Chapter 49 The Porcelain Factory

Shen Zhao and Shen Xiaoquan thought about it for a while, and shook their heads affirmatively, since they couldn't hit, they naturally wouldn't play this game, so Shen Xiaoquan said again: "Why do you want to buy these arrows when you know that you can't hit?" ”

"Naturally, someone buys it, as long as it is a penny, not only play a fun game, maybe lucky, but also win ten pennies of the item, how many people can not be tempted?" Shen Lan then explained.

Shen Xiaoquan and Shen Zhao were silent when they heard this, they had been thinking about it before, and they were thinking about it from their daughter's point of view, so they naturally felt that they had lost, but at this moment, they were reminded by their daughter, and they suddenly realized that if there is really such a game, maybe they will also have the mentality of giving it a try to throw a pot, after all, it is only a penny, and the province may be able to win the jackpot, but how many people can really win the lottery? Gathering a small amount becomes a lot of income.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Xiaoquan and Shen Zhao also had a bottom in their hearts, so they naturally would not object anymore, so they didn't go shopping on the street, but planned to go out of the city early, and then go to the kiln factory by the way.

Shen Xiaoquan drove the ox cart to the kiln factory, the kiln factory was built on a hillside, in addition to the cave there is also a drying field for drying mud embryos, the whole kiln factory covers a large area, in addition to all kinds of pottery, porcelain mud embryos, as well as brick and tile mud embryos, these are to be dried to a certain degree of dΓΉ, then sent to the cave to be fired.

Obviously, the people of Shen Xiaoquan's kiln factory are familiar, and they took Shen Lan and Shen Zhao into the kiln factory and walked directly towards a row of green brick houses, this kiln factory is generally wholesale and mainly sells bricks and tiles, but will also accept small transactions, after all, no one will refuse to find a door-to-door business.

And such a large object as a water tank can't be placed in an ordinary shop, so you still have to go to the kiln to buy it, and Shen Lan's house is short of a water tank, so Shen Xiaoquan planned to come before.

"Brother Zhao, how are you doing lately?" Shen Xiaoquan took his wife and daughter to the reception place of the kiln factory, and greeted a man of some age in the kiln factory with this bright smile on his face.

"Yo, Brother Shen, what wind blew you over? This is a younger sibling and niece, right? The man saw Shen Xiaoquan and greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Zhao/Uncle." Shen Lan and Shen Zhao respectively saluted the man.

"Don't be polite, my brother and sister came to this kiln to buy some utensils?" Master Zhao asked politely.

"My girl wants to buy some utensils, brother, pick a good jar for my girl." Shen Xiaoquan smiled and spoke.

"Okay, I'll take you to the kiln to pick, do you want anything else? If you want it, you can pick it all together, and my uncle's will definitely give my niece some cheapness. Master Zhao got up and walked outside with Shen Xiaoquan.

"Lan Niang, then don't be polite to your Uncle Zhao, tell Uncle Zhao anything you want." Shen Xiaoquan said to his daughter half jokingly, half seriously.

Shen Lan also saw that this Master Zhao had some friendship with his father, so he also smiled and said, "Then I'm not welcome, I'll take a fancy to something, Uncle will give me a cheaper." ”

"Okay, the girl has spoken, Uncle must give your father a few thin noodles, by the way, you have been in the belly for a few months, why haven't you seen your niece and son-in-law?" Master Zhao asked.

"Brother, don't you know that last year wasn't conscription? My son-in-law was drafted, and now my daughter lives alone, and the family is also difficult. Shen Xiaoquan sighed and replied.

Master Zhao nodded, last year's conscription was not only in Songjia Village, but in the entire Jixian County, but Master Zhao listened to Shen Xiaoquan's meaning, it seems that his daughter is now living alone alone, why is there no in-law to help her? However, thinking that every family had a scripture that was difficult to read, he didn't deliberately inquire, but took Shen Lan to the place where the porcelain was placed in the kiln factory.

The kiln factory is very large, and the place where the goods are stacked is not small, from large to small, there are all kinds of objects, Shen Lan is a little dazzled, speaking of which Shen Lan has a hobby, that is, collecting porcelain, and I don't know if women are born with exquisite porcelain, anyway, Shen Lan herself has this habit, if she goes out to travel, she can't move her feet if she sees good-looking porcelain, and at this moment she is directly brought to the kiln factory, except for those black pottery can not impress her, and those snow-white porcelain directly attracted Shen Lan's attention, so big that the blue and white porcelain jar placed at home to raise water lilies, As small as the matcha green pen wash, Shen Lan's eyes lit up, and she seemed to buy every exquisite porcelain, so what should she do?

"Lan Niang." Shen Zhao pushed Shen Lan, who was distracted, and couldn't understand how this girl was obsessed.

"Huh?" Shen Lan, who was awakened, looked at Shen Zhao with some blankness.

"Hehe, my niece is fascinated by these porcelain? I haven't seen so many beautiful porcelain, these are all good things, and they are completely different from the utensils we usually use, and they are ornaments that are to be sold to the rich and noble. Master Zhao explained with a smile.

