One is larger, with a flat surface and grooves, and it is used as a stone pound under the pad.

The other piece is in the shape of a short stick with a big end and a small end, which is used as a stone pestle.

He placed a fist-sized white mud ore in the center of the groove of the stone pound, and then crushed it with a stone pestle.

The soft white mud ore was quickly shattered into small pieces the size of a fingernail under the pounding of rocks that were not low in hardness.

Continue to crush until it becomes a powder, then take it out and put it in a basket aside for later use.

After more than half of the basket was filled with crushed white mud ore powder, Xu Le picked up the basket and shook it constantly to sift out the fine powder, and pour the coarse particles back into the stone pounder.

Repeat the grinding and sifting process.

A thick layer of off-white stone powder quickly accumulated on the ground, fine and uniform in texture.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"I'm dumbfounded... The anchor's skill tree is too broad!"

"This is not a few years of professional operation, it is impossible to have such a skilled movement..."

"I always thought that it would be ready to use if you paste it into a jar and make it into a jar. I didn't expect Mr. Xu Le to use such a professional process."

"Although I've said it many times, I still want to say it—Xu Le is awesome!"

Chapter 80 Practicing Mud!

A large pile of white mud ore, Xu Le ground about one-fifth of the amount.

It happened to be a little more than a basket of stones.

The white ash on the ground was piled up to more than 20 centimeters, and spread out evenly to form a small bag of soil.

It is said to be ash, but in fact it is still mixed with gravel the size of sesame seeds.

There's no way... The holes in the baskets are still no match for a professional sieving machine... Xu Le squatted down and pulled a few times while thinking.

Gather the plaster.

Then take a few square stones, surround the pile of ashes, and frame them into a square shape.

Then two coconut shells were taken, and the clear water inside was slowly poured into the framed pile of white plaster.

While pouring the water, stir it with a thin wooden stick.

The white mud, which can be dissolved in water, settled down and became a mud with a grayish color and a slightly rough texture.

And some impurities such as gravel fragments and residues were stirred up by small whirlpools and floated on the water surface.

"Skim the residue away."

Xu Le took the time to explain.

He scooped up the residue with the edge of the basket and poured it out, repeating this stirring and skimming action over and over again.

After ten minutes, the pile of plaster had turned into a mass of fine-textured mud.

"In fact, you need to use a sieve or gauze with finer holes to squeeze out the water to facilitate shaping."

"But I controlled the amount of water. After skimming off the slag, the water was mixed with the rest of the plaster, which happened to be slightly dilute but not too much."

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"Has anyone heard or seen it?"

"I did not get it……"

"I don't understand either..."

"I kind of understand... Is it like the process of taking urine and mud when I was a child?"

"Go away, it's disgusting upstairs, I'm eating."

"Hahahaha!"

"..."

Using a wooden stick to continue to mix the plaster and water evenly, Xu Le straightened the camera to face the mud in the square stone frame.

"That's it, with a bright face and a bright hand."

"In fact, there is still a little surplus of water, but I did not separate the ground under the white mud pile, and directly contacted the loose sand and stone layer."

"Water seeps down the sand layer."

"In order to speed up the penetration, we put another layer of stones on top of the white mud."

"Try to choose something as flat as possible."

After a while, a white mud pile covered with stones on all sides and above was completed.

Xu Le straightened up and slapped his waist.

As an old social animal like me, doing this kind of physical work that always has to bow your waist...it's too difficult for me...

"Eat something. I went and gathered some raspberries and prickly pears this morning."

Seeing Xu Le come to an end, Lin Xihan handed him a bunch of attractively colored berries.

Among the berries, there were also some black currant fruits that he collected the day before yesterday.

After two days of blackcurrant fruit storage, the color becomes darker and brighter.

"Raspberries and prickly pears?"

Xu Le smiled and teased, "These are not fun."

"Underestimate me?" Lin Xihan tilted her head slightly, squinting at Xu Le.

"No no."

After seeing Lin Xihan's expression, Xu Le hesitated for a second.

