Xu Lao Wu has learned some of each subject, especially gold, silver, copper and ironware, he has a foundation, and has been praised by this master.

Xu Jiaojiao handed the document to Xu Zhang's to read, "Mother, it's true, my fifth brother has graduated, and the masters above also said that if the fifth brother can't find a good job in the countryside, he can go back to the imperial workshop to become a craftsman, and the salary is also a lot." ”

Xu Zhang's understood where he could understand it, swept it with his eyes, and said with a smile, "That's okay, I didn't sneak back, I'm relieved." ”

Xu Lao Wu said, "I want to come back to help my old sister make wine utensils and help the family, I am steady." ”

In fact, the master in the Imperial Workshop has kept him repeatedly, and he is bent on returning home.

Family is his roots, his relatives and lovers are all in the countryside, and he has no sense of belonging at all when he stays alone in the provincial capital.

In the evening, the whole family had dinner together to catch the wind for Xu Lao Wu.

Eating delicious food, Xu Lao Wu brought gifts to his family.

This time, I also brought a pair of silver earrings to Xu Zhang's family, a silver hairpin to Xu Jiaojiao, a suitable fabric for several sisters-in-law, and several pastries and snacks for the children at home.

Xu Zhang's eyes looked at Xu Lao Wu.

Lao Wu explained, "In our imperial workshop, apprentices also have wages to get, I have never wanted to want, but the masters said that it was the wages issued by the workshop, not their own pockets, I said filial piety to the masters, the masters don't want the atmosphere, just like this for more than half a year, there are more than ten taels, the masters don't want me, I can only take it, the gifts I bought for my parents' family before are so shabby, this time with silver, I naturally bought better." ”

The young man blushed after speaking, and then took out a bag of silver coins from his waist.

"Mother, there are still six or seven taels left here, I will take them out to the public middle school, our family will build a new house, each household has raised silver, put me here, I also want to raise some, it is my meaning." If I don't have it, I'll forget it, and if I have it, then I can't do without my part. ”

Xu Zhang put it away unceremoniously.

"Then you'll have a share."

What kind of private money does the young man who has not married want to leave, and there is spare money to put in her old lady's hand, isn't it fragrant?

and save the future for them to be married, and the money is spent on the edge of the sword, and it cannot be wasted.

The silver in the father-in-law of the family became more and more abundant, and the more than thirty taels of silver that sold the pigs, and the six or seven taels added up to almost forty taels.

Give Erlang a kiss and spend ten taels.

The old five flowers are ten taels......

There are still some left.

Finally, Xu Youde asked the fifth child about his future plans.

Xu Lao Wu looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a blank eye, "I listen to my old sister's arrangement, and I will do whatever my sister arranges me to do." ”

He went out to study art because Xu Jiaojiao asked him to go, and now that he has returned from his studies, he will listen to Xu Jiaojiao's arrangement.

Xu Jiaojiao sighed, "Our winery is almost a year, and the wine is about to come out of the fragrance, we have to consider the problem of sales, what is urgently needed is the packaging of high-end wine, although some are customized in the imperial workshop in the provincial capital, but these are definitely far from enough, since the fifth brother has learned, then open a small kiln in the village, the fifth brother is responsible, what wine utensils are needed in the winery, what wine utensils are fired by the fifth brother, what do you think?" ”

Xu Lao Wu was full of confidence, "Okay!" Leave it to me, old girl, don't worry. ”

Xu Youde thought about it for a while and asked, "Jiaojiao, how much does it cost to build a kiln?" ”

Xu Jiaojiao asked Xu Lao Wu, she didn't know very well, the interlacing was like a mountain.

Xu Lao Wu said, "Generally simple does not cost much, even if it is high-end, it does not use much silver, our winery only needs specific small wine utensils, no need to build a large kiln, no need to hire labor, I will build, I will build, the masters have taught me, I just have a lot of strength." ”

Digging kilns and building workshops mainly relies on labor, and the material cost is not much, unlike building a house.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to the fifth brother. We all help the fifth brother. ”

Xu Zhang also said, "Yes, there are many people in the family, you say how to build, let's go and help you build ......"

As long as it doesn't cost too much silver.

It's been almost a year now, and although the old lady said that the wine is about to come out, whether this business is good or bad, her heart is still dark.

It is economical to be able to save a little.

Loquat paste has no cost input, and seasonal things can earn a hundred taels.

If the winery invests so much silver, so much artificial, and doesn't make money, it will really vomit blood.

The closer Xu Zhang's day is now, the more worried she is that she can't sleep.

On the other hand, Xu Jiaojiao looks calm every day, what should she do, and she is still in the mood to study mosquito repellent juice at home.

This kind of heart and calmness, Xu Zhang's she can't learn.

In the past, the old girl's personality was the same as hers, everything was in a hurry, but now she is more and more calm and calm.

Not only is she calm and peaceful, but when she stays with her, she also seems to feel peaceful and tranquil from her, and she can also become soothed.

It's so magical.

Xu Zhang didn't know what kind of power it was!

This is the strength of the backbone of the family, as long as she is there, she will feel at ease, she is the pillar of the family, and the family will not fall or fall apart.

……

In this era, the wine utensils were mainly ceramics, and kilns were needed to burn ceramics, which occupied a large area, Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Lao Wu discussed and decided to dig a cave in Laoye Mountain.

The two found a hill, which was not far from Lao Xu's house, which was convenient for future transportation.

After deciding on the location, he sent people to report to Lizheng, and at the same time sent people to the city to purchase a special clay brick to use as the wall of the cave. Because according to Xu Laowu's introduction, the temperature of ceramic firing needs to reach at least 1200 degrees, and ordinary bricks cannot withstand this high temperature.

Then, Lao Xu's family specially invited a few strong laborers to take turns digging the cave, and when the bricks arrived, they could continue to build the wall to save time.

The whole project is actually not complicated, mainly because of the large amount of labor. Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao San looked like they had recovered, but it was best not to do heavy physical work, plus the Xu family still had a lot of gourds that needed to be cleaned up, and there were not enough people, so they could only invite people.

There was a lot of power, and after three days, the kiln was basically built, and there was only some finishing work left, and the road was leveled a little, because such things as ceramics could not withstand big bumps.

The construction process was hard, but everyone looked at the tall kiln, and their faces were full of a sense of accomplishment.
