It is almost a day's journey from Tianmen County to Jingzhou City. It was already afternoon, and Qin Xiaoluan decided to simply leave for Jingzhou City with Yang Buxian early the next morning, so as not to spend the night on the road.

In the afternoon, I saw Aunt Huang coming over with a few bags, followed by an old man with inconvenient legs.

Qin Xiaoluan hurriedly stepped forward to help her pick up the package: "Auntie, why are you here?" ”

Aunt Huang explained.

In the past few days, the formation of the logistics department has been completed according to the last consultation, and the kitchens of the garment factory, brick kiln and quarry in Luofeng Town have been arranged.

Last year, because there were few people in the county, there was no kitchen, and everyone bought and ate outside.

After the start of construction here this year, most of the brothers in the construction team will have to come here to do things in the past two days, and people will naturally need to cook on the construction site here.

Aunt Huang thought about it for a while and decided to come here herself. On the one hand, it is because things have been done smoothly in Luofeng Town, and on the other hand, Huang Tiezhu and Shi have come here, so she doesn't have to take into account the people at home like everyone else.

As for the old man who came with her, everyone called him Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen is a native of Luofeng Town, but he went out to wander when he was very young, and it was not until this Chinese New Year that he returned to his hometown with a lame leg.

When I came back, I found that I didn't have any relatives at home.

Aunt Huang saw that he was pitiful, so she took him in, and he had nothing to do in the kitchen, which was a little dependent on life.

Speaking of this, Huang Tiezhu and Su Xiao also came over: "Old woman, are you here?" ”

"Hey, let me ask you," Aunt Huang shouted, "Is the stove ready?" ”

"Don't worry, it was done a few days ago." Huang Tiezhu straightened his chest.

"Where's the pot? What about spatulas and bowls? Aunt Huang continued to ask.

"It's all done." Huang Tiezhu said proudly.

"Okay, you go buy some food now, I'll clean up the kitchen and start making it now." Aunt Huang said.

"Don't be in such a hurry, why don't you take a break today and do it tomorrow." Qin Xiaoluan persuaded.

"The things out there aren't necessarily as delicious as the ones I make." Aunt Huang said.

Su Xiao on the side interjected: "Hey, there's nothing wrong with that." To say, I still think our sister-in-law's cooking is delicious. ”

Qin Xiaoluan said unhappily: "Uncle Xiao, don't you look at how hard it is for Aunt Huang and them to rush so far......

"What kind of hardship? The things outside are so expensive, you can save a little. Aunt Huang said.

Qin Xiaoluan was still waiting to be persuaded, and Huang Tiezhu said: "Class master, don't talk about it." Let me tell you, now the people in our Qin family class are all able to save. If you want that, your brothers won't follow you. ”

It turned out that since Qin Xiaoluan's accounts were completely public, all employees were divided according to a certain percentage. In other words, everyone has a part of the public property of the Qin family class, and everyone in the Qin family class is the owner.

So there is a situation: as long as it can be saved for the public, everyone will try to save. If anyone takes advantage of the public or wastes public property, it will cause public outrage, and they will not be able to stay in the Qin family class at all.

After learning about this situation, Qin Xiaoluan couldn't say anything more.

"Well, I'm going to buy groceries." Huang Tiezhu said.

"Go, go, what are you buying? Just your stupid tongue, will you bargain? I don't even know if I've been slaughtered. Su Xiao said: "I'd better go." ”

Huang Tiezhu scratched the back of his head and smiled: "What you said is also right, okay, okay, then you can go." ”

While talking, Aunt Huang had already gone into the kitchen with Uncle Chen to clean up her things.

Qin Xiaoluan stood at the door, and by the way, explained to Huang Tiezhu some precautions after she left.

Before we could talk a few words, I heard a rattling sound, as if something had broken in the kitchen.

Because of the loud noise, the two hurriedly ran in to see what was going on.

I saw Aunt Huang looking at a large pile of broken dishes on the ground with great distress, her chest was constantly rising and falling in anger, and she pointed at Uncle Chen: "You, you, you ......"

It turned out that when Uncle Chen put the dishes and chopsticks on the shelf, he didn't know how to do it, the whole shelf fell down, and all the dishes and chopsticks on it were broken.

"Are you alright?" Qin Xiaoluan hurriedly asked and stepped forward to investigate.

Chen Bo shook his head indifferently.

