Chapter 6 Charcoal
The next morning, Gao Tao personally came to Bi Bo kiln to preside over the kiln opening ceremony, outside the kiln, Bi Bo, his disciples, and people from other kiln factories who came to watch were standing neatly in rows of people, with Gao Tao said, "Please kiln god, open the kiln!" "Everyone knelt down in unison, worshipping the god of the kiln, praying for a better and more complete pottery.
At this time, Jiu Yi and the other three disciples carried the water tank into the kiln, and when they came out, Bi Bo lit the prepared firewood, and suddenly the kiln was red, and the temperature rose rapidly.
Ordinary small clay pots have to be burned for about two or three days, and the wall of this water tank is very thick, how to have to be less than four or five days, and keep the high temperature all the time, someone needs to add firewood to the middle all the time, and also need an experienced person like Lao Bibo to monitor the temperature of the kiln in real time, but Gaotao still has a lot to be busy, so he left first.
Now there is nothing to do, everyone should disperse and wait for the kiln to come out in five days.
Yao Chonghua still followed the oracle and Yu Lei, with them, he could understand a lot of things, but he felt a little annoyed that some people paid too much attention to him, and he was not so thick-skinned that he boasted about himself, and vaninly enjoyed the adoring eyes of people.
They would go to the Bibo kiln every day to take a look, and when the water tank burned to the third day, Yao Chonghua kept looking towards the kiln, he looked at the fire tongue burning very vigorously inside, and had a bad premonition in his heart, "I'm afraid this water tank will not be completed." ”
Jiu Yi, who heard it on the side, was unhappy, "What did you say with your crow's mouth?" Of course it can be successful. ”
Jiuyi's angry gaze made Yao Chonghua speechless, and Jiuyao was more confident than Yao Chonghua, the main owner of the plan.
Jiu Yi knew that because of this water tank in the past few days, everyone was paying attention to them, and their reputation was too high, and they couldn't lose.
But Bi Bo listened to it, "Why did Chonghua Xiaotong say this?" Do you see something? ”
Yao Chonghua hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "I can't be sure, it's just that I look at the heat, and I'm afraid the temperature is not enough." ”
He just saw that there were a lot of flames in the kiln, and it was very vigorous, but the real high-heat color was closer to white, and there were more flames, but less charcoal, and the temperature of the flames was not as hot as charcoal.
"Hmph, you know what, we usually use this temperature." Jiu Yi thinks Yao Chonghua doesn't understand, can Yao Chonghua understand the size of this heat better than the master? Master didn't say anything......
Yao Chonghua only understood that this is the reason for the high failure rate of pottery now, the temperature of pottery is at least 1,000 degrees or more, but from the color of the fire, it is only about 800 degrees, and the temperature of the pottery close to the center temperature is higher, so it can become a finished product.
And the water tank is thicker, such a low temperature, it's really not good, Yao Chonghua Yaoyao, the temperature has to find a way to change.
Bi Bi saw Yao Chonghua's silent appearance, and he had no confidence in his heart, so he wanted to stop the fire, but Jiu Yi disagreed, "Master, the water tank in the ceasefire kiln will definitely be heated unevenly, and it will be broken if it is not broken at that time, and it will not be too late for us to wait for two days to see it." ”
Bi Bo thought about it seriously, they finally came to this point, there was no reason to give up halfway, and finally insisted on Jiuyi's decision, and it was nothing to wait for two days.
It's just that Yao Chonghua's rumor that the water tank will not burn has spread, and people's reactions are very different.
Some said: "Since he came up with the method, but he can't say it, isn't it a waste of time and manpower?" Monkey business. ”
Some said: "He is a saint, if he can't say it, then eighty percent will not be done, and he will rejoice in nothing." ”
Some said: "Don't be so pessimistic, he can't do it, there is Lao Bi here, there will definitely be a way." ”
Everyone didn't accuse a child in person, but the gossip flew all over the place.
