I am a Primitive Man

As far as Han Cheng knows, there are two ways to make iron pots.

One is cast from molten iron, and the other is formed by forging like iron.

The method of casting is relatively easy to understand, but the method of forging is a bit confusing.

After all, this is an iron pot, not other weapons and weapons, so the requirements are much higher!

Not only must it be round, but it must also ensure that it does not leak.

Under such circumstances, using the forging method to forge it like a weapon is a bit mysterious when you think about it.

But things that are more mysterious and unlikely to be realized in the imagination really exist.

When Han Cheng, a later generation, looked at China on the tip of his tongue, there was an introduction to Zhangqiu Iron Pot.

That thing was made by a skilled craftsman using the forging method.

However, although I know that the iron pot can be made by forging, and when I watched the program, some steps of forging were briefly mentioned on it, but because of the long history and the fact that Han Cheng also Just looking at it like a horse and a horse, a lot of attention is focused on the delicious food that looks mouth-watering, so I just know that there is such a thing that can achieve such an effect .

He really wanted the people in the tribe to get out the iron pot through this method. Han Cheng really didn't have such an idea for the time being.

At present, it is more reliable to use the casting method to get out the iron pot first.

After all, people in the tribe are more familiar with casting.

If you really want to make an iron pot through forging, you can only wait until the people in the tribe get out the iron pot according to the casting method, and then try to use the forging method.

Dashenzi Han now wants to eat a piece of iron pot cooking, but he can't think about it. It is impossible for the people in the tribe to give up the easier casting method and adopt the forging method.

The drawing of the pot given by Han Cheng is the kind of open-bottomed shape that is common in later generations, not a frying pan.

Han Cheng is not in a hurry to get out the frying pan with handle, which is used by Red Wolf and Big Big Wolf together.

Of course, it wasn't because after Han Cheng made it, he was worried that Bai Xuemei would hold such a weapon and throw it at him madly, and if he had nothing to do, he would practice his hands with a frying pan at him.

It's because when it comes to cooking, cooking, and steaming, the pan is far inferior to this round-bottomed open iron mouth.

The only place where the large open iron pan is not as good as the frying pan is when it is used for kang cakes, vegetable boxes, egg pancakes, fried buns and other food.

This is also the meaning of the existence of the pan.

If even such a point is compared, then the frying pan will never come out, and there will be no value of existence.

Many people can't resist the temptation from food,

After all, if you can eat delicious food through normal channels, there are not many people who are willing to eat bad food.

Not to mention that these people present have all followed Han Cheng to experience delicious food and experience delicious taste, and then run wildly on the road of food, turning into foodies!

After Han Cheng told them the effect of the iron pot,

And after directly making a comparison with the food of roasted meat, the enthusiasm of everyone present was mobilized!

All of them are gearing up and full of energy.

The person who made the mold, after carefully watching the drawings drawn by Han Cheng, and asking Han Cheng some other things about the iron pot, immediately began to move non-stop.

As for those iron smelters, because the mold has not been finished yet, although they are anxious in their hearts, they can only suppress this anxiety, and while they are urged twice from time to time, they are full of anxious waiting.

As for the mold, the professional mold-makers in the tribe are already very proficient in making it. Even if there is no master-level person like Heiwa here, there is no problem.

After all, the making of molds in the tribe has been developed for many years.

The iron pot was not made, and Han Cheng didn't have much thought to do other things. He just sat here and watched these people making molds here.

Things like beeswax have great uses, especially when making some more advanced molds.

Han Cheng is now looking at these people, how to put something like beeswax evenly and evenly on the outer mold that has been made.

This process is very meticulous, a special test of technology and patience.

It took about half a day for these few people to do it well.

At this time, the beeswax pasted on the outer layer of the mold already looks like a round bottom and pointed bottom pot with a diameter of more than half a meter!

After completing this task, the few people present took a short rest before starting the next task.

This work is to use the material that has been reconciled and used to make the mold to smear on the top of the 'pot' made of this layer of beeswax.

It is said to be smeared, but in fact the thickness is not much thinner than the outer layer.

After it is done and dried, it is already a few days later.

This is not because it takes such a long time for several people to make a mold, but it takes a long time for the mold to dry afterwards.

While waiting for the first mold to dry, these mold makers were not idle, and continued to manufacture some molds with different specifications.

After a few days, the original mold is dry, and the person who made the mold starts to heat the mold.

As the temperature rises, the beeswax in the middle of the mold melts, and the mold maker who is guarding the side supports him with his hand, tilts it carefully, and slowly fills the holes left from the top. Poured out.

This is where the great use of beeswax comes in.

This thing has a low melting point, and is also soft and easy to shape. It is a rare good thing when making molds.

Just like the mold of the iron pot now.

After melting the layer of beeswax in the mold and pouring it out, there is a model of the pot inside, which is exactly the same as the mold made with beeswax before.

And the poured beeswax can be recycled after a period of time and solidified.

And the furnace over there has already boiled a furnace of molten iron.

After confirming that the mold was easy to use, everyone started working together and lifted it to the side of the stove, then got out the molten iron and poured it into the hole reserved in advance along the mold.

