Successful purification of salt ore means that the vine tribe will no longer be short of salt in the future. If the tribe grows and grows, it can even sell salt as a commodity.

After Jiang Xuan made a small can of salt, he temporarily stopped this very time-consuming work. The remaining salt ore can be left until it is rainy when there is nothing to do before purifying.

The next day, when Jiang Xuan ate a pot of stewed meat with salt, he was immersed in a huge sense of happiness and was almost burst into tears.

This is the taste of food!

Meat without salt is really hard to describe.

After solving the problem of salt, Jiang Xuan made two larger three-legged round pottery tripods with clay, as well as some pottery blanks such as spoons and spoons, which were placed in the dryness of the bamboo house.

Because there are more and more people eating now, it is obviously not enough to cook food with those two clay pots.

Cooking utensils like Sanzu Ceramics can solve this problem well.

The three-legged pottery cauldron has a large capacity and comes with three legs. It can be placed directly in the fire pit without having to be placed on a stone.

In addition, the three-legged pottery cauldron has two cauldron ears. After the food is cooked, you only need to use a wooden stick to pass through the cauldron ears to easily carry the pottery cauldron to another place.

Calm days always pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, nine days passed.

On April 9th, the weather has obviously changed from warmth to hotness, and the drizzle has turned into heavy rain or even heavy rain.

Whether it was the plants in the jungle or the grain and vegetables grown by the vine tribe, they all began to grow wildly, and there was a piece of green everywhere.

All of this means that spring has quietly left and summer has arrived with the heat.

"On April 9th, sunny, and summer begins."

When he woke up in the morning, Jiang Xuan engraved the "Lixia" solar term on his bamboo tube calendar, then put it away and walked out of the door.

At this time, the sky was blue and the sun had not yet risen. However, a few rays of sunlight penetrated the clouds, rendering the white clouds into the color of red glow.

"Go and see if the pottery has been burned successfully."

Jiang Xuan put the dried pottery in the Hengyan Kiln yesterday and burned it for a long time before going back to bed.

"Chief, wait for me."

Uncaria also ran over excitedly, and Red Peony, Shicao, and Nanxing all ran here one after another.

Jiang Xuan walked to the side of Hengyan Kiln and reached out to touch it. The kiln wall still had a residual heat, but it was no longer hot.

Jiang Xuan took off his stone knife, dug out the mud on the side of the horizontal flame kiln to seal the feed port, and then moved the large piece of sintered mud to expose the fired pottery in the furnace.

The first thing I took out were five spoons that scoop soup. The ones were made relatively thick and had a long handle. During the firing process, the handles of two spoons were broken, and the other three were burned more successfully.

"Hold it." Jiang Xuan handed the pottery spoon to Uncaria.

"Okay."

Uncared happily held the five spoons. He knew that this was a good thing. With this thing, there was no need to carry the pot and pour the soup in the future. He could directly scoop into the bowl with a spoon.

With excitement, Jiang Xuan carefully carried out a pottery cauldron from the furnace of Hengyan Kiln.

Jiang Xuan carefully checked and found that the firing was very successful and there were no cracks!

This is a round pottery cauldron with three legs and two ears, about 60 cm high and about 40 cm wide, very thick, and there is a cauldron cover on it.

The most conspicuous thing about this pottery cauldron is that its outer wall and cover are engraved with totem patterns of the vine tribe: a huge ancient vine wrapped around the steep stone mountain, like a giant dragon column.

When the pottery tripod appeared in front of everyone, everyone was excited.

It's not because it's burned perfectly, but because it has totem patterns engraved on it.

The totem pattern is of great significance to tribes. Things engraved with totem patterns will naturally give it special significance.

Even though this pottery cauldron is not so round or even rough, it is the best thing for the people of the Vine Tribe and does not accept rebuttals from outsiders.

Uncaria asked, "Chief, will we use it to cook in the future?"

"Yes, with the pottery, we can cook enough meals for twenty people at a time."

"That's great. The rice cooked by Tao Ding must be very delicious!"

The others also nodded. This was a pottery tripod with the totem pattern of the Vine Tribe!

"There is one inside."

Jiang Xuan also carried out another pottery cauldron from the furnace.

The totem patterns were also carved on the wall of this pottery tripod, and the fire was successfully fired.

With these two pottery cauldrons, it will not only make cooking much more convenient in the future, but also purifying salt ore will be much more convenient because it is large enough to accommodate more salt water at a time.

