The fluffy queen of the beast world is cute and spitting up

Chapter 140 Chapter 140

Since the last dinner together, Xiaoxi started collecting food again, and she dried out ten animal skin bags of dried bamboo shoots.

She and Changfeng took the remaining families to the place where the cotton wool was picked last year, and the family picked more than 100 catties of cotton wool, which is enough to keep warm in this year's snow season.

In the process of collecting materials, I had more contact with the males of Ahong's family before I realized why their brothers were east, south, and north, except for one missing west.

It turned out that it was because Xi went to fight fierce beasts as an adult, accidentally injured a bone, became disabled, and died of a serious illness in the following days.

Now the males of Ahong's family, the more they go out with Xiaoxi and the others to collect supplies for the snow season, the more confident they are in spending the snow season here.

They would also like to thank their family Ah Hong for her persistence. If she hadn't eaten two meals because of staying, they would not feel sorry for their partner and chose to stay.

In fact, the orcs are not very willing to travel long distances to the holy mountain to spend the snow season, but they have no way to stay in their original residence to spend the snow season.

Now that the big witch doctor Xiaoxi taught them to cook the kang, smoked animal meat, and burnt charcoal, he took them to collect all kinds of food, and now they even have cotton wool to keep them warm. What are they afraid of in the cold snow season? .

Changfeng also went alone to the place where he picked eggplant peppers last year, and picked five leather bags full of eggplant peppers from there.

Xiaoxi is going to dry these and bring them to the last big market with seasoning packets for barbecue, and exchange them with the orcs from the sea for salt.

Xiaoxi is going to return in exchange for more salt, and make some bacon after the frost season, so that they will have different flavors of animal meat to eat after the snow season.

For the past few days, she has been thinking about how to have some vegetables to eat during the snow season, even if there are no fresh vegetables, pickled vegetables are also fine.

Xiaoxi has always wanted to pickle some sour bamboo shoots, but he has never had a suitable container and rice soup to use.

Looking at the radishes and wild vegetables that are about to mature in the valley, because there is no jar for pickling, how to deal with these things at that time, I can't eat them all at once after transplanting so many.

This day, Xiaoxi must be looking at the fire kiln where they burn charcoal. Changfeng stood aside and watched for a while, really not knowing what she was looking at.

The firewood and charcoal that their family collected this year may not be enough to burn in one snow season, but why does Xiaoxi still look at the charcoal kiln like that?

Changfeng couldn't figure it out, so he walked up to Xiaoxi, held her in his arms and asked, "What are you doing with the fire kiln? The charcoal at home is enough for this year's snow season."

Xiao Xi leaned his head on Chang Feng's chest, and said softly: "It's not for burning charcoal. I see that the fire kiln you built was quite big at that time. Let's see if you can use this kiln to burn pottery. In this way, we can use the fired jars to pickle pickles and save them for the snow season.”

Changfeng also became interested when he heard Xiaoxi say what kind of pottery to burn. He knew that every time Xiaoxi came up with something very practical, he was looking forward to what kind of surprise he could bring them this time.

Xiaoxi and Changfeng have lived here for so long, and they know where there is clay, so with the mentality of giving it a try, the two went to the river to dig red clay, and went to the mountain to dig some black clay.

Although Xiaoxi was in a handicraft ceramic shop when traveling in her previous life, she spent money to knead crooked ceramic clay tires a few times, and heard some theoretical knowledge of pottery from the shop owner, but now she really wants to make good pottery products. Not that capable.

Fortunately, she doesn't need to produce high-quality pottery, as long as it can be used after being fired, she is satisfied.

After the clay was dug back, because of the strong wind, he didn't know how to do it, so Xiaoxi was the only one kneading the mud.

Xiaoxi recalled that according to the order of making pottery that the owner of the pottery shop said, the purpose of kneading the mud was to empty the air bubbles in the soil and make the mud more compact.

At that time, the boss seemed to say that without this process, it is easy to have air bubbles in the green body, and the green body is easy to crack and deform when it is dried and fired.

Xiaoxi kneaded the mud vigorously, and Changfeng saw that Xiaoxi's head was tired and sweaty, so he followed Xiaoxi's technique and started kneading.