Aunt Huang was so angry that she stomped her feet: "You say, what do you say about this?" ”

Uncle Chen raised his head and said slowly, "Then what do you say?" ”

Aunt Huang bit her lower lip angrily and said, "Two roads." First, if you are gone now, these dishes will be deducted from my wages, and who will call me blind and bring you here? Second, these losses will be deducted from your wages at that time. ”

Qin Xiaoluan hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Auntie, forget it, Uncle Chen didn't mean it. ”

"No," Uncle Chen said leisurely, "I just did it on purpose." ”

Aunt Huang was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Uncle Chen limped up to Qin Xiaoluan and said seriously, "Class Master Qin, these bowls were indeed broken by me on purpose. ”

Qin Xiaoluan and Huang Tiezhu were also stunned. Is this Uncle Chen old and confused? But looking at the way he looks, he is very conscious. What the hell is going on?

Chen Boshi gave a salute and continued: "Class master, please give me two people. A month later, I will pay a hundredfold and a thousand times for these broken bowls. ”

Qin Xiaoluan didn't know what to say for a while.

Uncle Chen said this.

He left home at a young age and has been working in an official kiln for decades. That official kiln is very famous, and the ones used in the palace are all produced in that kiln.

Because of his willingness to endure hardships and study, he mastered the technique of firing porcelain after a long time, and later became the deputy kiln director.

Later, a new kiln master came to the kiln. This guy is not a good thing, he just changes his mind every day to deduct the wages of the workers.

Uncle Chen really couldn't see it, so he said a few words. It was these few words that brought disaster to himself.

The kiln chief not only did not listen, but also intensified the exploitation of the workers. Later, the workers couldn't take it anymore and simply went on strike.

The kiln chief thought of a vicious way to buy the government to sue Uncle Chen. The reason was that Chen Bo instigated the workers' strike.

The government was anxious when he heard it, the local official kiln was to supply porcelain to the emperor, and if he went on a business trip, he didn't want this black gauze hat.

So he arrested Uncle Chen and a few people who made the most trouble.

The human heart is one of the hardest things to guess. At the beginning, they were full of righteous indignation, but after seeing Uncle Chen and them being arrested, they all changed their minds.

As a result, Uncle Chen broke a leg.

After being released, Uncle Chen didn't say much. I thought that although I was lame, I could get by with this skill.

But he was wrong. None of the nearby caves would accept him.

In desperation, I had to go farther away.

Finally, a kiln owner was willing to accept him. Uncle Chen was very grateful, so he worked on the kiln wholeheartedly.

In less than a year, the kiln owner felt that he had learned the craft, and immediately drove Chen Bo out mercilessly.

Uncle Chen has become a wanderer again. It wasn't until the end of the year that he finally returned to his hometown.

Decades have passed, and my hometown has long been different. Chen Bo originally had only one elder brother, and when he returned to his hometown, he learned that his brother had died a long time ago, and his nephew's conditions were not good. Besides, an uncle who has been out for decades without any news suddenly returns home to let you retire, and no one is happy to change it.

After a bumpy life, Uncle Chen decided that he would never trust anyone again.

Just as he was about to commit suicide by diving, he heard two employees of the Qin family class walking past him, happily chatting about the current good days.

Ants still steal life, let alone people?

Uncle Chen decided to find out if it was really as they said, as long as you work hard, you will have a good life. That's it, and in the end, he was taken in by Aunt Huang.

Although he hadn't been in the Qin family's class for a long time, he soon discovered that it was different. Not only is it different from the cave where he used to do things, but he has never seen anything like this in so many years.

Chen Bo felt that his heart was warm, and like everyone else, he felt that the Qin family class was a family, and everyone should send out their own heat. Since you know how to burn porcelain, why don't you take it out and let the people of the Qin family class use good porcelain instead of going outside to buy it?

So the next day, he went to find Duan Fei, the person in charge of the brick kiln. He asked for a cave to be given, and he helped Qin Jiaban burn the best porcelain.

However, a basin of cold water poured down - Duan Fei rejected him.

Speaking of this, Aunt Huang was also a little fascinated by this, and immediately asked, "Why did Duan Fei reject you?" ”

Uncle Chen hesitated for a while before replying: "Actually, I don't blame the Duan Chang Chief. He said, since you are also a kiln burner, you should know how much it costs to open a kiln. What if it doesn't burn? Besides, we're very nervous about burning bricks in the cave now. The most important thing is that we are all bitter haha, even if you burn the bowl used by the emperor, it will be of no use to us. ”

Huang Tiezhu interjected: "I'm about to say this too." Uncle Chen, if you want to say that we are all craftsmen, I can understand this mood. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that we really don't need this thing. ”

To be honest, Uncle Chen was also rejected by Duan Fei, so he took this way to attract Qin Xiaoluan's attention this time. Seeing that they didn't believe it, he immediately became anxious.

