“…… Alright, alright, what are you thinking? ”

Zhu Shen's expression softened, and he snorted: "I'm not dead, and my salary will be paid to you, and there are also various allowances and subsidies, which are not less, what are you worried about?" ”

"That's why everyone is worried......"

Someone is muttering in private, although this job seems to have no future at all, but Zhu Shen is the second generation of local tyrants, and he is very willing to spend money, and everyone's income is very good. If the workshop closes, where can you find such a high-paying job?

"Forget it, I'll teach you a lesson later."

Zhu Shen didn't know the psychology of a group of employees, but he just felt that in front of Qi Xiang, he couldn't lose face, and after glaring at them viciously, he changed the topic and introduced: "This is my friend, he has been on a whim recently and wants to burn a kiln of things, you guys help him and help him do this, do you know?" ”

"Ah......h

When several young people heard this, they were surprised and showed joy one after another.

You know, they have been idle for a long time, and they don't work every day, which seems to be easy, but in fact, everyone has a sense of guilt in their hearts.

This is also the normal psychology of ordinary people, who are paid according to their work, and it is justified. If you don't work, you have this money in your hands, and everyone always feels unsteady and uneasy.

Now that the construction is finally going to start, everyone must be very happy, at least it is confirmed that this workshop will be for a while, and it will definitely not be poured.

"Boss, don't worry, this matter is on our cover."

"Zhu Shao, we are familiar with this matter, there is absolutely no problem."

"Tell me, what do you want to do, we'll start working right away......"

Several people expressed their attitudes one after another, and they were very positive.

"That's pretty much it." Zhu Shen was quite satisfied, and then looked left and right: "By the way, what about Feng Gong." Are you here today? ”

"Coming, coming, busy inside." A young man cleverly said, "I'll call him ......"

"No, you're busy. Let's go on our own. ”

Zhu Shen waved his hand, and after sending a few young people, he walked inside with Qi Xiang, and explained: "The Feng Gong I am talking about is my advisor. He was a master of ceramics. It took me a lot of money to ask him to come to my workshop and show me how to make pottery. ”

"Oh......" Qi Xiang nodded slightly, and he also understood a little in his heart that Feng Gong should actually be regarded as Zhu Shen's teacher. It's just that because the price is clearly marked, there is less master-apprentice affection and more interests.

Qi Xiang walked along, in fact, he was also paying attention to the situation in the workshop. Upon closer inspection, he found the workshop in the middle. All the tools are available, everything is in order, and there is not much clutter.

A spacious room, probably a storeroom, with several large shelves in it. The shelves are filled with pottery of all kinds, which are faintly reflected in the sunlight.

Qi Xiang's eyes narrowed, and he pointed with his hand: "Those things, you made them?" ”

"Not exactly." Zhu Shen smiled and said, "Some of them were made by me, and some of them were made by Feng Gong......"

"I see." Qi Xiang nodded and said, "The ones that rested on the ground." It's yours, right? ”

“…… Get lost! Zhu Shen glanced at it and immediately became angry: "Those are clay blanks that have not been burned, but whether they are half-finished products or not." My technique is not that bad. ”

Qi Xiang smiled lightly, and his steps were a little faster. After walking through a narrow road, a wide space suddenly opened up in front of me. At this moment, in the wide space, there is a middle-aged man about fifty years old. He was sitting next to a spinning roulette wheel, concentrating on his work.

The roulette wheel was spinning, and there was a ball of clay on the disk, and the middle-aged man pinched and pulled the buckle with his ten fingers, and the clay immediately turned into a bowl. However, as he lifted it, the small bowl slowly expanded, and then continued to extend and shape, and gradually became a jar.

After the jar was formed, the speed of the roulette wheel slowed down, and the middle-aged man carefully retouched it, making the shape of the jar more perfect, delicate and beautiful......

At the right time, Zhu Shen opened his mouth and called: "Feng Gong, I'm here." ”

"Hmm."

Feng Gong replied in a nasal voice, but did not raise his head, took a bamboo knife in his hand, and gently scraped off some traces of potholes on the surface of the jar, making the surface of the jar neat and smooth, and more soft and bright.

"He's like that, when he gets up to work, he has no distractions and no ears to outside his body." Zhu Shen turned around and explained: "Focus! ”

"Understand ......" Qi Xiang didn't care, and he didn't feel that Feng Gong was slacking.

After all, only with such concentration can you make beautiful things. If you are half-hearted at work, you don't expect any quality.

"Don't care about him for now,......" Zhu Shen signaled again: "Let's go, take you to visit the kiln." ”

The mouth of the kiln was just behind the open space, and it was a tall cylindrical building. The whole building should be more than ten meters high, the whole body is made of red bricks, the surface is relatively fresh, but the interior is full of black scorch marks.

Zhu Shen took the lead, walked into the tunnel from the kiln entrance, and said triumphantly: "My kiln, which is a comprehensive kiln, can burn pottery and porcelain, and it is divided into two systems, recycling ......"

"Which two systems?" Qi Xiang asked curiously.

