"I don't dare to send my sister-in-law off, and my little brother will retire."

At Chen Gang's house, Chen Ming asked his sister-in-law to stay with a very sincere expression, he really didn't dare to let his sister-in-law, who was more than six months pregnant, go out to see him off. Walking out of the gate of Chen Gang with Liu Wu, Chen Ming's expression did not move, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This must go through the motions, and finally come to an end.

In the past two days, Chen Ming has to visit several houses a day, not necessarily very formally, and it is okay to visit a group of relatives in Tumen in the form of talking about common words. Chen Ming likes this kind of dealing, which is equivalent to making him shine in front of all the important people in Tumen. It's just that for the Chen Gang family, there are already five suits in this title, and they are actually the eldest brother of their half-brothers, so they have to be cautious and dignified.

Chen Gang is not at home, it is unreasonable to visit the hostess, and my sister-in-law has to see her outside this year, this is not the 21st century. Today, Chen Ming came to the gate of Chen Gang's house by taking advantage of his uncle's cousin's daughter-in-law's birthday and giving the whole Tumen the opportunity to 'send warmth'.

This relationship is really a little far away from Chen Ming. Needless to say, his grandmother's brother is also in person. One more digression, the old lady of the Chen family is the Huang family, the strongest among the Tumen aborigines. The Huang family is the landlord of Tumenji second only to the Chen family, although it is only more than 400 acres, but the entire Tumenji is only 3,000 acres. But the Huang family is small, from Chen Ming's last two generations, that is, his grandmother's generation, the Huang family is a single line, all the way to Huang Song, a cousin who is three years older.

Why is Ponderosa pine called pine? It's a bad name. But the implication, what the Huang family wants is the meaning, the pine trees are evergreen and long-lived, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the Huang family wants this meaning.

So Chen Huang confluence was easy to do, and when the older generation of Chen Ming's grandmother saw that the only one who had grown up under his knees was only an only son, all his thoughts were dispelled. The Huang family can't afford to fight with the Chen family, Chen Ming's father has seven grown up in his generation, without Chen Hui, or even Chen Cong, as well as Chen Min, Chen Jia, Chen Quan, etc., Chen Ming's grandfather's generation has four brothers!

The Chen family's incense is booming!

Chen and Huang converge, the Huang family is the first, decades have passed, the first family in Tumen has naturally changed from the Huang family to the Chen family, Chen Ming had to sigh when he knew this inside story, God help Chen!

Chen Ming's uncle's cousin is actually separated from his uncle's lineage, and his family background is not bad, but this relationship is a little far away from Chen Ming's family, and it is enough for Chen Ming to be present when he celebrates his birthday, and Chen Hui can not come back from the county seat. Then there is a big meal and drink at noon, and the end is the gift.

Ordinary people can share some leftover vegetables and oil and water, it is enough to be happy, better, return a snack box, of course, Chen Gang's family also gave a gift, Chen Ming naturally carried the gift box he specially prepared to turn around, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

That's what he does, he always wants to finish things as soon as possible, otherwise he will always be in his heart like a pimple. Especially in the special relationship of Chen Gang's family, the original Chen Ming and Chen Gang are not close in the real sense, don't think that Chen Ming doesn't move anything when he is not old, just a Gao family behind his back can also make Chen Ming understand Chen Gang's threat to himself.

Why is Gao so worried about Chen Ming's coma this time? Aren't you afraid that if Chen Ming goes, there will be no follow-up, and this huge Chen family's business will fall into the hands of Chen Gang? Chen Gang has already given birth to a son and a daughter, as long as he gives up a son to inherit Chen Ming's name, everything will not be a problem. In that case, Gao would have to vomit to death.

It took eight years for her to give birth to Chen Ming, think about how much pressure she had endured in the previous seven years? But Chen Gang's wife gave birth to his concubine early. In this social environment, the difficult sins of the heirs can never be blamed on the man, and the woman can only be blamed. The Gao family absolutely can't tolerate Chen Gang's son becoming his son's son, and he can't see the Chen family's huge family business in the hands of Chen Gang! That's why she was in a hurry to say goodbye to Chen Ming, just to let Chen Ming give birth to a noble son early!

