Chapter 52: A Special Supper
Li Ji, who was not prepared in the slightest, was startled by the fire of the young beast, and only after being frightened that he took a few steps back did he come to his senses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I just told you to burn that soil embryo, why did you spray such a big fire?" Li Ji said speechlessly to the young beast.
"Didn't you say that it was burned with a big fire?" the young beast directly stopped breathing fire, looked back at Li Ji and asked rhetorically.
"I... This..."Li Ji was a little speechless when asked.
"But you don't need such a big fire! you have to judge a little, the fire I am talking about is only relative to the small fire you use to start the fire, not to make you breathe such a big fire, as long as the fire you spray can completely cover the earth embryo. Do you understand?" Li Ji said earnestly in a speechless voice.
"Oh! got it!" the young beast nodded obediently.
"Remember, keep spraying, don't stop. ”
"Okay!"
"Uh! It's not that you don't want to stop, I stop when I say stop. Li Ji, who was afraid of the tendons of the young beast, added.
"Okay!"
Then the young beast opened its mouth and spewed out a breath of fire again. The flames were endless, tightly wrapping the soil embryo on the stone, and the moisture on the surface was rapidly evaporated, and it officially entered the firing stage.
For firing ceramics, Li Ji is completely a sweat, he doesn't know the temperature required for firing, and even if he knows the temperature, he can't express it to the young beast, after all, this is the concept of two worlds, and it won't be clear for a while. However, Li Ji felt that the temperature of firing ceramics must be very high, and it must be above 1000C, so it should be higher than the temperature of lava. So, after observing for a while, Li Ji asked the young beast to increase the temperature to a little higher than the lava magma.
If Li Ji said how much c, the young beast probably didn't know how much, but with the lava magma as a comparison, the young beast quickly carried out Li Ji's order, and the originally fiery red flames gradually turned white, and the heat from the fireworks made Li Ji feel extremely hot one meter away.
Li Ji, who didn't know how long he was going to burn, stopped after spraying the young beast for an hour, wanting to see how the firing effect was.
The young beast faded into flames, and Li Ji walked up quickly, eager to check the results. At this time, the clay embryo standing on top of the stone was still in a state of high temperature with reddish reddens, and it was clear at a glance that the temperature was definitely not low. Although Li Ji's immunity to high temperatures has improved since he ate Ganoderma lucidum, he didn't dare to touch the soil embryo at this time before his brain was in water, at least until the warning red faded before he dared to reach out to check the results.
The young beast burns the soil embryo, and the flames that spew out only shroud the soil embryo, but the stones under the soil embryo are still inevitably exposed to the high temperature of the flames, which causes the part of the stone that is closest to the soil embryo to turn white, as if it will turn into powder if you pinch it slightly.
Li Ji and the young beast waited quietly for a few minutes, and when the color representing the high temperature faded, Li Ji approached the ceramic that seemed to have been fired with his hand.
Moving his hand closer to the ceramic, Li Ji immediately felt the dry heat temperature coming from the ceramic, and the temperature of the ceramic was still high at this time, but Li Ji felt as if he could try to touch it and see if he could bear it. After eating Ganoderma lucidum, he didn't know what the temperature limit was. Of course, Li Ji was definitely not an idiot enough to think that he could withstand the temperature of lava magma, but the temperature contained in the ceramics at this moment was enough for him to test the water and weigh his endurance, so that he could have a bottom in his heart when he encountered fire-attribute demonic beasts in the future.
Without much hesitation, under the anxious gaze of the young beast who was waiting impatiently to see the result than Li Ji, Li Ji's outstretched right finger finally touched the ceramic.
At the moment when he first touched the ceramics, Li Ji was still a little nervous in his heart, although he thought that he could bear the consequences of being burned, but he still couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart.
A little heat suddenly came from between his fingers, and Li Ji's hand instantly reflexively retracted. After tasting it, I felt that I could bear it, so I stretched out my hand again. This time, without hesitation, the whole right hand grasped the side of the ceramic, and the high temperature from the palm slowly adapted to the deposition of time.
Li Ji was excited, stretched out his left hand, and carefully picked up the ceramic that seemed to have been successfully fired. Rotated left and right to carefully check, after firing, the original red color on the surface of the ceramic became a little duller, and I don't know if Li Ji was not too delicate, or the water on the original surface of the soil embryo was evaporated, resulting in the current ceramic looks a little rough, and there are subtle potholes to the touch. Fortunately, Li Ji had already been mentally prepared for this, and he didn't expect to be able to fire any good ceramics anyway.
After careful inspection of the inside and outside of this ceramic, in addition to the rough workmanship, there is also a hidden danger, that is, this ceramic has several small cracks, more importantly, the crack that appears at the bottom, although now these cracks do not seem to crack the inner and outer walls of the ceramic, but when they are boiled with water and food, they are directly cracked because of the weight. So, it looks like the ceramic failed to be fired.
Unexpectedly, the judgment failed, and Li Ji was no longer entangled, but smashed the ceramics in his hand directly to the ground. With a "bang", the ceramic suddenly split and splashed apart.
Li Ji smashed this ceramic, of course, not because of the frustration caused by failure. Rather, I wanted to see if the intoxication had been burned through. Even if he doesn't know about fired ceramics, he knows that the color of the fired ceramics must be uniform, otherwise it will be unsuccessful.
