Chapter 378 Simple Stove, Open Kiln to Make Pottery!(4k, Ask for Subscription!)
After you are familiar with the steps of tile making.
Lu Yu gradually became handy.
All at once.
Flowing water.
It took less than an hour.
There were three piles of mud in front of him.
It has become a uniform specification, neat and orderly tile billet.
Pinch your fingers.
That's a hundred or so pieces!
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yu put the finished tile blank and laid the thatch.
One by one, they were laid out in front of the hut.
Looking at the fruits of his labor, Lu Yu let out a sigh of relief and said:
"Huh, everyone, the first step in tile making is over here. β
"Next, before the sun sets, we have to build the kiln first, and if it goes well, the tiles will be ready for the kiln in the next two days. β
Freshly printed tiles.
It is not possible to enter the kiln immediately.
It needs to be dried.
When the water in the soil is exhausted and the hardness is moderate, it is an excellent time to enter the kiln.
......
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Just went back to the hut and rested for a while.
Lu Yu got up from the bed and continued to play with the mud.
After waking up.
He first inspected the condition of the tiles.
During this time, the island is sunny and the climate is dry.
Although only a few hours have passed, the tile has basically been set after drying.
Water is lost quickly.
It is estimated that in another day and night, it should be about the same.
No surprises.
Tomorrow after noon, these freshly baked tiles will be able to turn into solid clay tiles.
After a morning of live broadcast, coupled with Lu Yu's decent display.
The audience's sense of anticipation and curiosity about the final result is also growing!
Most of these water friends in the live broadcast room live in the city all year round.
Where have you ever seen this?
Secondly, because there is no extreme survival live broadcast like super hardcore in this world!
If it weren't for Lu Yu.
They may never have the opportunity to see the charm and magic of primitive technology in their lifetime!
Feel the savagery and magnificence of the "Stone Age"!
"The anchor is a good cow!"
"Congratulations, the Builder achievement unlocked?"
"Looking forward to ING!"
"It's so enjoyable to watch!
"Two words: TM Professional!"
"The first hammer stone frog in the national costume is presented to the anchor Super Rocket Γ 1ββ Canyon Zone Builder?"
"Do you feel the fear from a three-year-old child, give the anchor energy drinkΓ 1ββ is worthy of being the most awesome outdoor anchor, it's too hardcore!"
"The yellow-haired sister gave the anchor an umbrella bagΓ 1ββ an anchor built an illegal building by himself, and earned one million a month!"
......
Thank you for the gifts.
Lu Yu stood with his arms crossed in front of the camera.
After a long time in the making.
He spoke leisurely:
"Friends, we have to make good use of this time in the tile. β
"And what I'm going to do next is the most important part of the whole firing task - building the kiln. β
"The quality of the kiln is the key to determining the yield of pottery. β
"At the same time, a well-built kiln will make the firing task twice as effective with half the effort. β
"The so-called kiln, is the pit for firing pottery, China is the earliest country in the world to use kilns to produce clay pottery products, as early as 3000 B.C., the primitive ancestors have begun to fire the primitive kiln to fire practical utensils. The most important reason why the English name of Huaxia is called CHINA is this. β
"This is our unique cultural label, and it is the best proof that an ancient civilization is ahead of the world. β
For primitive survival, the benefits of kilns are self-evident.
Not only can the tiles be fired.
You can also make pottery.
A lot of beautiful and practical containers and cooking utensils are made.
A brief introduction to the purpose of the kiln was given to the audience.
Lu Yu turned around and took the bamboo basket, went to the soil collection point, and came back with a large basket of clay.
The kiln does not have any special requirements for the mud.
The only thing to note is that the space inside the furnace should not be too small.
and must meet specifications.
That's the only way.
When firing pottery, it is necessary to ensure that the air circulation in the kiln is ensured.
Raise the temperature of the charcoal fire to its maximum.
So as to avoid accidents such as explosion kilns.
Lu Yu made a rough estimate.
A half-man high kiln.
At least two large baskets of mud are required.
If you include the grate, furnace channel, charcoal basin, kiln door, and smoke exhaust channel, there may be more.
But fortunately, the clay by the river is sufficient.
I saved myself a lot of effort.
Half an hour.
Lu Yu went back and forth three times in total.
It wasn't until I had enough mud that I sat back down in front of the workbench again and got busy.
"To make a kiln, you need to build the bottom and grille. β
"This is the first step, the grille is done, and then the steps such as building the inner wall and furnace tunnel are ......"
Between words.
Lu Yu took out a large ball of mud from the bamboo basket and fell on the stone slab.
