Chapter 522: Boiling Kiln

……

Lijiagou Forum.

"What are you going to do, what are you going to do, what are you going to do?

"There are eight days left until the end of the show! It's time to make a big move!"

"Lime glaze! If this thing can be made, this show will really be revised, a proper "I do intangible cultural heritage on a desert island"!"

"Emma still doesn't let people sleep, why does Lao Tzu feel more nervous than before the college entrance examination?"

"Can the kiln be completed? How much furnace temperature is needed to make porcelain? Is there anyone who knows how to come out and talk about it?"

"The temperature is not a big problem, you are the ditch master of the charcoal white burning, chimney insulation white made, porcelain firing needs a temperature of 1,300 degrees, compared to the big kiln mouth, the ditch master of this cubic kiln body, temperature control performance can only be better, don't forget that the quality of the pottery out of this kiln is very good!"

"I just checked, a porcelain cup needs so many processes, how many are there here......? It's a simplification and a simplification, isn't it?"

"No, it's not that since the earliest aging of clay, there are a lot of processes now, how many processes are there just to make clay?

"No, if I had planned to do this, I would have been looking for a stone in a few days after I got to the island, and I think I was bored and wanted to do something. ”

“emm…… I can't do it, I was stimulated by Sister Ayin's music yesterday, and today I was stimulated by Sister Ayin's archery, and I want to have a fierce ......."

"No matter what, as long as I can get it, I will be a second skin fan from now on! He will abuse me a thousand times, and I will treat him like my first love!"

"Poof...... Erpi has abused all men......"

……

That night, Li Junge made the bellows, and Ayin finished making dry food, and began to cook, steam, wash, bake, and sift sand by the way, until the rest, both of them were in an inexplicable tension and excitement.

The bellows Li Jun Pavilion was modeled after the water drawing cart occasionally used in the old days of Li Jiagou.

Two tables are placed on either side, and in the middle of the table is a wooden shaft made of a tree trunk, on which are nailed four pedals for the foot to step on.

The water-drawing trough and flap were replaced by six bark paddles by Li Junge, encased in a flat, cylindrical bamboo-woven bellows box. The bottom of the box is fixed to the ground, and a bamboo tube is used as an air outlet against the ground.

The tuyere is connected to several sections of pottery pipes to form an air duct, and the air duct is padded with dry sand, bamboo shoot shells, bamboo shavings, and then bamboo shoot shells, dry sand, which are used to isolate the heat dissipation of the ground.

Around the air duct, a fire pit is surrounded by broken clay stones, and when the time comes, a charcoal fire is raised to heat the air blown in by the bellows.

In this way, when the air enters the pottery kiln, the temperature inside the pottery kiln will not be lowered.

There is also a shelf in front of the bellows, which is convenient for Li Junge to operate on it.

Ayin was dazzled, this earthen kiln that had stood next to the shed for so many days had now become a little majestic.

The next morning, Li Junge opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile dumbly.

Ah Yin also woke up and asked, "Erpi, what are you laughing at?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "I laugh at us, we are stunned, this is not Uncle Shi carving stones, Uncle Craftsman's state of mind when he makes fishing rods! ”

Ah Yin also understood now, and said with a smile: "It's really, too excited and nervous, like a ......crab that has been turned over."

Li Junge said with a smile: "This is called too much loss...... Hahahaha, get up, it's time to carry water, it's time to feed the quails, it's time to play, it's time to have a good day! Keep a normal heart, burn the kiln in the afternoon!"

Today's Ayin is very careless, everything depends on Li Junge, and he is not annoyed that he has taken advantage of him several times, and even when he shoots arrows in the competition, he has lost the level of the first two days, which makes Li Junge win a good way.

At noon, the two had dinner by the woods behind the beach, and then hung up the hammock for a lunch break.

This is the first time Li Junge has taken a nap since he went to the island.

After taking a nap, the two went home.

Back at home, Li Junge took out some mud cakes again, but this time there were no mud nails on the mud cakes.

Take off the rice bowl and turn it over, polish the bottom edge with fine sandpaper, fill the circle with fine sea sand, and then put the mud cake on it and rotate it until the excess fine sand is squeezed out, then turn the rice bowl over with the mud cake and carefully place it in the pottery bowl.

Each pottery bowl was placed with four bowls, and Li Junge took the pottery bowl to the pottery kiln and carefully placed it in.

There is an ancient book: "...... The bowl is made of coarse mud, one of which is a mud cake and a vessel, and the bottom is made of sand............ After the glaze, put it into the sagger, hold the slight weight when loading, and burn it out the day after tomorrow to become a mouth, and no longer Zhou Zheng......"

I can't be too careful.

Cover the top layer of pottery bowl, and Li Junge also cover the top of the kiln with a pottery plate.

There is a big hole in the middle of the pottery plate, and there are five small holes around it, through which you can watch the temperature in the kiln, and you can also seal it to control the oxygen intake.

Then Li Junge went to take a bath, changed into clean clothes after washing, and came over with a handful of bamboo charcoal to start firing the kiln.

Ayin also came to help.

Firewood first and then charcoal, and the kiln fire gradually became bigger.

