Xiahou Ying paused, frowned slightly, looked guarded, and said in a deep voice: "What else is the matter with Engong?"

Liu Yuan smiled, he saw Xiahou Ying's expression, and he also knew the worry and vigilance in the latter's heart. However, Liu Yuan said sincerely: "Brother Xiahou, don't worry, if Yuan wants to arrest you, Fang Cai will not lie to the officials."

When Xiahou Ying heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he bowed down and said, "It's the baby who is confused, don't blame Engong."

"No problem." Liu Yuan waved his hand, this Xiahou Ying is also a rare fierce general, and he naturally has some thoughts of wooing when he meets him today. After a pause, he said to Xiahou Ying in a condensed voice: "Brother Xiahou, it may be difficult to have a hiding place in this Pei County now, why don't you go with me."

"How dare you cause trouble to Eun Gong." Xiahou Ying said with some hesitation, he had been on the run in Pei County for several days, and he was very tired.

"Huh!" Liu Yuan smiled faintly again, "Brother Xiahou and I are also familiar at first sight, let's go, don't behave to the man." ”

"This?" When Xiahou Ying heard this, her heart sank, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I, Xiahou Ying, will listen to Engong's arrangement."

"Brother Xiahou is old, just call me Brother Yuan." Liu Yuan was overjoyed and smiled.

Xiahou Ying also laughed, and at this time he also let go of his heart and said: "Brother Yuan is refreshing, and it is also a blessing for the baby to meet Brother Yuan." It can be seen that Xiahou Ying is also a hearty person.

The two got on the ox cart and chatted happily and rushed to the Surabaya Pavilion, the reason why Liu Yuan dared to do this was also because he had a high prestige in the pavilion, and taking Xiahou Ying back would naturally not arouse the suspicion of the people. When he arrived at the Surabaya Pavilion, the farmers on the road also respectfully saluted Liu Yuan, and Xiahou Ying on the ox cart saw this, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart, after all, he had also done things in the county government and had seen a lot, and there were very few pavilion chiefs who could have such prestige like now.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Liu Yuan ordered people to find Da Niu, Liu Fang and Zhou Bo. After he introduced everyone to each other, Xiahou Ying quickly integrated in, and was chatting with Da Niu at the moment. "If Brother Xiahou has anything to do in the future, even if he comes to find my big cow, no one dares to bully us in Surabaya Pavilion." Da Niu said with a rough laugh.

"Brother Xiahou, don't listen to the nonsense of the big cow. Thanks to Brother Yuan's support from the people, we can do things in the pavilion. Liu Fang glared at Da Niu, and then spoke to Xiahou Ying in a deep voice.

Xiahou Ying bowed slightly, although Liu Fang's words were vague, he could still understand it, this was to tell him not to discredit Liu Yuan and lose face. He immediately patted Liu Fang's shoulder and said solemnly: "Don't worry, how can the baby be a person who doesn't know what to do?"

"Brother Xiahou is also his own brother, so you can all relax." Liu Yuan waved his hand and smiled, and said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Liu Yuan trusted him so much, Xiahou Ying was moved in his heart, and he said loudly: "Brother Yuan has orders in the future, and the baby will do it carefully."

When Liu Yuan heard this, he couldn't hide his joy, and Zhou Bo on the side also said: "Brother Yuan, Brother Xiahou might as well live in Bo's place." Now there is only Bo and the old lady, and there is still room left at home. ”

"Well, that's fine!" Liu Yuan nodded in response, and he asked again, "What does Brother Xiahou think?"

"Then it will disturb Brother Zhou." Xiahou Ying naturally had no objections.

After chatting for a while, they went to the kiln factory together, and the kiln factory is very lively now. Liu Yuan recruited more than 30 strong men in the pavilion, and he clearly divided these people, some were responsible for digging clay, some went into the mountains to cut firewood, and some assisted Wang Lao in burning the kiln. At the same time, Liu Yuan found more than a dozen women, and Lu Pheasant taught the production process of pottery embryos. When they entered the kiln, they had not yet begun to make pottery, but they were already busy, and a large amount of clay and sun-dried firewood were piled up in the kiln shed, and the women were also carefully learning the craft.

Seeing Liu Yuan, Lu Pheasant smiled sweetly, she was wearing coarse linen clothes today, but she couldn't hide her beautiful figure, Lu Pheasant took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat on Liu Yuan's forehead, and said, "Husband is back!"

Liu Yuan smiled, and he informed the latter of the news of Lu Ze's return home. When Lu Pheasant heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good for my brother to return home, and it is also worrying my father and mother when I am outside."

"How are the potters learning?" Liu Yuan looked at the woman who was fiddling with the wooden inverted mold again, and asked.

Lu Pheasant stroked his hair, and said exquisitely: "This mud and mud are simple, but this mold still needs a few more days of proficiency."

Hearing this, Liu Yuan also smiled, he naturally knew that the training was in a hurry, so he said: "It doesn't hurt to wait a few more days." What about Elder Wang? ”

"His old man is going to burn the kiln again, and this new kiln still needs to be fired a few times to warm the kiln." Lu Pheasant also spread his hands helplessly, "Wang Lao attaches more importance to this pottery kiln than Ejiao." ”

"Huh." Liu Yuan also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

With Xiahou Ying and a few people to the kiln, Wang Lao was checking the fire with his ancient eyes, and when he saw Liu Yuan, his old face showed a rare smile. Liu Yuan arched his hand and said, "Elder Wang, what's wrong?" ”

"This kiln will be warmed twice more and it will be almost fine, and Pavilion Chief Liu will rest assured." Wang Lao said nonsense.

"That'll be fine." Liu Yuan also nodded, and then he pointed at Xiahou Ying and said, "Elder Wang, this is Brother Xiahou, in the future, let him follow you." ”

Xiahou Ying immediately bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "Xiahou Ying pays a visit to Elder Wang. ”

"Since it's Pavilion Chief Liu's friend, let's stay here." Wang Lao also understands what Liu Yuan means by "laying hands", he doesn't care, these skills must be passed on after all.

And the reason why Liu Yuan arranged for Xiahou Ying to be here was also to cover up Xiahou Ying as a potter. "Then it will be troublesome for the old king." Liu Yuan also bowed down, after all, this teaching skills is a big deal.

In the next few days, under the careful teaching of Lu Pheasant, the women gradually made the pottery embryo look like it. Xiahou Ying also followed Wang Lao every day to learn the skills of kiln firing, while Liu Fang led people to continue digging clay and cutting firewood.

On June 17, with few clouds, no wind, and hot weather, the kiln factory finally started operating on this day. The strong men are pushing the flat cart to transport the clay to the pottery house, and the women are skillful in digging the mud, and the mud, pouring the mold, removing the roughness, and the clay pots and bowls are dried in embryos, and then carefully moved into the kiln by the strong men.

The storage space of the kiln body in the town kiln is very large, and there are more than 300 pieces of this first batch firing, which only occupies less than half of the area. After closing the door of the kiln, Wang Lao was also condensed, and he instructed Xiahou Ying beside him: "Light the fire." ”

Xiahou Ying immediately lit a piece of firewood and put it into the fire, and then the strong men continued to put firewood one after another, and the first batch of pottery embryos was officially fired.
