Chapter 227 Making charcoal and making tiles

"It was not completely burned, and the time to close the kiln was too early, so that the firewood in the outermost circle could not be charred."

Master Ma gave the answer.

"Does that mean it failed?"

"uncertain."

"uncertain."

Ning Fang also said this sentence. After feeling the temperature, he reached out and took out the three sticks of firewood that were visible to the naked eye.

The upper end and the surface are already black, but the folds continue.

He put it aside.

Carefully pulled out the fallen soil, and the sound of "哗哗哗" came from the live broadcast room.

This is not water, but the sound of dry and light charcoal rubbing against each other.

Whoosh, whoosh.
Ning Fang stopped using his hands and put on a shovel, and black objects kept being dug out.

When encountering a particularly long section of charcoal, he will break it apart with his hands.

Click!

Splits easily in two.

"It's done."

"I thought it was a failure."

"Isn't this just charcoal?"

"Cattle fork."

Without Mr. Ma's explanation, the audience can tell that the charcoal was fired successfully.

As more and more black charcoal was pulled out, it could be seen with the naked eye that there must be more than ten catties here.

The girls were not idle either, they picked up the baskets prepared by the program group and weighed them first: 3.3KG.

It's not too dark, and I put charcoal in it with my hands clattering.

"Take it easy, don't break it."

"Yes Yes Yes."

It took a few minutes for Ning Fang to take out all the charcoal and unburned firewood.

Then he stopped what he was doing, tilted his head and thought for a while.

"What's wrong?"

"What is he thinking?"

"I don't know!"

"Nini, Tie Tie," Ning Fang said, "How about we make some more tiles?"

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Come on, little Ailing, get all the ashes out of the kiln, Nini, I want a piece of wood like this, like this, like this." Ning Fang gestured a few times: "Sister Meng, get me four pieces of wood." Come here with a stick."

After speaking, Ning Fang picked up the shovel and dug up the yellow mud again.

"What about me?" Song Tie and Reba didn't receive the task.

"Didn't you let us weigh charcoal, you two are in charge."

The program team was very grateful, buddy, it's fine if you think about it, but don't forget about the business.

The two didn't pick up the bits and pieces, but Ning Fang said that those were useless.

The others were all put into baskets and lifted up together, the numbers shaking for a while.

13.7KG, after deducting the gross weight of 3.3, the net weight is 10.4, which is about 21 catties.

clap clap clap!
Li Rui applauded. The traditional masters are reliable, much better than those experts. Before, Master Ma estimated that he could weigh twenty catties, which was very good. In the end, it was one catty more. This judgment is simply amazing.

And those audiences who chose to fail were also speechless. Even according to the standard of twenty catties, Group A was finished. In any case, they judged wrong.

It is equivalent to blocking all discordant voices with the result, perfect.

"Master Ma, contestant Ning Fang just said to make tiles, under such conditions, can it be realized?"

"If you are making bricks and tiles that meet the standards, it will definitely not work, but if you just use them yourself, there is no problem."

"So, what exactly are the things he wants?"

"Let me guess, the four wooden sticks are probably used to make the frame, that is, to shape the mud embryo, the wood is used to make the radian, and the plant ash is a bit like when we knead dough, we will sprinkle some flour on the table.

Because the yellow mud later needs to be added with water. Like the dough, it is easy to stick and needs plant ash to separate.

The rest of the process is simple, and the finished tile embryos are dried and shaped first.

Build a shelf, leave a good ventilation hole, and put bricks and tiles on it to burn.

In fact, it can be fired without charcoal.

It’s just that the speed is slow, and the resulting hardness is also much worse. Now I can judge that it is absolutely no problem for Group A to make bricks. "

Master Ma, or your master, is basically correct.

Seeing that several people brought things, Ning Fang stopped what he was doing.

"I only need 1-2 people here, and the others can go about their own business."

Song Tie and Nini stayed naturally, and the rest went to cook first.

The two of them are not just standing and cheering, they have to work hard.

Ning Fang searched around, moved a big stone, and put it down with a bang.

Then tie the four sticks together to form a trapezoidal frame.

Sprinkle plant ash on the surface of the stone, put the reconciled yellow mud in the frame, spread it little by little, and flatten it. During the process, some water is also poured on it.

"There is no requirement, just keep a certain humidity, if it is too dry, it will fall apart easily, if it is too watery, it will collapse again.

That's about it. "

Then, pick up the embryo and carefully place it on the wood next to it. During this period, I did not forget to sprinkle some plant ash.

The wood is curved. After the mud embryo is placed on it, it is gently tapped against the surface. In this way, the shape of the tile comes out.

"Well, it looks quite simple."

"Let's try first."

"Well, it's okay if it's broken, just re-pave it, and there is no waste of raw materials." Ning Fang comforted.

"That's good," Nini said with a long breath, "I thought it would be okay if it was done badly, so let me tell you sooner."

In an instant, there was no pressure.

Ning Fang smiled, washed his hands, went to the side, and braided two fresh straw hats for them to wear.

Straw hats are consumables, and the leaves will dry up every few days and need to be replaced.

"Thank you!" After the two thanked each other, they immediately squatted down and imitated Ning Fang's demonstration just now.

People in the city sometimes come into contact with mud, but all they make are ceramic teacups and other utensils.

It is the first time to make bricks and tiles by myself, which is quite novel.

Nini rolled her eyes and took the lead in attacking Song Tie, swipe her face with a hand covered in yellow mud.

Poor Tie Tie helped fix the stick with his hands, but he didn't dare to let go, so he could only shout and scream.

Ning Fang, who turned his head after hearing the sound, smiled when he saw this scene.

It is good to find joy in labor.

The audience in the live broadcast room was a little disappointed.

Burning charcoal, drawing a lottery with a diamond ring, and making tiles again, why doesn't the program group do more tricks?

However, for Ning Fang personally, it is another day of fans.

For [-]% of the people in the live broadcast room, charcoal is very familiar, and some people may use it every day.

But burn charcoal by yourself, let alone practice, maybe you haven't even thought about it.

Ning Fang taught everyone a lesson. It turned out that charcoal was made in this way, and the useless knowledge increased.

After a whole morning of hard work by three people, fifty tiles were completed.

Even with the kennel shelter, it would not take so much, Ning Fang also explained.

Not all tiles can be used in the end, some will be broken during firing, and some are not hard enough, so they have to be eliminated.

The three stood together, with sweat on their faces, looking at the results, quite satisfied.

The rest is simple, all will be burned tomorrow.
