A few steps out of the door, Master Zhao immediately pulled out his hand and looked at Tian Ruyue with a serious face: "Go back, I don't need you to accompany you for the teacher." He can give up his old face, but he can't lose face in front of his disciples, and he still wants to retain the last dignity.

Tian Ruyue resolutely refused to leave, but admonished: "Master, don't go to ask Master Li, he won't help you, why do you want to humiliate yourself again?" ”

Master Zhao sank his face: "...... If you don't ask him for the teacher, you go back to the house, and the teacher immediately goes to the door of the guard to ask for the owner. The teacher was punished for this, and the proprietor could not escape responsibility. "He's just a small person, and the person who Manager Wang really wants to rectify through this matter is Wei Jin.

"Master, I have come up with a brilliant idea, and you don't need to ask anyone." Tian Ruyue gushed out the theory of the plaster model, and looked at Master Zhao's eyes with his own eyes, and opened his mouth in shock from the patient, and made the final conclusion with a smile: "You see, as long as the plaster model is made, even if you are a beginner who can't teach it, as long as you are fast, three hundred flower pots in seven days are not a problem at all." ”

Master Zhao trembled excitedly: "This is an earth-shattering feat!" Stone, who do you learn from? ”

Tian Ruyue looked embarrassed with apologetic eyes: "On the day I left the school, the master explained that his name should not be mentioned when I travel abroad in the future, and his old man is afraid that I will cause trouble and affect his ......." ”

Master Zhao: "...... Your master must be a master of the world! How can I come up with such a brilliant idea! ”

Tian Ruyue: "...... You misunderstood, this is not my master and his old man came up with it, it is my master's master's master's master's master...... Come up with it. ”

Master Zhao: "......"

Tian Ruyue stretched out her hand and dragged him: "Don't be in a daze, master, time is pressing, let's hurry up and find the white [river crab] powder, that is, the white powder used for tofu, and only after finding it can we make a flower pot model, then you can find some people who can be trusted, I will personally operate them to learn with them, and I will learn them all in less than a day, hurry up!" ”

The master and apprentice left the kiln factory overnight in a horse-drawn carriage, and took advantage of the night to knock on a tofu maker's house, but only bought a small amount of gypsum powder.

Master Zhao was extremely disappointed, but Tian Ruyue took the opportunity to offer the silver and asked the store to take them up the mountain to mine overnight.

Gypsum is a monoclinic crystalline mineral, and only raw gypsum is dug out, and model gypsum can be obtained by calcination.

When the shopkeeper saw them digging up a sack, he curiously asked them what they were going to do with it.

Tian Ruyue smiled and said, "It's useful." ”

The shopkeeper didn't get an answer and left with the money he had gotten.

Master Zhao took Tian Ruyue to take the carriage back to the capital.

Tian Ruyue looked at Master Zhao and asked, "Master, let's go back to the kiln factory now?" ”

Master Zhao shook his head: "There are too few people in the kiln factory, didn't you say that the gypsum model will be made into flower pots by raw hands?" I will take you back to my father's house now, and the whole house will be able to complete the explanation of General Manager Wang. ”

Tian Ruyue took the opportunity to ask about Master Zhao's family situation, and learned that Master Zhao already had a wife and two concubines, and had six boys and seven girls.

Tian Ruyue: "......"

Master Zhao saw that he didn't speak, and his face was full of pride: "...... The wife and concubine are harmonious, and the heirs are prosperous, and this life is enough. ”

Tian Ruyue: "...... Do you raise it? ”

"Ahem!" Master Zhao glared at him: "As a teacher, he is also the master of the official kiln, and he has a good salary, how can he not support his wife and children?" ”

You have a lot of wives and children! Tian Ruyue smiled in her heart.

Speaking of his children, Master Zhao's face was full of love, and he looked at Tian Ruyue a few times with meaningful eyes.

At night, the moonlight was dim, and the light in the carriage was even dimest, Tian Ruyue didn't notice Master Zhao's eyes at all, and was bent on how to calcine raw gypsum to successfully make a flower pot model.

The kiln factory exploded because she didn't return all night.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the pillar and others got up to wash up and discuss.

"What did this stone do? Didn't return all night. ”

"Someone saw him leave the kiln factory with his master, and he didn't know what to do."

"You say, the master can't run away with a stone, right?" As soon as Zhu Zi finished speaking, he was slapped on his head by Chen Jiuyi.

"Jing Hu said, hurry up and finish washing and start work, the master must be taking the stone to find a way." Otherwise, with just a few of them, it would be absolutely impossible to complete Manager Wang's explanation in seven days.

Xiao Lin stared at Tian Ruyue's black-headed cat with a strange expression.

Zhu Zi followed his gaze to catch a glimpse of the black cat that was still sleeping, and turned his head to stare at him and teased: "It turns out that the snoring is that this cat is not a stone, and he didn't even explain, so we all misunderstood." After speaking, seeing Xiao Lin's face was a little embarrassed, he winked at him: "When he comes back tonight, you move your bed to his side." ”

Kobayashi: "...... I hate cats. ”

The gossip began to work, while the others had just gotten up and were ready to wash.

Chen Jiu took the pillars and they worked hard, even drinking less water and trying to go to the toilet as much as possible, in order to make one more flower pot and be one step closer to completing the explanation.

And the fact that Master Zhao and his apprentices wanted to make 300 flower pots before the Hundred Flowers Banquet had already spread throughout the factory, and there were many discussions in private.

If they can't complete the explanation, Manager Wang will be implicated.

Some apprentices have nothing to do with themselves, some apprentices are kind-hearted, and after doing their own work, they will run to help Chen Jiu and them, although the skills are different, but some jobs are similar, and a little help can still be done, such as going to the river to fetch water, helping and mud and so on.

The people who came to help soon discovered an obvious problem, Master Zhao never appeared all day, and after curiosity, he learned that even the newly recruited apprentices had disappeared, and there were different opinions for a while.

Some people say that Master Zhao escaped with his new apprentice, and some people say that they went to ask the owner to find a way.

Soon it was dark again, and it was bedtime again.

Chen Jiu and the others gathered in the house, their faces solemn, because Master Zhao and Tian Ruyue did not return for a day and discussed again, but in the end they did not come to any conclusion, and finally went back to their respective rooms, turned off the oil lamp and went to bed.

I still get up before dawn to wash and work hard to make flower pots.

But today is different from yesterday, I haven't seen Master Zhao show up for a long time, and there are half fewer people to help today than yesterday. Everyone is preoccupied, and the speed of work has dropped a lot compared to yesterday.

Another day passed, and that night Chen Jiu and the others gathered in the room again, and Zhu Zi couldn't help but question: "The master won't be ...... Did you really leave us behind? ”

Oyama and Kobayashi were silent.

Chen Jiu retorted with a solemn expression: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, don't think nonsense, go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow to continue working." ”

But I had insomnia this night, no one could sleep, and no one found that Tian Ruyue's cat had not returned overnight.
