Zhang Yi was speechless, does this count as buying one and getting one free?

But since he had already come to Wuli Pavilion, he naturally didn't plan to go back empty-handed, even if it was a little money, it didn't matter.

"Hey, let's have a big one!" Zhang Yi smiled and asked, "Haven't asked the eldest sister for your surname?" ”

After getting Zhang Yi's affirmation, the woman suddenly had a flattering smile on her face, and ran to the courtyard to pick the largest night pot and said to Zhang Yi: "What is your surname or not, my name is Zhang, you call me Sister Zhang." You see, this night pot is quite big, right? ”

Zhang Yi glanced at it, and sure enough, it was quite big!

I saw that this night pot was in the shape of a turtle, more than a foot high, and the huge belly was even more round, which was really a vivid one, and it could be seen that the craftsman who made this night pot was really level.

It's just that the long *** is high, especially the open blood basin mouth, how do you look at it, how do you feel panic....

Zhang Yi is a little weak, if his brother puts it in.... Will you get a bite?

"It turned out to be Sister Zhang, long admiration, long admiration!" Zhang Yi pulled in without shame and said: "Sister Zhang, I remember that although our Jiangning ceramic industry is not developed, it can be regarded as prosperous in Wuli Pavilion before, and today I came to see how it seems to be very defeated?" And where did the pottery craftsmen go? ”

This question has been pestering. Around Zhang Yi's heart.

As he said, although the previous Wuli Pavilion was not a place where wealth and nobility gathered, it was also not lively from south to north.

But now that I come to take a look, not to mention that there is no prosperity in the past, I haven't even seen a pottery craftsman.

Such a huge gap undoubtedly made him a little puzzled, did these people have a good way to get rich?

Speaking of the current situation of Wuli Pavilion, Sister Zhang, who was originally complacent because she could sell a night pot, suddenly darkened her face.

She sighed, as if recalling the prosperity of Wuli Pavilion back then, and said: "A few years ago, the situation was good, at that time, my family made a night pot, and I was outside to help sell goods, and there were ten taels of silver in a month. ”

"Oh, there are ten taels of silver!"

Zhang Yi interjected, don't look at the business of Chunfanglou now, in fact, most of the money is the silver from the fat man and the braised vegetables.

Needless to say, the fat man is a local tyrant, not bad for money, and it is definitely worth the money to spend a few hundred taels of silver to buy two.

And braised vegetables are completely a delicacy that has never been seen in this era, which can not only accompany wine, but also make face in front of others, and it is naturally reasonable to make money.

This huge Chunfang Building, in addition to these two, is actually estimated to earn seventy or eighty taels of tea money a month.

Not to mention anything else, the venue fee, the appearance fee of the seventeen or eighteen little ladies, and even the miscellaneous tea money are all counted in it, so it is really not much.

But a pottery workshop for two people can earn ten taels of silver a month, which is undoubtedly a high-income group in this era.

"That's nature!" said that she could earn ten taels of silver a month that year, Sister Zhang's words gushed endlessly, and continued: "Not only my mouth, but even my father-in-law's side has made a lot of money, but since the porcelain trafficking in Jiangxi has been in Jiangning, it has not been as good as before.

As far as you can see, here in our Wuli Pavilion, there are not only 1,000 sets of workshops in the past, but also 500 households at the bottom. But if you take a look around, the doors that are closed now are closed, and the ones who change careers change careers, even if they are left, they are just worthless things like night pots. And it's just time to do it, on weekdays, it's all women watching, and if they can sell some and sell some, the men will either farm or go to the dock to help people carry the work! ”

Hearing Sister Zhang say this, Zhang Yi understood.

The feeling is that a large number of porcelain from Jiangxi poured into Jiangning, and the porcelain from Jiangxi is already famous, not only because of the quality of the soil, but also porcelain, not to mention that it is higher grade than pottery just by looking at it.

The most important thing is that the freight cost by water is not high, so as the porcelain industry gradually floods the market with more and more porcelain, the pottery industry naturally declines.

So many pottery masters all went to farm and work as coolies at the wharf, which still made Zhang Yi sigh.

But now that he knows the true situation of Wuli Pavilion, Zhang Yi is secretly happy, he finally didn't come in vain, he made an expression like this, and said with a smile: "Seeing that Sister Zhang's face is ruddy, life will definitely not be poor, and I want to make less money in the early years, they all say that marrying a wife and marrying virtue, with Sister Zhang, a virtuous and thrifty housekeeper, there must be a lot of savings in the family, and the eldest brother is just making money and making small money to supplement the family!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!"

Suddenly, Sister Zhang was immediately laughed at by what Zhang Yi said.

Obviously, this sentence is talking about her itch, so look at how Zhang Yi looks at it.

Sister Zhang said: "In the early years, when the business was good, I encouraged your eldest brother to buy some land, but he didn't let it, if I didn't want to live and die, let alone thirty acres, even if it was three acres of land, it was estimated that I couldn't buy it." Now it's okay, just with my thirty acres of land and just collecting rent, I can live a year, and he Dong Boss can live so leisurely now is it just a loss to me? ”

Zhang Yi immediately went up again, saying that Sister Zhang was so unhappy.

But don't say it, Sister Zhang is really lucky, the pottery workshop was so prosperous before, who knew that in just a few years, the kung fu would not be as good as before?

The two of them bragged nonsense again, and Zhang Yi asked: "By the way, Sister Zhang, my surname is also Zhang, so let's still be our family!" I came to Wuli Pavilion this time to find a pottery master, you see if the eldest brother can do it, if he can do it, I don't bother to find anyone else! ”

Hearing that Zhang Yi still had business in his hands, Sister Zhang smiled even more on her face, and said with a smile: "It turns out that I am still a brother of my family, you can rest assured, my family's pottery made in Wuli Pavilion can be counted as the second even if it is the first, and the pottery made by my father-in-law back then was even praised by the prefect, you are right to find me!" ”

"That's natural, just look at the night pot in your hand, and my craftsmanship is not bad!" Zhang Yi said with a smile: "If you can do it so expressively, you can't do it without a little effort under your hands." Sister Zhang, see if the eldest brother is free now, if you are free, please come over now, I'm here... Hehe, I'm going back to the city after I finish my errands! ”

"Yo, look at me patronizing and talking, so I forgot that you still have something to do, big brother!" Sister Zhang hurriedly suppressed the desire to speak, after all, although listening to the compliments made her very happy, but there was no money to come, seeing that Zhang Yi said that he would rush back to Jiangning City, he didn't ink: "Your eldest brother is helping people carry the work at the dock, but it's okay if he's not there, my father-in-law is making a night pot in his workshop over there, go, I'll take you over!" ”
