Chapter 68: It's opened
At night, after everyone fell asleep, Song Yaoyao took the kaolin sent by the shopkeeper Hao into the laboratory, the shopkeeper Hao sent a total of three kinds of soil, Song Yaoyao took it and put it under the microscope and compared it with the existing one in the laboratory, the whitest one can barely be used, but the whiteness and granularity are still not enough, and the delicacy of the fat powder made is definitely not as good as what he did before, Song Yaoyao thought about turning around and asking the shopkeeper Hao if he could send some better soil.
The next day, Song Yaoyao went to find the shopkeeper Hao, although the shopkeeper Hao sells porcelain, but he knows very little about the raw materials for making porcelain, and he knows little about how to deal with it.
Song Yaoyao said helplessly: "Shopkeeper Hao, you tell me the address of the porcelain kiln, and I will ask it myself." ”
After returning from the shopkeeper Hao, Song Yaoyao confessed, took Feng Liang to the porcelain kiln, the carriage went for a whole day, and the next afternoon, Song Yaoyao and Feng Liang each went to see the manager of the porcelain kiln with a pair of dark circles.
explained the intention, the steward said: "Song shopkeeper, it's not that I don't help you, I have dealt with Hao shopkeeper for more than ten years, since you were introduced by him, you can help me definitely help, our kiln is originally a small kiln, and it will burn some commonly used porcelain and general ornamental porcelain to supply several counties around, you want the dolomite as long as the big kiln has it, you might as well go there to see it." ”
"Big kiln? Where is the nearest kiln from here, please tell the steward. ”
Song Yaoyao and Feng Liang hurried day and night, walked for two more days, and finally arrived at Dingyao, one of the four famous kilns in Dasheng.
Just looking at the scale, the kiln is more than four times larger than the kiln factory near Song'an County, and it is full of workers.
Steward Liu squinted and looked at Song Yaoyao for a long time before he said, "Are you going to buy our white cloud soil?" ”
"Yes, I heard that the dolomite from Dingyao is the best, so I came to buy it."
Steward Liu smiled strangely: "I only know that dolomite can burn porcelain, and it's the first time I've heard that it can make fat powder, Miss Song is not joking." ”
Song Yaoyao said: "In principle, it is possible, but whether it can be used or not depends on the quality, and the quality requirements for making fat powder are not lower than those of porcelain." ”
Steward Liu snorted coldly, turned his head and ordered the people below to get something.
It didn't take long for the little guy to come over with a porcelain plate, and there was a handful of white clay piled on the porcelain plate, and Song Yaoyao only glanced at it and knew that this soil was indeed much better than what he had seen before.
Steward Liu waved his hand, and the little servant turned around and handed the plate to Song Yaoyao.
Song Yaoyao twisted it, and it was really white and delicate, although it was not as good as the calcining of modern technology, but it was enough to make fat powder.
Song Yaoyao wiped his hands and praised: "It is worthy of a famous kiln, and the things are really good." ”
Steward Liu smiled proudly.
Song Yaoyao asked, "In that case, I don't know what price Steward Liu wants to sell to me?" ”
Steward Liu laughed and said arrogantly: "Ten taels of silver a catty, do you want the shopkeeper Song?" ”
Song Yaoyao smiled faintly and said: "Okay, according to the price that Steward Liu said, this is 500 taels, please Steward Liu prepare 50 catties of such quality white cloud clay for me as soon as possible, I am in a hurry." I'll send a guy over if I buy it in the future, and I won't be here myself. ”
Steward Liu's smile froze on his face, and he frowned: "Shopkeeper Song, 500 taels of silver to buy 50 catties of soil, have you thought about it?" ”
"Naturally, I thought about it."
