Someone had to take care of the soil eggs and barley in the fields. Making bacon required a large amount of firewood. Hunting could not be neglected either. Not to mention, the priest had been working on the pottery recently. Watermark advertisement test Watermark advertisement test
Making the pottery required digging mud and firewood. It took a lot of effort.
Originally, they thought that the Ursa Major Tribe had a lot of people, but now … they felt that they did not have enough people.
Because they were too busy, even Yang Ying and Yang Su, who used to find opportunities to slack off, did not have the chance to do so now.
When Xiong Ye saw them these two days, he realized that they were much darker. Those who always glared at him did not have the time to glare at him anymore.
This was good.
But because they lacked manpower, they would not attack the Giant Tiger Tribe.
The Giant Tiger Tribe had more people than them, and they were also stronger. If they attacked the Giant Tiger Tribe, it was equivalent to running into the mouth of a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Hearing this, the little monkey was disappointed and looked a little pitiful.
Xiong Ye said again, "If you want to live in our tribe, you can't hide in your beast form all day and do nothing … Go and help the priest. You can't do heavy work, but you can knead mud."
This person was really weak. He was twelve years old, but his height was not even comparable to the ten year old children in their tribe. Not only that, he was also very weak.
It was probably because of this that the priest let him stay, but did not arrange any work for him.
But Xiong Ye felt that he had to do work. He did not have parents to raise him. He lived and ate in the tribe, so he had to do something to contribute to the tribe.
After instructing the child, Xiong Ye stood up and said to Zhou Ji, "Zhou Ji, I'll go dig the mud."
Zhou Ji said, "Wait."
"Is there anything else?" Xiong Ye asked.
Zhou Ji stood up from the recliner, "Today is the first day to burn pottery. Help me move the recliner over."
He didn't know much about burning pottery, so after a few words with the priest, he let the priest go about his business.
But now that the pottery was about to be burned, he had to take care of it.
Zhou Ji's recliner was made by a person who was good at carving. It was made from a large piece of wood. It was very thick and heavy. Usually, Xiong Ye or other people helped him move it.
Everyone felt that he would not be able to move it.
"Sit down," Xiong Ye said.
Zhou Ji glanced at Xiong Ye and sat down on the reclining chair. Then, Xiong Ye carried him along with the chair and moved them to the place where the priest planned to make pottery.
It was a mess there.
Some people were kneading the mud and making all kinds of strange things. They even made some rectangular bricks and hung them to the side. Next to the place where they were making the embryos, the priest had people dig a hole.
"Later on, when we burn the pottery, we'll put these things made of mud into the fire?" When the priest saw Zhou Ji, he immediately asked, "How long will it take?"
Zhou Ji did not know.
He had read about the method of making pottery from history books and some miscellaneous books, but he did not pay much attention to it. After many years of the apocalypse, he had completely forgotten about it.
"The Beast Deity doesn't like people who reap without sowing. We have to try it ourselves," Zhou Ji said. He couldn't tell these people everything. It was better for them to figure it out themselves.
Of course, he could help them a little. For example, he could use his spiritual power to observe the condition of the pottery and give some suggestions.
The things made of mud were placed in the middle of the big pit. There was a circle of bricks around it and a circle of firewood around it.
After everything was placed, someone lit the firewood around it.
The flames burned.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe looked at the huge fire pit and discussed, "What exactly is pottery?"
"I don't know either …"
"I heard that the Beast Deity said something to Zhou Ji again …"
"Do you think we can burn it out?"
"This fire pit … I think we can make one like this in the group cave. This way, when we burn it in winter, it will be very warm."
…
The flames burned very fiercely. Zhou Ji looked at the situation and felt that the pit was not dug well.
If the pit was dug diagonally, there would be a cover and it would be more warm.
Now, if he wanted to keep the fire burning, he would have to keep adding firewood to it.
It was already summer and the weather was extremely hot. Staying beside such a fire pit, everyone was sweating profusely.
The priest was still muttering, "We have already used 18 bundles of firewood. Now it's 19 bundles …"
Zhou Ji did not care about what the priest was thinking. Instead, he observed the situation in the fire.
