Chapter 73 I Play Mud in the Northeast

Real knowledge comes from practice. With Zhang Tian's fall like this, the people of the tribe immediately understood the difference between pottery and stone, and also knew that pottery should be handled with care in the future.

How chic it is when it falls, and how embarrassing it is when it is cleaned.

He gathered the fragments of pottery bowls together, and these fired pottery clay can be used as clinker, which can be added to the next firing clay, which can improve the yield rate. This is the so-called recycling, turning waste into treasure.

"How is it? Does it work?"

Lin Yu walked over, and three lynx cubs followed her. She just fed them some meat soup. Feeding is one of the effective ways to quickly build trust. This Twoleg has a chance.

"Water penetration test is being done, everything is normal at present."

Zhang Tian touched the outer wall of the clay pot, it was very dry, there was no sign of water seeping out, let alone the clay melting.

"The lynx is a national second-class protected animal. It's illegal for you to keep it as a pet, do you know that?"

He joked, opening his arms to the cubs, tsk-tucking.

The cubs stopped and stared at this strange guy vigilantly. Their ears were pricked up, and a tuft of dark gray tufts stood at the tip, adding a bit of momentum to it.

"use this."

Lin Yu poured some of the crushed viscera to him.

The cubs obviously knew that Lin Yu was tinkering with their food, they leaned close to her feet, rubbed their little heads and scratched with their fleshy claws, barking loudly.

"come here!"

Zhang Tian lured them with food, and the cubs immediately put aside their previous precautions, ran over with short legs, scrambling, rolling and crawling, licking the internal organs on the ground.

Zhang Tian took the opportunity to touch them.

The cubs whined impatiently, but did not resist. Perhaps it was because they were not born for a long time and had not yet learned how to protect their food. This is a good thing. It shows that they are not wild, and it is easy to build trust. A few more feedings are enough It makes them treat human beings as their own mothers and their own kind.

The cubs licked very clean, not letting go of a little bit of blood foam. After eating and drinking, they sat on the ground and washed their faces with their claws.

Lin Yu lightly kicked the butt of the little lynx on the left with his toe, and said, "This is only yours."

At first glance, the three cubs are almost the same, but if you look closely, you can still find some differences.

The cub on the left is obviously the thinnest of the three brothers. Its coat color is also the lightest. The spots on its back are also light gray. Its chest and belly are covered with fluffy white hair, but its tail is black. , while its two brothers both have bright yellow short tails.

Zhang Tian grabbed the nape of its neck and brought it up to his eyes.

"From now on, you will be called Black Tail."

He looked into Black Tail's amber eyes and said.

Heiwei's limbs were stiff in mid-air, and the nape of Destiny's neck was "caught". At this moment, it felt the majesty of its mother. It honestly looked at the big hairless face that was close at hand, and didn't dare to say anything. Silently remember the breath of this two-legged beast.

The children were overjoyed to learn that pottery comes from clay, and now they can play with mud in a fair way!

Zhang Tian instructed the children to knead the mud strips, and then use the mud strips to build shapes layer by layer.

Not long after, the men also joined in, playing more happily than the children, but the craftsmanship is uneven, and the things made by the tiger's head are the most abstract, looking crooked like handicrafts with a postmodern style.

Zhang Tian said: "Remember the bowl you made. Let's see whose bowl burns the most and whose bowl burns the most beautifully."

The men suddenly ignited a raging desire to win, and they kneaded pottery blanks more carefully.

This batch of pottery is mainly bowls, one hundred bowls, one for each person, and there is still a lot of surplus, in case the pottery bowls burn and crack, the quantity is not enough-seeing that most of the pottery blanks they knead are uneven in thickness, I'm afraid It will burn a lot.

Zhang Tian didn't say anything, no matter how badly or ugly they were made, they were all put into the kiln.

Failure is the mother of success. No one is born a craftsman. Even Dr. Lin, who is as clever as Dr. Lin, burned two bowls today?Although Lin Yu categorically denied this, he insisted that the two bowls were made by Zhang Tian... Oh, woman!
Zhang Tian also pinched a few discs and put them in, with a hole in the middle, which can be made into pottery wheels after being fired.

The men went into the mountains to search for a large number of branches, chopped them into firewood about one meter long, ignited them and put them in the fire.

"It smells so good!"

The strong aroma of food wafts in the air, more fragrant than ever before!The men sucked their noses frantically and their stomachs growled.

