Because I want to make a waterwheel, I closed the stall early this afternoon and went home.

Ah Xiu took A Ning and Yang Cheng, and took advantage of the fact that there was still some time in the afternoon to go back to her parents' house.

When I went back to my parents' house, I didn't pay much attention to it, because Ah Xiu's maiden home, that is, the residence of Daddy Yang and Aunt Yang, was only a few miles away from Li Chu's side, and Daddy Yang and Aunt Yang had also passed away.

There is no one living in my mother's house now.

Ah Xiu went back to her parents' house this time, mainly to thank some uncles and uncles, and other aunts and aunts in the same village. During the month that Li Chu was in a coma, many uncles and uncles came here to send some food and money to Ah Xiu.

Moreover, after Daddy Yang died, Ah Xiu relied on them for help most of the time.

Now that I have earned money, I have bought a lot of supplements and food in the town, and with the help of Yang Cheng and A Ning, the past is thanked by the family.

These food and supplements don't cost much money, today's ten taels of silver ingots, Ah Xiu gave Li Chu to repay the ten yuan borrowed from Zhang Laocai, and the rest of the money, although it is not much, can also make the family live a life of food and clothing.

And there is also a restaurant that makes money every day, and Ah Xiu is more and more confident about his future life.

……

Li Chu cut the big tree in the open space outside the courtyard.

For the idea of the waterwheel, he first drew a number on the ground with numerical values and calculated the size of the cut surface.

When it was almost dark, the tree was divided and cut into small wooden pieces one by one, which was the prototype of the waterwheel, the form that had not yet been assembled, and then adjusted some details after it was assembled tomorrow.

Ah Xiu came back with some greens and chickens in his hand.

These were all given by the uncles and aunts in the village over there, and Ah Xiu didn't want to take them, but he couldn't pay attention to them.

It was dark, but something not so good happened.

Because, it's raining.

The rain is not heavy, but it is not small, and the duration is very long, and the sound of rain can be heard in the first half of the night.

The next morning, Li Chu went to the town very early.

Sure enough, due to the hard soak of the rain last night, the ground became wet and muddy.

The piece of land where Li Chu set up the restaurant was even worse, as soon as he stepped on it, his shoes were covered with a lot of yellow mud.

The roads in the town are paved with bluestone bricks, and they will not get wet on rainy days. The land selected by Li Primary, because no houses have been built, and it is also an opening in the town leading to the river, so this side is all yellow dirt roads.

It's good that it doesn't rain, but this rain will make it wet and muddy.

If it goes on like this, can't it, on this kind of ground, where will there be diners coming to eat?

The only prayer is that the ground will be a little better near noon.

To the south of the town, there is a folk kiln.

I didn't cross the river, because the width of the Junshui River was very fast, and even though it was Zhengwan Commercial Road, there was no way to build such a wide and long bridge here, so that this side relied on big boats to transport it back and forth between the two banks.

This folk kiln is located in the southeast of the S bend of the river, near the river.

In my memory, this is an old kiln, with a history of more than 100 years, but I don't know what's going on, and in the past ten years, it seems that it is not as prosperous as before.

When Li Chu found this place, the owner of this kiln factory, an old man in his fifties, was squatting outside with a bowl and drinking thin rice porridge, chewing a pickle with his chopsticks and relish.

Li Chu first looked around and saw five large kilns, among them, four kilns looked like no one had entered for a long time, and the remaining kiln was also in a state of fire at this time.

Five kilns, since which the sales have increased, this output should be able to keep up.

The old man who drank porridge at the door just now is the owner of this kiln.

Yesterday afternoon, Li Chu inquired clearly, this old man's name is Zheng Yu, but a relative of Uncle Liu in the town, there are three sons and two daughters in the family, both daughters have been married, and the three sons inherit his skills and work in the kiln.

Li Chu directly told Uncle Zheng about buying porcelain jars, and Uncle Zheng cautiously invited Li Chu into the house to discuss.

Uncle Zheng's eldest son and second son were waiting on the side.

Li Chu took out a piece of paper from his arms, this is the design of the porcelain jar, the paper is made of ordinary paper of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the content of the painting on it is also simple and easy to understand, but a few things that need special attention are marked one by one.

"I will order a thousand porcelain bodies and lids, but you have to give me the samples within two days, and after confirming the samples, within three days, you must deliver at least two hundred to me, and the remaining eight hundred, which can be delivered within ten days. Although there are 1,000 orders this time, it will definitely need to be increased in the future. ”

Two days, three days?

Uncle Zheng didn't speak, and his two sons were shocked, this time was too urgent.

"The porcelain mouth and the lid must ensure that each one is almost the same size, how, can it be done?"

The room fell silent, except for the sound of heartbeats and breathing.

After half a ring, Uncle Zheng put the piece of paper given by Li Chu on the table, and said resolutely: "We took this job!" ”

"Refreshing!"

