The "Fire Dragon" raged for half an hour under Xue Wenhai's control. During this period, the movements among the people in Ji Xing Lao had already attracted the attention of other students. They silently stopped the carnival and walked quietly to Everyone in Jixing Lao looked at Xue Wenhai calmly and calmly.
In fact, as early as the beginning of the bonfire party, these students have been paying attention to the people in Jiexing House. After all, they know it well. Teacher Yan pays special attention to this group of people, but because of this, they will intentionally or unintentionally isolate Jixing House. A few people, so in this bonfire party, most of the other students gathered together. Occasionally, there were a few lone wolves who ate their own food and disdained to associate with those students. Only a few people from Jiexingliao were an isolated small group. , just entertaining myself in this corner of the bonfire party.
To say that the people of Jixing Liao are so isolated, it is not entirely because Yan Kai favors the people of Jixing Liao, but because the students of Jixing Liao are aliens in Yuanyue Academy.
As early as 20, 30, 40 years ago, Jokusei Residence was the only boarding facility in Totsuki Academy. At that time, Jokusei Residence was home to a large number of outstanding students from civilian backgrounds. More than twenty years ago, Dojima Gin and Cai Namijo Ichiro, Nakamura Itsuki and others created the golden age of the Gokusei Ryo, creating an unprecedented record of the Gokusei Ryo taking all the seats in the "Ten Elite Council". Shinomiya Kojiro and Mizuhara Fuyumi continued their success more than ten years ago. Although the brilliance of Jixing Lao has also occupied one or two of the "Top Ten Elites", but now, only Yisekhui, the seventh of the "Top Ten", is left to support the scene. This is not so much about Jixing The dormitory is in decline. It is better to say that Totsuki Academy is intentionally or unintentionally squeezing the living space of civilian students. Otherwise, it would be impossible for civilian students to produce so many talents in cooking, but now the talent is withered. Lianji Xingliao Everyone is dissatisfied, and it would be impossible to say this without the influence exerted by the Totsuki school.
Think about it again when Soma Kohei took the entrance exam. There were all brand-name luxury cars outside the examination room, and many candidates were even accompanied by bodyguards. However, a candidate who talked to Soma Kohei with a friendly attitude did not know that Soma Kohei was from a civilian restaurant. After becoming an ordinary person, his face immediately changed. He looked down on Soma Yukihira in words and revealed a very important message, that is, "vulgar commoners" like Soma Yukihira wanted to apply for Totsuki Academy. Failed to pass the written review stage!
In other words, the current Totsuki Academy has set a very high threshold for civilian students, which is too high for them to overcome.
But fortunately, Souma Yukihira was not really a "vulgar commoner". He had very good strength and connections, so he finally entered Totsuki Academy. On the contrary, the candidate who had mocked Soma Kohei before found out that the examiner of the entrance exam was Erina Nakiri and ran away, because in the world of Japanese cuisine, whoever has the "Tongue of God" said "It's difficult" "Eat" is equivalent to ruining a cook's career.
The entrance exam can wait until next year, but if Nakiri Erina says "unpalatable", he won't have to take any exams in the future.
Compared to the "vulgar commoner" Yukihira Soma, the self-proclaimed "noble-born" candidate didn't even have the courage to prove himself.
This is just the entrance exam for the high school department. Considering that there are currently no junior high school students among the members of the pole star dormitory, maybe even the junior high school has begun to set the threshold. Maybe Tadokoro Megumi and the others are already the last civilian students of Totsuki students. The afterglow of.
I would like to ask, how can these civilian students in Jiexingliao not become outliers in the now-changed Totsuki Academy? As a result, it is natural for them to be isolated from most students.
Fortunately, there are a lot of weirdos among the students in Ji Xing Lao, so being isolated from ordinary students may be a good thing for them. With fewer people to disturb them, it is easier for them to indulge in the things they are obsessed with.
And now, because of Xue Wenhai's eye-catching performance, even if most students still want to isolate the students of Ji Xing Liao, driven by curiosity, they still can't help but move closer to the small circle of Ji Xing Liao, or even surround them. They, the Jixingliao people who were supposed to be marginalized figures among the students, now actually became the center of the crowd!
Half an hour later, Xue Wenhai touched his hand, and the "fire dragon" that was flapping and spinning in the pit immediately dissipated. He blew into the pit again, and a heat wave rose from the pit, causing the people around him to step back. Small steps.
