021 Weaving pottery

Lin Yan took a group of children and began to toss.

Soak the hemp silk in plant ash water for three days, pull out the hemp silk inside, and then dry it.

The resulting hemp silk is much softer than before.

Grass branch is most interested in this. She thinks the weaving method is so interesting.

If there is a better thread, I will definitely be able to weave the clothes that Lin Yan said.

Five days later, a thin ball of twine was made, and everyone was stunned.

Under Lin Yan's guidance, the grass branch used soft twine to weave a few pieces of linen and spliced them into a straight gown.

Finally, I don't have to wrap the leaves, the material of the gown is soft, and the skin that doesn't stab hurts. Lin Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he wore it on his body.

After the hemp silk was processed and spun into thread, it turned out to be so much that they seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and they started to use their brains and start all kinds of experiments.

Lin Yan told him what the clothes looked like, and let everyone do the split style of the top and bottom library.

Like a little spark, Tho Ma ignited the Sun Tribe and ignited a raging flame.

People no longer simply hunt for food to satisfy their hunger, they know the magic of tools, and can make all kinds of linen cloth and hemp products.

When Lin Yan was researching the loom, Lao Hei brought great news.

After unremitting efforts, Lao Hei found a cave, the soil in it was different from ordinary soil, and he immediately brought a basket back to find Lin Yan.

After being tested by Fat Bao, it is indeed clay, although the quality is not very good, but it is indeed clay.

"Is it really clay?" Lao Hei couldn't believe it, after looking for so long, he really found it.

Lin Yan nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you to burn pottery." ”

The two of them came to the Sun River, mixed water and clay, squeezed it many times, and kneaded out a simple clay shape with their hands, and several flat bottom plates.

After drying, take it back and burn it on the fire.

Seeing the mud embryo change from black-brown to reddish-brown on the fire, Lao Hei's eyes widened.

Before he could be happy, a plate burst with a bang.

Lin Yan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's normal to crack, let's try a few more times, we can find a good ratio of water and clay, and we can better control the heat, we will definitely succeed." ”

Out of trust in Lin Yan, Lao Hei believed it for the time being.

The first test firing, all cracked, none of which succeeded.

Everyone is surprised to see it, but they also know the general firing process.

Lin Yan was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's normal to do it for the first time, and it's not good." Let's get some more clay and do it slowly. ”

"Good" Mazuki was the first to respond.

So, under the leadership of Mao Mu and Lao Hei, several children followed to see the place where the clay was dug.

In fact, it is not far, just in the southwest direction, about three miles away from Lin Yan's house.

Lin Yan saw that it was a hole, and there was animal feces in it after entering, which should be a hole made by a big animal, and after extending obliquely downward for more than two meters, the color of the black soil layer gradually faded, faded to black, and was earthy yellow.

Looking at the gradient cave wall, Lin Yan suddenly understood.

The place where they are located is densely wooded, and the ground is all black soil, which has been formed by the accumulation of dead wood leaves for many years.

Underneath the black soil layer is a tighter layer of soil, covered with gravel and mostly rocks. Dig further down and there may be a difference.

Underground resources are not what they seem.

Lin Yan suddenly realized that she had ignored this point before, and she couldn't find a suitable soil for a long time.

After digging a few baskets of soil, the group went back and began to burn again, for convenience, they made a place by the Sun River, and made mud while firing.

After burning twice, they all cracked.

Everyone felt that they could not burn the mud directly on the fire, so they dug a pit, placed the mud and spread flammable dead leaves, dry grass, etc. around it.

Lin Yan adjusted the ratio of water and soil many times, and after more than ten days of hard work, he finally succeeded in firing a plate that did not crack.

The earthy yellow plate is about ten centimeters in diameter, crooked, and has a rough surface, which looks somewhat similar to a stone.

Lin Yan trembled his little hands, filled the plate with water, and carefully observed it for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found no trace of water leakage.

The others, like her, did not dare to come out of the atmosphere, staring closely at the plate for fear of missing something.

When they saw that the plate could really hold water, and it didn't show it at all, everyone was shocked.

Mao Mu exclaimed: "It's amazing, it doesn't leak." ”

The others also exclaimed, staring at the plate with fiery eyes.

Shui Sheng said excitedly: "Lin Yan, is this what you said about the plate?" You can also make bowls, cups, etc., right? ”

Lin Yan had already calmed down, "Don't get excited, this is just the coarsest pottery, and it's far from what I want." That's what I'm talking about, and if you think about it, you can not only burn plates, bowls, etc., but also make bigger ones, and you can make whatever you want. ”

The success of the initial experiment gave a group of people unlimited incentives to devote themselves to the great cause of pottery.

Lao Hei and Mao Mu are more focused on this.

Next, every day, there are successful products burned, and there are all kinds of things.

For more than a month, the bowls and plates can be used with confidence.

Lin Yan's longing for water cup is also available, but it is a simple cylindrical shape.

As the children brought home the fired plates, the tribesmen immediately realized the purpose of the pottery.

Young people joined in one after another and burned pottery together.

The strength of the people, coupled with the wisdom of the brain, soon burned batch after batch of various containers.

These containers do not pay attention to appearance, and only look at the leakage to judge the quality of the water.

The conditions are rudimentary, and you can't ask for too much. Lin Yan comforted himself like this, he had already taken a big step, and he would slowly improve later.

She drew the shapes she knew on the stone slab with charcoal and asked them to follow them.

When the pottery industry was in full swing, Caozhi came to Lin Yan.

She found the weaving method very interesting, and asked Lin Yan how to make the spinning machine and loom she said.

Lin Yan also discovered that Caozhi is very talented in this way, with a smart brain and a calm mentality, what he makes is better than others.

She drew the weaving patterns and the shapes of the simple loom and spinning machine in room 0103, explained the principle, and gave it to the grass branch.

The more Caozhi listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he hated to realize these things immediately. Satisfied, she walked away with the slate.

Lin Yan is also very happy, there are people who are willing to study, and there should be progress soon. She just needs to teach the things in the science museum and wait for the harvest.

It's just that now there is only twine made of twine, and if you want to use better cloth, you still have to find new materials.

Confined to this world, I don't know when I will be able to go out.

Looking at the contribution value of less than a hundred, Lin Yan felt that he had to work harder.

Let Lao Hei burn pottery with the people of the tribe, and she asked Mao Mu to take her around the neighborhood.

Mao Mu has been restless since he was a child, and he is a good person.

In case of danger, you can also take her to run quickly.
