The second day of Yao Chonghua's charcoal is just the day when the water tank of the Bi kiln is opened, there are many people to watch, Yao Chonghua is also going to the Bi kiln, he walked slowly on the street, just happened to meet the Longshan market, there are many more merchants on the street than before, and the types of goods traded are also better than before, Yao Chonghua saw the mask of Wu Zu, the white-brown coarse salt, the silk cloth woven by the woman, simply decorated with patterns and patterns, not exquisite, but there is the appearance of ancient clothes.

Uncle Hui, who is close to the bridge, has a very good business, their family has been closed to make cloth before, only opened today, the style is also good-looking, there are a lot of girls around, his women have Chun's ingenuity, and the speed of weaving silk cloth is faster than others. The big brother Zong Lu next to the Liu Shan clan, who specializes in hunting mountain delicacies and game, has a general business, his wife is in her forties, she has been making silk cloth, her eyes are premature, and she is a little rough when she makes it, and they are all wearing it when they go to the field to do farm work.

These are all things that he knows about most of the people in the neighborhood after being mixed with Shen Tu Yu Lei for a long time.

Yu Lei was an anxious man, and when he saw Yao Chonghua grinding and deliberately delaying time, he stretched out his hand and pulled him to run towards the Bi kiln.

Yao Chonghua didn't want to delay so much time on the road, but the water tank was a failure after all, and he didn't have any expectations in his heart, plus there were many people gathered, and he listened to the rumors when he went early, so even if Yu Lei dragged him desperately, his body always leaned back uncooperatively, and Yu Lei pulled very hard.

Shen Tu is older, after these few days, he knows that Yao Chonghua doesn't like to be regarded as a different anomaly, whether it is a different pupil or a "saint", he doesn't like it, and he doesn't let Yu Lei mess around, Shen Tu grabbed Yao Chonghua's other hand, and his younger brother pulled Yao Chonghua to each other, Shen Tu felt that it was better to go to Bi Bo Kiln later, and his father also explained to him that he must protect Ah Hua, and some words should not be listened to.

However, no matter how many people pulled, the Bi kiln arrived soon, after all, it was only half a tea away.

When he arrived, Jiu Yi was clearing the fire in the kiln and taking out the burning wood inside, so that it would be convenient to take the jar later.

When Bi Bo saw Yao Chonghua and them coming, he said: "The big leader is going out to a farther tribe today, so I'm waiting for you now, you have the greatest credit for the production of the water tank this time, without you, this kiln really doesn't dare to come out." ”

"The auspicious time is here, old Bi Bo, let's start." A young man with strange symbols painted on his face said to Bi Zhu.

"Okay." Bi Bi turned to the kiln, Wu Zhu held incense to the sky with both hands, chanting a spell in his mouth, everyone knelt down to worship the gods, Yao Chonghua did not understand their beliefs, knelt once in the kiln, knelt once out of the kiln, although there is still an ancient saying "there is gold under the man's knees", he also knows the impact of natural forces on the production and life of human beings, but Yao Chonghua, who has always been an atheist before, can hardly accept their superstition about the gods.

During the recitation of Wu Zhu, Bi Bo took his disciples to the kiln, first knelt down, and then got up to go in, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly felt a little afraid to go in, he thought what if it was really like Yao Chonghua said?

But Jiu Yi did not hesitate, he kept urging Bi Bo, Bi Bo knew that what he should face still had to be faced, as soon as he crossed his heart, he raised his feet and went in, when he saw the water tank, he sighed deeply, although he was prepared in his heart, but he was still indescribably low, God didn't let him fulfill his wish?

The water tank was pushed out, Wu Zhu stopped the spell, and everyone raised their heads one after another, and when they saw the broken pottery, they all felt an unspeakable sense of loss in their hearts, "Aren't we sincere enough to the gods?" ”

Yao Chonghua is also very helpless, he has long said that it will be like this, maybe everyone will be a little prepared, but more still have good hopes.

"If you can't even do it, who else can do it......"

"Obviously I was in high spirits before, but in fact, it's just that."

"Maybe those things shouldn't exist, otherwise how could the kiln god not bless them."

"The saints have known for a long time, but we don't want to believe it."

"What kind of saint do you still say he is at this time...... It gives us hope, but it disappoints us. ”

……

It didn't take long for everyone to disperse, leaving only the people from Bi Bo Kiln and Yao Chonghua.

The people in the Bi kiln were all full of frustration, and Bi Bo also sat on the steps in a daze, Mu Ruo was stupid.

Jiu Yi knelt in front of Bi Bo, wanting to comfort Bi Bo, but he didn't know how to say it, that was Bi Bo's lifelong wish.

Yao Chonghua looked at Bi Bo's appearance very distressed, when he first made the model, Bi Bo kept smiling, and he was very energetic in doing things, how happy he was at the time, how uncomfortable he is now, people are so old, Yao Chonghua doesn't want him to be more depressed, "Old Bi Bo, there are still a few water tank models now, I can burn them out." ”

Jiu Yi was angry, stood up and scolded Yao Chonghua, "Can you burn out? If it weren't for you, would Master be so uncomfortable? ”

Yao Chonghua was kind-hearted, but he didn't expect Jiu Yi to treat him like this, a bit of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, "What are you doing to be angry with me?" Without me, do you want to figure out how to make a water tank model? ”

"Hmph, what's the use of making a model? Didn't it end up in a lump of mud? "It's still the mud under everyone's noses, Jiu Yi is sad, and the statement of the Bi Kiln that his master has picked up is rotten in this kid's thoughts.

