Pour glue all over the surface, from the inside of the mortar. Make sure the glue is completely even, then stick the two broken pieces together. Press the end of the mortar so that the broken pieces that are joined can stick perfectly. To minimize the broken pieces from coming loose again, you can give Chinese glue back on the outer surface of the broken pieces.
Wait until the glue dries. The mortar and pestle can now be reused. As long as it is not dropped or subjected to too much pressure, this mortar and pestle can last a long time.
