Xia Chujian remembered that he needed a chopping board and a bowl, so he cut a few more pieces of jade.
Intended to be made into cutting boards and bowls.
After returning to the imperial palace with several pieces of jade and jade, Xia Chujian went to the mountain behind the imperial palace.
It is a hill rich in stone pottery.
Xia Chujian didn't know what stone pottery was, but when she dug out a piece, she understood what Qilu meant.
It turns out that this mountain is rich in clay.
The mountain is hollow, like a natural kiln.
No one knew what kind of fire was burning inside, but it didn't burn through the mountain. It only turned the clay on the mountain into pottery.
But this kind of pottery is not like the pottery made by humans, which has various patterns and decorations.
These are all naturally fired, and if there are lines, they are also naturally formed.
Qilu called it "stone pottery".
Xia Chujian dug out two pieces, then hollowed out the middle to make two deep pots.
One can be hung on the beam of the emperor's house and used for stewing things.
Another can be placed over a fire and used for frying food.
On the way back, Xia Chujian saw a clump of emerald green bamboo, so he simply cut another thin bamboo and dragged it back to make bamboo chopsticks.
After all the things were moved into the Emperor's House, Xia Chujian began to decorate this natural little wooden house.
In the center of the house hung a long rope made of tree bark, and at the bottom of the rope hung a deep stone pottery pot.
Below the deep pot was a fire pit surrounded by stones by Xia Chujian.
There was a pile of hay and sticks inside that Qi Lu instructed her to pick up.
Qi Lu said that these things are very resistant to burning.
With a pile like this, it’s no problem to burn it for seven days and seven nights.
Next to the fire pit, two small stoves were built with stones on both sides of the hanging stove.
On the small stove on the left, the Langgan Qingbi jade is piled directly on it. Once heated, it can be used to cook or make pancakes.
On the small stove on the right, there is another deep stoneware pot used for frying.
A peeled tree trunk was placed horizontally against the wall near the door of the emperor's house.
This is a big tree called "Danmu" that Xia Chujian was instructed to cut down by Qilu.
Qilu said that this kind of tree is fire-resistant and is particularly suitable for making furniture.
Xia Chujian used this tree to make a long table that was two meters long and one meter wide.
When preparing food, you can use it as a chopping board.
Of course, the bamboo she cut couldn't just be used to make chopsticks.
She split the remaining bamboo into strips and, under Qi Lu's guidance, weaved several bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets and backpacks.
There were still some remaining thin bamboo strips, and Qi Lu even taught Xia Chujian how to make a sun hat.
Of course, she wouldn't just use the big tree wood she cut down to make a long table.
The most important thing is to make a wooden bed.
It's just that there is no mattress, so it's hard to sleep on.
But it's better than sleeping on the floor.
Xia Chujian used the remaining wooden boards to make a door and installed it in front of the emperor's house where the straw curtains were hung.
Only then will you feel truly safe.
Everything was packed up and it was already dark outside.
Xia Chujian looked at everything in the room and suddenly felt like laughing. She said, "Qilu, we have prepared the cooking utensils and tableware, but we haven't prepared anything to eat."
"I'm still so hungry..."
Qilu's childish voice sounded a little embarrassed: "Master, it's Qilu's fault."
"Qilu forgot about this."
It and Xia Chujian were busy and chattering all day long, immersed in the joy of cutting jade bi, digging stone pottery, and chopping red wood, and completely forgot to get some real food.
Xia Chujian opened the door and looked outside. "It's not too late yet," he said. "Qilu, where is the wild Zhuyu rice you mentioned? Is it far away?"
Qi Lu said, "Not too far, maybe three miles. Master, do you need some water?"
Xia Chujian slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, we need to fetch water!"
"Qilu, you are so smart! If it weren't for Qilu, I really don't know what I would do!"
Xia Chujian praised Qilu and kept praising him with nice words.
Qilu's childish voice was full of joy: "Qilu is the master's most loyal subordinate! Master, please leave everything to Qilu!"
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Let's go out."
She was carrying a bucket made of red wood and a bamboo tube on her back, intending to fetch water.
She planned to use the water in the bucket for washing.
The water in the bamboo tube is, of course, used for drinking and cooking.
She drove Shao Siming's black and silver mecha and quickly flew three miles away.
There was a valley with a small flat area in the middle.
A dozen or so golden wild rice seeds were only as tall as her calves, but the rice they produced was a foot long!
It was so heavy that the rice seeds were almost crushed down.
When Xia Chu saw them, he said hurriedly, "They are so ripe now. It would be a waste if we don't pick them."
So she picked all the thirty-six rice grains produced by the dozen or so wild rice seeds.
She carried a large fresh-keeping storage bag with her. This large fresh-keeping storage bag could hold all thirty-six one-foot-long rice grains.
But after putting it in, it felt like it was filled with thirty-six grown corns.
This way you can only carry it diagonally on your back and cannot put it directly into your pocket.
Then go to the pool under the waterfall to get drinking water.
Xia Chujian came to the edge of the pond and filled the bamboo tube with water amid the roaring sound of the waterfall.
Then he went to the back mountain and filled the bucket with water from the hot spring there, and then drove the Shao Siming mecha back to the Emperor's House.
…
The fire in the emperor's house was lit.
There was suddenly light in the room, and warmth rose from the fire.
She did not go hunting today. She just washed a grain of rice, chopped it up and put it in a stoneware pot, then filled it with water, intending to cook it and eat it.