Qingcang walked out of the cave with Xiaotang in his arms, and looked in surprise at the two big people who were still playing with mud under the big tree.

How old are these two people still playing this game, even Xiao Fengyuan is so big, it's not uncommon to play it.

The face slap came so quickly, Qing Cang just finished thinking, Xiao Fengyuan who came back from the outside saw Changfeng and Xiaoxi rubbing the mud, and happily ran over to join the ranks of playing with mud.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Qing Cang's mouth twitched as he stood on the platform in front of the cave. What kind of hobby is this? He is such a big man, and he still likes to play with mud like a little cub.

Qingcang stopped watching these childish ghosts playing with mud, turned around and went into the cave to make food for Xiaotang.

It's not that Xiaoxi didn't see Qing Cang's disdainful eyes, but he told him at this time that he didn't understand either, so it's better to let him withdraw his disdainful eyes when he's done.

After the clay is kneaded, the creek starts to make blanks, which is also called casting. After the clay is kneaded, you can start to make blanks. According to the final shape of the utensil, roughly corresponding blanks are made for later printing blanks. used when.

Xiaoxi put the kneaded large and small jars, and the rough blanks of the jars in the cave, placed them obliquely on a board, and did not place them upright, because they were afraid that the bottom would crack.

Because it was the first time Xiaoxi was not sure that it could be fired, so I didn't make too many. I only made five and a half small jars and two larger hearths.

This kind of hearth was seen when she was traveling in an ancient city in the north called Baozili when she was traveling in her previous life. In season they will be warmer.

Xiao Fengyuan took a crooked clay cake he made himself, and ran to Xiaoxi, "Sister, look at what I made, and when you burn that pottery tomorrow, put this in and burn it, okay?" good."

Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, took it and put it together with the mud he made, "Of course."

Xiao Fengyuan smiled happily when he heard that Xiaoxi was willing to burn the mud he made.

Chang Feng walked over and took a look at the silly Xiao Feng Yuan, and pulled Xiao Xi out of the cave, "You are tired, go wash, and lie down on the kang to rest, I will wash some fruits for you to eat."

After kneading the mud for so long and kneading the mud, Xiaoxi's arms were so soft that he had no strength at all, so he washed his hands and face after listening to Changfeng's words, and went back to the kang to rest.

When Changfeng came back from washing the fruits in the spring pool at the corner of the valley, the creek was almost asleep in a daze.

Changfeng came in and saw Xiaoxi like this, but didn't wake her up, and retreated lightly by himself.

Little Candy didn't see her father beast for a long time, but now seeing Chang Feng who was giving her fruit, she also opened her arms happily, asking Chang Feng to hug her.

Qing Cang, whose attention was robbed, stretched out his hand and scratched Xiao Candy's nose, "Little heartless, I just fed you the egg custard, now I turn around and don't recognize anyone."

Xiaoxi slept until dinner at night, only to be woken up softly by the wind.

Maybe it was really tired. After eating, after taking a walk around to digest food after dinner, Xiaoxi yawned again and got on the kang, and fell asleep after a while.

Seeing that Xiaoxi was so tired, Changfeng fetched warm water, took a cloth towel, gently wiped her face, and washed Xiaoxi's feet by the way.

The next day, after Xiaoxi got up and had a meal, he trimmed the body that had been dried in the shade, so that the circumference of the body was uniform...

Then put it in the kiln and set it up to start firing. After about a day and night, when the kiln was ready to be released, only one of the five jars fired was intact, and the remaining four jars and the two hearths were of varying degrees. cracking and deformation.

There is another one that is intact and not deformed, which is the crooked thing that Xiao Fengyuan squeezed.

The little guy was very happy to see that the one he pinched was not burned.

The first firing was unsuccessful. Although Xiaoxi was disappointed, she was not discouraged. After her unremitting efforts and experiments, she finally fired a pottery with a integrity of [-]% to [-]% in the fifth time. .

Xiaoxi is already very satisfied to be able to fire like this. After all, he is not a professional pottery maker, and it is impossible to burn a kiln of complete and beautiful pottery.

What she pursued from the very beginning was practicality, not some fine utensils.
