Chapter 47: The Master Craftsman

"No, it won't." Xia Xiaodong replied without hesitation: "Do you think that the words that Yingsleeve said before were really just random words from the maid?" Am I playing on the topic? ”

"No wind, no waves. I'm afraid that in the eyes of the prefect, he just treats the military attache as a watchdog. Saying that, Xia Xiaodong turned his head to look at Yurong: "The relationship between my father and the prefect is at most a face-to-face match. Zhang Wenjuan beat it, and her father might think it was good. ”

As for the trouble? The things in the officialdom, the contradictions of these little girls' families, are not a problem at all.

"And," Xia Xiaodong suddenly said seriously, "I don't believe that Zhang Wenjuan will always be good to you in the past. ”

Yurong avoided Xia Xiaodong's gaze, pursed her lips and lowered her head: "Actually, it's okay, my mother has always said not to offend her openly." She was just talking a little bit on her laurels. ”

It seems that he is not less angry.

"High up?" Xia Xiaodong sneered: "Why put up with her? She can sneer, reverse black and white, and say whatever she wants? Can we just listen? ”

"Yurong, you must know that people like Zhang Wenjuan are not terrible. Because she thinks that her identity is more noble than others, she will only use her power to suppress others, and her mind has only one bend. You hold her down, and you hold her down. Even if she wants to settle the account, it is all clear. ”

Better an open enemy than a false friend. It's generally okay to come openly.

I have to admit that after giving Zhang Wenjuan a few slaps, Xia Xiaodong felt really not ordinarily good.

It's been too embarrassing for a while.

Really, swim on a blind date and swim through. Since then, parents, relatives and friends have been separated...... I don't know how many planes are so far away, it's uncomfortable enough.

But since the crossing, he was first put on the big hat of the charming prince and thrown into Xianyiguan, and then met a superb roommate like a fat girl, and then he was taken by the old people.

finally struggled out, and finally managed to get a little bit of family foundation, and there was another robber on the way. When you arrive in Suzhou, even people like Zhang Wenjuan have to be powerful! Little, you want to bully me? Just promise not to kill you.

After Mrs. Zhuang and Xia Bashan successively expressed their support for Xia Xiaodong's behavior, this mood became even better.

Then Xia Xiaodong remembered that there was still something to do.

The so-called business is to find that Mr. Lei.

Maybe this surname is Lei Mingfeng.

Lei Feng, no, it's Mr. Lei Xiong, it's actually easy to find. Lao Zhou quickly asked for the news and invited someone over.

After the noodle shop incident, Lei Xiong was beaten by Tang Sanye, so he gasped next to him and did not leave. Later, he was released only after his name and address were recorded by the official messenger -- of course, there was no money for decoction and medicine, and no spiritual solace money.

Because he wanted to see a foreign man, Xia Xiaodong did not bring Yurong this time, but found his eldest brother, that is, Xia Junwei, who was born to Mrs. Zhuang, to meet with him.

Unlike the last time he saw it in the noodle shop, Lei Xiong cleaned up his good life. His hair was neatly combed, his thick beard was carefully trimmed, and he even wore a robe that looked like a dog, which looked a bit Sven.

"It turned out to be ...... that day Summer girl. When he saw Xia Xiaodong, Lei Xiong's eyes lit up, and he recognized Xia Xiaodong at once.

"Hmm." Xia Xiaodong nodded, introduced Xia Junwei in passing, and went straight to the topic: "I invite Mr. to come today, I have something to ask." ”

"Don't dare, girl, please.5./books/19/19510/

The phoenix pours the world's flow of frost. Lei Xiong was humble, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not have the cramped state that ordinary ordinary people often have.

"My husband said before that he made porcelain." Xia Xiaodong smiled: "I'm very curious about this, and I want to inquire about how porcelain is made." ”

It turned out to be this.

It seems that the young lady is probably idle, so she asked curiously.

"Actually, I'm not a porcelain worker," Lei Xiong explained his identity first: "The family runs a porcelain kiln in the east of the city, because my father's name has the word 'spring', so it is called a spring kiln." It's just that I've loved this since I was a child and often do it myself. As the days go by, there is a small name called 'craftsman'. ”

Lei Xiong was disappointed to find that the girl opposite had no reaction to the name 'Craftsman'.

It must be known that in the ceramic world, the name of the master craftsman is well-known!

If it is known that the master craftsman is nosy in the small noodle shop and is beaten up, I don't know how many people will be heartbroken! I'm afraid that Tang Sanye's death a few more times will not be enough.

Fortunately, the injuries that day were all on his body, and he couldn't see them on his face, so Lei Xiong didn't tell his family.

"Is the porcelain made of porcelain powder?" Xia Xiaodong deliberately asked an idiot question.

Lei Xiong laughed all at once, and his voice was as thick as a bell. This young lady is really interesting, is the pasta made of flour, and the porcelain is made of porcelain powder?

"To make porcelain, you have to have the right clay, porcelain sand and stone. Different locally produced materials and different proportions have different effects. For example, this clay is used in large quantities, and we have it in the eastern suburbs of Suzhou City, so my family has a kiln here. But other things have to be shipped from outside, such as feldspar, which was bought from Qiyang Mountain......"

Speaking of porcelain, Lei Xiong gushed endlessly, from the use of materials to the selection of materials, to the billet drying, drawing into the kiln molding, etc., it is really a treasure.

Xia Xiaodong listened to it with relish, this is the original version of the ancient porcelain-making technology, and you can't hear it.

However, Xia Xiaodong did not plan to make porcelain, although she had a lot of modern porcelain-making recipes in her stomach - Xia Xiaodong studied applied chemistry, which is an extremely practical subject.

Lei Xiong was not worried that Xia Xiaodong would rob his business, but the commander was too far away from the porcelain business.

Of course, officials will not rely on all their lives to live on money, and there are many gray incomes, and there are not a few people involved in business, but they are generally shareholders who turn around the corner and will not operate directly.

If Commander Xia really intended to intervene, Lei Xiong would actually welcome it.

Don't be afraid of too much backstage.

"Does the porcelain industry require a lot of people?" Xia Xiaodong tilted his head slightly and asked very innocently.

"Of course." Lei Xiong said with a smile: "The materials transported are all coarse materials, which need to be crushed, counterweighted, sifted, and some have to be pre-burned, and then there are several processes for billet making, blank drawing, and printing blanks, and it is even more delicate work to glaze in the kiln. ”

"That's great!" Xia Xiaodong clapped his hands and said, "Now the victims are gradually gathering outside the city. Since you need so many people, wouldn't it be better to invite some disaster victims to work and provide work for relief, so that you have people to do things, and the disaster victims will have a way to live. ”

"Ah......?" Could it be that the young lady who commanded the envoy came to her to help with disaster relief? Lei Xiong's face darkened a little, and he was embarrassed: "These jobs can only be done by skill, and those victims may not be able to do it." Besides, my family has already hired a lot of workers, so I can't just drive them away in order to give the victims a job. ”

It's better for the ladies to stay in the embroidery building, don't mix these disaster relief things.

"And what if there are a few more kilns?" Xia Xiaodong did not give up.