"Gas and electricity." Zhu Shen explained: "You can burn gas or you can use electricity to burn the kiln. ”

"Gas? Electricity? Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Isn't it supposed to burn firewood?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Shen turned around and sneered: "How many years ago are you doing this?" Don't you know that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the upgrading of technology, all kiln factories in the country, except for a small number of scientific research institutions, are not allowed to burn firewood? ”

"Why?" Qi Xiang frowned and said, "It's not good to burn firewood?" ”

"Of course it's good to burn wood." Zhu Shen sighed: "It is recognized all over the world that only ceramics fired with firewood, especially pine wood, are of the best quality." The problem is that conservation and environmental protection are the mainstream of world development. ”

"I don't know how many tons of firewood will be consumed for a kiln of ceramics. How many kilns are there all over the country, all superimposed, and how much firewood should be consumed? ”

Zhu Shen shook his head and said: "If it is not updated, the consumption will be too great, and it will be a serious waste!" ”

"Tsk, you really understand." Qi Xiang said in a low voice, seemingly a little disappointed.

"What?" Zhu Shen vaguely heard it, and suddenly a spirit came to his senses: "Wait a minute, you are an expert, it's impossible not to know...... Wait, you're fooling me? ”

"It's not a fool." Qi Xiang chuckled: "I just think that a local tyrant like you either doesn't do it, or you must use the best thing to do it, so I suspect that when you burn the kiln, you will use firewood......"

"You think beautifully." Zhu Shen couldn't help but roll his eyes: "During the peak period, I have to burn the kiln every ten days, and no matter how much firewood I have, I can't afford to consume it." Moreover, Yixing also has strict management in this regard, and does not allow the beautiful places to be polluted. ”

"Whoever dares to violate the regulations, wait to go to the squatting room."

Zhu Shen pouted and said: "I'm just a rich second generation, not an official second generation, and I don't have the qualifications to do whatever I want." ”

"You're clear in your heart." Qi Xiang expressed his appreciation.

"Hmph." Zhu Shen didn't bother to respond, so he just walked into the kiln.

Qi Xiang followed behind, also watching the situation in the kiln. I saw that the space in the kiln is not small, and the fundamentally different functions are divided into several intervals. For example, the combustion chamber, the kiln room, the fire tunnel, and the fire holes of different sizes used to adjust the furnace temperature.

Among them, the kiln room is also fundamental. Semi-finished ceramics are placed in the kiln chamber and smoked at high temperatures before the finished ceramic objects are obtained.

Qi Xiang visually inspected that there should be no problem with the kiln room at the mouth of this kiln, where tens of thousands of large and small ceramics are placed. While watching, he was also a little curious: "By the way, what did you do with the ceramics you fired?" ”

"It's sold." Zhu Shen said casually: "I made a move at the cost price, I don't know how many people rushed to ask for it." ”

"No wonder there is not much pottery in the workshop warehouse." Qi Xiang was suddenly and felt normal. After all, Zhu Shen's workshop is equivalent to his toys, not to make money, you can play whatever you want.

"I make pottery, you play porcelain, we don't have a common language."

While speaking, Zhu Shen thought thoughtfully: "Anyway, what kind of porcelain do you want to burn, don't go to a special porcelain factory to customize, but plan to come by yourself, it feels a little wrong." ”

"Ordinary porcelain." Qi Xiang said perfunctorily: "It's cheap to burn porcelain by yourself." ”

"It's ...... to blame if it's cheap" Of course Zhu Shen didn't believe it, he had experience in this matter, and the cost of the pottery he burned himself was more than three or four percent higher than that of the kiln. After all, the kiln factory is professional and skilled, and it can reduce the cost to the greatest extent by burning more than 100,000 sets at a time. Unlike him, he burns hundreds or thousands of pieces at a time, which is naturally expensive and costly.

"It's cheap or not, that's it anyway." Qi Xiang glanced around the kiln room and was very satisfied: "All in all, I want to borrow your kiln." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Shenhun didn't care: "You can use it if you want...... Actually, I'm more curious and want to see what you're going to do. By the way, I only have the materials here to make pottery, and if you want to burn porcelain, you can only remix it yourself. ”

"It's okay, there's no need to mix ......" Qi Xiang waved his hand and said, "After a while, someone will send it over." ”

"What to send?" Zhu Shen was stunned.

At this moment, a young man came in and reported: "Zhu Shao, there is a car outside, saying that it is a delivery." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Shen was surprised: "It's really here." ”

"Well, go take a look at it for me." Qi Xiang said casually: "Then find a place to unload the goods by the way." ”

Zhu Shen didn't think much about it, nodded, and walked out.

After more than half an hour, he walked in again, with a strange expression: "What you said is those half-finished reborn porcelain?" ”

"How's it going, acceptance?" Qi Xiang smiled and asked, "Is the quality guaranteed?" ”

"You don't want to do it yourself, but buy ready-made?" Zhu Shen's eyes were full of disdain.

"It's a big factory in Jingdezhen, so it shouldn't fool people with inferior goods." Qi Xiang groaned, and seemed to be a little worried.

The two of them said their own things, and there were some unrelated meanings...... (To be continued.) )
