After rubbing his palms, he rubbed the mud on his palms and fingers onto the big stone slab.
I don't wash my hands anymore, anyway, I will squeeze the mud later.
Muqing took out his chopsticks and ate a piece of meat with bird legs added.
"Well, this is delicious. It tastes closer to chicken than iguana."
"It's just that the age is a bit old, the meat is a bit woody, and it may be the reason why I didn't cook it for a long time."
"It's delicious. If I can have such a bowl of broth every day, I don't mind eating a little dog food."
After chewing and swallowing, Mu Qing contentedly took another piece of meat and ate it.
[Bah, I thought today's theme was wild handicrafts, but I didn't expect it to be food. 】
[The smell of glutinous rice comes from downstairs, it's time for me to eat. 】
[Glutinous rice tastes average, but it smells really fragrant, much more fragrant than white rice. 】
[You did it on purpose. 】
[Eat, eat, come back to learn techniques later. 】
A little bird that is only a little bigger than a sparrow, plus a little mushroom, Muqing feels that his stomach has not been filled after eating.
From the three cassava by the fire, take the slightly smaller one.
Knocked and knocked off some of the burnt shell on the surface.
"These few cassavas were originally small, and part of them were burnt during the roasting process, and the edible part was even less."
"Eat two, which is equivalent to the amount of one when it is not baked."
"I'll eat it first and choose the smaller one. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Right."
After eating one, Mu Qing still couldn't finish it.
I knocked open the smaller one of the two, and explained myself, before the barrage persuaded me, I ate a cassava.
"Don't say it, really, it's so soft, it tastes very close to roasted taro."
"The kind of taro that is small in size but rich in starch."
"I hope it can be eaten, it is definitely the gospel of survival in the wilderness."
After eating and drinking enough, a little water came to burn on the fire.
Mu Qing sat down in front of the stone slab and continued his great career of pottery firing.
The two big pieces of clay were beaten again in turn, and a part was pulled out from one piece of clay.
Rub in hands to shape.
"The amount filtered out this time is not bad. I'll make a water cup to practice my hands first, and then make a small bowl when I'm proficient."
"Finally, I will start making clay pots. If there are any leftovers, I will make another plate and make a three-piece set for eating and drinking."
Chapter 82
Rub your hands together, first round the mud, and then slowly sharpen the upper end.
"To make pottery pots in the wild, generally use the mud stick method or the hand kneading method."
"The pottery made by the clay strip construction method will be more beautiful without too many gaps, but the temperature requirements for firing pottery will be higher."
"I don't seem to have such a condition. The temperature of the kiln is difficult to meet the standard of the pan construction method, so I am going to use the hand kneading method."
"I first make a tapered cone, then poke a hole in the middle with my fingers, and slowly spread the mud along the hole."
As Mu Qing introduced, the clay embryo in his hand was slowly rounded and enlarged.
"Don't be impatient when the soil is shaped by hand, and the overall shape should not change too much."
"Even the thick part to the thin part, and keep improving so that the overall thin thickness tends to be uniform."
A large lump of soil slowly turned into a round body in Mu Qing's hands, with a skirt on the top and some wrinkled pottery.
Mu Qing looked at the made clay cup from a distance, and frowned involuntarily.
[Mud kneading skills get√]
[Is it too dry, there are many cracks on the top. 】
[It doesn't look very easy to pinch, I don't know what it will be like after burning. 】
[This cup is a bit small, it doesn't feel like [-]ml. 】
[It is said that you should practice your hands first, and then you will have time to make bigger ones after you succeed. 】
[Look at this shape, it looks a bit like a miniature chamber pot]
Seeing this bullet screen fly by, Mu Qing's frowning brows eased.
Ok
No wonder it felt inexplicably familiar, it turned out to be so.
Hold the bottom with one hand, and slowly adjust with the other hand to flatten the skirt on the top to form a flat-mouthed cup.
"In this way, the basic shape is considered good."
Muqing put the kneaded pottery in front of the camera, the whole is a half-conical water cup with a big bottom and a small top.
It can be seen that there are still many small cracks on the whole pottery blank.
"There are many small cracks in the pottery made by hand kneading. Now I need to glue the surrounding areas with mud to smooth out these gaps."
"This is a delicate job. It is necessary to ensure that the whole pottery body has no cracks from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom."
Mu Qing put the kneaded pottery blank aside, took out another ball of soil, rounded it randomly, pressed a notch, and poured water into the notch.
There was a lot of mud on the place where the mud ball was beaten before.
Muqing held the pottery blank in one hand, dipped his finger in water with the other hand, rubbed it on the stone slab, rubbed a little mud on his fingers, and carefully wiped it on the gaps in the pottery blank.
After the outside is repaired, the whole cup looks very delicate and smooth.
