Chapter 13 Burning Pottery
When he came to the lake, he bent down, and Han Yuan frowned after grabbing the soil from the lake.

He handed the dirt in his hand to the camera and showed it to the audience in the live broadcast room, with a disappointed tone.

"It seems that my previous judgment was a bit wrong. Although the soil by the lake looks like clay, it is mixed with a lot of fine gravel and sand."

"Although this kind of clay can stick together, it cannot be fired after it is made into a vessel. Once fired, the clay will produce a lot of cracks."

Han Yuan threw away the dirt in his hands, washed his hands, shook his head and said, "Let's look for it again. If it doesn't work, I'll come back and find a way."

Continuing along the lake, Won would stop and re-check the soil around and in the lake after each walk.

But it's a pity that, just like the beginning, the mud he walked by the lake was mixed with all kinds of sand and gravel.

Although the soil is indeed fine and clay, it is mixed with a lot of gravel.

Moreover, these gravel and gravel are completely different from the fine silt in clay. The diameter of these gravel and gravel is too large.

If you don't clean it up, you can't use it to make pottery at all, and it will be fried directly during the firing process, so even your mother doesn't know it.

While it's nice to have the rubble cleaned out, he's not sifting through the stuff right now.

Sighing, Han Yuan stopped and said, "It seems that the geological structure by the lake is the same as that in the forest, and the soil is mixed with stones."

"Since I can't find suitable clay by the lake, I have only one way to find a place to dig down."

A little away from the lake, Han Yuan pulled up a weed under his feet, then spun it in a circle, and threw it into the lake.

Then he found a wooden stick and began to dig down a little bit. While digging, he explained.

"How to find suitable soil has been taught in high school geography textbooks."

"As we all know, the earth is layered, and the soil under our feet is also layered."

"Under normal circumstances, the topsoil layer, core soil layer, and subsoil layer, these three layers of soil structure form the land under our feet, and if it goes down, it is the unweathered rock layer."

"Speaking of the rough topsoil, it is what we usually call the cultivated soil layer. Generally speaking, the thickness is about [-] to [-] centimeters."

"This layer of soil has the highest nutrient content, and normally, it can also be used to make pottery."

"But where I am now, the sand and gravel content in the topsoil is a bit high, so I have to dig down [-] to [-] centimeters to find the core soil layer, and that is my goal."

Hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room were speechless.

【Did high school geography teach this stuff?Why do I have no memory at all? 】

[Stupid, the science student said that I have never learned this stuff. 】

[The sports student said that he never learned this stuff in high school! 】

[The stratification of geological structure is the knowledge of geography in the freshman year of high school. It is impossible for a freshman in high school not to have learned it, you bunch of scumbags! 】

[This anchor's knowledge is too broad, right?It doesn't matter if you know how to survive in the wilderness, but you also know the geological structure? 】

['High mathematics make-up exam but no name change' sent out the plane*1, 6 turned over, 999! 】

The topsoil by the lake was thicker than Han Yuan had imagined. After digging more than 20 centimeters, there was no sign of the core soil.

Fortunately, the soil here is not very dry, so it is easy to dig.

However, the hole he dug was not small. After digging for about ten minutes, he saw the grayish-white soil gradually exposed at the bottom of the hole, which looked a bit like Guanyin soil.

Seeing this layer of soil, Han Yuan's eyes brightened slightly, and he quickly dug it up with a wooden stick.

After a while, he collected a large pile of off-white lumpy soil.

Use the large monstera leaves that you brought earlier to lay out by the lake, and transport the pile of soil to start making pottery embryos.

The soil dug out from the core soil layer is very clean, almost free of various organic matter, impurities and gravel that are rich in the surface soil.

Han Yuan first glued the soil into pieces, then poured the lake water on it with his hands, and then began to knead.

As the lake water infiltrated into the soil little by little, in Han Yuan's hands, the lumpy soil quickly melted away and was kneaded into a khaki dough.

And during this process, he kept picking out the scattered gravel and impurities that his hands came across and throwing them away.

In a few minutes, the first large group of soil was kneaded.

He Haoni wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm, Han Yuan looked at the camera and said.

"Making pottery is actually very simple. Most people have played with mud when they were young. There is nothing more to say about this. Just take a look."

"However, when live mud, pay attention to the amount of water added."

"There can't be too much water in it, and it can't be too little. If there is too much water, it will become muddy and cannot stand up."

"If there is less, the kneaded pottery will have cracks, and when it is fired, it will explode immediately."

"As far as the amount of water is concerned, it is about the same as when you pull the bait when fishing, and a little more will do. You can get it right after a few more trials."

After reconciling the mud, Han Yuan began to knead pottery.

He used to take his sister to the pottery workshop to play with the fabrication of ceramics, so now he is familiar with making pottery.

Although there is no turntable underneath, it doesn't have to be so demanding now.

After separating a pile of mud, knead it into a large oval dough, then insert the right hand directly from the center, and the thumb points to the outer edge of the outer card, and pull it out with a little force while turning.

Soon, a round pottery with a height of about ten centimeters and a width of about twenty centimeters was formed under his hands.

After the pottery embryo was formed, Han Yuan folded the straight branches, removed the outer skin, shook it under the camera, and said with a smile.

"Although the pottery embryo is formed, I can make it more beautiful for him."

After finishing speaking, he pinched the branch, let the branch cut into the outer pottery wall a little bit, and then turned it carefully.

On the outer wall of the molded pottery embryo, some slightly concave and uneven places are filled by the clay scraped around by the branches, and the protruding part of the soil is hung off by the branches to fill up the next depression.

And as the smooth branch crosses twice, the outer part of the pottery wall of the real pottery embryo looks smooth.

Although it can't be compared with the ones made in pottery workshops, but in the wild, there is no special turntable, no special materials, and it is already very good to be able to make this kind of pottery.

But this is not over yet, the pottery embryo has been made, and Han Yuan pinches two solid pottery ears.

I made a little mud with water, and then stuck it tightly on both sides of the pottery embryo, and then found two small wooden sticks to support it to prevent the still wet pottery ears from falling off.

When the pottery clay used for dipping the pottery ears is dry, the pottery ears will stick firmly to the pottery embryo, and there is no need to worry about falling off after firing.

The audience in the live broadcast room were almost stunned.

It wouldn't be too surprising if the Korean won made this pottery in the pottery workshop, but this is the wilderness here.

There are no tools and utensils, and even the soil has just been dug.

[Fuck, the last time I went to the pottery workshop, the things I made were not as good as the anchor! 】

[This is definitely practiced! 】

[I guess I'm still a mess after playing for half a day. 】

[True Playing with mud in the wild! 】

[Good guy, I am so direct, good guy! 】

[Seeing the anchor making pottery, I feel that I can do it again, Xingcheng Yuhua District, is there anyone together? 】

['Riding a pig to find a girl' sent out a rocket*1, I admire this traditional craft! 】
