Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Ceramics 3
In the afternoon, two beastmen helped to transport several baskets of yellow earth.
A lot of yellow earth is needed to make pottery pots. There are nine people in the cave, so it can’t really be said there is too much or too little yellow earth!
Out of the nine, five are older females. If the beastmen hadn’t helped, it would have taken those women a long time just to dig up the earth!
After preparing the mud balls, Su Tang chose a blob-bottomed pottery pot design from the system’s image examples. The design was somewhat similar to the pot that old Nike had made before!
But the difference was that this design had two handles on either side. This way, even without the help of beastmen, the females could also use the pot by themselves!
With the addition of utensils like soup spoons and strainers, it was simply a breeze!
"Everyone pay attention, make the base of the pottery pot a bit thicker. It needs to withstand fire, if it’s too thin, it will easily break. It’s very dangerous!"
With the experience of kneading pottery bowls before, everyone knew what to do.
But they would make the pot a bit larger, and the mud balls would always become too soft to hold the shape. If they hardened the mud balls a bit, it would easily crack!
So they experimented for a long time before they could shape an appropriate mud ball into a pottery pot.
That pot was also not very big. The space inside was too small, and it definitely wasn’t enough for the beastmen!
Because of this, Su Tang was frustrated for a while, but when she saw the example of firewood pot in the system, she felt enlightened!
The firewood pot is easy to make and large in volume. It can be used to make soup, cook rice, and stir-fry!
It’s simply omnipotent!
When the time comes, she would tell the beastmen to make a suitable stove and put the firewood pot on it. It would be a kitchen necessity!
Su Tang immediately shared this new idea with everyone, receiving unanimous agreement!
After trying, they found that making the firewood pot was indeed much simpler than pottery pots!
So, in the afternoon, more than ten large firewood pots were displayed in the cave!
At that time, there was no room left in the cave. The ground was filled with mud embryos, which was a pleasing sight!
Liu Ye stood up, looking joyful towards Su Tang, "Are we going to continue kneading clay tomorrow?"
Su Tang shook her head, "No, let these mud embryos dry tonight and tomorrow morning. Tomorrow afternoon, we’ll start firing!"
Qing Guo also asked curiously, "How to fire? Do we use fire directly?"
Su Tang shook her head with a smile, "Of course not, pottery firing requires a special kiln. They need to be put inside the kiln for firing!"
Aunt An slowly took over, "But... our tribe... does not have the kiln you mentioned..."
"I know, so tomorrow morning, I’ll ask Aunt Hongguo to assign me two beastmen, and I’ll tell them how to dig a kiln!"
Aunt An nodded in satisfaction, "Good, good, we older females really like your chestnut stewed big bones. If it succeeds, we must have one of those firewood pots!"
Su Tang smiled sweetly, "Don’t worry, everyone! If the firewood pot really works out, I will make a lot more delicious food! Enough for you all to enjoy!"
Yuanyuan, blinking her bright and clear eyes, moved closer to Su Tang, "Tangtang! You can’t forget me! I also want to eat the delicious food you cook!"
Su Tang nodded vigorously, "Don’t worry! I won’t forget anyone! When the time comes, I’ll teach you all. If you want to eat, you can also make it yourselves!"
Yuanyuan gave Su Tang a big hug with her waving arms, "Thank you, Tangtang!"
