Chapter 10: The Great Harvest (Part II)
What made Wu Yicai feel incredible was not the coconut shell, but the lump of mud that he wrapped around the coconut shell!
It turned out to be formed!
It turns into the shape of a bowl!
It's getting a little hard, or so it looks!
It should be watertight, and the seawater seeping through the coconut shells sizzles in the scalding mud bowl!
The mud bowl has basically become very dry now, it has changed from its original earthy brown to earthy yellow, its texture has also changed, and the mud has become hard after being roasted by the fire!
It's porcelainization!
Could it be that this clay bowl has become ceramic?
The principle of ceramics is that the clay is made, and after drying, it is baked at high temperatures! The adobe baked at high temperature will undergo a qualitative change and become the ceramic they are familiar with, and this kind of thing is unintentionally made by mistake!
Wu Yicai actually made a piece of porcelain!!
Since bowls can be made, what about something else?
Cups, bottles, jars, water tanks!
These things can be made!!
Wu Yicai carefully observed the bowl he made, and in general it was not very successful, and its texture had only changed slightly.
The bottom of it is only slightly porcelainized, and the rest of the place is just a little dry and wrinkled, and even a little dented and dropped in some places.
This is probably caused by uneven heating and impurities such as sand and gravel in the soil, although it is not very successful, but there is already a basic process!
Pottery burning is not in a hurry, this is a delicate work, it takes a lot of patience and time, his stomach is already hungry in the drum, he is even hungrier in the face of the food in front of him, he needs to eat enough to carry it out.
Eat the delicious food first!
Wu Yicai took out the crabs that were wrapped in layers in the fire, and the outermost leaves were scorched, but the leaves inside were still very bright.
Use a wooden stick to evenly blend the charcoal fire so that the charcoal fire completely covers the ground, and then put the clay bowl into the fire to burn, it now needs to be heated at a high temperature to change the texture!
Peeling back the three layers of crab leaves, when he opened it, he smelled a strong fragrance that combined with a fishy fragrance!
The scent is peculiar!
There is not only the unique fragrance of crab, but also the fragrance of fresh plants, which tastes a bit like lotus leaf chicken!
It's so fragrant!!
This smell hit Wu Yicai's nasal cavity, his saliva kept secreting, and he swallowed his saliva wildly, eager to eat the crab in one bite.
Wu Yicai put the crab aside first and let it cool down first, his experience told him that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and when he ate the roasted crab for the first time, it was too hot, and he scalded a bubble in his mouth, and it still hurts!
The octopus can be eaten, it is neither hot nor cold, it is fragrant and delicious, it has a Q-bomb feeling, it chews very strongly, and it is delicious!
The baby octopus becomes more fragrant and elastic the more you chew it, it does not have much soup, and the meat is very dry and tender at the same time.
The only thing that was a little lacking was that the seawater boiled octopus was too salty, salty! He quickly took a few quick bites of the banana tree, and the sweetness and water of the banana tree diluted the salty taste in his mouth.
The octopus was finished in just a few bites, and he still cared about chewing on the last tentacle, this octopus was really delicious!
The crab cooled down, and although it was still a little hot, it wasn't as hot as it was at the beginning, and he could finally eat it now!
Wu Yicai tasted a bite of crab Ao, and it had a lot of soup.
He found that the crab is most suitable for steaming and eating, the steamed crab is extraordinarily tender, its fragrance is directly locked inside, and the meat is delicate, smooth and tender, melts in the mouth, and leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth.
The crab meat is fused with the fragrance in the huge leaves, so that the crab is not so fishy, especially the yellow and clear crab roe, the crab roe is sweet and salty and refreshing, and there is a quiet feeling in his mouth, his mind is refreshing, this feeling is very beautiful, so he is reluctant to swallow the crab roe in his mouth.
This crab should be a female crab, there is a lot of crab roe, the crab meat is also very refreshing, and the tender meat in the crab leg comes out as soon as it is pumped, completely separated from the crab skin.
After eating the crab, he was a little full, lazily slumped on the leaves, the grouper was roasted and yellowed, and the rough flower knife was roasted by the fire and bloomed brilliantly.
The fat on the grouper is dripping and dripping into the fire, and the air smells unusual!
The fragrance is different from that of crab and octopus, not fishy, but a meat aroma like barbecue!!
It's true!!
Wu Yicai didn't expect that the grilled fish would have the aroma of barbecue, his appetite was aroused again, and he felt hungry again!!
Tear off a piece of grilled fish and put it in your mouth and taste it slowly!
Fragrant, crispy, crispy, oily, tender!
A small slice of grilled fish can have so much flavor!!
Slowly, he went from tasting to eating like crazy, this fish has very few spines, and he doesn't have to worry about being pricked at all.
After the madness swept through, he was really full, and the food was almost up to his throat, and he had to start exercising and doing some work!
The house destroyed by the heavy rain needed to be strengthened again, and he had made a lot of leaves and vines, and the house was stronger and stronger than before!
After doing all this, he chewed some banana trees to quench his thirst, and added some dry wood to the fire, which would keep it burning overnight.
Tomorrow morning's porcelain bowl will be burned, and what will happen to the nets?
This night, he slept very sweetly, perhaps because of the harvest he had, or because he had adapted to the horror of the night on the desert island.
......
In the early morning, he was woken up by the sea breeze, the night by the sea was exceptionally cold, the fire last night was very big, he didn't feel the cold of the night, as the fire gradually went out, the cold sea breeze still woke him up!
The first thing Wu Yicai did when he got up was to see if the bowl he fired last night was successful, he was still quite nervous, he was a little afraid of failure!
The bowl lay in the fire, its color had changed to pure black, and he couldn't tell if it had succeeded or not!
He needs to take it out!
Wu Yicai used a wooden stick to pull out the burning blackened bowl from the fire.
The clear sound of the wooden stick touching the bowl made him a little excited, it was definitely a sound unique to porcelain!
He took a general look at the black porcelain bowl in front of him, and for the time being, he couldn't tell if it was cracked, because it was so dark.
Its temperature is very high, he doesn't dare to touch it directly with his hands, he has to let it cool down first, he doesn't dare to splash it directly with water, although it will cool down, but who dares to guarantee that it will not expand and shrink in heat and cold and cracks!
In desperation, he could only let it cool down naturally, and he was more curious about whether there was any marine debris on the beach today! What seafood was caught in his fishing nets!
There was nothing on the beach, not even an empty bottle, not a plastic bag. This made him a little helpless!
What made Wu Yicai's egg even more painful was that there was nothing in the net he put down, not even a crab, looking at the roasted lizard in the net, he wondered if there was something wrong with his bait, whether it was sea creatures that didn't like to eat cooked food.
But now he can't change the bait, he doesn't have any internal organs or anything like that, so he just throws the fishing net into the sea, maybe because the time is too short, and the crab or something hasn't smelled the meat yet!
Throwing the net into the sea again and letting it continue hunting delicious seafood, he made another round around the beach, picking up a few conch shells and a few small crabs, which were enough for his breakfast!
As soon as he returned to his cabin, there was a roar in the distant sky!
When Wu Yicai turned his head to see the clear blue sky, he felt that everything was so incredible!!
