He burned two more cellars of charcoal and sealed all the ventilation holes to let the charcoal cool down naturally.
Zhou Ye brought Wukong to the beach and kept the fish cage. The harvest today wasn't too good. There were only three pitiful fish.
Zhou Ye sighed as he looked at the three small fish. As expected, he wasn't so lucky every time. This time, he only caught three fish.
When he returned to the camp with the fish, the sky had already begun to darken.
Zhou Ye roasted all three fish for the day and had a good meal with Wukong. He was prepared to take a good rest.
After a busy day and having close contact with the wild boar, not only was Zhou Ye physically tired, but his heart was also tired.
Lying on the bed, Zhou Ye was thinking about how to deal with the wild boar.
Perhaps he was too tired today, but Zhou Ye fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.
The night was silent. The next morning, Zhou Ye woke up and washed up with Wukong.
After breakfast, Zhou Ye cleared out all the charcoal from the four cellars that he had burned yesterday. He placed the whole piece of charcoal in a pile.
The amount of charcoal that was cleared out this time was also very impressive. There were about 140 kilograms of charcoal in the fourth cellar. Including the charcoal in the first cellar, Zhou Ye had stored almost 200 kilograms of charcoal.
Zhou Ye was very satisfied when he saw the pile of charcoal. It seemed like he only needed to burn two more pits of charcoal today. He would have enough charcoal to make pottery.
"F * ck! What do you think the streamer is doing by burning so much charcoal?”
"Yeah, I don't get it at all. The streamer has already baked a lot of them, but I don't see what the streamer can do!”
The audience in the livestream watched Zhou Ye making charcoal. However, they didn't see Zhou Ye doing anything with the charcoal.
"Do you think the host is crazy? Every day, he would work himself half to death to make these useless charcoal.”
"Maybe the streamer has some great use? Even though the streamer was sometimes confusing, she had never done anything useless.”
The audience in the live broadcast room was very puzzled by Zhou Ye's act of burning charcoal. They were guessing if Zhou Ye had nothing better to do or if he had some new use for it.
Zhou Ye placed the burnt charcoal back into the basket and walked towards the small mound.
This time, Zhou Ye brought Wukong along. Wukong's injuries were almost healed and he didn't need to apply any more medicine.
Along the way, Zhou Ye and Wu Kong chatted. The man and monkey walked on the road.
When they arrived at the small mound, Zhou Ye asked Wukong to stay alert nearby to prevent the wild boar from suddenly appearing again.
This time, with Wukong on guard, Zhou Ye could focus on digging. Soon, he had dug a basket full of clay and brought it back to the camp.
This digging operation went very smoothly. Zhou Ye went back and forth three times and carried back three baskets of clay. He felt that this clay was enough for him to make a small cellar and use it to make pottery.
After turning the clay into mud, Zhou Ye began to use the clay to make a simple cellar on the ground. The top of the cellar wasn't sealed.
He left a gap at the top to add charcoal. At the bottom of the cellar, Zhou Ye also left a vent.
After the small cellar was completed, Zhou Ye placed some small pieces of wood into the cellar. He lit the wood and used the fire to quickly dry the cellar.
While waiting for the soil to dry up, Zhou Ye began to check the pottery he had made. He carefully checked every single one of them.
These pottery bases were all very well made, and none of them cracked.
After carefully inspecting the pottery base, Zhou Ye prepared to fire the pottery. Originally, these pottery bases needed to be dried in the shade for more than a month. However, Zhou Ye didn't have the time to wait for these pottery bases to dry completely.
If the pottery base wasn't completely dried in the shade, it would easily crack when it was fired. However, Zhou Ye didn't fire many of them at once, so he didn't care too much about this.
As long as the ceramic base was dry, it could be fired.
After the audience in the live streaming room saw Zhou Ye's actions, they started to get excited again.
"F * ck! Everyone, come and take a look. The streamer is going to start causing trouble again.”
When they saw Zhou Ye's small cellar, although they didn't know what Zhou Ye was going to do, they knew that Zhou Ye was definitely going to cause trouble.
Previously, they had been watching Zhou Ye use clay to make charcoal. Now, everyone was familiar with the process of making charcoal.
The cellar that Zhou Ye was making was not the same as the one that was used to make charcoal. Everyone could tell from the appearance alone.
The current cellar was located outside a reserved vent. It was completely like a big pot made of soil.
The entire appearance was a cylinder made of soil. Other than the top being a little small, it was a cylinder from the outside.
Now that Zhou Ye had created something like this, no one knew what it was used for. They were completely dumbfounded.
Zhou Ye waited until the fire in the cellar was completely extinguished before he checked the situation in the cellar. Although the temperature in the cellar was still very high, Zhou Ye endured the high temperature and checked carefully.
Zhou Ye carefully inspected the cellar inch by inch. He checked the condition of the cellar. This cellar was used to make pottery.
No cracks could be allowed. If cracks were found now and not treated properly, the high temperature of the charcoal might completely burn down the earth cellar when the pottery was baked.
Once the earth cellar collapsed, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
If the pottery was not successfully baked, he would not be able to get the pottery pot, and he would not be able to carry out his later plans.
As he endured the high temperature, Zhou Ye checked the cellar carefully. The cellar was not bad. There were no cracks at all.
When the temperature of the cellar dropped a little, Zhou Ye placed a thin branch into the cellar and poured some charcoal on top of it.
Then, he placed the clay base in a clay pot and covered the entire clay base with charcoal. Zhou Ye didn't light the fire first. Instead, he used the remaining heat in the cellar to heat up the clay base.
There was still a little moisture in the pottery. He could not use high temperature to roast it at the beginning, or it would shatter very quickly.
While Zhou Ye was waiting for the pottery to heat up, he didn't stay idle. He took a thin wooden stick and used the stone spear to cut a cross-shaped hole on the end of the wooden stick.
Then, Zhou Ye cut off two large and hard palm leaves. He crossed them and placed them into the cross-shaped gap. He used a thin rope to tie the opening of the wooden stick tightly.
With this simple fan, it was much more convenient to increase the firepower of the small cellar.
Zhou Ye used clay to make the outer shell of a fan. He also used clay to make a ventilation pipe to connect the fan to the ventilation hole of the cellar.
After all the preparations were done, the temperature of the cellar dropped. Zhou Ye was ready to start the fire.
While Zhou Ye was busy, the audience in the livestream also noticed something.
"Sigh, is the host trying to burn mud to play with?”
