"You don't want to go back to Ghost Mountain?"
"We can't go back. The tribe was captured. The high priest and the chief are dead. Only a few of us escaped..." The people in the Ghost Mountain area seem to like being swallowed up.
"We are willing to join your tribe. We are capable and we won't eat for free!"
Then let’s give it a try, it doesn’t matter how many seven people there are.
"Do you know clay?" Ma Yue said and gestured at the same time. I didn't understand, so I just gave up.
The seven people were taken back to the Sea Tribe. At least they had a full meal. Primitive people are really down-to-earth. They work after eating.
The yellow-skinned and black-skinned people weren't jealous at all. If someone could make bigger and more exquisite pottery, as long as it was for the good of the tribe, it was a matter of cohesion. The stronger the power of faith, the stronger the sense of belonging.
"This won't work!" The language isn't very clear, but that's roughly what it means (written for the convenience of readers).
"Are you talking about the lack of clay?" Huangpi and Heipi asked quickly.
"Clay is very important. We need to fire the kiln first." The woman seemed very professional. Seven people began to dig holes in the ground and fire the kiln first.
Hei Pi took out the various stones he had collected from traveling around the country for more than half a year and showed them to the leading man for identification.
“This one is clay, and so is this one.”
So many? Heipi is so depressed.
Clay is distributed all over the world and is not a rare thing.
Since we need clay, let's go dig it. Black Belt Team, under Ma Yue's order, a team set off with wildebeests.
It seemed very close, and I came back in less than two days.
Ma Yue doesn’t care whether it is exquisite or not, as long as it is at least bigger and more durable.
After many days of hard work, the new pottery came out. Ma Yue was somewhat disappointed. The pottery of this era was mainly pottery jars. Slightly larger pottery basins were easily failed in firing.
The pottery makers of the Goldfish Tribe produced larger pottery plates, but not by much. As for exquisiteness, primitive people weren't yet at the stage of appreciating exquisiteness, were they?
Well, at least the pottery produced by the kiln is more efficient. And according to the feedback from the salt-boiling team, it's also much more durable. That's fine, it always has higher practical value.
Be content with a little progress.
In order to express his approval of the technological progress, Ma Yue gave the male and female leaders of the goldfish tribe new names, "White Skin and Green Skin", which are easy to remember.
Firing a kiln and making pottery is something you can learn by just watching; it doesn't require much technical skill. Baipi and Qingpi felt their martial arts skills were pretty good, and they weren't willing to be fourth-class men. Okay, let's just say the seven of them, Baipi and Qingpi, are the third-class able-bodied men.
With seven new members, Ma Yue and the high priest just made a simple announcement about joining, and then Ma Yue, the charlatan, performed a "magic trick" to make them come together.
The six people were shocked and conquered by Ma Yue's miracle, except for the leading man Qingpi who had no faith at all.
Take it slow. You can't return home all at once, right?
Ma Yue hinted, okay! Qingpi was assigned to the winter logging squadron. Even if he ran away, he ran away. Are you new here (this Qingpi isn't even very good at pottery making)? What's wrong with doing more dirty and tiring work?
As for Baipi and the other five people, their pottery making skills are pretty good. The pottery team is currently very busy, so they just need to keep working. Pottery making is a craft after all, and it is not easy for Huangpi and Heipi to master it.
I believe that after practicing kiln firing and pottery making with Baipi this winter, Huangpi and Heipi should have mastered the craft.
"Spirit, we have more and more sheep, and we don't need to change their fur." said the second priest.
"Okay, we don't plan to buy anyone in the next two or three years, so it's enough as long as we have enough furs." Ma Yue had no objection. In the winter, the salt-boiling team would be rewarded with a sheep every three days, and the sheepskins would come out.
Most of the old and weak were busy working in the big wooden house and did not need thick fur coats.
"We don't need furs anymore, what else can those small tribes trade with us?" asked Chief Hai. Are they going to participate in the Ice and Snow Conference this time just to trade with the Cowhide Tribe?
"Bone shovels are the most commonly used, as they are needed for turning the soil and digging ditches. Axes are consumed a lot in logging, and if that doesn't work, we can just eat meat." No one is a philanthropist. The many tribes, big and small, cannot survive, and it is not Ma Yue's fault.
"Okay, I'll go around the tribe and take a look to see what's missing." The second priest nodded. Coarse salt, of course, the main source of exchange is the cowhide tribe that has wildebeests and live sheep.
After a careful count, it turns out that there are quite a few tools missing. It's not just the main tools that are missing. There are a lot of scattered necessities needed in life. Even if they are inconspicuous, they still need to be consumed and used, right?
Things like bone needles are incredibly difficult to sharpen, so if you can trade for them, it's the best. Don't need a small stone knife? So, you're using chicken feathers to cut carrot strips? Thin leather thread, with good toughness, is the primary material for sewing fur clothing. You can't make that with sheepskin...
The second priest and Chief Hai set off with the trading team.
"Wangcai, I guess he's gone wild with that male and female again." Even in winter, cave hyenas don't hibernate. Their fur is thick and they're not afraid of the cold. Naturally, they won't stay in caves all day.
Xiao Wangcai has grown up quite a bit and likes to hang out with the male and female cat. Sometimes, he would stay around for several days before coming back.
Ma Yue was not worried. The two cave hyenas were considered powerful among wild beasts. Theoretically, they had few natural enemies.
The two hyenas were able to maintain their fighting capacity. It was important that Ma Yue was willing to let them roam freely. Pets shouldn't be kept indoors all the time, right? They've lost all their wildness and have truly become pets.