Smackββ!
As usual, it is better to wake up the soil first.
Squeeze out the air inside the soil.
Makes the fluffy mud more compact.
Soon.
I rubbed and rubbed it for a while.
Lu Yu laid the clay ball flat on the stone slab and pressed it into a round clay cake with a diameter of about 40 centimeters and a thickness of about half a finger by hand.
Followed by.
After repairing the corners of the mud cake.
Lu Yu stretched out his finger again and poked a lot of honeycomb-shaped round holes on it.
"This mud cake is the stove head, also called the grate. β
"The grate, which is a tray used to support the tiles, is placed at the bottom of the kiln, and there is a reason why it is made into a honeycomb shape. β
"The honeycomb-shaped grate can play a role in retracting the flame, so that the charcoal fire in the furnace is more concentrated, so that the temperature in the kiln is naturally guaranteed. In the absence of a professional temperature control device, this method can easily make the temperature in the kiln reach the right temperature. β
"It's primitive, but it's very practical. β
"Don't underestimate this furnace grille, with it, the temperature in the kiln can be increased several times in an instant. β
"When it reaches seven or eight hundred degrees, it will no longer be ......"
The words fell.
Drones will fly willingly.
Zoom in closer.
Put every detail of the clay grille.
One by one, they were presented to the audience in front of the screen.
"It's so professional!"
"It's got a taste!"
"Juggernaut dΓ©jΓ vu!"
"Thirty years of professional mud playing!"

......
Got the grate.
Lu Yu put the slate in front of the bonfire and baked it.
Subsequently.
He picked up the stone axe.
In the middle of the camp, a spot was chosen.
A well-shaped furnace tunnel was dug.
The furnace is about 30 cm deep.
Barely passing.
Normally, the deeper the furnace tunnel, the more intense the fire.
But it can't be helped.
With the tools on hand at hand, it is already Lu Yu's limit to be able to dig to this extent.
"Guys, the furnace must not be dug too shallow. β
"If it's too shallow, the firepower can't be guaranteed, and this kind of problem will directly affect the firing time. If it is serious, it will even damage the grate, so you must dig a little deeper if you can, only in this way, the temperature in the kiln will not be too low. β
Tic-tac-toe furnace tunnel.
Staggered in pairs.
Although it is a little crooked, it is not very beautiful.
However, it does not affect normal use.
Dig the furnace tunnel.
Lu Yu placed some stones of the same size at the place where the ravines intersected each other
and lay clay on the perimeter.
Placed the grille, which was almost baked, up.
When the time comes, as long as the firewood is sent to the furnace tunnel, the flame will naturally pass through the honeycomb hole in the grate.
Let the temperature in the kiln reach the ideal state in a short time!
"The furnace of the earthen kiln is divided into single and double, and the advantage of a single furnace is that it is easy to make and not so cumbersome, but the disadvantages are also obvious. β
"That is, the temperature will be lacking, the temperature will rise slowly, and if the mud is not up to par, it will be extremely difficult to finally form. β
"If conditions permit, it is still a double furnace road. β
Place the grate.
And that's not all.
Immediately after, Lu Yu took a large ball of clay from the side that had already woken up and built a circle around the stove.
Make the kiln bottom stronger.
It is convenient to build the inner wall of the earthen kiln after that!
βOK......β
"After laying the bottom of the kiln, the next thing is much simpler, we only need to follow the bottom of the kiln, use clay to build it up in a circle, and finally seal it, and the main body of the kiln is done. β
When he spoke, Lu Yu's work on his hands did not stop.
Round and round.
Layer by layer.
It's only half an hour.
A rough and simple earthen kiln appeared in front of the audience!
The whole earthen kiln.
It looks like a little dirt bag.
It's very flattering.
The diameter is about half a meter.
The height is just waist-high.
Because the materials are solid and carefully made,
The inner wall of the earthen kiln is very thick.
The heat retention capacity should not be bad.
Through the sealing of the earthen kiln, you can vaguely see the grate at the bottom of the kiln and the bottom of the furnace tunnel.
Although the appearance is almost meaningless, it doesn't look so beautiful.
But there are a lot of details.
Not only well-structured.
It's also very cleverly designed!
At first glance, it looks like a work of art full of primitive atmosphere!
Looking at the earthen kiln in front of him, Lu Yu nodded again and again, seemingly very satisfied with the fruits of his labor.
And at this moment, the barrage is also very lively:
"I'm a giao!"
β66666666β
"There's really something about the streamer!"
"Is it okay to spread rumors?"
"Haha!"
