Han Zhou estimated that these two days should be the days of the New Year, of course, she was talking about Beijing in the 21st century, not Daqin, where she is now, not Xianyang. The Great Qin used the Zhuan calendar, which was extremely complicated in Hanzhou's view. They begin with the month of October, and the leap month is placed after the month of September, which is called the latter September. The first day of October is New Year's Day, which should be the Spring Festival.

This Qin Dynasty people will choose the time, the harvest time to celebrate the Spring Festival, but it sounds a little funny, this person who created the calendar should not be from the southern hemisphere, right?

Hanzhou told her family that she would come back in the evening to make dumplings, and if she was willing to eat, she would keep some stomach. She wanted to take a look at the store.

Riding out of the horse, there was no definite goal, she just wanted to come out, alone and quietly, or a bunch of children surrounded her.

On days like these, if at home, she should be decorating the home. The child likes to be lively, and always likes to take her to the supermarket to buy those colorful decorations, Lao Chen followed and coaxed, hanging in the room like a party. They don't want to think about how troublesome it is to clean up after the New Year.

But I used to think like that, but now I don't, and I don't know if they will hang up those messy things during the Chinese New Year this year.

It is estimated that Lao Chen will still accommodate the child. In order not to make the child miss his mother, he will also pick up the child.

In the past, she would prepare a red envelope for each of her parents during the Chinese New Year, but this year, they have one less red envelope.

In fact, last year, she wanted to dress her mother up to be more festive, but she always felt that she couldn't wear it. This year, I don't know what kind of clothes my brother-in-law will buy for her.

Alas, her brother and daughter-in-law are still very good. It's up to her.

I rode around like this, and I felt that my ears were a little wooden, and I thought it was time to go back.

"Is it Miss Xiaohan?" A voice rang out from the car next to it.

Han Zhou tilted his head and was stunned for a moment, the person who lifted the curtain seemed to know.

"Hehe, girl, I don't know if I recognized the wrong person?" The man spoke again.

At this time, Han Zhou remembered that this was the monk named Xianyu, whom he met in the mulberry garden, and he took care of her.

The man wore a tightly covered fur hat, which he couldn't recognize, but the recognition of his voice was still very high. Hanzhou has always been sensitive to sound.

"It's Mr. Xianyu, right? What a coincidence I met you. ”

"What a coincidence! As soon as I lifted the curtain, I saw a girl on a horse, and if I looked closely, wasn't it the Xiaohan girl I met that day? ”

Hanzhou hurriedly dismounted, the number of etiquette is still very important. But I thought to myself, "Isn't it rare to see a woman on horseback on this street?"

Xianyu also got out of the car, and the little servant who drove the car helped him a little, and it seemed that he was quite supportive. In fact, this jade offering looks like he is in his early forties.

Seeing the ceremony, it is a greeting, it is nothing more than a heavy snowfall, and next year will be a bumper harvest year and so on.

"Girl, this is out-?"

"Well, I'm out to see the store." Han Zhou hurriedly responded. Look around, how did you get to Sanlu Lane?

"Shop?" Na Xianyu asked with great interest.

"Over there, Hu Ji Tofu Shop." Han Zhou stretched out his finger and pointed. I feel a little proud in my heart, my face is clean, and the guy is doing a good job.

"Then it seems that the girl is a young owner?"

"No, it's not, I'm just helping with it."

"Oh, that's right. I said how good this Hu Ji tofu is, it turns out that the girl is taking care of it. Small business moves the brain, amazing, amazing! Xianyu praised enthusiastically.

"Heh, Mr. praised it falsely, and then I don't have any ability, so I'll do my best!" Han Zhou said modestly.

"Huh? What is the three-plate axe? ”

Seeing this, Han Zhou shook his head in his heart, it was really hard to talk to people in this era, even if he traveled to the Qing Dynasty, at least there were almost all idioms, allusions, and afterwords.

"It's nothing, it's just a story, a person can use an axe, he has a lot of strength, and he dares to fight hard, others think he is very capable, and he will always be scared by him, but in fact, he can only make three moves, if the other party dodges, he has to do it all over again in three moves."

"Haha, interesting! Interesting! ”

"Sir didn't come here to buy our tofu, did he?" Han Zhou asked seemingly enthusiastically.

"That's not special, but I often buy your tofu, frozen tofu is like a stone in the spare room, I often tell people, if you are disobedient, I will give you a tofu." Saying that, Xianyu also made a smashing action.

Han Zhou couldn't help but be happy when he heard it, and remembered the Internet buzzwords his daughter said: buy a piece of tofu and die of it, cook a noodle and hang it, and the suicide of a foodie.

"I'm here to find what is missing, and I'm asking him for help. Look, he's in that pottery shop. Xianyu pointed.

"Oh." Han Zhou nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Why don't you go in together?" Offering jade is warmly invited.

Han Zhou thought for a moment, then nodded in response. Xianyu was in front, and she followed behind.

This Xianyu is very warm to her, and she seems to be very friendly, so let's have the right to deal with him.

Take a look at the pottery as well, maybe you can really order some.

