    Thanks to lovely Xi Li for the reward, and thank you book friend 110410192204613 for the pink ticket. Today's second update is coming...

    In other words, after the charcoal is fired, there are many benefits. Small hot pot or barbecue horse, not to mention. Charcoal burns at a higher temperature and can be used to smelt iron (although no iron ore is found nearby) or to make pottery.

    Actually, when An Er heard that a broken pottery pot was exchanged for a prey of more than 200 catties, she thought of trying to make pottery by herself, but sadly, she could not find a suitable pottery clay , can only be stranded.

    Just do it! An'er chose an open space with a small **** by the Biqing River as the location of the charcoal kiln. The soil there is firm and clay, exactly in line with the conditions for the charcoal kiln in the notebook database.

    An'er directed Abu and Yingye by the side, dug a hole more than one meter deep as a carbonization chamber, and dug a flue and smoke exhaust holes at the back. When digging the charcoal kiln, many people from the tribe came to watch, wondering what new things Naruta Tasha had created!

    Since the trees cut down by the tribe were piled up at this time, there was no shortage of wood for burning charcoal. However, it would be a huge project to burn all the firewood. An'er didn't want to stay at the smoky charcoal burning scene all day, supervising the burning of charcoal.

    She taught the construction of the charcoal kiln and the method of firing charcoal to the adult laborers in the tribe, whoever likes to use charcoal will burn it by himself! Most of the clansmen in the tribe, after hearing about the benefits of charcoal from An'er, threw off their arms and started to build charcoal kilns. There are also some people who think that burning wood directly is enough, so why bother?

    An'er knows that when firing charcoal, black charcoal and white charcoal can be fired according to the degree of oxidation at the time of firing. Black charcoal is easy to burn, but not resistant to burning. And there is smoke. She plans to bake a part of it for use in the kitchen. As for white charcoal, it burns for a long time and does not emit smoke. It can be used for indoor heating, and it is also good for kang burning. An'er was frightened by the smoky fire when the kang was being burned.

    After the charcoal kiln was built, An'er led Ming and Da'er to put the chopped firewood against the kiln wall one by one in the carbonization chamber, and then use some flammable straw to dry it up. leaf. The firewood in the cave was lit. When the wood is burned to seven or eight minutes, the kiln will be closed.

    Closing the kiln is to close all the places that come into contact with the air in the charcoal kiln. After two days and two nights. Pull the kiln door open again. At this time, there were still some wood fires that were not completely extinguished, and the temperature in the charcoal kiln could reach sixty or seventy degrees. Abu and Yingye were naturally worried about letting their beloved woman go out of the kiln at the risk of being scalded, and strictly ordered her to wait until they returned from hunting before starting to produce charcoal.

    Abu go in. First put out the open fire in the charcoal kiln with water, then drill in with the eagle leaves and pass out the burned charcoal. They have to come out for air every two minutes, because they can't stand up in the cave. Because the air above the charcoal kiln is full of ash and cannot be used for breathing. An'er hurriedly opened the chimney to ventilate, and several people came in and out like this. Finally got all the charcoal out.

    Looking at the pile of charcoal piled by the kiln, at least 600 to 700 jin, An Er couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

    Charcoal from this. It's charcoal. With the success of An'er's charcoal firing, the charcoal kilns of other clansmen also produced charcoal one by one. An'er tossed the black charcoal for two more kilns, and then began to pound the white charcoal.

    White charcoal, which is fired charcoal in full contact with the air. formed after oxidation. so. The difficulty is even greater. First, when the wood in the kiln is almost burned, the upper part of the charcoal kiln should be dug up, the charcoal should be pulled out, and then buried with wet sand to extinguish the charcoal fire.

    Abu and Yingye, facing the heat wave from the charcoal kiln, hooked out the burning charcoal one by one, An'er and Ming shoveled sand and covered it... After more than half a month, the charcoal that An'er wanted was finally fired.

    At this time, winter has come quietly. The tribe began to discuss the exchange of the early winter market. A few days ago, the Atayal tribe's hunting team went out into the depths of the jungle, and the half-day hunting activity returned to the original full-day.

      Comparing the two big guys, a bison is at least three or four hundred pounds, and a wild wolf and a hyena also look like one or two hundred pounds.

    In addition, they also caught a smooth-skinned saber-toothed tiger. Seeing the gorgeous fur interlaced with blue and yellow, An'er moved in her heart and leaned over to identify it carefully. She was slightly relieved to find that the saber-toothed tiger that was being hunted was not the tiger with cubs she saw last time.