......
glanced at the barrage with a casual glance.
Lu Yu briefly answered a few questions, and then said:
"That's basically the case with the kiln. β
"How's that, brothers?
"Of course, this is just a simple clay kiln, and it can't be compared with a professional, but for me, it's enough, and with this thing, the rest of the day, whether it's pottery or tiling, it's no longer a problem. β
"The newly built earthen kiln also needs to be dried, and it cannot be put into use immediately. β
"Strictly speaking, it takes at least one to two days to dry, but in fact, as long as the water volatilizes cleanly, we can open the kiln directly. β
As soon as I heard that the earthen kiln would be put into use.
The audience was also full of interest.
Quarrel non-stop in the barrage.
I watched in front of the screen all day, just to see this scene!
Looked at.
Lu Yu motioned for everyone to be calm, and turned back to the console again, taking a ball of clay:
"During this period of drying the kiln, let's not be idle, by the way, make some small things, and try the kiln temperature after the kiln is opened. β
Between words.
He split the clay he had kneaded in his hand in two.
Only half of it was taken.
The other half was set aside.
"When I escaped in the dark river, I lost my bark pot, which was the only cooking utensils I had. β
"Now we have a kiln and we harvest a lot of clay. So, taking this opportunity, I'm going to make a new batch of cooking utensils to explore the way...... For example, clay pots, clay bowls, clay pots and whatever. β
The words fell, and the complicated barrage in the live broadcast room hit again:
"The anchor is awesome!"
"Do you want to make your own pots and pans?"
"666, the struggle of contradictions, promote the development of human society!"
"It's incredible, I'm an adult, to watch a person play with mud so much fun, huh?"
β+1οΌβ
"No way, the live broadcast of the feather god is too hardcore!"
......
When there are different opinions.
The mud ball in his hand has been kneaded into a round mud cake by Lu Yu.
"Pottery is the most important household utensils of primitive people. β
"There are many shapes, including cooking utensils, eating utensils, storage containers, and common containers, etc., which are even more complicated according to the type of utensils. β
"During this time, I have been in the bamboo tube to get water, to be honest, it is a bit difficult to top, one is that cutting bamboo is too difficult, and the other is that the loss is fast, in order to save costs, this time we will directly step in place, all the pots and pans are made!"
Soon.
Fixed the size of the mud cake a bit.
Lu Yu took a little mud from another lump of mud.
Roll into strips by hand.
Then.
Carefully wrapped around the mud cake.
In fact, the steps of making any pottery are the same.
There is almost no difference.
Most of them do the chassis first.
Then, just like a kiln, you can use mud strips to wrap it around and around it.
"This kind of pottery making step can ensure the uniform shape of the clay pot to the greatest extent. β
"The most important thing is that it is beautiful, and when entering the kiln, the surface of the clay will not be heated unevenly, and even if the soil quality is not good, it will not crack easily. β
As he spoke, Lu Yu rubbed another mud strip and built it on the base.
That's it.
One after the other.
It didn't take long.
A clay pot about 30 centimeters high took shape.
After completion.
Lu Yu took some water from the bamboo tube, wet his palms, and smeared it on the surface of the clay pot.
Make it more even.
At the same time, doing so can also accelerate the hardening of clay to a certain extent.
After the finished clay pot was shown to the audience.
Lu Yu continued to get busy, and used up the remaining clay.
According to the above method, a lot of practical living utensils were made.
Pans.
The whole nine yards.
A clay pot, two clay bowls, a small cup, and a small pot with a handle.
It's all made of mud, but it looks like that.
"Brothers, fired pottery can be heated on a fire, and it is not afraid of water. β
"It's perfectly long-lasting!"
Accompanied by 6666 and countless cheers from the audience.
Lu Yu put aside the pots and pans, got up and walked to the earthen kiln, and observed.
After a period of drying, the moisture in the kiln has been evaporated.
Now.
It's the perfect time to open the kiln!
"Everyone, it's almost time to dry, and you can open the kiln......"
As he spoke, Lu Yu smiled excitedly at the audience, turned around and took a lot of firewood from the firewood on the side, and stuffed it into the pit under the earthen kiln.
"In ancient times, when the Chinese people fired the kiln for the first time, they would often hold various ceremonies to pray for a long distance. β
"Do you know? This custom has continued to this day, and it has not been abolished, and gradually, it has become a cultural ...... with a long history."
Turned around and took the tinder.
Lu Yu didn't say a word, and immediately lit the firewood in the furnace:
"But today, we won't do the ceremony, and we'll see the real chapter later!"
