The so-called scholar dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself. www.biquge.info In order to save Cai Wenji, a talented woman of a generation who was thousands of miles away, Sun Lang didn't want to have lunch regardless of his identity as the noble son-in-law of Cao Mansion, so he directly found the big housekeeper in the house, selected twenty or thirty stout housekeepers, took shovels and hoes, stepped on the horse, and went directly out of the city gate, running to the deep mountains and old forests outside the city of Xudu.

There is Ziyun Mountain to the south of Xudu, and there is Yao Mountain to the west, both of which are not big or small mountains. Sun Lang asked the path clearly, and led the people to Yaoshan in a mighty way. Dozens of family members thought that this lady in the house was going to take him to hunt in the mountains, but when they looked back, why did they have to carry a hoe for hunting? Why don't you bring a bow and arrows? I thought it was wrong, and I wanted to get back, but I was afraid of the identity of this son, for fear that he would sue in front of the young lady, and his ass would have to be opened by the young lady, so no one felt that he would say half a word.

When he came to Yaoshan, Sun Lang did not climb the slopes, but only stopped at the foot of the mountain, looking for the ground that was not covered by rocks and vegetation, and the ground was red. With thousands of years of experience, he knew that under this red soil that does not grow plants, it is very likely that there is a kind of soil as white as glutinous flour and a delicate texture, called kaolin. This kaolin looks like white flour, formerly known as white flour, because it was widely found and used in Gaoling Village near Jingdezhen during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, so it got its name. The porcelain made from it not only has a smooth and greasy appearance, but also has excellent plasticity and high temperature resistance, and is the best raw material for firing porcelain.

Although most of the kaolin mines are distributed in the south of the Yangtze River, they are also widely contained in Henan and Hebei. Although the pre-Qin and Qin and Han dynasties have begun to fire ceramics, they can only be called "pottery", but not "porcelain", the reason is not only in terms of technology and technology, but also an important reason, that is, this delicate white kaolin is not used as a raw material for firing.

Sun Lang's wishful thinking has already been calculated. If you find a rich kaolin mine in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, use it to fire exquisite porcelain, and then sell it in this Xu Capital City, won't you make a lot of money and make a fortune?

Sun Lang fought hard in order to flirt with his sister, and took his family over the mountains and mountains, crawled around, and found more than ten pieces of red earth with no vegetation on the surface, but the hoe was all haphazard and dug three feet into the ground, but he did not find the slightest shadow of kaolin mine.

But Sun Lang knew that sharpening knives did not require woodcutters, and he was originally a crappy pottery master who was a halfway monk, if he did not use this excellent kaolin, but used ordinary clay at that time, he would definitely not be able to fire fine porcelain that could be famous for a while.

Half a day has passed, and there is still no discovery. This Yao Mountain couldn't work, so Sun Lang led everyone to another Ziyun Mountain, and continued to dig with a hoe. Gradually, Sun Lang could only return empty-handed with his family, and set off again early the next morning to continue looking for kaolin in the mountains.

Although the family members have complaints in their hearts, they are afraid of Gillian's momentum, and secondly, they know that this Sun Xianggong has great powers and has a bit of the ability to turn wood into gold, so he takes us to dig everywhere, maybe what treasure are they looking for? put away their temperament, and as he dug and hoeed, he was busy.

After three days of going out early and returning late, and said that on this day, there was an old man and a young grandfather and grandson who passed under the mountain, and saw Sun Lang and others digging the ground, the old man looked at the novelty, so he took his grandson to stop and watch, looked at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "The old man passes by here every day, and he sees that you guys are digging the mountain here, what are you looking for?" ”

The housekeeper of Caofu had a sore back from digging the ground, and he was out of breath, and when he saw that he was a poor civilian, he scolded angrily: "Stinky old man, what's your business?" ”

When the old man heard this, his beard was cocked, and he snorted, and was about to take his grandson away.

Sun Lang saw from a distance that the old man had pale hair, his face was wrinkled like a tree vine, and he spoke with a Central Plains accent, he should be an experienced local, and he thought to himself that there was a mouth under his nose, instead of doing it here, why not ask the locals to inquire? Hurriedly stepped forward to sing a group and said, "Old man, go slowly!" There is something to ask about the late life. ”

When the old man saw that Sun Lang was polite, he stopped, turned around and asked, "What does the son have to say?" ”

Sun Lang said respectfully: "The subordinates don't know the etiquette, don't blame if you offend!" The old man is well-informed, and he just wants to ask, has the old man ever seen a kind of white flour-like soil? ”

The old man pondered for a moment and asked, "Flour-like soil?" Could it be that Gongzi is talking about 'Tu Maotai'? ”

"Grandma Tu? What is Tu Maotai? Sun Lang asked in amazement.

The old man smiled and explained: "Childe doesn't know, there is a legend here in us, according to legend, a long, long time ago, there was a sudden epidemic of a strange disease in the world, everyone has a stomach acid, vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort, no appetite, and no one in the Lang can be cured within a radius of 100 miles. In desperation, people climbed to the top of the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens for 7749 days to ask for the help of the gods. This move moved the heavens, and the gods in the sky turned into a grandmother who came to help; She took the soil from the summit of the Temple of Heaven and fried the dough in the soil to make a flour-filled soil, which was then taken by the sick and healed after a few days. In order to thank this god, people affectionately call this soil 'Tu Maotai'. ”

After hearing this, Sun Lang thought about it vigorously, and recalled that the kaolin soil is also called Guanyin soil, and when there was a famine in ancient times, there were indeed many hungry people who would devour it to temporarily relieve hunger. Kaolin is rich in its own minerals, and it may be possible to cure stomach acid, gastrointestinal discomfort and other diseases.

"Uncle! Where is that kind of 'soil grandmother', can you tell the younger generation? If you can find it, you should be thanked! Sun Lang was a little impatient.

The old man patted the head of the little grandson in his arms and said: "Childe is the right person, the old man grew up in this mountain since he was a child, and he can walk back and forth in the mountain with his eyes closed. My doll was anorexic and flatulent last year, and the old man did dig a 'soil grandma' for him to eat. Since the son wants it, the old man will take you there, so what's the matter? ”

Sun Lang was overjoyed and couldn't stop thanking him. The old man thought for a while, discerned the direction, and led everyone to the deep mountains. After turning over the mountain, I came to the sunny side and saw a large area of red earth at the foot of the mountain. The old man took a hoe and dug lightly on the ground three or five times, and sure enough, a large piece of off-white kaolin was suddenly mined under the red soil!

Three down five divided by two, the surface layer of red soil layer by layer, the kaolin below actually occupies most of the hillside, is actually a rich kaolin mine! (To be continued.) )
