Chapter 278: Process Improvement

The cousin said: "Put the sand jar in it, put the big one in the middle, and put the small one around, and it will form a mound shape, so that the lid of the steamed bun can be covered." Ｘ”

Then he continued, "You can put about 30 sand pots on a stove, and you can usually burn it for ** minutes, and the heat depends on your eyes." ”

After speaking, he said to Li Junge: "This batch is almost there, you get out of the way." ”

Li Junge pulled Ah Yin back a few steps, and his cousin picked up the cover of the kiln with a hook, and suddenly the heat wave rolled in his face, which frightened Ah Yin "ouch" and stepped back a little.

Li Junge looked at the red-hot sand pot in the mouth of the kiln and said: "Kiln burning is a hard work, it is better in winter, you can light a fire during the day, and people are not so uncomfortable......;

I saw my cousin hook one jar after another kiln eye and said, "This eye here is called glaze eye, and it is used for glazing." ”

Ayin didn't understand again: "If this glaze water drops up, isn't the casserole all fried?"

My cousin laughed, as if he had heard something funny, and said, "Just look down." ”

After setting the jar in place, my cousin added some sawdust to the glaze, and then added some half-lived pine branches to the kiln from a hole, and a puff of green smoke suddenly came out.

Then the cousin picked up the lid of the steamed bun and closed it, and after two or three minutes, he said, "Okay." ”

Ayin thought for a moment, and suddenly jumped up: "I understand! I understand! This glaze is not a liquid, it's actually pine smoke, right?!"

The cousin said, "Yes, Ayin is so smart!"

After speaking, he opened the lid, and sure enough, the sand jars on the glaze turned black and cyan one by one, and the cousin would pick out the jars one by one with long steel bars, and the other party was by the kiln, letting them cool down slowly.

Li Junge walked out of the shed, picked up a burned jar in the corner of the house and said, "Ayin, you see, the jar was earthy yellow before it was glazed, which is different from the coal sand jar you usually see. ”

My cousin explained: "In fact, it is to infiltrate a layer of carbon on the surface of the sand tank to increase strength, plug holes, resist high temperature, resist corrosion, do not oxidize, do not change color, do not react with various substances in food and medicinal materials, and is convenient to use and clean." ”

Ayin shook his head again and sighed: "I can't think of such a way to kill me...... Such a simple move can solve so many problems! The ancestors are so smart!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Don't be presumptuous, maybe you also get it from experience, take mud to burn utensils, we Chinese are great experts!"

Ah Yin said to his uncle again: "Uncle, I see that there are a lot of shapes over there, what are they for?"

The uncle pointed with his finger: "This is a high jar, used for boiling water, this is an urn jar, used for cooking rice, this is a flat jar, used for stir-frying, this is a cow head jar, used for boiling tea, and this is a rice retort jar, a wine retort jar, a pot and ,......."

There are all kinds of things, some of them don't, and they say more than 20 kinds of things.

Ah Yin asked, "Uncle, who did you learn this craft from?"

The uncle said: "This is our old craft in Jiachuan, it was there before the liberation, and Piwa's grandfather passed on my ......."

Ah Yin and Li Junge glanced at each other, and their eyes lit up.

Ayin took out his mobile phone and began to call: "Hey, is ......Township Chief Min called? Uncle Min, you told me last time that there is no intangible cultural heritage in your township? Obviously, there is! What? Hahaha, I really didn't lie to you...... Well, I'm in your hometown, at my boyfriend's uncle's house...... Oh, Uncle Min, don't make trouble...... Well...... Well, I don't know, I just know that they also have a cousin named Shi Baoquan to drive a boat in our Lijiagou, oh you know? Yes, it's a coal sand tank, why didn't you report such a good project?...... Hahaha, no thanks, no thanks...... No need to come over, no need to come, we'll go back tonight!Well, then I'll hang up, Happy New Year to Uncle Min!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone and smiled at Li Junge: "It's done!"

Li Junge smiled: "How come you know the head of Min Township across the river?"

Ayin said with a smile: "The last time I was evaluated as advanced, all the rural cadres met at a meeting in the county. ”

Li Junge wondered: "When did you become advanced again?"

Ayin said: "When you go to the capital, hey, don't talk about this ...... yet"

He turned his head and said to his uncle: "Uncle, your craft can definitely be reported as an intangible inheritor, and the government will give a subsidy after applying, and there are thousands of yuan a year." ”

The uncle was overjoyed: "Oh, can there still be such a good thing? I also said that the fire will be stopped after the year......

Li Junge said: "This can't be stopped, well, by the way, uncle, how many jars can your two kilns produce in a year?"

The uncle said: "If you want to stop people and not stop the fire, you will have to have thousands of them in a year." ”

Li Junge scratched his head and muttered, "A few thousand? a little little......

The uncle said, "What do you mean, Piwa?

