Chapter 015 The pottery instance successfully opened

The so-called making up a lie requires countless lies to round up the lie. The moment when Xiao Yun uttered the lie, "My dead mother taught me to be a human", he had already conceived the next whitewashing routine in his mind, that is, regardless of others' beliefs. If you don't believe it, you should first make yourself the original owner and get the original owner's old mother to pass on the merits. He has solved the problem of his knowledge source and the inseparable relationship with the original owner. The original owner Ayun's reincarnation or the original owner is his reincarnation. It is always okay to explain the order as he throws it out. The so-called occultism means that there is no need to speak too clearly to leave room for fantasying.

What Xiao Yun never expected was...uncle Ashan finished crying, touched his head and walked out firmly, without in-depth communication at all for him to tell the lies and put the words into practice...　　

Xiao Yun: "..." You who should really cooperate with me turned a blind eye. Xiao Yun, with a dumb face, added firewood while wondering if there was something wrong with his performance. After thinking about it, Xiao Yun didn't realize that there was anything wrong... Ashan did exactly what he said, and seemed to believe Xiao. Yun's theory of "the dead mother taught me how to be a human", and still crying violently, there is no reason or reaction?　　

"Or, did he go to discuss with the wise men in the tribe, such as the patriarch?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Yun felt that maybe it was true, what the patriarch said he lived longer, and he was an elder trusted by clansmen like Ashan. Calm down, Xiao Yun calmed down and thought silently in his mind how this lie should continue to be perfected in order to fool the patriarch at one time, no risk and no flaws...　　

Squatting among the firewood with a bitter face and burning the firewood for all day, at night , Xiao Yun who thought he had made up the lie impeccably and logically, put on a combat stance and prepared to confront the patriarch who initiated the questioning, but unexpectedly... the patriarch, who had been working hard to build a brick for a day under his excitement, was too tired to straighten up. After eating the big pot of rice, I took a bath and climbed on the heatable bed.　　

Xiao Yun: "..." Silently looked at his uncle Ashan.　　

Uncle Ashan, who is about six or seven years older than him, gave him a sloppy, warm smile, and stretched out his paws soaked in barbecue oil to touch his head.

Xiao Yun... Xiao Yun can't go and ask uncle Ashan whether you believe the lie I made up or not, do you believe your old sister, my mother enchanted me in my dream...　　

"At least he believes that I am the original owner. He probably didn't regard me as a wandering ghost who occupied the magpie's nest. Otherwise, the attitude should not be so harmonious... Well, forget it, if he believes in my nonsense. , he really thought that my mom who died in battle was still in the world to bless his nephew, and became nagging. It was a bit irritating... The two of his relatives were gone, so let's not keep thinking about playing him like a monkey. "　　

Xiao Yun wiped his face, wondering that he walked out to eat almost a quarter of an hour, so he got up and prepared to return to the firewood room. The fire inside could not be interrupted-if he want to make a high quality pottery, not just the broken slag, there is something special technique about it. As for Xiao Yun's extremely poor understanding of pottery, he also knows that pottery has a process of heating and then cooling... This kind of relatively technical work is done by himself. The obligation to "open wasteland" cannot be said to just draw a blueprint and leave all the work to others to do. The first is that no one in the tribe of the snow werewolves has the money to spend time. Even if he holds the patriarch's thighs firmly and does not take the initiative to increase productivity, it will be still a dream and people still poor; second, he knows a theory, doesn't tell the details of making pottery to snow werewolves whom "just follow their feeling" come to burn the kiln, it will be a disaster for the snow werewolf tribe.

In modern society, there are professional pottery kilns that can control the temperature, and more advanced equipment can burn out mud model in more than a day, and less advanced equipment can take more time with sufficient combustion, Xiao Yun had seen the details of the process on a forum, an old brother who put the mud model in the small metal empty bucket, piled up the rotten wood picked up from the construction waste, and burned hard. The most surprise thing was that the stuff was so beautiful.

Xiao Yun is not short of fuel at this time. Every year, the tribe collects firewood and cow dung in autumn as much as possible to spend the winter. This year he has built out the mud brick houses and heatable beds that are overwintering. It is not a problem to improve fuel utilization to much, he wants to use the extra fuel to make pottery and naturally no one will object.

What really frustrated Xiao Yun was that the earthen kiln he had worked so hard to create might not be as good as the empty iron barrels that modern society casually picked up on the roadside...　　

Thinking about pottery, Xiao Yun He got up and walked two steps. Suddenly, he always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ashan, who was still sitting by the campfire with his tribe and eating.

The snow werewolves basically don't use pottery bowls. Grab the meat with your hands, and hold the pot when he drink the soup. The oil in Ashan's paw is just grabbing the barbecue, and the oil is almost dripping on his half sleeve. And Ashan's other hand is carefully holding a black pottery bowl with some bean sprout soup in it.　　

