Jiujiu couldn't help but reveal a happy smile when she saw that the orcs were responding to her call. She said, "Actually, the raw material of these things is very simple. It's the soil that we commonly see."
Many orcs revealed looks of disbelief when they heard Jiujiu say that such good things were made from soil. After all, although the color of the utensils looked a little strange, it was hard and waterproof. Soil would melt away when it was put in water. It didn't look like a thing at all. Therefore, they didn't believe Jiujiu when she said that the raw material of the porcelain was mud.
In response, Jiujiu directly took some of the clay that she used to make porcelain. Then, she made a few pots like the one she made earlier in front of all the orcs and started firing them in front of all the orcs.
Although they were a little confused by Jiujiu's sudden action of throwing the clay pots into the fire, most of the orcs still patiently waited to see what Jiujiu was up to when they thought of those pots.
The firing of porcelain wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time. It took from morning to afternoon, and when the fire was slowly extinguished, the porcelain inside was finally done.
Jiujiu distributed the pots that she made to the orcs for them to see.
It was inevitable that the pots that were just taken out of the fire would be a little hot. However, the hardness and the property of not being afraid of water or fire made the orcs who only knew how to roast meat smile instantly.
Especially after Jiujiu distributed the pots to a few orcs who had more cubs at home. The other orcs looked at them with envy. They couldn't wait to have more cubs at home so that they could have a pot that could stew delicious meat.
The initial experiment was a success. Even without the celebrity effect of Sha Qing, the orcs especially wanted the porcelain that Jiujiu made with clay. The orcs who had more cubs at home were especially looking forward to the jars that Jiujiu said could store jerky for a long time. With the jars, they could make more jerky.
Just thinking about it made them excited.
Although Jiujiu didn't mention the specific trial plan today, they were very happy with the idea.
When they returned at night, most of the orcs went to sleep with beautiful dreams. Even if they didn't go hunting today, they were still happy in their hearts.
The next day, almost without Sha Qing's organization, all the orcs spontaneously gathered at the gathering place to see what Jiujiu wanted to do.
Seeing that the orcs were so enthusiastic, Jiujiu took the opportunity to mention her idea. At the same time, she also talked about making charcoal. Although Jiujiu didn't clearly explain the benefits of turning wood into charcoal, because Jiujiu made a pot yesterday, and the orcs who sent the pot to Jiujiu made a delicious stew according to Jiujiu's method, the foodie orcs decided to do it first without any reason.
Therefore, after Jiujiu said to make charcoal, the more agile male orcs immediately went to look for dry wood, and the female orcs started to make charcoal. The rest of the male orcs were ordered by Jiujiu to build a kiln for making porcelain.
Although there were a lot of people, if the kiln was too big, it would require a lot of charcoal, so Jiujiu decided to make a small kiln first. She would rather do it a few times than not do it at all.
The rest of the female orcs were brought by Jiujiu to a place with clay to learn how to make porcelain.
Porcelain couldn't be directly fired. It needed to be dried in a cool place after making an embryo out of clay. It absolutely couldn't be exposed to the sun because the water would evaporate too quickly after exposure to the sun, and the embryo would explode. Therefore, it had to be carefully dried in the sun.
After a day.
Half of the porcelain kiln was built, and some charcoal was also made. What made Jiujiu most satisfied was that although the female orcs were inevitably a little clumsy when they first started, after a long period of teaching, they could now make better porcelain embryos.
On the day the porcelain kiln was built, all the orcs in the tribe didn't go hunting. Instead, they all stood outside the kiln and watched the male orcs carefully move the finished and unbroken porcelain embryos into the kiln. Then, under Jiujiu's command, they sealed the kiln and ignited it to start the firing process.
During the firing process, the temperature of the kiln was very high. Many orcs were sweating because of the heat seeping out of the kiln, but even so, none of the orcs had the intention to leave.
After all, if the porcelain was successfully fired, it meant that not only would they not be hungry during the rainy season, but they could also eat delicious food that they couldn't eat before. Whether it was the adult orcs or the young orcs, they all stood outside the kiln and quietly waited for the porcelain to come out.
Jiujiu let Steamed Bun simplify the firing time of the porcelain. After a day, when the temperature in the kiln had dropped a little, Jiujiu ordered people to open the seal. When the temperature inside had completely dropped, she let people go in and take out the porcelain.
The kiln wasn't very big, and the amount of porcelain that could be fired was limited. This time, more than 30 pots and 10 jars were fired. Although the number wasn't much, none of them were broken.
Moreover, because the temperature of the kiln was relatively high, the sand and stones even melted under the high temperature, dyeing the porcelain with a layer of transparent glaze. It was simply beautiful.
Jiujiu distributed the pots and jars according to the number of young orcs in the tribe.
Although some orcs didn't get a single one, they weren't depressed at all. After all, the first time was a great success. They would have their own pots and jars sooner or later.
That night, most of the orcs ate delicious meat soup, and the jerky on the eaves of many orcs disappeared without a trace. It was replaced by some fresh strips of meat.
Because the first time was a great success, the second time was even smoother.
In less than a month, almost every orc in the tribe had a jar to store meat and a pot to cook rice in. Jiujiu also specially fired a batch of bowls and spoons.
If it was said that many people were in a state of half-believing and half-doubting Jiujiu a month ago, then after the porcelain incident, everyone was particularly convinced of Jiujiu. Even if Jiujiu was only a young orc now and didn't have any divination ability, in their eyes, Jiujiu was already their high priestess, a high priestess who could lead them out of poverty.