Yao Chonghua felt ironic in his heart, this person was not like this when he made a good model, he was still amazed at the huge model in front of Gaotao, and he often boasted in front of others, which was really vain. "Just because you can't burn it doesn't mean that others can't burn it."

Jiu Yi disdainfully, "Master has been burning pottery for more than fifty years, does your little child have such rich experience as Master?" ”

"It's true that I don't have as much experience as my boss, but experience doesn't have to be the decisive factor in ability." Empiricism doesn't have to work all the time.

"If you don't have experience, you will talk nonsense, who do you think you are, and others say that you are a saint, don't you really think you are a saint? You can come up with a way to make a mold and a tank, but it's just your master's teaching. ”

"What my master taught? Who is my Master? I've never considered myself a saint, and don't spread rumors. Yao Chonghua really doesn't like others to say that he is a saint, that kind of vanity and grievances on the table are purely superfluous, if he craves those compliments, he would have directly announced his heart plan in front of everyone, but he didn't do it.

"Who knows who your master is? I wouldn't believe you're a saint anyway. ”

Hmph, who rarely believes it, love to believe it or not, it's best not to believe it.

Ignoring him, Yao Chonghua turned around and saluted Bi Bo, "Old Bi Bo, you see that there are still a few large water tank models in the courtyard, if you don't burn it, it will be wasted, Chonghua wants to use a new method to do it again, do you think it's okay?" ”

"No way!" Before Lao Bi could speak, Jiu Yi objected, "Because of the water tank, we haven't burned clay pots for several days, and if we don't do it again, will you feed us?" ”

Bi Bo also felt helpless, it had indeed been delayed for a long time, the family had to eat up and down, he still had to focus on the overall situation, "We have to make new pottery in the next two days, the time for the small pottery to dry is not long, the kiln will be idle for two days, you can play by yourself." ”

After getting Bi Bo's permission, Yao Chonghua was very happy and wanted to start construction immediately.

Jiu Yi listened to Bi Bo's words, and gloated in his heart, "We used five days of hard work when we burned, and now the master will give you two days, and it is clear that it is for you to play, don't break the kiln." ”

"Two days is enough time for me to work hard, who in the room doesn't want to burn the water tank? Now there is hope, but you only know the decline of singing. Whether it succeeds or fails, there is hope in the heart, but no one strives for it, which is the real sadness. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ignored Jiuyi, and asked Shen Tu and Yu Lei: "Do you two believe me?" ”

The two children were also a little unconvinced, after all, where was the time for two days? But now Yao Chonghua is like their younger brother, how can there be a reason for an elder brother to let his younger brother face difficulties alone? Shen Tu said: "I don't believe much, but I will help you." ”

"Yes, we are good brothers, if there are any difficulties, we have to face them together, and we can't let Jiu Yi look down on him." Yu Lei, who has been a younger brother for eleven years and is now finally able to be an older brother, wants to protect his younger brother.

Yao Chonghua also knew that it was unbelievable that he could burn the water tank in two days, but even if the two brothers didn't believe him, they would help him, and Yao Chonghua swore that he would never forget it, "Okay, you just follow me, I promise that we will definitely make the water tank, and no matter what we do together in the future, we will not fail." ”

"Good!"

They are united...... Sanzhi Chengcheng walked towards the kiln, Yao Chonghua said that he wanted to dig a hole in the back of the kiln, Shen Tu and Yu Lei did not hesitate, and really started to dig directly in the cave.

Now there is a kiln door in front of the kiln, and a small hole on it can observe the fire and temperature in the kiln, but the air is not very circulating, and then open an opening, so that the air can go in and out of the fire before it burns, plus the charcoal they make is still relatively rough, and there is a lot of smoke, and the small hole on the top of the kiln is not enough to exhaust smoke.

Jiu Yao, who had been watching the three of them, saw that they were going to dig the kiln, and hurriedly ran over: "I just said that you can't break the kiln, what are you doing here?" ”

"We'll open a little hole and fill it up when we're done with it."

Jiu Yi was anxious, "You guys will offend the gods like this, even if you make up for being blamed by the kiln god." ”

It's a god again, Yao Chonghua rolled his eyes, "Don't bother me, this is what the kiln god told me." ”

"Really?" The Nine Caves will be suspicious: "When did the kiln god tell you?" Why didn't he tell me? ”

“…… Maybe he doesn't like you very much. ”

"Hmph, I'm so religious, how could the kiln god not like me, I'll go tell Master."

After Bi Bi knew that Yao Chonghua was digging the cave, he was also very nervous, but when he heard Jiu Yi say that it was the kiln god who told him, he didn't move again, the older people are, the more they believe in their lives, Yao Chonghua is more sensible and won't go too far.

Jiuyi, who couldn't get Bi Bo's support, had to leave with interest.

Before the end of the evening, Yao Chonghua also cut a bamboo back, and then poked the middle with a small wooden stick and inserted it into the newly dug small opening, this bamboo can barely be used as a chimney.
