Chapter 80: Practicing Mud!
A large pile of white mud ore, Xu Le grinded about one-fifth of the amount.
It's just a little more than a basket of stones.
The white ash on the ground was piled up more than 20 centimeters, evenly spread out into a small bag of soil.
It is said to be ash, but in fact it is still mixed with stone gravel the size of sesame seeds.
No way...... The porosity of the basket is still not as good as that of a professional sieve...... Xu Le thought as he squatted down and pulled a few times.
Gather the white plaster.
Then he took a few square stones, surrounded the ash pile, and framed them in a boxy shape.
Then take two coconut shells and slowly pour the water into the framed pile of white plaster.
While pouring water, stir with a thin wooden stick.
The white mud that can be melted into water settles down and becomes a grayish mud with a slightly rough texture.
Some impurities such as gravel fragments are stirred up by small whirlpools floating on the surface of the water.
"These residues are skimmed off and not used. β
Xu Le took the time to explain.
He scooped up the residue with the edge of the basket and poured it out, repeating the action of stirring and skimming.
After ten minutes, the white plaster pile turned into a lump of mud with a fine texture.
"In fact, you also need to use a sieve or gauze with finer holes to squeeze the water dry and make it easier to shape. β
"But I controlled the amount of water, and after skimming off the slag, the water mixed with the remaining white marl, which was a little dilute but not too much. β

"Does anyone understand or understand?"
"I don't understand ......"
"I don't understand ...... either"
"I kind of understand...... Isn't it like when I was a kid with urine and mud?"
", it's disgusting upstairs, I'm eating. β
"Hahahaha!"

Using a wooden stick to continue to mix the white plaster and water evenly, Xu Le straightened the camera, facing the mud in the square slate frame.
"That's it, face light hand light basin light. β
"There was still a slight surplus of water, but I didn't separate the ground from the white mud pile, and I came into direct contact with the loose layer of sand and gravel. β
"The water will penetrate down the sand layer. β
"In order to speed up the penetration, let's put another layer of stone on top of the white mud. β
"Try to choose something as flat as possible. β
In a short time, a pile of white mud covered with stones on all sides and above was completed.
Xu Le straightened up and hammered his waist.
I'm an old social animal, doing this kind of manual work that has to be hunched all the time...... It's so hard for my old man......
"Grab a bite to eat, I went in the morning to collect some raspberries and prunes. β
Lin Xihan saw that Xu Le was finished, and handed it to him with a bunch of attractively colored berries.
Among the berries, there are also some blackcurrant fruits that he collected the day before yesterday.
After two days of blackcurrant fruiting, the color becomes darker and brighter.
"Raspberries and prunes?"
Xu Le smiled and teased, "These are not good." β
"Underestimate me?" Lin Xihan tilted his head slightly to the side, squinting at Xu Le obliquely.
"No, no, no. β
After seeing Lin Xihan's expression, Xu Le was stunned.
If you have food to your mouth, why should you feel uncomfortable with yourself......
He lowered his head and bit a thorn from Lin Xihan's palm.
"Well, that's good. β
"The fruit of the prickly plum is like a small tomato. The sourness predominates, slightly sweet, and the juice is plentiful. β
"It's a very appetizing wild fruit, and it's also good for the stomach. β
After lowering his head and biting a raspberry again, and after chewing it in small bites, Xu Le continued:
"The raspberries don't have any chewiness and taste, but they have a strong aroma and are actually quite interesting to eat. β
"But...... Or blackcurrant fruit is more delicious. β
He looked down and bit down on the ripe blackcurrant fruit again.
Lin Xihan's hand sank downward, and Xu Le took a bite into the air.
What's better? I won't give it to you...... She blushed: "It's not for you to eat and quench your thirst and rest, not for you to pick and choose me!"
DUANG...... DUANG...... DUANG......
"Pain Pain Pain ......"
"Take it yourself and eat it!" Lin Xihan put the berry in his hand in front of Xu Le's face.
"Ah......" Xu Le leaned back tactically, "Aren't I 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 grayish-white mud.
The surface of the semi-dry mud is also stained with a lot of dust.
"I still have to wash ......," Xu Le whispered.
Lin Xihan wrinkled his nose, poured the berries into one hand, and picked out a thorny plum.
"Really...... Open your mouth!"
"Ah......h
Prunes, raspberries, raspberries, prunes......
"Give a blackcurrant ......"
Lin Xihan took out a blackcurrant and fed it to his mouth.
"Don't give. β
"ΰ²₯_ΰ²₯" Xu Le.
After eating a small handful of berries, Lin Xihan went back to continue feeding Meng Yiyi silly white sweet.
Xu Le continued to repeat the actions of grinding the white mud, sieving the slag, adding water and mud.
Two hours later, the white mud ore was processed!
Five square-shaped piles of mud are stacked side by side.
"When the white mud is dry, let's make a simple blank drawing machine. β
