Chapter 75 Pottery Making
Walking to the river, Su Yun observed the soil here, then squatted down and pinched it. It
was very soft, a little sticky, and it looked like there were few impurities.
"The soil is okay, just so-so."
He was only going to make ordinary pottery, so there was no need to pursue better soil. He would first become proficient in making pottery, and then worry about the soil quality.
However, when he became proficient in making pottery, he would have to choose kaolin when making porcelain in the future, otherwise he would not be able to make it.
By the way, when those peddlers come, if they see that everyone has a piece of porcelain in their hands, I wonder if they will be so angry that the plasmolysis will separate.
After selecting the soil, Su Yun walked to a place farther away from the river and picked a place.
With a wave of his hand, a white flame rose out of thin air.
The white flame fell to the ground.
Not long after, a circular pit one meter deep and two meters wide appeared.
"Well, the Flame brand excavator works well, much faster than the one that graduated from a technical school."
Su Yun expressed his satisfaction, and it was better not to do it if he could.
After he retracted the white flame, he used ordinary white light again.
White light penetrated into the ground, and then a magical scene appeared, and the soil on the ground rose up.
Su Yun controlled the soil to deform and turned into an inverted long bowl shape, with a gap in front of the bowl and a chimney pointing upwards on the top.
The big bowl covered the pit.
"Done, simple and fast." He couldn't help but sigh at the convenience of divine power.
After saying that, Su Yun left this place and returned to the tribe to call for help.
Soon, under his command, some idle tribesmen were gathered together, about fifty or sixty people.
Looking at the priest standing in front, Shitou in the crowd asked in confusion, "Priest, what do you want us to do?"
"Follow me."
Su Yun didn't say much, and led the way directly in front.
When they arrived at the destination, everyone looked at this strange-shaped mud building and became suspicious.
"Priest, what is this?" Shitou looked at the kiln in curiosity.
"This is a kiln for making pottery. You have seen the pots held by the five people before. That is pottery."
Su Yun explained calmly, "God saw it before and told me the method of making it. I think you should need it."
When everyone heard it, they were immediately excited. "So the priest wants to teach us this!"
"Great!"
"Thank God!"
Their eyes were excited. In fact, when the tribesmen saw those pottery pots, they were all a little eager in their hearts.
In the past, they could only use large leaves to hold water and other things, so they wanted the pots that could hold things very much. It was only when they thought that it was not their own thing that they forced themselves to suppress their desire.
Now that they knew that the priest had received God's revelation and could make that thing, everyone was full of energy and looked at the priest with bright eyes, fearing that they would miss any details.
Su Yun was very satisfied with their serious expressions. He turned around and gave an order to the three people.
"Go get some dry firewood..."
As soon as the request was finished, the three people walked towards the woods in a hurry.
After a while, the three people came back, each holding a large pile of dry firewood.
Under Su Yun's command, they spread all the dry firewood and some flammable materials at the bottom of the pit.
Then, after telling them to continue collecting firewood, Su Yun led the rest of the people to the river.
"You should know what the jar looks like. Use this mud to mold it into that shape."
Su Yun pointed to the clay by the river and instructed.
"Ah? Playing with mud?!"
Shitou said with a look of surprise.
Some children in the crowd were similar to him, and they all cheered up.
Apart from anything else, if it comes to playing with mud, they are definitely very experienced!
The adults looked a little embarrassed. They didn't understand why the priest wanted them to play with mud. Could mud be turned into that jar?
"It can't be true, right?"
"I can't imagine mud being turned into that thing."
With their poor knowledge, they really couldn't think of it. Even if the mud turned into the shape of a jar, how would it harden?
With doubt in their hearts, they squatted down by the river and each of them dug out a large lump of wet clay.
Time passed...
Su Yun's mouth twitched as he looked at the masterpieces in the hands of these people.
Deformed pottery jars?
Almost everyone made a mess. Among these people, the men made the worst, followed by the women.
The most surprising thing was that the children unexpectedly did a better job.
Although they were also unqualified, they already had a prototype. As long as they spent more time, the children would definitely complete the production of those pottery embryos.
Half an hour later...
Su Yun sighed. He felt that it would take them a long time to make a qualified one.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself. After the first batch is made and I have experience, they will have plenty of time to learn slowly in the future."
Thinking of this, Su Yun attracted the attention of the tribesmen who were working hard and having fun playing in the mud.
Dozens of people stopped and looked at the priest.
"Let me do it."
Su Yun shook his head.
The tribesmen felt embarrassed and ashamed when they heard this.
A white light appeared in Su Yun's hand, and the tribesmen's faces were lifted, showing envious expressions.
This is the power given by God, and each of them is full of desire for this power.
The white light penetrated under the clay.
Then, a scene that violated the laws of physics appeared, and the clay floated up.
Exclamations continued to ring out.
Su Yun ignored them and focused his attention on the clay. Recalling the appearance of the pottery jars he had seen before, he thought about it and the clay began to deform.
Following his thoughts, driven by the white light, the clay slowly turned into exquisite and beautiful pottery jars.
Wrapped in the white light, nine pottery jar embryos were floating.
Looking at the exquisite pottery jars in Su Yun's hands, the tribesmen subconsciously looked down at the strange things in their hands, and they all became embarrassed.
Compared with the priests, theirs is really mud.
These pottery jar embryos are amazing, and some careful people have found that the shapes of these pottery jars are more beautiful than those of the Fire God Tribe. I don't know where they are.
"The next step is to air them." Su Yun pondered.
Thinking of this, he looked up.
The sky was clear and the golden sunlight at noon was shining down. However, this was the autumn sun. Although the sunlight was a little hot, it was not too hot.
"It's a bit slow..."
It was unknown how long it would take to dry them.
Thinking of this, he scanned the sunlight, and suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, and an idea came to his mind.
"Try it!"
Su Yun concentrated his mind on the sunlight, and with an inexplicable feeling, he commanded in his mind, "Gather!"
