He didn't know if the food would taste good when cooked in a clay wok, but he thought he might as well give it a try.
He had already made several pots and casseroles, so why not make a wok too.
The weather was extremely hot, not suitable for going out to build walls.
So he went to the creek and dug up a lot of soft mud again to bring back, continuing to use the previous method.
Since this soft mud was less sticky than clay, more care was needed in processing it.
He first rolled it into strips, then arranged them into circles. Then he stacked these circles together and pinched them. This way, the stickiness was enough, and the shape could also be controlled.
The curvature of the bottom of the wok was relatively gentle, making the heating of the food inside more even than those bowl-shaped casseroles.
When making it, he thought that it might be hard to control the heat with a clay wok, making it easy to burn the food, or not have enough temperature.
