no one could understand, the word "Tao" would occasionally pop up. This was what Han Cheng had taught him not long ago.
This made the sacrifice, which was supposed to be full of mystery, seem a bit out of place. Han Cheng even wanted to laugh because it made him feel like a prank had succeeded.
The sacrifice lasted for about thirty minutes and ended only after the witch was sweating profusely.
The children in the tribe were more excited than each other, especially the six or seven children who personally participated in making pottery.
Lame also grinned, because he also participated in the pottery making.
Bo used his actions to once again prove the importance of following a good boss. For example, on the battlefield, the general's personal guards usually die less than others...
The eldest brother was also very happy because Han Cheng gave him a bowl.
If it is ordinary things, such as prey, the eldest brother as the leader has absolute distribution rights. But this time is different. What appeared this time is new. It was created by the Son of God under the revelation of God. It has never appeared in the history of the tribe, and the eldest brother did not dare to act rashly.
Han Cheng didn't notice these things. In his subconscious, he felt that these were things he led everyone to make, and he had the right to distribute these items.
This is not because he is too eccentric, but because many of his thoughts are unconsciously influenced by later generations, and he is not used to this kind of public system within the tribe.
Among the eight pieces of pottery, in addition to the large jar made by Heiwa, there are two pots and five bowls.
Jars and pots are public goods, while bowls are more private.
Han Cheng gave the best bowl to Wu and kept the second best one for himself. He gave the remaining three to each of his three brothers.
No one had any objection to this distribution method because this is how they distribute food on a daily basis.
Lame, who had been busy all the time, also had no objection. He was just a little envious like those other children, and did not think there was anything wrong with Han Cheng's distribution.
There are too few jars and pots and they are simply not enough. But there is no need to worry. Now facts have proved that this method of firing pottery is feasible. In the future, as long as we spend more time, we can replenish what is missing.
There was enough food caught yesterday, so the eldest brother and his companions did not go out hunting today. Instead, following Han Cheng's order, they came to the river with the other children and collectively participated in the pottery-making business.
Han Cheng gave some instructions and asked them all to learn from Heiwa.
This made Heiwa a little nervous, but he also felt very proud. Feeling that he had a great sense of responsibility, he did everything meticulously and never tired of demonstrating and passing on his experience to everyone.
Han Cheng watched from the side.
Everyone has something they are good at, like pottery making.
At the end of the day, three or four people did particularly well, and most of the rest were at an average level, either above or below average. There were also a few who did particularly poorly, such as the second brother.
After a day of hard work, I was sweating all over, my face was covered with mud, but I didn't come up with a decent result.
It is precisely because of the differences among people that division of labor and cooperation emerges. Putting people in areas where they are good at and letting them do what they are good at is a good way to improve production efficiency.
So after the day ended, Han Cheng made personnel arrangements and asked the four best adult primitive people to focus on making mud embryos in their spare time, that is, when they were not hunting or fishing. The rest of the people, according to their respective characteristics, were responsible for digging, mixing mud, collecting hay, and crushing hay.
Of course, all of this is done without affecting the normal life of the tribe. After all, getting food is the tribe’s top priority.
A large batch of clay embryos made a few days ago can be fired again, but Han Cheng did not do this work because he has not figured out why his yield rate is so low using the same method.
You have to learn some experience from every failure. Otherwise, there is not much point in repeating the same thing over and over again.
