Desert Island: Lucky I was broadcast live

Chapter 101
After happily eating a roasted whole chicken by the stream at the foot of the mountain, Hu Xuan, who was full, began to look at this place.

This is a wild and open environment, and at the foot of the mountain, even if there is smoke rising, it will not be surprising.

At most, others would think it was the fog in the mountains, or the smoke from a wildfire somewhere.

This is a very normal natural landscape, and it will not arouse suspicion.

It is still noon, if the speed is faster, the kiln can be completed today.

Then put the utensils made of clay into the kiln, and soon you can get the fired pottery.

Hu Xuan cleared out a circular piece of ground, and began to dig a pit with an engineering shovel.

Ever since he received the five-fold improvement in physical fitness from the system, Hu Xuan felt that he could move like the wind.

Not only is my movement much more agile, but I also feel that my strength has also increased.If it was in the past, Hu Xuan would have sore hands when he shoveled down.

After all, modern people are generally sub-healthy and have not exercised all year round, so they are not used to doing such strenuous work.

But now it is not only easy to dig the ground, but also not easy to feel tired. In about half an hour, the foundation of an earthen kiln has been dug.

Then Hu Xuan separated a piece from the excavated soil, combined with the stream water to knead the lump of soil like kneading dough.

This kind of soil is very viscous. He flattened the whole piece of soil and made it into the shape of a dough cake, but it was several times larger than the dough cake, and the size was about the same as a manhole cover.

Then he poked a few air holes with his fingers, and then adjusted the size of each hole, trying to keep each shape similar.

The completed utensil looks similar to the surface of honeycomb coal, and the hole in the middle increases the contact area with oxygen to speed up the firing process.

Then Hu Xuan collected some dead grass, mixed soil and stream water, spread it to the bottom of the dug pit and stirred it all together.

A hole for ventilation was opened in a nearby place to connect the air in the hole and the outside, and it was also convenient for adding firewood.Just like the stove used for cooking in the countryside, finally fill the dug pit with wood and light it.

Put something like a well cover with holes made before on top of the dug earth pit, and soon the smoke of the flame will rise from the hole.

Then, with the circular "well cover" as the center, a hollow cylinder in the middle was piled up layer by layer with mud like a clay pot.

Such a simple kiln has been made, and the next step is to go back to get the finished utensils, which are already air-dried by this time.

"?? What kind of operation is this?"

"It's like making a kiln."

"It should be to burn something."

"I see, roast whole lamb!"

"? Just remember to eat."

"This is obviously not for cooking food."

There were different opinions in the barrage. Some people guessed that Hu Xuan was going to use it for barbecue, but it was quickly refuted by a group of people.

In fact, kiln making is not a popular skill. If you are not a professional, few people have common sense in this area.

Even Hu Xuan, if it wasn't for the system's gift of pottery-making skills, he wouldn't have thought of this point.

After the kiln is made, the pottery has to be made before dark.So Hu Xuan greeted Xiao Ai, and the two walked back to the hot spring cave to get the clay utensils they had made with Qin Shishi.

There was no one in the cave anymore, presumably Qin Shishi had finished soaking in the hot spring and left on her own.

Hu Xuan checked the several clay utensils they finished in the morning, and they were all dried, so he put these utensils on Xiao Ai's back again, and returned to the front of the kiln where they had made them.

At this time, the fire in the kiln has already started to burn, but it is still a little short of the temperature for making pottery.

Hu Xuan carefully stuffed the clay utensils into the kiln, then found a few relatively thin stone slabs, and covered the kiln.

Then he began to add firewood patiently and adjust the fire.

"Who can tell me why he can even make pottery?"

"What does he want pottery for?"

"Pottery can do many things."

"You can imagine what it's like to eat without a bowl."

"Damn, once you said it, I immediately felt it was necessary."

Huaxia hostess Lin Yan has been hosting this show for so long, and this is the first time I have seen someone who can live such a comfortable life in the wilderness.

There is still room to build a kiln to make pottery?Many people can't even find a place to live, and they are still sleeping in the open!

And for things like pottery, theoretical knowledge alone is not enough.

If the fire is not well controlled, or the quality of the clay is too poor, good pottery cannot be fired.

In short, it requires a lot of experience and practice, but from Hu Xuan's information, he has been living in the city before, where did he learn how to make pottery?
Even if you have read a few books before coming here and have theoretical knowledge, can you be so proficient in the first practice?
The two hosts of Huaxia looked at each other, and they both read the shock in each other's eyes.

Maybe this boy named Hu Xuan will really break their cognition, and it may not be certain to persist until the end.

Not only the hosts, from being ridiculed at the beginning to gradually gaining voices of support, Hu Xuan is gradually changing the minds of everyone watching this show.
-
Due to the relatively high temperature requirements for pottery making, Hu Xuan needs to keep abreast of the heat.

Fortunately, Xiao Ai has been staying by his side very quietly, and the animals are very alert, so he can remind Hu Xuan in time of any danger, so that he can work with peace of mind.

The blazing fire was tumbling in the kiln, constantly hammering the pottery.Hu Xuan estimated that the time was almost up, so he extinguished the fire in the kiln.

After the temperature dropped, Hu Xuan lifted the slate, and the gray clay-like vessel had turned into a dull orange color, and the surface became very smooth compared with the previous clay.

Tapped with your fingers, it feels firm and shaped.Sure enough, it worked!

Hu Xuan picked up a clay pot and filled a pot of water by the stream to test it. It did not leak and the pot was intact.

Put it on the ground, it is almost stable, and the water inside will not be spilled at all.

I have to say that Qin Shishi's hands are really skillful, and Hu Xuan is very satisfied with the finished pottery.

With these storage jars, not only can you marinate meat and vegetables, but you can also store fresh water.

On this deserted island, having food stock means an extra chance of survival.

Hu Xuan remembered the sea salt he had made before. It should be a good way to marinate some meat with sea salt and store it.

I don't know if those coconut shells that store sea salt are still available, but it doesn't matter if you can't find them, just make them again.

The problem of food storage was temporarily solved. Hu Xuan thought on the way back to the hot spring cave. Although it is possible to live in the hot spring cave, it is not a long-term solution after all.

Moreover, the light in the cave is dim and there is no sunlight, which will damage the eyesight if it goes on for a long time.

He remembered the basic carpentry buildings given away by the system, and began to think about how to build a log cabin next to the hot spring.
