Chapter 47: You've Learned to Be Lazy Too

There were no tools to hold water, they stood in the water and splashed the pit dug by the water net, and stopped when they saw that it was almost over, Shen Xiaoxiao used her hands and mud, and stepped on it with her feet, until she kneaded it into a mud ball, and then used some mud to live.

In order to prevent the mud from getting dirty with the sand, she picked two large leaves and spread them on the ground, then divided the mud into small balls and began to rub the mud strips.

Daya watched her movements curiously, what is the goddess doing?

"This is the preparation before firing the pottery, first kneading the clay into strips, and then coiling it into the tools that need to be used." Daya subconsciously asked the question in her heart, and Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at her and said.

"But isn't it all mud?" Daya still doesn't understand, what can be made of mud?

"Not later." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, and the movements in his hands did not stop.

Daya didn't say anything more, and also pulled a piece of mud and rubbed the mud strips, but the mud strips she kneaded were uneven, thick in the middle and thin at the ends, so she couldn't do anything at all, Shen Xiaoxiao saw this and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, the mud strips you rub out like this can't be used." "If you rub it like this, even if you rub it too much, it's useless, and it's a waste of mud.

She took another lump of mud, "Look, press it evenly on top of the mud with your hands, and then start rubbing." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the place where he held his palm and thumb and said, "The mud strips that are rubbed out are only easy to use if they are evenly sized."

Hearing this, Daya nodded hurriedly, took another mud ball, carefully put her hand on it, and rubbed it gently, Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Don't be so careful, it's okay to use some force." ”

Daya smiled, "Okay." ”

"It was like this at first, and it will be good to get acquainted with it." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, and patiently told her about the skills, Daya also learned very quickly, although the speed of kneading the mud strips was slower, but the victory was stable, seeing that she got started, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more, and focused on rubbing the mud strips.

After kneading the mud strips, Shen Xiaoxiao took a ball of mud, pressed it on the ground, and pressed it into a uniform and smooth circle, which was used to make the chassis, the thickness of the chassis was determined according to the size of the clay billet pinched, the large chassis was larger and thicker, and the small chassis was thinner.

After the chassis was done, Shen Xiaoxiao picked up a mud strip and coiled it around the periphery of the chassis, and then went up to the plate, after three laps, she pressed and smoothed the place where the mud strip and the chassis met with her hand to make the mud strip and the chassis better connected together, and smeared some mud on the dry place.

After smoothing out the joints of the mud strips, Shen Xiaoxiao continued to coil the mud strips, and after three or four circles, the places where the two circles of mud were connected were smoothed.

Soon a amphora casserole was ready, she made the bottom slightly smaller, the middle was larger than the bottom, the mouth of the pot was recycled, and then the mouth of the pot was coiled outward twice, and finally two ears were made on both sides, which was easy to take when taking it.

Then she made a wide-mouthed amphora casserole, which she was worried would crack when she burned it, and the two were safer.

Then she made the lid of the pot again, Daya looked at the plate in amazement, she didn't think that it was mud just now but now it has become like this, it looks like it can really hold things.

Seeing that Daya was interested, Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, "If you are interested, you can also learn to make one." ”

"Okay." Daya was eager to try, Shen Xiaoxiao taught her to do it from the very beginning, and taught her to coil the mud strips on it by hand, Daya didn't plate it again after four turns, she got started for the first time, and Shen Xiaoxiao asked her to make a bowl first.

With an exclamation, Shen Xiaoxiao looked over, only to see that the bowl that was about to be formed in Daya's hand collapsed into a ball of mud, her eyes were full of disbelief and annoyance, obviously she didn't think that it would collapse, Shen Xiaoxiao comforted, "This is normal, it will be like this if you don't master the strength well at the beginning, and when you master the skills, this kind of thing will rarely happen." ”

Daya nodded and continued to plate the mud strips, but she tried four or five times before she finally succeeded, but Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say for a while.

I saw that the "bowl" made of Daya was two circles larger than usual, and the wall of the bowl was much shorter.

Seeing Daya's expectant eyes, Shen Xiaoxiao swallowed the words that were about to blurt out, "It's not bad, it can be used." "As for what to do, let's talk about it, at least it doesn't dampen her confidence in doing it.

"Really?" Daya asked happily, and Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Then I'll make another one." Daya said excitedly, sure enough, it was useful for her to deliberately make it bigger, no, it was successful, then she would make it bigger, so it would be much better.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her again and again, and was embarrassed to say something that hit her when she was so interested, of course, if she knew what Daya was thinking, she wouldn't think so.

Now she is still thinking about the big deal to use as a plate, and she doesn't know that Daya is thinking about making it bigger.

Then Shen Xiaoxiao plated the spoon and soup spoon again, and the sunset gradually fell, seeing that there were still many mud strips left, Shen Xiaoxiao simply plated the amphora again, which can be used to fill water and wash dishes, so that there is no need to come to the river when washing things.

Thinking so, Shen Xiaoxiao thought that he should get a water tank out and fill a water tank at the entrance of the hole, so that it would be much more convenient to use water.

But now it's a little dark, and there is no mud anymore, so I have to plate it again tomorrow, and then I will make a deeper bowl out, which can be used to wash vegetables or something.

After washing his hands, Shen Xiaoxiao walked with Daya to the tribe, Daya looked at the pottery billet and said, "Goddess, don't you have to bring these things back?" ”

"No, put it here to dry, wait for two days and then burn it." Shen Xiaoxiao walked as he walked, and Daya didn't say anything more although he was puzzled.

"Daya, you're going to be lazy now, too." Erya said angrily, she had already seen Shen Xiaoxiao playing with mud over there, and she really didn't know how Daya would follow her to do such a boring thing, it was a waste of time.

Daya frowned slightly, and said, "I didn't go to pick today because the witch doctor allowed it." ”

"The witch doctor told you to take care of the cubs, so you should go with the others and play in the mud." Erya said indignantly, she could see that she was really angry about this matter, although she said it to Daya, her eyes kept staring at Shen Xiaoxiao.

"We're not playing with mud, we're burning pottery." Daya hurriedly said, Erya sneered when she heard this, "You dare to say that it's not, so what were you doing just now?" Isn't it playing with mud? "What kind of pottery, she can see it clearly, they are simply playing with mud, don't think that you can deceive her by washing your hands and coming back.

Besides, since it was a pottery burning, it had to be fire, she didn't see any traces of fire at all, although she didn't know what the pottery was, but they were clearly lying.

"No, I said no." Daya also didn't know much about what Shen Xiaoxiao said about burning pottery, and she didn't know how to explain it for a while, so she almost cried in a hurry.