In the evening, Gaotao asked Yao Chonghua: "Is it really impossible to make it?" ”
Yao Chonghua nodded, Gaotao couldn't say the disappointment, the water tank was really made, that is something that benefits the people, Dongyi people have been longing for a long time, even if it is Huaxia and Sanmiao, if they see it, they will know that it is a good thing at the top.
"Don't give up easily, this can't be controlled, but it doesn't mean that the next one will fail." As long as the temperature is well regulated, it is still very promising.
"What if it still doesn't work?"
Yao Chonghua doesn't know, what else can he do if this thing doesn't succeed twice at a time, and if it doesn't succeed three times twice?
"Don't you know, according to Dongyi's practice in the past, if you promise but can't keep it, you will be beheaded." As he spoke, he touched Yao Chonghua's neck with his cold hand.
The cold touch made Yao Chonghua shrink his neck, "Didn't you say benevolence?" Beheading at every turn, how barbaric. ”
"Hahaha......" Gao Tao laughed heartily, "I said that it was before, and now it won't, but don't be afraid, be bold, and don't be afraid of what you believe, even if you cut off your head." ”
Yao Chonghua thinks about himself, just because he can't fight, he even went to prison, and he is just the last step away from being shot.
Isn't it just a water tank, you know where the cause of the problem is, then find a way to overcome it, what is it like to get by? What else do you say about the welfare of the people in the primitive society, and you don't panic, "Then if I can't make it, you can cut off my head." ”
"Haha~ How can you say that the wind is rain, you just do your best." Gao Tao thinks that Yao Chonghua is smart and clever, he will have a way, after all, they have been working hard for so many years, and it is Yao Chonghua who has put forward new ideas for them, so they have made progress, and they are not in a hurry at this time.
When he went to bed at night, Yao Chonghua dreamed about how to solve the problem of kiln temperature.
The next day, Shen Tu and Yu Lei came to him to go to Bi Kiln together, Yao Chonghua refused, Shen Tu and Yu Lei felt strange, Yao Chonghua has been following them these days, when it comes to going to Bi Kiln, they are very willing, why did they change their temperament today? Because of yesterday's prophecy?
Yao Chonghua didn't explain, silently dug a pit outside the house, before it was done, don't boast about Haikou, his style is low-key, everyone looks at him, and they don't dare to be arrogant.
The two children also came to help him dig a pit when they saw him like this, Yao Chonghua's thin body couldn't dig any soil, so Yao Chonghua had two useful people to help, and two servants came to help.
After digging for a morning, five people dug a pit of about one cubic meter, at this time, Yao Chonghua stopped, went to move the wood piled up in the backyard, only the big roots, the Gao Tao family has a large population, and the wood has gathered a lot, Yao Chonghua looked at it, well, enough.
Let the servants put the wood into the dug pit, and then light the fire, which suddenly burst into the sky, and the raging fire attracted the onlookers of passers-by, and some people thought that there was a fire, and hurriedly carried a clay pot to extinguish the fire, which was stopped by Yao Chonghua.
Shen Tu and Yu Lei didn't know what he was doing, "Ah Hua, what if you set fire to the house outside the house and burn it to the house?" "My mother is inside, and she knows that she is going to blame us for arson. ”
"Don't worry, we're not setting fires, you see we're still so far from the house, we can't burn."
"So what exactly are you going to do?"
"Hehe, you'll find out in two days."
As soon as he finished speaking, Non Ding came out of the house, pushed through the crowd on the third floor, and finally walked to the middle, glaring at the three children angrily: "What are you doing?!" Didn't Gao Tao tell you that you can't play with fire? Quickly pulled the three children away from the fire pit, although he said harsh words with a serious expression, but this kind of protection moved Yao Chonghua very much, if it was his mother, she would also protect him like this, all maternal love in the world is great.
Shen Tu and Yu Lei were a little stunned by yelling, they were both dragged into the water by Yao Chonghua, and they didn't know how to say it, but they couldn't do it if they put the responsibility on their little brother, I have to say that Shen Tu and Yu Lei were righteous enough at a young age.
