Happiness came too quickly, and the Ding brothers were a little dizzy.

"Are you really willing to let us go?" Ding Dalang stared nervously at Gu Qing's face.

Gu Qing said: "Look at my eyes, do you see full sincerity?" Yes, I will let you go, but first I will heal your wounds. ”

Ding Dalang said vigilantly: "Why did you suddenly become so kind? ”

Gu Qing said sincerely: "You all misunderstood me, I am not a wicked person, I beat you because you are too bad, isn't it natural for a bad person to be beaten?" Now that I'm tired of beating, I don't think it's interesting anymore, if I don't let you go, will I leave you at home to waste food? ”

Ding Dalang hesitated for a while, always feeling that something was wrong, but with his IQ, he really couldn't think of anything wrong.

"Thank you, thank you......" Ding Dalang hung his head and said.

Gu Qing said that it was true to treat their injuries, Song Gensheng and his father left a few packets of herbs, Gu Qing decocted the medicine, and half an hour later, Gu Qing came to the firewood room with two bowls of steaming medicine.

The medicine was very hot, Gu Qing put them aside, squatted down and stared at the faces of the Ding family brothers carefully.

The Ding brothers were stared at by him uncomfortably, and they didn't dare to attack, they were beaten up these days with a psychological shadow, every time they saw Gu Qing walk into the firewood room, their mood would instantly fall into the abyss, and then there was unstoppable fear and despair, even if Gu Qing sent them medicine now, they also felt trembling from the bottom of their hearts.

Gu Qing stared at them for a long time, then smiled: "Do you still hate me?" ”

"Huh?"

"I robbed your house, robbed you of your money, tortured you every day, don't you hate me?"

Ding Dalang hurriedly shook his head: "I don't hate, I really don't hate, everything is what we deserve." ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I pretend to believe that you are telling the truth." When you're healed, you won't be able to see me, will you be happy? ”

“…… Happy. ”

"Surprised?"

"Surprise."

"Think I'm handsome?"

"Handsome."

"Am I a good person?"

"Yes."

Gu Qing's smile became brighter and brighter: "Okay, just now it was just a test to test how far humans can be undisciplined when surviving." ”

The medicine that was set aside was already slightly warm, Gu Qing took a bowl and blew it, handed it to Ding Dalang, and said softly: "Dalang, drink the medicine......"

…………

Three days later, the pottery in the pottery kiln had been burned, Gu Qing and Song Gensheng went up the mountainside, and Uncle Han squatted at the mouth of the kiln with a solemn face, waiting for the pottery kiln to withdraw the fire and cool down.

"Uncle Han, do you have a big grasp?" Gu Qing also squatted beside Uncle Han.

Uncle Han rubbed his face and said with a wry smile: "Graphite kiln, the old man has lived for most of his life or for the first time, before the kiln mouth is opened, the old man can't tell the truth, the kiln mouth is opened and then see." ”

Gu Qing comforted: "It's okay, even if this kiln burns down, it doesn't matter, let's improve it appropriately, and it will be successful in the end." ”

Uncle Han sighed worriedly: "Don't complain about the old man, the old man doesn't understand graphite, if this kiln burns down, the old man doesn't know how to improve it......"

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "I heard that firing a kiln is the same as casting a sword, and you pay attention to sincerity, is there such a saying?" ”

This belongs to the scope of metaphysics, Uncle Han was stunned for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Yes, there is...... Right? ”

Gu Qing glanced at Song Gensheng next to him, and said in a regretful tone: "I said a long time ago that it is best to kill a scholar before firing the kiln......

Song Gensheng: ???

The three of them squatted in front of the kiln and waited for a long time, and the temperature of the pottery kiln finally cooled.

Uncle Han took a sledgehammer and smashed the closed kiln door open, and the three of them pulled for a while, picking up the rocks in front of the door.

A scorching heat wave rushed towards him, and Gu Qing and Song Gensheng took a few steps back together.

Uncle Han didn't care, wrapped his hands in a wet cloth, took a pottery bowl out of the pottery kiln, and immediately put it into the well water, Gu Qing and the others stepped forward and stared at the pottery bowl in the bucket, and after the pottery bowl was completely cooled down, Uncle Han took it out of the well water, squinted and carefully examined its condition.