"Why don't you need it?" Uncle Chen shouted unconvinced: "We can sell it!" The things I burned were much better than the garbage underground. It's not that I blow it, but what I burn out can be sold for at least three times the price. ”

"Control the ......" Huang Tiezhu made such a sound at the same time.

Are you kidding? There has to be a limit to bragging, right, three times the price? Only a fool will buy it! Let's buy a bowl, which is durable and cheap.

They didn't know that in later generations, a porcelain fired by Uncle Chen's own hands would sell for enough price to buy the entire Luofeng Town. Of course, they can't possibly know.

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Uncle Chen suddenly became anxious, and immediately knelt down on one knee: "Class master, please give me a chance." Just once! If I can't burn something good, I won't have the face to see you again. ”

Huang Tiezhu stepped forward and persuaded: "Uncle Chen, why don't you understand? It's what Duan Fei said, let's not talk about whether it can be burned out, even if it's really as good as you say, it's useless to us. ”

Qin Xiaoluan raised his hand to stop Huang Tiezhu's words, helped Uncle Chen with both hands, and asked, "Uncle Chen, let me ask you a question." Can porcelain be fired into bowls, vases, and the like, but can it be fired into flat whole pieces? ”

Chen Bo was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "Of course." Aliens can be burned, and they can definitely be burned flat. ”

Qin Xiaoluan shook his head: "No, I mean burnt tiles." ”

Uncle Chen's brows furrowed: "Do you want to burn to the thickness of bricks?" That's hard, if it's so thick, it's hard to burn through the heart. ”

"No, no, no," Qin Xiaoluan said, "It doesn't need to be so thick, it's about the same thickness as ordinary porcelain." It's just that it has to be so big. ”

As he spoke, he used his hand to compare the size of a tile that was common in later generations at 800X800.

Uncle Chen's brows furrowed even tighter: "This is possible, but this technique is not easy, and it is estimated that you will have to try many times." As far as I know, no one on the market burns this kind of thing right now. With such a large porcelain, it is easy to break. Besides, it's useless. ”

Hearing Uncle Chen say "it's possible", Qin Xiaoluan immediately became excited: "That's fine, as long as it can be burned." Also, if that specification can't be burned, it's okay to be so big. ”

After speaking, he used both hands to draw a 600X600 tile size.

Chen Bo nodded: "If this is the case, I am sure that the three kilns will produce the finished product." It's just estimated that a lot of raw materials will be wasted. ”

QIN XIAOLUAN USED HIS HAND TO DRAW OUT THE 300X300 SIZE TILES AND ASKED, "WHAT IF IT'S THIS SPECIFICATION?" ”

Uncle Chen showed a smile on his face: "A kiln produces a finished product." ”

Qin Xiaoluan was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Great! Uncle Chen, if you can really do this, you have made a great contribution to the Qin family's class. In this way, I will write a letter to Duan Fei and ask him to give you at least one kiln, and the personnel can be deployed as much as possible. If you still need anything, you don't hesitate to mention it. ”

Uncle Chen was also overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, if you can't make it, I'll drill this old bone into the kiln and burn it with the bricks." ”

"What are you talking about?" Qin Xiaoluan said: "If you want to say that, forget about this matter, I won't write it." I don't want to make an accident for you. ”

Uncle Chen burst into tears, and only after a while did he say, "Class master, it's useless to burn this thing." ”

Qin Xiaoluan narrowed his eyes: "It's very useful." By the way, if you can, try to improve the toughness of the tiles. Also, it would be best if the surface was non-slip. Of course, these can be a later step. Now let's find a way to develop the first generation as soon as possible. ”

Uncle Chen bit his lower lip and nodded heavily.

Qin Xiaoluan didn't waste any more time, and immediately found a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Duan Fei.

Uncle Chen carefully put the letter into his arms, and he couldn't wait even a minute before leaving.

"Wait," Qin Xiaoluan stopped him, took out a broken silver from his arms and handed it to Huang Tiezhu: "Uncle, Uncle Chen's legs and feet are not good. You go and get a carriage for him to take him back. ”

Chen Boqiang held back his tears, and secretly made up his mind in his heart: no matter what, she must make what she needs according to the requirements of the Qin class master!
