Because Lin Mu was anxious to realize his desire to turn grapes into wine, he grabbed Huang Yuan after the picnic and asked him to find suitable clay tomorrow. In Lin Mu's opinion, if it was too late to burn pottery, he was really worried about those The grapes are all broken, so he will die of regret! So Huang Yuan, who got the task, had a hurried breakfast the next day and followed Ryan to go out.
Huang Yuan's work was done very well. It took less than a day to find the suitable clay, and it was naturally the work of the strongmen to transport the clay back. And Patrik mobilized the people in the clan very well, letting them understand that pottery has many benefits for them, and everyone is very active in working.
Looking at the piles of soil, he didn't understand how to burn pottery, so he approached Huang Yuan and asked him what to do next.
"What can I do to help?"
Huang Yuan reached out and patted Lin Mu's shoulder, "Brother, you can do a lot. Next, I will teach them how to make pottery embryos. I hope those tall orcs can do this kind of work." The work is a little weak.
Lin Mu nodded, "Then when are you going to start?"
Huang Yuan looked up at the sun, "It's almost noon now, let's start in the afternoon."
Lin Mu nodded in agreement, thinking that Patrik had been busy all morning, and after talking to Huang Yuan, he was thinking about what to cook for him at noon.
Huang Yuan saw Lin Mu's expression of "I'm thinking, disturbing", so he didn't look for him to talk to him, and saw that Ryan came back from transporting soil again, so he went over.
Lin Mu looked at the field, and he couldn't help much, so he was going to go home and cook. He packed up all the empty bamboo tubes, put his own into the basket, and Lin Mu went home.
When Patrik came back, he knew that Lin Mu was cooking in it when he saw the smoke from the kitchen. He went to the kitchen to prepare to help, but Lin Mu pushed him out, "You go to the living room to sit and rest, and I have prepared tea for you there. Go quickly , go quickly."
Patric could only smile helplessly and went to the living room. Lin Mu felt sorry for himself and he was naturally happy, but the morning's work was not too tiring for him.
Patrik was sitting in the living room drinking the tea made by Lin Mu. Patrik unexpectedly liked the special bitter taste. This is Tieguanyin that Lin Mu found by accident. He still remembers Lin Mu's excitement at that time, and how cute his little red face was because of the excitement.
Because there is so little entertainment in this world, Lin Mu is extremely determined to find delicious food, and is happy to find any food that can improve the quality of life. Of course, as tea, Lin Mu also Class it as one of the food.
According to Lin Mu, tea is for drinking, so when Patrik finished drinking a large bowl of tea, Lin Mu just finished all the dishes.
Patrik looked at the dishes on the table. Today's dishes are extremely rich.
After eating, they didn't take a nap as usual, but went directly to the square. Lin Mu also brought his own tea, and later he just boiled water in a large pot on the square for them to drink.
When Lin Mu arrived, Lai Si and the others had already been there, Lin Mu smiled, it seemed that everyone was very curious about making pottery. However, he still didn't see Matt, but Lin Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The pain in Matt's heart made him wonder how to help him.
Lin Mu sighed helplessly. People say that time is the best antidote for pain, and some people say that the best way to forget a love injury is to start a new relationship. Neither fit.
Patrik saw that the other party was a little depressed, and saw that the other party's eyes seemed to be looking for someone. Thinking of the recent events, Patrik naturally knew what the other party was thinking, and he comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, it will be fine. "
Lin Mu smiled, "I believe it."
Lin Mu went to Huang Yuan and the others, and chatted about how to learn how to make pottery embryos, and then everyone started the task of this afternoon - playing with mud.
The method of making pottery embryos is not very difficult, but it is not easy to do it well, and this job is really not an easy task for orcs like Patrik. Pinched and deformed, females are better suited for the job. But there are too few females in this tribe. Looking at the soil on the field, how could the orcs have the heart to let the females do it, so they kept working hard, didn't they say that practice makes perfect.
