People who have never loved are more slow to respond to feelings, and they are even less interested in other people's little feelings for men and women. After getting used to being single for a long time, Gu Qing doesn't think there is any point in marrying a mother-in-law, of course, making money is not necessarily much happier, it is just a way to improve the quality of his life.

Today's Gu Qing doesn't have any ambitions, and his footprints have never even stepped out of this small mountain village. The whole world in his eyes is this barren land surrounded by mountains, so he will not do any unrealistic fantasies, first live his life well, and then consider whether he has the ability to dominate this world.

As for the kind of thing that is love and love, it is not essential for Gu Qing, he is used to the lonely environment, and he really can't adapt to the sudden addition of someone in his life to spend the rest of his life with.

But Song Gensheng obviously didn't think so, Gu Qing could feel the breath emanating from him like an animal in spring.

Gu Qing didn't have many times when he was kind, he was actually very indifferent to the world in his bones, because the world had also treated him indifferently.

Because of indifference, Gu Qing has no friends, and in this life, Song Gensheng is the only one, which is precious.

Gu Qing couldn't be indifferent to his friends, and the weight of friends in his heart was like a poplar tree in a thousand acres of desert.

"Gensheng, do you like that girl named Xiu'er very much?" Gu Qing asked softly.

Song Gensheng nodded without hesitation: "I like it." ”

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "I will take you to make money, and money can solve many problems, including your marriage." Orphans and widows are having a hard time, your money can also change their situation, the future is not far away, you will be a good person with money, look a little hehe, but honest, and have read books, with your conditions and sincerity, I believe that Xiu'er girl will fall in love with you. ”

Staring at Song Gensheng's eyes, Gu Qing said very seriously: "If you like it, I will help you." ”

…………

The people sent out to find the clay came back soon, each of them brought a handful of soil, some were light red, blue-gray, and some slightly white, Gu Qing didn't know how to choose which kind of clay, and invited an experienced old man in the village to come and see, and the old man didn't know if he had been injured on the battlefield, so he grabbed the soil and stuffed it into his mouth, and the shot was so fast that Gu Qing didn't have time to stop it.

All kinds of soil smacked in the old man's mouth, spit it out, and finally pointed to the pale red clay with certainty, his face full of unquestionable authority: "This is good, this tastes good." ”

Gu Qing hesitated, he wasn't sure if there was an inevitable connection between the taste of the clay and the quality of the fired pottery, after all, the purpose of inviting this old man was not to appreciate the food, but to distinguish the quality of the clay......

But this old man looked very authoritative and powerful, as if anything entered his mouth, he could distinguish the quality without any difference, like a financial expert who sat on TV and talked eloquently before the stock market crash in his previous life......

Gu Qing has always been in awe of what he doesn't understand, and is very easy-going and willing to listen to the expert's opinion, even though the expert doesn't seem so reliable.

"Then ...... Which one? Gu Qing said hesitantly.

"Pick it! I can burn good pottery by storing it! The old man patted his chest.

Song Gensheng had been watching from the side, and finally interjected cautiously: "I have a word, I don't know if I should say it or not......

Gu Qing sighed, there are so many polite words from scholars, which are both verbose and hypocritical, if there are no such polite words, Chinese civilization can make progress for a thousand years.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "You say, after I finish speaking, I will judge whether this should be said or not, if you feel that it is not appropriate to say it, I promise not to beat you to death." ”

After getting along with Gu Qing in the past few days, Song Gensheng gradually became less afraid of him, and he was not afraid when he heard the words, and he pondered for a moment and said slowly: "There are many kinds of clay brought, why can we only choose one of them?" Why can't you make a mold of each type of clay and send it to the kiln, and then you will know which clay is better after firing the finished product. ”

Gu Qing and the old man were stunned for a moment, the two quickly exchanged glances, the old man looked up at the sky, his face was solemn, as if he suddenly remembered a philosophical question related to human thought and life, so he groaned while walking, and slowly walked out of Gu Qing's sight......

Gu Qing was slightly embarrassed, and immediately returned to his senses.

It is inevitable that people will stumble. Occasionally drinking a little water in the brain can play a role in cleaning brain hygiene.

"Next, we still need someone to go out of the village to find people, find experienced old potters, and invite a few more to help us build the kiln."

Song Gensheng said: "Where is the kiln mouth built? ”

"Remember the pit I was going to bury you in the mountains yesterday?"

"Do you want to bury me again, or do you want to set up the mouth of the kiln there?"

Gu Qing smiled: "It's okay, I said that the pit feng shui is very good, after the kiln is built, I plan to kill a scholar to sacrifice to the sky, are you interested in participating in the grand event?" ”

"Nope!" Song Gensheng flatly refused.

After a pause, Song Gensheng remembered something and asked, "Did you build the kiln mouth on that pit because coal was dug up there?" ”

"Yes."

"When you burn coal and make pottery, you still plan to hide it from others?"

Gu Qing sighed: "Try to hide it, although you can't hide it sooner or later, but how long can you hide it, using coal to burn pottery is my originality, if it is known by others, this secret will be worthless, and it may also attract the enemy's scramble." ”

Song Gensheng said solemnly: "I will help you keep this secret." ”

…………

Two days later, the villagers sent out came back one after another, and Gu Qing assigned them two tasks, one was to find an experienced old potter, and the other was to try their luck in the nearby mountains to see if they could find kaolin.

As a result, the old potter did find one, it was an old man who had to lose his job and go home to farm after a pottery kiln was abandoned in the suburbs of Qingcheng County, about fifty years old, surnamed Xu, named Han, and others called him Uncle Han.

As for the second task, it was a complete failure. However, Gu Qing didn't mind, he knew that kaolin was not so easy to find, and it was already a lot of luck to be able to find an open-air coal belt in this world, and Gu Qing didn't expect that he would always have good luck.

Uncle Han, the old potter, is a very introverted person, Gu Qing tries to gossip with him to get closer, often asks him ten sentences before he answers sullenly, looking very wooden, when he is idle, he finds a random place to squat, his shoulders are shrunk, like a turtle that shrinks into his shell when he encounters danger.

"Uncle Han, the kiln mouth is built in the middle of the mountain, no problem, right?" Gu Qing pointed to the halfway point of the nameless mountain in the distance.

Uncle Han squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain, and said in a muffled voice: "Yes, but the surrounding trees with a radius of ten zhang should be cut down." ”

Gu Qing understood what he meant, fire should be used for kilns, and fire in the mountains and forests must be separated in advance, otherwise it is easy to cause mountain fires.

"You are an expert, according to your meaning, and you can do whatever you say." Gu Qing also squatted down like him, and said with a smile.
