The lessons learned from yesterday's failure have taught me that there are more firing timeouts and need to be shortened further.

But it's also a great thing to be happy about, the shorter the firing time, the better, I wish I could burn it in a minute, not only to save a lot of time, but also to spend a lot less firewood.

The second firing time was cut in half, about 6 hours, and this time only two pottery bowls were put in.

After the fire is extinguished and the temperature drops, the result is still unsatisfactory, although at first glance it feels successful, but after a closer look, you can find that there are still places that have not burned through!

Experiments are like this, thinking of Edison's experience of inventing the light bulb thousands of times, the trouble is far from being a big deal, at least it is clearly visible that it is getting closer and closer to success.

The third time I changed the firing time to eight hours, this time the effect is better, a little overdone, but overall it is relatively intact, and it can be used directly!

The fourth time was adjusted to seven and a half hours, and because more pottery was placed with confidence, the result finally reached the desired goal, and all but one of the pottery pots was cracked and scrapped.

After the technology was relatively mature, all the pottery was fired in one kiln.

After several days of burning in the kiln, I was already disgusted, even my skin was almost dried by the fire, and there was no ready-made firewood within a radius of two or three hundred meters, and everything I could pick up was turned into ashes.

In the end, I got two open vats with a volume of about 200 catties, four clay pots for making soup and putting things, and seven or eight clay pots, and the results were not bad.

Considering the necessity of storing things, the clay pot also deliberately made several lids, such as peanuts and corn seeds, which need to be sealed and stored to ensure that they are dry and not eaten by insects.

In a short period of time, I don't think I will be firing pottery anymore, all kinds of pottery at home can basically meet the daily needs, and even because the house is so small that there is no place to put it, I began to dislike them for taking up space!

Of course it's a joke!

The addition of a large number of pottery can finally say goodbye to the shabby state of using plastic bottles of water, not only is the capacity of pottery much smaller, but also cumbersome to pour in and out, the only thing worthy of praise is that it will not be polluted by dust falling from the roof.

......

One of the large tanks was forced to move into the house to store domestic water, and the daily water consumption has been raised, and it is no longer as economical as before.

When you need to use it, you can use it in the well, which is not only troublesome, but also difficult to keep the well clear, so I also weave a cover to prevent debris from falling into the tank and contaminating the water.

One of the great advantages of being close to the well is that when the tank is full, it takes less than two minutes to fetch water from a clay pot and pour it into the tank.

It's just that now the container and water consumption have been raised, and the water bottleneck has fallen on the well again, and the capacity of the well can only hold two buckets of water to keep up with the rhythm, and I need a bigger well!

It was urgent to expand the capacity of the well, so I didn't hesitate at all, and went directly to scoop out the clean water inside and pour it into the water tank.

Then it took nearly a day to expand the capacity of the well to the point where it could barely hold five buckets of water, and no matter how big it was, it would not be able to expand, because the back was almost entirely full of stones, and it was no longer a problem that could be solved by a wooden shovel.

After finishing the work of the well, today I want to look around the beach, I have been busy building houses and firing pottery for a long time and have not been to the beach.

Plastic bottles and other items basically don't have much use value for me, going to the beach to pick up supplies is similar to a lottery, if you can't keep it together, the sea will send me some warmth or meet a boat that can leave here!

Speaking of ships, I have to mention that a few days ago, when I was firing pottery, I heard the sound of a giant ship honking, and I felt like I was on pins and needles at that time, but I was refining pottery

I can't leave it for a while.

And I think it's my auditory hallucinations, and I don't know if it's a sound next time, so I think I'll rush to the beach to check it out if I hear it again.

An hour later, the sea really warmed me, and I was really warm!

Although I am not a fishing enthusiast, the warmth of today is also very meaningful, it is not only a tool to obtain ingredients, but also as a recreational tool to pass the time!

......

I had just seen a large pile of garbage entangled in various marine debris in the middle of a pile of rocks, and although it was in a troublesome position, it was successfully dragged to shore with my resourcefulness.

This clump contains all kinds of garbage, and picking up garbage here is what I love to do, and after taking them apart one by one, I saw a pair of fishing tools that were very hidden.

The rod and line were wrapped around the marine debris, and the line was so tangled that it had to be taken home and burned off and reconnected, but the line itself was long enough and the hook was still there.

I'm glad I didn't just miss it if it wasn't for my curiosity just now.

Looking at its appearance, it is obviously a pair of sea fishing, the rod is short and thick, and the line is also very thick, this fishing tackle can catch at least 20 catties of fish in my estimation.

