"Then, what do you need to make pottery, I'll go and ask someone to prepare, let's start doing it now, right?"

"You don't have to prepare anything, just firewood and mud. She can understand Ami's excitement, but after all, pottery can provide some convenience for life, and it should be mainly to collect food: "Otherwise, I will try to burn some in the past two days, and then I will take everyone to burn them together when I find out my experience."www.biquge.info ”

"Good, good!" Ami nodded repeatedly.

Since he said that he wanted to burn pottery, then he started to act, and the wizard was also very interested in burning pottery, and the wizard didn't have much work in the tribe, so the two of them worked together with mud.

The first time was just an attempt, it didn't matter whether it was successful or not, she burned some plant ashes, kneaded the leaf floc and added it to the mud embryo, and then repeatedly pounded the mud embryo, and kneaded it into clay, kneading it into an earthen jar about 20 centimeters in diameter and 30 centimeters in height.

In the beginning, there was no kiln, so a fire pit was surrounded with stones, a fire was made in the middle, and the dried jar was put upside down on the fire, and then a week's worth of wood was stacked around the jar, and when the wood was half burned, the half-dried leaves were thrown into the fire, and then the bonfire ashes were sprinkled on it.

After this step is completed, it is to wait for the fire to burn out naturally and the temperature to drop, you can take out the jar, during this time, Ami specially sent a warrior of the hunting team to guard the fire, for fear that the jar would fly, even if Lin Baibai repeatedly told her that there was no need for this, she still insisted on her own approach, and Lin Baibai also went with her.

A day later, the warrior who collected the fire reached out and touched the fire pit, and made sure that the temperature had completely cooled down, and happily asked the passers-by to help him to tell Ami, and he himself had to dutifully guard the fire pit.

Ami gathered all the people in the tribe, even the elusive snow came over, and everyone reverently surrounded the fire pond, looking at Lin Baibai with a blazing expression.

Lin Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead, don't have such high expectations, what if it's cracked.

Peel off the ash covering it, take out the clay pot, and check it carefully, there is indeed no crack, and there is a crisp sound when you hit it with your hand.

Ami took the clay pot with trembling hands, as if she was looking at a cherished work of art, looked at it again and again, and her youngest son Shi squeezed over and stretched out his hand to climb the jar: "Grandma, I want to see it too." ”

Ami's hand shook, the jar didn't hold it steady, and it fell to the ground and shattered into three petals.

Everyone was stunned, and Shi Wow cried out with a whine: "Grandma, I broke the Tao ......"

Ami didn't know what it was like, so she picked up a stick and wanted to beat him.

Lin Baibai hurriedly persuaded that this clay pot was not burned well anyway, black, black and yellow, not the kind of uniform pottery red, it didn't matter if it was broken, it just crushed the broken pottery into powder, and sprinkled on the clay was clinker, which could prevent the pottery from cracking.

The initial plan was successful, and she planned to build a small kiln to use to make larger jars.

This is a slightly larger project, and seeing how young she and the wizard are separated, Ami sent two people to assist them.

A pit was dug on the ground that was seventy or eighty centimeters wide, about one meter long, and thirty centimeters deep, and a stone slab was used at each end to put it on the top, and it surrounded the square pit of seventy centimeters long and wide.

Then make a round mud embryo with a diameter of 70 centimeters and a thickness of about 10 centimeters, poke the hole, make a honeycomb coal, put it on the square, and then go up the mud wall along the mud embryo, the thickness of the wall is about 10 centimeters, and the height is about one meter.

With such a small kiln, you can fire a large pottery pot with a diameter of fifty or sixty centimeters, because as long as the pottery pot has a large belly, it does not need to be too deep, and thirty or forty centimeters is enough, and it can be fired two at a time.

Of course, she didn't plan to challenge herself with such a difficult job at the beginning, but she still started firing with things like bowls, spoons, basins, and jars.

The children were curious, and also came to have a meal of mud, but they only came to play, and they did not get along well, so the wizard drove them to mow the grass, but the snow was very interested in burning pottery and releasing Buddha, and always watched from afar.

After seeing him a few times, the wizard beckoned him to come over, he bit his mouth, hesitated, or followed his heart's thoughts, and came over.

glanced at Lin Baibai apprehensively, but didn't notice that she had a disgusted gaze, so she squatted beside the wizard.

Since she had to work, she had no intention of enslaving child laborers, so she stuffed him with broken pottery shards and made him crush them into powder, and kneaded a lot of clay with them before she began to make them.

Tricks or something, now naturally still don't think about it, she first started with a simple pottery bowl to demonstrate, a ball of clay the size of an adult's fist, clumped, and then pressed a hole with her thumb in the middle, along the perimeter of the hole began to press outward, the outside with the other four fingers against it, slowly expand the hole, and then sprinkle some grass and wood ash on the stone slab, put the slightly shaped embryo on it, and pinch the thin bowl wall.

There are a lot of people in the tribe, Lin Baibai calculated, at least one person has to match a jar, a bowl and a spoon, so it is a big project of hundreds of pieces, fortunately, someone digs the mud, someone picks up firewood, and someone burns the kiln, she and the wizard are away from the snow and three people pinched for more than ten days, before the tribe is finished with a kit, the firing process is longer, fortunately, the embryo that is kneaded later needs to be dried, and it also takes time.

In the end, she pinched more than a dozen large clay pots with wide mouths, and she stopped kneading the clay embryos.

The weather is getting colder, and every morning I wake up, I can get out of the heat. The furs in the tribe were not as large as one per person, and they had to think of ways to keep warm for the winter.

The best way to heat your home is to use a ondol.

She experimented with a snow hut.

Dig a channel 30 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters deep through the middle of the thatched hut, and then lay a stone slab on it, and then use mud to paste it tightly, at the back of the thatched hut, along the exposed part of the channel with mud to build a small chimney, and in front of it is a small wall with mud, paste a small stove, on which you can put a clay pot to boil some water or something, and it will not set the thatched shed on fire.

Thanks to the almighty science, although this soil kang is simple, but the smoke exhaust is good, the temperature is also very good, if you do not boil water, push the firewood into the channel, a small pile of firewood can ensure the warmth of the kang overnight.

The tribe has not yet used the bed, everyone is laid with thatch and slept directly on the ground, with the kang, it will not be cold in the snow.

So, the people of the tribe looked at the small thatched hut of the snow again, and even went in one by one to lie down for a while, and felt a warm and comfortable kang well.

Ami closed her mouth happily, took her hand, and kept saying, "Great, great, you are really a messenger from God, with the kang, the children and women in the tribe will not die in winter." ”
