Chapter 39 Chiseling the Stone Pot Again
Shi Yuan is the popular leader in the tribe.
"Can Shiyuan's leg get better?" someone asked.
Langlin said firmly: "It will definitely happen."
While the people in the tribe were waiting for the hunting team to return with the meat, Chu Ange and the others had already finished their meal.
The priest and Shi Yuan went back after they had eaten and drunk their fill.
Long Chen took out a package wrapped in animal skin from the cave, came to Chu Ange and opened it. Inside were strawberries that were bigger than apples.
He placed the strawberries on the stone table next to the swing and waved to Chu Ange: "Come here and eat some fruit."
Long Chen had already washed the fruit, and Chu Ange took one and ate it while sitting on the swing.
Long Chen went to clean up the dishes.
When washing the pot, Long Chen found that the stone pot was greasy and could not be cleaned! He washed it many times and it was still the same. Not only the stone pot, but also the stone bowls and bamboo tubes they used were the same.
If the stone pot is not cleaned properly, there will be no way to boil water for Chu Ange to take a bath.
He carried the stone pot to the river to wash it, and maybe it would be clean after washing it a few times.
"Where are you going with the pot?" Chu Ange asked puzzledly.
"If it can't be washed clean, I'll go wash it in the river." Long Chen said.
Chu Ange stopped him, "This is lard. It will be like this no matter how many times you wash it without detergent."
“What is dishwashing liquid?”
"To remove grease. Come on, I'll take you to find a treasure that can clean the oil." Chu Ange jumped off the swing and motioned Long Chen to follow.
There is a soapberry tree outside the tribe, with many soapberries on it.
Soapberry, which is shaped like a sickle, contains saponin ingredients, which have the same performance as surfactants. It has foaming and cleansing effects and can remove oil and dirt.
Before soap was invented, people used soap pods to wash clothes. Before use, they would soak the soap clips in water to soften them, and then use the soap clips to scrub the dirty parts of the clothes. The usage method is the same as soap.
The people of the White Wolf Tribe did not know the use of soapberry. They did not wash their clothes because they wore animal skins. If their clothes were dirty, they would rub them with river sand while bathing in the river.
After Chu Ange traveled through time, he used this soapberry to wash his hair.
Long Chen still carried the stone pot. There was not much water left at home, so he went to the river to wash it and carried another pot of water back.
Arriving under the soapberry tree, Chu Ange pointed at the soapberries on the tree and said to Long Chen, "Pick the soapberries from the tree, soak them in water, and then wash them. This will clean the oil stains off them."
Long Chen picked some soapberries and put them in a stone pot, then carried the pot to the river.
Long Chen was washing the pot on the side while Chu Ange was fishing downstream.
There were lots of fish and shrimp in the river, but she couldn't catch any.
After the soapberry was softened, he began to clean the stone pot, and the grease on it was really washed away.
"Who taught you to use this to clean grease stains?" Long Chen found it amazing.
Chu Ange didn't even think about it and blurted out, "The Dragon God taught me."
Long Chen: ...
Superfluous question.
There were some huge rocks on the riverside. After Long Chen washed the pot, he put it on the riverside and went to pick stones.
Chu Ange stood in the river and asked him, "What are you doing?"
"Choose a better stone." Long Chen said.
"Why choose stones?"
Long Chen: "Let's carve another stone pot to boil water."
There is oil in the pan after frying, and no matter how clean it is washed, he still feels that there is oil in it. If he uses the same pan to boil water for taking a bath, he feels that the water is no longer clean.
It is necessary to dig a new hole just to boil water for my wife to take a bath.
Chu Ange smiled. Her little savage turned out to be a little savage with mysophobia.
There was a big rock in the river that was above the water level. Chu Ange couldn't catch any fish, so he just sat on it and soaked his feet.
She was thinking, should she study how to fire ceramic pots?
As soon as this idea came to her mind, she rejected it and said, forget it, it's too troublesome.
She has watched a lot of TV variety shows, primitive life, wilderness survival and other programs, some of which also include some live pottery firing segments, but for her, that is all just talk.
I have also visited the cave dwellings in the ancient kiln scenic area in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, but I just took a quick glance and didn't pay much attention to it.
never mind!
Although the stone pot is a little heavier and conducts heat a little slower, if there are no other problems with it, just use it.
Long Chen finally chose a stone that he was satisfied with and moved it to the riverside to chisel it.
When their pot was almost finished, the hunting team finally returned with the meat.
A few minutes before the hunting party returned, the chief's daughter-in-law was being severely beaten.
Langli's broken ribs were not fixed in time, and have grown crooked. Every time he moves, it hurts. The injury on his leg has not received better treatment, and has not improved. It is even getting worse.
When Wolf Forest carried him back, the priest gave him some medicine and never took care of him again.
He did not seek treatment from a priest either, because he always believed that he was protected by the Dragon God. During the Dragon God sacrifice, the Dragon God blessed him, and he believed that the Dragon God would make him better.
Langli did not get any meat at the Dragon God Festival, and no one brought him food today.
After not eating for two days, Langli was already starving.
"I am the tribe leader, how can they not send me meat? Go and ask Langlin to send me meat." Langli pointed at his wife and beat and scolded her.
Ever since Lang Hong married Lang Li, she has looked down upon everyone in the tribe. She either scolds this one or is mean to that one. Now, if she is asked to beg others to send her meat, she cannot lower her head.
"Are you the only one who hasn't eaten? I've been hungry for two days, why don't you go and call for help?" Lang Hong put the last plant in the house into his mouth and ate it. While chewing, he said in disgust: "Pah! What the hell is this? It's so disgusting."
Langli is the tribe leader and has never lacked food. They have no habit of storing food. If they run out of meat, they will just go to other people's homes and take it directly, or wait until the next day of hunting day, then they will withhold other people's shares and take them home to eat themselves.
The wolf pointed at her and cursed: "I have raised you for so long, and you can't even find meat. What kind of person are you? You are a hen that doesn't lay eggs. I really regret marrying you."
Chu Ange was not the only one in the tribe who was scolded as a hen that didn't lay eggs... Chu Ange didn't have an animal form, and she hadn't entered the estrus period even after she reached adulthood, so everyone thought she wouldn't be able to reproduce.
The other one is Langhong, but she has a beast form and also has estrus. She has been paired with Langli for so many years, but has never been pregnant.
Because she was the tribe leader's wife, even if people in the tribe had questions, they didn't dare to speak to her face and could only talk about her behind her back.
When Langhong heard this, he got so angry that he stood up and rushed over to wrestle with Langli.
"I am a hen that doesn't lay eggs? Why don't you look for your own problems? It's obviously you who can't have children, but you blame me. Don't think I don't know what those shrews in the tribe say about me behind my back. These are all the harm you have caused me."
Shi Yuan ignored her advances and married Tu Yue, and she immediately married Lang Li. At the beginning, she showed off in front of Tu Yue, saying that she married a disabled orc, an ominous orc who was abandoned by the Dragon God.
And she, as the clan leader's wife, would have plenty of time to torture them in the future.
Later, Tu Yue became pregnant, but there was no news from her. Gradually, rumors spread in the tribe that she was a hen that did not lay eggs.
Her temper became more and more violent, and she blamed everything on Shi Yuan. If he had not married her, she would not have to bear such a bad reputation.
Behind the scenes, she told Langli not to share any meat with Shiyuan. She wanted Tuyue to have a miscarriage due to lack of food.
As a result, after Shiyuan finished his work on the hunting day, he went out hunting alone again. Not only did Tuyue not have a miscarriage, but the daughter she gave birth to was also extremely beautiful.
This made her hate it so much!