This world is not really primitive society. Both the orc empire and the human kingdom are civilized. The pottery they bought in the tribe from the human caravan has a natural earth-red glaze that is burned out after a more mature pottery technique.

The black pottery bowl in Ashan's hand has a thick carcass, serious potholes, and uneven surface. Even if the Snow Werewolf had no eyesight, he would not spend fur to exchange for such defective products... That is to say, Ah Shan is useless. The genuine Snow Werewolf that the pottery bowl was accustomed to, held in his hand a semi-finished product that Xiao Yun had previously fired in a large stove.

Xiao Yun stared blankly at the black pottery bowl in Ashan's hand for a few seconds, and suddenly felt a warmth in his chest, and a little guilt filled his heart-dozens of seconds ago, he was still regrettably thinking that Ashan had not cooperated with him to wash the way through. Now, he felt that he was so scheming to face the pure-hearted snow werewolf.

"Uncle Ashan, do you want to come and make a pottery with me?" 　　

"Huh?" Ashan turned his head and looked over in surprise, "Ayun, you call me?" 　　

"Well. It will be burned for a more night, you can come if you don't mind of heat." Xiao Yun waved his hand and said.

Ashan immediately drank up half a bowl of bean sprouts soup, quickly rolled up the rattan and straw mat in front of him, and came to here fast...　　

Qingcao and Dahe enviously looked at Ashan, who had entered the mysterious firewood with Xiao Yun, and looked at each other and sighed-the patriarch ordered no one to enter that mysterious room to disturb Ayun's burning pottery, and Ayun did not ask them come in too, which made them even more curious. …

Well, yes, Ashan sneaked in the kiln in the afternoon to avoid other people. He felt that AYun's answer explained the changes in his body and then left immediately, he also worried that he would be scolded if he was discovered...

Xiao Yun was looking forward to let Ashan cooperate with him in the performance and crown his knowledge to the appearance of his dead mother. With Ashan's simple thinking mode, he could not think of this level at all...

Sitting down, whether it's guilt or compensation, Xiao Yun really hopes that he can cultivate the relationship with his uncle from the beginning of making pottery together. When Xiao Yun living on the earth, he was alienated from his father's relatives, but close to his mother's relatives. There are several uncles who are good to him in the countryside, and there is nothing awkward for him to have one more uncle in this life.

Last time Qingcao, Dahe and I, we placed six mud models in the heatable bed last time, because the temperature was not high enough and the heating process was too short. The resulting pottery bowls were not completely heated, dark and without the texture of pottery. There are two of six were cracked, and the other one was completely pulverized when Oxhorn touched it. So I think that to burn a successful pottery, we must first ensure the high temperature, and secondly, the temperature rise must be frequent, and the process of raising the temperature of the kiln should be given to make the pottery.The quality of the mud models are nice tight, what do you think, uncle?" 　　

"Huh...huh?" Ashan had not finished eating the barbecued meat, so when Xiao Yun asked him, he was taken aback.

"Today during the day, I tried to slowly increase the frequency of adding firewood, so that the temperature inside the kiln had a relatively long heating process, and then I went out to check the walls of the kiln many times, and some of the temperature would dissipate from the walls. However, the temperature inside should be much higher than that in the heatable bed, which can retain the high temperature." 　　

Xiao Yun, regardless of whether Ashan can understand or not, still patiently explained to Ashan that he wanted Ashan to participate in the pottery burning and to realize the fun of progress of groping and creation: "Now that the fuel that can be filled in the burning tunnel has reached the upper limit, refilling will reduce the firepower due to the lack of air entering the space, so for the time being as the temperature rises to the limit, start the next step: Keep it at a high temperature for a period of time."　　

"High temperature can densify the pottery, make it delicate and strong and not fragile. For this reason, didn't I deliberately left charcoals when burning the heatable bed a few days ago, and asked you and Oxhorn helped me moved the charcoals here is intended to be used at this time. Come here uncle, and help me pass the charcoals. From now on, there will be no firewood and cow dung in it, and it will be burned with charcoals only."

"Oh!" Ashan hurriedly stuffed the rest of the meat into his mouth, got up to move the charcoal pile.

"The high temperature lasts for about one to two hours... well, it's almost the time from when you are full and can't eat anymore to digest part of the food in your stomach, and you can eat more hard." 　　

"Huhu...no Who would eat like this? What a waste. Ayun, don't you think it's so hot? Can I lift the animal skins that block the door to let the room fresh air?" 　　

"No, the cold wind will blow in, you leave the fire hole is farther away and taken off your coat."　　

"Ayun, is the pottery sold to us by caravans also burned like this?"　　