The main reason was that they were scared. The temperature of the heat wave was not too high, and it was far from the point where it could burn people. For this group of students who had been dealing with fire, it didn't matter at all.
"Okay, it's done!" Xue Wenhai clapped his hands, stood up and said to the students around him, "Everyone is here, let's go pick out a pottery bowl that you like, although it's not too different."
Students, you look at me and I look at you, not knowing whether to act or not. This pit has been burned by fire for a long time, will it be very hot?
Just when the students were hesitating, Xing Ping Soma was the first to rush to the pit, reached into it, and groped for a while in the pit that was darkened by the flames. He quickly touched something, and then raised his hand happily. Create a dark bowl-shaped object.
"First come, first served, I'm the first!"
Yukihira Soma said proudly.
Yoshino Yuki looked at Yukihira Soma with an idiot's eyes: "Soma-kun, aren't you afraid of getting burned?"
The "Fire Dragon" had been burning in the pit for so long, and the heat on his face hadn't subsided yet. Why did Yukihira Soma dare to directly touch the things inside?
"Didn't Brother Xin say you can take it? Then it must be no problem!"
Yukihira Soma said matter-of-factly.
Xue Wenhai smiled. He had traveled all over the country for so many years and had met quite a few people, but he had never met many people as stubborn as Yukihira Souma.
Just because of a word from someone he had only known for a short time, he actually dared to rush directly to the edge of the pit that everyone thought should be boiling hot, and even reached in to touch it... These days, such stupid young people are rare.
Yoshino Yuki was also a little convinced by Yukihira Souma's logic, but still asked: "Is it hot?"
Yoshino Yuki remembered that the temperature for firing pottery is above one thousand degrees Celsius. The pottery after firing must not be at such a high temperature, but it should be very hot. However, Yukihira Soma did not react at all and took the pottery bowl. Hands, Yoshino Yuki couldn't help but wonder, was Xue Wenhai performing acrobatics just now? Is there so much thunder but little rain?
"A little hot, but not scalding."
Yukihira Soma answered honestly.
"Let me see!"
Yoshino Yuki didn't dare to go to the pit to get the fired pottery, but she still dared to grab the lucky one.
When she got the pottery bowl, there was indeed only a trace of residual heat on it. Yoshino Yuki was surprised, and Yukihira Soma took advantage of her distraction to snatch the pottery bowl back: "This is mine! Yuki, you want to get it yourself." !”
"mean!"
After Yoshino Yuki found out that the pottery bowl was not hot, she refused to admit defeat, but she no longer argued with Yukihira Soma. She also lay down in front of the pit and reached into it, and pulled out something dark.
This is also a pottery bowl, but Yoshino Yuki is smiling broadly.
It is of course a good thing to have a bowl to hold things in the wild. As for the chopsticks, you can use smoothed branches instead, which makes eating much more convenient!
Of course, the greater significance of this pottery bowl is that it is the work of her favorite writer Xin Wenhai, and it has extraordinary value.
Fortunately, Hira Soma and Yoshino Yuki set an example, and the others finally dared to touch the pit and take the porcelain bowl from it.
The pottery bowls were all dark and didn't look very clean. Some of the students looked uneasy about the pottery bowls. Xue Wenhai said to everyone: "The black color can be washed away with a wash. It won't be a problem."
All the students immediately rushed to the stream to clean the pottery bowls, leaving only Yan Kai beside Xue Wenhai.
"Uncle, after reaching the pinnacle of martial arts, things are really different!"
Yan Kai said to Xue Wenhai.
For the uninitiated, the students in Yuanyue just saw Xue Wenhai making pottery bowls and thought they were as magical and interesting as magic tricks. Only Yan Kai could see that in this simple production process, Xue Wenhai mastered the strength and internal power. Control has reached such an incredible level.
The clay still needs an air-drying process after it is formed, but in Xue Wenhai's hands, after he shaped the clay into a bowl shape, he directly used internal force to dry out the water inside, so there was no need for the air-drying step. He also smiled and said People from Jixing Lao come to play with clay and make pottery. Yan Kai can be sure that people from Jixing Lao will never be able to do this. They cannot do the same thing as Xue Wenhai. Even if they make something out of clay, they have to be air-dried. Firing can only be done at night.
Even asking them to knead the clay is a huge waste. The best they can do is play with the clay as plasticine, thus wasting Xue Wenhai and the fine clay he produced.
