The originally fat and oily roast chicken was left with only a pile of clean chicken bones...

We finished our dinner happily.

Lu Yu briefly chatted with the audience about tomorrow's plans.

Then he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

It was a sleepless night.

It wasn't until eight o'clock the next morning that this guy opened his sleepy eyes.

I have been to the island for so many days.

Lu Yu starts broadcasting on time every day.

But I was extremely late today...

After struggling to start the live broadcast, Lu Yu looked at the words "late" all over the screen and defended himself with a wry smile:

"Sorry, everyone."

"Today, I kept everyone waiting for a long time."

"It's rare to have a comfortable sleep."

"So... forgive me! Okay, brothers, a new day has begun again. Let's have some food and then we'll set off to get some clay from yesterday's soil collection point to build bricks and tiles for our hut!"

Cleaned up personal hygiene.

Lu Yu picked up a random slate and fried a turkey egg for himself.

to be honest.

The taste is a bit hard to describe.

The taste is completely different from that of eggs.

Can't say it's good or bad.

But it’s not unpalatable either.

ten minutes later.

Finish your breakfast.

Lu Yu found a few bamboo strips from the firewood house and briefly repaired the broken backpack before leaving the camp and heading to the soil fetching point.

To cover the roof of a thatched hut with tiles, at least hundreds of pieces would be needed.

besides.

The kiln and blast system for firing tiles also need to be used partially.

Therefore, Lu Yu made a total of four trips back and forth between the camp and the soil-borrowing site.

After working for almost two hours, it finally came to an end.

noon.

Lu Yu took a nap in the hut.

When the sun was not so bright, I got up and started making the billet.

The first step in firing tiles is to make the tile base!

Making bricks actually means pouring moderately wet and dry clay into a tile mold and processing it into tiles.

It is then dried in the sun to remove moisture and turn into a finished product suitable for firing in the kiln.

Nothing difficult.

Just a little troublesome.

"Okay, brothers."

"With the raw materials, our first task now is to make the tiles. The finished tiles need to be dried for a long time to remove excess moisture. Therefore, we make the tiles first and then build the kiln, which can save a lot of time. time."

The roof frame of the hut has many rafter beams.

Before making the blank, it is necessary to determine the format of the tiles.

This way the tiles will match the roof.

Consider the stability of the roof structure and how the tiles are installed.

Finally, Lu Yu decided to make the tile into a shape about 30 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide, with a round hole and tenon at the top for the rope to pass through.

The round hole allows the rope to pass through.

This makes it easy to connect to the keel on the frame.

The protruding tenon can also play a fixing role.

Let each tile be firmly fixed on the wooden rafters.

In this way, it can not only share part of the weight with the keel, but also provide double insurance for the tiles.

Not force majeure factors.

Even if there is a strong wind of level 8, the house will not collapse.

While talking.

After Lu Yu shared his idea of ​​making blanks with the audience in detail, he immediately took action.

"Before making the blank, we need one more tool, and that is the tile mold."

"Tile molds can greatly improve work efficiency, and at the same time, the fired tiles will have the same shape and beauty. Don't stupidly pinch them one by one, as that is a waste of time, and the most important thing is that it is laborious. Not even flattering.”

As he spoke, Lu Yu dug out a thin bamboo blank that was more than one meter long from the pile of firewood.

The bamboo blanks were leftover from the previous weaving of fish baskets, and now they can be put to good use.

"Making the tile mold is very simple. It doesn't have to be bamboo blanks. Ordinary branches can also be used, as long as they are tough enough. Because we happened to have bamboo on hand, I just used it."

Measure the length of the bamboo blank.

Lu Yu took out the stone axe.

Four indentations were carved on the bamboo base at 30 cm, 45 cm, 75 cm and 90 cm respectively.

The indentation divides the entire bamboo blank into two long and two short parts.

At this time, if you fold the bamboo blank, you can just form a rectangular tile mold with similar specifications to the tile!

At that time, just connect the head and tail and tie it tightly with bark rope.

It went back and forth for a while.

Not long after, an exquisite tile mold finally appeared in front of the audience.

"Everyone, have you seen this?"

"That's about it."

"When printing the blank, we only need to fill the mixed clay into the mold, then use a scraper to scrape off the excess and the shape is basically formed. How about it? Isn't it very simple and convenient?"

"6666!"

"Awesome, I feel like my IQ has been insulted like never before!"

"Actually, this is a very simple bricklayer's job. I have done this before! But to be honest, the anchor is really awesome and the restoration is very good!"

"That's so cool! Yushen, I want to roll some cakes for you!"

"Awesome! Awesome!"

“Playing in the mud is so refreshing and refined!”

"233333333"

Immediately afterwards.

Take the bamboo tile mold.

Lu Yu came to the heat reflecting wall.

The slate used for frying turkey eggs in the morning was brought over.

Sit directly on the floor.

He took a lump of clay and dropped it on the stone slab a few times in a decent manner.

"Bah bang bang—!"

However.

This is not the end.

After testing the soil quality, Lu Yu felt that the heat was not enough.

So he took off his straw sandals again and stepped on them with his bare feet.

"The clay we took is soft, so we must use some method to increase its stickiness and make it tighter."

"But there is one thing you need to pay more attention to during this process, that is, don't use too much force."

"Otherwise, the loss of water in the soil will be accelerated, and once it encounters heat, the kiln will explode."

In the live broadcast room.

An indescribable snapping sound.

Spread the word.

Hear it very clearly.

It attracted a lot of complaints from the audience:

"Pah pah pah pah pah~"

"There is no evidence to suspect the car!"

"I'll go, please tell me loudly that I'm not the only one who's dirty!"

"Ha ha!"