The bright red, extremely high-temperature, relatively viscous liquid was poured in along the opening on the mold, steaming hot.

Han Cheng and the others, who were standing on the sidelines and watching, couldn't help but feel the same steam in their hearts.

Especially Han Cheng, the son of God in the tribe, couldn't help swallowing at the bright red molten iron.

The molten iron was poured in, and then cooled and solidified while Han Cheng and the others waited.

After doing this for a while, someone began to take a very rigid small saw and began to saw along the edge of the upper edge of the iron pot mold.

This process also takes time, even if there are three people working at the same time, sawing something with a small saw, it still took almost half an hour to saw it neatly.

There is a reason for being so careful.

Because it is not easy to make a mold once, please be careful with the mold. After this operation, it can be used many times in the future.

After sawing, several people carefully removed the upper layer of mold, and then the situation inside appeared in front of Han Cheng and others.

I saw an iron pot with a round bottom suddenly appearing here.

Different from the blackened iron pot soaked in oil that is common in later generations, this iron pot just made looks like the color of new iron just out of the oven. The color is not heavy, and it is a bit whitish. There is some blueness again.

If in later generations, someone told Han Cheng that looking at an iron pot would give him a thumping feeling, then Han Cheng would definitely think that this guy was really crazy and was bullying himself for not studying enough.

But now, Han Cheng himself really felt it!

He was really heartbroken!

There is actually a feeling of first love in the legend...

Quick, get it out!

Han Cheng couldn't wait to speak out, and then hurriedly reminded: Be careful, don't get burned.

The craftsmen nearby couldn't help getting excited when they saw Shenzi being so excited.

Naturally, the temperature of the iron pot has not dropped completely at this moment. In order to prevent the hands from being burned, they first used a long-handled iron tongs to pound back and forth on the edge of the iron pot that was still in the mold a few times to smooth it out. The looseness of the iron pan separates from the mold below.

Then someone pounded it harder and tilted it so that one side came out higher, and then someone took a thick stack of rags soaked in water and placed it on the edge of the protruding iron pot, and then used it Hold it with your hands, and lift it up vigorously, the iron pot is immediately and completely lifted out of the big mold below, and then carefully placed on the ground.

Seeing this, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile even wider on his face, and he couldn't wait to come over to see this freshly baked iron pot.

But the smile on Han Cheng's face soon became a little stiff.

Not only him, but the rest of the people who couldn't wait to surround them also looked a little dull or speechless when they looked at the scene in front of them.

Such a situation occurred, of course, because there was a problem with the iron pot that was just cast and freshly baked.

Just now, when the iron pot was still placed on the lower mold, nothing could be seen, but now when it is picked up, it will not work immediately.

I don't know if it's because of air bubbles or something else, but there are several small holes in the iron pot that was just cast!

The larger ones are about the size of soybeans, and the smaller ones are about the size of mung beans.

Everyone in the tribe knows that there should be no holes in the pot.

Pots with holes cannot be used.

It is precisely because of this that after seeing the situation at this time, everyone present will react in this way.

After waiting for such a long time, I finally got an iron pot, but it turned out to be a bad pot. This is really embarrassing and disappointing.

Han Cheng sniffed, adjusted his emotions, and then wanted to tell the people in the tribe not to be sad and disappointed, even if it was such a bad pot, he still had a way to use it.

It's not that Han Cheng is talking nonsense, but it can really be used.

In the past, in the later generations, there were cases where the pot leaked in the house.

In addition to asking the tinkerer to mend the pot, there is a simple and emergency way to use a little rice paste and paste it from the inside when the pot is a little hot.

After such an operation, the pot will temporarily not leak, and it is still possible to cook two or three meals.

Of course, if the paste is good sometimes, it can be used for two or three days.

But Han Cheng thought for a while and still didn't say this.

This is because the future of the tribe is still long, it can't just keep making bad pots, right?

The premise of repairing is that you can make good pots, instead of always repairing on the basis of bad pots that have been cast.

It's okay, let's put it here first, and find a small mold to cast it after a while.

Han Cheng took the lead to rescue everyone present from this embarrassment.

The people who were stunned for a while finally came to their senses. Some people blushed, some seemed a little flustered, and began to do what Han Cheng said, not directly at the large-scale pot as just now, but at the small-scale pot. The pot moved his hand.

Han Cheng stood on the sidelines and looked at the freshly baked cauldron, looking a little pity.

It's not a pity that iron was wasted.

These irons will not be wasted. After waiting, smash them with a sledgehammer, then get them into the iron smelting furnace and burn them with fire. After melting, they can be used again.

It's a pity that I want to eat iron pan cooking, but I need to push it back for some time...

I'm going to prepare the ingredients now, and I'm waiting to use the iron pot to make it. As soon as the iron pot is ready, I will use it to cook and taste it with everyone.

After standing here and waiting for a while, Han Cheng said this to everyone present, and then said this.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to answer, he turned around and left from here.

After a while, there was a scream of panic from the pig, and after a while, it became low again, and finally the sound was inaudible.

Everyone who makes iron pots here knows that this is Shenzi who is going to make braised pork

But now, everything is ready, the only difference is the iron pot!

At the moment, each of them seems to be spurred by something, and they are more active...