Shen Lan nodded approvingly, if she was allowed to bring these things to her own world, they would all be antiques worth the old price, thinking of these Shen Lan wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch them, so she could only look at them with her eyes.

"Let's go, I'll take you to pick the jar, and when the jar is ready, I'm taking my niece and daughter to pick up some dishes, what do you think?" Master Zhao asked, but seeing Shen Lan's obsessive look, he wondered if he would take a pair of small vases to Shen Lan as a gift.

"Okay, your brother, I still don't believe it?" Saying that, Shen Xiaoquan followed Master Zhao forward, and Shen Zhao also pulled Shen Lan to follow.

Master Zhao led everyone to the place where the pottery was placed, and the black pottery utensils were usually coarse, not as fine as porcelain, so they were only placed in the open air.

Although Shen Lan was a little reluctant, she thought that when she made money, she would change to a good house, learn from those wayward rich people in ancient times, get a warehouse or something, and then buy some valuable porcelain to put away, and change different porcelains every day to decorate her room according to her mood, not to mention that her favorite cups and saucers must be collected.

Shen Lan didn't know anything about picking up the water tank, so it was completely handed over to Shen Xiaoquan to deal with, and it took a long time to pick a satisfactory one, Master Zhao asked people to test whether the tank was leaking, and then instructed someone to move the tank outside the kiln factory, and then load Shen Xiaoquan on the ox cart later.

After the water tank was selected, Master Zhao took Shen Xiaoquan and others to pick out the dishes, for Shen Lan, who only had four bowls at home, she really lacked these things, so she naturally picked them up unceremoniously, but she also knew that she didn't have much money, so she was also careful to pick them up.

Soon, Shen Lan picked ten plates, six blue-edged bowls of the same style as her own home, and then picked ten small bowls with blue flowers and a big soup pot, and also extravagantly picked a set of blue-flowered teapots and teacups, so she was satisfied.

"Is that all?" Master Zhao asked.

"Uncle Zhao, I also want to see some small ornaments, such as clay dolls, bird flutes, porcelain dolls and small vases." Shen Lan smiled and spoke.

"What do you want these things for?" Master Zhao asked.

"I want to set up a stall at the market, and I may often trouble Uncle Zhao in the future." Shen Lan meant to come over to get the goods, although she didn't necessarily want many things, but it was a long stream.

Hearing this, Master Zhao looked at Shen Lan, and then said with a smile: "Okay, if you have ambition, you have to honor your father and mother when you make money." ”

For diligent and motivated people, the general elders are affirmative, so Master Zhao still admires Shen Lan very much, so he took Shen Lan to the place where the ornaments and dolls are placed.

"Well, these things could get into my niece's eyes?" Master Zhao asked.

Shen Lan looked at it, the thing was not good, but it was very in line with Shen Lan's needs, so she was in a good mood and picked it up, and by the way, she also asked the price, one white porcelain doll Sanwen, three bird flutes, one Wuwen for the thin-necked plum vase, one for the blue flower vase, and one for the yellow glazed salt jar and oil irrigation.

Shen Lan picked three vases and three plum vases, five salt and oil cans, five pairs of white porcelain dolls, five pairs of men and women, and twenty cheaper clay animals, but the animals are priced according to size, the size of the big fist is two Wen, the medium baby fist size is one Wen, and the smaller one is about the same size as the bird flute, which is three Wen, among which the big Shen Lan only picked two, the medium picked six, and the rest picked twelve small clay sculptures, and picked thirty bird flutes, Shen Lan calculated in her heart that she needed one hundred and fourteen Wen, As for the dishes that Shen Lan picked before, ten plates and twelve Wen, six blue-edged large bowls for four Wen, ten small bowls for six Wen, a set of teapot for twelve Wen, and a water tank for fifty Wen, a total of eighty-four Wen, plus the previous one hundred and fourteen Wen, a total of one hundred and ninety-eight Wen, so that there is still money left in Shen Xiaoquan's hand, Shen Lan was a little surprised, but she also knew that it was not good to be greedy, so she took these first, and said that if the business was good, she would still come here to get things in the future, Master Zhao was naturally happy that she would come to get the goods in the future, According to his thoughts, he sent a painted vase of the four seasons to Shen Lan.

The so-called waste porcelain is defective porcelain, in fact, it is not completely defective, that is, some are burned and deformed, and some are really burned and cracked waste porcelain, but they are all treated as waste porcelain, and they are directly broken outside the kiln factory.

"Uncle Zhao, what are these?" Because it is a defective product, there is everything inside, and it is not limited to inferior porcelain.

"These are burnt porcelain, and they have to be disposed of." Master Zhao explained.

Shen Lan couldn't help but look at it, and felt that some of the porcelain inside looked okay, and there were no cracks, so she couldn't help but walk over and take a look, and then discussed: "Uncle Zhao, can I pick a few from it?" ”
