36. Clay and clay kilns

36

Clay!

The mud that the monkeys are playing with is actually clay!

What is this clay?

As long as there is clay, you don't have to worry about making ceramics!

And the most important thing is that Chen Feng also has an understanding of the process of manufacturing ceramics!

Due to the experience of both parents working in the kiln factory, Chen Feng is very familiar with the process of burning bricks and kilns!

As long as there is clay, Chen Feng is confident that he will be able to burn ceramics!

Although the appearance is certainly not good, it may even be very ugly.

But it is not easy to burn ceramics in the hot rainforest.

Who cares if things look good or not? It's good to have one use, but what more bicycle?

As for why there is clay here, Chen Feng said that I have no melon in the rain.

Crossing into a jaguar can happen to me, and everything else... It's a little funny!

So Chen Feng ordered Lao Tzu to take local materials and transport these clays back to the cave!

As for the means of transportation, it is very simple, tutor Cai Jianyi and the monkeys to wrap vines between the two wooden guns, and then put thick leaves on them, which can be used as simple burdens.

Although the appearance is very simple, the effect is definitely better than a monkey holding a pile of mud, so it is estimated that it will be all gone before it reaches the mountain.

"You carry the burden, I lead the monkey, usher in the sunrise, send away the sunset......"

Chen Feng walked slowly, humming an adapted tune in his mouth, very leisurely, followed by a group of bitter haha who moved mud behind him.

Of course, after Chen Feng's voice, the lyrics became: "Ah woo ~ Ah woo ~ Ah woo ~"

The monkeys behind him, including Cai Jianxian, were secretly frightened, this voice didn't sound good, it seemed that the boss was not in a good mood!

So the monkeys who will make a mistake are even more cautious, for fear that one of them will accidentally anger the boss and be whipped for no reason.

At Chen Feng's suggestion, the monkeys piled up all the clay at the foot of the mountain.

Then it's time to decide what to burn.

To be honest, Chen Feng has just considered this issue.

After all, he didn't expect to suddenly get almost endless clay.

He never thought that there would be a group of monkeys that could barely be used by four or five adults as long as they were trained well.

In the end, Chen Feng decided: first get the pots and pans up as a practice, and the accommodation problem will be eased for the time being!

Since you want to make pottery, you naturally want to build a kiln!

Like a long and wide cupola kiln like a kiln, Chen Feng certainly didn't have the ability to build it.

But building a simple small earthen kiln is simply Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts: a piece of cake!

Which rural baby can't build a small earthen kiln?

At that time, there were a few sweet potatoes or something, build a small earthen kiln, and bake it inside, that fragrant!

Tear open the skin of the sweet potato, and even the meat inside is roasted out of the juice, just like brown sugar juice, put it together and suck it up, it's not too delicious!

So baked sweet potatoes are one of the few good memories of Chen Feng's childhood!

In fact, it is very simple to build an earthen kiln, and the specific steps are as follows:

First, make a cylindrical mud bucket and hollow out the middle, but make the walls thicker.

A temporary vent is built with stones at the bottom, and a certain gap should be maintained between the stones to facilitate ventilation.

Then put in the firewood and light it.

In order to improve efficiency, Chen Feng also deliberately used a little black technology.

Pick a thin stone, polish it into a disc, and using crocodile teeth, drill some holes in it!

It is then placed inside the kiln to greatly improve the efficiency of the kiln.

This is the principle of honeycomb coal, which is densely packed with small holes to maximize the concentration of flames.

Of course, the reason is very simple, if Chen Feng is a person with hands and feet, it is not difficult to make.

But if Cai Jianxing and the monkeys were to do it, one defective product after another would be created in minutes.

But the hard work paid off, uh, it's a monkey, and after dozens of failures, a decent little earthen kiln finally came out!

The next step is to pinch the clay embryo.

Chen Feng originally thought that he could learn so quickly in an earthen kiln, and it shouldn't be a big problem to pinch an embryo!

But the imagination is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and the technique of pinching embryos is alive, and the monkeys really can't play it!

No, originally Chen Feng wanted Cai Jianxing to pinch a bowl embryo first, but Chen Feng roared so much that his mouth was dry, and Cai Jianxian, this guy just couldn't understand the concept of a bowl.

After all, the bowl has to be pinched round, and a small round base has to be pinched, after all, the little monkey has never seen a bowl, and it is really a bit difficult for you to let him pinch a bowl out of the void.

No matter how awesome your imagination is, no matter how strange your brain circuits are, no matter how big your brain hole is, you have to find the corresponding archetype comparison in reality!

Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Paint gods and ghosts...... It is just that on the common human body, an eye has been added, and the neck has increased by two or three feet. ”

It can be seen that the horror of the underlying consciousness can affect the mind unconsciously.

In Cai Health's subconscious and memory, there is no concept of bowls at all.

Come on, since you can't learn to pinch bowls, then settle for the next best thing and pinch a basin!

This thing is much better than a bowl, boxy, and not technical at all.

However, it was this simple thing, Cai Health Care was crooked and pitted.

Obviously it is a square or rectangle, and Cai Jianxing can pinch out a triangle

Under Chen Feng's dual education of verbal and tiger whip, Cai Jianxing, who has failed many times, was finally able to barely make a appearance.

Looking at this embryo with wavy lines, Chen Feng couldn't cry or laugh.

Okay, okay, okay, anyway, you can load things, it's not necessary to be too demanding.

However, this pot embryo needs to be dried before it can be burned.

Normally, it takes two days to burn the embryos, but the rainforest climate is hot, and only one day is enough.

Chen Feng also put the embryo next to the fire to dry for a while, which dries faster and the time can be shortened to half a day.

Of course, looking at the experience he continued to gain, Chen Feng did not let the great health care sit idle, and made a lot of embryos for backup, because he had a hunch in his dark that he should not succeed the first time.

The next day, firing began in earnest.

Sure enough, not long after I put the pelvic embryo in, it cracked!

And it exploded, and with a bang, the monkeys watching next to him were scared to pee.

What is the reason for this?

Chen Feng tried a few more times, and there was no doubt that it still exploded!

Could it be that the explosion was caused by uneven heating?

Holding his chin and twisting his beard, Chen Feng secretly pondered.

The first few times I fired it, I didn't turn the embryo upside down once, and the flame should only burn at one of the points!

So Chen Feng ordered Cai Jianxing to find two animal bones, clamp the embryo like chopsticks, and bump twice from time to time.

Cai Jianxian, who carried out the order, couldn't help but tremble, for fear that the thing would suddenly explode.

This method really worked, and it was fired for a long time without an explosion.

According to the experience of the previous life, this embryo must not be taken out if it is not burned to redness!

So Chen Feng patiently lay next to him, waiting for the first pot to appear.
