Chapter 36: Lu Ze
With the sound falling, Liu Fang and Zhou Bo slowly opened the kiln door, Liu Yuan and others were also waiting outside the kiln door, and after a while, Liu Fang and Zhou Bo walked out with several clay pots.
"How?" Everyone asked with eager eyes.
"Pavilion Chief, look!" Zhou Bo raised the clay pot in his hand and said excitedly: "It's done!" β
Liu Yuan immediately looked at it, and saw that the clay pot in Zhou Bo's hand was maroon red and exquisite. Seeing this, Liu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, this simple town kiln is really feasible. He took the clay pot from Zhou Bo's hand, the surface of the pot was slightly rough, he didn't understand pottery, so he asked Wang Lao on his side respectfully: "Wang Lao, how do you see this clay pot firing?" β
"Huh?" Wang Lao also took the clay pot, and when he started to sink, he bowed his head slightly, and let out a sigh of surprise. Then he weighed it carefully, and suddenly had a guess in his heart, and he said to Lu Pheasant: "Lu girl, come and see." β
When Lu Pheasant heard this, she also stretched out her hand to weigh it, and she was surprised, "This clay pot ......"
"Hmm!" Wang Lao nodded, he was an expert, as soon as he took the clay pot, he knew what was special, then he looked at Liu Yuan again, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect the pottery refined in this pottery kiln to be so heavy." β
"Heavy?" Liu Yuan frowned slightly.
Seeing that Liu Yuan was puzzled, Lu Pheasant pursed his lips and smiled, and explained softly: "Husband, this pottery is heavy and heavy, so it naturally has to be strong and durable. In the past, the pottery fired by this dragon kiln occasionally appeared one or two pieces of such heavy pottery. I just don't know if this pottery is also accidental. Lu Pheasant pointed to the maroon pottery in Liu Yuan's hand again.
Without waiting for Liu Yuan to speak, Wang Lao waved his hand and shook his head and said, "It's not accidental." "Wang Lao has been burning the kiln here for the past two days, and he naturally knows it very well in his heart. Liu Yuan's improved kiln is very insulated, and the temperature of the kiln body is also higher than that of the dragon kiln, and the overall sealing is excellent, so the conditions can naturally fire heavy pottery, which Long Yao does not have.
Wang Lao has rich experience, he naturally sees it thoroughly, at this time he laughed self-deprecatingly, and said: "It seems that Xiao Lao'er is really old, and he stubbornly questioned Pavilion Chief Liu before. After saying that, he immediately bowed to Liu Yuan and said apologetically: "Pavilion Chief Liu, please accept the little old man's worship." β
Liu Yuan hurriedly helped Elder Wang, and said with a shocked face: "Elder Wang, what are you doing?" β
"Pavilion Chief Liu, do you know how much influence this improved pottery kiln has?" Wang Lao was a little excited, his eyes flickered, and he said eagerly: "My Great Qin's entire pottery making process will be improved again. β
Liu Yuan naturally knew, he nodded, and replied: "Well, thanks to you, otherwise this pottery kiln would not have been built." β
Hearing this, Wang Lao's face turned red, if it weren't for Lu Pheasant's coquettish persuasion, he would have missed such an opportunity, he smiled awkwardly, and said, "Pavilion Chief Liu, don't make fun of Xiao Lao'er anymore." He already admired Liu Yuan, and he spoke a lot more respectfully.
The results of the first kiln were very successful, and LΓΌ Pheasant made a total of seven pottery embryos, five of which were heavy and only two were cracked and broken. This gave Liu Yuan confidence in his heart, and in this way, his pottery kiln could also be fired in batches. However, if you want to produce pottery, Liu Yuan still has to have a lot of preparations.
Nowadays, there is only one pottery kiln in Hedongli, and the matching pottery shed and pottery house also need to be built, and the pottery shed is connected with the kiln head of the town kiln, which is used to store firewood and successfully fired pottery. Needless to say, the pottery house is the place where the pottery embryo is made. The construction of pottery sheds and pottery houses is much simpler, and the materials are ready-made, which only requires some manpower.
When the people of Surabaya Pavilion heard that the kiln was so successful for the first time, every household was also happy, and many people put down their farm work in the fields and came to watch. When they saw these maroon pottery, they were also curious to touch it, wanting to see what was special about the pottery fired in this strange-shaped pottery kiln.
And after Liu Yuan decided to build pottery sheds and pottery houses, these people also volunteered to help. The trees cut down by Liu Fang and others when they were cleaning the clay were used to build the pottery shed at this moment, and the mood of the people was very high, and it only took two days to build it. The pottery houses were a little slower, and more than 20 thatched houses were lined up one after another, and it took another half a month. In the end, Liu Yuan asked people to surround a bamboo fence around the periphery, and the entire kiln factory began to take shape.
On the night of the completion of the kiln factory, Liu Yuan held a bonfire night party in the pavilion to celebrate, and also to thank the people in the pavilion for their support. Liu Yuan bought rice wine, hunted wild boars, and the people sang and danced, and the whole night party was lively. Liu Yuan poured a glass of rice wine for Wang Lao, he raised the bowl and said, "Wang Lao, Yuan has a reluctant request. β
"Pavilion Chief Liu, please speak." Wang Lao drank it all and said with a smile.
"Yuan wants you to stay in the pavilion, and you need to assist Yuan in the production of this pottery kiln." Liu Yuan arched his hand and said pleadingly. In the future, the mass production of pottery will naturally require experienced people to be in charge of the overall situation, and it is impossible for Liu Yuan to let Lu Pheasant show his head like this, this Wang Lao is the only person.
"Huh." Wang Lao smiled deeply, how could he not know Liu Yuan's plans? Wang Lao stretched his waist, sighed, and said, "It seems that Xiao Lao'er's body is bones, and he will have to burn the kiln for a few more years." β
Hearing this, Liu Yuan was also pleased, he immediately saluted again, and thanked him: "Thank you Elder Wang." Wang Lao was willing to stay, which also made him feel a lot more at ease.
Liu Yuan also played with the people at the bonfire night party, and in the jokes of the people, he sang a mountain song with Lu Pheasant, which pushed the atmosphere of this night party to the top. On this night, the moon and stars flashed by. The next day, Liu Yuan drove the ox cart, loaded the fired pottery kiln, and hurried to the Lu Mansion. After all, the pottery kiln was funded by the Lu Mansion, and he also needed to let Lu Taigong know the effect of this improvement.
As soon as he entered the Lu Mansion, Liu Yuan heard the angry reprimand of Mrs. Lu in the hall, he frowned, so he walked in. When Mrs. Lu saw Liu Yuan coming, the anger on his face was suppressed, and he reluctantly smiled and said, "The virtuous son-in-law is here." β
After Liu Yuan bowed his hand, he found that there was a man in the hall, about in his early thirties, with a resolute face and quite a demeanor. He was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "The son-in-law has seen his father-in-law. β
Lu Taigong bowed his head, then glared at the man in the hall, and said: "You unfilial son, this is the virtue and talent of Pei County, your sister's husband, and the pavilion chief of Surabaya Pavilion." β
"It turned out to be a virtuous brother." The man smiled slightly and arched his hand.
"Virtuous son-in-law, this is my unfilial son who repents of marriage, Pheasant's brother, Lu Ze." Mrs. Lu said with a sigh, as if he was still sulking.
Lu Ze? Liu Yuan was surprised in his heart, it turned out that this man was Lu Ze!