There is food delivered to your mouth, why do you have to be uncomfortable with yourself...

He lowered his head and bit a prickly pear from Lin Xihan's palm.

"Well, not bad."

"The fruit of Prickly Prunus is like a small tomato. The sour taste is dominant, slightly sweet and juicy."

"A kind of wild fruit that is very appetizing, and it is also good for the stomach."

Then he lowered his head and took a bite of a raspberry. After chewing in small bites, Xu Le continued:

"The raspberries are not chewy, and the taste is relatively low, but the aroma is very strong, and the taste is actually quite interesting."

"However... the black currant is more delicious."

He lowered his head to bite the overripe black currant fruit.

Lin Xihan's hand sank, and Xu Le took a bite.

What is more delicious?I won't give it to you... She blushed: "The one who makes you eat to quench your thirst and rest is not the one who makes you pick and choose and anger me!"

DUANG... DUANG... DUANG...

"It hurts, hurts, hurts..."

"Take it and eat it yourself!" Lin Xihan pushed the berries in front of Xu Le's face.

"Ah..." Xu Le tactically leaned back, "I'm holding my hand..."

He raised his hand and gestured.

After grinding and blending the white mud, his hands were covered with a thin layer of off-white mud.

There was a lot of dust on the surface of the semi-dry mud.

"I still have to wash..." Xu Le whispered.

Lin Xihan wrinkled her nose, poured the berries into one hand, and picked out a prickly pear.

"Really...open your mouth!"

"what……"

Prickly pear, raspberry, raspberry, prickly pear...

"Give me a blackcurrant..."

Lin Xihan picked out a black currant and fed it into her mouth.

"No."

"?_?" Xu Le.

After eating a small handful of berries, Lin Xihan went back contentedly and continued to feed Meng Yiyi Silly Baitian.

Xu Le continued to repeat the actions of grinding white mud ore, sieving residue, adding water and mud.

Two hours later, the white mud ore was processed!

Five square mud piles are stacked side by side.

"While the white clay is drying in the shade, let's make a simple casting machine."

Chapter 81 Drawing machine, simple structure!

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"What chicken?"

"Pimping chicken? Pimping a little...it's too early, isn't it?"

"The upstairs did it on purpose... Mr. Xu Le said it was a blanking machine, a machine that pulls mud blanks out of the shape when making pottery."

"Oh, I've seen it. When I went to the pottery hall to play last weekend, I put the mud on a machine, and when the switch was turned on, the machine started to run."

"Then use your hands or tools to shape the mud into the shape you want. I made a bowl, and when it's ready, it will be sent to the store by express delivery."

"Plugged in?"

"That's right, plug in the electricity and connect to the motor, otherwise how will the drawing machine turn?"

"Then Mr. Xu Le...how do you make a drawing machine? There's no electricity here..."

"...It seems to be the truth."

"Don't worry about him, it's over after watching. In the past few days, has Mr. Xu Le created few miracles?"

"..."

Xu Le picked out eight pieces of wood that were two to three centimeters thick from the pile of wood.

Each piece of wood is about one meter long.

Then I picked out a five or six centimeter thick log, about fifty centimeters in length.

"There is no electricity on the island, so we can only make the simplest wooden wheel drawing machine."

"Make the wooden wheel first."

He first took out the rough wood and peeled off the veneer on the surface.

Use a stone ax to carefully scrape off the wood tumors and other structures on the thick wood trunk to make a straight "bearing".

At a distance of about [-] centimeters from one end of the bearing, eight shallow marks at equal intervals were carved with a stone knife.

The depth of the shallow marks is less than two centimeters, and the shallow marks are slightly staggered up and down, and the staggered distance is about one centimeter.

Surrounding the rough wood, shallow marks form a staircase shape.

After simply handling the bearings, Xu Le peeled, polished and straightened eight thin wood sections of two to three centimeters in the same way.

At the position of the center point of the thin wood section, a groove of the same one centimeter square is carved out with a stone knife.

"The grooves of the thick and thin pieces of wood can bite into each other, like this."
