The second chapter!
The sun hung high in the sky, and the scorching temperature was at least 38 degrees Celsius. The sunlight sprinkled on the ground, making everything appear dizzy!
On the riverbank beside the Earth Tribe, other than the pregnant women, almost all the other women were standing by the river with fishing rods in their hands. They stood in a line and looked straight at the river, hoping that there would be fish on the hook!
In the past two days, most of the women in the tribe had already learned how to pick a hook and make a fishing rod. Other than not knowing how to fish, the Earth Tribe was already " proficient " in fishing.
But it didn't matter if he didn't know how to fish.
It was not inevitable that they would be unhooked. As long as one of the three fish could be forcefully pulled up, it would be easy for more than a hundred women to catch the food needed by the entire tribe.
At this moment.
Li Yan walked all the way from the tribe to the five furnaces by the river.
Seeing Li Yan arrive.
Instantly.
The women fishing by the river all had strange looks in their eyes as they greeted Li Yan,"
"Good afternoon, Yan!"
The men who had been waiting by the furnace grinned and greeted,""Good afternoon, Yan."
Among them, the tribe leader even walked in front of Li Yan and could not help but say,
"Yan, mud brick, continue, firing?”
During these three days.
Too many changes had happened to the Earth Tribe.
Putting aside the changes in the food supply, Li Yan was not worried about wasting the grilled fish and boiled fish that he could not finish every day. With the population of the Great Earth Tribe, it would be impossible for them to eat the fish until the fish supply went negative!
The biggest change was in the language.
Under Li Yan's special guidance, the tribesmen basically learned how to use good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. Moreover, their language was slightly more diverse.
For example, Earth was saying: Li Yan, are we going to continue making mud bricks today?
Actually…
Until now, the clansmen of the Earth Tribe still could not understand why Li Yan had made so many mud bricks. It couldn't be filled with water or eaten. Wasn't it a waste of energy?
Fortunately, the tribe was not short of food now, and all the men were free. Li Yan, the great benefactor of the tribe, wanted to make mud bricks, so he would help him do it.
Li Yan smiled and shook his head.
"No need. In the afternoon, we'll fire the clay tiles!"
Li Yan's words were very close to modern language. Moreover, he could guarantee that the clansmen of the Earth Tribe could basically understand what he was saying.
It wasn't that the Earth Tribe had developed to such an advanced stage in just three days, but rather that Li Yan had said similar things countless times over the past three days. He also explained what he meant.
Therefore, the clansmen of the Earth Tribe could understand it.
As expected.
Hearing that Li Yan did not need to continue making mud bricks, the men revealed an "oh" expression. Then, they became curious again."Mud tiles?"
They asked Li Yan!
"Clansmen, Yan, learn!" Li Yan said.
The meaning of this sentence was,"All of you, just follow me and learn!"
oh ~
The men all nodded. Then, like students, they scattered around Li Yan. Seeing Li Yan walk to the concrete that had been made long ago and start to mold the tiles, the men sat on the ground one after another and grabbed a handful of concrete. They slowly learned how to mold the tiles according to Li Yan's mold.
In Li Yan's mind, there were a total of eight forms of clay tiles!
However, although the other seven types of clay tiles were beautiful and exquisite, they were too complicated. With the creativity and knowledge of the ancient era, it would probably take a long time to imitate them and mass produce them.
However, mud tiles were only used for waterproof roofs. At least, it did not need to be upgraded to the level of art yet.
Therefore, Li Yan chose the simplest and easiest type of clay tile to learn. It was the kind of tile that was most commonly seen in the countryside in his previous life!
It was in a curved shape!
The groove in the middle allowed the rainwater to flow down.
Time passed quickly under such circumstances. The saying that there was strength in numbers was absolutely true, at least in this ancient era.
In less than an hour, a total of 3,000 mud tiles were molded.
Mud tiles were much smaller than mud bricks. One kiln could fire 500 tiles at the same time. If they squeezed a little more, 600 tiles would not be a problem.
With five furnaces and three thousand clay tiles, he could basically complete the firing in one go.
Therefore, after making 3,000 mud tiles, Li Yan quickly asked his clansmen to stop and move all the mud tiles into the entrance of the furnace.
As for the remaining clay tiles, he could continue to fire them tomorrow.
After putting all the clay tiles into the furnace, the next step was simple and monotonous. It was to light the fire, add firewood, concentrate the temperature, and seal the furnace…Let the high temperature turn the clay tiles into pottery!
There was no need to care about the furnace anymore.
He only needed to wait until tomorrow morning to open the furnace. Then, Li Yan let out a breath of turbid air. He smiled faintly and walked towards the empty space he had chosen.
Seeing that Li Yan didn't care about the furnace, Di, Kun…these people also stood up straight. They looked at each other, not understanding why Li Yan had just left.
However…
At this moment, they basically did not doubt anything Li Yan did.
Since Li Yan wasn't going to stay here, they immediately followed behind him. The group of men returned to the tribe in a grand manner.
As soon as he returned to the tribe, Li Yan saw Conch teaching the children how to weave baskets!
After all.
During the autumn and winter, the task of picking fruits depended entirely on women and children like them.
Perhaps it was because of the deep-rooted social status of the paternal system. Therefore, even though the fishing was done by the women and the basket weaving was learned by the women, the men basically had nothing to do. No woman had ever thought that the task of picking fruits in autumn and winter would be handed over to the men.
Li Yan looked at Conch's serious expression and smiled, thinking," If this girl was born in the 21st century, she might be a top student and become an excellent teacher!
Then, Li Yan led a group of men to the area where the tribe threw away the beast bones.
Li Yan planned to pick up a larger bone that looked like a shovel and use it to dig the soil quickly.
He was prepared to lay the foundation for his mud house!
