Chapter 71 Pottery
After tanning, the bubbles in the clay are basically pressed out, and the surface is very smooth. When cut with a dagger, the inside is very delicate without any bubbles.

Shi Nianqing showed the cross section to the audience: "A smooth cross section like this means that all the bubbles inside have been expelled. There will be no bubbles during firing, which would cause firing failure."

Shi Nianqing added water while kneading it. When the humidity was about right, he put the clay on the clay pulling machine. With his hands wet, Su Muge helped to turn it.

The yellow soil kept changing in Shi Nianqing's hands. As the machine rotated, Shi Nianqing performed magic, and a large bowl appeared in front of everyone.

The large bowl is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. I roughly compared it and it is about 30 cm wide, which is very suitable for holding soup.

The whole process was flawless, and a beautiful clay figure appeared in front of everyone.

Even Su Muge, who participated in the production, couldn't help but widen his eyes. He couldn't believe that ordinary mud could be turned into a handicraft.

"Slow down!" Shi Nianqing kept adjusting the shape of the bowl, using the bamboo strips he brought back to do detailed trimming.

The pottery that originally had lines on the outside gradually became smooth, and its original thickness gradually became thinner, becoming more artistic.

Shi Nianqing explained to the audience in the live broadcast room while performing the movements: "Everyone, if you want to try it yourself, you can start with something smaller and simpler. When you are finishing it, you can slow down the speed, otherwise it will easily fail."

When the machine slowly stopped, a beautiful large sea bowl appeared in front of the audience in the live broadcast room.

The shape is standard and the appearance is even and symmetrical, making it look like a work of art.

After Shi Nianqing finished, she also printed patterns on it with flowers and plants. After firing, the patterns on it will appear and become more beautiful.

Put the finished bowl in the room to dry in the shade, and then continue to make other pottery.

Shi Nianqing moved very quickly. Although Su Muge was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, the cooperation gradually became tacit.

The two worked together to make several large bowls, pottery jars and vases, as well as various tableware and pottery that could be used.

Especially the round pottery jars, there are more than twenty of them, and they look very spectacular when placed in the room.

The virtual camera in the air was diligently broadcasting the situation on Shi Nianqing's side.

The audience in the live broadcast room were almost stunned.

[Just like that, a work of art appeared. This hands-on ability is incredible.]

Is this the porcelain used by people in ancient times? Is it as beautiful as described in the literature?

[Can this really be used? I saw Sister Shi made quite a few. What are the round ones used for?]

[Can you give me one? I'm a student at Interstellar University and have a student ID.]

[The above is not too outrageous. I am willing to spend 10 yuan to buy one made by my sister. Can you sell me one? ]

[This is so beautiful! Dirty mud can actually create such a beautiful work of art. Sister Shi, are you the eternal god?]

[After Shi Nianqing's wilderness survival is over, can these things be sold? I'm willing to spend 100 million to buy all the pottery.]

【Reward Carnival ×100】

【Reward Carnival ×1000】

【Reward refill × 1314】

【Reward Little Stars×10,000】

……

The constant rewards on the screen increased the popularity of the live broadcast room, and Shi Nianqing exchanged points when the popularity was at its highest.

After Shi Nianqing finished her work, she saw the pottery carefully placed in the room, and she felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. Su Muge stood beside her, looking at Shi Nianqing with gentle eyes.

A creative woman.

Wu Xuan had finished his work by then, and when he looked over he was immediately shocked.

"Oh my god, Sister Shi, you must be the legendary God of Creation. You actually created so many things."

"With these things we can make a lot of delicious food, right?"

"Sister Shi, you are so amazing. I worship you!"

As he spoke, he cautiously moved closer and carefully observed each clay piece that had been made.

He even wanted to touch it with his hands, but before he could touch the clay pieces, Su Muge knocked them away with his hand.

"Be careful, it's not completely finalized yet. If you break it, I'll beat you to death."

When Wu Xuan heard this, he immediately withdrew his hand and looked at the beautiful pottery carefully.

"Isn't it ready yet? When can it be used?"

Shi Nianqing looked at the cautious Wu Xuan. There seemed to be stars shining in her beautiful eyes, and most importantly, she was looking at herself with admiration.

A sense of pride arose spontaneously, and I inexplicably felt that Wu Xuan looked adorable, just like the Samoyed at home.

He patted his dog's head and said cheerfully, "It needs to be dried in the shade for a while before firing. But before that, we need to make a simple firing furnace."

“These pottery pieces can only be used after they are fired.”

"Stove? What is that?" Wu Xuan opened his eyes wide with curiosity.

"If you want to make pottery successfully, you have to fire it at 750 to 1200 degrees Celsius, and you have to watch it for a long time, and you can't let the temperature drop. It takes about four hours to make these things usable."

After listening to this, Wu Xuan looked at the finished pottery and said, "Is it so troublesome? I thought it would be ready to use once it was made, but I'm increasingly looking forward to what the finished product will look like."

Shi Nianqing saw Wu Xuan's naive look and touched his head.

"Now let's start making the furnace. Let's make a larger three-way furnace. The three of us will fire it together and try to finish firing all the pottery by tomorrow."

Wu Xuan and Su Muge nodded, and at this moment they suddenly heard Su Muge's stomach rumbling.

Shi Nianqing then realized that the three of them had not eaten for a long time and would starve to death if they didn't eat something.

I simply made some fried bacon and celery, gave goat milk to the little tiger and the little leopard, and gave the black panther a piece of meat. I didn't know where the big tiger went, probably out hunting.

The animals and people at the shelter enjoyed themselves and were well fed and well-watered.

Shi Nianqing took them to the creek to dig soil, and by the way, he designed a three-way furnace with centralized temperature control in his mind.

This thing needs to be fixed with bamboo and a deep pit needs to be dug.

There was still a lot to do in the meantime. The backpacks of Shi Nianqing and the other two were covered with rotten mud, and when they returned they were carrying withered thatch.

After putting them all at the gate of the shelter, Wu Xuan and Su Muge went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo.

I tried my best. Most of the pottery making information is not very detailed. If you see any bugs, just pretend you didn't see them.

Love you guys! !
