Chapter 232: Natural Porcelain?! (1/2)
There are many people at the entrance of Jiu Yuan stone house shop. Da He was the busiest, but fortunately, the six slaves are still there to help they did not stay in the corner, all were running to help, but they can only look at things. Moving away, the one to talk about the price was Da He, but fortunately there are more people waiting to see, the real start is still a minority.
Da He has had several experiences in tribal trading before, and he is not too fazed with the scenes. He is also busy but not chaotic. Ding Ning also took the time to help when he came back. He mainly gave Da He a hand and learned how to deal with this scene.
Yan Mo was also worried that Da He would sell things cheaply, and he occasionally put an ear, only to find out that this is the real slaughter merchant slash bodyguard.
Da He saw Leader and Priest go out for a trip. The first deal they came and brought back more than a dozen slaves, and he didn't feel too strange. Their Priest Da Ren is soft-hearted, he must have seen these slaves being hurt, and he can't stand it.
More than a dozen newly bought slaves stood in the still empty shops, and they were relieved and still.
Ding Fei moved the boy back, and some of the more than a dozen slaves wanted to move but they held back. Those feared their words and deeds would reveal the identity of the teenager.
”Don't stand there, who of you know where the water source is nearby?” Yan Mo came in and pointed to a slave from Cai Yu.
The slave nodded quickly.
”You take them to the water source to get a few buckets of water, and then get some dry wood, the barrel we can borrow from The Moer Gan, right?”
The slave nodded again.
The new slaves were quite surprised. Only one slave took them to fetch water. Was this person not afraid that they would run away?
”Ah-Zhan, you get a few big water tanks, wait for them to bring the water and put them in the water tank, and then plug them out.”
Yan Mo looked for Yuan Zhan and pointed to the new slaves. ”You guys. Take four people to burn the water and cook the food. When people come back, let them eat, and then let everyone wash their bodies. Ding Ning, you are responsible for this.”
”Yes.”
The new slaves have been able to affirm at this time that their new masters are more benevolent, which makes them greatly relieved, at least for a short period of time they can live without worrying about being eaten as two-legged sheep.
”Ding Fei, you put people on the table over there, wait for me to go upstairs and take 15 sets of clothes down. When they wash themselves, you give them and teach them how to put them on.”
”Yes.”
Yan Mo assigned work one by one, and he ordered Ding Fei to go upstairs, put the round stone under his feet, and he took out 15 sets of fur coats from the pockets and gave them to Ding Fei.
Yuan Zhan followed, and bent over and picked up the round stone again. ”What the hell is this?”
Yan Mo looked around and no longer yelled at him. ”Look carefully, look at the outer layer of the round stone. What is it used for? ”
”Outside?” Yuan Zhan bowed his head. He hadn't noticed that there was still a good thing in the round stone because he has never see one like it before.
When he used his mind and used his abilities, and he quickly discovered the special features of this round stone.
The round stone was made by actually two layers stone one on the inside and outside, and the outermost layer is covered with a layer of very fine white soil. He didn't know how it was made it is hard but not cracked.
No, there is no cracking at all. Yuan Zhan turned it around with one hand and found a crack when he was pointed to it by Yan Mo.
The outer hard shell crack may be broken and peeled off due to bumps and the like, revealing the inner layer.
”The original crack was very small and it was enlarged by me.” Now the crack was a thumb size.
“Is this?” Yuan Zhan tapped the sharp surface of the small piece with his fingertips.
The surface of the round stone is already very smooth, but the exposed thumb is a small piece. It looks finer than smooth, micro-icy cool, and with a little luster. It is a material that he has never touched or seen.
Yan Mo also does not care whether the clay on the surface of the round stone is engraved with a pattern. When the knife is taken out, the white fine clay wrapped around the sphere is scraped off.
”Wait!” Yuan Zhan didn't want his Priest to destroy another tribe's treasure and attract their god curse. ”We don't know what is inside the boulder.”
”I know.”
”Huh?”
”When I saw this round stone at first I thought it to be gypsum, but unfortunately, when I looked closely, I found that it is not. I was happy, but I think that kid cares so much about this round stone. I thought that this round stone must have its extraordinary place, I went to pick it up and looked at it carefully. ”
This is also Yan Mo, if it was another Priest, in the case of judging the identity of a teenager, seeing this weird pebbles with strange patterns he will certainly not move, that other Priest would rather not bring back a possible threat and curse to themselves and the tribe.
”Then I found the place where this one crack.” Yan Mo poked at it at the crack, laughing: ”Changed where anyone might not recognize what is inside, but I look to see out.”
In fact, this is something that his predecessors have been exposed to, as to how many times from the young age to old age he doesn't exactly
”What is inside?”
”Porcelain ball.”
”Porcelain ball?” Yuan Zhan, who had never heard of this thing, used his fingers to poke around the surface of a round stone.
“Porcelain, in a nutshell, is an object made of clay and then hardened with fire. But I thought I would see pottery first, but I didn’t expect to see porcelain first.” This is what Yan Mo couldn’t figure out before.
“Pottery?”
“I remember that the pottery making method should be similar to porcelain making but the calcination temperature is not the same, the pottery is thick and rough, and the porcelain is exquisite and beautiful.”
“What is the use of this thing?”
“The use is wide ranging, the simplest can be house utensils, pots and pans can be used for this.”
“What is the use of this? Those things can be made with wood and stone, at the most this thing is just beautiful to look at.”
“That’s because you have the ability to control the soil, and it’s easy to dig a stone pot or cut a plate with stones. But people who don't have the ability to control the soil? Porcelain needs high temperature for the time being. If it is only pottery, it is not difficult. It is not difficult to find the material. It is pinched in a shape and then burned in the fire. It is good to burn with fire at least half of a night and the utensils that can be used.”
”Burn with fire?” Yuan Zhan felt something touching his nerves, and he subconsciously thought it was important.
Yan Mo was also introducing the benefits of ceramics. ”The blood ability warriors are a minority after all, especially the warriors who can control the soil. Although, the tools that everyone made during the training ability are currently available to everyone at Jiu Yuan, but if you want can become a commodity and want to make a lot of manufacturing, it is not as good as ceramics. First of all, their appearance can outweigh a lot of stone tools, and have you discovered that some stone tools will cause the water inside and the like to slowly leak due to the type of the soil material? But calcined ceramics will not leak, and stones are heavier than ceramics. In addition, ceramics cannot only be used as living utensils, but bricks, pipes, insulators that can withstand electric current, that is, lightning from the sky can’t destroy ceramics. If you know the calcining formula, even calcining a weapon that is harder than the stone is not a problem, not only weapons, it can also be made into the best shield.”
Yuan Zhan did not understand some words, but that did not prevent him from understanding Yan Mo’s meaning. Upon hearing the last two sentences, the mysterious door that had opened and a gap in his mind was blown open.
Fire, hardened, can be used as a shield for weapons... If he can remove the water from the soil, turn the fertile land into sand, and let the land near the water source flow into the soil and become a swamp, then why can't he mobilize the exuberant fire energy in his body to burn the soil that he can control?
If he does not use a large amount of soil control capacity on a large scale, but instead uses a body flame to calcine a little soil to make them harder and even sharper, is this feasible?
”Mo.”
“Huh?”
“You said that the soil can be hardened by calcination?”