"Let's wash it first, and then go back and try our new pottery cauldron."

Jiang Xuan took the lead in picking up a pottery cauldron, Chishao picked up another one, and the two went to the stream to carefully clean the pottery cauldron.

Then, the two pottery cauldrons were taken back to the bamboo house and placed in the fire pit.

The three legs of the pottery tripod allow them to stand firmly in the fire pit, and you don’t have to worry about setting them up and just burn the fire.

Jiang Xuan placed the burning firewood under the pottery cauldron, and the flames kept licking the pottery cauldron, causing the pottery cauldron to gradually be heated.

In the first pottery cauldron, Jiang Xuan first added water, and then put various edible plant tuber in it, such as stone eggs, round potatoes, polygonatum, etc.

This is the rice that the Vine Tribe usually eats.

The second pottery cauldron, Jiang Xuan, waited until it was completely heated, then put some mutton oil, then add wild ginger and wild onion, stir-fry and then add water.

Then add the dried animal meat cut into small pieces, add many edible wild vegetable stems and leaves, and finally, Jiang Xuan adds some precious salt, covers the cauldron, and stews it slowly.

This is the meat and vegetables they usually eat.

Sometimes it is cooked with animal meat, sometimes it is cooked with fish, sometimes it is shrimp and crab, and even some edible insects.

It took a little time to cook these foods. Jiang Xuan asked Nanxing to watch the fire, and he and three other people went to the farmland to see the traps laid out yesterday.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

With the continuous reclaiming of land, the vine tribe now has more than a dozen acres of arable land, and rows of grain and vegetables are planted neatly on these arable land, which is very spectacular.

But the problem also follows.

Because all the edible plants gathered together, the herbivores in the nearby forests, including a large number of insects, gathered here, harming these immature grains and vegetables.

At present, the tourists can only catch the bugs with bare hands.

To deal with those wild beasts, Jiang Xuan and others need to set up traps.

In order to save these crops that were finally planted, Jiang Xuan and others laid a large number of traps around the arable land, rope traps, trigger traps, ground bows, etc.

These traps can catch or kill some wild beasts that steal crops and eat almost every day, adding meat to the vine tribe.

Even the bugs were caught by tourists one by one, and they used sticks to be skewed and eaten. If Jiang Xuan hadn't allowed them to eat raw, they could even eat them raw.

The way to eat it with a bite is very vigorous.

"Take a fat mountain rat back."

Jiang Xuan walked to the first trap and found a fat mountain rat with a trigger and a wooden stick with a head flattened by a wooden stick, weighing about two or three pounds.

This is also a good meat dish, you can take it back and bake it for food.

Jiang Xuan threw the mountain rat into the vine basket and continued to move forward.

The second trap is the lasso trap, but the rope of the lasso has been bitten off.

Chishao carefully observed the traces left on the ground and said, "It should have been a rabbit. The lasso must have hit its foot, so it bit off the rope and escaped. If the hook was hit by the neck, it would not be able to run away."

The four continued to move forward, some traps successfully captured prey, some traps did not trigger, some were triggered, but were run away by the prey.

But after walking around, they actually obtained more than a dozen small preys and filled a vine basket.

"Good gain, go back."

Jiang Xuan was in a happy mood. When he was clearing the land and farming, he did not expect that he could still harvest meat.

When they returned to the bamboo house, the food in the two pottery cauldrons had been cooked and the aroma was filled with fragrance.

"I'm hungry and eat!"

Jiang Xuan removed the firewood under the pottery cauldron, then opened the lid of the cauldron, and the steaming food suddenly emitted a more attractive fragrance.

Jiang Xuan took out his pottery bowl and chopsticks, used a long-handled spoon to scoop a large half of the cooked plant tuber, and then scooped some animal meat and wild vegetables from another pottery cauldron, and ate them in big mouthfuls while blowing.

"It smells good!"

Jiang Xuan was very satisfied with eating it. With salt, all the food seemed to be injected into the soul and tasted particularly sweet.

The others also started to eat. After they were full, they packed the food in clay pots and sent it to the tourists, so that they could continue working after they were full.

In order to give these tourists strength to work, Jiang Xuan was not stingy. There was almost no difference between the tourists and the food they ate, including putting salt in the food.

If these tourists were not given salt, they would sweat so much every day when they worked hard to open up the land and not long after, they would fall ill due to salt deficiency and would not be able to continue working.