After burning for about two hours, the priest asked, "Zhou Ji, is the pottery done?"
"No." Zhou Ji said. Some of the bricks were cracked. Some looked good, but the things in the middle had not become pottery.
Since it was not done, they had to continue burning it. The priest added more firewood.
While the people of the Big Bear Tribe were busy, the people of the Huge Pig Tribe, who were free because they did not need to hunt today, came to watch the show.
Zhu Zhan felt that the Big Bear Tribe was a little funny.
The people of the Beast Deity Palace worked hard for a year and could only make a few hundred pottery. It was said that the production method was very complicated. This Big Bear Tribe … was too childish!
They just took some mud and put it in the fire, and they wanted to make pottery? How was that possible!
According to the Beast Deity Palace, pottery was a treasure bestowed by the Beast Deity to the beastmen. How could it be made from mud?
However, pottery was really useful. Not to mention other things, pottery pots and bowls were much better than stone pots and bowls. They were also very light.
Of course, ordinary people did not have the chance to use pottery. In their tribe, pottery was a symbol of status. Some people would even grind broken pottery into jewelry and wear it.
"Didn't the Beast Deity Palace say that pottery is made from a special stone? What are they doing? They want to use mud to make pottery? "
"How can pottery be made from mud!"
"So much firewood, wasted just like that …"
The people of the Huge Pig Tribe looked at the scene in front of them and felt a little helpless.
Of course, the one who made them feel the most helpless was Zhou Ji.
At first, Zhou Ji was a little close to the fire pit. Later on, he felt that it was too hot, so he left the fire pit and went to the shade of a tree in the distance.
Then, someone immediately moved his deck chair over.
After that, Xiong Ye came back. After being called by him, he went to get some fruits and ate with him.
A person beside Zhu Zhan clicked his tongue and said: "This Zhou Ji really knows how to enjoy life? His days are even more comfortable than our tribe's priests. " For the sake of authority, the priest in their tribe had to run around every day, working himself to the bone. This Zhou Ji was different, they had been in Ursa Major Tribe for a few days, and every time they saw him, he would either be making food, or lying down and resting, or he would go out for a stroll and bring back some flowers and plants.
Yet, the people in the tribe still listened to him. Xiong Ye was even more so.
They had already realized that Xiong Ye was a low level beast warrior. He was even an expert among the low level beast warriors. In a few years, he would probably become a middle level beast warrior.
Such an expert actually only knew how to revolve around Zhou Ji …
Zhu Zhan looked down on him.
But they were after all outsiders, so they could not say anything …
Xiong Ye did not know that his actions were looked down upon by Zhu Zhan.
At this moment, he was being dragged by Zhou Ji to learn how to write.
Previously, when Zhou Ji asked him to do math problems, he already felt that it was very difficult. He did not expect that now, he would actually encounter something even more difficult!
These words … what exactly were they?!
In this world, there was actually such a difficult thing?
Just look at his own name … why was the word "Xiong" so difficult to write? He was a little regretful that he had awakened into a bear. But the words of other animals were also difficult to write!
He should not have named himself. He should be called "Yi Yi"!
In this primitive tribe, some people were like the people on Earth. They began to hope that they could be called "Yi Yi".
"Zhou Ji, why write? I think it's better to draw a bear." Xiong Ye said.
Zhou Ji said: "There are so many bears in this world. If you just draw a bear, who knows if it's you or someone else in the tribe?"
That's true … Xiong Ye nodded.
"But if you write Xiong Ye, then it's you." Zhou Ji said again.
Xiong Ye nodded again and said: "But … after a person dies, the priest will often give his name to the newborn in the tribe … There was actually a Xiong Ye before me."
Zhou Ji: "…" He really did not know about this …
Zhou Ji said: "You can carve your name and my name together on a stone for people in the future to see." It was actually quite difficult to teach some people who had never come into contact with words to write simplified characters. Zhou Ji did not have this intention at first.
But since he and Xiong Ye were going to be together for the rest of their lives, they had to find something to do.
