National Games competition, what is that Daxia man doing?

Chapter 111 Making pottery (reward plus more)
He couldn't help being surprised, no matter how powerful he was, he still couldn't help feeling afraid of this rumored big guy.

At this moment, he was in a daze, how could dinosaurs appear?

In this world, since there are crocodiles, it proves that the species has evolved to a certain level, so the dinosaurs should be extinct no matter what.It doesn't make sense that there are both crocodiles and dinosaurs?

He asked this question in the live broadcast room, and the experts began to discuss it, but they didn't come to a conclusion for a while.This wonderful combination of biological evolution directly poked a big hole in the theory of biological evolution, and it couldn't be stopped all at once.

Yang Chuan saw that there was no result for a while, so he temporarily gave up his curiosity. This kind of problem is not something he can figure out.

"Okay, friends, we don't need to worry too much about the dinosaurs. My location is in the middle of the river, and large dinosaurs should not come to such a steep mountain forest. Now, I am ready to rest. Rest early, everyone, tomorrow, I will start making pottery, come and see if you have time."

After saying hello, Yang Chuan pretended to wash up with the water flowing from the bamboo pipe, and went directly into the small shed.

After a while, he sensed the camera and went directly into the different space farm.

In the wilderness, who would like to sleep in a small shed with air leakage on all sides, wouldn't it be good to go back and hug his own woman?

In the morning, after eating the love breakfast made by Shen Juan, Yang Chuan looked at all the tools in the farm, sighed, and returned to the dungeon.

After coming out of the small shed, Yang Chuan greeted everyone in the live broadcast room, and quickly fixed the roof of the bamboo house. This time, he finally bid farewell to the heavy rain.Using bamboo to make some tools for holding water, Yang Chuan came to the place where the ant nest was placed yesterday.

One night passed, and there was no longer an ant in the nest. Yang Chuan smashed it with a wooden stick, filled it with water, and started stirring.

"Students, if you want to make good pottery, the mud embryo is very important. You must ensure that there are no stones in the mud embryo. The mud embryo is very viscous and has no holes. Therefore, we need to mix the mud evenly. There is a saying, and The mud that comes out needs to be placed and let it cook."

As he spoke, he shook off the mud on his hands, washed his feet clean with water, stepped directly into the mud, and continued to explain at the same time.

"The process of cooking mud is not to heat it, but to place it so that the air in it can be discharged by itself, so that the mud embryo becomes compact. The pottery made from such mud embryo is perfect, and it will not Explosion occurred during the firing process."

"I don't have plastic film now, so I can only mix the mud as evenly as possible. Before making pottery, I beat it repeatedly to exhaust the air inside. The effect may not be as good as the process of cooked mud, but it can also It is helpful to a certain extent, and I am not using traditional yellow mud, but ant nests, so the process of picking stones is omitted."

Seventy to eighty catties of ant nests, in the end, he got about the same weight of white mud.Putting it aside, Yang Chuan found bamboo pieces, processed them with a knife, and officially started making pottery.

The audience watched attentively, especially the men, who were very interested in every step of Yang Chuan.

The tradition of Heximu has a long history, almost dating back to when every boy was very young. This kind of deep-rooted memory makes it impossible to forget the love he has had since childhood...

"Look, I don't have any tools at hand now, like the turntables and equipment used in some pottery shops, I don't have any here. Therefore, I can only use the most primitive method, kneading by hand."

He took out a large leaf that had been prepared before and spread it on the ground, and picked out a large piece from the pile of clay beside him. Yang Chuan began to shape the clay ball into a circle, then flatten it, explaining while rubbing.

"What I'm going to make now is a clay pot. It's not too big, but it shouldn't be too small. It's mainly used to hold things like jerky, so it doesn't need to be too strong. My first step What needs to be done is to make the bottom of the clay pot. This part is usually relatively thick, because it not only bears the weight of the pot itself, but also ensures that the things loaded in the future will not directly penetrate the bottom due to the heavy pressure. Therefore, we can make Make it thicker, so as not to shatter directly when placed on the ground a little heavier."

A disc the size of a basketball was quickly formed. Yang Chuan dipped his hands in water and carefully smeared it on the clay disc.

"What I'm doing now is to smooth the bottom, squeeze out the air that may exist, and smooth the gaps inside." He said, turning over the bottom that had already been wiped. Come over and start dabbing the other side.

Finding a temporary bamboo ruler, Yang Chuan measured it: "Not bad, a very standard circle, except for a little bit of difference in data."

As he said that, regardless of how the audience complained, he re-adjusted the disc and measured it again, and the error was much smaller.

Then dig the soil again and start to rub out long mud strips, about the thickness of your fingers. After rubbing, stick it to the edge of the round bottom and start to plate it.

While pressing the mud strips on the round bottom, he explained: "The method I use is called the pan-building method. The ancient people did not have those modern tools. They wanted to make pottery, and the method I used is the same. .Don’t look at a jar that seems huge, but it’s actually glued together bit by bit with sticks of clay.”

After being stained with water, Yang Chuan began to carefully press and smear the connection part. He did it very carefully. After all, this step is related to the foundation of the jar. If it leaks due to carelessness, it is a failure.

Make a circle, continue to rub the strips, and then put it on the plate, dip it in water and wipe it evenly.Smaller at the bottom, bigger in the middle, and smaller at the top, this work was repeated continuously. After a while, a large pot with a height of more than half a meter appeared in front of the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Wow, what a visual treat! I don't know why, I really like watching this kind of picture. It's really pleasing to watch a work of art from scratch in my little brother's hands."

"I feel the same way. The jar made by my brother feels so big. This thing should be called a jar, right?"

"Whatever it is, the little brother said it was a jar, it is just a jar!"

"My little brother is quite proficient in this technique. He looks more professional than the old master in our shop? Where did he learn it at such a young age?"

"The jar is so beautiful, huh? What are you doing, are you making a lid for it?"

"Well, it looks very similar, it should be a cover?"

"Ingenious, this girl has decided to forcefully marry him back!"

"Heh, how much did the sisters upstairs drink to make you look like this? Do you know how many women miss my husband? How dare you act like this here?"

Yang Chuan ignored it, and concentrated on making the next thing, ceramic pots, pots, pots, teacups, bowls, and plates.

After each item is made, it is placed on the leaves to dry in the shade without moving it.

After finishing, Yang Chuan quickly set up bamboo brackets on top of these still pottery, and then covered them with branches.

"Friends, these pottery can't be directly exposed to the sun. Although they dry faster, they are very prone to problems due to uneven heating. Therefore, we directly block the sun and let them dry naturally in the shade before they can be fired in the cellar. .”

After speaking, he walked to the side and washed his hands, and Yang Chuan looked at the large area again.

Two large urns, two clay pots, three pots of different sizes, one teapot, five cups, bowls and plates used up all the remaining materials. There are more than a dozen of each!
