Traveling through ancient times: the wild boss spoils the sky

Chapter 43 Burning Pottery
The next day, Qiao Ya came to the stove where the pottery was made. The fire from yesterday had been extinguished, and the whole stove was cold. She took a wooden stick and knocked off the corners of the simple stove, and then The upper layer was removed to reveal the situation below.

When a reflective brown was revealed, the corner of Qiao Ya's mouth twitched into a faint smile.

It seems to be able to succeed.

Sure enough, when the stove was completely opened, the contents inside were exposed.

Although there is only one intact pottery bowl, and the rest are broken, it also means that the mud by the river can indeed make pottery, which is easy to handle. All she made yesterday were small things, but on the contrary, all she needed It's a big piece.

Obviously, relying on her alone is not enough, it has to rely on the strength of everyone in the village.

After washing the cooked pottery bowls, Qiao Ya didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she ran to Mei's house. Fortunately, she was fast, and Mei hadn't left the house yet.

"Hey, what are you holding in your hand?"

Although Mei could tell at a glance that Qiao Ya was holding something similar to a wooden bowl, but she couldn't tell from the material.

Although the pottery bowls made by Qiao Ya are not very beautiful to speak of, compared with wooden bowls and stone bowls, they still give people a pleasant surprise at first glance, because they are fired and baked by the fire. There is a relatively thin layer of glaze.

It may be due to the material or the heat. This layer of glaze is not transparent and not bright, but it still feels good to the touch. It is more attractive than those pickle jars without glaze.

"Hey, this is the little thing I made with those little guys yesterday. I burned the inside of it, and then it became like this. Auntie, don't you think it's very beautiful?"

Qiao Ya pretended not to understand, showing off a coincidence.

"Those little things you squeezed yesterday? Burn them with fire?"

Mei was playing with the pottery bowl, and looked at Qiao Ya with a strange look in her eyes.

Who is okay, put the pinched mud in the fire and burn it?
So, you are still a child?
However, I didn't expect such a good effect.

As soon as Mei was thinking about it, Qiao Ya said: "Auntie, I think this bowl is very beautiful, and it is much better than wooden bowls and stone bowls. After soaking in water for a long time, it will not leak or deform, or have insects. There were stone chips, so I wondered if I could knead mud into a big jar and burn it out, which could be used to hold water, vegetables, purple fruits, and even jam."

"Besides, I found that using a burnt pot for cooking is much easier than using stones. Although it cracked in the end, I want to think about it more, and it should be possible to improve it."

Although this matter is a lie, the effect of Taoguo is indeed better than that of stone pot. She has seen this from Xingwang. It is definitely not wrong. Since there are better ones, why can't they use better ones.

If you use a clay pot, you don't have to worry about eating a big stone when you eat in the future.

"Aren't there wooden barrels and stone jars? Why bother?"

Mei didn't understand why they had to get other things that they already had. There were many woods and stones in the forest, and the orcs could easily make all kinds of things they needed with their sharp claws.

There is really no need to knead the mud again, and use fire to burn the utensils, right?
"Since there are better ones, why not use better ones?"

Qiao Ya also didn't understand Mei's heart, in her opinion, isn't this normal.

"However, if you want to put it that way, you must need a lot of wood to make a fire. With so much wood, you can make a lot of wooden bowls and barrels."

Although the clay bowl in my hand, which is said to be fired, does look good and feels good to the touch, but they are all utensils for rice, so there is not much difference.

As she said, not only mud but also wood is needed to make a fire. How much wood do you have to burn?

Joe also needs to get a big tank, which will be more troublesome. Instead, it’s better to get a big rock on the mountain and let the orc claws dig it a few times. , can also be more polished.

The worst thing is to choose better materials, so why bother.

"There are many trees on our mountain that have very good wood, and some stones are also very good, and the things made can be used for a long time."

"For example, the wooden barrels used to store fruits and vegetables in our village, the stone hills used to store water, and the large wooden barrels used to make jam are all good wood and stones specially obtained from deep mountains. In the past, the village head specially asked the old people in the village to make it, but it took a lot of effort to polish it."

Mei sighed, and popularized it to Qiao Ya, "It's not that there are no such good things in the village."

For example, the wooden guns used by orcs for hunting and the stone knives used for chopping wood are all made of relatively hard materials, which cannot be polished by ordinary orcs.

For those things, without a month or two of work, good tools can't be produced at all.

Besides, Joe also said that this thing would crack, and it wouldn't be as useful as wood and stone.

It is really unnecessary to burn it specially.

Hearing what Mei said, Qiao Ya remembered the things that he subconsciously ignored, that is, the beastman's weapons that were obviously made of wood, but the quality was no worse than iron, and some knives and the like.

It seems that as Mei said, it's not that there are no good things in the village, it's just that it takes a lot of work to get those things, so the orcs chose the simpler ones.

Not to mention that it is convenient to replace at any time, you can get a new one if you don’t like it, and you can also directly make materials according to your preferences and requirements, and the pottery I mentioned does not have much advantage.

Qiao Ya remembered that most of Mucun's property was stored in the village. Although there was already private ownership, generally speaking, it was still in the form of public ownership.

Whether it's hunting by orcs or gathering by females, the things obtained are collected first, and then the things that each family needs every day are distributed, and the excess will be stored in the warehouse of the village.

It is because there are not many things in the small family, so there is no need for her so-called big tank for storage, and naturally there is no need for utensils made of better materials.

And because she has a space, which can not only store things, but also form a small manor, which can realize self-production, so she needs better storage utensils for high-quality storage.

Only when something is common, individual behaviors and possessions will not appear weird, so she wants to ask Mei to turn the pottery-making into the whole village's business, and then directly benefit herself.

But if it can't be developed, it's not suitable for her to make some utensils secretly by herself, or directly burn pottery.

So what should she do with what she needs?
Do you want to ask me where there is good wood or good stone, and polish it yourself?

She also doesn't have sharp claws like an orc, maybe she can't even cut down the tree, but the stone can be transported back by space, but how to chisel it?
Qiao Ya suddenly felt embarrassed.

After Mei saw that she had finished speaking, Qiao Ya immediately looked disappointed and felt a little embarrassed. It's rare for a child to have something fun and make an achievement, but he was directly denied, so it's no wonder he was disappointed.

This child probably likes the burnt things very much, and they are indeed quite beautiful. Except for some waste of wood and labor, there is nothing else. If the child likes it, it is okay to burn some.

After thinking about it, he said, "If Xiao Qiao likes it, you can also burn some to see? I'll ask Chen to help you then."
