Chapter 153: Kimchi Jar

Lao Jin listened to Liang Chuan's words, and said with a smile: "Others always think that the outside world is good, and the money is easy to make with good faces, but I don't think so, I think the ancestors are much better than us, but they have been in this business for several generations, and no one will think about doing something else." At this point, I have to persevere, and I can't break the inheritance. ”

Liang Chuan said very approvingly: "It's good to have your own beliefs, this craft can be passed on from generation to generation infinitely, and it will be a treasure in the future." ”

Lao Jin was also quite strange, "Little brother, you don't look like a local, is it the first time you came to buy a cylinder?" After talking so much just when we met, Liang Chuan was also a little embarrassed, and he had a feeling of familiarity.

"No, I just moved to Fengshan, and there is a lack of a kimchi jar for making pickles at home, so I inquired all the way from Fengshan, and finally found you here."

"Yo, that's not easy, you see what you need in my city, if there is a special need, we can also order it here, and we can meet your requirements, not Brother Jin I'm bragging, now we Xinghua is left with my kiln to burn this clay jar, I don't know other places, if you want to buy it, you can only come to me."

"It's okay, I'll take a look first."

The clay jars they make here are large and small, and the shapes are basically small mouths and big bellies. Liang Chuan wanted to buy a few big ones and soak them more at one time, after all, there were many people in the family, so they could eat it in a few days.

Liang Chuan circled around these jars, and finally found a few kimchi jars with sinks on the edges, this kind of trough is also called the rim of the altar, the rim of the jar is lower than the mouth of the jar, and when pickling the kimchi, a dish will be placed as a false lid to prevent raw water from invading.

Liang Chuan took a look at the body of several kimchi jars, the jar for making kimchi is best fired out of the old enough heat, the glaze is good, there are no cracks on the cylinder, no trachoma, although the shape is not too beautiful, but it cannot be too ugly.

The first time Lao Jin saw the person who came to buy the pottery jar to look so carefully, Liang Chuan didn't ask him, he followed quietly behind, looking at the young man with a smile.

The clay jars made by myself are all fine, and the bad ones are moved to the river and broken. Liang Chuan came all the way and saw that so many broken clay jars were the defective products they had destroyed.

When the kiln is opened, the big vat on the side of the kiln has obvious yin and yang fire marks, because the cylinder wall close to the kiln eye is in direct contact with the firewood thrown from the kiln eye, showing an obvious roughness, and the glaze is matte, while the glaze of the cylinder wall on the other side is black and shiny, smooth and connoisseurship. This is the result of unstable humidity control in the kiln, and occasionally there will be several defective products due to changes in humidity, but most of them are still perfect.

Liang Chuan's fingers were bent, and he knocked on the cylinder a few times, and there was a burst of steel sound from inside, and he was quite satisfied with me, and asked, "Can I take these cylinders to Hehe to try?" ”

"Of course you can, but this tank is a bit heavy, and you may not be able to carry it alone." Before Lao Jin finished speaking, Liang Chuan picked up the big vat weighing dozens of catties as easily as grabbing a chicken, and went straight to the river, which frightened Lao Jin's eyes.

He has been selling the cylinder for so many years, and when he saw someone lifting the cylinder for the first time, he not only didn't want anyone to help him, but also carried it so easily and freely. He followed Liang Chuan, and the two of them came directly to the river.

Liang Chuan pressed the clay jar into the water, and the buoyancy of the water was great, but Liang Chuan's power was greater. Hey, with a hard hand, the water tank sank obediently like an obedient child. Liang Chuan's eyes looked at the inner wall of the water tank, and his eyes swept every corner, not letting go of a little place.

Lao Jin looked at Liang Chuan carefully, he was looking to see if the jar had sand holes, cracks, and whether there would be water seepage, if these problems appeared, the pickled things would soon rot and deteriorate.

This little brother is too powerful, the water tank is placed in the water, and he can't be subdued without a few hundred catties of strength. Looking at the cylinder and looking at it so carefully, it can't be that another cylinder kiln was opened somewhere else and sent over to test it.

Liang Chuan looked at it for a long time, and the wall of the tank inside was as dry as ever, and there was no water seepage at all. Lifting the water tank and returning to the clearing. In the end, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said to Lao Jin: "Brother Jin, the quality of your cylinder is quite good, can I try again in the end, burn a paper in the cylinder, the effect is satisfactory, how about I buy your cylinder?" ”

Lao Jin didn't know what he wanted to do, but said a little reluctantly: "In the past, many people came to me to buy pottery jars and go back to make pickled vegetable jars, but I haven't seen you so much. This may be your exclusive secret ingredient, but can you tell me what the reason for you to do this, I promise you, I will not tell anyone else, and when others buy my jar in the future, I will introduce it to others like this. Otherwise, you burned a fire in this new jar, and others didn't know to buy it back next time, and they thought it had been used for something else? ”

Liang Chuan touched his head and said with a smile: "What is the truth of this, I don't understand it very well, a friend of mine told me, he said that the jar tried out in this way is taken back to the kimchi, as long as the method is right, the pickles will not be too bad." ”

Lao Jin hesitated for a while, his curiosity was also quite heavy, and said, "Okay, then you can try." ”

Liang Chuan said again: "Can you give me a roll of waste paper, order it." ”

"Wait a minute." Lao Jin ran to the house, and soon ran out again, holding a few pieces of yellow paper that Liang Chuan had already lit, for fear that the yellow paper would be burned and run fast.

