The temperature of dry firewood and charcoal is about 500 to 600 degrees, while the burning temperature of ordinary raw coal reaches more than 1,500 degrees, and high-quality coal can even reach 2,000 degrees when it is fully burned.

Well, that's the knowledge point.

As we all know, the higher the temperature, the more impurities in the clay can be separated, the tighter the embryo of the ceramic, and the better the quality of the firing.

This is why Gu Qing is so confident in opening a pottery kiln, in this world where no one has discovered the beauty of coal, the pottery fired by Gu Qing is absolutely unique in terms of quality, and there is no one.

Firing pottery is not complicated, the clay is kneaded into the pottery kiln, and the fire is fired, which is theoretically similar to steaming steamed buns.

Gu Qing is a layman, although the idea was put forward by him and the matter was initiated, but in the end, he completely obeyed Uncle Han's advice in the step of making pottery, and would never do the stupid thing of a layman leading an insider.

The common problem of people is that they always feel that they are better than others, from national politics to professional fields, it is the first thing to say, and if you really let this kind of person do it, the result will inevitably be a mess.

Gu Qing and Uncle Han dug a lot of coal out, and after the fire was lit, Gu Qing and Uncle Han squatted side by side outside the pottery kiln, watching a burst of green smoke rise up, and Gu Qing's mood became more and more expectant.

The days of worry-free food and clothing should not be far away, right? The beautiful life of being able to eat big fish and meat every day beckons to him.

Pottery firing is a slow process, and it is not possible to fire the pottery immediately after it is sent to the kiln, and it takes about three days to wait patiently before it can be released from the kiln.

Gu Qing waited for a while and then felt impatient, and beckoned Uncle Han to go down the mountain together, but Uncle Han shook his head and refused.

"After opening the kiln, the potter can not leave, this is the rule, to always keep an eye on the kiln, beware of accidents, a little careless, the whole kiln of the pottery will be all wasted, since you have eaten this bowl of rice from the owner, the old man can not be ashamed of the owner." Uncle Han's attitude was resolute and authentic.

Gu Qing suddenly felt admiration.

This is probably the legendary craftsman spirit, down-to-earth duty, meticulous, even if there is no innovation, but all his life is conscientiously abiding by the rules of the industry, half an inch dare not exceed.

Gu Qing found that he had some subtle changes in the mentality of the ancient people.

When he first came to this world, Gu Qing was in a very complicated mood, he was cold to the strangers around him, and always felt that they represented ignorance and backwardness, although he couldn't say that he despised it, but he had to admit that he had some superiority in his heart.

Until today, Gu Qing finally gradually put away his inner sense of superiority, and changed places, if he was an ordinary old potter like Uncle Han, would he be able to do his duty as well? This kind of stupid work does not test ingenuity, does not test flexibility and dexterity, but only seeks the word "patience".

Gu Qing asked himself, he couldn't do it. Guarding the kiln mouth alone, enduring a long period of loneliness, repeating monotonous and boring work, day after day, Gu Qing may go crazy.

What you can't do yourself, and others do it, you should be respected.

"That's going to be hard for Uncle Han." Gu Qing smiled and said, "Every day, I will ask Gensheng to bring you meals, three meals a day, a lot of yours." ”

Uncle Han was flattered and said uncomfortably: "Two meals are enough, two meals are enough, the owner is really a good person." ”

"Three meals, don't fight. You look at the kiln mouth of the matter, you are an old potter, more experienced than me, you are a senior, don't treat me as an owner in the future, as a junior, do a good job, if I have a developed day, I will not treat you badly. ”

Uncle Han was very moved: "Don't worry, if you can't burn a kiln of good pottery, I Xu Han jumped into the kiln to worship the gods." ”

Gu Qing smiled, he knew that the extra meal and his humble attitude had increased Uncle Han's loyalty.

It's worth it.

…………

Since the crossing, Gu Qing found that he might be sick.

The word "may" may not be used very accurately.

When getting along with Song Gensheng and the villagers during the day, Gu Qing has a warm attitude, although he is not enthusiastic, at least he is like a spring breeze, about his wind comments, recently in Shiqiao Village like green smoke rising from the ancestral grave, widely praised and welcomed by the whole village, if it is superficial and counts the appearance, no matter from the appearance to the heart, he is the most beautiful boy in the village, a part-time father.

However, as soon as the evening came, Gu Qing returned to his Gu family's mansion, and his personality suddenly changed. He became brutal and ferocious, and he became mad.

The Ding family brothers who were locked up in the firewood room felt this change in him the most, because Gu Qing's change was aimed at them.

Since the Ding brothers were planted in Gu Qing's hands, their miserable life has been like an evil spirit possessed and cannot be shaken off.

They were locked up in the firewood room every day, tied up strongly, the first thing Gu Qing did when he came home at night was to beat them violently, the wooden stick with thick arms had been discounted by four, Gu Qing moved his hands mercilessly, like a murderous maniac, the Ding brothers from the initial hard and unyielding, to the later scolding, then crying, and finally begging for mercy, the whole process of change is very layered.

In the past two days, the Ding family brothers have changed again, they don't even say words begging for mercy, their eyes have become numb and dull, and they can't see the slightest ripple in their eyes when they see anything, but when they see Gu Qing, their eyes will suddenly become frightened and frightened, as if they see evil ghosts on a night road.

Gu Qing actually didn't want to waste time on these two rats, but recently he had more and more contact with the villagers, and when he heard that the Ding brothers had done more and more evil things over the years, the more he listened, the more angry he became, so when he saw the Ding family brothers, he couldn't help but want to beat them, this impulse was purely from the heart.

Bullying men and women, encroaching on fertile land, trafficking in human beings, bullying villagers to injure and disable, etc., are almost all evil, so Gu Qing always can't help but want to do it when he goes home every day when he sees these two goods.

After going home tonight, he beat the Ding brothers as usual, after the beating, Gu Qing sat on the ground and was tired and panting, and the Ding brothers held their heads in their hands and shrank on the straw pile in the firewood room, trembling all over, and the fear in their eyes became stronger and stronger.

They are not far from complete collapse.

"Gu Qing, kill us, give us a good time, please, okay?" Ding Dalang said weakly.

"If murder was not a crime, you should have been reincarnated a long time ago." Gu Qing said expressionlessly.

"The days have a beginning, right? Gu Qing, my two brothers admit that they are afraid of you, please let us leave Shiqiao Village, from now on, for the rest of my life, my two brothers will never set foot in Shiqiao Village for half a step, I would like to swear in the name of my ancestors' heroic spirits. ”

Gu Qing smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth under the dim oil lamp, reflecting the white light of Sensen.

"I'm not going to kill you, and I'm going to let you go."

Ding Dalang seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness, endured the pain and tried to straighten up, and said, "You ...... Are you really willing to let us go? ”

Gu Qing's smile was unpredictable: "Yes." ”

Surprise flashed in Ding Dalang's eyes: "As long as we can leave Shiqiao Village, let us do whatever we want, even if we are slaves and servants." ”

Gu Qing's eyes flashed, and his smile became brighter: "I can feel your sincerity, okay, from tomorrow onwards, I won't beat you, not only will I not beat you, but I will also try my best to heal your injuries." ”
