I Am a Primitive Man

Chapter 331 Iron Bacteria

"Brother Cheng, what is that?"

Carrying a half-clay pot of loach, the overjoyed Bai Xuemei jumped to Han Cheng's side and let Han Cheng see what they had gained.

After a while, she saw something, pointed to a place not far from the river bank, and asked Han Cheng.

Han Cheng, who was also very excited to see these loaches, heard the words and looked in the direction Bai Xuemei pointed, and saw a piece of yellow and reddish thing on the river bank half a meter away from the river, with a glowing color on it. The sheen of some motor oil dripping into the water.

This thing is very common in small rivers, creeks, and mud ditches.

Later generations Han Cheng also asked adults this question when he was young, and the answer he got was eel urine.

Han Cheng firmly believed in this, and it was not until he grew up that he learned the true face of this thing from his teammates.

It's not eel urine, but iron bacteria.

Han Chengcheng told her the name of the iron bacteria.

Bai Xuemei didn't know what bacteria was, and she didn't ask carefully, she just nodded vigorously.

Han Cheng, who was in a good mood, took his empty card and loach, and happily returned to the tribe with Bai Xuemei and the others with the expectation of eating delicious food.

There is a famous dish, the name of which Han Cheng can't remember, but he can remember the recipe clearly.

First raise the loach in clean water for a few days, change the water frequently, and let it spit out the silt in its stomach.

Afterwards, put the live loach in a pot and add water to start cooking. When the water is hot and the loach can't stand it, put a piece of tofu in it.

These loach, which can't stand the hot water, will get into the cooler tofu, and then be cooked together...

The Qingque tribe has no beans, so naturally there is no tofu. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Han Cheng can only think about this dish in his heart.

However, there are many ways to eat loach, and it is not necessary to smash this one.

All the loach that was caught were killed, and then a kind of leaf called 'moulder tree' was found, and the loach was wrapped around it and pulled back to rub.

The surface of the leaves of the mulberry tree is very rough, which can pull the mucus off the body of the loach.

Afterwards, the belly was disemboweled and salted for an hour or two, and then fried in animal oil until the whole body was golden. The taste was surprisingly good.

The only downside is that there is no flour.

Otherwise, if you wrap it in flour and fry it in the pan, the taste will never be forgotten, and the child next door will cry again.

It seems that there is no need to be so troublesome. The loach fried in this way has already made everyone in the tribe full of praise, and their mouths are full of oil!

Although there were a lot of loaches caught this time, they couldn't stand up to the large number of people in the Qingque tribe, and there was not enough loach for each person.

Of course, such a small amount of loach is not enough to eat, so Chen and other young people began to imitate Han Cheng, and then made a card for catching loach, clamoring to catch all the loach in the river and eat it Lose.

Han Cheng also made it with them, and found a feather to tie the top of the card.

"Papa papa!"

A few soft sounds sounded on the bank of the river, and Han Cheng patted himself on the head vigorously.

Bai Xuemei, who was holding dozens of cards dressed in earthworms, was stunned, and hurried forward to grab Brother Cheng who was harming himself.

Of course, it wasn't that Han Cheng couldn't think about it, he wanted to take a picture of himself with a concussion, but he suddenly wanted to pass something.

"Down these cards and give me the jar!"

Han Cheng seemed extremely excited and said, before Bai Xuemei could react, he picked up the clay pot beside Bai Xuemei, and jumped off the river bank under Bai Xuemei's extremely shocked eyes.

I didn't jump into the river, and the river bed wasn't all water.

Han Cheng didn't care if the mud would stain his straw sandals, he came to the piece of iron bacteria that Bai Xuemei asked him about yesterday, found a piece of bark, and put these iron bacteria that were similar in color to rust Carefully put it into the jar with some soil below.

It's not surprising that he lost his composure, because he suddenly remembered something that his teammate said when he introduced the iron bacteria.

The iron content of these iron bacteria is very high!

Since the iron content is high, does that mean that these things can be used,

Refining out lumps of iron?

Even if these iron bacteria are not as productive as iron ore, as long as they can smelt some iron, even if they can only make a small iron knife or a small iron chisel!

With such a tool in hand, Han Chengcheng has the confidence to create a usable car!

Bai Xuemei and other people by the river didn't know why Shenzi suddenly became so excited, and why he also paid so much attention to those ordinary iron bacteria.

Can this thing be eaten too?

Just like salt, after adding it, it can make the food extra delicious?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but become excited. After the card was lowered along the river, they also followed Han Cheng's example, looking for iron bacteria and collecting them.

By the afternoon, such iron bacteria had already filled half a clay pot, weighing almost five or six catties.

Han Cheng dug out the iron bacteria in the jar, rolled it into a ball the size of a ping pong ball with his hands, and put it on a stone slab to dry.

These iron bacteria containing mud are heavier than mud of about the same size.

Han Cheng rejoiced in his heart, it seems that this iron weapon has something to do with it!

Shenzi's strange behavior quickly attracted attention in the Qingque tribe.

Something harder than rock? Stronger than stone?

Wu looked at the lumps of mud placed on the stone slab in front of him, and it was difficult to connect them with what Shenzi said just now.

The stone was the hardest and strongest thing that Wu and everyone in the Qingque Tribe had ever seen. He really couldn't imagine what it was that was harder and stronger than a stone.

Not only him, but also everyone in the Qingque tribe.

Would this thing be rock hard?

Wu looked at the mud ball on the far side, and murmured in his heart. The mud ball had the imprint he poked out with his finger just now.

This is ordinary mud, right?

Thinking of this, the doubts in his heart suddenly became less, because he remembered the pottery and cement in the tribe.

One of these two things is soil, and the other is plant ash that cannot be gathered into piles, and both of them can become extremely strong in the end...

Not long after this relief, doubts arose in my heart.

Miko said that he would use this so-called iron to create more useful tools.

This thing is harder than stone, how can it be built?

Can't figure it out, can't figure it out...

Wu shook his head, feeling dizzy all over.

Let's see what Shi Shenzi does next.

Wu used the old method again—wait and see.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Lu You's poem is really well written.

Han Cheng looked at the lumps of mud on the stone slab in front of him, feeling sincerely in his heart.

As for Wu and the others, Han Cheng is not going to explain too much now, everything will become clear when the iron is trained and the tools are made.
