Chapter 59: Chapter 59: You Can Use a Beast Skin Blanket Like That?

After eating and resting for a while, they set out on the road again.

After walking for some time, they arrived at the Red Land.

Su Luoluo climbed down from Luan Ting’s back. She pointed at the red clay before them and said to Ah Zhu and Cai Xia, "This is what pottery is made from."

Hearing this, Ah Zhu and Cai Xia were both astonished. "Luoluo, are you saying pottery is made from this dirt? That’s incredible!"

The beastmen who had come with Ah Zhu and Cai Xia were also shocked when they heard this. "You can make containers that hold water from just some red mud? You’re not joking, are you?"

The first time she’d made pottery, Mo Xuan, Fu Feng, and Xiao Ye had also been surprised by her methods, but they had only stood by and watched. They weren’t nearly as skeptical as these people were now.

’Thinking about it now, they were actually very accepting.’

They had their doubts, but they hadn’t distrusted her to this extent.

She explained patiently, "You’ll understand once you try it for yourselves."

Explaining the principles wouldn’t make sense to them; it was better to let them see it with their own eyes.

Once they made it with their own hands, they would know whether to believe it or not.

At her words, the group followed Su Luoluo and squatted down in front of a patch of Red Soil.

Nantu didn’t say anything, but when Su Luoluo started working, he walked over to join them.

Su Luoluo casually picked up a stick from the ground, dug out a large chunk of clay, and began to knead it.

Mo Xuan, Fu Feng, and Xiao Ye, who were working quickly beside her, handed Su Luoluo prepared clay coils before she even had to ask.

Su Luoluo glanced over. "Just put them beside me for now. I need to show the others how to make the basic clay form first."

The three of them did as she said.

This display of efficiency from the three men left Ah Zhu and Cai Xia amazed once again.

’Su Luoluo’s husband-controlling technique is truly impressive!’

’She doesn’t even have to say anything, and these beastmen know exactly what to do.’

Su Luoluo had no idea what the two were thinking. She focused her attention on her hands and said, "You can shape this red clay into any kind of container you want, but you have to make sure the thickness is even. Don’t leave one spot thick and another thin, or the container might crack when you fire it."

As she spoke, she skillfully shaped a small cup. "See? Something like this is good."

Seeing Su Luoluo make a teacup in just a moment’s time, the newcomers were instantly much more convinced.

That was right. The things Su Luoluo had brought back were this exact shape.

It was just that their color was much redder than this one.

’Did she just say it has to be fired?’

’Maybe the color changes after it’s fired.’

After demonstrating once, Su Luoluo left them to it.

To succeed at making something, you had to try it yourself.

She could only show them the method; the actual work had to be done by their own hands.

Besides, she had a few things she wanted to make today as well.

Her set of pots was complete, but she still didn’t have small jars for oil and salt. In addition, she wanted to make a large water vat for storing water.

It would save her from running back and forth every time she needed water.

’Oh, and a large bathtub.’

She didn’t have the means before, but with a large vat, she could finally heat water for a hot bath.

’When my period comes, I can’t keep taking cold baths!’

’It’s a good thing the people of this Beast World are so strong and healthy. Otherwise, back in the Post-apocalypse, if I’d used cold water during my period, I would’ve been a goner long ago.’

Of course, she also wanted to make a few things with a bit more romantic flair.

Things like flower vases could add a bit of a loving atmosphere.

They’d be useful for future dates.

A large vat for purifying salt also had to be put on the list.

With Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, and Mo Xuan helping, Su Luoluo was able to work quickly despite making so many things.

Although it was Luan Ting’s first time, he was extremely dexterous. He copied the containers Su Luoluo made and produced quite a few himself, which was a great help to her.

Before long, a considerable number of items were arranged beside her.

There were jars and vats of all sizes, as well as some strangely shaped containers of unknown purpose.

When Su Luoluo felt she had made enough, she had Fu Feng start a fire. Then, the four of them placed her creations into the flames.

Ah Zhu and Cai Xia’s group worked slower than Su Luoluo, but their creations still looked quite decent.

Nantu didn’t have anything in particular he wanted to make; he had only come along to see how Su Luoluo actually made pottery.

However, for the sake of studying pottery, he still copied Su Luoluo and made a bowl.

Ah Zhu and Cai Xia had a lot of things they wanted to make. They were still working even after Su Luoluo had finished.

Su Luoluo estimated that it was about time, so she started to take a pot out from her luggage to cook.

She had noticed on her last visit to the Red Land that not many plants grew here, so she didn’t expect to find any wild vegetables.

She had prepared in advance, bringing some cornmeal with her.

She had been grinding a lot of corn kernels lately to lose weight, and there was enough for all of them to eat.

After washing her hands in a nearby stream, she opened her Beast Skin Bag, scooped a few large handfuls of cornmeal into a small pottery basin, then added a suitable amount of salt and water from a bamboo cup, mixing it until it formed clumps.

Then, she kneaded it by hand into a smooth dough, covered it with a large, clean leaf, and left it to rest.

While waiting, she had Fu Feng and the others catch some fish. After they were gutted and cleaned, she rubbed them with some seasonings, found some sticks, and skewered the fish, planting them around the fire.

By the time she finished, the dough was about ready.

With no cutting board, Su Luoluo used a large leaf as a mat on a big rock. She used a clean stick to roll the dough into thin sheets.

Then, she began to pull the noodles.

This deft movement caught everyone’s attention.

Nantu watched, finding it novel and interesting.

Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, and Mo Xuan watched her unfamiliar actions with smiles on their faces. ’Something new to eat again.’

Luan Ting, like Ah Zhu and the others, could only watch in admiration and appreciation.

After pulling the noodles, Su Luoluo started another fire, pan-fried a few fish with oil, and made a fish soup.

Then, once the water boiled, she added the cornmeal noodles, making a pot of fish soup with corn noodles.

Since they had no bowls, they folded leaves to use as temporary ones.

This novel fish noodle dish once again refreshed everyone’s understanding of Su Luoluo’s culinary skills.

Ah Zhu and Cai Xia were completely in awe of Su Luoluo. They had originally planned to cook a meal as well, but after seeing her skills, they quietly put their own ingredients away.

’Better not to make a fool of ourselves.’

By the time they finished eating, it was already evening.

Just like last time, the greenware had to be fired overnight.

Although they had arrived earlier than last time, the items Su Luoluo made this time were larger, so they still needed a longer firing time.

And so, the group spent the night in the wild.

Compared to the awkwardness of the previous time, Xiao Ye, Fu Feng, and Mo Xuan were much more at ease.

They spread the beast skins they had brought on the ground, closed their eyes, and went to sleep.

The beastmen with Ah Zhu and Cai Xia had also brought beast skin blankets, so they naturally found spots to lie down as well.

Su Luoluo, of course, was no exception.

Everyone lay down, except for Nantu.

Since it was his first time, Nantu looked at Luan Ting and asked, "Why did you bring a beast skin blanket too?"

Luan Ting replied, "I often go out into the wilds, so I’m used to bringing one."

Nantu knew they would be sleeping outside, but he assumed there would be trees and hadn’t prepared. He didn’t expect to be the only one left out.

He had nowhere to sleep and stood frozen in place for a moment.

Cai Xia smiled and looked at Su Luoluo. "Oh my, I was wondering what the matter was. Luoluo, you two have already consummated your relationship anyway. Why not just share a beast skin blanket?"

Su Luoluo: "!"

The moment she said that, the other beastmen present all looked at Su Luoluo and Nantu with meaningful expressions on their faces.
