The fourth year of the establishment of the Mang tribe, and the middle of the fourth month of autumn.

After Chenbei successfully soaked sauerkraut, he promoted this experience to all and distributed the jars made in the pottery workshop so that everyone could make them.

Afterwards, as the weather became colder, the entire tribe began to repair houses and prepare for winter.

Considering the leak in the house before, Chenbei planned to burn a batch of tiles and try it out, replacing the roof made of bark and thatch with tiled roofs.

Chenbei summoned some people to help the pottery workshop to make tiles.

"This is called tiles. They can be stacked together and covered on the roof. They are not easily blown away by the wind, nor are they as easily leaked as thatched bark."

In the pottery workshop, Chenbei made a piece of tiles with clay to show everyone.

Then he found another piece of wood and said, "When we make it, first dig a tiles in the wood as a mold, then stick the clay on it and press it evenly. Each piece must be the same size. After pressing it, take it out and dry it in the shade."

"After the shade is dried, put all these muds into the kiln and fired. If successful, our tribe's roof will slowly replace them with these tiles."

The tiles are not difficult to make, but they require a lot of manpower.

Wu Teng thought for a while and said, "Chief, if you want so many tiles, you need a lot of mud. It's very slow to step on people. Didn't Lao Lu always say that the bisons in the breeding team can work? Can Lao Lu get the bisons over and let the cows step on the mud?"

"Yes, I forgot about this. Yes, it's much faster for the cow to step on the mud than the human."

Chenbei remembers that when he was very young in his previous life, the village burned tiles, which were mud trampled with cows.

"Yun, go and get the old deer and ask him to pull those buffaloes over."

"yes!"

Not long after, Yun brought the old deer and a few young men from the breeding team to bring the bison.

These bisons have been raised since childhood and have been raised for more than a year. Under the careful care of the breeding team, they have developed a certain relationship with people and are a little more docile.

Chenbeidao: "Let's start working. Let's dig clay by the river first, and then pick it up. The carpenter makes the mold. The old deer leads people to pull the bison and step on the mud, and the black vine leads people to make tiles."

"yes!"

Everyone went back to get the tools and then started doing their own things.

“Tu tu tu tu…”

The carpenter and several apprentices first used a carpenter ruler made by Chenbei to draw the size of the tiles in the wood, then used a stone chisel and a stone hammer to carve out the shape of the tiles on the wood, and a mold was made.

Woodworking rulers are definitely a powerful tool for standardization and batch manufacturing of things. They can ensure that the size of each mold is almost the same after it is manufactured.

Although carpenters do not recognize the scale numbers above, they can write down these numbers after using them too much and being proficient.

The right angle above the carpenter ruler was made by Chenbei using the theorem of hooking three-strand four-strand five, and even if there is a deviation, it is very small.

Soon, the first mold was made.

Gen gave the mold to Chenbei to see.

"Chief, look at this mold... Can the mold be used?"

The carpenter is not familiar with the new word "mold" and it is a bit strange.

Chen Bei touched it and it was still round and it was more than enough to make tiles.

"Yes, just do it as you like this. You must ensure that every mold is the same size, otherwise it will be difficult to build the roof at that time."

"Okay, then I'll keep working."

After being recognized by the leader, the carpenter also made a lot of thoughts. He and his apprentice continued to make tiles molds.

On the other hand, the clay diggers also came back with the clay.

There is a flat and clean floor in front of the pottery workshop, which is usually used to mix mud. They put the clay on the ground, poured some water on it, and mixed it with a stone hoe a few times.

"Old deer, pull the buffalo over." The man with the mud shouted.

"Here you come."

Lao Lu and the people from the breeding team pulled the buffalo over and led the buffalo back and forth on the clay. Then the people next to him turned the clay over with a stone hoe, and the buffalo continued to step on it, repeating this.

After the mud was reconciled, Wu Teng brought the mold with someone and then stuffed it into the mold with the kneaded clay.

The mold has a curve, so after filling the mud, you have to apply the mud evenly with your hands to create the same curve.

After finishing it, pour out the tiles and mud inside, hold them in both hands, and put them in the shed to dry the shade.

The prepared mud blank has a certain toughness and hardness and will not be soft. After drying, its hardness will be higher. Even if it is superimposed, it will not deform or break if it is carefully added.

This is why clay is used to make pottery and mud.

If it is digging randomly, even if it is made into mud, it will easily deform or simply break.

In the next few days, half of the people in the Mang Tribe were busy creating tiles.

Five days later, the first batch of dried tiles and muds were put into the kiln. Three earth kilns were burned at the same time, so that the tiles needed for a house could be burned out at one time.

After the fire burned for a day, the earth kiln was sealed and waited for the tiles inside to cool down slowly.

Two more days later, after the tiles inside cooled down, it was finally time to open the kiln.

The earth kiln was opened, and a large pile of gray tiles were neatly placed inside.

Wu Teng took out two tiles from it and handed them to the leader of Chenbei, saying, "Chief, look at it."

Chen Bei picked up two tiles and tapped them twice. The sound made by the tiles was relatively crisp, which means that the firing was successful.

"It's very good to burn, thank you everyone."

After hearing Chen Bei's words, everyone smiled. It would be a good thing to successfully cook it.

Next, Chenbei sent all these tiles into Qingzhu's yard, and asked people from the tribe who were good at building houses to come and remove all the bark and thatch on the roof.

After removing the bark and thatch, the carpenter and his apprentices made many wooden boards, fixed them on the roof, and then lay new tiles.

A few days later, Wu's house successfully turned into a mud brick house, much better than before.

After Wu's house was completed, the second batch of tiles were also burned. All the craftsmen kept changing the roof of Chenbei with tiles.

On the first day of changing to a new tiles, Chen Bei lay on the bed, looking at the layers of tiles on the roof, and smiled on his face. The mud brick and tile house was like what he remembered.

These two houses have become a wonder of the tribe. Almost everyone in the tribe will look up when passing by, and expect their roof to be replaced with such tiles.

But we have to wait next year, because before we know it, winter has arrived quietly.

The weather gradually became colder. One morning, after Chenbei got up, he found that a layer of white frost had condensed on the ground and roof.

"Frost is falling, and it is not far from snow. The annual sacrificial ceremony is about to begin again. How many totem warriors can be awakened this time?"
