Magician's Live Stocking Daily [Infinite]
Chapter 195 The tribe has pottery!
Plans can’t keep up with changes. Before Li Yang could arrange the soap making, she received another piece of good news.
The tribe has pottery!
In other words, there is pottery that can be recognized by the system and has no cracks and does not leak!
After nearly ten days of non-stop attempts, Jiang Ming finally figured out the characteristics of the soil and the temperature of the fire: he added some wood ash to the mud to reduce the shrinkage of the soil, making it easier to shape; inspired by the refining of limestone and shells, he built a small furnace with clay.
After a night of firing and keeping warm, early this morning, Jiang Ming, the master of handicraft, took out the pottery he had been dreaming of from the furnace.
There were six in a batch, all reddish brown, bright in color, hard in texture, and of uniform thickness. Only one had a small gap on the bottom due to improper placement, but the others were perfect.
He carefully placed them into the river one by one to test whether they were indeed waterproof and could store water.
The pottery that entered the water did not crack, but became more beautiful as the dust was washed away. The clear river water in the red bowl reflected a gray face.
Holding the hard-earned success of his labor, the teenage child fell to the ground and started dropping little pearls.
Jiang Xun, who was passing by, thought that he had failed again and was feeling sad and self-blaming. Just as he was about to say something to comfort him, he saw this row of freshly-baked ceramic bowls and basins.
"Did you burn this?" Jiang Xun opened his mouth wide.
"Yeah." Jiang Ming wiped his tears and nodded, "I succeeded!"
Jiang Xun also squatted down and gently patted the crying little brother on the head: "Yes, you succeeded!"
The news spread throughout the tribe within ten minutes.
The cook touched the six little gadgets over and over again, wishing he could use them to make a new meal to celebrate again.
"No." Jiang Ming put the thing into his arms, "This is the first time I have made such a good pottery, I want to give it to the goddess! Thank her for always being willing to teach me and guide me, and not looking down on me for being stupid..."
The cook and the onlookers felt disappointed when they heard the first half of the sentence.
After listening to all of it, everyone wanted to slap themselves on the forehead. Look at how enlightened others are!
"So it was dedicated to the goddess?"
"Yes, that's what we should do."
"Without the Goddess, we wouldn't have fire, and we wouldn't know so much knowledge. It's all thanks to the Goddess!"
"Go, go!" Someone pushed Jiang Ming, "Just put these at the gate of the goddess's yard and give her a surprise!"
So, when Li Yang got up at noon, in addition to hearing the announcement of prosperity +8, she also saw a row of five square and round pottery pieces beside the gate of the courtyard.
God of Architecture: [Hehe~ Where did this come from? Did it grow in the ground? Did it fall from the sky? No, it was given by the indigenous people (smile.jpg)]
Forest God: [So cute, I couldn't help but smile in front of the screen. Where is the god who insisted on killing them yesterday? Why aren't you smiling? Are you born not to like smiling?]
God of Architecture: [@Keyboard God@Kill God Sprayer, Speak]
Li Yang was also very happy to receive the new gift. She seemed to understand a little bit how the gods felt when they gave gifts to her.
It feels great to get a positive response to something you work hard on!
The thoughtful goddess left these pottery bowls and gave the entire tribe two days off so that everyone could rest freely.
However, not being assigned specific tasks does not mean that they have nothing to do.
The people in the tribe are discussing building two larger and stronger furnaces in the next two days, so that they can be used for firing porcelain, burning lime, and smelting iron.
Seeing that they had their own plans in mind, Li Yang did not intend to intervene too much. She just taught Jiang Ming the mud strip coiling method before leaving.
She found that the pottery was mainly bowls and bottles, and overall they were not very large. One reason was that the furnace was not big enough, but another reason might be that Jiang Ming had not yet learned how to make large vessels.
However, young people have no shortage of time and courage to try new things. If they can solve these difficulties one by one, the tribe will always get better and better.
Before this, the tribe still relied on those few buckets for daily drinking water.
After another two or three days, the furnace was completed and everyone had rested enough. Those who were unable to rest planned to start smelting iron.
The main force in iron smelting is still that group of strong laborers.
They need to use hammers to break up the ore containing iron ore particles so that it can be fully exposed to the flame during firing.
This part is super tiring.
After taking turns to hammer for only a short while, Li Yang heard screams and cries for help:
"Ying Yi? What's wrong with you?"
"Why did he fall down suddenly?"
The labor force was in chaos. Some people even almost hit their hands in the panic. Some people ran up the mountain to ask Li Yang for help.
Ji Siyuan and Jiang Xun, the only two people with medical skills, tormented him for a while, and finally came to the conclusion:
"Not dead, just fainted temporarily."
"It's too hot. Let's carry him under a tree to rest first." Ji Siyuan said calmly.
Jiang Xun went to the river and scooped some cool river water to feed him.
After a long while, Ying Yi finally woke up.
Li Yang, who arrived late, used healing magic on him and then re-planned the work plan:
"From today on, do whatever you need to do in the morning or evening when the weather is not so hot. Don't rush to catch up. Take turns with others. If you feel unwell, go to the side and rest."
Ying Yi was obviously suffering from heatstroke.
He put in the most effort, so he fell the fastest.
But in fact, the situation of others was not much better. Li Yang saw that everyone around her had red cheeks, sweat dripping down their foreheads, and the black mud on their bodies had been washed away.
If this continues, everyone will probably faint.
The weather is 42c now.
According to the clock on the wall of the cabin, this period is the hottest. After these three days, the temperature will drop back to below 40 degrees Celsius.
There is no rush to wait a little longer. After all, iron smelting is not as important as physical health.
