Chapter 269: Chapter 270: Tile
Gaiyin nodded, called Yan Li over, whispered a few instructions, and then left with Su Tang.
Aunt Hua Mu was the consort of the previous Tribe chief--Uncle Huang Yuan, of the Piercing Stone Tribe.
Ever since Hong Guo taught her the techniques of molding mud embryos and placed the little females in charge of it under her management, Aunt Hua Mu felt that her back no longer ached, her legs no longer hurt, and she felt much more invigorated as a whole!
Seeing Su Tang arriving, she enthusiastically greeted, "Sugar Cub, how come you’re here?"
Su Tang let go of Gaiyin’s arm and walked forward with a smile, "I came to see how the tile firing is going, we will probably need it in a few days!"
Aunt Hua Mu nodded, got up, walked to a place, bent down to pick up a few tiles and handed them to Su Tang.
"Here, Yadang just had these delivered, are these the ones you were talking about?"
Su Tang happily took them, casually handed one to Gaiyin as well.
"Yes, exactly! These are the tiles!"
They were not like the bluish-grey tiles in her memories.
Because of the pottery clay, these tiles, once fired, show a creamy yellow color, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Thinking of the rows of Blue Stone Brick houses in the future, topped with creamy yellow tile roofs, neat and beautiful, it would instantly usher the tribal people into a well-off society!
Thinking about the bright future, Su Tang couldn’t help but grin foolishly.
Gaiyin helplessly shook his head, stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, of course, the kind without any force.
"Your drool is about to leak out..."
Su Tang hurriedly held back her laughter, randomly wiped at the corner of her mouth, found nothing, only then realized she had been tricked by Gaiyin!
Suddenly her face turned red with anger, "Stinky Tiger, you tricked me!"
Gaiyin hooked up the corner of his lips, and a hint of laughter was painted in his black vertical pupils, his seemingly through-reading eyes carried a whirl, which captured one’s attention and could hardly look away!
A breeze blew by, the silver hair on his forehead fluttering lightly, making one’s heart tickle!
Su Tang’s heart pounded, and her cheeks got hotter and hotter.
She knew the big tiger had always been handsome, but upon a closer look, he seemed even more handsome! My god, this is too unfair!
If it weren’t for Aunt Hua Mu watching from the side, perhaps the big tiger’s innocence would be lost!
She cleared her throat a bit, "Stinky Tiger! I won’t stoop to your level..."
Perhaps feeling somewhat guilty, Su Tang urgently shifted her gaze to Aunt Hua Mu before Gaiyin could speak.
Seeing Aunt Hua Mu watching her with a smile and a deep meaning, Su Tang wished she could immediately find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
She forced a nonchalant demeanor and started, "Aunt Hua Mu, how many of these tiles do we have already? We need as many as possible, the more the better. It doesn’t matter if we can’t use them all, we can store them for later so we can replace any broken roof tiles!"
Aunt Hua Mu sighed.
"These tiles really aren’t easy to mold. Once the molding is done, if only a little while is passed, the mud embryos of the tiles will end up flat on the ground. That’s why I asked your Uncle Huang Yuan to bring me a few brick stones to place the mud embryos on, only then it’s a little better!"
Su Tang understood.
Because tiles are arched, there’s no pressure point when they dry, which makes them easily deformed. However, it could also be due to the pottery clay being too soft.
"It seems you’ve gained some experience, Auntie! Haha! The tiles are hard work, you guys focus on that! Don’t worry about molding anything else for now!"
Aunt Hua Mu nodded, "Okay, I got it!"
However, seeing the floor filled with mud embryos, barely enough space to step on, Su Tang couldn’t help but frown slightly.
