When Professor Chen heard Qian Hao's question, he immediately waved his hand and said,
"This isn't an exaggeration at all. Although it's normal for animals to be smarter, the golden monkey that Zhou Ye saved is a little interesting.
After all, animals were animals. It was impossible for them to understand human orders. Those animals that could understand commands were specially trained.
This golden monkey didn't undergo any training, but it could understand Zhou Ye's orders. This was very rare.”
After listening to Professor Chen's explanation, Qian Hao and the others finally understood how rare this golden monkey was. They were all amazed by Zhou Ye's good luck.
He had accidentally saved a little monkey, but it was such a smart animal that it had attracted Professor Chen's attention.
Zhou Ye didn't know that his interaction with the little golden monkey would attract everyone's attention.
After interacting with the little monkey for a while and confirming that the little golden monkey could listen to him completely, Zhou Ye was very satisfied with the skill rewarded by the system.
He let the noisy little fellow sit beside him and stroked its beautiful golden fur as he said,
"It's time to give you a name. Otherwise, it's still inconvenient to keep calling you little guy. However, what should I name you?”
When the little golden monkey heard that Zhou Ye was going to give it a name, it immediately circled around Zhou Ye happily. It kept chirping to vent its excitement.
"Alright, alright, sit down first. I'll give you a name now.”
Zhou Ye comforted the little golden monkey and pondered. Then, his eyes lit up and he said happily.
"Haha, I got it. Since you're a golden monkey with golden fur, I'll call you Wukong.”
Although the little golden monkey did not know what Wukong meant, it knew that Wukong would be its name in the future.
With a name, Wukong jumped around happily like a child.
Zhou Ye was infected by Wukong's emotions when he saw how much Wukong liked the name he gave him. He laughed out loud.
The reason why Zhou Ye named the golden monkey Wukong was because he wanted to reminisce about Earth. He had transmigrated and would never be able to go back.
After playing with Wukong for a while, Zhou Ye had enough rest. He prepared to burn some charcoal.
Zhou Ye wanted to fire pottery. Without a professional coke oven, he could only make up for it with vigorous fire power.
Actually, the best fuel was coal. However, Zhou Ye didn't dare to expect to use coal. He could only settle for charcoal.
If one wanted to make pottery, the amount of charcoal needed was a lot. Otherwise, the pottery would not be able to burn through and could not be used at all.
If he wanted to gather enough charcoal to make pottery, Zhou Ye had to prepare it now. This was because he didn't have a professional charcoal cellar. It wasn't easy to make charcoal.
"Wukong, you're injured now, so stay at home obediently. I'll go get some wood.”
However, Wukong wanted to leave him at home. He seemed very unhappy. He pulled Zhou Ye's clothes and didn't let him go.
Zhou Ye comforted Wukong for a while before he calmed down.
After all, Zhou Ye was going to the forest to cut wood. It was inconvenient to bring the injured Wukong along. If Wukong wasn't injured, Zhou Ye would definitely be very happy to bring him along.
Zhou Ye took the stone axe and stone spear and walked into the forest again.
He found two fallen trees in the forest. To make it easier to transport them, Zhou Ye cut off the branches from the trees and prepared to transport them back separately.
Since they were going to make charcoal, the wood had to be thicker. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get too much charcoal.
The two dead trees were very big. Zhou Ye used a lot of strength to drag the two dead trees back to the camp.
When he returned to the camp, Zhou Ye was already exhausted. His clothes were already drenched.
When Wukong saw Zhou Ye return, he immediately acted like a lackey and placed a coconut in front of Zhou Ye.
Seeing how considerate Wukong was, he patted its head and said,
"Thank you, Wukong. I'm really thirsty. Take a coconut too. I'll open it for you.”
When Wukong heard that there were coconuts to drink, he immediately ran into the wooden house excitedly. He took the biggest coconut and came to Zhou Ye. He urged Zhou Ye to open it.
"Aiya, you little fellow, you're actually so sneaky. You gave me a small one and gave yourself a big one?”
Looking at Wukong's sneaky appearance, Zhou Ye couldn't help but feel extremely adorable.
Although he was very thirsty, Zhou Ye still opened the coconut for Wukong to drink first.
However, Wukong didn't drink it. He waited for Zhou Ye to open his coconut before enjoying the rare delicacy with Zhou Ye.
A man and a monkey sat side by side on the ground, drinking delicious coconut juice and enjoying this rare leisurely time.
After drinking the coconut juice, Zhou Ye moved the fire away from the bonfire. He randomly picked a few cassava and placed them into the fire. He was going to roast some cassava for lunch.
After placing the cassavas, Zhou Ye began to prepare the charcoal. He picked up the stone axe and cut the thick dead tree into small pieces about forty centimeters long.
In order to obtain better charcoal, the wood could not be too long or too thick. If it was too long or too thick, it might not be able to burn through the charcoal.
If the wood could not be burned through, the surface of the wood could only be carbonized, but the inside of the wood was intact.
When using such charcoal to make pottery, the temperature would not be high enough, and the pottery would not be fully crystallized. The pottery that was made in this way would not be useful at all.
He chopped the thick wood into wood that was as thick as an arm. As the stone axe wasn't sharp enough, Zhou Ye spent half an hour to chop less than 30 pounds of wood.
The wood was obviously not enough. One had to know that the charcoal needed to make pottery was at least two to three hundred catties.
To make so much charcoal, he would need to prepare at least 1,000 catties of wood.
It was a very time-consuming job to prepare the wood. The only fortunate thing was that the 1,000 jin of wood did not need to be all thick.
In the process of burning charcoal, a large part of the wood was used as a kindling.
He only needed some small branches to start the fire. This greatly reduced Zhou Ye's workload.
After the cassavas were roasted, Zhou Ye took them out of the charcoal fire to cool them down.
Wukong, who had been watching Zhou Ye work, saw Zhou Ye take out the cassavas and knew that it was their lunch. He squatted beside Zhou Ye.
Her bright eyes were fixed on the cassavas on the ground, looking anxious.
When Zhou Ye saw Wukong's eager eyes, he smiled and stroked Wukong's fur. He comforted the anxious Wukong.
"Don't be anxious. These cassava have just been taken out and are very hot.”
Wukong immediately squeaked and pointed at the cassavas on the ground. He asked Zhou Ye with anticipation. When could he eat them?
"Soon, soon. It'll be fine in a while. You'll be able to taste the roasted cassava later. When the time comes, you'll know what's delicious. I guarantee that you'll still want to eat it.”