Although the soil in this mountain forest is relatively fine, it is far behind those high-quality pottery clay and porcelain clay. However, Xue Wenhai used his skill to shake the soil into finer particles when stirring. In the end, it was quite close to the standard of porcelain clay, even more so. What's more, Xue Wenhai uses Tai Chi essence to mix the soil, making the final clay formed very uniform.
Xue Wenhai was able to fire sixty pottery bowls in a row, and all of them were successful in the end. Not even one failed. The ultimate uniformity of the clay accounted for at least half of the credit, and the other half was due to Xue Wenhai's fire control. Precision allows all pottery bowls to be heated equally and evenly. Adding the two together, this is the secret to Xue Wenhai's 100% success in firing pottery bowls.
All of this is extremely difficult to achieve even with the power of modern technology, but Xue Wenhai did it easily with manpower.
The hand that took away all the heat in the pit in the end was even more wonderful. It seemed to take away all the heat at once, but the pottery was easily broken when it cooled down immediately after being fired. All Xue Wenhai said In fact, the heat was taken away bit by bit. This meticulous work of stripping away the cocoons was performed by him with this seemingly rough technique. Even Yan Kai couldn't help but hold his breath when he saw it.
What is extreme micromanagement? This is!
"Shh!" Xue Wenhai raised his index finger in front of his mouth. The fact that his martial arts had reached the peak was still a secret for the time being, and he didn't want to expose it too early.
Yan Kai shook his head slightly. If it were other martial arts practitioners who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, they would be eager to beat gongs and drums to let the world know. After all, this is a great event that can honor the ancestors, so Xue Wenhai would hide it. , as if this is a shameful thing.
The students were washing dishes by the river. Yoshino Yuki found that there were black marks in several places that were very difficult to wash off and could not be removed no matter how hard they were rubbed. This made her very angry. Isn't this disgusting!
But soon, under the moonlight, she discovered that these black spots did not seem to be stains, but exquisite patterns, and she immediately exclaimed: "Wow, there are patterns on this bowl!"
The students who were also picking out "black stains" were stunned for a moment after hearing Yoshino Yuki's words, and then began to observe these "black stains" carefully.
"Mine is landscape!"
"My animal...is a horse!"
"Mine is a lotus!"
"And mine, mine is a flying fairy, so beautiful!"
The students exclaimed one after another after seeing clearly what was on their porcelain bowls.
Yan Kai looked at Xue Wenhai. Although he didn't say anything, what he revealed was: Didn't you say you don't pay attention to artistry?
Xue Wenhai shrugged, meaning: There is no way, they can't really be exactly the same, at least they have to have something to distinguish them!
Yan Kai sighed.
It’s too early to say it. I just said that Xue Wenhai’s ability to peel off the heat from the pottery bowl is extreme micro-manipulation. It’s too early to say it. He can burn various patterns on the surface of the pottery bowl with subtle heat changes during the firing process. This is This is the real extreme micromanagement!
When the students were in high spirits, Xue Wenhai smiled and greeted them: "Good evening, classmates. I hope you all like my gift. I have something else to do, so I will take my leave now. We will see you again in the future!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't give any reaction to the students. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the eyes of the students.
This elusive skill is really in line with Yan Kai.
"Hey, who is this person?"
Nakiri Alice, who was holding a pottery bowl with a rabbit pattern in her hand, asked Yoshino Yuki who was standing next to her.
Xue Wenhai appeared suddenly and was always with the students of Jixing Liao. The students of Jixing Liao must know his identity.
"It's Teacher Xin Wen Hai Xin, and he's also Yan Sang's uncle!"
The pattern on the porcelain bowl on Yoshino Yuki's hand is a big rooster. For her, who has always dreamed of raising "pole star chickens" like French Bresse chickens, the big rooster pattern is not only not ugly, but also very meaningful. The pottery bowl is worthy of her lifelong collection, no, it should be passed down as a family heirloom!
"Xin Wenhai? The one who wrote the novel? Is he Yan Sang's uncle? That's not right, he looks so young..."
Alice Nakiri, like everyone who heard Xue Wenhai's identity for the first time, showed disbelief in her eyes.
"Uh..." Yoshino Yuki sniffed and said a little sadly, "I'm already forty years old and married, okay? Isn't it normal to have a fifteen-year-old nephew like Yan Sang..."
Sure enough, I was born a few years later, and all the good men have been robbed. I’m so angry!
Forty years old and still married?
After hearing this, Alice Nakiri's head buzzed as if she had been hit by the bell-ringing wood in the temple.
