showdown!I enjoy life on the island

Meng Yiyi's face was full of doubts: "Is that our current campfire, the temperature is not enough..."

"The temperature at which firewood is fired can actually reach the minimum standard for firing pottery."

Xu Le explained while RUA Bird's Nest, "But an open-air campfire is easily affected by factors such as air flow."

"So although the temperature can reach the standard, it is unstable. It is still a little bit reluctant to use it to fire pottery."

Meng Yiyi rubbed Xu Le's hand with her head.

"Thighs know a lot!"

Lin Xihan pulled Silly Baitian back silently.

It's not your Xiao Hei... What a mess... She gave Xu Le a sideways look.

In the shady ground in the distance, the little black tail fluttered in a ball with Heixu.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"Ah, so you worked so hard to make such a beautiful pot blank, can't you fire it..."

"Pity."

"Hehe, since Mr. Xu Le started making clay pots, he must have considered the firing method."

Xu Le met Lin Xihan's gaze.

Ask me, ask me... Xu Le grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.

Bad guys...you can't help it...Lin Xihan was scratched by curiosity: "Do you have a solution?"

"Wow."

Xu Le narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Smaller bowls can be built in a small pocket stone kiln in the middle of the campfire."

"The product will be brittle and the color will be uneven, but it's no problem to use it together."

"As for the big jars..."

Lin Xihan also squinted her big beautiful eyes and raised her fist slightly.

"Oh..." Xu Le put it away as soon as it was ready, "The big pot can be converted into a ventilated furnace with a steamer."

"Ventilation stove?" Lin Xihan's narrowed eyes widened again.

"Ventilated stove?" Meng Yiyi tilted the bird's nest head.

Then Xu Le stopped answering what they said.

"Build a small pocket stone kiln first."

He twisted his waist to avoid the long legs kicked by Lin Xihan.

The lines with tight muscles are great... In fact, it's not a loss to be kicked by such long legs...

Xu Le divided some of the firewood from the campfire, and built a small, short stove with a height of [-] centimeters and a square of [-] centimeters with stones thick in the palm of his hand.

The white mud bowl blanks were placed side by side in the small stone kiln, and the fire was covered back again.

Start firing!

"Then the vent furnace."

Xu Le cut the thatch with a stone axe, took ordinary soil, added water and mud, and then added the thatch section into the mud.

After reaching the required level, based on the steam oven built with stones, knead long strips with mud and wrap them layer by layer on the outside of the steam oven.

"The mud mixed with thatch will have a stronger texture, just like reinforced concrete for construction."

"Easy to build high, and not easy to fall apart."

"Thigh thigh, what can we help with?" Meng Yiyi eagerly asked.

Xu Le looked back at a white skin and a black skin: "Help me make the mud. The ventilated furnace has to be built more than 1.5 meters, and there is a lot of mud used."

……

In Shanghai, a tea room decorated with huanghuali wood.

An authentic work by Mi Fu hangs in the center of the small room.

In front of the sea of ​​golden nanmu tea, several people are sitting side by side, tasting the exquisite Dahongpao produced in Kowloon.

Boss Meng leaned on one side of the carved dragon chair, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Mr. Meng..." Everyone in front of the tea sea stopped and turned to ask respectfully.

"It's okay, you continue."

Boss Meng wiped his face and held his cell phone.On the phone, Meng Yiyi was pounding a ball of mud.

Chapter 84 is not an ancient meaning but an ancient rhyme!

"Master Meng seems to be in a good mood these two days?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with gray hair combed back in front of the tea sea.

"Master Meng is in a good mood, that's something worth celebrating."

Another thin middle-aged man laughed, "Why don't I loosen my hands so that the families in Southeast Asia can live a little longer and have more fun?"

"It doesn't have to be."

Next to the skinny middle-aged man, a smiling thin old man said, "It's not a bad idea to stand in the wrong team, to help the bad guys, to help the country of Tajikistan stop the chips going north."

"Now it's just letting them go bankrupt, so why don't you count as being merciful to Mr. Xiao?"

The thin middle-aged Mr. Xiao nodded, took a sip of the Nine Dragons Dahongpao, and sighed:

"Sure enough, the tea from the mother plant is the most delicious. It's a pity that the tea that leaks to us is only two or three liang a year, which is not enough to drink."

"Since old brother Chang Qin said so, our plan will remain as usual."

"Master Meng, what do you think?"

Boss Meng, who was holding a mobile phone, didn't even raise his head reluctantly: "Play as you like."

The skinny old man Chang Qin said with a smile: "Why don't you know that Master Meng still likes to watch these short videos now? Follow the trend of young people?"

Boss Meng didn't deny it, swiped his phone a few times, released a screenshot and handed it over.

"see this."

Chang Qin took it with both hands, and several people sitting side by side looked up at the screenshots on Mr. Meng's phone at the same time.

