It's almost noon.

Kiln rest area.

Wang Chen swept the floor and did not show any impatience, in fact, these jobs used to be done by himself when he was at home, and the children from rural families swept the land is really nothing. After sweeping the floor, Wang Chen took the initiative to boil a pot of hot water, because considering that the kiln would lose a lot of water, he was afraid that a pot of water would not be enough, so he continued to boil water.

The second pot.

The third pot.

Wang Chen had no complaints.

Xue Yatou looked a little unbearable and said, "Isn't it good for us to be like this?"

Chen laughed and said, "What's so good, when I used to learn the craft, I was still beaten by the master's stick, don't you just boil a few pots of water?"

"But no matter what Bu Zhouzi says, he is a person brought by Ding County, and the family has a little financial resources, let's ......" Chen Er was also a little worried.

Xue Yatou thought for a while, "I'll do the rest, right?"

Chen Da stopped: "Don't, you rest in peace, we didn't let him do any heavy work, Ding Xiancheng won't say anything, how can anyone learn a craft and not work?"

Xue Ya thought about it for a while, so she had to say, "Okay." ”

Xu San didn't support it at all, "Do you really think that people are here to learn the craft? It's just a walk-through, and maybe you will take care of us in the future." ”

Chen Da rolled his eyes and said, "It will be a few years later, if we really treat him as a master over there, maybe we will be dishonest." ”

Chen Er said: "What my brother said is extremely true. ”

Had lunch.

Wang Chen had done all the work that should be done, and he had eaten lunch, and when he heard that the kiln was almost ready, he asked, "Uncle Chen, it's time to open the kiln in the afternoon, right? Where do we go in? Do you want to prepare something?"

Chen Da took a full breath, got up and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Bu, you don't understand the normal situation in the kiln on the first day, just follow us." ”

Wang Chen said: "Okay, I'll follow you." ”

Xue Yatou hurriedly said, "I'll go get the tools." ”

Chen Da explained: "I will worship the Wind and Fire Immortal Master with me for a while, as for Xue Yatou, she is not allowed to go in, only the four of us can go in, it will be very hot inside, but we must wear clothes and wrap them tightly, otherwise we will burn our skin, understand?"

Wang Chen said: "Okay, I know. ”

"No matter how hot it is, you can't take off your clothes. Chen Da admonished again.

"Yes, it's so hot that I can't stand it and go out slowly. Xu San followed.

When everyone came to the kiln entrance, the altar had already been placed.

Only people who enter the kiln are allowed to come here, but in the distance they also saw a lot of officials and men from the yamen, these officials and masters will definitely not come in, the kiln workers all understand, but what surprised them is that many people saw that Wang Chen was also among them, all of them were a little startled, some people frequently looked at Wang Chen's face, and some people were even worse, they directly wanted to cross the prescribed red line to come in, and then they were pulled by Ding Xiancheng, and they all kept looking over, and from time to time they turned their heads and pointed at Wang Chen.

"Why is he in there?"

"I don't know, isn't this nonsense!"

"Who will take responsibility if something happens? No, no, no!"

"There shouldn't be anything, let's relax first, but let people prepare first, and if something happens, go in and rescue immediately. ”

"Hurry up and get people ready. ”

Vaguely hearing a sentence or two, Chen Da was very strange, "Brother Bu, are they talking about you?"

"Yes, yes. Xue Yatou, who was in charge of helping, was also surprised: "Are you very familiar with the people in the government? Not only Ding County? These officials are not ordinary people." ”

Wang Chen smiled: "Maybe it's because I'm nervous about what we want to fire." ”

"That's how it should be. Chen Da summed up, and finally said, "Okay, let's worship the Wind and Fire Immortal Master first." ”

According to the process, everyone worshiped the Wind and Fire Immortal.

After a while, after the worship, Chen Dadao: "How to fire this cement?" I still don't have a clue, forget it, let's get some into the kiln and try it first." ”

Wang Chen suddenly said, "First put the raw meal in the big jar of the kiln." ”

Chen Da was surprised, "Yo, do you know how cement is fired?" He was really a little surprised, "And then?"

Xu San became interested, "Are you doing this?"

"A little bit more understood. Wang Chen continued to command: "Put some more pulverized coal in." ”

"Do you want to put pulverized coal?" Chen Erdao.

If it were someone else, they might not have listened, but Wang Chen was brought by Ding Xiancheng, and now he took the initiative to say that they had no clue, and they did all the things.

After putting the pulverized coal.

Xu San took the initiative to ask for advice: "Is there anything else I need to do?"

Wang Chen said the knowledge he had searched for from modern society, "Put some water in it, not too much, we will knead these cornstarch into balls, about an inch in size." ”

Xue Yatou said a little admired: "Bu Zhouzi, you know so much." ”

Chen Da smiled slightly, "It is estimated that Brother Bu has learned a little bit of this craft before, and it is normal to have a clear understanding of the preliminary preparations, but ah, when you enter the kiln, you still have to do what we say." "It's not that they pretend to be forced, the operation in the kiln requires a lot of experience, and an accident will occur if one is not careful, and the earthen kiln and the modern kiln are completely two concepts.

Listen to you?

Definitely, buddy doesn't understand.