In the cave, Lin Yu taught the women to use pottery to cook, and the tiger tongue, which is a skilled knife, was responsible for handling the ingredients.

The grains are cleaned and poured into two large earthenware pots. In order to save time, the water is first boiled with stone cooking method, then poured into the earthenware pots, covered and boiled.

According to the instructions, Tiger Tongue cut open the belly of four fish that were about the size of a calf, removed the blood and internal organs, smeared the body of the fish with salt water, stuffed the stomach with perilla, mint, coltsfoot and other plants to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma.

The snow-white bear fat was heated and melted in the earthenware pot, and the faint smoke rose straight up until it boiled.

When the fish was put into the pot, it sizzled immediately, steaming hot air gushed out, and the fresh fragrance that the people of the tribe had never smelled filled the cave, and everyone swallowed hard.

Lin Yu holds a homemade spatula, fry one side until it is crispy, immediately turn over and fry the other side, then pour boiling water, cover the lid, wait for the soup to boil into milky white, then pour the original soup in the pot into a large pot, Fill up with boiling water, add diced mushrooms and chunks of winter bamboo shoots, and mix with the fish to create the ultimate deliciousness.

The children who were playing with mud outside ran back at this time, followed by the men, and everyone gathered around impatiently, looking curiously at the bottles and cans set up on the campfire.

But Lanhua immediately picked up sticks and drove the group of dirty children out of the cave to clean them.

The clean-washed children ran back in a hurry, for fear of missing the delicious food.

Seeing the wizard sister stirring the egg liquid in the bowl with two slender bamboo sticks, Bai asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Chopsticks. Use them instead of our hands to hold hot food."

Pour the egg liquid into the boiling oil and spread it into a cake shape.

Lin Yu waved the spatula, quickly fried it, and then put in all kinds of young leaves that the men couldn't name, stir-fried, sprinkled with a thin layer of refined salt, and the rich aroma was immediately unified by the king of all flavors Get up, composing a beautiful and harmonious movement, the men stretched their necks to sniff greedily, articulate.

The children's minds were attracted by the smell wafting from another pot.

Large pieces of calamus roots were boiled in the water. The children recognized the plant used to make sugar water, and they could smell the faint sweet scent in the air.

"Sister! Sister! The sugar water has changed color!"

Seeing the sugar water in the pot gradually becoming black, the children called Lin Yu eagerly to save their beloved sugar water.

Lin Yu was calm and calm, and methodically poured a small amount of boiling water to boil, then poured the bird's wings that had been fried until golden on both sides into the pot, and stir-fried them lightly, so that they were stained with sugar, and the sweet and fragrant taste also soaked into every mouthful. In an inch of flesh.

The children moved their index fingers. Just by looking at it with their eyes, they can already imagine the delicious taste of sugar wings blooming on the tip of their tongues. They have never eaten sweet bird wings!
Then fried bird breast meat, fried river prawns, fried insects, steamed fish head, fried "assorted"... Chef Lin cooked food in different ways, which amazed the tiger's tongue of his hands. I thought I was well versed in this way, but in fact I hadn't gotten started yet.

The lynx cubs were also attracted by the scent. Zhang Tian hugged his black tail, Xiao Xiao hugged his cub, and Lin Yu's catwoman grabbed the owner's trouser legs, raised her head and barked.

When the fragrance of millet porridge gushes out, when the snow-white fish soup is poured into bowls, when colorful and exquisite dishes are brought to the eyes one by one... It is the first time that the tribesmen know that rice can be eaten like this.

Lin Yu taught the people how to use chopsticks, but the clumsy men would never be able to learn it. The more they couldn't learn it, the more anxious they were, they picked it up and slipped away, picked it up again, and slipped away again... Seeing that the sky is constantly grasping the trick After grabbing the food on the plate, the men could only stretch their necks and stare anxiously.

"Get up! Get up for me!"

The tiger head roared, trying to control the chopsticks in his hand, as if he was in a desperate struggle with a flood of beasts, success was in sight, but he was touched by the tiger's claws, whether it was intentional or careless, his hand shook, and the bird's wings at the end of the chopsticks Immediately flew out, he was so angry that he screamed and jumped up to fight Tiger Claw desperately.

Everyone laughed, and the laughter and laughter floated out of the cave accompanied by the smoke and food aroma, and echoed in the mountains and forests shrouded in night.
