It was almost a month, and Lin Xiaoman, who had finally seen the results, was filled with excitement. She carefully looked at the samples brought back by the hunting team.
Yes, it is clay without a doubt.
After confirmation, the next step is to transport the clay back.
When it came to transportation, Lin Xiaoman suddenly thought of transportation tools. In the tribe, large items were simply carried on the shoulders, without the need for additional tools. As for small items, such as fruits and leaves, they were simply carried in leather bags.
Dinosaurs were huge, and their skins were also huge. Often, one prey could provide a large piece of skin, which was completely suitable for packing small items such as fruits and leaves. But using it to pack soil? It was not suitable.
And there isn't that much skin, after all, skin is not easy to preserve.
The system backpack cannot be filled with lumps of soil, and Lin Xiaoman is afraid that using her own space will cause rejection.
Therefore, it is necessary to make such a tool to hold things.
Using local materials, Lin Xiaoman searched around the tribe and soon found a vine plant whose stem was very soft yet tough.
It’s you!
After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoman found his adopted mother, Aya. Since he had picked up someone else's body, he had to repay the favor.
After Lin Xiaoman talked for a while, Aya's mother, who had accepted the task, happily called several idle women comrades, and at noon, they brought back a lot of vines.
When the raw materials arrived, Lin Xiaoman stopped practicing and began to guide the work. First, the leaves were removed, leaving only the rhizomes.
After having enough rhizomes, Lin Xiaoman used his intelligence and ingenuity to weave a simple rattan basket on the spot.
Although it doesn't look very good, it is enough to hold things.
As for why she is so smart to do this?
The inherited knowledge in the totem stone!
After successfully making the first one and getting the feel for it, Lin Xiaoman started the on-site teaching mode, teaching everyone how to do handicrafts, with the focus on teaching Aya's mother first.
Big rattan baskets, small rattan baskets, rattan baskets, and by the way, a rattan ball was woven for the children of the tribe... a lot of items were produced.
After Aya's mother learned all that, Lin Xiaoman once again entrusted her with an important task and gave her the task of weaving large rattan baskets, while he continued to practice.
Soon, by evening, more than a dozen large wicker baskets were completed.
With the tools, Lin Xiaoman excitedly took them to dig the next day. Led by the hunting team, they soon arrived at the cave where the clay was found.
Everyone started digging the soil with their bare hands. Because there were soldiers present, the digging efficiency was very high. In less than half an hour, more than a dozen wicker baskets were filled.
Lin Xiaoman put the wicker basket filled with clay into the system backpack, and then returned to the tribe under the escort of four warriors.
As soon as he returned to the tribe, Lin Xiaoman gathered together the people who had nothing to do, as well as the boys who were running around, and started the busy pottery-making work.
First, add water and knead it like flour. After kneading it into a ball, the most important job comes - breaking the dough. After demonstrating it once, Lin Xiaoman supervised the work while practicing.
Playing in the mud is definitely children’s favorite, so a group of half-grown boys were full of enthusiasm and played in the mud.
It was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon and Lin Xiaoman felt that it was about time. He started to knead the mud, gave a live explanation, and demonstrated a large pottery jar. Then Lin Xiaoman became a hands-off boss again.
Several adults and a group of children were kneading things enthusiastically. Before dinner, they had made a lot of things.
It's a bit ugly, but it works.
After instructing everyone not to touch the pottery and to let it dry in the sun for a few days, the pottery-making team disbanded.
In the square, the bonfire dinner started again. Thanks to Lin Xiaoman's vigorous development, many kinds of vegetables have been dug out. The combination of meat and vegetables, plus several seasonings, is much more delicious. The only drawback is probably the lack of salt.
Lin Xiaoman had told the tribe leader long ago to let the hunting team observe whether the herbivorous dinosaurs licked stones during the hunt. If so, they should bring back the stones licked by the herbivorous dinosaurs. Unfortunately, nothing was found so far.
Could it be that in this world, salt fruit is the only way to obtain salt?
I don’t know if there are any salt fruits in this area. Lin Xiaoman guessed that there are none. After all, the people in the tribe are not stupid. They would have picked the salt fruits long ago if there were any.
Hey, hey, hey, forget it, take it slow, get rich and become well-off, you have to do it step by step!
The sun sets and the sun rises, and it is a new day. Lin Xiaoman's daily routine is to assign tasks to others whenever he thinks of something new, while he practices himself.
About five days later, A Shui, the adopted sister who was entrusted by Lin Xiaoman with the important task of "making pottery", came to tell her that the earthenware objects drying in the square had dried up and one of them had cracked.
Lin Xiaoman immediately stopped practicing and went to take a look, and found that he was almost done.
Then the next step is firing.
After finding a few helpers, Lin Xiaoman directed everyone to move the pottery into an abandoned cave that she had long had her eyes on.
All the pottery blanks were placed in the corners where the flames could not reach, and then a large pile of firewood was put into the cave.
Use mud and stones to block the entrance of the cave, leaving only a very small ventilation hole, and then throw a burning piece of wood into the cave through the ventilation hole, and the fire will burn brightly.
Okay, it’s done.
The conditions are limited, so I can only make do with it. As for whether it will succeed?
With so many pottery pieces, even if only one out of ten survives, there will still be a few pottery pieces that can be made.
After instructing everyone not to move, Lin Xiaoman went back to continue practicing.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Xiaoman's younger sister A Shui came over and went to the pottery cave with her.
After calling a few people, they dug open the entrance of the cave. Although the flames had been extinguished long ago, the temperature inside the cave was still very high. Lin Xiaoman squatted at the door, practicing while waiting for the temperature to drop.
My cheap sister A Shui was so curious that she would stretch out her feet from time to time and repeatedly test the edge of the burn.
After his feet were able to bear the temperature of the ground, A Shui couldn't help but run in. After seeing the finished pottery, he couldn't help but shout, "Ah, this is amazing!" While shouting, he grabbed it with his hand, and then the surprise turned into a cry of "Ahhhhh!"
It was obvious that he was scalded, but even though he was scalded, Ah Shui did not let go. Instead, he made sure that the pottery was firmly placed on the ground before letting go, and kept shaking his hands with a frown on his face.
Lin Xiaoman was speechless and could only give ordinary treatment to the little sister whose hand was obviously burned.
"Sister, have I wasted your magic power?" Ah Shui was depressed and a little uneasy.
"This kind of treatment only requires a little bit of magic power, so it's not a waste. But you can't move anymore. You have to continue waiting."
"Yeah, yeah, sister is the best."
