"Be recognized by the world, and your achievement points will be increased by one!"
"What's going on? I haven't seen water yet, so why do some people admire me?" Chen Wenzhe was a little confused.
He has only dug less than three meters deep now. After all, the further down you go, the smaller the space is, and it is not easy to move soil upwards.
"You are really awesome. Some netizens just calculated that you dug down more than three cubic meters of soil. One cubic meter of soil is almost two tons. That's six or seven tons of soil!"
Li Qingtian smiled bitterly. He didn't know it, but he was shocked.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe was also stunned. Are there so many?
"You don't believe it, do you? A cubic meter of clay weighs about 1.8 to 2 tons. The soil we have here is all compacted hard soil, and it must have reached a cubic meter of 2 tons. Do the math. After a while, you dug
How much dirt? A humanoid monster!"
Six or seven tons of soil may not seem like a lot when you say it, but you will know it when you work on it. It is very tiring to keep digging so much soil.
Anyone who has ever done loading and unloading will know what six or seven tons of soil means.
A bag of cement weighs one hundred kilograms, or twenty bags per ton. If you go to unload the cement once, you will know how tiring it is.
The most important thing is that Chen Wenzhe is not found to be tired now, which is the scariest thing.
Knowing not to overdo it, Chen Wenzhe sighed, stepped on the steel bars reserved on the pipe, and climbed up.
"I am tired!"
"That's right!"
"I just held my breath and wanted to finish digging as soon as possible. As soon as you said it, I felt sore all over. I can't stand it anymore. I want to go home, take a shower and take a nap."
He happened to take the opportunity to stop and continue digging. He really found water and he couldn't go down.
The plan was still not thorough. If he had planned this, he should have placed an order earlier for shallow water and exploration equipment.
It is best to buy a few more oxygen bottles. If an oxygen concentrator is available, you should also buy one.
By the way, there are also gas masks, compressed biscuits, etc. You should have some, just in case you are trapped underground, it is best to hold on for a while.
Well, he didn't know the situation of the underground water veins, so the rope was also a necessity. If it was washed away as soon as he went down, who would he ask to reason?
"What are you thinking about?"
Being woken up by Li Qingtian again, Chen Wenzhe's expression changed. Did he enter professional mode again just now?
It seems that he is professional in tomb robbing, but after just a little thought, all kinds of ideas come to mind.
"Your teapot hasn't been put into the kiln yet!"
"What the hell, I was bragging just now, can't you hear it?"
Chen Wenzhe was naturally a little unhappy after being interrupted from all his thoughts.
"Ah? Were you bragging just now?"
"What do you think? The newly made pottery must not be dried in the sun. It takes time to dry in the shade, so it cannot be put into the kiln now."
"Aren't you very fast?"
"You are fast, it depends on the person!"
From getting the mud to making the pot, you can make a few pots in one night if you are quick, and if you are slow, you can grind a few pots in a few months. It varies from person to person.
The next step is a process of drying in the shade, because there is moisture in the teapot at this time, so it is risky to put it into the kiln directly for firing. The waiting time for drying in the shade is related to the weather and the clay itself. It can be as fast as one day or as slow as a month.
The kiln is fired twice, plus three days in between.
This time fluctuates greatly, and it normally takes about a week.
It could be as fast as three days or as slow as three months.
Chen Wenzhe is naturally very fast, but no matter how fast he is, he still needs to do it in the shade.
Those teapots are placed in the greenhouse, and the speed of drying in the shade should be very high, but no matter how fast it is, it is still winter, and they cannot be put into the kiln in the past two days.
Ignore Li Qingtian anymore, because the achievement points are gone again.
After tidying up and giving some guidance to Chen Qinghu, Chen Wenzhe was ready to go home.
Chen Wenzhe is very satisfied with Chen Qinghu's performance. He has persisted until now and has no intention of giving up.
In this case, Chen Wenzhe also wanted to train him well.
Whether you are making porcelain, making pots, or even firing gold bricks, you must start with living mud.
Finding soil, selecting soil, and practicing clay are the most basic skills. If you want to go far, you must learn more and do more.
Some red clay was left behind for Chen Qinghu to play with, and Chen Wenzhe left.
"Brother Qinghu, don't you think Wen Zhe is unreliable?"
Seeing Chen Qinghu who was still practicing seriously, Li Qingtian, who was about to leave with him, stayed.
"What you just said is true, right? A small teapot like that can be sold for three hundred?"
Chen Qinghu pointed at a row of twelve teapots not far away and said with a smile.
"Of course it's true, but if you want to practice to that level, you still need to work hard!"
"I'm working hard. When will I reach that level, Xiaotian, please help me sell teapots!" After saying that, Chen Qinghu continued to lower his head and play with the mud.
Li Qingtian opened his mouth in surprise, but finally said nothing.
This is a smart man. A teapot costs 300 yuan. Chen Wenzhe doesn't like it, but Chen Qinghu likes it.
He doesn't expect to make ten handfuls a day. Even if he makes one handful a day, that's still an income of 300 yuan.
That’s 9,000 a month. This kind of income, in rural areas, no, even in their county, it’s a high-income group.
Moreover, mastering a craft is a lifelong process.
Although Chen Qinghu is not very smart, he knows that as long as he works hard and persists, the teapots he makes will get better and better as time goes by. Will he be able to sell them for more money by then?
If you work hard, don't you just do more?
The old Chen family is not very good at using their brains, but who would admit that they are not good at using their hands?
For example, Chen Wenzhe has a good brain, which does not hinder his ingenuity!
With a role model, Chen Qinghu is naturally confident. He doesn’t need to think about anything else, just do it!
Chen Wenzhe didn't know that the three hundred yuan he and Li Qingtian had spent making fun of each other had become Chen Qinghu's motivation.
He has now returned home and started to finish his meal.
I ate the leftovers from lunch, which is really normal in rural areas.
However, Xiang Lingling received special treatment. She ate various specialties, many of which were sent by Chen Wenzhe's classmates.
Among them, Cao Qingchun is the most down-to-earth, offering all kinds of dried fruits and mountain delicacies.
For example, a lot of hericium, black fungus, deer antlers and ginseng were sent.
Ginseng is not very valuable, it is only three-year-old ginseng, but he sent ten kilograms at once.
Now Xiang Lingling is eating Hericium erinaceus. I don’t know how Zhang Meijuan cooked it. Anyway, it is stewed and Xiang Lingling eats it happily.
"Your classmates are still here. Look, these are wine and snacks sent from Dahai City. These are all kinds of seafood sent from Hang City. Does Hang City produce seafood?"
While eating, Chen Jianshe looked strange.
Chen Wenzhe was also eating a big crab. He didn't expect that he could actually eat such a thing in the middle of winter.