A few people made some achievements in one afternoon. Lin Mu made two clay pots and three pots (well, they can be considered as the plates of the orcs.) As for Lai Si and the others, the results were similar to those of Lin Mu. It was two or three pieces, and Misha, who came late, made a few miniature bowls. The best result was of course Huang Yuan, and the best result of the orcs was to make a clay pot. And not to mention the big females, it's a little twisted. Lin Mu couldn't help thinking in his heart, can these things really be burned
Huang Yuan was already very satisfied with such results, the group he taught before was even worse, the orcs here had at least one achievement, while the previous tribe had zero results.
After the pottery embryos were made, they were taken to the woods to dry in the shade. Huang Yuan also arranged other matters for firing pottery, such as collecting firewood.
Because several people are very enthusiastic about making pottery embryos, they don't plan to go home for dinner, but eat barbecue directly in the square.
Because they had been busy all afternoon, these people were quite hungry, and their stomachs started to growl when they smelled the aroma of meat. Lin Mu also felt that the meat was delicious today.
After eating, they sat under the light of the raised fire for a while before being forcibly taken home by their respective orcs. They think that there is more time, and they like to play and they support it, but it is not good if they are too tired.
The next day, a few people rushed to the square to make pottery embryos after eating. To Lin Mu's surprise, Matt also came today. This incident made Lin Mu feel instantly better. And because of yesterday's experience, today's work went very smoothly, but Patrik felt a little bit happy because Lin Mu was happy because of the arrival of another orc. Li feels that he is qualified to eat delicious food, but he also knows that he is not qualified to show it, o(╯□╰)o.
In order not to mess up the pottery embryos made by several people, they each made their own marks.
I have been busy making pottery embryos for more than a week, and the first ones have been dried in the shade, so I can fire pottery today!
Because of their limited technology, they naturally couldn't use kilns to fire pottery, so they adopted the most ancient method of firing pottery. Naturally, they listened to Huang Yuan's talk about this method of firing pottery without a kiln.
The kiln-free pottery method, this method is to lay appropriate firewood on the ground, place the dried or dried pottery, and then surround the surrounding and top with dry firewood, and apply a thin layer of yellow mud (about 1 cm) on the outside , and leave small ventilation holes to avoid burning too fast. Then ignite the firewood on the ground and allow it to heat up naturally, and it can be burned on pottery in about two to eight hours. Because this method of firing pottery cannot control the heating rate, especially when the surrounding firewood is burned, the pottery is directly exposed to the air and can only be fired in an oxidizing atmosphere at a low temperature (below about 800°C), so the fired pottery is red or brown. . And part of the pottery in contact with plant ash is gray pottery or black pottery due to smoke.
Lin Mu has never been involved in this kind of professional knowledge, and the reason why Huang Yuan, who is a medical student, knows this is because he learned it from the Dai people, a minority in Yunnan, when he was traveling. At that time, I thought it was interesting, so I tried it out, but I never thought that one day I can use it to benefit the people, um... the beast people. No matter what, Huang Yuan was still very happy.
Because the quality of the pottery embryos they made is not good, and because their pottery-fired cloth is mature, their success rate of firing pottery for the first time is very low. Lin Mu has almost ten pottery embryos, only three of which are usable, and the others are not direct. If it is broken, there are cracks, and the successful ones still have some cracks, but because they can be used, Lin Mu doesn't take it to heart. What makes Lin Mu most happy is that there is a good clay pot among his three finished products , although the shape is not very good-looking, but the important thing is that it can be used, so Lin Mu decided to ask Patrik to pick some grapes for himself later.
Although the success rate is very low, it was successful no matter what. Several people were very happy with their finished products. They wondered how things made of soil could hold water. The water would be dirty, but the result was that Lin Mu The clear water remained clear under the demonstration, which made everyone really happy.
So, after Patrik announced the success of the pottery firing, everyone cheered.