Yao Chonghua didn't care about Ren Ding's anger, because he knew that he was right, but it was wrong to ignore the elders, so he said again: "Madam, don't worry, this fire can't burn the house." ”
Non Ding didn't know what to say, this fire really couldn't burn the house, and the fire had started, and now I don't know how much water it will take to extinguish it.
Yao Chonghua looked at the situation of the fire, it was still a little close, so let's wait.
At this time, Bi Bo also heard the sound and rushed over, since yesterday I heard Yao Chonghua say that the water tank could not be made, he was not attentive next to the kiln, today I didn't see Yao Chonghua They went to look for him, just heard that Yao Chonghua was magnifying the fire outside the house, and quickly came over to see, "What are you doing?" ”
Yao Chonghua gave Bi Bo a salute as usual before he spoke: "Old Bi Bo, I am the key to the success of the water tank." ”
Bi was puzzled: "It's better to set fire here than in the kiln?" ”
"Not good."
"Isn't that fooling Lao Sue?" Bi Bo was a little disappointed, he thought that Yao Chonghua had come up with some good way, Bi Bo has many years of experience in pottery making, and it is not that he has not burned pottery outdoors, but the pottery made is more fragile than that made in the kiln, if this method is still forgotten.
"Old Bi Bo, let's be a trick on Chonghua now, you'll find out in two days."
Bi Bo didn't say anything more, let Yao Chonghua do it at will, he can have the ability to make molds and grout, he is already very powerful, let's talk about it if he can't make it, he is old now, he can do it, and if he can't do it, he will go into the soil with regrets.
At this time, Yao Chonghua saw that it was almost burned, so he said to Ren Ding: "Madam, can you give Chonghua some soil for growing vegetables in the yard?" ”
Ren Ding was vigilant: "You have already burned a fire, what do you want to do with the soil?" ”
"It's just useful." Yao Chonghua sacrificed his image and bought a cute for Ren Ding.
Ren Ding was choked speechless by Yao Chonghua like this, and nodded.
Yao Chonghua asked Shen Tu and Yu Lei to watch the fire, and he took two servants to the vegetable garden to carry out a lot of soil with wooden planks, the soil in the vegetable garden was moist enough, it should be fine, and then poured his head on the burning wood without blinking his eyes, until the fire was completely covered.
That's right, all he has to do is charcoal.
Anyone who has studied chemistry knows that in order to make wood fully burned, one is to have enough oxygen, the second is to have a high enough ignition point, and the third is the fuel itself can be utilized.
Seeing that Yao Chonghua was obviously burning the fire very strongly, but he covered it with wet soil to extinguish the fire, which was redundant, he didn't watch and left silently.
Yao Chonghua didn't care about it after stepping on the soil, and said that he wanted to play with Shen Tu Yulei, but Ren Ding and the onlookers were puzzled, what is this doing? Yao Chonghua didn't say the reason, just assume that he was messing around.
Two hours later, Yao Chonghua came back with Shen Di and Yu Lei, dug out the buried in the pit, isolated the air for so long, the fire had long since stopped, the black charcoal made a few children dirty themselves, but unfortunately they couldn't take care of it, they had to put the charcoal turned out in the sun to dry, Yao Chonghua didn't know if so much charcoal was enough, so he decided to burn another pit.
When Ren Ding and Bi Bo heard that the bear children had set fire to the pit again, they were indifferent.
When it was burned for the second time, there was a noble lord Qin Buxuan, who was sent back by Gaotao, who looked much younger than Gaotao, he took Gaotao's words to let a few children take it easy, don't hurt themselves, Lord Qin Buxuan rushed at the right time, and licked a laborer for Yao Chonghua.
When Gao Tao came back, it happened that Ren Ding was boiling water for a few children to bathe, and his mouth kept chattering, three black children were very obedient and sat on the steps and let Ren Ding's chatter, Gao Tao suddenly felt very happy, before Ren Ding didn't know what the reason was not conceived, he was really in love with Ren Ding, and he didn't want Ren Ding to be wronged, and he never married the second room, so he picked up two children in the mountains as stepsons, although he had a stepson, but it was a pity that he didn't have a child, But seeing such a warm scene today, I feel that I just need to protect them well in my life.
