Around noon, the temperature dropped to a level where it was barely comfortable to work. Lin Xiaoman said, "It's OK."
Ah Shui, who couldn't wait any longer, rushed in and shouted excitedly, "Oh my God, oh my God, this is amazing!"
"You guys go in too and move the things out, but be careful when moving them and handle them with care." Lin Xiaoman waved her hand. After she finished speaking, a group of boys who had gathered outside the cave rushed into the cave excitedly, and then their exclamations were heard one after another.
After marveling in the cave for several minutes, they carefully carried out the pottery one by one, led by A Shui.
All the pottery was taken out of the kiln and Lin Xiaoman began to count and check it.
A total of 123 pieces were made, 27 of which were complete and without cracks, which was a little higher than the success rate estimated by Lin Xiaoman.
Apart from those that were cracked and completely unusable, we carefully selected and found 21 jars that had some damage and cracks but were barely usable.
This pottery making trip was quite fruitful.
As the initiator of pottery making and the witch of the tribe, Lin Xiaoman has priority. So he picked 5 pottery pieces first, and how to arrange the remaining pottery pieces is the responsibility of the patriarch.
This first batch will definitely be distributed to the clan leader and Grandma Yang, and then to the warriors and warriors of the hunting team. If there are any left, they will probably be rewarded according to their merits.
Anyway, Aya, who was in charge of making rattan baskets, and Xiao Ashui, who participated in the pottery making, were both given a second-class defective pottery.
Life is better with pottery.
With the large clay jar for holding water, we no longer have to go to the big puddle in the tribe to drink water. With the small clay pot, the vegetable and meat soup we cook is also more delicious.
We no longer use the thorny wooden bowl to drink soup, but now use a ceramic bowl.
Oh, the people in the tribe really fully developed the virtue of diligence and thrift. The pottery fragments were carefully picked out and reused. The larger pottery pieces were directly used as grilling plates. The heavy stones were no longer used, and more people were able to eat fried meat.
The first pottery making was successful, and the next natural thing was to collect all the precious clay.
Lin Xiaoman acted as a porter and moved all the clay in the cave back. However, the pottery making work was not carried out on a large scale. The clay was directly placed into the tribe's storage cave by the patriarch.
The clan leader and Grandma Yang worriedly persuaded Lin Xiaoman. What they meant was: the current pottery is sufficient and not suitable for mass production. The most urgent task is to develop strength!
Central idea: An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.
I have to say that the clan leader and Grandma Yang are just ignorant, but they are not stupid.
After being reminded by the two, Lin Xiaoman felt that he was indeed a little too proud. This was not a society ruled by law. If one suddenly became rich, he would be robbed!
Emperor Gou’s despicable behavior must not be forgotten!
After listening to the words of the clan leader and Grandma Yang, Lin Xiaoman gained a little more knowledge.
In this vast forest, there is not only their tribe. Their Hu tribe has less than 300 people, which is considered a small population. However, because there are warriors in their tribe, their Hu tribe occupies a good area in this forest with water and prey. Normally, other tribes will not invade them for no reason.
but!
During the winter, when food is scarce, tribal warfare breaks out, and their tribe is no exception. Last winter, two tribes, lacking food, attempted to rob them. Since the other tribes were small, numbering less than a hundred people, they were ultimately defeated.
But once word gets out that their tribe has a lot of pottery, I'm afraid several nearby tribes will join forces to rob them for "money."
The current amount can be said to be obtained from merchants at a high price, but if the amount is too large, it will definitely bring disaster.
What's more, in addition to other tribes, there would be merchants passing through the forest every two or three winter seasons. If the merchant team had bad intentions towards their tribe, the tribe would have no power to fight back.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the tribe leader gave a long speech after dinner that day. The main point was: Our tribe is on the road to prosperity, but in the meantime, everyone must keep their mouths shut and resolutely not leak any information, especially not the news about the Green Witch!
After the patriarch finished his speech, it was Lin Xiaoman's turn to show off.
Holding a bone staff taller than herself in one hand and touching the totem stone in the other, Lin Xiaoman, with her noble identity as a wizard, performed a mysterious and unscientific loyalty assessment.
As Lin Xiaoman's magic power emanated through the totem stone, a sacred white light spread out, covering all the tribesmen in the square.
The tribe had less than three hundred people and only eight warriors. The number was small and the strength was low. It only took about 5,000 of Lin Xiaoman's wizard power to complete the loyalty assessment.
Don’t worry, there are really some people who are unfaithful.
After being bathed in the light of the totem, three people screamed and rolled on the ground holding their heads.
The patriarch is responsible for interrogating spies.
After Lin Xiaoman used a totem skill and went through the motions, he returned to his cultivation state.
Within two days, the results of the spy incident were revealed. One had joined the Hu tribe after their defeat, but he held a grudge and was always looking for revenge. The other two were simply spies from other tribes, hiding in the tribe to investigate their food reserves in preparation for looting during the winter.
Lin Xiaoman stopped his daily routine of improving his life and, in addition to his daily practice, began to think about how to improve the combat effectiveness of the tribe.
arms?
Due to limited conditions and the lack of gold, silver, copper and iron, metal weapons were unrealistic.
Stone knives, bone knives, wooden spears, and bone spears are all available.
As for the bow and arrow?
Most dinosaurs have hard skin, so bows and arrows have little effect on them. However, bows and arrows can shoot people, so they are used.
Using bows and arrows in conjunction with watchtowers, Lin Xiaoman proposed two defensive fortifications to the patriarch, one was a watchtower and the other was a trap pit.
The sentry tower was approved and implemented, but since the current construction level is still at the level of digging caves, building a wooden tower is too difficult. Even with Lin Xiaoman's guidance, the progress is very slow.
As for the trap pit?
The clan leader said that it is not necessary at the moment and it will not be too late to dig after the cold season.
During the hot season, almost all tribes can eat and drink enough, and no tribe will start a war or invade other tribes because they are too full, unless that tribe is really too rich.
Using local materials, various dinosaur tendons as bowstrings and hardwood as bow bodies, the first bow and arrow was quickly made.
After the success, the craftsmen exerted their research spirit and succeeded in making small bows that could be used by ordinary people, following the large bows used by brave warriors.
With small bows and arrows, half-grown children and women also have a certain fighting ability.
Making arrows is a big project.