"It's just a few clay jars. There's nothing to see."

Chang Qin smiled, "Mr. Meng likes these things recently? There are quite a few in Professor Xue's research institute."

"Look again." Mr. Meng said.

The middle-aged man with gray hair brushed back was Professor Xue. He simply took the phone and enlarged the screenshot.

"Aren't these jars from Yangshao? They are not on display, how did Master Meng get the photos?"

After a pause, Professor Xue frowned, "It's not the original...is it a new one?"

"Who has this ability, the restoration is so vivid!"

Mr. Xiao took a sip of tea and said, "Make jars like cats and tigers, why should Brother Xue make such a fuss?"

Professor Xue frowned even tighter: "It's hard to paint a tiger's skin."

"It's easy to imitate the shape of these ancient relics, but difficult to take away their spirit. These jars are not simple. Where did Mr. Meng see them?"

The corner of Mr. Meng's mouth rose slightly: "Survival on a deserted island."

"Survival on a deserted island? This jar couldn't have been dug out from Bermuda!"

Mr. Meng said slowly: "You also said that it is a new work."

"The person who did this, studio 97, Xu Le."

"Yiyi is with him."

Professor Xue enlarged the screenshot, and said eagerly: "The archaeological team has unearthed several batches of ancient pottery in succession over the years, but the damage is very high."

"Existing experts have encountered a lot of trouble in repairing it."

"This Xu Le... If he is willing to participate in the restoration work, it will be of great help to make up for the shortcomings of the archaeological field!"

Xiao Sanye questioned: "Isn't it...a research institute with the power of the whole country, there are so many Big Dippers on Mount Tai, why do you need to be so fancy about a brat?"

Professor Xue shook his head: "You don't understand. Gu Tao's charm is far from perfect, and this Xu Le has a great talent!"

"To put it bluntly, Master Meng, with this skill, he is already much stronger than your prospective son-in-law surnamed Li!"

"Isn't he with Yiyi? Cultivate feelings!"

"Pfft..." Boss Meng spewed out a mouthful of tea all the way.

……

"Ah..."

Who is talking about me behind my back... Xu Le broke off a crooked piece of mud in distress.

"Help me change one."

He removed the broken mud strip and threw it aside, took a new one from Lin Xihan, and put it in the gap at the top.

The height of the ventilated furnace wall surrounding the steam furnace is already close to Xu Le's design value.

The 1.5-meter-high furnace almost reached his chest.

The stove is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. The bottom has been expanded to a width of more than fifty centimeters, and the top has been narrowed to a width of more than thirty centimeters.

About ten centimeters above the base, there is a wide opening with a diameter of twenty centimeters, and the burning firewood piled up inside can be seen.

The orange-yellow flame kept dancing.

After building the top, Xu Le coiled mud strips to form a ventilation pipe with the same diameter as the opening at the bottom.

The ventilation pipe is 25 to [-] centimeters long, and is installed vertically into the bottom opening of the ventilation furnace. Half of the length is left on the inside and outside, and the joints are sealed with soft mud.

Through the ventilation pipe, you can see the original orange-yellow fire, but the color gradually becomes lighter until it becomes a high-temperature state close to orange-white.

"In this way, the temperature inside the ventilated furnace can be raised to more than [-] degrees Celsius and remain stable at this temperature."

"This is just wood fuel. If it is replaced with fired charcoal, the temperature may even reach [-] degrees Celsius."

"Firing pottery is enough, even if you have the conditions to make glaze, this furnace can even try firing porcelain."

Silly Baitian Meng Yiyi struggled for a while, and said, "Thighs... It seems that you haven't put the clay pot in it yet..."

Chapter 85 Burn!

Of course it was put in from above... Xu Le looked at the silly Meng Yiyi with kind eyes.

The ventilation furnace can be opened up and down.

Continue to add more fuel through the vent hole, the top of the vent furnace is hot, and the air ripples like ripples.

The temperature inside the furnace kept rising.

But because of the thick inner stone and outer mud double-layer furnace wall, even standing next to the ventilated furnace, you can't feel the heat coming out at all.

"The ability to store heat is excellent, and the internal temperature will be quite stable."

"The ventilated furnace has a long and narrow shape as a whole, so the clay pots to be fired can be stacked layer by layer."

While explaining, Xu Le wove a simple rattan basket out of soft rattan, and framed it on the protruding waist of clay pots and urns.

Rattan baskets are suspended from thick wooden poles, and clay pots are fed into the furnace through the opening at the top of the ventilated furnace.

"You don't need to worry about the rattan basket. The soft vines can also be used as part of the fuel at that time, so it won't be wasted."

The steam oven itself is divided into two layers, and the stone blocks separate the uneven ground of the bottom layer from the upper layer, and the clay pots and urns are stacked on this layer of stone blocks.

Then there are pots, plates and other utensils that are slightly smaller in size.
