The tiles need to be baked with a bonfire and dried before they can be burned.

The whole process will take at least two days.

In order to speed up the project progress, Lin Feng added a lot of fire to the fire and first made the bonfire bigger.

Then he stood up, inserted twenty wooden strips around the fire, and leaned all the tiles on them.

"When baking mud, don't be too close. The distance should be moderate. If it is too close, it will easily crack."

In the live broadcast room, the audience suddenly remembered as they looked at the tiles surrounding them.

"Mystery, can you recognize this formation?"

"Hunyuan asks for rain, break!"

"I expect that next time I live broadcast, Feng Ye will build a high-speed rail with bare hands!"

“2333333”

After a while, I started to make the second batch.

With experience and proficiency, Lin Feng's tiles are naturally faster and faster.

In the picture, his hands are raised and mud fall, looking like a bricklayer who has been in the industry for many years!

Printing the blank, drilling holes, and taking molds, one set of processes will take only five or six minutes, and it is done quite perfectly.

Throughout the whole morning, three batches of tiles, totaling 55 pieces, were all completed, but only 42 pieces were dried.

In addition, there are two tiles that cracked during baking and cannot be entered into the kiln.

afternoon.

Lin Feng built a simple thatched shed for storing and drying these tiles.

The straw shed is two floors.

You can put firewood below and tiles above, killing two birds with one stone.

"I made 55 tiles in one morning. To be honest, I was a little tired and wanted to have a sleep and slowly."

Sitting on the city wall, he looked into the sky and murmured to himself, "But it's a pity that time is not waiting for me, and I still can't relax."

"The afternoon work is to build a kiln. If you still have time, make some small things. My bamboo tube is so old that it is time to renew it."

After saying that, he jumped off the wall and returned to the hut to eat something. Then he came to the fire again and put the last batch of tiles into the shed.

"Kilns are cave kilns that make pottery. Our country is the earliest country in the world to produce earthenware products using kilns. Primitive kilns already existed as early as 3000 BC."

"Kilns are of many uses. They can not only fire tiles, but also fire pots and pottery bowls. This ancient utensil technology is the unique cultural label of China in the world."

"Before firing the tiles, I'm going to try to burn a set of earthenware to practice my hands and see how it works!"

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard this, they were stunned:

“666, China is awesome!”

"Damn, this is the rhythm of making pots and pans. Mom, I have to kneel down and play with my phone again!"

"It's so satisfying!"

"Earth OL high-end player!"

Lin Feng smiled, but did not speak, but walked to the bonfire, sat down, took a large ball of soil, and threw it on the stone slab.

Bang!

Then, he flattened the mud ball and placed it into a round mud cake with a diameter of about 40 cm and a thickness of about 7 cm.

Immediately afterwards, the index fingers of both hands moved alternately and poked many honeycomb holes on it.

"Everyone, what I am making now is the furnace head of the earth kiln, also called the furnace grille, which is placed at the bottom of the kiln. When firing, flames will spray out from these honeycomb holes to make the temperature more concentrated."

"Don't underestimate this grille. It can increase the temperature in the kiln several times instantly. At its peak, it can reach seven or eight hundred degrees!"

After saying that, Lin Feng showed off the prepared round cake stove under the camera.

"Weapon Master, is it you?"

"No, I am Master Yi!"

"Damn, brothers, I have a bold idea!"

"I also want to go to the Northeast to play with mud!"

"You deserve to have a 10,000-person clay-made chicken cup!"

“Damn, upstairs 6666”

When drying the stove, Lin Feng picked up a wooden stick and chose a loose soil and easy to dig in the area beside the camp and near the woods, and prepared to make a furnace passage with a "well" shape.

The tic-tac furnace path has four sides, each with two ditches, which can be used to add firewood.

The place where the furnace passages cross is hollow.

Lin Feng placed four stones around it, built clay, and supported the furnace grille.

"If you find it troublesome, it is OK to build a single furnace channel, but the efficiency is not high and the temperature rises slowly, so it is better to get more furnace channels faster."

After placing the stove, he picked up a large ball of clay prepared in advance, built a circle around the stove, and laid the bottom of the kiln.

After that, just build upwards along the bottom of the kiln.

It progresses layer by layer, like a tired chimney.

Half an hour later, a cylindrical simple earth kiln appeared in front of the audience!

The diameter of the earth kiln is about half a meter and the height is 80 cm.

The kiln wall is as wide as half a palm.

The grille at the bottom has almost 20 holes, which is enough.

Not to mention burning tiles and pottery, even burning Roman bricks is competent.

"666, it's interesting!"

"In broad daylight, the anchor dares to spread rumors?"

"You only have a lot of plays upstairs!"

"Is this the legendary kiln? I like..."

“23333”

After resting for ten minutes, Lin Feng ate some food. When the earth kiln was almost drying, he took the fire and lit the firewood that had been placed in the furnace channel in advance.

The next second, as the fire grew bigger and bigger, the fireworks spewed out of the honeycomb hole and burned more and more vigorously.

"The newly built kiln needs to be burned for a while. Taking advantage of this time, I will prepare some pottery, then burn it to see how the soil is, and then burn the tiles. In this way, it can be safer. Even if the pottery is burned, it doesn't matter. It can be used as clinker."

After saying that, he added some firewood into the furnace passage, turned around and came to the workbench, took out a large ball of clay, slapped it on the stone slab, and began to knead it.

"There are many shapes of pottery, including cooking utensils, diet utensils, storage utensils, etc."

"I'm going to make some pottery pots and pottery bowls to hold water and cook food. Cutting bamboo tubes is thankless and consumes too quickly."

"A regular bamboo tube will crack if it is burned three or four times at most, but the pottery is different and it can be used for a long time."

While talking, Lin Feng had already pinched a disc-shaped base.

A wide edge is built around it.

Immediately afterwards, he rubbed a mud and surrounded it on the wide edge of the base, just in full circle.

"The clay pot is the same as the kiln. It is like this, circles upwards, and it is surrounded by cylindrical shape bit by bit."

"This can ensure that the clay pot shape is uniform to the greatest extent. It is not only beautiful in shape, but also very suitable for firing and not easy to crack."

"On the contrary, if you don't do this, you will rely entirely on your own feelings. One is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the other is that when firing, the surface will be heated unevenly and the kiln will occur."

After saying that, Lin Feng pulled down a small ball of clay, rolled it into strips, and surrounded it on the base.

Every time he sticks one, he dips some water from the clam shell to make the mud strips and the surface of the pottery more evenly, thereby accelerating the hardening of the earthenware.

Repeat this and move upwards in turn.

Soon, a cylindrical clay pot appeared in front of everyone.
Chapter completed!
