Chapter 78 Making pottery adobe! Competitive little Qi!
Hearing Ye Han's words, Su Xiaoqi suddenly became frustrated.
She dreamed last night about hunting!
In the dream, she was chasing a sheep in the bamboo forest.
I was still looking forward to this when I woke up. Unexpectedly, Ye Han refused directly.
"The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry."
"Take my word for it, I'm telling you, making pottery is a lot of fun."
Ye Han is good at tempting.
Su Xiaoqi thought about it and realized that this was what happened.
For people who grew up in the city, where did they make pottery?
No contact.
However, Su Xiaoqi had seen some pottery experience shops before.
Basically, for a few dozen yuan, you can make pottery by yourself, and it will be delivered to you after firing.
It was popular for a while.
But Su Xiaoqi has only seen it, not experienced it.
With this thought, she began to look forward to making pottery.
"Xiaoqi, you are being pinched by Ye Han."
"The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer. While my aunt is laughing, I am so heartbroken that I can't breathe."
"Sister, you are not alone. I feel the same way."
"I like Ye Han so much, but when I saw Ye Han and Xiao Qi flirting, I actually felt it was very sweet and wanted to lock this couple down. Is there any way I can be saved?"
"My Xiaoqi, don't like Ye Han. What's so good about him? Look at me. Even if I eat instant noodles, I'll give you a reward!"
“…..”
Many viewers felt very tortured.
While she liked Ye Han or Su Xiaoqi, she looked at the interaction between the two and smiled like an aunt.
What a sin!
Next, Ye Han and Su Xiaoqi had breakfast together.
After breakfast, Ye Han asked Su Xiaoqi to continue training her bow while he went to see the condition of the earthen kiln.
The process of training a bow is actually almost complete.
But Ye Han strives for perfection in everything he does, so he has to do it again.
He walked to the earthen kiln and took a look.
After one night, the earth kiln has dried a lot.
There are some cracks on the surface, which is normal.
However, Ye Han still filled in the cracks and put some mud on them.
Then he began to prepare the clay for pottery.
The first is soil.
There is still some soil left from the excavation yesterday, which can be used to make clay bricks for pottery.
Of course, it needs to be processed first.
Remove the impurities inside.
Ye Han had already prepared and brought a bamboo mat to use as a sieve.
Next, Ye Han began to sift the soil.
Some stones, grass roots, and even insects in the soil were all sifted out and thrown aside by Ye Han.
The soil left behind is relatively fine and suitable for making pottery.
The next step is to add water and drive with ease.
Add water and mud to Ye Han.
At this time, Su Xiaoqi couldn't bear the loneliness and ran over.
"Boss, you've started making pottery, why didn't you call me?"
Su Xiaoqi held a bamboo bow in one hand and stared at Ye Han.
"It hasn't started yet!"
"I'll definitely call you when it starts."
Ye Han spread his hands.
Then he looked at the bamboo bow in Su Xiaoqi's hand.
"Just wait, I'll wash my hands."
Ye Han walked to the stream, washed his hands, and took the bamboo bow from Su Xiaoqi's hand.
It's still warm and just finished baking.
Ye Han moved it a few times and felt it was almost ready. The shape was just right now.
He took the bamboo bow again, tried to aim, and assumed a posture of bending the bow to shoot at the big eagle.
"You can also make some gestures to see if they fit."
Ye Han gave Su Xiaoqi the bamboo bow to her.
Su Xiaoqi followed Ye Han's example, squinted a cigarette and looked at the bamboo bow.
"There's no bowstring or arrows here, so you can't see anything."
Su Xiaoqi couldn't understand.
"Fine."
"Anyway, as long as you don't feel awkward. If it feels comfortable in your hand, then there will be no problem."
"Put the bamboo bow aside and let's start making pottery."
Ye Han said.
When Su Xiaoqi heard this, she immediately became excited.
It’s time to start making pottery!
Ye Han waved, and the two squatted in front of a pile of reconciled mud.
Ye Han also spread a layer of broad leaves on the ground.
"Let's make a few bowls first and put out plates and other things."
"I also need to make a few clay pots to hold water and plants."
"In the future, you can also hold dried fruits, honey, etc."
Ye Han said.
Su Xiaoqi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Dried fruits, honey, these are all sweets, she likes to eat sweets very much.
"The plate is the easiest, you make a plate first."
Ye Han said.
However, this time Su Xiaoqi was a little unconvinced.
"The jar is the hardest to make, I want to make the jar."
“The plates are too unchallenging!”
Su Xiaoqi is very clever and clever. Ye Han asks her to do the simplest thing. Isn't this looking down on her?
"Okay, okay, you can make the jar, you can do it."
Ye Han smiled and did not argue with Su Xiaoqi.
He got started, grabbed a handful of mud, and started rubbing it.
Su Xiaoqi didn't know how to start, so she looked at Ye Han's movements and began to imitate them.
The step of kneading the clay is still very important.
The purpose is to remove the air from the clay and turn it into a smooth piece.
If there are cracks and air, it will easily break during the firing process.
Ye Han also picked up the clay and threw it on the ground, knocking out the air inside.
Su Xiaoqi learned well.
After the clay was almost processed, Ye Han began to make a plate shape.
Logically speaking, a blanking machine is required.
It's like a turntable. You put the clay on it and keep turning it, creating various shapes in the process.
But Ye Han doesn't have this kind of thing.
For players who simply rub their fingers together, no peripherals are needed.
The shape of the plate is the simplest. In Ye Han's hands, this piece of clay seemed to be given life and gradually took shape.
Su Xiaoqi observed Ye Han's movements and started making clay pots.
However, making the shape of a clay pot is inherently more difficult than a plate.
Su Xiaoqi soon discovered that the clay did not obey her orders at all.
The strength is reduced and the shape does not change.
When I got too strong, it was crushed again.
She frowned.
It’s really difficult!
However, this also aroused Su Xiaoqi's desire to win. She must succeed in making the clay pot and get a slap in the face!
She devoted herself wholeheartedly to making clay pots.
Ye Han has finished making a plate.
Of course, it can't be fired yet, it still needs to be placed in a cool place to dry.
Ye Han put the plate aside.
The position they were in was in the shadow next to the adobe, which was perfect for drying the pottery adobe.
Next, Ye Han continued to work and made the second plate.
He made three plates in total.
Then started making bowls again.
Bowls were a little more difficult than plates, but it was not a problem for Ye Han. He made three bowls easily.
Today I will be firing pottery for the first time. I will test it first and then increase the quantity later.
Ye Han plans to make three plates, three bowls, and three clay pots. Let's give it a try first.
When he completed the production of six pottery adobes, Su Xiaoqi finally struggled to make a prototype of a pottery pot.
Ye Han took one look and couldn't help laughing like a pig.
[The author has something to say]
I originally wanted to write at least five chapters and 10,000 words today, but I had diarrhea and could only write three chapters. This is really no excuse. I will definitely update it tomorrow and write at least five chapters. Thank you to every reader for your support!
