In two days, Su Yan and his three clansmen made a total of four coarse pottery embryos with a bottom diameter of about one meter and a height of about 40 centimeters, and also made seven bowl-shaped pottery embryos that could be the size of an adult's open palm.

After the eleven pottery embryos have been shaded, the final firing process is about to begin.

This morning, just after breakfast, Su Yan took the three clansmen to get busy.

The first time I tried to make pottery using a pottery kiln, only two pottery embryos, one large and one small, were put into the pottery kiln, and then the opening of the pottery kiln was sealed with adobe bricks.

Add firewood and grass to the special place (fire mouth) under the pottery kiln, ignite the fire, and the last firing procedure begins, in the process of roasting, it is necessary to continuously add firewood and grass to the fire mouth to prevent the flame from decreasing, so that the internal temperature of the kiln room is relatively stable.

The whole roasting process lasts all day and does not end until before dark, and the flame under the kiln is slowly extinguished, and when the heat of the kiln dissipates tomorrow, the kiln can be opened to see if the pottery embryos inside are successfully fired.

In the process of roasting, Su Yan didn't hear any cracking sound, but Su Yan was not sure whether the pottery was successfully fired, perhaps when he left, the pottery embryo inside was broken.

After breakfast the next day, Su Yan asked the kiln room that had dissipated the heat to be opened, and Su Yan clearly saw that the two pieces of pottery in the kiln, one large and one small, maintained their shape.

It worked?!

No, it didn't work out, and after the clansmen carefully moved the two pottery out, Su Yan saw that there were several cracks on the big pottery, and if he continued to burn, he was afraid that it would be a completely shattered situation.

However, there was no crack on the small pottery, but its successful firing was not of much use, it was too small and could only be used as a bowl, and what Su Yan needed more was a larger pottery, which could be used to boil water and cook meat.

It doesn't matter if you fail, there are still several pottery embryos that can continue to try, and if you try again and again, you will never succeed.

Su Yan asked the people to continue to put a large pottery embryo and two small pottery embryos into the kiln room, put the kiln room with adobe bricks, and continue to roast, while he took the successfully fired pottery bowl back to the cave and gave the pottery bowl to Wu.

Even if this first pottery bowl was successfully fired, it was very rough and ugly in Su Yan's opinion, but in the snake tribe, this pottery bowl was much better than those coarser stone bowls.

Wu took the pottery bowl and looked at it carefully, his rough hand scratched the surface of the pottery bowl, and the pottery bowl seemed to have become a precious treasure.

Wu grinned at Su Yan, saying that he liked the gift Su Yan gave him very much.

On the morning of the third day, the pottery kiln chamber was opened and the three pottery pieces inside were removed.

Looking at the crack on the largest pottery, Su Yan understood that he had failed again this time, but there was no need to be frustrated, this failure had already made Su Yan see the hope of success.

The pottery has cracks, but there are fewer cracks on the pottery than the pottery fired in the pottery kiln for the first time, which is a welcome improvement, as long as the temperature in the kiln is regularly controlled, and a little more luck, maybe the large pottery can be fired successfully.

As for the two pottery bowls that were successfully fired in the same kiln, one was given to the leader by Su Yan and the other to Jian.

Jian and his people have been integrated into the Snake Tribe, Jian's strength is not enough, and it is impossible to have too high a status in the Snake Tribe, but Jian's people are still able to follow Jian's orders.

In the Snake Tribe, the only people who can command other clansmen are Su Yan, Wu, the leader and Jian, and as Jian and his people are more deeply integrated into the Snake Tribe, Jian will become an ordinary clansman of the Snake Tribe, and they will completely abandon the affairs of their original tribe and only regard themselves as members of the Snake Tribe.

On the morning of the fourth day, the pottery fired in the pottery kiln for the third time came out of the kiln, and seeing the cracks on the large pottery, Su Yan knew that this time it had failed again, compared with the last time, the cracks were much less, and it could even be used to fill water and boil water to a certain extent.

But this is not enough, what Su Yan wants is complete pottery, this kind of defective product is not good.

The two pottery bowls successfully fired in the same kiln were left by Su Yan himself, not for others, but for himself, his adoptive mother and the Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters, and the pottery bowls were used to hold water or food.

On the morning of the fifth day, the pottery fired in the fourth pottery kiln came out of the kiln, if he didn't look carefully, Su Yan thought that the large pottery fired this time was successful.

After taking a closer look, Su Yan still found some subtle cracks on the pottery, even at the bottom.

It seems that this large defective product can no longer be used to hold water, but it can be used to store animal meat, fish and other food, and it is not directly discarded like the first waste product and the second waste product.

The pottery embryos were all used up, and Su Yan wanted to make new pottery embryos, this time it was only the three clansmen who did it, and six large pottery embryos and more than a dozen pottery bowls were made in two days.

Su Yan said to them that when these pottery bowls were successfully fired, they would give them a few to the three of them, and the three of them grinned one by one when they heard it, in their hearts, this pottery bowl was a very precious treasure, and only a few people in the entire tribe, such as divine envoys, witches, and leaders, had them.

Of course, being precious now does not mean that it will be precious in the future, and everyone in the tribe will be able to have a pottery bowl in the future.

A few days later, a new batch of pottery embryos was finished drying and was about to be put into the pottery kiln for firing, this time Su Yan decided to try to use the number to spell luck, and directly put two large pottery embryos and four pottery bowl embryos into the pottery kiln room.

On a new day, the pottery fired in the pottery kiln for the fifth time comes out of the kiln.

Two large pieces of pottery, one with a few subtle cracks on its body, and the other pottery that looks relatively intact and has no cracks found.

For the time being, no cracks were found that it did not mean that the pottery was successfully fired, Su Yan directly asked the three clansmen to take the large pottery fired by the fourth pottery kiln to the small river to retrieve a jar of water, the large pottery will leak if there is a crack, it is better to say that it is water seepage, the leakage is not much, it can be used to get water.

Soon, the water was retrieved, and Su Yan ordered the three clansmen to carefully pour the water into the seemingly complete large pottery.

After the large pottery from the newly kiln was filled with water, Su Yan carefully observed whether there was any water seepage in the pottery, and even asked the three clansmen to lift the large pottery filled with water to see if there was water seepage at the bottom of the pottery.

After a period of observation, Su Yan finally determined that this pottery was a complete pottery, with almost no cracks on its body, and it could be used to boil water and pork.

Looking at the pottery filled with water, Su Yan's little face showed a smile of joy after success.