Liang Chuan picked up the cylinder head that was resting on the side of the jar, ran to the river to scoop up a large basin of water, came back and poured it on the edge of the altar, and shouted at Lao Jin: "Quickly put the paper in the jar and burn it!" ”

The yellow paper burns very slowly, but there is not much yellow paper, and when it is finished, it will be gone. In this era, there is not much paper in every household, because it is not needed. Lao Jin carefully put the yellow paper in the jar, for fear that the fire would be extinguished.

The yellow paper burned slowly at the bottom of the jar, and Liang Chuan closed the lid of the altar.

"Wait a minute." Liang Chuan said.

Lao Jin stared at this jar he made with his own hands, for fear of missing some earth-shattering changes.

A miraculous thing happened, I saw that Liang Chuan poured half a tank of water on the edge of the altar, as if someone was hiding in the altar, and slowly, all the water on the edge of the altar was sucked in! Lao Jin learned the craft from his previous master, and now he is a teacher, and he has been doing pottery jars for so many years, and he doesn't know that there is such a thing!

"This... What's going on? Lao Jin was dumbfounded, and his words were not good.

Liang Chuan looked at it and thought in his heart, sure enough, it will really have this effect, the ancients will not deceive me.

The water around the altar was slowly sucked away. Lao Jin was a little shocked and stammered, "I can. . . Lift it up and take a look. ”

"This is your altar, why did you ask me about it." Liang Chuan said happily.

Lao Jin carefully lifted the lid of the altar, only to see that the water on the edge of the altar had just run into the altar, he thought that someone was absorbing water in the altar, but he didn't expect that there was nothing except a little black dust from the burning of yellow paper.

"How so, do you know spells?" Old King Kong just saw this person's huge divine power, but he didn't expect to encounter this magical water-absorbing thing again, and he was immediately in awe of Liang Chuan, and there was also this god-like character in a small place.

"Where can I do any magic, the air in this inner jar has been burned, and the air from the outside has squeezed the water from the rim into the jar. If your jar is well sealed, it will have this effect, don't believe you try again. ”

Lao Jin was skeptical, after all, he didn't understand the truth of pressure. He did according to Liang Chuan, and he picked a pottery jar that he was more satisfied with and tried it again, but it was the same as Liang Chuan's method, and the water on the edge of the altar was sucked in again, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

"The water can be sucked in, which means that the quality of your tank is good and will not leak, and you can also use this method to try the quality of the tank yourself in the future."

Lao Jin is like a treasure, this method is good, and people who don't understand it are stunned. After the cylinder is out of the kiln, you can also check it.

Liang Chuan pointed to the jar he liked just now and asked Lao Jin, "How much is Lao Jin's jar?" ”

"Eight hundred dollars. I sell others for 900 Wen, one or two, I'm happy today, count you cheaper. ”

Liang Chuan took out the money from his pocket, clicked it and handed it to Lao Jin, "You order." ”

"No need to order." Lao Jin put away the money with a smile and asked, "It's a little late now, the board car may not be easy to call, why don't you come over tomorrow to transport this tank back?" ”

Liang Chuan waved his hand, "What are you waiting for tomorrow, the board car also has to pay the master, I will move back myself." ”

After speaking, under Lao Jin's stunned eyes, Liang Chuan put the altar lid into the pottery jar, and with a hey, he directly put the jar on his shoulder. Lao Jin's jaw couldn't close for a long time, and he watched Liang Chuan leave his workshop.

Yuan Ye Liang Chuan has gone all the way, and others don't even bother to look at him, because there is nothing to look at. It's not the same when I go back this time, just walked out of the workshop, a few people in the workshop looked stupid, and they forgot to do the work in their hands, they haven't seen such a fierce person for a long time.

Xiayuan Xinghua walked all the way, and the people on the side of the road all stopped their work, but sat and watched Liangchuan, half a person high, and the big vat that couldn't be hugged was carried like this. When the child saw Liang Chuan, he shouted in surprise: "The acrobatic trick tank hasn't gone home yet, it's coming out again, everyone come and see." ”

Liang Chuan carried this tank and walked quickly, and arrived at Fengshan in a blink of an eye.

"Yang Xiu, I will carry you back the jar where you make kimchi, let Yiniang go with you to buy some materials tomorrow, I'm hungry." Liang Chuan put the jar on the ground, and said to himself in his throat, no one answered him after waiting for a long time, and when he looked back, a group of women were sitting in the courtyard, looking at him one by one.
