Could it be that Ye Xuan had to mix a variety of mud ingredients together? !

But how is this possible?
You know, the ceramic mud itself can only show a single color.

Whether it is Tang Sancai or colored porcelain in the past, they all illustrate a fact.

In order to achieve a colorful effect on ceramics, the ceramics have to be glazed.

But whether it is underglaze color, overglaze color, or even in-glaze color, it is all processed on the surface of the ceramic body.

How can you directly mix two different colors of clay?
Among them, the student in the live broadcast room who claimed to be a ceramics major had already pointed out the difficulty of mixing mud.

"Different mud materials have different expansion coefficients at high temperatures. If mud materials with different mud properties are mixed together, they will definitely collapse!"

Seeing professionals speaking like this, netizens in the live broadcast room also suddenly realized.

"Really, I think back to the history classes I took in high school. It first developed from earthenware to painted pottery, then primitive porcelain, and later developed into painted porcelain... all of which were painted on the surface!"

"I understand, doesn't that mean that Ye Xuan's method of mixing the two mud materials is not advisable at all?!"

"It's over, it's over. What did I just say? Don't use your own interests to challenge other people's majors. Ye Xuan is clearly seeking his own destruction, right?"

"I think Ye Xuan has also exhausted his talents. He probably wants to innovate, but he doesn't know at all. It's not that he hasn't developed it now, it's because the way he wants to innovate has been helped by his predecessors..."

"No, no, no, I still believe in Ye Xuan!"

"Yes, yes, maybe Ye Xuan can give us all a surprise! I bet that Ye Xuan can succeed. If you want to join, please add vx. The odds are not high at the moment..."

……

The barrage in the live broadcast room has developed in several directions without even realizing it.

After experiencing surprises again and again, many netizens have long become loyal fans of Ye Xuan.

Even in the field of ceramics, which Ye Xuan has never adjusted, these fans are still full of confidence in Ye Xuan, and the filters are not unthick.

God has already added so many skill points to Ye Xuan, why not add another ceramic proficiency?
Compared with these netizens who pat their chests and have no doubts about Ye Xuan, there are also many netizens who just feel that there is a mountain between them and have doubts about Ye Xuan.

After all, Ye Xuan has already blossomed in many fields such as hunting, construction, and planting.

Even a genius cannot be omnipotent, right?

There were also some netizens who watched secretly, obviously watching Ye Xuan's follow-up.

The barrage was still flashing across the screen, but Ye Xuan couldn't care less at the moment.

He was busy processing the clay he found earlier.

"Let's start with the red mud. This kind of soil is reddish-brown because it is rich in iron oxide."

"Red mud has high viscosity, few impurities, and strong plasticity, making it very suitable for use as a carcass."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan began to use a hammer to smash the red clay blocks he found earlier one by one.

"In the past when we were making earthen kilns, we could use the clay as we pleased. But this time when we are making ceramics, we must treat it carefully..."

Listening to Ye Xuan's narration, netizens in the live broadcast room saw that the originally lumpy soil was gradually broken into pieces by Ye Xuan.

Until the mud was broken into slag, Ye Xuan poured the broken soil into the bucket, added water, and mixed it into mud.

"Not all soil can be used to make ceramics. Making ceramics often requires the use of specific raw materials. This step is just the starting point."

After giving the netizens a lot of trouble, Ye Xuan turned around and went back to the sleeping room.

When he came out, he had several heavy white woven bags in his left hand, and several glass bottles containing unknown white powder in his right hand.

"This looks quite mysterious!" "What's in the bag and bottle?"

Just when netizens were curious, the previous professionals continued to bubble up.

"Yes, it is not easy to make clay into ceramics. It must have plasticity and be able to deform under the action of external force without cracking. It also needs binding properties to keep the soil particles together and not break apart."

While the netizens in the live broadcast room were sharing knowledge with each other, Ye Xuan under the camera was already unpacking bags, flipping lids, and adding various additives one by one.

"In order to increase the strength and stability of clay, a portion of alkali surface, quartz powder, feldspar powder must be added..."

These were all obtained by Ye Xuan last night from the villagers who worked as contractors in the village, just for today's clay production.

Secretly thanking the fellow villagers in his heart, Ye Xuan's hands were not idle at all. After stirring the mud evenly, he took out the sieve and started filtering it.

"This step of filtration is essential. Although the red mud has very few impurities, it still cannot meet the requirements of ceramics."

"Filtering it several times will not only remove the original tiny impurities and rough particles, but also make the mud more delicate..."

Seeing that Ye Xuan spoke clearly and eloquently, the netizens in the live broadcast room also watched with gusto.

The netizens who were originally on Ye Xuan's side straightened their chests more and more, and even the barrage showed a hint of pride, as if to say——

Look, look, I knew he could!

Netizens who had previously been dubious about Ye Xuan now began to waver.

Maybe Ye Xuan can really do it?

At this moment, the netizen who initially claimed to be a ceramics major was also secretly surprised by Ye Xuan's skillful movements.

"Huh? Ye Xuan is quite skilled at making clay?"

However, after being surprised for a while, this netizen continued to raise the flag that mixing materials was not advisable and started the persuasion mode.

"Ye Xuan should give up. There is no future for mixing various mud materials together..."

Obviously, in the knowledge of this ceramics professional netizen, there has never been a ceramic made of a mixture of various mud materials.

Just as netizens were flooding the screen, Ye Xuan also began to filter the mud multiple times.

While waiting for the mud to settle naturally, he repeated the previous operations one by one and continued to make white clay and brown clay.

As the various types of muddy water were allowed to stand and stratified, Ye Xuan poured out the muddy water one by one, leaving only the moist clay, which he spread out on the ground of the small courtyard one by one, allowing it to dry naturally.
A few hours passed quickly, and the water in the clay mud of different colors gradually dried up and solidified.

Knead the clay of the same color into a lump again and place it on the desk for ready use. Ye Xuan continued to introduce it to the netizens in the live broadcast room.

"Just now is the first step of making mud, and then we will start the second step of color matching and kneading the mud."

The so-called color-matching clay is a process in which white clay and colored clay are stacked together in different proportions and twisted and beaten into different colors.

This link directly determines the pattern and color of the tread pattern, which is very important.

Seeing that the number of people online in the live broadcast room remained high, Ye Xuan also talked about the first ceramic he planned to make.

"Then, let's use mud to start weaving the flowers by hand."

As soon as the simple words came out, netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but doubt their own ears.

Hand braided flowers? !
