"It seems so. I don't know where they got some colored soil to paint on it, hoping to see if they could produce pottery of different colors. The finished product turned out like this, and they themselves didn't expect it." Mu reached out and gently poked the porcelain, chuckling, "It looks really good."
Meng Yuqing put the porcelain back in its place and said, "Anyway, if you want to make something like this, remember to use a high temperature and coat the surface with the clay you found. You can still make it without coating it, but it definitely won't be as shiny."
Mu nodded as he listened, not knowing whether he understood or not.
Meng Yuqing smiled when she saw his silly look and said nothing more.
Anyway, I'll just talk to Xuan about it when he comes back. In addition to earth glaze, feldspar and quartz can also be used as glaze. If that doesn't work, crushed glass can also be used.
After returning home and lying on the bed, Meng Yuqing still couldn't react. Did his fellow tribesmen tinker with the porcelain?
After the accidentally fired porcelain was recognized by Meng Yuqing, the tribesmen became more motivated.
Although pottery is easy to use, porcelain is more beautiful, smoother and comes in many colors.
Nowadays, there is an abundance of pottery, and even a lot of glassware in Qingshan City. People are most interested in porcelain.
After Meng Yuqing told the beastmen who were responsible for guarding the pottery kiln the precautions needed for firing porcelain, they built another kiln overnight.
Based on Meng Yuqing's statement that porcelain requires higher temperatures, he also modified the pottery kiln on his own.
When they finished building it and asked Meng Yuqing to help them take a look, Meng Yuqing was completely confused.
No, your technology is improving too fast.
Although confused, Meng Yuqing still carefully helped them check the new pottery kiln, or to be more precise, the porcelain kiln.
There were generally no problems with their renovations, and Meng Yuqing only made some minor changes.
What he didn't know was that after the pottery kiln was built, the healthy orcs would take turns guarding the kiln, but the disabled orcs would stay here regardless of wind or rain.
For them, it is impossible to grow back their limbs, but as long as they do their job well in the pottery kiln, they are no worse than anyone else, and they can still contribute to the construction of Qingshan City.
Therefore, when they have nothing to do, they will think about how to make pottery better and burn more.
Now that they had enough pottery, they painted patterns on it, just as Meng Yuqing painted flowers on soap.
Later, drawing patterns could no longer satisfy them, so they thought about adding more colors to the pottery.
In particular, Qingshan City now has plans to put pottery on the market for trading. They think that if the pottery is fired more beautifully, Qingshan City will have more face.
Therefore, apart from eating and sleeping, they think about these things every day.
In addition to using clay from the stream, they also looked for other types of soil to see if the result would be different when fired.
In the end, by accident, they were able to make the porcelain.
After telling them the function of the glaze, Meng Yuqing no longer cared about the things here. He only told them the function of the glaze, but he did not tell them the production method and materials of the glaze.
He felt that instead of putting things in front of them, it would be better to let them figure it out on their own.
It is obvious that these kiln keepers have regarded the pottery and porcelain kilns as their lifelong career. After being damaged, they have found a path for themselves.
That’s good, Meng Yuqing is not going to cut off their path.
After winter came, Xia Zhaoxuan held several meetings, but Meng Yuqing did not participate because she was busy with school matters.
However, every time Xuan came back, he would tell him the main content of the meeting.
"Are you worried that those who escaped did not leave the south but harassed other tribes here?" Meng Yuqing put down his chopsticks and said to Xuan.
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and if they want to take revenge, they have to find the Yellowstone Tribe, the Black Tree Tribe or Qingshan City.
If they were really so cruel as to harass other tribes, they would be no different from roving orcs.
"We are just worried. After all, no one thought they would set fire to the forest. If it hadn't rained later, the consequences would have been serious," said Xuan.
The animal form of the Black Tree Tribe is a tree, so the forest they live in is the largest forest in the entire south.
In addition to the Black Tree Tribe, there are many other tribes.
Although it was already autumn at that time, the high temperature had lasted for a long time before that, and the dead leaves and grass after autumn, coupled with the dry climate.
Once a fire reaches the grassland and continues to burn, other forests will not be spared.
Even if people who have lived in the Beast World for so long do not have theoretical knowledge, their life experience will make them know that they should be careful when making a fire in hot and dry weather.
"So what are you going to do?" Meng Yuqing asked.
The group was ambushed by the Yellowstone tribe and their numbers were greatly reduced, but the remaining strength should not be underestimated.
"The flying orcs will be divided into two groups of ten to go out on patrol. By the way, they will report the situation to any tribes they can find."
Xuan picked up a piece of meat for Meng Yuqing and continued.
"Don't worry too much, we're just guessing. Winter is tough. Small tribes are hard to find, and they're quite numerous. Even if we take the time to find them, the loot we get might not even be enough for them to eat for a few days. It's not as good as what they can hunt themselves. Even if they want to harm others, they have to make sure they don't starve to death first."
"The larger tribes all stay in their villages during the winter. After the snow falls, everything is covered in white. Without the cover of tall grass, bushes, and trees, they can easily reveal their tracks. If we fight them head-on, we will lose some men."
"We'll also send people out to explain the situation to any tribes we can find. That means we'll tell those tribes and those people that we'll take care of this matter. If they act recklessly, we'll have to consider whether, if we push them too far, someone might actually come directly to us for help, or ask the Black Tree Tribe for help, which would then lead to another encirclement and suppression."
"Yeah." Meng Yuqing nodded after listening to Xuan's words, and then said, "Next year, let's try to expand the planting area. As for the breeding area, we'll still use the old method. When the livestock give birth, I'll sneak over and throw a few more in."
"Do you want to expand the scale?" Xuan asked Meng Yuqing.
The things in the planting area are now enough for Qingshan City.
They raise livestock as food reserves and do not intend to rely on breeding to feed the entire city.
Just like Xuan said, orcs cannot neglect their hunting skills. Their fighting techniques are honed through years of hunting.
Meng Yuqing smiled and said, "We still need to develop."
After school started, the first group of people from the temporary tribe who came to Qingshan City for tourism had also arrived.
