Chapter 311 Making Pottery
"No, I've seen a shop that can make pottery, but I haven't tried it."

Qin Shou scratched his head.

Nowadays, there are many scenic spots and places where you can make pottery.

There are all kinds of things there, and for a small amount of money, you can make your own pottery by borrowing the tools and materials from the store.

But Qin Shou was not good at this kind of meticulous craftsmanship, and he was not very interested in this thing, so naturally he never tried it.

"What? Are we going to make pottery?"

Qin Shou asked with interest.

He really wanted to try something like this that he had never been exposed to before to see what kind of experience it was like.

"Well, make some clay pots and bowls or something."

Lu Chen nodded.

His tone was calm, as if this was not a difficult matter.

"How to do this thing?"

Qin Shou knew nothing about this.

But looking at Lu Chen's determined look, he also had some confidence.

[Are you kidding me? Is it possible to make pottery under those conditions?Lu Chen had stayed on the desert island for a long time, and he really thought he could do anything. ]
[It’s funny, after fans have been touting you for a long time, they feel like you are really a god.It sounds so easy, but it will be slapped in the face soon. ]
[If your mouth smells bad upstairs, go wash it off!I haven’t started yet, let’s put this aside.I believe that Lu Chen will not act without aim. Since he said so, he will definitely find a way. ]
[I am a fan of Lu Chen, but I am skeptical about this matter for the time being.I have made pottery before, and the other steps of making pottery are easy to explain, but firing is not easy.Given the conditions on a desert island, the temperature required for pottery firing should not be reached. ]
[The person above is right, pottery must be fired at a sufficient temperature.High temperature pottery needs to be fired at 1200-1235 degrees for about 8 hours.Low-temperature pottery is fired successfully at 700-900 degrees in 4 hours.Lu Chen and the others usually only use firewood to light fires. The temperature of firewood burning in the air is usually 500-800 degrees, which is far from the temperature required for firing pottery. ]
[Not only is the temperature difficult to reach, but even if it is reached, how can they maintain it?Firing pottery takes a long time, and the temperature must remain stable during the firing, otherwise it will crack and lose its shape. ]
[Waiting for a slap in the face, I have a lot to say, but I will definitely fail. ]
[It is indeed difficult to make pottery on a desert island, but can you please read it? Maybe Lu Chen really has a solution? ]

[Yes, why are everyone so angry?Even if he fails, it doesn't matter. Lu Chen is pretty good at knowing the detailed steps of making pottery. Anyway, I just like him. ]
The live broadcast room was full of doubts, but some fans also came out to speak for Lu Chen.

Just understand that people have already said the situation is almost the same. Firing pottery is really not an easy task.

Some fans were in a wait-and-see mode and did not speak, and most of the fans who spoke for Lu Chen did not dare to speak too fully.

After all, they were not sure whether Lu Chen could do it.

"Our conditions are limited and things are not that complete."

"So before making pottery, let's make some preparations."

"Didn't I bring some shells back to the beach a few times ago? Now those shells can come in handy."

"Let's grind the shells into powder first."

Lu Chen took out the shells he had collected previously.

A few beautiful shells were hung in the house as decorations.

The remaining shells were cleaned, dried and put away in sacks.

"Okay, but what is the shell powder used for?"

“I know pottery requires clay, but do you also need shell powder?”

Although Qin Shou followed the instructions, he still had some questions.

The two cracked the shells with stones and then ground them bit by bit.

Grinding is very simple, just use a hard stone as a tool.

"The main raw materials of ceramics are clay, quartz, feldspar and so on."

"But we only have clay and no other things, so we use shell powder instead."

"Clay will stick to your fingers when mixed with water. Adding shell powder will make it better."

"In addition, when pottery is being fired, water is more likely to leak out. Shell powder can make the texture of the pottery slightly looser, making it less likely to break."

Lu Chen explained carefully.

Under limited conditions, those things that are not available can only be replaced with other materials.

For them, the island is surrounded by sea and shells are easy to come by.

So using this as a material is naturally perfect.

"understood."

"Brother Lu, you know so much." Qin Shou didn't know Mingli.

This was the first time he knew that shell powder had such uses.

The two of them grinded the shells, grinding them into extremely fine powder.

The ground shell powder is placed in a dry coconut shell, and several coconut shells are filled before stopping.

"I saw that there were a lot of shells before, but they were used up very quickly."

Qin Shou looked at the empty sack and sighed.

They had collected a sack full before, but now they have used it all.

"It's a small problem, it's not just some shells."

"Is it an island? It lacks everything but shells."

"As long as we are willing to pick it up, we can pick up a few sacks at will."

Lu Chen looked indifferent.

"Yeah, the beach is full of shells."

"We have finished the shell powder, what should we do next?"

Qin Shou asked.

"Add water to the clay and roll it into strips."

Lu Chen went to get an aluminum bucket with some water.

"Made mud strips?"

Qin Shou picked his ears and suspected that he had heard wrongly.

“I’ve seen people making pottery in pottery shops before, but it doesn’t seem like this.”

Qin Shou said hesitantly.

Although he didn't understand it, it didn't stop him from seeing it.

He had never heard of this method of rolling clay strips to make pottery, let alone seeing it before.

"What kind of conditions do we have? You can compare them with those of a pottery shop."

"Did you see someone putting clay on a rotating table and then shaping the clay while the table was rotating rapidly?"

Lu Chen asked with a sideways glance.

"Yes."

Qin Shou nodded honestly.

"That's called a drawing machine, and most of them use electricity."

"Let's not talk about whether we can get a drawing machine, let's talk about energy."

"Where do you draw electricity and lightning?"

Lu Chen asked angrily.

Of course he knew that it was more convenient and faster to use a drawing machine to make pottery, but the problem was that they didn't have the conditions.

"Don't I understand?"

"Hehe, I will do whatever Brother Lu says."

"Isn't it just rubbing mud strips? It's a small problem. I'm good at this."

"For any boy who has never played in the mud when he was a child, I will definitely have no problem with this job."

"Speaking of which, I haven't played in mud for many years. I just want to rediscover the feeling of being a child and feel the joy of childhood."

Qin Shou patted his chest, happily rolled up his sleeves and planned to take action.