Moreover, the meaning of words should be very important. With words, some knowledge and culture could be passed down.
Of course, it did not matter if it could not be passed down. He might not be able to use the iron pot for the rest of his life, so why would he care about culture …
Xiong Ye was very interested in Zhou Ji's suggestion. How good would it be to carve his and Zhou Ji's names on a stone and pass it down forever?
He suddenly had the motivation to learn how to write.
Zhou Ji slowly taught him how to write. While he was writing, he also knitted clothes.
He made clothes for Xiong Ye, but Xiong Ye did not wear them. After all, the clothes would be ruined once he transformed into his beast form.
In contrast, the animal skin skirt was much simpler. Even if it broke when he transformed into his beast form, he could pick it up when he transformed back into his human form and continue wearing it.
Zhou Ji thought about knitting a few animal skin skirts for Xiong Ye to wear.
He did not know if the people here would develop the same way as on Earth. If that was the case … the people in suits and leather shoes on the street would suddenly tear their clothes apart and turn into bears …
Zhou Ji suddenly wanted to see it.
Gradually, the sky darkened.
Today was not the day for the hunting team to hunt. As time passed, the people who went out to gather firewood also came back … Everyone gathered around the fire pit.
The priest even waved his hand and asked everyone to eat directly next to the fire pit.
After the priest said so, the people in the tribe went to the fire pit and started to roast potatoes and smoked meat at the side.
And among so many people, Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye ate the best.
Zhou Ji stir-fried the chili with oil, and then put the smoked meat and beans into the stir-fry. After stir-frying, it was eaten as a side dish with the roast potatoes. The taste was very good.
They even had more than this dish.
Previously, Zhou Ji had dried some mushrooms. Now, he even used pickled vegetables to cook a mushroom soup. In this era without MSG, such a soup was indescribably delicious.
The people of the Huge Pig Tribe looked on with envy.
Although they looked down on Zhou Ji, they had to admit that the food he cooked was really good!
Glancing at the food in front of Zhou Ji, they continued to eat their smoked meat and their eggs gloomily.
Actually, these were already very delicious. Why did they feel that the taste was not good enough?
It was not only the people of the Huge Pig Tribe who thought so.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe were also very greedy.
And at this moment, Zhou Ji said, "The things in the pit are almost burnt. There's no need to add firewood."
Relying on his spiritual power, Zhou Ji kept observing the situation in the pit and occasionally asked people to add firewood.
But even so, the bricks and pottery in the pit were burned into a mess, and they were basically cracked.
But at least … they were burnt into "pottery shards"?
Hearing Zhou Ji's words, the people of the Huge Pig Tribe were already prepared to see a joke.
How could it be so easy to make pottery? If the people of this tribe could really use mud and fire to make pottery, they would definitely worship Zhou Ji in the future!
The people of the Huge Pig Tribe did not believe that the people of the Big Bear Tribe could make pottery by playing around like this. But the people of the Big Bear Tribe believed in Zhou Ji very much.
"I wonder what pottery looks like …"
"When will the fire be extinguished?"
"Tonight, I must see pottery before I go to sleep!"
…
After not adding firewood into the pit, the fire in the pit slowly died out.
After burning for about seven hours, the fire was extinguished. The priest asked people to take out the red wood from the pit with tongs. Everyone finally saw the things in the middle.
A part of the bricks had already collapsed. The bowls and plates could not be seen clearly because it was dark …
They waited for almost an hour before someone transformed into a beast and went down to the pit to get the things out.
Many of the bricks were cracked. Some were red, and some were black. They looked strange. There were also some bricks that looked like pottery from the outside.
As for the bowls and plates that Zhou Ji asked people to make, most of them were broken.
"They're all broken." The priest was a little disappointed, but said, "This piece of pottery is quite beautiful. I want to use it to decorate my cave!"
"There's actually nothing that can be used." Zhou Ji found a plate that was barely intact from the pile of things and looked at it. Then he realized that there were some problems with the plate. He was afraid that it would break if he used it.
