This old man obviously knew Shen Meng, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Shen Meng, he didn't know why she came at this time, so he hurriedly stood up and greeted the two.

Shen Meng smiled at the old man and said, "Uncle just told you one thing, this is Xiao Sun, he will live in our backyard for a period of time during this time, so the backyard will be handed over to him during the time he lives, and you don't have to go to the back." ”

The old man looked at Shen Meng, and agreed with a smile, originally his job was to take care of the front and back yards, but now that there is one less job, who can be unhappy if the workload is halved.

Sun Hancheng greeted the old man, Sun Hancheng is still very experienced in communicating with the old man of this age, there are many such old men in the alley of Four Seasons Street, and he has a good relationship.

His mouth was very sweet, although he had just met, he was very polite, as if he had known each other for a long time, which made Shen Meng's eyes full of surprise.

Under the leadership of Shen Meng, Sun Hancheng came to the backyard, which was very large and even several larger than the front yard.

Originally, the front yard was inhabited, and the backyard was a place where the kiln was fired, except for a few large and small kilns, there were only a few dilapidated houses, and it could be seen that there were indeed people in it all year round, so although the whole yard was an earthy ground, it was still very clean, and if no one took care of it, it was estimated that it would have been weeds all over the place.

"Not bad, not bad. After Sun Hancheng inspected the kilns, he was still very satisfied with the current situation of the Shenjia kiln.

Shen Meng reminded him and said, "We said before, you can only use small kilns, and large kilns can't be used." ”

Sun Hancheng thought for a while and said, "I don't use your kiln for mass production, so you can rest assured that you can't use your big kiln." ”

"Well, I've had a lot of trouble trying to convince you to convince the people in the family, and you must not embarrass me. Shen Meng still has his own worries.

"Don't worry, I don't have the energy to burn the kiln, let's talk about it first, maybe my materials can be transported in the afternoon, and the backyard of the Shen family belongs to me temporarily, and no one else wants to come in." ”

What Sun Hancheng wants to do in this backyard is so important that it can't even be seen by anyone.

Shen Meng laughed when he heard this, and said a little mischievously: "Then I can't do it." ”

"If you don't feel dirty, just come, but if you do, you're going to help me with my work. ”

Shen Meng cut off and said, "I'm just too lazy to come, it's dirty to think about." ”

Although Shen Meng said that it was dirty, he still helped Sun Hancheng clean up a room for him to live in.

Because the fire is often not extinguished for several days and nights when the kiln is burned, there are still a few houses in the backyard that are inhabited, but it is indeed a little dirty if you don't live for a long time.

When Shen Meng helped clean up the room, Sun Hancheng had already moved in from the outside.

All his things were taken out of the box and placed in a room specially used to make porcelain, in which there were originally a lot of tools for making porcelain, plus the things brought by Sun Hancheng, it was full of as if it had returned to the glory of the Shen family kiln back then.

Shen Meng couldn't stay longer because he still had a lot to do, so he left early before noon, leaving Sun Hancheng alone in the backyard.

Sun Hancheng couldn't stop collecting things everywhere, and finally squatted in front of the mouth of the small kiln to think.

At noon, the uncle in the front yard knocked on the door separating the front yard and the back yard, in fact, the door was not locked, but Shen Meng explained that they were not allowed to enter the backyard, so the old man could only stand at the door and knock on the door.

Sun Hancheng thought that the old man was looking for him something, so he hurriedly walked over to ask, it turned out that the old man was asking Sun Hancheng if he had eaten, worried that Sun Hancheng would be hungry if he didn't eat.

Sun Hancheng declined the old man's kindness, and he was not interested in drinking at this time, otherwise he would definitely have a drink with the old man.

After waiting for Cao Mengde's call at the kiln, Sun Hancheng opened the gate of the backyard and let the two cars outside drive into the yard.

The car pulled a cart of firewood and a cart of soil, which were indispensable in the yard when the Shenjiayao was brilliant, so the firewood and soil were placed in the yard after they arrived.

In fact, there is not a lot of soil, the soil is neatly stacked one bag after another, and the firewood is also very neat, and the resource that Cao Mengde found is really good.

Regarding connections, on the one hand, the strongest is naturally Lao Chen, Lao Chen knows many rich and powerful people, and even some people who are officials.

But if you say that you know a lot of people from three religions and nine streams, you have to say that it is Cao Mengde, no matter what industry it is, Cao Mengde can know a few cattle people, and it can come in handy at a critical time.

After sending the car away, Cao Mengde was late, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know that he thought he had picked up money from there.

"Old Sun, how are you missing me these days?"

Sun Hancheng glared at him and said, "Did you pick up other people's money from outside, as for writing it on your face?"

