In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 390: Making Pottery

On this day, the kindergarten organized everyone to make pottery together. Everyone sat in the stroller and listened to Teacher Yoshinaga talking to everyone about some matters and scientific knowledge.

"Children, we are going to the pottery classroom later. Do you know what pottery is?" Teacher Yoshinaga asked with a smile.

"I don't know, teacher, what is pottery?"

“What is pottery?”

"Teacher, please tell me quickly."

"?" Mingxu looked at them with lifeless eyes. Why do I feel like you represent everyone? Forget it, what's so much to say to a bunch of little brats? But there's a guy who likes to show off and should show up soon.

Mingxu was thinking, and sure enough, Fengjian poked his head out from behind him, raised his hand and shouted: "I know! Just knead the clay, make vases and dishes, and then put it in the kiln to burn."

“??? Put it inside the shemale and burn it?” Shin-chan broke out in a cold sweat. Is this pottery so scary?

"...What are you thinking about?" Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly.

"Are you imagining nonsense again?" Feng Jian said speechlessly. Everyone looked over here, mainly because Xiao Xin's voice was a bit loud just now. . .

"It's a kiln, not a shemale." Mingxu held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly: "A kiln is a kind of equipment specially used for firing things... emmm, you can understand it as an earthen house." Mingxu explained.

"Oh. I see." Xiao Xin nodded, not quite understanding.

"I'm glad you understand." Teacher Yoshinaga also breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon the car arrived in front of the so-called pottery classroom, which is a processing factory specializing in pottery making.

"Welcome." The factory director came out and smiled at the headmaster and the others.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again today, thank you, Mr. Okama." The principal said politely.

"No, art is born from innocent things. It's my honor that you come here. I should learn more from these children." Mr. Okama said politely.

“Hahaha, you are worthy of being a famous artist who has won an art award. What you say is indeed different.” The director said with a smile.

Several teachers stood behind him in silence.

Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin releasing his nature and sighed. Why can't this boy correct this problem?

“Oh, it’s the Special Excellence in Arts Award! Hahahaha!” Mr. Okama emphasized it and then laughed.

"Oh, hahaha." The director's mouth twitched, feeling a little embarrassed. He turned around and looked at everyone behind him, pointing at Mr. Dafu and said, "Children, this is the teacher who will teach you pottery today. Come and say hello."

"Hello, teacher." After hearing the principal's words, everyone greeted Mr. Okama. Mingxu and the others didn't do anything special and just honestly grabbed Xiaoxin and greeted him together.

"Haha, hello everyone, welcome to my place, I'm from this kiln factory..." Before he could finish his words, Xiao Xin stood up.

"A rocking bed?"

"No. It's a kiln factory!"

"Shaking bed? Shemale factory? You..." Xiaoxin wanted to say something, but Mingxu covered his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and pulled him back.

"This is the owner of the kiln factory. He's also the one who runs the kiln factory. That's the many earthen houses that I mentioned before that are dedicated to making bowls and dishes." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin and explained.

"Oh." Xiaoxin nodded.

"And this man is called Mr. Dafan. You shouldn't have heard it as something like big butt, right?" Mingxu asked, glancing at Xiaoxin.

"...No." Xiaoxin denied it quickly, but the sweat dripping from his forehead betrayed him.

"Hey, kid." Mingxu sighed. Then everyone followed Mr. Dafu into the place dedicated to pottery making. There were many ceramic products and many molds on display.

"Wow, that's a lot."

“It looks interesting.”

"exactly."

As soon as they came in, everyone scattered around and looked at the things here. Some people couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"What is this used for?" Zhengnan asked, pointing at the windlass.

"This is called a potter's wheel. It can turn the clay on it into the desired shape." Mr. Okama explained with a smile.

"Wow, I think I see it spinning." Nini said while holding her hands.

"Do it for us to see." Ah Dai said to Mr. Da Fu.

"We want to see it too!" Everyone gathered around when they heard it.

"Teacher, could you please demonstrate it to me?" Mingxu said politely.

"Okay, no problem. I'll show you." Mr. Okama took a large ball of clay and demonstrated it on the windlass. He controlled the windlass to turn, and then changed the shape of the clay with his hands.

