More Children, More Blessings, Starting from Wilderness Survival

Reborn five years ago, Chen Fan participates in a wilderness survival reality show that never existed before. He activates the system and teams up with the popular female star Liu Feifei right from...

Chapter 110 Pottery Making

After quickly washing up, the two began planning what they would do that day.

"Chen Fan, what are we going to do today?"

Because she slept well last night, Liu Feifei looked radiant and energetic today.

"Let's start practicing pottery today!"

"We started talking about this a few days after we arrived, but we've been too busy to do it. Let's start refining it today, since we don't lack food right now."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Fan spoke.

Although larger bamboo stalks can also be made into bowls and plates, I still feel that they are somewhat different from ceramic bowls and plates.

So Chen Fan decided to take advantage of his relatively free time to fire some pottery.

"Okay, I'll go check if the fishing trap has yielded any results. If it has, I'll make breakfast for us." After saying that, Liu Feifei went to check the catch from the fishing trap.

This lake is very rich in resources, and you can usually catch some big fish every time.

Often, one big fish is enough for them to have a meal...

Chen Fan also began working on making pottery.

Making pottery is actually quite simple, but there are some things to pay attention to.

That means the temperature must be within the specified range during the refining process.

Ordinary firewood cannot reach the temperature required to refine pottery, so it is necessary to first burn some charcoal.

Only the finest charcoal can reach the temperature required for making pottery, thus producing the best pottery.

Secondly, the requirements for materials are also relatively high. Ordinary soil contains too many impurities and is not suitable for making pottery.

For wilderness survivors, high-quality clay is generally preferred when making pottery.

On such a deserted island, the best option is naturally a termite nest.

Because these termite nests are made of natural clay!

Moreover, the pottery refined from it will be of very high quality, and the success rate will be higher.

“Charcoal is relatively easy to burn, but clay depends on luck,” Chen Fan thought for a moment.

They quickly made up their minds to first produce charcoal and then go find clay.

Making charcoal is not difficult; in fact, it is quite simple.

All you need to do is find some dry firewood to start refining...

While Liu Feifei was making breakfast, Chen Fan began searching for some dry firewood nearby!

Dry firewood is almost everywhere on this kind of island, and Chen Fan had collected a large pile in half an hour.

There are also requirements for the firewood used to make charcoal. First of all, the firewood must not be small branches; it must be thick and sturdy.

This way, the charcoal will be better...

"Chen Fan, come and have breakfast!"

Just then, Liu Feifei finished preparing breakfast and called out to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan quickly went over as well.

Breakfast was simple: a pot of fish soup with some yam. Although simple, it was very nutritious.

For survivors, being able to eat breakfast of this quality in the morning is already a luxury.

Before long, the two finished their breakfast.

"What do you need me to do now?"

"Is there anything you need to find? Just tell me."

Liu Feifei quickly asked as well.

"Actually, there's not much to do right now. Making charcoal is quite simple; I can do it all by myself."

"Just go and put the fishing cage back in its place."

Chen Fan smiled and said something, then started working.

First, cut the firewood you just gathered into pieces about 50 to 60 centimeters long. Then, place the first piece in the middle and arrange the others from the inside out according to their thickness.

After winding all the firewood into a semi-circle with a diameter of one meter, place some flammable twigs and dry leaves on top, and then just mix some soil into mud...

Then cover all the wood with a thick layer of soil...

The next step is to make a large hole at the very top of the mound to ignite the dry leaves at the top of the firewood.

Then, eight small holes need to be made at the bottom to serve as air inlets for people!

It was an hour later when I finished doing all this.

After all, many things are simple in theory, but quite time-consuming in practice.

"Phew!! It's finally done."

Chen Fan clapped his hands and then washed the dirt off his hands.

"Chen Fan, shall we start making charcoal now?"

"Although we often get charcoal when we eat barbecue before, this is the first time I've seen it made on-site." Liu Feifei had already set up the fishing trap, so she came over to watch Chen Fan make charcoal.

After all, learning another skill is a great thing!

"Okay, next we just need to light the dry leaves at the top, and the air inlet will supply oxygen. When the flames reach the eight air inlets below, we can block all the inlets and then wait for two days."

Chen Fan nodded, and then began to explain earnestly.

In fact, he had never actually done it before and had never personally made charcoal.

However, I had seen many survivors burn charcoal before, so I was quite familiar with this aspect.

However, even Chen Fan himself was unsure whether this method could produce high-quality charcoal.

After all, it was the first time trying, so it's perfectly normal to fail.

After all, no one can guarantee that they can produce high-quality charcoal on the first try.

However, he felt that he had always been lucky and that there shouldn't be any problems.

"Oh my god!! So making charcoal is that simple?"

"But speaking of which, you're really amazing. It's like nothing is difficult for you."

"I'm even starting to wonder if you have any real-world experience in wilderness survival?"

Liu Feifei nodded as if she understood, then said with a face full of admiration.

He felt that Chen Fan's wilderness survival skills were comparable to those of foreign wilderness survival experts.

It could even be said that it is more than that...

Keep in mind that Chen Fan is about the same age as me, and for someone his age to have wilderness survival experience is already quite remarkable.

After all, in today's society, once you graduate from school, you have to support your family and start working day after day...

Very few people have the spare time to do wilderness survival.

Unless you're a video blogger who makes a living from this...

Of course, he definitely doesn't belong to that kind of person.

Through their previous conversation, she also learned that Chen Fan had been working for a Chinese company.

Every day is the same grueling 996 work schedule...

"Haha! These are all relatively simple survival skills. You can memorize them by watching online videos a few times," Chen Fan said with a smile.
