Chapter 27 Pottery and Confidence



Han Cheng originally wanted to make a pot first, but considering his current pottery-making skills that are not even entry-level, this is too unrealistic.

After trying three or four times and all failing, Han Cheng had to settle for making pottery jars.

Ceramic pots can also be used to boil water or cook soup. Although it is not very convenient to serve the food, you really can't be too particular about it at this time.

Han Cheng, with his hands covered in mud, made a pottery jar with a diameter of about 20 cm. The jar was round and about 30 cm high. He also pressed two ears on it about two or three cm away from the mouth of the jar, which could be used to thread a rope when the time came.

Han Cheng admired himself for a while and thought it was pretty good.

After all, he had been doing this for most of the day and had accumulated some experience.

However, when he turned around and saw the clay piece of pottery in Heiwa's hand, his face twitched involuntarily.

People say that the disciple surpasses the master, and things are moving forward. This is very true, but the victory is too fast and too much!

This is more than blue! It's almost bluer than blue!

Under Heiwa's hands, a clay embryo with a small bottom and a large mouth and a top diameter of more than one meter has taken shape. Heiwa is imitating Han Cheng by sprinkling some water on it and smoothing the inside and outside of the embryo with his hands.

This scene made Han Cheng's eyes widen.

Having made some pottery clay molds by himself, he knew that the larger the pottery, the harder it was to make. Otherwise, he would not have been so self-indulgent after only making a clay mold of a pottery jar with a diameter of more than twenty inches.

What Heiwa made is not a jar, it is clearly a big vat!

It's the kind of jar that Sima jar smashed into pieces!

Of course, this is a few sizes smaller than that.

But this was enough to surprise Han Cheng. It turned out that life is full of surprises!

Han Cheng, like some other equally astonished children, walked over to Heiwa and watched him make the final touches to the clay work that was so impressive that it could overwhelm everyone.

Heiwa was very happy, and this happiness was accompanied by an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

When learning the divine language and divine characters, he was always the slowest learner. Because of this, he was often punished by the Son of God to copy. He was envious of others playing and even felt ashamed in front of other friends.

But today was different. Today they did not learn the language and writing of God, but played with mud. This made Heiwa, who already liked playing with mud, very happy.

Especially now, all his friends gathered around and looked at what he made in amazement, even the Son of God came to stand aside and watch!

This made him feel proud and he felt very happy.

It turns out that I am not completely useless. It turns out that I am better than others in some aspects. I can also do things well...

Heiwa had a tense face with a childish look on his face. With the idea of ​​making this thing better, he carefully made every part of the clay embryo extra smooth and flat.

This was much more serious than when he washed his own face, as if this was not a pile of mud, but something extremely precious.

Han Cheng has lived two lives, so he can naturally see Heiwa's thoughts. This slightly stubborn look in his eyes clearly shows that he is a child who has been wronged and is trying hard to prove himself!

Han Cheng had complicated feelings about this, feeling sad but also happy, but more importantly, he understood and empathized with Heiwa's feelings.

“Snap, snap, snap…”

When Heiwa finished the last bit, Han Cheng led the applause.

“Pah pah pah pah…”

Applause also came from the other seven people.

This is what Han Cheng taught them when he was teaching them Mandarin and Chinese characters. When a person learns particularly well, he will get everyone's applause.

Heiwa's body was a little stiff and his eye sockets were hot. He turned around and looked at the Son of God who was smiling and clapping for him, and his friends who were looking at him with a smile and clapping their hands loudly. Tears flowed uncontrollably.

He hurriedly tried to wipe it with his hands, but forgot there was mud on his hands, and ended up getting his face covered in mud.

“Hehe…”

"Hahaha……"

Everyone was laughing. Heiwa, feeling a little embarrassed, wiped away his tears, and ran towards Tietou, who was closest to him, smiling, and smeared the mud on his hands on Tietou's face.

So, amidst the laughter, the children of the Qingque tribe made a noise and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Han Cheng looked at this scene and smiled, feeling peaceful and warm in his heart.

After making a lot of noise for a while, at Han Cheng's call, these little guys, who had all turned into mud monkeys, stopped and continued to devote themselves to the great cause of pottery making.

Compared to the boring study of divine characters and language, playing in the mud seems particularly popular.

Heiwa has now become a little expert in playing with mud. He gives some guidance to his friends from time to time and sometimes helps his friends make some things himself.

Han Cheng was genuinely happy when he saw this scene. The feeling he had earlier about the disciple being better than his master was long gone. After all, having such a little expert was a very good thing for him and the tribe.

Such talents need special attention.

The results of today's work are quite good. By the time we finished work in the afternoon, we had more than 20 pottery clay embryos of various sizes. Although most of them were strange in shape, the result was already very good.

Han Cheng did not take these things into the cave, but left them by the river, where they cleared out a place specifically for storing mud embryos.

It is spring now, there is not much dew, and the sunlight is not very strong during the day, which is the best time to dry the clay.

In summer or other times when the sun is strong, these undried clay pieces cannot be stored in the open air during the day. The strong sunlight will easily cause cracks to appear on them.

Although it was Han Cheng's first time making pottery, he was able to understand it with the bowl of old wine in the video and various life knowledge about wilderness rescue.

The children were very excited about today's experience. After washing the mud off their bodies at the river, they walked happily towards the cave without feeling tired at all.

The limping Bo also followed the team, holding two fresh fish in his hands and with a childlike smile on his face.

The eldest brother, who had just returned from hunting, heard about Han Cheng's actions today. He couldn't help but feel curious, so he and Wu asked Han Cheng what he was going to do.

When they learned from Han Cheng that they were going to make a lot of things for holding water, fruit and the like, and that this thing called pottery was far more useful than the stone basins and bowls in the tribe, they all showed expressions of surprise and confusion.

Apparently they, like everyone else, didn't understand how something made of mud could hold water...
