After returning to the tribe, Mufeng asked people to send all the yellow clay to the cave where he lived.
He began to prepare pottery.
However, pottery making is very cumbersome and requires a lot of preparation.
He gave the machete to Ming Guang, and asked him to chop a thick piece of wood to make a drawing tool.
The so-called casting tool can be turned when making pottery to help shape it.
He first cut a column across the tree stump, and then rounded it up bit by bit with his carpenter's axe, making a disc nearly ten centimeters thick and twenty or thirty centimeters in radius.
The wood is the light dry paulownia tree trunk particularly emphasized by the wood wind, which is very light.
Then he made a round hole in the center of one side of the disc, and cut a round stick of pagoda wood with a diameter of about five or six centimeters and a length of more than half a meter, and put it in it.
In this way, the disc is supported by wooden sticks, like a small umbrella.
The last step is to place a stone about ten centimeters thick at each end, and erect a squared tree trunk on top of it. In this way, the distance between the trunk and the ground is about ten centimeters.
He dug a hole almost as thick as a locust tree stick at one end of the trunk, and then passed the end of the disc supported by the locust tree stick through the trunk.
He stretched out his hand and turned the disk, and the disk started to rotate rapidly.
"It's done!" Mu Feng nodded, and a simple self-made blanking tool was completed in this way.
But in the future, he can't make pottery, because the firing of pottery is much more cumbersome, especially the temperature requirement is extremely high when firing pottery, and the firing time is also very long, usually starting in three to five days.
All he has to do is prepare for three to five days of pottery firing.
This requires at least two things to be prepared, one is a cave for firing pottery, and the other is firewood.
In the cave, the earth kiln has the shortest heat resistance time, and the stone kiln has the longest heat resistance time.
If the cave dwelling cannot be heated, there is a risk of blowing up the kiln, which makes him particularly concerned about the heat resistance of the cave dwelling.
Although Mu Feng had made craft pottery in his previous life, he had never done pottery firing.
He vaguely remembered that when he was learning how to make pottery, the old master also told him that the quality of finished pottery depends on the quality of materials, craftsmanship and cave dwellings.
Mu Feng knew that the material was the same, and so was his own craftsmanship.
His only requirement now is that this pottery can be made, whether it looks good or not is not in his consideration for the time being.
After thinking about it, he decided to choose a mound farther away from his own cave, dig a two-meter-square cave, pile it up with stones, and paste it with muddy water to make the inside relatively smooth.
In order to prevent accidents, he piled up three layers of stones in a row, and then he was relieved.
Keep the windward and smoke outlets well, and a simple small cave dwelling is ready.
Just doing these two things, he didn't manage to do it well until the sunset.
No way, no one in the tribe knew what he was going to do, except to help him pass the materials, he couldn't get involved at all.
But this is not entirely true, at least in the afternoon, Ming Guang led a few people to follow his example and dig a bigger hole in the soil.
However, this earth cave is not used for firing kilns, but for smoking charcoal—the temperature of the kiln can only be satisfied by charcoal right now.
After dinner, Mu Feng ran non-stop to smoke charcoal.
Smoked charcoal is relatively simple, but it takes a lot of work.
Woodwind prepared the hay, lit it and put it in the soil hole, then put the prepared wood into the soil hole, watched the dry grass ignite the wood skin, and after waiting for a while, sealed the soil hole directly without leaving any gaps.
After waiting for a long time, he opened the hole in the soil and took out a stick of black charcoal.
Then it is processed according to the law, which is very hard.
Fortunately, Mufeng only demonstrated how to make the first batch of charcoal, and the next large pile of wood was handed over to Mingguang and Shuofeng.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief after finishing all this. It took him a day to find the pottery clay, and after making preparations, he could start making pottery tomorrow.
When returning to the cave, Li Hu happened to come over with two bows and let Mu Feng try his might.
Because all bows are made of a single piece, it is easy to draw the wooden wind.
What surprised him was that Li Hu told him that both bows were made by Li Hu himself. Bai Fang saw that he learned it well at the time, but he failed to make it.
Mu Feng knew it in his heart, tried it out and said: "It's not bad, but Ming Guang and Han Shu might not be used to using such a bow, the bow is too soft!"
Li Hu scratched his head: "I also tried the method of tying two or three pieces together as you mentioned, but there is a gap in the middle when fixing it, and it is not convenient to string the bow, and we haven't figured out how to fix it until now! "
"Huh?" Mu Feng frowned, "Didn't I already tell you, bind them with animal tendons."
Li Hu's expression was even more embarrassing: "I understand it too, but I just don't know what to do when I do it. Besides, I'm afraid that Yama Duo from the Blue Bird Department is also in the same situation now."
Mu Feng slapped his forehead: "Sure enough!"
The same is true for Lihu bows, so Changning must have encountered the same problem.
"Also..." Li Hu said helplessly, "If the bowstring is drawn too full, it is easy to cut your fingers. Look, my fingers have already been cut several times."
Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief first, and then sighed: "I forgot to tell you how to draw the bow, yes, there is also a release device!"
"A release device?" Li Hu was puzzled, "What release device?"
Mu Feng said helplessly: "How about this, I'll think about how to make this release device first, and then I will teach you, how about it?"
"Okay!" Feeling that Mu Feng was going to teach him to make new things again, Li Hu couldn't help but get excited.
