Chapter 10: Reparation
Tianjia kiln is a few miles away from Tianjiazhuang.
Tian Youwei protected Shao Jing in her arms, and proudly introduced to him with the bumpy footsteps of the little donkey: "Our kiln is the best among the eight kilns selected for tribute porcelain!" The surrounding porcelain clay is of the best quality and thickest, and the water quality is the clearest!
I saw that there was no mountain forest in the distance, it was all pine, and it was best to fire porcelain! Someone had paid a high price to buy a kiln before, and he said it many times, but Daddy was not willing to sell it! ”
Tianjia kiln is close to Yuanbao Mountain, next to the Silver Lake, surrounded by dense mountains and forests, rich porcelain clay ore layer, and there are canal connections, which can lead to Mingzhou Port along the waterway, which is a rare feng shui treasure land.
From the ancestors of the Tian family to build the dragon kiln, it has been passed down for several generations, and the porcelain produced is the best in the entire Silver Lake.
It is the lifeblood of the Tian family, even if Tian's father was sick and dying, and the creditor pursued him and was desperate, he was not willing to use it to pay off the debt.
Tian Youwei and Shao Jing did everything possible to save the kiln by gritting their teeth, and they really suffered a lot in the middle.
Thinking of the years when she and Shao Jing shared weal and worn, Tian Youwei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You will protect our family's kiln in the future." ”
"Sister don't worry." Shao Jing nodded very seriously, his clear eyes looked ahead, and his expression was very happy.
Tianjia kiln is busy, and the most striking thing is the two kilns that are more than ten zhang long and side by side along the hillside.
Then there are the long rows of bamboo and wood sheds on both sides, in which many craftsmen are busy in an orderly manner, and the porcelain blanks of different shapes are neatly arranged on the shelves, waiting for the craftsmen to glaze.
Two kiln supervisors in green uniforms wandered around from time to time to inspect the overseers, and the whole kiln looked very prosperous.
Tian Youwei and her entourage quickly attracted attention, and many members of the Tian family who were working in the kiln came over and said, "Why is Awei here?" ”
Someone looked at Shao Jing curiously: "This is the little monk who just came yesterday, right?" What's your name? ”
"It's called Shao Jing." Tian Youwei introduced those people to Shao Jing: "This is the third uncle, this is the fifth cousin......"
Everyone gathered around to watch the excitement, exchanging glances with each other from time to time, mysterious and meaningful.
Tian Youwei saw it and was very unhappy, so she didn't want to waste time with these people, so she pulled Shao Jing inside to find Tian's father.
Father Tian sat in the shed and watched the master glaze.
Glazing is one of the key processes to make good porcelain, porcelain beauty and porcelain glaze is closely related, in addition to having a good glaze water, the process is also very particular.
The craftsmen carefully hold the outer bottom of the porcelain blank, invert the porcelain blank and dip it into the glaze water, and shake it slowly so that the porcelain blank can eat through the glaze water.
Father Tian saw that he was overseeing the work, but his eyes were actually wandering, and his expression was even more depressed.
"Daddy!" Tian Youwei ran over and hugged Tian's father's arm and handed over the decanting soup: "My mother asked me to send the decanting soup, and it just so happened that Ah Jing had never seen the burning of tribute porcelain, so I brought him here." ”
Father Tian saw that it was her, and immediately smiled gloomily: "I drank too much wine last night, I had a headache, and Ah Wei worked hard." ”
Tian Youwei said crisply: "I'm not hard, it's Daddy and Mother who work hard!" ”
"Look at this clever little look!" Father Tian patted the top of her hair and asked Shao Jing gently, "Ah Jing is still used to it?" ”
Shao Jing bowed before saying, "Back to my uncle's words, everyone is very good, and my little nephew is very used to it." ”
Tian's father also patted the top of his hair gently: "Good boy, you don't have to be so angry, otherwise wouldn't you be tired and panicked?" ”
"Tsk, this kid is so gentle! It's different. ”
Master Xie strode in, skillfully took the water bottle and poured himself a full cup of decanting soup, and then said loudly: "It's so sour!" What a sobering wine! ”
I really don't think of myself as an outsider, her father hasn't drunk it yet, and he himself has a stomach first.
Tian Youwei felt quite uncomfortable, and she didn't do it on her face, and smiled sweetly: "What is my uncle here for today?" ”
Master Xie said: "I'll send the sagger kiln furniture over, and by the way, I will tie up Xie San'er, a confused bastard, to make amends!" What about Ah Bing? I said I was going to give him an account. ”
Tian Youwei said in her heart that he didn't pretend on purpose, who didn't know that the second brother had to read every morning and would not come to the kiln until the afternoon?
The party was not at the scene, and Tian's father was too righteous, for the sake of the Xie family's good looks, he would definitely say forget it, and this matter was just fooled.
Father Tian really said: "Ah Bing is studying, the child's little temper comes and goes quickly, you can handle this matter properly." ”
Look, my dad is this temper.
Tian Youwei pretended to be ignorant and said, "Daddy, uncle, how can it be handled properly?" ”
Father Tian frowned: "Children's family, don't worry about adults." ”
Tian Youwei hugged his arm and shook it vigorously: "My mother said that I am not young anymore, and I have to follow the learning to manage things, otherwise I will not know anything in the future, and I will be disliked by others, so you can teach me." ”
Father Tian couldn't help her, so he said embarrassedly: "Let my eldest brother laugh, this girl has been spoiled by me." ”
Tian Youwei looked at Xie Huang and smiled, eager for knowledge: "Uncle and uncle, you teach me!" ”
Master Xie smiled kindly and stroked the top of her hair: "I just like Ah Wei's cleverness, since you are interested, I will teach you." ”
Tian Youwei dodged Master Xie's touch: "What do you say?" ”
"Let's go see the sagger first." Master Xie was the first to get up, and Father Tian pulled Tian Youwei to follow behind, poked her forehead lightly, and whispered helplessly: "You! ”
Tian Youwei shook her head happily, Daddy was like this, scolding her in his mouth, but he was still reluctant to move her.
As she walked, she suddenly felt that her cuffs were slightly heavy, and when she looked back, it was Shao Jing who carefully tugged at her cuffs, and ran with them with her short legs, and a pair of dark and bright eyes on her little face looked around curiously, obviously very excited but pretending to be serious and well-behaved.
Tian Youwei quietly slowed down and talked about someone's short legs, asking some things about the kiln in order to familiarize herself with the situation.
Tian's father didn't know her careful thoughts, and answered them one by one patiently, Tian Youwei listened and took notes, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Shao Jing was also listening with her ears pricked up, and her heart was stunned.
Shao Jing was smart and clever since he was a child, especially for human feelings, and he was particularly sensitive, thoughtful and talented.
These things can be remembered once by his ears, and the next time he encounters something, he will be the first to go, and he will never offend someone who should not be offended.
She should learn from him in this regard.
The sagger brought by Master Xie had not yet been unloaded, and it was neatly placed in front of the warehouse door, and Xie San'er, the housekeeper of the Xie family, was tied up and thrown on the ground by Wuhuada, and his face was seen as a pig's liver color by the onlookers.
