Due to the long manufacturing cycle of the house, Ye Yan was not ready to build the house first, so he decided to intersperse it with other tasks, such as building a kiln to burn clay pots and other clay utensils, which was a very cool idea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mo Qing is still honestly preparing to dig the soil, but digging with clam shells is too slow, so that yesterday and today, it is only about a few tenths of a cubic meter, about 4 or 5 hundred catties. That's right, in fact, one cubic meter, this concept is so deceptive that it may look like a courier package to the naked eye, and a cubic meter of space can't even fit a person. But the weight of a cubic meter of soil is enough to reach the tonnage level, what concept, enough to crush you to death, that kind of taste no one wants to try.

After digging with clam shells for a long time, Mo Qing's arms were also overwhelmed, and the physical work of digging the soil was too reluctant for Mo Qing.

But she was able to persevere alone, which made Ye Yan have to admire.

Ye Yan looked at Mo Qing and felt a little distressed: "You can rest for a while, and I'll leave the rest to me, you must know how to combine work and rest." ”

Mo Qing stood with his hands in his hands, leaned forward slightly, looked at Ye Yan, and blinked his beautiful eyes: "Okay...... You've said that, and I can't argue with that. Hmph, that's amazing, you can always find the words to block the population. ”

Ye Yan looked at the sea: "No, I'm actually just an introverted 17-year-old boy." ”

Mo Qing: "......"

Ann: "......"

……

Ye Yan got his wish, Mo Qing sat obediently in the shade of the tree, crushed a piece of coconut meat, overflowed a little coconut oil, raised his somewhat sore arm, and applied it to some bare parts, natural sunscreen, very easy to use.

Ye Yan looked at a pile of soil that had just been dug up, it was more delicate, it seemed that there were not too many stones in the soil here, Mo Qing also deliberately picked up some stones, so it would be better, if you want to make clay ware, you must have fine soil, otherwise it will be difficult to use the potholes.

And the freshly dug soil needs to wait for it to dry before it can be used, and there is no water and mud around, seawater is absolutely unusable, because it contains too many inorganic salts and various organic matter, which may affect the stability of the clay ware, which is not what Ye Yan wants to see.

But there is no problem with this, Ye Yan still needs to make some preparations.

……

Ye Yan walked to the bamboo pile, he patted the bamboo, pointed at the camera, and said: "I can split these bamboos into some long bamboo strips, and then fix them on a shelf with a rope, this is the bed frame, and then you can spread palm leaves on it, it should be a very comfortable bed." ”

After explaining, Ye Yan took out a knife, broke down the bamboo, cut out some 2-meter-long bamboo segments, and then broke these bamboos from the middle, divided them into four, and divided them into some bamboo strips. In this way, the bamboo strips are relatively flat and undulating.

THE DIAMETER OF THESE BAMBOOS IS ABOUT 7-10CM, THAT IS TO SAY, A TWO-METER-LONG PIECE OF BAMBOO CAN PROVIDE A WIDTH OF ABOUT 21-31CM FOR YE YAN'S BED, AND THE WIDTH OF A BED FRAME IS ABOUT HALF A METER, BUT YE YAN IS NOT READY TO WRONGED HIMSELF, HE SET THE WIDTH TO 1.5 METERS AND TWO METERS LONG. This takes about 7 sections of bamboo.

After more than half an hour of processing, Ye Yan finally finished processing the bamboo strips, and outside the hut, the sun was already scorching, and the temperature of more than 30 degrees burned the air on the sea surface and twisted slightly.

Ye Yan wiped his sweat, and most of the bamboo he brought back was used to process it into bamboo strips, and then he took out four sections of one-meter round bamboo, which were directly about 10CM

This is still unprocessed, and is used as a foot for a bed frame, to keep it away from the ground.

Tie the bamboo strips with the head and tail on two sturdy tree trunks, with the smooth blue bamboo surface facing upwards, and tie them with ropes to make sure they will not loosen. Then bury part of the four round bamboos in the ground, rectangular with four points. For the up-facing part, cut out a diameter gap that is the same size as the skeleton at the bottom of the bed frame, so that it can be embedded in it and not easy to loosen, and then place the bed frame on top of it.