"Yes, humans have more mature technology. We need to experiment several times before we can burn them. Similar level." 　　

"Ayun, you have become so smart." 　　

"... Hmm." Xiao Yun no longer teaches him better than an old lady who is a manifestation. He already regrets using his dead relatives to fool you. Ah Shan. Ah Shan glanced at Xiao Yun with a very careful look. He seemed to be able to feel that Xiao Yun's mood was a little low, frowning and thinking for a while. This Snow Wolf man, who has probably never learned how to comfort people in his life, worked very hard: "Ayun, even if you are not so smart, I have never thought that you are useless to the tribe. Snow werewolves are natural warriors, so we can become wolves. Moreover, the humans in the caravan are much weaker than you. They are both disgusting and arrogant." 　　

"..." Xiao Yun silently turned his face to look at Ah Shan, who had a sincere look. Such a normal mentally healthy person has nothing to do with it. The original owner should be depressed. When the child listens, the problem will be very big...　　

"No matter what you are, Ayun is Ayun." Ashan added firmly.

Xiao Yun understood immediately why Ashan had that reaction during the day. He understood his own flicker, but he felt that it was not important. Anyway, Ayun is still Ayun made no difference to him-it was simple and crude. His reflex arc and brain circuit are exactly the standard snow werewolf mode.

Xiao Yun raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows again. He found that he was still a bit accustomed to seeing snow werewolves in a human way. This made him seem a little troubled and passionate... The biggest snow werewolf tribe had no concept of offering sacrifices. Whether there are true gods and demons, and whether the ancestors of the dead relatives will appear, these free evidences do not need to care in the snow wolf man's view, because the snow wolf man is a super pragmatic who only cares about the visible "the now"...　　

At the beginning, Ashan came up to ask him the first question was whether Ayun suddenly became smarter when he was out of the stimulus, instead of thinking that Ayun was replaced with a core, this is the difference in thinking mode caused by different concepts.

In contrast, although not superstitious, Xiao Yun, who has traditional knowledge of "national events, worship in Rong", appears to be paralyzed and rigid in feudalism...　　

"In other words, even if I clamored that I was not the original owner, Ashan, this Helping the snow werewolf would only think that I was irritated and had brain problems, or that I was raised in the tribe. Anyway, they looked at me as the original owner Ayun, and I was the original owner Ayun." Xiao Yun couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but returned. I couldn't say it, so I could only silently ache, "Then I'm really struggling with something..." 　　

With a complicated mood, Xiao Yun dragged Ashan to accompany him to burn the kiln all night, until the next day. Xiao Yun estimated that the kiln had been burning for more than 24 hours, and he began to reduce the firepower and slowly lower the temperature in the kiln. The entire cooling time lasted for a whole day, mainly because Xiao Yun really had no experience in this area, and didn't know when it was appropriate to open the kiln, so he slowly used the most stupid way...　　

At noon, Xiao Yun stopped adding firewood. However, the temperature of the kiln seemed to be still very high. Xiao Yun did not dare to open the kiln directly. The door of the firewood room was half-opened and the cold wind was blowing slowly towards the entrance of the firepit. The temperature of kiln walls was not hot, and only a little warm at dusk. Xiao Yun is now ready to open the kiln.

Well, the main reason is that if the kiln is not opened now, people from the tribe will come to watch. Xiao Yun is afraid that the failure of the kiln will be seen by too many people on the spot. That's why his face will be very bad. .

The one who opened the kiln with Xiao Yun was Ashan, who had been left behind for waiting a day. Ashan was so happy when he heard that he could be liberated, so he went up to pick up the mud and lift the stone slabs actively—then coughing loudly.

"OMG, the soot in the burning tunnel is coming here..." Xiao Yun pushed Ashan away, who had coughed up tears, and stretched out his head to look into the dark cave kiln. First of all, his heart felt cold, damn it! don't all the clay in a kiln burn out?

The minimum temperature of the sintered stoneware must be above nine hundred degrees, otherwise the black clay jars will come out instead of pottery. Although they can barely be used as pottery, they are definitely not acceptable to Xiao Yun... He still I hope that the kiln technology is mature and the temperature will rise above 1300 degrees to make the porcelain. When he burn it, he hope the temperature will be higher. But now looking at the situation in the kiln, he began to regret whether he overburned the temperature again...　　

Cautiously squatted down, nervously reached out into the dark skiln and fumbled inside, let the kiln alone cool down the ashes after so long, he touched the pottery that it was still a bit hot...Slightly patted the fire ashes and touched the pot-bellied jug at the entrance of the kiln. Xiao Yun felt a little comforted, at least the one he touched was not broken and the shape was still there.

