Chapter 232 The Clay Kiln That Gave Birth to the Baby
Recently, Han Cheng did not finish the earthen kiln built in order to burn charcoal, which was modeled after the simple mud paste method used when he first burned pottery, and it was too troublesome to have to re-paste it every time.
He made a slight change to the muddy method from the previous one.
That is, to make a hollow cylinder out of mixed mud on the ground.
Where the bottom of the cylinder is in contact with the ground, twelve ignition openings are evenly set aside.
When the charcoal is burned, the wood that has been broken or broken on the stone is placed vertically inside the column, and then the cone is made out of the mud last time.
When it is time to open the kiln, only the top of the cone type needs to be broken, and the cylinder below does not need to be moved, and can be reused, which can greatly reduce the workload and improve the work efficiency.
Han Cheng and Heiwa placed the firewood they brought in the column vertically and neatly.
"Son of God, why do you put it like this?"
Seeing Han Cheng placing the thickest firewood in the middle of the column, Heiwa asked with some puzzlement.
Because the fire was previously ignited from the edge of the cylinder, in order to minimize the fact that the firewood on the side had been burned to ashes, and the firewood inside had not yet burned to such a situation, Han Cheng used his brains to place the thickest firewood on the edge.
As it turns out, this approach does have some effect.
So when Heiwa saw that Shenzi was actually contrary to usual this time, she couldn't help but remind her.
Han Cheng told Heiwa about his idea of preparing to light a fire from above.
Heiwa was puzzled when he heard it, it was the first time he had heard that the ignition was not from below, but from above.
I wanted to ask the Son of God about the truth in this, but when I saw that the Son of God refused to talk more about this, I didn't ask more, but according to the Son of God's explanation, the wood was placed.
Of course Han Cheng wouldn't talk to Heiwa in detail, so he couldn't tell him that this was his own way of breaking the jar, right?
It's already very cold, and the mud needs to be pasted as soon as possible, otherwise it will freeze after a while.
Han Cheng and Heiwa pasted the mud like ice cubes on the cylinder as quickly as possible, and they couldn't wait to put the frozen and already wooden hands into the steaming clay pot on the side.
That's when I felt like my hand was my own.
Insisting on coming out, and having been fanning the flames for a long time, he first shoved a ball of withered grass, which was relatively easy to ignite, into the hole left in the middle of the cone, and then took a burning stick and set it on fire.
Green smoke rises, and the flames soon burn.
Han Cheng pulled his hand out of the clay pot that was about to get cold, came to the charcoal-burning kiln, stood upwind, stretched out his wet hands and roasted them with fire.
At this time, there was no cloth, and it always felt a little uncomfortable to wipe his hands with fur, so when there was a fire when it was cold, Han Cheng would put his hands next to the fire to dry.
It's very comfortable, but it's easy to leave a smoky smell on your hands.
People with dreams are always energetic and passionate when they do things.
Not long after Han Cheng dried his hands, and most of the kiln had not been burned, Senior Brother and the others had already returned from afar.
Senior Brother Sha, who was walking in the crowd, carried a freshly cut mulberry tree with the thickness of a bowl on his left shoulder.
Some of the unnecessary branches of the mulberry tree have been cut down, but instead of being discarded, they have been bundled back in bundles.
Directly carrying back a mulberry tree with the thickness of a bowl, of course Senior Brother Sha doesn't have that much strength, and he is not Lu Zhishen.
It is said to be carrying, but in fact, it is just to carry the thick head of the trunk on the shoulder, and drag the rest on the ground, so that it is half carried and half pulled, which will save a lot of effort.
Although Han Cheng desperately wanted to light a fire from above and burn charcoal like this, he didn't have much hope for the result.
The human mind is sometimes so strange and complex. It's like coming on a whim, and returning with a huff.
Therefore, after seeing Senior Brother Sha coming back with a mulberry tree, he looked at the kiln that would take a while to seal, and explained to Heiwa, Han Chengcheng was very happy to be the shopkeeper and went to use mulberry wood to make bows and arrows.
In fact, the best wood for making bows and arrows is yew wood, which is said to be because of its different hardness, and the bows and arrows made naturally have the effect of compound bows.
Yew wood Han Cheng didn't see it, but the second-class mulberry tree was not too lacking.
The bow that Han Cheng wants to make this time is not the simple bow that bends the branches in the morning, but is going to make a bow with the trunk of a mulberry tree according to the image of the bow he saw in film and television works in his memory.
Because the trunk of the mulberry tree is wide enough, as long as it is not man-made, the bow body will not be like the bow and arrow made in the morning with two wooden sticks that are not usually thick, and the apex of the bow body is not in the middle, which makes the bow uneven and affects the shooting effect.
Han Cheng measured a length of one meter and two with a ruler, and after marking it, he asked the limp to cut it off from here with a stone axe.
Freshly cut down trees are still easier to cut with a stone axe.
While Han Cheng and the others were here, Heiwa had already begun to block the hole left under the mud kiln with mud.
Because from the bottom of these holes, the light of the fire can already be seen, which means that the flame has burned here.
At this time, the vent must be blocked, otherwise after a long time, the firewood inside will be completely burned.
burned charcoal before, although there were repeated failures, but from this series of failures, Han Cheng and Heiwa also summed up a lot of experience.
The gods are gone, and of course Heiwa will be too concerned about the charcoal in this kiln, and after blocking these vents around him one by one, he directly blocked the top of the conical kiln with mud, and did not take a few glances inside before blocking it as before.
Therefore, it was not found that the wood that was first ignited this time was not the same as before, and when the wood in other places burned, it had turned into ashes, but was red, still maintaining its previous shape.
It is true that Heiwa loves to burn the kiln, but it is also necessary to divide what is in the kiln.
If it's pottery, it's okay for him to stay awake all night, but it's not the same if it's firewood.
And he also wanted to see the bow and arrow that Miko had made again.
Because he has dealt with clay and pottery the most in the past two years, he is not very good at throwing, and in the morning he saw the bow made by Miko who only needs to open the rope to shoot arrows far away, and he liked it a little.
He felt that such a thing was appropriate for him to use, although in the morning he shot three arrows from a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the stake......
The clay kiln that was left out in the cold didn't even smoke, and it was left there alone, pregnant with a baby.