Li Ji squatted down and picked up a palm-sized fragment with both hands, the color of the middle of the fragment fracture was obviously different from the color of its edge, and he knew at a glance that the heat was insufficient, maybe the temperature was wrong, or maybe the firing time was not enough.
After seeing it for a while, Li Ji threw down the ceramic fragments in his hand, stood up, and wrote down these situations one by one, accumulating experience for the next continued experiment.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, Li Ji went to dig a large pile of soil outside the cave again. Before, he just wanted to try the effect, so he didn't pay too much, but the firing just now made Li Ji feel that he was not far from success, and it would definitely drag on until the evening before the next firing was completed. No matter what he thought about, Li Ji didn't plan to go out to dig at night, so he simply dug more at a time.
I had an experience, and the second time I pinched the soil embryo with the mud, it was much faster, and the soil embryo was still a little miserable, but Li Ji, who was not a perfectionist, didn't care very much, after the soil embryo was pinched, he asked the young beast to immediately breathe fire and burn, and let the young beast increase the firepower and raise the temperature a little. As for how much it will increase, Li Ji doesn't know, and the young beast doesn't know either, anyway, it's just by feeling, as long as the temperature increases.
Learned the lesson of the previous failure, this time Li Ji let the young beast be fired for about half an hour, and when it came to the ceasefire inspection, Li Ji found that the effect was not much different from the first time, there were still a few cracks on the inner and outer walls of the ceramic, different shades, but it seemed to be a little better than the first effect.
Li Ji was anxious to verify whether it was successful, so he directly used the somewhat nondescript ceramic pot that had been burned to fill half a pot of water, put it on the simple small stove made of stones that had been used for barbecue, put in dry firewood, and let the young beasts who had been resting for a long time due to the continuous release of flames light the bonfire.
The water in the ceramic pot slowly came out of the heat under the passage of time, and Li Ji was pleasantly surprised to find that the cracks that worried him did not leak water with the increase in temperature, and there was no tendency to further expand the cracks.
The young beast waiting boredly next to him looked at Li Ji's smile in confusion, the thing that took several hours and most of the magic power to burn was worthless in the eyes of the young beast. If it weren't for the fact that Li Ji had said at the beginning that the things that were cooked could improve their food, and that they were different from the delicacy of roasted meat, the young beasts would not have worked so hard.
The previous young beast had been hungry for the fragrant barbecue for a long time, and every time it failed to eat it to its fullest, it suddenly learned that there were other delicious things, so it chose to obey unconditionally, and willingly gave Li Ji a special ceramic firing, otherwise according to its nature, it would not have the patience to continue to breathe fire.
Looking at the boiling water in the ceramic pot, the young beast was at a loss, not knowing where the so-called delicacy in Li Ji's mouth was. It sniffed vigorously the water vapor wafting from the ceramic pot, which was as light as water and had no fragrance. This makes it feel like it's been tricked.
At this moment, Li Ji is intoxicated with his own world, and firing ceramics that can be used will be of great benefit to his future life. Avoiding some of the health problems that may result from eating barbecue for a long time. Now, he must always ensure that he is in good health, so that he can continue to improve his strength through cultivation and actual combat in the days to come, so that he can have the strength to walk out of the forest in the shortest possible time.
Under Li Ji's gaze, the water in the ceramic pot began to boil as it was heated, and layers of water mist rose, and Li Ji put his hand directly into the water vapor, feeling his induction of temperature.
Through the water vapor in the palm of his hand with a slightly hot and humid high temperature, the effect of the half of the Ganoderma lucidum made Li Ji feel admiration and shock again. In this magical world, many of his previous impossibilities have become possible.
After getting the answer he wanted, Li Ji withdrew his hand.
After the water boiled for a few minutes, Li Ji poured out the waste water in the ceramic pot, replaced it with clean water and began to prepare dinner.
After changing the water again, Li Ji took out a piece of jerky from the space ring. After gnawing for so many days, Li Ji also felt a little nervous. The toughness of the jerky really hurt him a little, if it weren't for the fact that the jerky was very replenishing, and he had no other choice, he wouldn't have lasted that long. But now, with this ceramic pot, the pain of the past can be said goodbye.
Holding a silver short knife, Li Ji forcefully cut the jerky to the thickness of his fingers and put it in a ceramic pot.
The young beast was lying on its stomach with a disappointed face on the side, watching boredly as Li Ji boiled the water in a ceramic pot and then poured it out. I thought that Li Ji would repeat the last time this time, so he was not interested. Who knew that Li Ji took out the jerky this time, which made the young beast with a keen sense of smell unconsciously widen its eyes, and stared at the jerky that fell into the ceramic pot from Li Ji's knife with bright eyes.
After putting six or seven pieces of jerky into the ceramic pot, Li Ji took back the rest of the space ring, and added a handful of firewood, which burned vigorously, and it could be seen clearly from a few meters away.
Time passed little by little, Li Ji knew that it must have been dark outside, and while waiting for the dinner to be baked, wisps of special and familiar fragrance wafted out from the ceramic pot, making the young beast with the most sensitive nose who had been squatting aside for a long time drool.
