Dare to cook

Chapter 79 Pottery DIY
When the curly-haired man heard Zhao Jingxi say that he wanted to experience pottery DIY, he said with a smile:
"I am the owner of this store, my name is Huang Xuan."

"If you want to experience the fun of pottery making, we have ready-made clay for casting and shaping."

"The shapes you make by hand, we will help dry and fire them in the shade."

Zhao Jingxi is a senior pottery lover.

Upon hearing this, she asked, "How long does it take you to burn the kiln? Do you use an electric kiln?"

The shopkeeper nodded:

"Yes, now for the sake of environmental protection, everyone basically uses electric kilns."

"I have one large electric kiln and two small electric kilns here. If you just make tea sets and cups, you can use a small electric kiln to fire for more than ten hours."

The process of making ceramics is complicated, at least a lot more complicated than cooking.

The general pottery production process is divided into:

There are nine stages of pottery clay, clay stacking, blank drawing, blank printing, blank trimming, water spraying, blank drawing, and kiln firing.

If further subdivided, these nine stages can be divided into 72 processes.

Both pottery clay and stacking clay are processes for making porcelain clay.

When making ceramic crafts, kaolin clay, which has a relatively strong viscosity, is usually used.

The two processes of clay making and clay stacking are important processes for turning clay into clay.

Only when the soil has been turned into clay can it be used for casting.

Drawing is also called billet.

As the name suggests, clay can be made into the shape you want.

Most pottery DIY is actually to let people experience the fun of drawing and painting the two steps.

Blank drawing is to make shapes, and drawing blanks is to draw pictures on the finished shapes.

In addition, the non-moving process is not suitable for laymen to experience, and other processes do not have much experience value.

Zhao Jingxi is very knowledgable, she and the shopkeeper had a brief chat and then negotiated the price.

Then, the owner asked the clerk to move out the prefabricated clay from the storage room, and provided Yao Yu and the others with a small stool and a casting machine.

Yao Yu and other rough men are not very interested in pottery DIY.

But seeing Zhao Jingxi, Lu Chenyu and the others were in high spirits, they sat down and played with each other for a while.

Soon, the shopkeeper distributed clay and water to everyone.

A clerk sister paper also brought aprons for everyone.

Everyone fastened their aprons, put two kilograms of pottery clay on the drawing machine, and then started drawing under the guidance of the clerk.

When pulling the billet, while supporting the constantly rotating clay, slowly use your fingers to make an opening from the top of the clay.

When shaping clay shapes, you have to pour some water on it from time to time to maintain viscosity and humidity.

Zhao Jingxi and Lu Chenyu obviously have a foundation in pottery.

There is no need for the owner to point and demonstrate.

The two of them quickly used the drawing machine to shape the vase out of the clay.

The approach looks very professional.

Song Ziyi, Yao Chan, and Zhao Fangqing are also very talented, and they can basically learn it easily, and they have each made some prototypes of utensils.

Compared with the concentration of the girls, the craftsmanship of the rough men is much worse.

Simple shapes such as clay pots and flower pots were suddenly made into strange shapes such as toilets, honeycombs, and cow dung.

In comparison, Yao Yu played well.

It took about four to five minutes for this product to make a round bowl shape.

Well, it's the round bowl that Fahai holds in his hand to collect demons.

Yao Yu finished the round bowl, looked around, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's no fun to make a blank like this. I said, who of you will imitate the part of the movie "The Love of Humans and Ghosts!"

In the movie "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts", there is a scene where a husband and wife interlock their fingers and make pottery casting together, which is very classic.

Many lovers who have watched that film can't help but imitate it when they experience pottery DIY.

As soon as Yao Yu said this, Yang Rui, Zhao Fenyang and others booed, "Good idea, why don't you and Lu Chenyu play a part?"

Yao Yu waited for this sentence, looked at Lu Chenyu and said with a smile: "I'm fine, but I don't know what Miss Chen Yu wants?"

Lu Chenyu glared at Yao Yu, who had a hippie smile: "I think you and Yang Rui are more suitable for acting!"

"That's right, with a man and a man, it's not tiring to work!" The other girls also booed.

Yao Yu is not gay, so of course he will not play in the mud with Yang Rui.

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"Why don't we decide by drawing lots, and there is no distinction between men and women. Whoever wins by drawing lots will act in this segment."

When others heard this, they also thought it was a good idea.

"Row!"

"That's no problem!"

"The lottery is the lottery, anyway, my luck has always been good!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Yao Yu asked the shopkeeper for help and asked him to write some notes for drawing lots.

The shop owner is also a young man, so he went to prepare with a smile.

After a while, he came over with a large plate, and there were rolled up notes on the plate.

Yao Yu and the others each took one.

In the end, Yang Rui and Zhao Fenyang were unfortunately drawn, and their faces immediately turned green:
"Damn! What kind of luck!"

"What's the point of the two men acting as a couple, let's catch it again!"

The others were overjoyed and laughed loudly:
"I'm willing to gamble and admit defeat, don't go back on my word!"

"Yang Rui, Zhao Fenyang, if you are a man, hurry up and start the show!"

Yao Yu even smiled miserably: "You two, hurry up and get into good shape, and I'll play the music for you!"

As he spoke, he quickly searched for the movie episode called "Unchained Melody".

"Oh my love, my darling..."

A familiar and classic melody sounded.

Seeing the faces of Yang Rui and Zhao Fenyang, everyone burst out laughing.

At this moment, Yang Rui wanted to strangle Yao Yu to death.

Zhao Fenyang saw that other people wanted to shoot with mobile phones, and immediately protested: "Acting is fine, but you are not allowed to shoot! If anyone takes a picture, I will turn against him!"

"Don't worry, we won't shoot!"

"Yes, yes, we are just checking the time with our mobile phones, and we promise not to take pictures!"

A group of people laughed happily.

Yang Rui and Zhao Fenyang had no choice but to "humiliatingly" complete the plot interpretation of "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts".

It was originally a very affectionate and heartwarming classic episode, but when they made such a fuss, it was almost full of laughter.

A few girls laughed so loudly that they almost couldn't straighten up.

After laughing and laughing, Yang Rui and Zhao Fenyang were not in the mood to do pottery anymore.

After others completed their works one after another, everyone left the pottery shop.

The freshly made clay model needs to be dried for half a day before it can be fired in the kiln.

Including the express delivery time, it would be at least four or five days before Yao Yu and the others received the pottery they made.

After leaving the pottery shop, everyone returned to the other garden of Song Ziyi's house.

The villa of Song Ziyi's family is located at the east end of Meijiawu Village. It is a villa with a very antique style.

The lawn in the backyard of the Song family villa is very neatly trimmed.

At this time, the sky is completely clear, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled in the evening wind, leisurely and leisurely.

Tonight's barbecue will use ingredients and seasonings, and Song Ziyi has already called the villa's servants to prepare them.

Yao Yu and his group are all efficient chefs, and it's easy to handle a small barbecue dinner.

It didn't take long for everyone to process the ingredients.

Colorful lights were lit in the backyard of the villa, and bursts of tantalizing aroma came from the barbecue grill.

Yao Yu and Chen Li played a guest role as a Uyghur boy grilling mutton skewers.

Guo Chaoyi skillfully grilled the fish beside him.

Lu Chenyu, Yao Chan and other girls arranged the tableware.

Zhu Xingchen and Zhao Fenyang also took down the fine wine and cakes on Yao Yu's car.

At this time, Yang Rui and Liu Junshu also finished playing with the audio equipment outside.

The music started, and everyone sat down one after another.

This barbecue dinner for Zhao Jingxi's birthday officially started...
