Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Success
After having roasted meat for lunch, Su Tang was impatient to quickly make the pots, bowls, and spoons!
Then she would go into the forest to find some wild vegetables to boil and eat. After eating roast meat for so many consecutive days here, she was constipated!
After taking a round in the cave, she found that most of the mud embryos were well preserved, only a few pottery bowls and a firewood pot near the cave entrance had cracks!
They could not be left to dry any longer, otherwise, they would all be burnt at that time!
Hurriedly, she called over Hongguo, asking her to arrange for a few Beastmen to help move these unburnt pottery mud embryos over to the kiln.
This move immediately attracted the attention of the vast majority of the Beastmen in the Tribe.
"This is pottery? It’s clearly dirt!"
"No, the saintess said it has to be fired!"
"Uh-huh, I saw it all. The Tribal Chief dug it up himself! It’s just on the southern hillside!"
"Really? Let’s go and take a look!"
One led to ten, ten led to a hundred, and, in a short while, the Beastmen left in the tribe all gathered on the southern hillside.
Su Tang commanded the Beastmen to carefully place the Mud Embryos into the Kiln Cave, and then seal the entrance with large rocks!
Fanning the flames from below, the heat slowly spread through the channel previously prepared by Gaiyin and filled the entire Kiln Cave!
Su Tang glanced at the Beastmen gathered here and felt a bit nervous!
Whether kneading the mud embryo or digging the Kiln Cave, both were done according to the System’s explanations, but after all, this was the first time trying, it was uncertain whether it would be successful!
Gaiyin had taken a small squad of warriors to the forest for hunting, while Yadang had intentionally stayed behind.
Although he had personally seen the kneaded mud embryos and had also participated in the digging of the Kiln Cave, he could not rest easy until he saw the pottery.
Not only Su Tang was nervous, the entire Beastmen of the Winged Tiger Tribe were nervous!
Under the watchful eyes of all these Beastmen, the first batch of pottery was fired successfully!
The moment the large boulders were removed, a puff of white mist floated out, mixed with an indefinable smell. Su Tang felt somewhat excited because it was the smell of pottery.
The temperature inside was very high now, it was crucial not to be impatient. Only after the mist cleared and after waiting a long while, did she let the Beastmen go in.
The first thing to be brought out was a ceramic firewood pot. Su Tang examined it closely!
The earthen-colored pottery pot, after being fired at high temperature, had a somewhat frosted exterior and felt somewhat rough to the touch.
Some areas were glazed with a deep brown color, and the surface of the glaze was considerably smoother!
Also, no cracks or underfired areas were detected. Su Tang tapped the body of the pot with her hand, producing a dull ’dong dong’ sound.
Finally, Su Tang smiled. Indeed, it was the sound made by a pottery pot. It seemed like the attempt had been successful!
The Beastmen were quite observant. The moment Su Tang smiled, everyone couldn’t help but cheer and jump for joy!
Two more Beastmen came out from the Kiln Cave, holding several earthen-coloured small pottery bowls and spoons.
However, a few of them had broken in half, which was such a pity!
Su Tang understood that differences in placement time and kneading techniques could lead to cracks in the pottery during firing, which was a common phenomenon!
The first batch included a ceramic firewood pot, two pottery jars, and fifteen bowls and spoons! This was already quite an achievement!
Yadang walked up with a complicated expression and said, "It really is pottery. Keep on firing, strive to let all the Beastmen in the tribe have them!"
