Chapter 63 Su Meng, can you?

Su Meng dug two pieces of clay in a row, soaked it with water as usual, picked out stones, branches, gravel and other impurities in the clay, and poured the clay on the pile of rocks outside the shed.

She's about to start making big dicks.

Su Meng sat cross-legged in front of a huge and flat stone. She took out the two small bowls she made earlier and placed them on the stone slab, with a look of reluctance in her eyes.

This is the first piece of pottery she made by herself after she came to this world.

But in the next second, she picked up a stone, smashed the small bowl severely, and crushed it into powder.

There is no way, the clay mixed with clinker can prevent the pottery from cracking when firing, and these two small bowls are the only ones in her hands that can be used as clinker.

A good knife should be used wisely, and her clinker is limited.

She is certain about the firing of the pottery bowls, and the pottery bowls are not urgently needed, so she just added some crushed leaves to the clay for making the pottery bowls to prevent cracking, and did not plan to add clinker.

As usual, she sprinkled a layer of plant ash on the slate, and then put the fist-sized mud ball on it, kneaded it repeatedly, and flattened it to make a mud cake with a uniform thickness and a diameter of about 50 centimeters.

This is making the chassis.

Then she started rubbing the mud strips, moving her hands from the center to the sides of the mud strips to keep the thickness of the mud strips as uniform as possible, because the thickness of the mud strips directly determines the thickness of the inner wall of the vessel.

After the first mud strip is formed, she then stacks the twisted mud strips on the chassis, one layer of mud strips and one layer of mud, and compacts them layer by layer with her hands, and at the same time smooths the gaps between the inner and outer walls with her fingers , to ensure that the inside of the vessel is smooth and impermeable, and the pottery will not have cracks when firing.

The method Su Meng used is the clay strip coiling method, which is a technique for making pottery vessels. It refers to the method of gradually coiling clay strips upwards on a flat clay base.

This technique is simple and requires no complicated tools, just enough patience.

"Mengmeng, we've finished making the clay bowl!" Du Jiayue squatted next to Su Meng holding the clay bowl she made as if offering a treasure, as if begging for praise, but she was quickly overwhelmed by Su Meng's actions. Attracted: "Huh? What are you doing?"

"I'm making a small water tank." Su Meng glanced at the clay bowl in Du Jiayue's hand, and took the time to praise: "You did a great job, do you want to try the advanced version?"

"Can I?" Du Jiayue's eyes lit up, her heart was beating fast.

Su Meng showed a bright smile: "I'll teach you."

Hearing this, the trio of coolies who were leaning on the chairs fishing for a while, got up, walked to Su Meng and squatted down, showing a smile uglier than crying.

Half an hour later, Su Meng got up again to dig the clay.

When she came back after digging and processing the clay, Su Xiang had already made a pot-bellied clay pot about 30 cm high, which looked similar to a kimchi jar.

"How is it?" Su Xiang raised his eyebrows at Su Meng, the young boy's immature face was full of complacency.

The corners of Su Meng's mouth turned up, and she rubbed Su Xiang's little head with her muddy hands, and praised with a bit of imperceptible mischief: "My brother is awesome!"

Su Xiang was so excited that his face was stained with a thin layer of heat. He shook his head vigorously, trying to avoid Su Meng's claws. If it wasn't for the unconcealable smile at the corner of his mouth, he would have been quite out of breath. appearance.

Zhang Lin, Bo Jing, and Du Jiayue looked at the two siblings playing together, and suddenly felt a sense of envy in their hearts.

To be honest, there was very little interaction between Su Meng and Su Xiang, but from some trivial things, one can still clearly feel the care and care between the two of them.

For example, Su Xiang would subconsciously consider Su Meng's taste first, and evenly share his share of food to her.

For example, Su Meng took a lot of things on herself, in order to be able to arrange some relatively easy jobs for Su Xiang in an upright manner.

Use your own hard work to stop other people's mouths.

"We can make more clay pots to store food." Su Meng suddenly thought that he hadn't eaten fried vegetables for a long time, so he paused and said, "You can also make a clay pot, so that we will have fried vegetables to eat in the future. Stew is not the same thing."

As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it seemed as if some strange door had been opened. Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, Bai Jing, and Du Jiayue started discussing each other sentence by sentence.

Su thought: "Let's make a frying pan too. You can fry lamb chops in the future. You also need ceramic plates for serving dishes."

Zhang Lin: "I think we can make a teapot and five teacups, so that we can drink tea and chat while we are resting, and increase the relationship between us."

Bo Jing: "Why don't we make some pickle jars, we can pickle wild vegetables, so that we can eat vegetables in winter."

Du Jiayue: "We can also make a charcoal stove, a pottery plate, and a mandarin duck basin, so that we can eat grilled fish and hot pot in the future."

Su Meng: "..."

After the discussion between the four of them, they looked at the silent Su Meng: "Mengmeng, is it okay?"

This is because the clay is not enough. After all, the clay was brought back by Su Meng. Although the distance is very close, the weight is still there.

Su Meng twitched the corner of her mouth: "There is a lot of clay around the camp, you can do whatever you want, as long as you are happy." Anyway, I am not the one who has worked hard.

She didn't say the last sentence, for fear of dampening the enthusiasm of the four of them.

"Yeah! That's great!" Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, Bai Jing, and Du Jiayue cheered, and began to discuss how many pottery to make.

Su thought: "You can't just make round pottery dishes, it's not innovative, and the arrangement is not good-looking."

Su Meng's heart: Hoho...Do you still remember that this is in the wilderness?It is good to have a plate, but also to have a design, why not go to the sky and stand side by side with the sun.

Zhang Lin: "Teapots and teacups must be available. Come at three o'clock, do twisting, and drink tea first~"

Su Meng: Want to rest?Dreaming, not rolling is not a Wilderness.

Bo Jing: "Yes, we can also make another salt shaker, life must be refined."

The discussion among the four was in full swing, and Su Meng felt that there was nothing to talk about.

According to the plan of Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, Bai Jing, and Du Jiayue, they really wished to replace all the things in the camp with pottery. This cannot be done overnight.

"By the way, after the show is over, can we take these pottery back as a souvenir?" Zhang Lin suddenly raised his head and asked seriously.

Su Meng never thought about this problem, because she and Su Xiang couldn't leave this planet.

But she still thought about it seriously, and replied with some hesitation: "It should be possible, the program team will not be so stingy."

"That's great. After the show is over, I'm going to move back some of the pottery that everyone made, as well as the chairs. Su Meng, is that okay?" Zhang Lin's picturesque and handsome face showed a slight dimple , his eyes seem to be full of stars.