Cao Mengde said with a smile: "Is it so obvious?"

"I'm about to take a knife and cut it in your face, and if there's anything good, say it quickly. ”

Cao Mengde very mysteriously took out a small bag from his backpack, handed it to Sun Hancheng and said, "What do you guess this is?"

Sun Hancheng took the bag and put it in his hand to weigh it, and said, "Isn't it just soil, what's the difference?"

Cao Mengde laughed and said in Sun Hancheng's ear: "Macang soil!"

Hearing Cao Mengde's words, Sun Hancheng almost shouted in surprise: "What kind of macang soil, you're not kidding?"

Sun Hancheng really didn't believe it, last time he asked Cao Mengde to find a little Macang soil, in fact, he was suspected of joking, he knew that Macang soil was not there in the Ming Dynasty, so when Cao Mengde said this, how could he not be surprised.

Cao Mengde said proudly with my most handsome expression: "Do I need to lie to you, in fact, there are still some differences from the ancient Macang soil, but it is much stronger than the current kaolin, so you can make two good things with a little saving, right?"

Sun Hancheng weighed the weight of the dirt bag in his hand: "Don't say it's two things, three things are no problem." ”

The two of them hugged a dirt bag together and laughed, people who don't know naturally don't know what this soil means to them, it may be worthless in the eyes of others, but in Sun Hancheng's hands, it's completely different.

In the evening, the two of them set up a table at the mouth of the kiln, bought some vegetables, and sat opposite each other to drink.

"Old Sun, is our meal considered to be a wine?"

"Damn, I'm not happy. ”

"Willingly, it's a lot better than we were a few years ago. ”

When Cao Mengde said this, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly shut up, praying in his heart that Sun Hancheng would never hear it.

As long as you know Sun Hancheng, you know that the incident five years ago was Sun Hancheng's reverse scale, and anyone who talks about it usually makes Sun Hancheng unhappy.

But this time Sun Hancheng laughed and said: "You are talking about the time in Xijing five years ago, that time we were five people, and this time we are two people are indeed different." ”

Cao Mengde looked at Sun Hancheng in surprise, and after taking a closer look at Sun Hancheng's face, he found that Sun Hancheng's face was as usual, and even with a smile.

"Old Sun, you have fallen into evil, you dared to mention that incident five years ago?"

"There's nothing I don't dare, I used to be too small-minded, but now it's okay, there's nothing I can't say. ”

Cao Mengde still asked with some hesitation: "You're not kidding, are you?" ”

Sun Hancheng sneered and said: "What's the joke about this, we were in Xijing five years ago, and it was the five of us at that time, and it was also on such a night that drinking wine and eating skewers decided that big thing." ”

He also picked up a skewer he bought from outside and took a bite, as if he had gone back to that night five years ago.

"Everything that happened five years ago was perfect, except for the last thing that happened to Donglai. ”

Seeing that Sun Hancheng took the initiative to mention the incident five years ago, and mentioned it to the east, it shows that Sun Hancheng has really stepped out of the shadow of that incident.

Cao Mengde said with a smile: "Last time was not perfect, this time we will play a little more perfectly, do you have any plans?"

Sun Hancheng and Cao Mengde clinked glasses and drank a glass of wine, and then said: "The last time it was planned by Lao Chen and Donglai, now there are only the two of us left, no matter what we do, we can only rely on ourselves." ”

"Let's be ourselves, five years ago it was the first time, we didn't have much experience, now we all have experience, and I believe in you, I know that you have endured for many years, and you will definitely do perfect in your heart this time if you were not perfect last time. ”

In fact, what Cao Mengde said was not wrong at all, that is, because of what happened last time, Sun Hancheng would only be more cautious than before, he didn't want to see anyone hurt again, if this was why he was willing to get involved in tobacco in Yanjing, he would also find Cao Mengde out safely.

Sun Hancheng poured the wine of the two of them, and the two touched lightly and said, "Then let's come, since we have decided that there is no way out." ”

"him!"

The two stood up and drank the wine from their glasses.

Both of them drank too much that night, but they both got up early the next morning, and when Cao Mengde got up, he saw that Sun Hancheng had already started to get busy, and a clay embryo vase in his hand had been formed.

"Does my grandson need my help?"

Sun Hancheng shook his head and said, "You go buy some breakfast first, and then clean up the kiln and light it to heat the kiln." ”

"Okay, you can tell me anything, although I am much worse than you in terms of technology, but it is still okay for you to run errands. ”

Sun Hancheng nodded slightly, no longer paid attention to Cao Mengde, and continued to concentrate on the work at hand, he is such a person, as long as he does it, he strives for perfection.