"Look, it will become various shapes, right?"

"Wow~"

"That's amazing." The headmaster and others also came over.

"Then continue to turn the potter's wheel like this, and sit here and continue playing with the clay. This is the most relaxing thing." Mr. Okama said as he fiddled with the clay and closed his eyes.

"Me too." Xiaoxin's voice came, and Mingxu's mouth twitched. Oh, he forgot to keep an eye on this kid. He turned around and saw this kid dancing on the rotating windlass next to him.

"...come down." Mingxu said with narrowed eyes.

"...I know, Xiaoxu, don't be angry." Xiaoxin shuddered when he saw Xiaoxu like this, and walked down obediently.

"Ahem, ahem, okay, let's get ready and start." Mr. Dafan coughed a few times when he saw this.

"Okay." Everyone sat down, and a lump of mud was placed in front of them.

"Before we can shape it into various shapes, we have to knead the clay carefully. Do you understand?"

"Got it." Everyone began to rub the clay in front of them vigorously.

But for those who have played with clay, this is really a piece of cake, it just takes a little longer to rub it.

"Yes, that's right. If I don't knead out the air in the center of the clay, cracks will easily appear on the fired items, so this is very important." Mr. Ohkama said as he looked at everyone's serious expressions.

"Okay." Everyone responded while rubbing.

Mingxu pounded the clay in front of him vigorously, and his progress was much faster than that of the others.

After being glared at by Mingxu just now, Xiaoxin has become much more obedient now, and is kneading the clay quietly.

"There is one more thing. Everyone should listen to their own hearts carefully. Do you understand?" Mr. Okama said, placing his hand on his chest.

“…” Mingxu rolled his eyes at him. Which child could really understand what you said?

“???” As expected, everyone looked at him with confusion.

“Just listen to your own heart. Art comes from your own heart, and only by listening to your own heart can you get the final answer!” Mr. Okama was already emotional.

"..." Mingxu felt that no one around him paid attention to him.

Then everyone kneaded the clay and started to shape it into the shape they wanted.

Mingxu directly sculpted several small Konoha figurines based on the comic characters in Q version.

Fengjian and his friends also make the pottery works they want.

Xiaoxin simply rolled it into a ball.

"..Little brother, what are you doing?" Mr. Okama looked at the expressions of everyone around him, then looked at Shin-chan's clay, and asked with a twitch of his mouth.

"football!"

"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."

"Then." Xiao Xin poked three holes on it.

"bowling."

“…” Mr. Okama became a little withdrawn.

"Okay, Xiaoxin, let's do the rest." Mingxu had already made a few and was speechless when he saw Xiaoxin's actions.

"Okay~" Xiao Xin nodded after hearing Mingxu's words.

"Oh, I didn't expect teaching children to be so tiring..." Mr. Okama sat aside, looking confused.

At this time, two teachers came to him with their own things to ask for advice. After seeing their things, Mr. Okama also gave his own answers.

Mr. Yoshinaga needs to add some texture, but Mr. Matsusaka's praise for the shape makes him feel helpless. How can this teacher be more childish than a child...

"Hey, this is why all these kids do it." Seeing the set in front of Mingxu, the corners of his mouth twitched. Can this thing really be burned?

Alas~ He felt that he sighed more than usual today.

Finally everyone was done, and after noting down everyone's work, Mr. Okama led everyone to the kiln.

"Everyone will send their finished products to the kiln for firing today. They will be ready in about a week."

"Oh."

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

After the final tour, everyone went back to kindergarten.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the cooked food was delivered.

Everyone got their stuff.

There are cracks on Mr. Matsusaka's pottery, it turns out that he didn't knead the clay well.

"why..."

“My heart is broken~”

"This is yours."

"Mine, wow, they're good, the colors are nice." Mingxu smiled when he saw his Q-version dolls.

"Wow~" Everyone gathered around when they saw what Mingxu had in his hand, feeling extremely envious.

"Sure enough, I still lost to Xiaoxu." Fengjian said helplessly as he looked at the vase in his hand.

"Hehe, this is the toilet for Xiaokui." Xiaoxin laughed as he looked at the toilet in his hand.

"That's great. Xiaoxin, you will be a good brother." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin and smiled.

"Hehe~"