Steward Liu turned his head to the guy and said, "Do you hear that, go and prepare something for Shopkeeper Song." ”
After Song Yaoyao left with 50 catties of white cloud soil, the guy stepped forward and asked, "Steward Liu, it's no problem to give her things like this." ”
Steward Liu sneered and said: "If what she said is true, we can earn our money with peace of mind, if she is a person with ulterior motives, only the soil is useless without our unique calcination method, no matter how we calculate it, we will make a profit and not lose money." ”
On the carriage, Feng Liang frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "The shopkeeper, the one surnamed Liu obviously has bad intentions, fifty catties of soil are sold for five hundred taels, why don't he rob it." ”
Song Yaoyao said lightly: "It's okay, he just doesn't trust me, it's more expensive, who makes this thing have no substitute." ”
"Shopkeeper, why did you agree so happily just now, don't you love to bargain?"
Song Yaoyao said: "I know that he wants to embarrass me, why should I still bargain, if I annoy him, wouldn't it be more troublesome if he doesn't sell it." ”
The carriage went for two more days, and Song Yaoyao and Feng Liang returned to Song'an County.
After Zhu Jingxing and Feng Liang carried things in, they were also taken aback after listening to Feng Liang's complaints, this is really expensive. But thinking about the fat powder they sell, a small box costs 4 taels of silver, which is more than 100 times more valuable than this white cloud, and my heart is calm.
Song Yaoyao asked, "Is there anything going on in the store these days?" ”
Zhu Jingxing said: "The guy from the flower shop sent the rest of the flower seeds, and the guy from the grain store also sent the rest of the tea tree seed oil, and I have paid the money." Tomorrow our plaque will arrive, and Carpenter Tan said that our furniture will take some time, and it will be delivered to us in five days. ”
Song Yaoyao nodded and asked, "Is the workshop running well?" ”
Zhu Jingxing said: "One group has peeled all the flower seeds, and there are still 48 catties left with the loss, and I have asked the group to start grinding the flower seeds." The second group also processed the flowers, and the flower juice was put in the storeroom of the second group, and this morning the second group had already begun to boil rouge oil. ”
Song Yaoyao smiled: "Xiao Zhu, you did a good job." ”
"The shopkeeper has won the prize."
Song Yaoyao ran around for a few days, she was too tired to do anything, and after explaining the matter, she didn't even eat and went to her house to make up for sleep.
Song Yaoyao was considerate of Feng Liang and worked hard with her for so many days, so he let him go back too.
The next day, Song Yaoyao personally went to the workshop to direct the work, and the ground jasmine seeds had to be ground again by stone grinding to reach the level of delicacy required by Song Yaoyao.
On the second group, Song Yaoyao began to instruct them to use the cauldron to make emulsifiers, because the pot was too big, and two people needed to stir it all the time.
In the afternoon, the pot of emulsifier was boiled, and Song Yaoyao asked people to take a fine sieve to sift in the cornstarch and pearl powder little by little.
She took this pearl powder from the laboratory, and she searched all over Song'an County but did not find a shop selling pearl powder, so she could only buy it when she went to the beach in the future.
Fortunately, she bought a lot of things these days, and the others didn't find any more.
Then pour the flower juice into it, add various additives, stir for another hour, and the first pot of sunken fish is made.
In the next few days, one group was still grinding flower seeds, and the second group had already made all 500 boxes of sunken fish.
The delivery date agreed by Carpenter Tan arrived, Song Yaoyao put down the work at hand and went to the shop to see the furniture in person, Song Yaoyao turned around, I have to say that Zhu Jingxing's taste is really good, and all the furnishings have the elegance of a literati, which is very in line with Song Yaoyao's mind.
Song Yaoyao chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, invited many relatives and friends, and held an opening ceremony.
At the ceremony, after Song Yaoyao personally ripped off the red cloth on the plaque, Feng Liang and Zhu Jingxing set off firecrackers on both sides, and the sound of firecrackers blew up the entire street.
After the excitement was over, Song Yaoyao invited everyone to the backyard to have a banquet, and Song Yaoyao raised his glass at the banquet and said: "Today is the day of the opening of my Yiren Hall, thank you for coming to the cold house in your busy schedule, please take care of it in the future!" ”
Then drink the wine in the glass.
Everyone also gave a drink of face, and for a time there was laughter and laughter, and the guests and hosts were happy.