Gu Qing couldn't understand it, but he also looked at it, the pottery bowl exuded a golden halo in the afterglow of the setting sun, it looked very exquisite, and a blue-gray color appeared on the surface from light to dark, and the colors were layered in layers, until the edge of the bowl.

Seem...... Not bad?

Gu Qing wasn't sure, so he gave up studying the pottery bowl and shifted his gaze to study Uncle Han's expression.

Seeing Uncle Han's expression gradually change from solemn to relaxed, Gu Qing's mood suddenly became happy.

It wasn't until he noticed a smile flashing in Uncle Han's eyes that Gu Qing asked, "Uncle Han, how is it?" Didn't burn it, did it? ”

Uncle Han smiled and said, "Looking at the surface color, it seems to be good, now it's time to look at the embryo inside......"

Saying that, Uncle Han suddenly lifted the pottery bowl and knocked it on a stone next to it, who knew that the first time it was not broken, and the pottery bowl was still intact, Uncle Han sighed in surprise: "This object is solid enough." ”

The force increased again, and this time it finally shattered.

Uncle Han squinted his eyes and carefully observed the broken incision, observed for a long time, and suddenly praised: "This embryo ...... Good! The old man burned the kiln mouth for most of his life, and for the first time he saw such a tight embryo, please see, this embryo is white and dense, there is no bubble at all, it is the best grade! ”

Gu Qing looked at it for a long time, although he didn't understand it at all, but he also nodded authoritatively: "Yes, it's really top-grade, white and dense......"

Uncle Han said excitedly: "Good thing! This is the best kiln fired by the old man in his life! Death is also blind. ”

Saying that, Uncle Han wrapped his hands in a wet cloth, and came out of the kiln with a few kinds of pottery, and said: "Try a few more, the owner, if the quality of this kiln is like this, the day when the owner is developed can be expected." ”

After smashing a few pieces of pottery, Uncle Han observed the embryos one by one, and sighed with satisfaction for a long time.

"Graphite, graphite...... I never thought it would be so useful, and I have seen it for a long time. ”

Gu Qing's expression moved, and he smiled: "Uncle Han, since this kiln is burned, I will officially hire Uncle Han to come here to work, my kiln is different from other places, there must be rules and regulations for doing things, let's sign a contract of employment first, how about it?" ”

Uncle Han was stunned: "Didn't you invite me a long time ago?" ”

"It's different, a few days ago was a probationary period, and from today you will become a regular. If you become a regular, you should officially file a deed. In the future, if I treat you badly, you can take the deed to the government and sue me, so I have a certificate. ”

"The owner is a good person, how can he treat the old man badly, and he will do it according to the owner's wishes."

Gu Qing paused for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Han, the method of graphite kiln is my original secret recipe, and now you also know the secret recipe, let's be a villain first and then a gentleman, you can't leak the secret recipe, otherwise you will eat Judge Wang's, this article is also written into the deed, you have no opinion, right?" ”

Uncle Han is a craftsman, and the craftsman is very sensitive to the word "secret recipe", and he immediately reacted when he heard the words, and it turned out that he had been in contact with other people's original secret recipes in the past few days.

Uncle Han was suddenly moved, what kind of trust is this, not close to him, the owner has just met him, and he doesn't mind telling him the secret recipe at all, even in the era of simple folk customs, Gu Qing's approach is also very atmospheric and bright, as for the matter of signing the deed, Uncle Han has no opinion at all, after all, it is someone's secret recipe, telling him that one person is already a great trust, if you let others leak out, it is not called atmosphere, it is called lack of heart.

"Sign, sign! Don't worry, I, Xu Han, swear to heaven that I will never leak a word of the secret recipe to the outside world in this life, not even my mother-in-law and baby. ”

Gu Qing knew that in fact, the deed could not guarantee anything, but the process that should be there had to be, and if he leaked it in the future, he would not be too passive.

The kiln was successful, and the next question was sales.

Gu Qing turned his head to look at Song Gensheng and said, "Do you know the businessmen near Qingcheng County?" ”

Song Gensheng shook his head: "I rarely go out of the village, and the only businessmen I know in my life are the merchants who occasionally come to our village to exchange goods." ”

Gu Qing thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's okay for the merchant, find a way to find that merchant, come to see me as soon as possible, and talk to him about the deal." ”