The one who was already busy was discouraged, saying that he had just come down from the kiln. Seeing the two of them one after the other, they were first puzzled, and then they were happy.

"I didn't expect you two to come together, this is really a distinguished guest!" As he spoke, he rubbed his hands, thinking that his hands were not clean and he couldn't make tea, so he smiled and let it in.

"Don't go in, you're busy. We're going to meet soon, anyway. Xianyu said.

"Oh? Is there something wrong with the sir? He asked with no enthusiasm.

"I've been walking around lately, and I'm looking for someone to help, you're careful, young, and have good physical strength, so I'll find your head."

"Okay, sir, let me go, naturally you can afford me. I arranged the business in the store and left. Are we going to be a long time coming? "There is no sincerity on the face.

"It's hard to say, I hope that there is a rising atmosphere in the south, but now the weather is cold, I am afraid that it will not be accurate, I want to see the terrain first, and wait for the weather to be warmer before making a decision. Go and help me make some notes and markups, and I'll make an estimate. ”

"Okay, I'll go and talk to my dad and I should be able to leave."

"There's no hurry, you settle in the store, I'll come to you the day after tomorrow, you have to prepare some thick clothes, we may have to be in the wild for a long time." Xianyu said.

"Okay." He smiled and agreed, and turned his head to look at Hanzhou again. Han Zhou was picking up a pottery bowl and pondering. It must have been talking to Mr. Xianyu just now, and he snubbed Miss Xiaohan a little, he felt embarrassed, and quickly joked: "Miss Xiaohan is good?" Are you here to see the store or come to me for advice? ”

"How can you teach others at every turn? Confucius didn't dare! Han Zhou gave him a blank look.

"I wish the girl would come to me and talk, and open my dull head."

"Yes, the girl is a rare person with intelligence and perception!" Xianyu interjected with a smile.

"The two gentlemen can make fun of it, Xiao Han took it all in, I just thought it was an encouragement." He smiled and glanced at the two of them again.

The two of them laughed silently. Xianyu nodded the girl with her finger and shook her head.

"Seriously, I want to order." Han Zhou raised the pottery bowl in his hand and said to the void.

He hurriedly came over and asked, "Is this the kind of bowl?" ”

"No, it's a clay pot, it's used to put soy sauce tofu, it needs to be so big." Putting down the pottery bowl, Han Zhou's index finger and thumb of both hands were stretched out, and the size was compared. "I also have a request to print the bottom of the jar with the name 'Hu Ji Tofu' of my store."

"Is it carved? We can make a mold at the bottom, and when the tank is formed and dried to semi-dry, the two parts are glued into one, so that the process will be a little more complicated. ”

Han Zhou asked, "Can't it be formed at one time?" ”

"No, because the carcass can't be pressed down hard after forming, otherwise it may be deformed."

Han Zhou asked again: "Then if you paint it?" ”

"You mean that after drying and glazing, you paint it, and then fire it?"

Han Zhou nodded: "Hmm." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "You can do that, but I don't know what kind of paint you can use to paint to achieve the effect you want?" I don't have any paint here? Because it has to be burned with fire, it will change after burning, and the paint will definitely not work. If it is made of ink, it is better to write it one by one after the firing is completed, and the outer bottom of the jar is not glazed, so it should be able to be colored. ”

"Oh, I see." Han Zhou frowned and was silent for a while.

The pottery on the shelves is generally glazed and yellow, the shape is simple and concise, and it is still possible to make sauce tofu jars, but there is still some gap with what Han Zhou thinks. She wants to achieve a differentiated business, if she wants to send relatives and friends, she can buy beautiful canned products, not just one. But she knows that the current pottery industry is at this level, and there is not only a lack of shops. After arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was porcelain in the real sense, and the glazed ones in front of me can only be called primitive celadon, which can almost be said to be glazed pottery. So she just made the simplest request, but it seems that this is not easy to achieve.

"Girl, don't we put "Hu Ji Tofu" on the lid instead of "Hu Ji Tofu" at the bottom? Mr. Xianyu interjected.

As soon as these words came out, Han Zhou and the two of them lit up at the same time, if so, the problem would be much simpler. Just press the mold on the lid and you're good to go.

"Mr. Gaocai, I want to invite Mr. to eat tofu today!" Han Zhou gave a thumbs up to Xianyu. After speaking, I remembered that the words "invite someone to eat tofu" could not be said easily, and I couldn't help but stick out my tongue in regret.

Thinking of the "three-plate axe", Xianyu smiled, "Oh? Is there something to say here? ”

Han Zhou shrunk his neck embarrassedly, "Yes, but I won't tell you today." A woman can't say that. ”

"Oh!" The two men looked at each other, and there were doubts, but they definitely couldn't solve them.

After the sample was finalized, the quantity and price were negotiated, and the deposit was paid when the sample came out.

Before going out, Han Zhou asked, "Do you accept apprentices here?" ”

"Take in an apprentice?" He asked, "Do you want to introduce someone here?" ”

Han Zhou shook his head and smiled, "It's me who comes, and I'll be your apprentice." ”

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, what kind of situation is this, a good tofu shop doesn't do it?

