173 Pottery making

Ding Hao dragged Langton to talk about the benefits of pottery, which made Langdon so excited that he couldn't help it. Anyway, there was nothing to do at night, so the two of them went out after dinner. Called out Garnier and Ding Wang, no one would be able to do without the two of them.

Nuo Qi walked behind them with a gloomy face. Although he also heard Ding Wang's talk about the benefits of pottery, he was still a little upset.

If Nuo Qi followed Ding Wang, then why did Tony follow him?

"Why did he follow?" Ding Hao lowered his head in Tony's direction and asked Langton in a low voice.

"He's idle, so don't worry about him," Langdon replied in a low voice.

"Oh." Ding Hao nodded, and walked towards Sig's house. Ding Hao knew Sig very well, and he would never let go of such a good opportunity to join in the fun. If he knew such a fun thing, he didn't call him, so he must have made a fuss.

"Sig, we are going to make pottery, are you coming?" Ding Hao knocked on the door of Sig's house.

"I'm going! I'm going!" Sig walked out immediately, and Sale followed.

"Shall we start work now?" Ding Wang asked in surprise.

"Yes, some people really can't wait." Ding Hao gave Langton a sideways look.

Langton coughed twice and put on a serious look, "Haohao said that after the clay is made into pottery, it will be put into the fire for several days, anyway, there is nothing to do at night, right? "

"Okay..." Ding Wang sighed. He was actually very impatient. The clay can be made into clay bowls, pots, and casserole. In the future, they will stew soup, cook rice, and marinate sausages and bacon. There are many, and it can be popularized to improve everyone's food.

"Should we also call Corian? It will be much faster to ask him to help build the pottery kiln." Ding Hao thought for a while and couldn't let go of the free labor.

Many people heard their movements and walked out of the house, looking at them with curiosity in their eyes.

"Why don't we call everyone together and learn how to do it together?" Searle suggested.

"I don't have much time tonight, and it's my first time making pottery, so I don't need so many people. Haohao and I will try to make some pottery and bake it first. If it succeeds, we will teach everyone how to do it together." Ding Wang Shaking his head, the time tonight is relatively short. They have to hurry up and build a pottery kiln first, and then study the method of making pottery. Pottery is not something that can be made by just kneading mud and teaching it casually.

Saier felt that what Ding Wang said made sense, so he nodded with the orcs of the same clan as a greeting.

When they came to Corin's house, Corin was sitting in the yard, as if not surprised at their arrival.

"You know we're coming?"

"I know you won't be able to sit still after getting so much mud." Corian stood up, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

A group of people came to the warehouse, chose an open space nearby, and started to build pottery kilns. In the countryside, pottery firing is all small workshops, not as mechanized as those professional factories, which just suits their current situation.Pottery kilns are generally divided into horizontal cave kilns and vertical cave kilns. Ding Wang chose the more typical horizontal kiln, which consists of a burner, a fire chamber, a fire channel, and a kiln chamber. The kiln chamber is circular and has a kiln grate on the bottom. There are many fire holes on the grate, and the flame entering from the fire chamber reaches the kiln chamber through the fire channel and fire holes.

Sure enough, it was right to bring Corian. Ding Wang only needed to describe to him the appearance of the pottery kiln, and he built the frame of the pottery kiln.Speaking of which, the earth dragon is really convenient. When you insert your hands into the soil, you can get out one piece after another of strong clay bricks, and build a medium-sized pottery kiln by splicing them together. Together, there is not even a gap, as if it was built with a whole stone.

While Corian and the others were busy building pottery kilns, Ding Hao and Garnier were not idle. They had already begun to study how to make pottery. Small pottery can be kneaded directly by hand, but large pottery like pots and pots, You have to find another way.

The method of building clay strips is actually good. First, the mud embryos are kneaded into mud strips, spirally coiled from the bottom to the edge of the mouth, and smoothed inside and outside with hands and wooden paddles to make various shapes.

But this method is somewhat troublesome, you can't always use your hands in the future, right?Thinking of the roulettes that others used to make pottery, Ding Hao decided to give it a try. Garnier’s carpentry is very good. Ding Hao helped him make a wooden pottery cart, a round roulette, using the principle of leverage , made a pedal, as long as you step on it lightly, you can make the roulette turn, and the subsequent blank drawing will be carried out on the roulette of the pottery cart.

But it's easy to say, but it takes a lot of work to do it. They scrapped three pottery carts before they succeeded.

"Okay! Dad!" Ding Hao got a handful of clay, added water, and put it on the clay cart for a try. It was really convenient. As long as the force is controlled, a clay pot can be made in no time. Made in various styles according to personal preference.

"Our side is fine too." Ding Wang wiped the sweat from his brow. It took him a lot of effort to make holes in the fire chamber and the fire path.

As experiments, they made ten clay cups, ten clay pots, ten clay pots, and ten clay pots.