He stretched out his hands and carefully held out the pot-bellied jug that he personally squeezed the mud model and put it in and burned. The expression on Xiao Yun's face changed from fearful to ecstatic within ten seconds: the blackish earth-red skin, the straight body of the can seems to have absorbed the carbon element in the plant ash during the firing process to become a delicate and compact surface. A flick of the finger and a crisp echo-a big success! This is a standard pottery pot belly jug!

Ahem, eh? Ayun, this jar is so beautiful!" Ashan coughing up tears in surprise.

"The unglazed pottery is the true color of the clay. We used the black mud of the swamp and the yellow clay. The squeeze out of the clay was originally a bit earthy red... if the temperature is not enough, there will be black and red patches. If the temperature is enough, the overall The color is the same, as long as it is one color, it looks good." Xiao Yun excitedly touched the smooth surface of the can with his fingers, "Next time we can get some ash and lime, and then see if there are natural pigments that can be used. Making layers of glaze and hanging on it will make it look more beautiful!"

The first jug out of the kiln gave Xiao Yun confidence, and then he took out the pottery in the kiln with confidence and boldly. Xiao Yun makes the best use of the space in the cave, and could put four clay pots as large as a basin size large-belly water pots, two big belly water pots and more twenty clay bowls.

The pot-bellied water jars were all made by Xiao Yun. They were uniform in thickness and beautiful in shape. They were fortunately fired into shape, and there were no black and red spots due to uneven heating and insufficient temperature. Four clay pots burned one out, other three are fine.This failure rate is acceptable; what surprises Xiao Yun most is the 23 large and small pottery bowls formed. I don't know if it's because the pottery bowl is thinner and placed in a lower position to absorb more vegetation ash and carbon elements. The relationship is that the burning is more successful than the jug, and the surface has the characteristics of porcelain, which is particularly smooth and bright!

"Ayun, why is this bowl so bright?" Ashan picked up a porcelain bowl with two claws and refused to put it down. He turned to look at it cherishingly. "It's so bright and slippery. It's more bright than a caravan's ceramic bowl" 　

Xiao Yun didn't even expect the bowl to burn so well, so he held a bowl and smirked there...

Because Xiao Yun had forgotten to stop, today's patriarch also built mud bricks on the bank of the river for a day. His old waist almost couldn't straighten out. He had to be supported by Oxhgorn return.

After entering the tribe, the patriarch found that some people should come back on weekdays and the lively tribe was a bit deserted at the moment. Standing in the middle of the tribe where all the tents and two mud-brick houses could be seen, he saw Wool, grass and others all sat around the kiln where he had said he was not allowed to go.　　

"What's the matter?" The patriarch was a little nervous, and he didn't want Oxhorn to help him. He ran over at a big stride. After only two steps, he felt back pain and had to move a little bit anxiously. Before getting close to the people sitting around, the patriarch was dazzled by the rays of sunset light reflected by some object on the ground. He quickly raised his hand to cover it, and looked intently again... On the clearing where the wool and the others were sitting, swinging holding several small...bowls with shiny reflections...Eh, bowl? !

Facing the Dahe here, she saw the patriarch. Her eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hands to hold one of the shiny little bowls, and stretched out in the direction of the patriarch as if offering a treasure: "Look, brighten the bowl!"

Xiao Yun looked surprised. Xiang Dahe, what the hell is 'Bright bowl'? Wait, the snow werewolf still has the intelligence to name it.

The patriarch didn't care about the back pain and rushed forward. He took the bowl from Dahe's hand and took a closer look. He said that the bowl is actually very beautiful. After all, the glaze is not kaolin, and the color is dark earth red, the only bright spot.

It means that the surface is smooth and bright enough, but if you can't bear it, it is a porcelain surface that is burned out. In the timeline of the earth, Chinese porcelain has been sold all over the world, and the impact of porcelain on pottery can be seen.　　

The patriarch, who was so excited that he couldn't speak, stared at Xiao Yun, who was pretending to be smiling, staring at the watery stars.

Xiao Yun compared his thumbs: "We succeeded, the patriarch, we burned a better pottery than the human caravan."

The patriarch nodded desperately, and slapped away Oxhorn who he wanted to touch the bowl. He didn't forget. Oxhorn have broken the pottery bowl.

Xiao Yun said again: "These pottery bowls are not glazed, and they are of no value to sell. If your think that these bowls will be wasted you can began use them for our dinner at night today, use these bowls almost enough to divide for each people. I will burn it one batch again everybody can get a set of tableware...Well? Why are you all looking at me like this?"

The patriarch, Ashan, Qingcao, Dahe, Fleece and others all looked at him with horror, and the patriarch and Qingcao returned to protected the bowl in their hands with both hands, as if Xiao Yun was going to do something bad to the bowl.
