Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 736
Chapter 736: Don’t Be Scorched Into Teppanyaki
Bai Qingqing wasn’t 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, “We 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.”
“Can that work?” Parker asked. However, he still tossed away the mud in his hand and cleaned his fingers.
“We’ll know after giving it a try.” Bai Qingqing wasn’t 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.
Parker’s 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. “I want to give it a try as well.”
Parker said, “Go play at the side.”
“You guys are bullies!” Bai Qingqing was so angry that she stomped her feet. “I really want to play! Let me make one!”
Winston continued to turn the grinding stone, then looked at her dotingly. “Be good. After you’re done with the confinement, we’ll let you play. You mustn’t touch cold things today.”
Bai Qingqing listened to his words and sighed helplessly. She waved her hand and pretended to be magnanimous. “Forget it, forget it. I won’t fight with you guys today.”
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 didn’t 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, An’an cried, so she returned to the bedroom with Parker.
Bai Qingqing fed An’an while staring at the stone slabs, occasionally going over to step on it.
“It has gotten hot.” Bai Qingqing looked at Parker, who was washing diapers at the side.
“Howl?” 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, “It’s good that it’s effective.”
“Thank you, guys,” Bai Qingqing said. They were a family, so it’d 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.
“You’re my mate. Being good to you is something I should do.” Parker’s 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 didn’t see anything. “Oh my, why is there so much dust in the room?”
Only then did Parker realize that his tail was wagging and quickly stopped it, pretending to look around before saying, “I’ll clean the floor later.”
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.
“Get off quickly.” Bai Qingqing patted An’an’s back and said, smiling, “I wonder how high the temperature will be when the fire is at its strongest. I hope you guys won’t get scorched into teppanyaki.”
