Chapter 104: Pottery Pipe
The time was really just right, and after the foundation was laid, Master Jin's friend also happened to send the burned pottery pipe.
"Lao Jin, you're embarrassed for me this time!" A spirited old man came over to greet Master Jin with a smile.
"Haha, isn't this a good idea, it is estimated that you will be able to earn a lot of money from this in the future, so don't complain, and thank the little girl!" Master Jin also talked happily with the visitors, and at first glance he was an old friend.
The two have been friends for many years, the old man's surname is Lin, the family specializes in burning pottery, high, low and mid-range, and there are some boutique products that are sold to dignitaries and nobles, and the net worth is more than one million to describe, if it weren't for the face of the old friend, fifty taels, five hundred taels would not be fired such a troublesome thing.
What's more, this time is really not a simple job, the pottery burned before is just some bottles and jars, never burned the pipe, and the splicing of the pipe is a problem, how to ensure that the pipe does not leak, and can be turned, this is after several days of several batches of failures to try out, this is not hurriedly stepped up firing, the workers rushed to work overnight.
"How about it, I didn't delay you to use it!" The old man was secretly happy, but Master Jin emphasized that he should use it in a hurry, and he didn't stop all the work.
"No, it's just right, I'm about to use it. You're here, isn't it? "Master Jin is not polite to him, this old guy earns a lot every year, but he always loves to cry poor, in fact, he is rich.
"How about not inviting me to visit, and I will rely on you to sell me all my pipes in the future?" The old man was optimistic about the business opportunity early, and he had heard about the heating. In the future, this will inevitably be a matter of comparison between dignitaries and local tyrants and gentry, and the Li family's house can be used as an example. Needless to say, as the place where the pottery pipes are currently fired exclusively, it will definitely attract a large number of people.
He thought about it, he could add a beautiful pattern to the pipe, and it would definitely sell for a sky-high price, and those rich people didn't care whether it was good or not. As long as it is expensive, it is the capital of their flaunting comparison.
"No problem, are we ready to start? Hey, exactly. Brother Li, let me introduce you, this is my friend's surname Lin, and we are both older than you. Just call him Brother Lin! Master Jin introduced Li Qingshan. He and Old Man Lin are both nearly sixty years old, and they are indeed older than Li Qingshan.
"This is Li Qingshan, the head of the Li family, and the house is his." Master Jin introduced each other, and there will be a lot of contacts in business in the future.
"Brother Lin, I'm really bothering you, and I sent it to us personally!" Li Qingshan was commanding on the other side just now, and when he saw someone coming, he came over to say hello. The things he needs are indeed quite complicated, but he has heard Li Hui say this. So I'm very grateful.
"What's polite, after I use it well, my things will rely on your house to promote me, you can't shirk!" With Master Jin's temper at a glance, if you look at it right, you will feel that this person is all kinds of good, otherwise you don't want to shake it.
"Brother Lin is too modest, I will never shirk if I can help!"
"Alright, you two don't shirk and excuse yourself, let's start construction quickly!" Master Jin couldn't wait, and he wanted to see the effect of his design soon, so at this time, he was more anxious than the Li family, and kept rushing to work on the premise of ensuring quality.
"Haha, you're still old-tempered, you have to see something new soon, can't you wait!" Old man Lin laughed, the old friend's quick temper will never change for the rest of his life.
After the foundation was built, there was a space left on the ground to lay pipes, according to Li Hui's design drawings and things modified by Master Jin, Master Jin personally commanded a little bit, room by room, and began to lay pipes.
This is a complex project, and it is the first example of this dynasty, which requires not only that every room be present and that the rooms are connected to each other, but also that the water flow can be circulated to achieve a balance of water flow and ensure that hot water can flow through every pipe, which is the most difficult thing to do, and Master Jin must personally supervise the work.
"You can't do this, young man, the outlet pipe must be here, so that the water can flow to the adjacent room! If you want to do this, you still have to do it! Master Jin gave an order, and the young man's hands shook in fright, and he quickly stopped his movements, laughing, this is pottery, not only expensive but also not strong, and it will be wasted if it is not done well, but it is all silver for nothing.
And Master Jin, he has already done experiments with bamboo pipes at home, regardless of the fact that there is no project so vast, it is just to imitate a few rooms, but the truth is the same, he knows best where this point is, a wrong position will affect the next place, sloppy, no, he personally went into battle, to demonstrate to the big guy.
"Pay attention, this placement must let them pass through the place I painted, and they can't be placed at will, so that the water will not flow through each other, and there will be a chance that some rooms will be hot, and some rooms will not be hot!" Master Jin installed it by himself.
Li Anfu and others did not miss any opportunity to learn, and people who were originally busy working in other places also hurried over to take a closer look, listen carefully to Master Jin's explanation, and ask patiently if they didn't understand.
"That place just now needs to be paid attention to, and one more point is also very important, that is, the interface should not be leaked, this is not a good joint, you must slowly buckle them up, by the way, Lao Lin, you come and tell them, you know this best." This is not Master Kim's forte.
"We also tried many times when we fired, in order to prevent them from leaking, we have set up hidden buckles here, you see, like this and this kind of is just able to buckle up, if it is the same joint, it will not work, even if it is connected together, there will be gaps, and just in case, I also asked the blacksmith to make some ring buckles, and then buckle this after the pottery pipe is connected, and then smear tung oil, so that you can prevent rust!"
Speaking of his work, Master Lin gushed endlessly, not only explaining the firing process, but also explaining the specific details of the combination installation, after all, who can make things knows best, if you let the Li family talk about the process of burning bricks, it goes without saying, it is absolutely detailed and easy to understand, this is the art industry has a specialty.
"Do you understand?" Master Jin is afraid that some people will not understand, and it will be troublesome to change it after everything is paved. After all, it is impossible to wait for all the pipes to be laid before doing the next work, it must be done at the same time, paving this room, and then laying another one can be laid with bricks and start covering.