As for how big it is, there's nothing to say, with my ability, I may only be able to catch less than 20 pounds, and if it's big, I can only let it go!

After going home and sorting out the winding lines and making a drift with a dry stick, in the afternoon, I couldn't resist the urge to fish with the new fishing rod I had just gotten.

Because my home is by the river, when I was a child, I used to go down to the river to fish and fish, and I especially liked the sense of accomplishment when fighting with fish and pulling fish ashore.

When I got the new toy, I felt like I had gone back to that time, and I rushed to the beach with my fishing tackle in my heart.

Before I set off, I first selected a fish of about one pound in the fish pond, cut it into pieces and hung it on the hook as bait, which is the convenience of fishing for sea fish.

In the past, when fishing for river fish, you had to dig earthworms as bait, which was not only troublesome but also made your hands smelly!

I seemed a little impatient, the location of the fishing had already been chosen in my mind, I don't know how many times I had been around the beach for such a long time, and I obviously knew where to fish on the beach during the week.

From the other side of the mountain, you can walk at a normal pace for about 20 minutes to reach the fishing spot, which is a large rock outcropping from the beach that stretches to the beach at one end and deep water at the other.

......

The top of the reef is relatively flat, and you can stand directly on the top of the big rock without your feet getting wet, so it can be said to be a natural fishing spot.

Hang the bait, throw the line into the water in one go, and then wait for an unknown amount of time.

Fishing is a very self-cultivation thing, which can exercise your patience and temper, especially for short-tempered people who can make their temperament more peaceful through fishing.

Of course, fishing is also a very exciting thing, whenever the fish bites the hook, the heart is always full of anticipation and infinite reverie, and the moment the fish is pulled ashore will make people burst out with great joy and a sense of achievement!

Fifteen minutes later, as I sat in a daze and watched the seaside landscape, I didn't move, for I wasn't sure if it had bitten the hook solidly.

Another twenty seconds passed, and the fish in the water began to drag my rod to the left and right in the sea, and the next battle was inevitable, and I began to slowly pull back.

Its strength is really not small, and the explosive power of a moment almost pulled me down, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful in the first actual battle.

After reacting, although it didn't make me move forward, it also made me change from a standing position to a squatting position!

Later, it developed into a tug-of-war competition, but its distance is constantly getting closer, and its figure can be clearly seen.

It is a tuna with a length of about 50 cm. No wonder it looks like it's not big, and it's so powerful!

Tuna swim extremely fast, at its fastest can exceed more than a hundred kilometers, almost comparable to the speed of a sports car.

It's a very delicious ingredient, and the urge to pull it ashore is even more urgent, and the strength in my hands is much smoother than just before to make sure it's safe.

Although it was explosive, its staying power was not too good, and after five minutes of fighting, it successfully turned into my trophy!

After landing, the tuna should not be allowed to jump, so as not to cause blood congestion in the body, which will cause extensive muscle damage and affect the deliciousness of the meat.

......

Its sharp teeth made me give up on the idea of unhooking the fish while it was alive, and I had to pick up a rock next to it and hit the fish's head, and then use a knife to disembowel the fish, and then I had a chance to unhook the fish.

This fish weighs only about five catties, which is considered a small person in tuna, and if it is an adult fish, the rod in the hand may fly out the moment it is hooked.

After three hours until returning to the top of the mountain, only two fish were caught, and both of them were not very big, but harvesting about ten catties of fish in half a day is also a bumper harvest, especially now when the temperature drops and you can't go to sea!

In general, sea fishing is more exciting than river fishing, and you never know what role the other side of the rod is fighting against you until the fish comes ashore!

Unfortunately, I didn't have a container for the fish before I set off, and in addition to the tuna, which was killed outright, the other two fish also died.

It seems that I should pay attention to this next time, and it is a very luxurious thing for me to have fresh fish to eat in winter.

When I got home, I was not only processing the fish, but I also cut a small net to make a net.

Each time, the fish you catch are put directly into the net pocket and then hoisted into the sea, so that the fish are still alive and kicking when you get home, so that they can be kept in the fish pond.

Only half of the tuna is cut into slices and pan-fried in clay pots, and although there are no seasonings, it is still delicious with salt.

I haven't eaten such delicious fish for a long time, most of the fish meat quality usually caught is white meat, the taste can only be regarded as average, the fish caught with red meat is very rare, an average of 30 are difficult to meet one!
