Chapter 12 Making Pottery

Seeing the barrage on the virtual screen, Han Yuan looked up at the sun in the sky.

Although the sun is now slanting westward, he reckons it should be around three or four o'clock.

It gets dark faster in the rainforest, and the other places are much faster, but there should be about two hours of daylight for him to use.

Since there is still time, he is going to get two pottery out.

"Although in the wilderness survival, ensuring that you have enough physical strength and a healthy body is always the first priority."

"However, because this is the first day, I am currently in good physical condition and not hungry, so what I have to do now is to seize the time to familiarize myself with the surrounding environment and find stable sources of food and water."

"A stable source of food is urgent, because it is difficult to find a fixed food point in the wilderness, and I still have two fish in my hand, which is enough for me to last for about two days.

"So I can put its priority first, but I can grill a fish first, and I can eat it right away when I get back from work."

"As for the water source, finding a clean water source has always been the highest level in any wilderness survival collection you have seen."

"Because people can generally survive for about seven days without food, but generally cannot survive three days without water. This is common sense."

"But everyone has seen it before. Not far from my shelter, there is a super large freshwater lake. In a sense, I don't lack water."

"But I need clean water. Although the lake looks very clear, there may still be bacteria and parasites in it."

"So, while I still have time this afternoon, I'm going to make some pottery to boil water and cook food to ensure that my diet will be clean and hygienic for the rest of my life."

The audience in the live broadcast room were taken aback when they heard the words, and spoke one after another:
[Good guy, is the anchor planning to stay in the wilderness for a long time?The crockery was ready to be pulled out. 】

[Pottery making!I can do this!I can do it! 】

[I remember playing with mud when I was a child! 】

【Shock!An anchor of Douyu plays naked in the wilderness and earns a million a month! 】

[How cold!I am playing mud in the Northeast! 】

[Isn't it necessary to fix the type of clay to make pottery? 】

[I remember that pottery firing seems to require a pottery kiln, right?Otherwise, the temperature of the campfire alone is not enough?Is the host going to build a pottery kiln first? 】

Han Yuan looked at the barrage, "Making pottery has a history of more than 5000 years in human history, and it is a very ancient art."

"What some friends said is indeed true. Modern pottery generally uses kaolin as the main material, and pottery kilns are required for firing."

"However, my requirements are not so high now. As long as it can be used, it doesn't matter if it looks ugly. After I find suitable clay and materials, I can make some more."

"In fact, everyone should have played with mud when they were young. Ordinary soil can also be used to make pottery, but when firing, the pottery is more likely to crack."

"But these are all small problems. I just need to make a few more. There will always be one or two that will be fired successfully."

While talking, Won started to process the Brazilian sea bream.

In the wilderness, the easiest way to cook food is to grill, but his baking skills are average.

When he was in college, his class organized team building activities, and the things he baked made most of the 404 roommates in the 4 dormitory, including his own.

This gave him a conservative blow to his self-confidence that he thought he had the potential to be a chef at the time.

Although the wilderness survival knowledge information in my mind now comes with some food processing methods, I still have lingering fears.

So this time, Won is going to use the method of making beggar chicken to make fish.

It's a pity that there is no such excellent material as lotus leaves in this primitive wilderness, although monstera leaves are large enough to be substituted.

But this thing is poisonous, although it is not very toxic, but the juice can also cause vomiting and diarrhea if swallowed by mistake.

To be on the safe side, he could only use tender palm leaves instead.

The smaller Brazilian sea bream is wrapped around the palm leaves to ensure that the mud will not get in. After that, a thick layer of mud is pasted on the outside of the palm leaves, and then put into the bonfire for grilling.

As for the other larger Brazilian snapper, he needs to deal with it before it can be preserved.

In the rainforest, don't underestimate the speed at which fresh food spoils.

The heat and humidity plus all kinds of insects can turn your food into something disgusting, sticky and pus overnight.

Simply made two slender tripods, tied them with palm leaves and placed them on both sides of the campfire.

Then, with a long and thin bamboo stick, the Brazilian sea bream, which had already been cleaned and washed by the lake, was inserted horizontally into the mouth and passed out from the other end.

Then put it horizontally on two tripods and keep it one meter away from the flames of the campfire.

The rest is left to time.

When he finished making the pottery, it was almost dark and the beggar fish was almost cooked, and then the pottery could be thrown into the fire and burned overnight.

Get up the next day and you can use it.

Learn time management, you can be extraordinary, fly with all your strength!
After dealing with the Brazilian sea bream, Han Yuan cleaned up the open space by the campfire, reinforced the stone stove to ensure that sparks would not fly out, and then went to the lake with a few large monstera leaves.

"If you want to find the right clay to make pottery, in the wild, the sedimentary soil by the river is actually the best choice."

"Because it has been polished by river water, these sedimentary soils are fine and sticky, and will not crack when fired after molding."

"However, I haven't found a river near me for the time being, so I can go to the lake to dig a little soil from the lake first."

"At least it's better than digging the soil mixed with stones in the forest."

[I learned it, but it’s useless. Anyway, I don’t want to go to the wilderness to survive. If I want to play with mud, I can go to a pottery workshop to have fun! 】

['Little Ma' sent out a super rocket*1, I'm more looking forward to what the anchor can build later! 】

[Other wilderness survival anchors can build a shelter in one day, but this anchor's progress in one day is three days of others! 】
