Chapter 647 - 278: Black Bear Has Arrived
The cabin was basically finished, but the follow-up construction was far from complete.
The only vessel he had at hand was a small field pot he carried with him, which he used for fetching water and cooking; it was very inconvenient for storing food, as he could only place it on a relatively clean stone platform.
Having gained a preliminary understanding of the soil he dug up, Lin Yang decided to use the resting time at the camp to make some crude pottery to use as daily water storage and containers for holding items.
He knew a little about other skills, but pottery making was something Lin Yang was truly a complete novice at.
Fortunately, there were knowledgeable folks in the live streaming room, and after some directing and attempting, he managed to make some progress.
Under the guidance of his viewers, Lin Yang carefully picked out debris from the dug-up soil, then ground the soil as finely as possible, mixed it with water and mud, and then rolled it into round strips, layering them into a small arc-shaped basin, sealing the gaps between layers with water.
Although it looked a bit ugly, after finding the method, he grew more skilled with each attempt, and in the few hours between dinner and bedtime, he had made three fairly decent-looking pieces of pottery.
The clay was slightly too moist, so after finishing, Lin Yang did not dare to fire them immediately and left them overnight instead.
The next morning, after waking up, the clay had hardened somewhat from being baked by the campfire overnight, and after carefully firing it over the fire for a few hours, two out of three pots were successfully made, providing Lin Yang with some basic utensils.
