Bai Qingqing wasnât able to do anything, but what Parker and Winston did looked unbearable. They looked like hollow piles of shit!
Bai Qingqing thought about it before saying, âWe can only rely on tools, then. Bring the grinding stone over and use the center of the grinding stone to hold the mud. Form the shape while spinning the grinding stone.â
âCan that work?â Parker asked. However, he still tossed away the mud in his hand and cleaned his fingers.
âWeâll know after giving it a try.â Bai Qingqing wasnât sure either.
After bringing the grinding stone over and assembling it, Parker placed a big lump of mud on the center of the grinding stone, hollowing the center. If he could make a round barrel, then he could just add a layer of mud on the bottom.
Winston and Parker worked together, with Winston turning the grinding stone while Parker molded it with his hands.
The grinding stone turned, and the lump of mud started spinning as well.
Parker found it very novel and touched it, not expecting it to come out better than expected. Each spot he touched would cause the entire circle to change. He used his hands to hold the mud together. After a few rounds, the mud turned into the shape of a hat with smooth lines.
Parkerâs eyes opened wide in surprise, his pair of golden pupils looking especially round.
Bai Qingqing found it fun as well and kept on rubbing her hands together at the side. âI want to give it a try as well.â
Parker said, âGo play at the side.â
âYou guys are bullies!â Bai Qingqing was so angry that she stomped her feet. âI really want to play! Let me make one!â
Winston continued to turn the grinding stone, then looked at her dotingly. âBe good. After youâre done with the confinement, weâll let you play. You mustnât touch cold things today.â
Bai Qingqing listened to his words and sighed helplessly. She waved her hand and pretended to be magnanimous. âForget it, forget it. I wonât fight with you guys today.â
Relying on the amazing shaping tool, Parker spent a few minutes before finishing the first bowl. He then separately made a flat circle and carefully pasted it to the bottom of the bowl, then shaved off the excess.
The initial form was done.
Bai Qingqing didnât feel bored from just watching. She showed Parker how the shapes of modern kitchen tools were like and told him to make them.
A few stone slabs were placed in the bed-stove and then filled in with mud. Winston then started to burn firewood. At this moment, Anâan cried, so she returned to the bedroom with Parker.
Bai Qingqing fed Anâan while staring at the stone slabs, occasionally going over to step on it.
âIt has gotten hot.â Bai Qingqing looked at Parker, who was washing diapers at the side.
âHowl?â The three leopard cubs jumped excitedly, dashing over to the stone slab with the speed one would run for a 50-meter sprint. Their soft paws sensed the change in the temperature and they cried out in surprise, lowering their heads and sniffing at the floor.
Parker said, feeling consoled, âItâs good that itâs effective.â
âThank you, guys,â Bai Qingqing said. They were a family, so itâd be as if she was regarding them as strangers by saying thanks. However, she had no other way to express her gratitude except to voice it out.
âYouâre my mate. Being good to you is something I should do.â Parkerâs expression was serious, but his tail wagged furiously, sending dust up and exposing the glee in his heart.
Bai Qingqing smiled secretly, pretending that she didnât see anything. âOh my, why is there so much dust in the room?â
Only then did Parker realize that his tail was wagging and quickly stopped it, pretending to look around before saying, âIâll clean the floor later.â
Bai Qingqing turned her over and pursed her lips, stifling a laugh so bad that her shoulders trembled.
The leopard cubs liked this part of the floor a lot and pawed away the dust before laying down.
âGet off quickly.â Bai Qingqing patted Anâanâs back and said, smiling, âI wonder how high the temperature will be when the fire is at its strongest. I hope you guys wonât get scorched into teppanyaki.â