Wang Chen didn't have any opinions, so he naturally listened to the professionals.

Subsequently, except for Xue Yatou, several other people entered the kiln to work.

Wang Chen just cooperated with them.

After a while, the heat inside was really unbearable, and several people ran out to catch their breath and cool down for a while.

Seeing them come out, Xue Yatou handed over the cold boiled water as soon as possible, "Master, how is it?"

Chen Da waved his hand, "Kiln burning, little meaning, you don't know us." ”

"The master is a good master. Suddenly, Xue Yatou hurriedly slapped a sycophant, not caring much about Wang Chen.

Even Xu San, who was touching the sweat on his forehead, had to praise, "Brother Chen is indeed the best kiln in our country." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. "Chen Da is very useful.

Repeatedly went in and out of the kiln several times, everyone was touting around Chen Da, and as for Wang Chen, no one bothered about anything.

At this time, the cement is almost fired.

The crowd didn't know if they should take it off directly, and they were deliberating.

Wang Chen interjected, "Wait for it to cool down first, and then add some gypsum powder to it." ”

Xu San looked at him and said with some surprise: "How do I feel that you seem to know very well?"

"No, it's the first time in the kiln. Wang Chen said truthfully.

"Oh, I don't know how you know so much. Xu San shook his head and didn't think much about it.

Chen Da chuckled and said, "What's so strange, maybe someone has explained to Brother Bu before coming, Brother Bu, you said yes?"

Wang Chen thought about it, it was indeed like that, what he searched on the Internet was no different from someone else's explanation, he smiled, "It's almost." ”

"Look at it, right?" Chen Dadao: "When I was in my twenties, I was already a master, hehe." ”

Xue Yatou admired: "The master is amazing." ”

Wang Chen just sat and rested, although he didn't do much work when he went in, but it was too hot, sweat came out of his body, and he felt like he was prostration.

After sitting and chatting for a while, the cement was almost cool.

Everyone took out the things and added gypsum powder according to what Wang Chen said.

What's next?

The crowd doesn't understand again!

Wang Chen once again acted as a conductor: "Put these cement balls into the grinding disc and grind finely, remember, it is best to be as fine as flour, if the grinding is not fine enough, it will have a great impact on the quality of cement in the future, improve the fineness, you can improve the strength of cement!"

"Huh?"

"And that said?"

"Do you want to grind the ball into a fine powder?"

"Forget it, if you're tired, you'll be tired, and you'll work. ”

"Tell the helpers to work harder, it's a little late, and try to get off work early. ”

A group of people began to put clinker cement balls into the grinding pan.

Chen Da also went into battle in person, shouting the trumpet to push the grinding plate, "Hey!

Then, with the addition of seventy or eighty helpers, a group of people worked hard to grind cement, and it was in full swing.

Chen Er is shirtless when he works.

Xu San was no better, but he shook his head helplessly when he saw Wang Chen standing there.

Xue Yatou was a little anxious and said, "Bu Zhouzi, you should go up and help." ”

As he was talking, a large group of officials rushed over.

Ding Xiancheng, who was the leader, hurriedly asked: "How is the cement firing?

"I don't know, it's still grinding. Xue Yatou pushed the grind hard.

Xu San shouted: "Bu Zhouzi, come and help me push it down." ”

As soon as he finished shouting this sentence, Cui An, who was in charge of this kiln, was frightened and scolded: "You will work hard, and you dare to command Bu Zhouzi to work......?"

A large number of officials from the yamen also looked at him with unkind faces.

In the end, Cui An walked up to Wang Chen and said apologetically: "Bu Zhouzi, I'm really sorry, I didn't take care of my subordinates." He trembled in his heart, for fear that Wang Chen would blame, and his face turned pale.

The faces of Ding Xiancheng and the others next to him were not very good-looking, and they had the feeling that they wanted to ask Cui An.

Xue Yatou looked a little blind, and then looked at Wang Chen, and said that Master Cui Yao was too partial, isn't it just a rich son.

Several potters have the same idea, and they have some opinions about Wang Chen.

But Wang Chen didn't seem to mind at all, waved his hand, and signaled that Cui An didn't have to pursue it.

Cui An breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "You have a lot of ......."

The potters vaguely noticed that something was wrong.

Wang Chen smiled and squatted down to touch some of the cement that had been ground on the ground, "I'll see how the cement is first." ”

"Oh, you look. Cui An didn't dare to say more.

Wang Chen carefully felt the feeling of touching it, and asked people to get a basin of water, mix the cement into a cement slurry, and finally put it over there.

Xu San was puzzled: "What is this for?"

Xue Yatou also showed a curious look, "Why do you want to get wet?"

Everyone present didn't know what Wang Chen was doing, so they could only cast puzzled eyes.

Wang Chen didn't say anything, and kept staring at the watch time.

About forty-five minutes passed.

He stood up and said with satisfaction: "The initial condensation is not bad, and after another four and a half hours to observe the final condensation, it seems that it can be used for the time being." ”

When a few potters heard this, they were a little dumbfounded!

Good initial setting?

Another four and a half hours to observe the final condensation?

Your grandma has to listen to your command in the end!

The most important thing is that this group of officials and masters don't even have the slightest intention of objecting? What kind of situation are you?
