Chapter 89, I'm really happy.
After the pottery was successfully fired, Lin Baiyan began to arrange the pottery firing process.
Now that there are successful examples, they will definitely want to stock up on more pottery before the trading market.
The task of building the kiln and firing pottery was initially assigned to Zhu Shan and Ma Yuan, as they had experience working with Lin Baiyan on pottery kilns and were suitable to be team leaders.
Lin Baiyan then had two sub-beastmen, Yang Ye and Shu Yue, assist him. Once the pottery kiln was built, the pottery could be reused.
The first batch of pottery was made by Lin Baiyan and several male beastmen. Lin Baiyan gave each of them a pottery jar and a pottery bowl.
He himself received two bowls, a clay pot, and five clay plates.
From then on, Lin Baiyan's grand pottery-making project began. During the snowy season, when everyone had nothing else to do, most of the tribe joined the ranks of pottery makers.
The western area was immediately divided into the main areas for charcoal burning and kiln firing.
For convenience, Lin Baiyan also built a large shed next to it using bamboo, enclosed on three sides, and covered with thick stacks of dry hay, which was perfect for sheltering from the snow.
At this moment, a large earthenware pot was hanging in the shed, with fish simmering inside, bubbling away, along with dried vegetables and mushrooms.
In the cold snowy season, drinking a bowl of hot fish soup outside can warm you up completely.
Several sub-orcs gathered around the pottery cauldron, holding animal skin garments in their hands, chatting and laughing as they watched the pottery kiln burning fiercely beside them.
Lu Xiao, Hu Qingshu Yue, and several other sub-beastmen were outside the shed, throwing mud and kneading clay into pottery.
The adults were all outside, and the little cubs took the opportunity to sneak out. Several of the little cubs were eager to try their hand at playing in the mud.
While the deer was distracted, the wolfwood stealthily slapped its paw into the mud.
Touching the soft texture, it subconsciously retracted its claws, then slid all four paws inside.
Hu Qing grabbed Lang Mu by the scruff of his neck and lifted the wolf cub up, placing it in front of him. "Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble?"
Wolfwood chuckled, "We can help too!"
At this moment, several cubs, seeing that the adults were not paying attention to them, stepped into the mud.
Lu Xiao was about to collapse, "You guys get away from me right now!"
Even when they were in human form, these little cubs rushed into the mud in their beast form. He couldn't even imagine how much work it would take to wash them!
Several of the pups still have fur, and if they're not dried properly, they'll definitely get hot!
Upon hearing Lu Xiao's angry roar, Hu Yue quickly gave his companions a meaningful look.
They hunched their necks and sheepishly extended their paws, carefully observing Lu Xiao's expression. They retreated step by step, then turned and ran!
At this moment, Langmu also struggled to escape from Huqing's grasp. The little cub made a face at Huqing and then ran away quickly.
Cat Summer and Wolf Rain were well-behaved. The two little guys transformed into human form and sat there obediently kneading a small piece of clay that Tiger Green had given them.
Sometimes they molded it into a ceramic bowl, sometimes into a ceramic jar.
They looked quite professional; some of their creations were even better than those made by adults.
Lin Baiyan walked over at this moment and squatted down next to the little cubs. Xia, the kitten, held up a sugar bowl she had just made and presented it to Lin Baiyan. "Brother Baiyan, look at the little bowl Xia made, isn't it pretty?"
Wolf Rain retorted, not to be outdone, "And me too, and the plates made by Rain!"
Lin Baiyan took the two children's artwork, examined it carefully, and then gently returned it to them.
He patted their little heads and praised, "Great job, you did a beautiful job. Hu Qing will put them in the kiln to be fired in a while, and they'll be your own."
Hearing Lin Baiyan say that, the little ones cheered and squeezed even harder.
Just then, Wolfwood, who was very happy after playing around, was about to lead his friends to find the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken to see if they had laid any eggs when they bumped into Wolf Cloud, who was walking towards them.
Wolf Cloud's face darkened as he looked at the cubs, whose paws were covered in mud and whose faces were filthy. "Where have you been causing trouble again?"
Wolfwood noticed a fleeting hint of guilt in Wolf Cloud's eyes. What was going on? Didn't Brother Wolf Cloud just go to see Brother Wolf Cang?
At this moment, Lang Cang walked out from behind Lang Yun. When Lang Mu saw Lang Cang, he covered his wolf face with his paws.
finished...
Wolf Cang looked down at the filthy cubs and narrowed his eyes. "Looks like they haven't been trained enough. Wolf Cloud, go to the waterfall and take them to wash up, then they can jump over the stone pillars."
With so much energy, it's good to expend it a little.
These stone pillars were developed by Lin Baiyan. Based on the fitness equipment on Blue Star, a stone pillar was placed at regular intervals, with just enough space for an orc's four legs to stand on.
He said it was used to train balance.
After trying it a few times, Lang Cang felt that this thing was very practical and decisively added it to the training program for the male beastmen.
"You have to jump at least ten times."
Ouch~
The wolfwood withered instantly, drooping its head listlessly, sprawling on the ground like a wolf pancake, blinking its eyes with utter despair.
"Understood, Brother Cang." Wolf Cloud replied, then led the cubs, who had suddenly become docile, toward the waterfall.
Before leaving, he turned his head and looked into the shed, where he saw the two little guys, Maoxia and Langyu, playing obediently together in the mud.
Wolf Cloud breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, there was someone who was easy to take care of.
He turned to look at these troublesome little cubs, "They don't try to help, they're just causing trouble every day!"
"Brother Lang Cang just said he'd finished practicing, let's add five more rounds!"
"Awoo~" Got it—
I knew there would be other punishments.
Wolfwood mentally grumbled, then rolled over and stood up, leading his underlings to follow him to be punished.
It has to be said that he's incredibly thick-skinned and doesn't learn his lesson easily. He admits his mistake this time, but he'll do it again next time!
After dealing with the cubs, Lang Cang saw Lin Baiyan squatting next to the shed from afar, and he walked over to Lin Baiyan.
Lin Baiyan is opening a new kiln. They have been firing quite a few pieces of pottery in the past few days. He has also modified the shape of the kiln, moving the entrance and exit of the pottery to the side for easier access.
Lin Baiyan looked at the newly fired earthenware pot with satisfaction.
The soil used this time was dug from the sweet potato mountain, and it has better adhesion, resulting in pottery that is much sturdier than before.
Now there are more and more pottery items in the tribe, and basically every orc's home has several pottery bowls and jars.
Lin Baiyan even replaced all his tableware with ceramic ones, finally getting rid of the stone slabs.
Lang Cang hadn't expected that firing pottery would be so simple. Looking at these pottery pieces, he was reminded of the beating he had received years ago, and his eyes held a hint of resentment.
I wonder if the old priest who returned to the side of the Beast God will still cherish his few pottery bowls so much after he knows how simple pottery making is.
