Chapter 4 Successful pottery making

This made Cheng Ran very happy, this is not only the container for water and hope, but also for cooking and other things in the future, and Cheng Ran and they can basically say goodbye to the primitive society.

Cheng Ran's task is to make two or three larger containers that can easily hold water, but the difficulty of firing pottery can also increase exponentially after it becomes larger.

When Cheng Ran returned to the shelter, he put down all the fired pottery, saw that Li Yuxin had already made a basket, and said, "This basket looks as good as you." ”

"Why, let's try it and see if it works." Li Yuxin said shyly

Cheng Ran went to the water source again, and this time found that it was slightly clearer than when he came in the morning, Cheng Ran tried to drink a few sips, but he didn't feel particularly nauseous.

After drinking the water, Cheng Ran used the basket that Li Yuxin had just knitted, and put several kinds of water tanks that he thought were suitable for the most important water tank on the side of the waterhole.

After Cheng Ran returned to the shelter, he followed the same steps to make teacups, and added some firewood ashes to try some, Cheng Ran quickly got it, three different teacups, and each with different logos.

After another firing, Cheng Ran found a suitable soil, and found a kind of black soil found by the waterhole, although the burned pottery looks particularly ugly, but it feels very textured to use, and the sound is relatively crisp and pleasant, Cheng Ran feels that he can make relatively large pottery.

Cheng Ran has found the most suitable soil, and has a certain understanding of the firing process, and believes that he can make a water tank with a relatively good texture.

Cheng Ran once again took the basket to the water source, and found that the water tank made in the morning had been cracked in the sun, so he walked to the dark soil, filled the basket with soil and returned to the shelter, and after going back and forth a few times, he felt that the soil was enough, and then started the pottery work again.

At this time, Cheng Ran saw Li Yuxin coming over and said with a smile: "Why don't you try to do some fun." ”

Li Yuxin shook her head and said, "But I don't know how to make pottery and fire pottery at all. ”

"It's okay, I know something. As long as the earth and water are mixed in a certain proportion, just like dumplings and {huo} noodles, then you can use it to knead some of your favorite shapes. Cheng Ran said

In the past two days, Cheng Ran has returned to the time when he played with his friends in the mud when he was a child, the two of them were dealing with the mud almost all day long, and their faces and hair were full of mud, although they were dirty, they both enjoyed it.

"What are you pinching?" Cheng Ran looked at the basin-like pottery in Li Yuxin's hand and said

Li Yuxin said with a smile: "Can't you see it? ”

"I still can't see it, is it a basin?" Cheng Ran shook his head and said

"No, this is a bowl, a bowl for eating." Li Yuxin said

"Who needs such a big bowl to eat, I'm afraid it's for pigs, maybe you want to raise an animal?" Cheng Ran said with a blank face

"It's for you," Li Yuxin said with a big laugh on her face

"Okay, you're turning around and scolding me for being a pig." Cheng Ran pretended to be angry and said

"I didn't say it, you said it yourself," Li Yuxin said with a smile

Cheng Ran suddenly smiled wickedly, and wiped the mud in his hand on Li Yuxin's cheek with lightning speed.

"Hey, Cheng Ran, what are you doing?"

Li Yuxin was caught off guard, and after Cheng Ran's sneak attack was successful, she wiped her big face, like a cute flower-faced cat, and immediately fought back, and also wanted to smear Cheng Ran with a big face.

Helplessly, Cheng Ran came prepared, and immediately slipped away after the sneak attack was successful, and had already run to the door of the shelter, and said happily, "Come on, you can't catch up with me, ah...... Woo....... At this time, Li Yuxin suddenly tripped under her feet, and her center of gravity was unstable and pounced on Cheng Ran's body, and the two had an intimate contact.

After the people got up, they walked away with red faces.

Cheng Ran took the pottery made by the two of them to dry in the sun, and then took it to fire again.

When Cheng Ran finished doing these things, it was getting late, and the two of them ate some shells, bananas, and fruits again, and in these days, the two of them slowly began to feel disgusted with these things, and they kept eating the same things, which was too bad for the balance of body nutrition.

Now that the problem of water source is almost solved, Cheng Ran plans to go around tomorrow to see if he can find other food.

Brought the water tank fired yesterday to the beach, Cheng Ran was pleasantly surprised to find that the water tank they made yesterday basically did not leak a drop of water, and it looked very strong and durable, the water tank should not have any problems for a while and a half, the only disadvantage is that the weight is a little heavy, about five to seven catties each, the main reason is that the cylinder wall is too thick, and the follow-up can be optimized from this aspect, but the cylinder wall is too thin and should not be durable, it is estimated that it will be easy to crack, and it can only be like this first. I'll think of other ways later.

There is a small crack at the bottom of a water tank made by Cheng Ran, and the water can leak out of it, seeing some leaks, Cheng Ran originally planned to throw it away, but Cheng Ran suddenly had an excellent idea after thinking of charcoal.

Maybe you can try to use this device as a water filter, and decorate it with gravel and charcoal, which should be able to filter water, thinking of this, Cheng Ran plans to take some water and try it when he comes back.

Considering that a water tank should be enough to last for a day or two, Cheng Ran brought a water tank and a teacup and planned to fetch some water and come back.

When he came to the waterhole, Cheng Ran found that the amount of water was still good, and this water tank could be filled.

By the time Cheng Ran filled the water tank, he felt that it could be filled with about ten liters, and it seemed that he didn't have to worry about water in the past few days, and it should still rain on this island.

There was no lid for the water tank, and the opening was very large, Cheng Ran was afraid that the water would spill, so he walked with him on the way back.

With the addition of water to the water tank, the weight is estimated to be almost close to thirty catties, and Cheng Ran can only walk for a while to rest.

When I returned to the shelter, I found that there was a lot of water spilled, almost as close to a liter.

It seems that there will be a chance to make a lid in the future, otherwise it will be wasted.

The water is still a little turbid, Cheng Ran plans to let it settle first, and then filter it, and it is best to boil it in a water tank, which is also more hygienic.

Cheng Ran took out the cracked water tank and walked to the beach with Li Yuxin talking and laughing.

Cheng Ran went to the beach to clean the water tank, and Li Yuxin went to the beach to find some slightly larger grains of sand.