Next, Li Chu discussed with Uncle Zheng some details of the porcelain jar and the appearance style requirements, as well as the amount and so on.

After everything was negotiated, Li Chu took out three contracts.

The paper is still made of paper from the Northern Song Dynasty, but the text content and writing on it are handed over to the system, and the system is written with a brush and customized.

Li Chu really didn't dare to compliment his brush words.

The contract is in triplicate, Li Chu and Uncle Zheng each hold one copy, and the remaining one is in the middle of the exchange.

Because this thing is more important to Li Chu, some unknown risks and so on must be vaccinated in advance, and some doorways that should be paid attention to are clearly written on this paper contract.

In particular, it is specially marked that this style and texture of porcelain jars cannot be sold to others.

Contract, also known as deed, coupon, deed, etc., began in the Tang Dynasty, some people began to call the contract, and during the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, Li Chu now, this thing has a new name, called 'Qianzhao';

This is just relatively simple compared to the contract of later generations, and there are no various precautions like those of later generations.

Moreover, it must be reported to the government, and after the government has verified that it is correct and fair, it can be signed and have legal effect. Of course, it is also possible to sign privately, as long as it is fair and just, it also has legal effect, but it is difficult to guarantee this.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty can also regret it on Qianzhao.

Within three days, if it is found that the signed thousand photos are flawed, they can repent.

Of course, you have no problem asking for things, but you lie that there is a problem, and you are found out by the government, and you will be whipped forty!

Li Chu's Qianzhao has too much content, and it is very novel, and Zheng Lao can't understand it in many places, so Uncle Zheng took his eldest son to the government with Li Chu to let the government verify it.

Before going to the government to verify, Uncle Zheng first took his two sons to heat the kiln.

Li Chu's request for time is very urgent, but the kiln is not in a hurry, if there is some time to start, you have to fire the kiln first, burn it for two or three days to heat him, so that the porcelain embryo can be put in to burn.

After accompanying Uncle Zheng to burn the kiln, he went to the official mansion, and Uncle Zheng's eldest son also went forward.

There are three kinds of government at this time.

The first is to go to Xiangcheng County and hand it over to the chief secretary of the county.

The second is to hand it over to Lizheng.

And this third type is the Inspection Division!

The largest magistrate of a county is the magistrate in the yamen, and then the county magistrate, and below the county is the main book and the county lieutenant, in which, the main secretary and the county lieutenant are only responsible for the affairs of the county.

On the rural side, it belongs to Li Zheng and the Inspection Division.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no mayor.

Lizheng, you can deal with the mayor's affairs, the premise is that this town must be within the scope of your Lizheng.

The inspection department can also deal with the affairs of the town, and the inspection department is divided into article inspection and military inspection, the document inspection is similar to the main book, and the military inspection is similar to the county lieutenant, and the level is also the same level, but the area in charge is different, and the inspection is responsible for the township.

This inspection department was not set up in Rufen Town, but in Jiangdian Town.

So Uncle Zheng and Li Chu found Li Zheng with this thousand photos.

Li Chu's previous mortgage on the house loan, that is, this Lizheng, is a wealthy landlord in Rufen Town, who usually doesn't care about things, and doesn't know how to write, and leaves everything to the people below.

This head of the household is an old boy in the local area, he has a scholarly atmosphere, and he is the kind of poor and sour, and after taking the Qianzhao handed by Li Chu and reading it, his hands holding the paper book are constantly trembling.

The expression on his face was as if he was facing a great enemy.

"This turned out to be Chiteru?"

"Qianzhao can actually write like this?"

The head of the household's heart was shocked by the waves.

How many people in the countryside can read and write? Not to mention things like Qianzhao, under normal circumstances, almost all people get a Qianzhao model from the government, and then fill in the value and sign it.

Thinking of this kind of self-written thousand photos, it is the first time I have seen it in my lifetime.

In particular, this thousand photos are also written earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, the past, present, and future, all aspects are involved, and they have been agreed in advance, everything that everyone can think of, what they can't think of, is here.

At this time, comparing the government's Qianzhao template with this, it is simply something made up by a three-year-old child.

"Chitosho, but there's a problem?"

Seeing that this old boy didn't give a reply for a long time, Li Chu asked.

Lao Tongsheng sighed, put this Qianzhao on the table, it was worth it to see such a perfect Qianzhao before his lifetime, he immediately wrote his name under Qianzhao's signature, and stamped it with the official seal of Lizheng.

It's stamped, that is, there is no problem.

So Uncle Zheng signed his name one by one on the three contracts and pressed his handprint, and Li Chu did the same.

There are three contracts, one for each of the parties, and one for the lizheng.

After signing the thousand photos, Li Chu paid a part of the deposit in front of the head of the household, according to the agreement inside.

After coming out of Lizheng, Li Chu did not accompany Uncle Zheng back, and parted on the way.

"Uncle Zheng, after the sample comes out, remember to come over and inform Li Chu."
