133. Constant temperature (2 more)
Yan'er's learning ability is very strong, and she almost didn't need Chen Zhe's guidance to imitate his method to make an adobe pot, and after it was made, Chen Zhe specially put the two adobes together and compared them.
"That's good. ”
Chen Zhe nodded approvingly,
"You're out of school. ”
"Hey, thanks for the compliment. Yan'er said with a smile in her eyes.
Seeing that Yan'er was so good at making clay pots, Chen Zhe was relieved, he pointed to a large lump of clay on the ground, and arranged: "Yan'er, then you can make more clay pots, we have a lot of bacon, and we need a lot of clay pots." ”
"Okay. Yan'er obediently agreed.
While Yan'er was making clay pots, Chen Zhe began his invention again, this time he planned to make another adobe - casserole.
Because there are no cooking utensils in the camp, Chen Zhe's cooking techniques are relatively simple, and after obtaining prey, they generally cook them by barbecue, and there are no other cooking methods.
However, barbecued food tends to be hot and dry, and it is easy to get hot if you eat too much, and the protein of the food is denatured after barbecue, which is not conducive to the intake of the human body.
Therefore, Chen Zhe wants to change to other cooking methods, and the most important change in cooking methods is to rely on cooking utensils.
With a casserole, Chen Zhe can use boiled, stewed, and steamed cooking methods to process ingredients, which are healthier than direct grilling.
With an idea in mind, Chen Zhe immediately devoted himself to creation, and the process of making a clay pot was roughly similar to that of making a clay pot, and soon the image of a pot-bellied casserole was shaped.
Yan'er next to her saw it with sharp eyes, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Brother Xiao Chen, what are you doing?" This utensil looks round and cute, like a fat doll. ”
"Make a casserole. Chen Zhe said, "Aren't there a lot of wild vegetables growing near the camp? With the casserole, we can cook wild vegetable soup, so that we can eat healthier." ”
"It turned out to be a casserole!" Yan'er suddenly realized, then her beautiful eyes blinked, and she said with a whim, "By the way, Brother Xiao Chen, if there is a casserole, can we eat hot pot?"
"Fire, hot pot?" Chen Zhe was stunned for a while, and this little girl's thinking was a little out of the blue.
"Yes, the casserole can also be used for hot pot, right? It should be fine...... Yan'er said happily, "Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's sisters are all Sichuan girls, and they are very keen on eating hot pot." I'm really tired of the barbecue these days, we can try to make hot pot......"
Hearing this, Chen Zhe couldn't cry or laugh.
Originally, his original intention of making casserole was to eat healthily and avoid eating too much barbecue and getting angry.
It's good now, after eating the barbecue and eating hot pot, this is simply jumping into the fire pit, and it is difficult to think about it.
"Forget it...... After I go back, I will persuade them, they can't eat too presumptuously, eat wild vegetables for two days and then eat hot pot......" Chen Zhe made up his mind in his heart.
......
Chen Zhe and Yan'er are both ingenious types, and the two of them quickly mastered the production of adobe.
It didn't take long for the riverbed to be filled with adobe clay pots and casseroles.
Chen Zhe glanced down, the current amount of pottery was already considerable, and the adobe made before had been dried and could be used for firing.
Firing adobe is the most critical part of making pottery, and the effect of this link determines the quality of the final pottery.
Chen Zhe had a relevant understanding when he was doing his homework before, and knew that the adobe of pottery had to be sent to the kiln for firing.
The reason why the adobe is fired in an earthen kiln is that the firing of pottery requires extremely high temperatures, and the clay must be baked in the range of 1,000 degrees Celsius to 1,300 degrees Celsius before it can be qualitatively transformed into pottery.
If you fire it directly with a bonfire, it will not be possible to reach this specific temperature because the temperature in the open space is easy to disperse, and the quality of the fired pottery will be problematic.
But with Chen Zhe's current conditions, he couldn't find an earthen kiln at all.
It is not practical to temporarily open an earthen kiln nearby, not to mention the time and physical strength, and the nearby terrain conditions are not suitable for digging a clay kiln.
This made Chen Zhe a little uncomfortable - the plan to burn pottery has been completed for more than half of the time, and the chain can't be dropped in the key part, right?
Is it possible to burn the pottery directly with a bonfire?
In Chen Zhe's memory, it seems that there is also the craft of burning pottery directly with bonfires, and some residents of the southern islands used to build firewood directly, put clay adobe in the middle, and then light a fire to burn it.
However, the pottery fired in this way is of poor quality and has a low success rate, after all, when the pottery is fired outdoors, the temperature around the adobe is not easy to determine, and once there is a flame that does not reach the specified temperature, then the adobe around it cannot be fired into pottery......
In this way, it is equivalent to gambling.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhe fell into deep thought.
It would be nice to have a direct control of the temperature of the flame to ensure that the flame can always be kept between 1000 degrees Celsius and 1300 degrees Celsius, even when fired outdoors.
And with the idea of controlling the flames in his heart, Chen Zhe's eyes suddenly lit up.
Wait a minute......
Flames are actually a type of item.
Will the item upgrade system also be able to upgrade the flames?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhe hurriedly walked towards the bonfire.
Keep your eyes on the burning campfire, then wait for a moment.
A few seconds later, a miracle happened.
The item upgrade system really recognizes the flames!
[Item detected: A light red flame of 520 degrees Celsius.] 】
"Great!"
Chen Zhe was in ecstasy, the system was able to recognize the flame, which meant that it could upgrade the flame.
And being able to upgrade the flame means that Chen Zhe can control the temperature of the flame!
As long as the flame is constantly upgraded and upgraded to the range of 1000 degrees Celsius to 1300 degrees Celsius, then even if there is no clay kiln, Chen Zhe can still fire very successful pottery!
After confirming this matter, Chen Zhe began to go to the forest to cut wood.
Firing these pottery requires a large amount of firewood so that it can provide a constant supply of flames.
After Yan'er made the last adobe, she also came over to chop wood with Chen Zhe.
Soon the two of them brought back enough firewood, and built it up layer by layer around the adobe.
Seeing this, He Chen, the host of the live broadcast room, couldn't help asking: "Is Chen Zhe planning to directly make a fire and burn pottery?"
The commentator next to him couldn't help but chuckle: "If this is really the case, then Chen Zhe really disappointed me." ”
He had been waiting to find fault with Chen Zhe since just now, and after waiting for several hours, he finally found his flaws, and immediately said impatiently:
"If Chen Zhe wants to burn pottery directly on a bonfire, then he is very wrong, which shows that he knows nothing about firing pottery......
Anyone with a little common sense should know that pottery needs to be fired in an earthen kiln. ”