Ye Yan couldn't wait to try it, lay on it, moved it slightly, and found that it was quite stable, not bad. The second one is also concocted, placed on the left and right sides of the house, one meter apart, about 70cm above the ground, and then spread palm leaves or plantain leaves.

Looked at the sun, it was already noon, eating.

Roasted some meat as usual, and finished lunch with a coconut.

Ye Yan stayed under the shade of the trees, looked at the clouds in the sky, and said, "Now the new shelter is only a few walls, but we can already move in, there are better roofs and beds." ”

Mo Qing sighed silently: "What are you going to use to make a wall?"

Ye Yan thought for a while and said, "I want to build an earthen wall like those earthen buildings." ”

"Why go to great lengths to build an earthen wall?"

Ye Yan glanced at Mo Qing, looked at her with a curious look, and couldn't help but smile: "That's why I said that the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancestors are very high, and the earthen wall is made of soil, stone, and lime." Then embed firewood in it as a steel bar, the hardness of the well-crafted earthen wall can be comparable to that of reinforced concrete, and has good shockproof performance, and the earthen wall is insulated, warm in winter and cool in summer. ”

Mo Qing nodded and looked down at his toes: "Then what do you need me to do?"

Ye Yan thought for a while, gave the knife to Mo Qing, and said, "Well, you can go to the neighborhood and chop some palm leaves and come back and use them as mattresses." ”

Mo Qing was stunned for a moment, nodded, and immediately looked at the sea, and that extreme scenery existed silently in some unknown place on the earth.

At noon, when the sun is the most intense, it is a rare rest time for Ye Yan and Mo Qing, Ye Yan has always been working towards a "sustainable and civilized life", he knows that when there is no need for food and clothing here, it is the time to draw an end to the life on this island.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, preparations began.

Mo Qing went to the forest to cut palm leaves, and Ye Yan took the leftover coconut shells he ate, came to the beach, filled the coconut shells with seawater, and he went to prepare to go and mud.

That's right, Ye Yan plans to make a few clay pots first, Ye Yan doesn't need its quality, it just needs to be able to hold water. It is ten minutes away from the water source, and it takes half an hour to go back and forth, which is too troublesome to get water, and it takes water and mud to make clay. No way, Ye Yan didn't think of this section at first.

After a few rounds of water back and forth, Ye Yan made mud in the pit dug by Mo Qing, and the water can't be too much, how can you judge it? As long as you make sure that the soil is full of stickiness, just like rice, it is easy to shape, and if there is too much, it will become thin mud. However, everyone has a strange talent for mud, and it is easy to get started.

Some impurities were removed, and the soil got plenty of water, and it was almost there. Ye Yan made a thicker circular chassis on a clam shell, with the edges upturned upward, and then it was like Tetris. TAKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOIL AT A TIME, KNEAD IT INTO LONG STRIPS, WRAP IT AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE CIRCLE, KNEAD IT, SEW THE GAPS BETWEEN THEM, AND GRADUALLY STACK THEM UNTIL IT BECOMES AN EARTHEN POT WITH A DIAMETER OF ABOUT 15 CM AND A HEIGHT OF ABOUT HALF A METER.

Although it was rough, Ye Yan smoothed the gap between the soil strips and the dirt strips, and it didn't seem to have any stitching marks, just like a rough embryo pulled out by a novice with a roller. I did 6 in a row, and all seven of them were placed in the sun.

Since Ye Yan has a good grasp of moisture, the moisture of the earthen pot is just right, and in this weather, it will be almost dry in less than 20 minutes.

And Mo Qing also came back with a bunch of palm leaves, and according to Ye Yan's instructions, he was weaving palm leaves so that it could be neat.

The weaving technique is also very simple, fold the palm leaves in half along the veins, so that the leaves on both sides coincide, and then each grasp the leaves on one side of the cross, the mantra is also very easy to remember, one on the other, the other one on the repeat, the edge of the part is tied up, so that it will not loosen.

Ye Yan made another fire, let it burn vigorously, the flames rose more than a meter high, and then carried the three earthen pots, put them directly in the flames, and added some firewood around them, Ye Yan prayed that such a rough operation would not break these earthen pots.