      I'm afraid that I can't survive in the forest where the weak eat the strong.

    I don't know how Xiao Xiao is doing now? She suddenly had the thought of wanting to take a look. It's a pity that her idea is destined to not get the support of her man, and she, who is super crazy, doesn't know where Xiao Miao's ground is, she is powerless!

    On the eve of the departure of the market, the prey used by the tribe for exchange was already piled up. Before leaving, the men, women and children in the tribe happily held a celebration ceremony, wishing the exchange event a success.

    Especially the original Atayal people, looking at the hill-like prey, couldn't help but pour out excited waves. Just last year, in exchange for the large pottery, the tribe spent almost a month frugally, and finally gathered the prey.

    Because there is not enough prey to eat, the Atayal tribe rarely participates in the market in early winter. The teenagers who grew up in the tribe, except for the one where Abu was fortunate enough to participate in the past year, everyone else only heard the news about the market.

    Looking at so many prey this time, the teenagers in the clan were moved: There are so many prey, it should take a lot of people to transport it, right? Will they have a chance to see what the legendary market looks like?

    Patriarch Abu, wherever he goes these days, he will meet young people in the clan who have nothing to say and look at him with bright eyes. A thought to avoid.

    The closer he gets to the market, the more eyes he sees at home. The first (An'er) and the younger (Da'er) in the family, whether it is at the dinner table or on the kang, will look at him with such a smile, eyes that can talk, and strongly express their inner thoughts.

    "Cough! The market is a long way, and it is very dangerous to pass through a forest. You two, stay at home honestly!" The night before the market set off, Abu was in The two pairs of scorching eyes couldn't hold back at the dinner table, and he was busy expressing his attitude.

    "Ah—" The expressions on the two little faces were surprisingly consistent. Da'er was okay, knowing that he was young, and being in the team was a drag on everyone, but he was just pulling the food in the bowl in disappointment, turning his grief and anger into food.

    An'er was not so easy to deal with, she slapped her chopsticks on the table, raised her eyebrows, and said fiercely: "Abu, as the patriarch, you go back on your word, why do you believe in it!"

    Uh...not that serious? Three big men and one small man at the dinner table raised their heads and looked at her silently.

    An'er charged with a look of grievance: "You promised me a long time ago that I will participate in this market. Now I have changed my mind again.

    Yingye thought of something, and looked at Abu with schadenfreude. Abu glanced at him, turned his eyes away, thought for a moment, and said, "An, I'm worried about you! You can also see that this time to the market, everyone has to carry three or four hundred catties of prey. It's a ten-day journey, and if you can't walk halfway, it's impossible for someone to leave the prey and carry you. Moreover, the weather is getting colder and colder, we have to sleep in the woods at night, you will not be able to bear it!"

    Abu is very clear about An'er's degree of coldness. In the late autumn, he set the Kang on fire at home, and he would wake up from the heat every night. However, in order for An'er to sleep comfortably until dawn, he had to endure it.

    An'er ignored his advice and said eloquently, "Who wants you to back it up? I can go by myself! Isn't there a fire at night?" ? An'er added another sentence in her heart.

    Abu frowned, facing An Er, who was sometimes stubborn, he really didn't know what to do, so he turned his eyes for help to Yingye, who was eating meat.

    Ying Ye received his gaze, first stunned, and then gave him a bad smile. When Abu felt bad, the guy said: "I said Patriarch Abu, this is your fault! You clearly promised An'er, how can you return? Besides, there is nothing much to do in the tribe now. , the stored food will be fine until the end of next spring, the hunting team no longer needs to hunt, and it is not impossible to send a few more people to the market!"

    Abu saw An'er looking at Yingye gratefully, and a burst of anger rose in his heart. However, this anger was not directed at An'er. This guy Yingye will really take the opportunity to present it!

    He pursed his lips, and in An'er's pitiful eyes, he said with difficulty: "The city walls in the tribe have to be further repaired before the cold winter comes, An'er let the roots in the cultivated farmland, There is still a part that hasn't been dug out, and... that vegetable field is about to be harvested, and An'er can't go away, right?"

    Before An'er's anger came up again, Yingye hurriedly said: "The construction of the tribe is not in a hurry in the past few days, besides, there is no need for the tribe's warriors to be dispatched in full. There will always be some left behind, but it's a matter of how many people there are. As for the vegetable field, Xiaoxue and Yinghong are usually working on it, so it doesn't really matter if An'er stays or not!"

    Yingye said, An'er nodded and looked straight at him gratefully. On her tender and lovely little face, she almost didn't have the words "Good man!" written on her face.