This cannot be said that Gao's motherly love is gone, this is a very realistic and realistic reality.

After solving all the things in 'diplomacy', Chen Ming didn't care about what kind of reputation he would win. Anyway, whether it's good or bad, it's useless, everything depends on his bloodline, and it depends on whether he can burn bone china immediately.

At the same time as Chen Ming started his 'diplomacy', he took out a new porcelain recipe, and Chen Erye had already started to make preparations, planning to prepare a test firing in a certain cave in the kiln factory to see the results, and the news had already spread throughout Tumen.

Lushan belongs to Ruzhou, the famous Ru kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty is on this land, there is a long history of porcelain firing, Liangwa Town in the county, until now it is also a very important source of porcelain in western Henan. It's just that the grade of Lushanhua porcelain is too low, and the porcelain produced by many kilns in Liangwa Town can be directly equated with the grade of coarse porcelain bowls, which is too low. The force of the earth gate is not high. Today's Ruzhou people no longer have the pride and confidence of the heyday of the Ru kiln, and the firing of porcelain is just for survival for many workers engaged in this kind of work and the bosses who operate the kiln.

Therefore, for the 'new recipe' that Chen Ming came up with, many people 'watched' with the attitude of reading jokes, and some people 'watched' with curiosity. How much Chen Ming's specific reputation value can be brushed out of the Tumen, the most important thing is his identity, and then a small part depends on the firing of bone china.

It's like the 'second generation' going down to the grassroots level to gild, if you want to rise up as soon as possible, you must have the results to show your hands, right? If not, your second-generation identity is still firm and unshakable, but it would be delusional to look back with a golden glow.

Bone china was invented by the British at the end of the 18th century. It was named after the addition of the ashes of herbivores such as cattle and sheep to its clay (preferably cow bone meal), and was synonymous with high-grade porcelain in later generations. Chen Ming didn't know if it was because of the power of Western civilization or if this thing really deserved such a high value. Anyway, bone china is the only porcelain invented by Westerners, and it has been praised to the extreme by Westerners, especially John Bull. He had also seen bone china in the mall, and it was quite beautiful. Bone china is very white, so it is easy to outline on it. But if you want him to say how good bone china is better than ceramics, Chen Ming really can't say.

In Chen Ming's cognition, bone china is very high!

He also knew that bone china appeared purely by chance, and that bone china was strictly a less successful imitation, but the Europeans got fantastic and unexpected results from failed imitations. The Obaro people love Jingdezhen's thin porcelain too much, also known as "fetal porcelain" and "eggshell porcelain". This thing was introduced to Europe at the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and shocked the whole of Europe!

The history book "Tao Ji" of China's own family all says that this kind of porcelain: "thin as paper, white as jade, bright as a mirror, and sound like chime". Praise to the fullest!

The European saying is no worse: "thinner than paper, whiter than milk, more transparent than glass" (literal translation).

This porcelain is invaluable in Europe. A piece of porcelain can even be exchanged for an army. What's even more amazing is that this kind of porcelain can even be made into lamps, but it has a more fantastical effect than glass lamps.

In order to achieve a "more transparent than glass" effect, in 1794, the British inventor William Walson added animal bone meal to the clay. Bone meal can obtain calcium oxide after high temperature, which is a very mature technique in Western glass technology, is a very effective co-solvent, and is easy to form glass-like substances. Then a kind of ceramics of Europe's own people was invented. Although it is difficult to reach the thickness of about 1mm-2mm of thin fetal porcelain until today, and the color tone is slightly reddish, it is impossible to really achieve a high white color, and the bone china is milky white.

In the 21st century when Chen Minglai came, no one compares bone china with reborn porcelain, which is simply a work of art, and its value is far from being comparable to bone china. Reborn porcelain is no longer considered porcelain - everyday use, but a high-value artistic luxury.

Anyway, Chen Ming doesn't think that bone china is really as high as its forced grid, but this is an innovation for Chinese porcelain manufacturing, and it should be able to produce a lot of value. What's more, there are only two in one. Its significance to Chen Ming is by no means the economic interests of the industry it represents.