Li Junge took out his mobile phone, called up a few pictures from the Internet, and said, "This thing is zero difficulty for you, right?"

Uncle took his mobile phone and looked at it: "What's so difficult about this! This is easier than a medicine jar!"

Li Junge touched his chin: "The texture is crisp and loose, the air permeability is good, and the heat retention is strong, I really can't think of any pot that is more suitable for planting dendrobium and bluegrass than coal sand jar......s."

Ah Yin's eyes also lit up: "Yes, yes, aren't you just going to add a flower pot over there?!!hahaha, you don't need to look for it now!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Yes, uncle, just showed you the style of skimming, the tall and short ones will come with 3,000 each, and the size will be sent to you after I go back and discuss with Uncle Lin, hahahaha, you have solved my big problem!"

The uncle was even more pleasantly surprised: "Then I really have to work overtime for a year, and I have to hire someone!"

I heard my grandfather laughing in the back: "Who are you, please? I'm really old?! My idle bones are rusty!

Everyone laughed, and my grandfather said: "I heard what you said, Ayin is really a lucky star, you see that as soon as you came to the door, you brought a year's business over, and what ...... not?"

Ah Yin said with a smile: "Intangible cultural heritage! Grandpa, your craft is intangible cultural heritage! The country is now saving it!"

Grandpa smiled from ear to ear: "I haven't read a book in the past few decades, why is it still related to culture when I am old...... Why do you talk about that......"

My aunt came out to call for dinner, and asked, "Yo, why are you chatting at the kiln entrance?" ”

As soon as the uncle told his aunt about the matter, his aunt was also happy: "Ayin and Piwa will think about it and take care of us as soon as they come." ”

When everyone entered the house, my grandfather wanted to open a good wine, but Li Junge stopped him from life and death, just saying that it was good to soak in wine, and he had to drink his grandfather's wolfberry wine.

After talking for a while, my grandfather poured the wolfberry wine, and Li Junge said: "Uncle, it's really not that I take care of you, it's the coal sand jar itself, plus I really need it, don't you know that the director of my orchid field has a whole field of dendrobium seedlings, which is tens of thousands of plants, even if it is ten plants and one pot, thousands of pots are wanted." ”

Then he said: "In addition, every year in the future, pots, new seedlings, and sales need to be used, this is really not a hammer deal, in the next few years, but also grandfather, uncle and cousin more support! Come to grandpa, start with you, this year will trouble you to suffer!"

Grandpa had a drink with Li Junge, and laughed: "I'm really happy! Come to Piwa, we are all rough and stupid crafts, thanks to you can still afford it! If there is anything that needs to be changed and repaired, you can mention it!"

Li Junge smiled: "Then I really have two sentences to say." ”

The uncle said, "Say, you young people have flexible brains and many ideas, and I really need you to mention something about this." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "I can't mention it, I just heard my grandfather say that this thing can't be sold because people think our things are stupid, so everyone doesn't think about making it more elaborate?"

The three of them looked at each other: "This is all the shape passed down from the ancestors......"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Keep pace with the times, let me say it casually, for example, this flower pot, aren't people too stupid? Then can we be like this, the main body is the same, just change the mouth, and repair the skimming from thick to thin, once the soil is put in, who can still see the bottom? Just look at the skimming, it is a thin tire flower pot!"

Uncle suddenly understood: "This method is good!"

Li Junge said: "If we feel that the thickness is not enough to support it, then can we still repair the skimming mouth into plum petals?

My cousin closed his eyes and thought, "Yes!

Li Junge said: "What I just said is one aspect, and the ratio of this mud is not the best match? Is there any possibility of improvement? Have you tried all kinds of ratios? Can you get enough strength and maintain the characteristics of the coal sand tank after improvement? Is it okay to mix some other substances except coal? Have you tried all of these?"

My grandfather and my uncle shook their heads.

Li Junge toasted his uncle again and said: "Uncle Craftsman in our village has experimented more than a thousand times on the lacquer surface of the fishing rod alone, and this matter has indeed taken ten years! But is it worth it? Last year, a fishing rod was sold for 700,000 yuan in Japan!"

The three grandfathers were shaken when they heard this, and they all felt dizzy, what kind of realm is that craftsmanship?!

Li Junge toasted his cousin again: "This should be the goal of craftsmen, how much can our clumsy sand cans be sold for now? Twenty to thirty? Even if we can make six thousand a year, it is not worth a fraction of a pole of others!"

Grandpa sighed, picked up the wine and said, "It makes sense, it does make sense! I'm afraid that I don't dare to think about it, and I'm even more afraid that I won't do it if I think about it! Boss, good grandson, Piwa has said the right thing! Why haven't I heard this truth a few decades ago? At that time, what kind of soil was a little bit less, and the old ancestor Huang Jing stick snapped down!"
