For three days, everyone looked forward to it. After three days, they immediately sealed the entrance to the cave where they added firewood.
We'll have to wait a few more days until the temperature inside naturally drops to its normal level.
To make inspection easier, You Ran made a small hole next to it; by simply removing the stone, one could see what was inside.
Luo Bai even planned to go out a little later for this day.
Huang Yu moved the stone aside and looked inside. It was dark, and there was no heat coming out. She reached in and touched it, but there was no heat at all.
"That should do it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited and immediately began to dig open the cave dwelling.
Mu Youran was the first to go in. It was indeed no longer warm inside, but some of the adobe bricks had still burned.
She picked up a cup she had made herself, examined it, and saw that there were no cracks. Then she picked up another cup next to her, and the two cups clinked together, making a crisp clanging sound.
"It's done!"
She excitedly shouted outside, "It's a success!"
The cave was small, only able to accommodate three people at a time, but upon hearing her cry, everyone squeezed in!
Only then did Caixia realize what they had been doing!
I was quite surprised to see this red pottery.
"This is pottery!"
The clan chief held a large basin in his hand, looked it over from left to right, and then shook his head.
"No, this isn't pottery. It's finer than pottery, and it even seems harder!"
Mu Youran smiled and said, "This is pottery, just maybe a little better made than the ones we use at home."
After all, it's made of clay, so it's impossible to fire it into porcelain. Porcelain requires kaolin clay, and the raw materials are completely different.
Even if the temperature is high, clay will still only produce pottery when fired.
Hearing You Ran say this, the clan leader nodded. It was true. The red color was the same as the one at home, only it was finer and harder.
The group worked together carefully to remove all the intact pottery pieces. They then poured water into the pots to test them, and only after confirming that there were no problems did they feel relieved.
"OMG, we actually did it!"
Xiao Mei was so excited that she danced around. It took her quite a while to finish.
She no longer needs to wait until winter to trade in Yunmengze to get pottery.
He smiled and said, "You Ran, can I exchange some pottery with you?"
Not only was she tempted, but Caixia was also very tempted. This was pottery, and its bright red color was so pleasing to the eye!
I made fewer pottery pieces this time, and even fewer were successfully fired.
It's not suitable for trading at all; it's just enough for our needs.
Moreover, without the help of Aoyama and Kome, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish it so quickly.
"Today, each of you should choose two items, one large and one small."
Xiaomei happily reached out and grabbed the earthenware pot and bowl she had wanted for a long time.
Caixia: "Thank you, Youran. I'll bring you the animal hide later!"
She knew very well that Xiaomei had helped, while she hadn't helped at all and had gotten two pottery pieces for nothing, which was completely unfair.
Mu Youran smiled and picked up the red pottery figurine: "This is a gift from you, consider it an exchange for pottery."
In her opinion, these little figures were more valuable than pottery jars or anything like that; the three little figures looked adorable.
Even people who are in a bad mood will feel better after just one look.
Caixia felt a little embarrassed by what she said.
"That's worthless, just a few mud figures."
Mu Youran shook her head: "I don't think so. I really like this. It's worth the price!"
"Besides, you're so good at sculpting clay, you'll have to come and help us make pottery next time."
Since things had come to this point, Caixia didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll make pottery for you from now on!"
The clan chief was very pleased to see the pottery scattered all over the ground.
"Great! Our tribe can exchange pottery this year!"
Mu Youran took out a ceramic jar filled with water and handed it to him: "Father, this is for you. It's much lighter than that stone jar for holding water!"
"Hehe, then I won't be polite!"
The clan chief took the pottery, patted it with satisfaction, and the pleasant sound became more and more soothing to listen to.
There were still quite a few plates, bowls, basins, and jars left.
This was the first batch of items to come out of the kiln. Mu Youran took out the things she could use first, and there was one basin left.
With a wave of his hand, he gave it directly to Qingshan. His family was large, so one more basin wouldn't make a difference.
Besides, Qingshan has been busy with all this since the mud was dug.
The clan chief looked at Mu Youran with satisfaction; she was surprisingly not petty at all.
If it were any other female, she would probably be eager to possess all these pottery pieces and then sell them for a high price.
"You Ran, you're in charge of this pottery making entirely. Other orcs will have to buy it from you if they want it!"
"However, could you offer a discount for your own tribe members?"
Mu Youran laughed when she heard this. The clan leader was still the same clan leader, wholeheartedly seeking benefits for the Sunset Tribe.
"Father, don't worry, I know what to do. As long as they use it themselves, I'll definitely give them a discount."
"After this, I want to burn more, and I also want to go to Yunmengze for fun in winter."
"That's great! We'll have Huang Yu and Luo Bai go with you then!"
The clan chief was eager for her to go out and see more of the world, and it would be even better if she learned some other skills.
Their lives will be even better from now on.
After dividing the pottery, Huang Yu, Qingshan, and the clan chief personally took out the burnt pottery blanks from the kiln.
