C77 - Pottery

There were many things that the Giant Pig Tribe had that the Big Bear Tribe didn’t have. For example, there was no sign of pottery anywhere in the Big Bear Tribe.

In addition, there were also some plants and other things that the Big Bear Tribe didn’t have.

However… For goods like pottery, the production methods and technology were actually in the hands of the Beast God Temple.

Zhu Zhan spoke, “Do you know why each and every one of the big tribes all support the Beast God Temple? It’s because there are many things that only the people of the Beast God Temple know how to make. For example, pottery.”

The priests for those big tribes were all arranged and selected by the Beast God Temple, and their knowledge wasn’t passed down from generation to generation. Those priests were all loyal to the Beast God Temple.

At the same time, the Beast God Temple controlled techniques that the other tribes didn’t have themselves, such as the knowledge required to make pottery.

Only the people of the Beast God Temple could make pottery, but pottery was more useful and effective than stone tools. That meant that in their Giant Pig Tribe, anyone with a smidgeon of status used pottery.

In addition to this, the people of the Beast God Temple also controlled the spread of various areas of other knowledge.

Zhu Zhan spoke a lot and then suddenly added, “Since your tribe has a messenger of the Beast God, you should be able to make pottery, right?” He was grateful to Zhou Ji for saving him, but to be honest, he didn’t believe that Zhou Ji was the Beast God’s messenger.

If he was really the Beast God’s messenger, why didn’t he stay at the Beast God Temple? Or at the very least, he should have appeared in a large tribe… The quality of life in the Big Bear Tribe was still incomparable to life in those big tribes.

The priest: “I’ll go ask!”

Zhu Zhan: “……”

Was the knowledge required to make things like pottery something that could be obtained simply by asking? Wasn’t that too simplistic?!

Take their Giant Pig Tribe as an example – they had always been envious of the Beast God Temple and wished that they could make pottery on their own. Yet what was the result? They had researched it for a very long time and still hadn’t figured it out.

As for going to the Beast God Temple and convincing their people to switch allegiances… The people there had great faith in the Beast God and would rather commit suicide than divulge any of its secrets!

However, the priest was full of confidence regarding Zhou Ji.

So, that day, Zhou Ji was basking in the sun at the entrance to his own cave when the priest came over and asked, “Zhou Ji, do you know anything about pottery?”

Zhou Ji: “Yes.”

See? He knew that Zhou Ji would know! The priest looked at Zhou Ji, “This pottery thing sounds very useful… How is it made?”

“Shape it out of mud and then burn it with fire.” Zhou Ji said.

Zhou Ji had always felt that stone tools weren’t easy to use. Now that the priest had mentioned pottery… It suddenly occurred to him that they could fire bake clay to make pottery.