Xianyu was also stunned, this girl is always different from ordinary people!

Seeing this, Han Zhou asked: "Young owner, do you want to accept it or not?" Do you want to take me to another store and ask? ”

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, I'm a little unable to turn around, and I didn't say no." I wanted to ask the girl why she wanted to do this, this one is very bitter, it is mud and water. Girl's hand, hehe, not yet-"

Han Zhou raised his hand and looked at it, the sunlight was shining through his slender fingers, a little cute pink, which seemed to be a pity. But what, life is so lonely, what are you doing? It seems that you just found something interesting, and you gave up because of this hand?

She blinked twice and said to Ji Quan: "Don't worry, I'm just doing fun, I won't do much, and I don't point to this to support my family." However, if you can accept me as an apprentice, I am afraid that the risks and benefits will be very great, so you can agree after you think about it. ”

Well, how do you say that? Are there other risks and benefits of apprenticeship? He looked at Han Zhou in confusion, and then looked at Xianyu inquiringly. Xianyu didn't understand either, so he had to listen quietly.

Han Zhou said: "I am an apprentice, only learn the basic production procedures, my focus is on the preparation of the mud and ceramic pigments used in the body, if I can, the design of the kiln may also have to make some changes, which requires a huge investment of energy and financial resources, I want to do this, but I don't know if it will succeed." I need someone to help me, but the person who helps me really has to think through. ”

Miss Xiaohan said so solemnly that the other two were silent for a while. In the end, it was Xianyu who spoke first.

"Does the girl have some plan in her heart and can grope her way on, or is there only such a superficial impulse? If he doesn't know this, he will have a hard time deciding. ”

Han Zhou licked his lips and said: "I want to make ceramics is just now, it is an impulse, but the understanding of this field is not nothing, now, the color of the pottery in front of us is relatively single, just green and yellow, different shades, practicality, but artistry is not strong, and if you want to achieve change, you have to work the raw materials, change the mineral composition in the raw materials, as for the pigments, the same is true." I said that investing a lot of energy and financial resources lies in the process of searching, as long as you find it, the rest is a problem of technical details, try a few more times, fail a few times, and the problem will not be big. ”

Hearing this, the two of them frowned even deeper, which didn't seem to be easy to understand.

Seeing this, Han Zhou explained: "Let's put it this way, for example, if you can find more delicate clay or porcelain clay, the different properties of the soil are different, the color of the firing is different, and the different billets are fired at different temperatures and times, and the effects are also different." The same is true for pigments, different mineral compositions, different colors, and different colors are fired. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, and when it came to the fact that different clay burned different things, he understood. As for changing the ingredients, he doesn't have to think about it.

Xianyu listened, the frowning brows just now relaxed, and a smile gradually appeared on her face: "Does the girl also have research on minerals?" ”

Han Zhou hurriedly waved her hand, she just knew some basic things, for the all-round development of her daughter, she had to read the exploration series with her daughter every day before going to bed, children have many problems, and it seems that they can't stay overnight if they don't solve them, so they have to answer questions while Baidu, which is completely fried and sold.

Xianyu's eyebrows furrowed again, what's the situation? Dare to reform if you don't understand? What a boldness to be!

Is this asking me the old bottom? Seeing his expression, Han Zhou had no choice but to reluctantly say: "I know some principles of minerals, and I still know some minerals." If there are too many, I dare not talk about it. ”

Xianyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "The girl knows certain minerals, does the girl know how to look for minerals and prospect?" ”

When this question came out, the eyes that had been missing became eager. This seems to be more rewarding than making pottery!

"Looking for mines?" Hanzhou thought about it, and didn't dare to say it elsewhere, where there are coal mines in Shaanxi, where there are copper mines, and I still know it in general, and I have talked about it in high school geography, but the question is whether the place name is the same, which is not easy to say. How so?

"Think about it, go north from Xianyang, or fifteen degrees further east, go all the way, and find a purple-red flower, I call it copper grass, and if you mine it in a place where the flowers are dense, you will find copper ore. As for smelting, I'm a layman. ”

Now I can only say that Tongchuan is named after copper, which is for sure, but I don't know if it was called Tongchuan in the Qin Dynasty. How many miles she can say accurately, just go all the way, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you will definitely be able to find it. The purple-red flower is commonly known as copper grass, and this thing is very "copper-eating", and even the place where a large number of bronzes have been found, the surface is full of this flower.

"Huh?" Both of them opened their mouths wide, this is not ordinary kung fu! If what she said was true, weren't all the people in the Mulberry Garden party, that was too much to digest, right?

"If you're lucky, you should be able to find an associated ore for copper, maybe aluminum, and the finished product is very light white." Han Zhou added unhurriedly.

The two were even more speechless, looking like they were concussed.

Han Zhou thought, these two people are like this, do they regard her as a goddess who can pinch and calculate? Aren't warlocks okay with everything? Immortality and overseas immortal mountains can be believed, is this outrageous?

Did I accidentally push myself to the altar today?

She didn't dare say anything more. I seem to regret it a little.

I'm a normal person, I don't have mana.
