One hundred yuan to survive: this anchor has a conscience but not much

Chapter 315

When rolling mud strips, it is not difficult to make them neat, smooth and of the same thickness.

Even if you can't do it as quickly as Lu Chen, you can just rub it for a while longer.

But when it comes to coiling mud strips, the clay strips are not so obedient. If you don't do it right, they will become crooked.

It’s not easy to tell, but there are also gaps in the middle.

Of course, it's not possible to have a leaky plate. If it's a failed product like that, it can only be redone.

"Practice makes perfect."

"You can be like me if you do more."

Lu Chen comforted Qin Shou.

"Hey, let me try again."

Qin Shou sighed.

Lu Chen didn't rub it with Qin Shou. He found an old dead tree nearby.

He chopped down the old tree, took out a thick trunk and dragged it back, then chopped it with an ax and trimmed it into the desired shape.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing?"

Qin Shou asked curiously.

"Be a tool for making pottery."

"This thing is called a fast wheel. I wonder if you have heard of fast wheel drawing."

Lu Chen asked back.

"I've heard of it. The pottery shop I saw before seemed to use this method."

Qin Shou thought for a while and said.

"Well, this method makes pottery faster."

"The old master can make a pottery in just a few minutes."

"Although the finished products made by the fast wheel are not as beautiful as the slow wheel, this method is fast enough and is very convenient for making daily necessities."

Lu Chen had already finished the prototype of the fast wheel and was currently undergoing further modifications.

What he made was relatively simple. After all, the conditions on the desert island were limited and he didn't have high requirements. As long as the thing could be used normally.

Qin Shou slowly made the plate using the clay plate making method. When he made the fifth plate, Lu Chen's tools were also ready.

Lu Chen used a newly made stone shovel to dig a long and slender hole in the ground, and placed the lower part of the fast wheel for drawing into it.

On the ground, only a large disc and a small disc on top were left.

There was a hole in the center of the disk. Lu Chen found another wooden stick of suitable thickness, trimmed its surface to a smoother state, and inserted it into the hole in the center of the disk.

The wooden stick is slightly thinner than the hole, and is inserted diagonally there.

Then, Lu Chen took out a ball of blank material and formed it into a cylindrical shape.

"Brother Lu, are you about to start doing this?"

"What do you plan to do, is it also to make a pottery plate?"

"Is this the fast wheel used for drawing embryos? This one is different from the ones I saw in the pottery store. It is much larger."

Qin Shou asked curiously.

"Well, I'm going to start too."

"I'll make a few clay pots. Once they're done, they can be used to make soup or hold other things."

"Although the clay strip construction method can also be used to make clay pots, it will be a little slower."

"The fast wheel drawing method is more efficient."

"My tool is relatively simple and relatively old."

"The modern fast-wheel drawing technology is very mature, and the tools have been improved many times. It is normal for it to be different from mine."

Lu Chen plans to draw the embryo by hand.

Otherwise, the pottery pot will be larger and it will take too long to build using the mud strip method.

Lu Chen's hand speed was pretty good, but Qin Shou had never been exposed to these things. It might take half a day to make a clay pot.

Their conditions are limited and the methods they use are relatively old, so the failure rate is inherently higher.

So things have to be made more often, so that even if part of it fails, there will still be some finished product.

If you want to produce in large quantities, you naturally have to adopt a more time-saving method.

"Brother Lu, you know so much."

"Ceramic making is such an unorthodox craft, and you actually know more than one method."

Qin Shou smacked his tongue and was even more impressed.

"Small idea."

Lu Chen said nonchalantly.Lu Chen sat on the small bench and placed the cylindrical clay on the small disk on top of the fast wheel.

Then he would kick the big disc underneath with his feet from time to time, and both discs would spin rapidly.

As the disk rotated, Lu Chen's hands moved flexibly.

The small wooden stick in the center always maintained a stable position under the movement of his fingers.

The cylindrical lump of clay quickly changed its shape.

The original lump of clay began to spread around on the rapidly rotating wheel.

Then, under Lu Chen's flexible operation, it quickly turned into a hollow cylinder with thin top and bottom and thick middle.

In just a few minutes, a smooth and round clay pot took shape.

"Cow!"

"It's a miracle that a clay pot can be made so quickly."

Qin Shou's eyes widened and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Thanks to the wisdom of the ancients, we have such easy-to-use tools and can make pottery so quickly."

Lu Chen didn't take any credit.

The prototype of the clay pot had already come out, but Lu Chen kept moving his hands. He held a piece of bamboo in his left hand and scraped it dexterously.

Soon, a smooth and beautiful clay pot was ready.

"Don't be modest. It's true that tools are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, but Brother Lu, you have nothing to say about your craftsmanship."

"This clay jar is smooth and neat, with a fine texture. This is all your fault."

"How can ordinary people do it so smoothly and so beautifully?"

Qin Shou praised him sincerely.

"Your flattery skills are getting better and better."

Lu Chen laughed.

"How can this be flattery? They are all true."

“Brother Lu’s craftsmanship is unparalleled!”

Qin Shou grinned and gave a thumbs up.

The two continued to produce, and their division of labor was clear.

Qin Shou made pottery plates and lids for pottery pots, while Lu Chen made pottery pots and pottery bowls.

After Lin Zongzong made dozens of pottery vessels, they stopped.

"The prepared embryo needs to be placed in a ventilated and dry place to dry."

"Put the pottery over there to dry first."

Lu Chen stood up and pointed in the direction near the cliff.

He spread out the finished pottery one by one so that they could be ventilated and dried better.

The cliff is located high and has long-term wind flow.

Near the cliff, the wind was almost constant.

Although it is a little colder, it is absolutely ventilated and the pottery is placed in the right direction.

Qin Shou also joined Lu Chen. After a while, a pile of pottery was neatly arranged, just waiting to be dried by the wind.

"Isn't it difficult to make pottery? We can make so much in one afternoon."

Qin Shou felt full of achievement and crossed his arms proudly.

So many things are the fruits of their labor.

There are so many contestants, maybe they are the only ones who have the ability to make pottery. The more Qin Shou thought about it, the more proud he became.

"Making pottery is not difficult for those who know it, but it is difficult for those who don't know how to do it."

"Life is so lonely as snow~"

Lu Chen opened his arms and looked up to the sky with a sigh.

The noisy look made the audience in the live broadcast room feel itchy.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Waiting here for the pottery to dry?"

Qin Shou asked while gnashing his teeth.

"Dig a hole."

Lu Chen clasped his hands behind his back, looking relaxed.