When Li Junge stepped on the windmill, the charcoal fire instantly turned blue and erupted straight out of the cracks in the bamboo charcoal.

After the burning was prosperous, Li Junge asked Ayin to take over, and he took the pottery plate to seal the big hole on the top, leaving only a few small holes around it, and then moved the big chimney to the top of the kiln and placed it, and covered the chimney with wet mud to let the charcoal fire burn inside.

Then he took over Ayin's work, and Ayin went to cook.

It was getting dark, Ah Yin brought food to Li Junge, and after the two of them ate, Ah Yin sat next to Li Junge and played the flute.

The flute sound is melodious and tactful, and with the sound of Ayin's flute, Li Junge rhythmically stepped on the bellows, and his mood became more and more calm.

Wangwang's fire shone on the faces of the two, and Ah Yin turned around to look at Li Junge's focused expression, feeling that Ailang at this time was particularly attractive.

Li Junge woke up from the stop of the flute and said to Ayin: "Ayin, you go and rest, I can't accompany you tonight." ”

Ayin's little face turned red, took a sip, and said, "Who is rare for you to accompany this stinky boy!"

Saying that, after he finished washing, Ayin brought Li Junge a small basket with a kettle, biscuits, dried fruits, and a bucket of water, with a wet towel on it, and said: "Erpi, then it's hard for you, I'll go to sleep first, and I'll come back tomorrow morning to change you." ”

Li Junge nodded, came down and poured himself a glass of water, and said with a smile: "I feel like I'm back to the days of guarding wild boars when the corn is ripe." But don't worry, the bellows are not always stepped on, this kiln needs to burn a good color, but also needs to restore the flame environment, blindly blast and oxygenate is really not necessarily good-looking!"

Ayin also smiled slightly and went by herself.

Forty-three days.

There was no word all night, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, Ayin got up, first went to feed the quails and water the flowers, and then washed himself, and then rushed Li Junge to wash and eat.

Li Junge was still creaking and stepping on the bellows, and said with a smile: "Why did you get up so early today?"

Ayin said suddenly: "I didn't sleep very well, and I suddenly felt strange when I slept in it alone." ”

After speaking, he quickly changed the topic: "The dew is heavy at night in the mountains, I will boil you ginger orange peel honey water, remember to drink some later." Drink it and go to bed!"

Li Junge kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile: "It's good to have a woman in the family! Then I'll go, and I'll eat together when I get up at noon." ”

stood up, and said to Ayin: "The current fire color is darker than when you left yesterday, don't worry about it, this is a reducing flame, the lime glaze needs to be burned like this, if you feel that something is wrong, come and call me." ”

After returning to the house and sleeping for a few hours, Li Junge opened his eyes and went out to inspect the situation.

Seeing that he got up, Ayin turned his head and said, "Why don't you come and see the fire, I'll go cook." ”

After Li Junge saw the kiln fire, he said, "It's okay, you burned very well, I'll cook the rice." ”

said that it was cooking, but in fact, it was to take some broth and add a handful of chopped vegetables, heat a few cakes, and bring them together with cold vegetables and bacon, and the two dealt with it in front of the kiln.

In the last two hours, Li Junge added some bamboo charcoal to it, and re-ignited the fire, until two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Junge removed the chimney, sealed all the kilns, and let the kiln slowly turn off and cool down.

Ah Yin looked at the pottery kiln and said stupidly: "I want to know the result now......"

Li Junge said with a smile: "The result has been decided, just wait for the cup to open, and don't panic sooner or later." Anyway, everything that can be done has already been done, and I can't think of anything wrong with it, so while there is still time, we will go to the lake to play, and come back in the evening to open the kiln. ”

Regardless of whether Ayin was willing or not, Li Junge put on a straw hat for her, brought fishing gear by himself, and went to the reeds on the other side of the lake to watch birds and fish.

As long as there is fishing, Li Junge is not in a hurry, and the small fish have been released with the fishing, just to have fun.

After a while, the float sank into the water again, and Li Junge raised the rod: "Hit again!"

This fish is not small, a fierce man drilled into the reeds, Li Junge quickly got up to control the line, and walked a few steps towards the other end of the bamboo raft, away from the range of the reeds: "You come back to me!"

The big fish spun around the edge of the reeds and began to swim towards the deep water again.

After several rounds of back and forth, the cart rod was retracted three times, and the fish reluctantly lay on its side on the water.

Ayin knelt on the bamboo raft, stretched out her little hand to touch the side of the big fish, and shouted in surprise: "Wow! Red carp! This is a good sign!"

Li Junge himself has been fishing for a long time, and he has seen a lot of red carp of five or six catties, and he knows that he has just encountered an albino layer, but he has not thought about it.

Hearing Ah Yin say this, he had to say: "Well, since you have said so, then let it go, the carp is not delicious anyway......"

Ayin gave Li Junge a beautiful white eyeball: "I know how to eat! With this good sign, hurry back to open the kiln!"

Li Junge laughed, seeing that more than four hours had passed, he reached out and took the hook off the thick lips of the red carp, and poured some water on the gills of the big carp.
