Volume 1 Chapter 108 Ceramic Workshop
The Xu family lacked manpower, and Su Huan temporarily lived back in the village to teach the subordinates of the family.
Before the Xu family bought people, there was a little rumor in the village, but after seeing that the person they bought was Guan Dongyue and them, the people in the village suddenly felt unaccustomed to it.
Xu Yunjin could feel that kind of alienation was not with malice, but with a little awe.
Even though Guan Dongyue and the others explained many times that they had voluntarily sold themselves or even forced the Xu family to accept them, the people in the village still faced them with a little respect that they had not had before.
Xu Yunjin couldn't feel their malice, so he didn't take things to heart, but he just felt that it was better to make it more convenient for his family to manage the workshop.
The recent good news of the Xu family is that one after another, in addition to Xu Yunjin's winery after the low-key start, Xu Yunnan's ceramic workshop has also entered the finishing stage.
It has been a month since the ceramic workshop was built, and the workshop was built large, and it was necessary to build a cave for firing ceramics, so it took a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally ushered in the first kiln of the ceramic workshop.
Early the next morning, except for Xu Wen and his son, who could not come back in Fucheng, and Xu Yunzhao, who was often taken to the mountain by two masters to train and was not at home recently, everyone else went to Zhuangzi in a carriage.
Xu Yunnan has been guarding there with those masters for the past few days, just waiting for today's family to accept the results of more than a month.
"Phew!"
Xu Yunjin had just led his sister into the carriage, and was about to get into the carriage when he heard Yuan Xuan's voice.
"Why are you here?"
Xu Yunjin was a little surprised, didn't this person go to find a candidate for her, why is he free again today, isn't it someone who has already found it?
"I heard that the third uncle said that today is a good day for Brother Xu's workshop to open the kiln, last time I took back the white jade vase my mother loves it very much, this time I have to grab a good time to buy two first, otherwise if Brother Xu's shop opens, I'm afraid I won't be able to squeeze in if I want to buy it."
The two brothers and sisters talked and laughed all the way, and the Zhang family poked their heads out from time to time to look at the two, and Yuan San on the side also listened to the chat between the two from time to time and laughed, and after a while, the group arrived at the door of Zhuangzi.
As soon as Xu Yunjin got off the carriage, Xu Yunnan and Uncle Xiang's family were standing at the door waiting for the Xu family.
"County lord, old lady, you are here."
"Grandpa Xiang doesn't need to be polite." Xu Yunjin stretched out his hand to support Uncle Xiang.
The family entered Zhuangzi and walked to the workshop by Xu Yunnan.
The workshop was built on the mountain behind Zhuangzi, and the group walked for a quarter of an hour to get to the workshop, and the workshop was built very large.
As soon as I entered the door, it was hot, and there were only a few masters and more than a dozen subordinates who bought from the tooth shop in the courtyard.
"I've seen the county lord."
When the group saw that the Xu family had stopped their work and saluted.
"Yes, Anan, I will be an adult in the future, and I will have to shoulder the responsibility of the workshop."
Old man Xu couldn't help but reach out and pat his eldest grandson on the shoulder when he looked at the busy scene in the workshop, and the younger generation of their family had all embarked on the path they chose.
It's that a hundred years later, when he goes down to see his ancestors, he can stand up, and he has to show off to his ancestors that he has a good granddaughter.
"Grandpa, grandma, father, second aunt, don't worry, I will definitely run the workshop well."
Xu Yunnan said to several elders with a serious face, Li, who was almost six months pregnant, couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he looked at his energetic son, and Lin was steadily supporting his sister-in-law.
"Sister, Ah Jin, wait for my brother to make more and better porcelain, and when I make money in the future, I will buy you clothes and gold and silver jewelry, and dress you up beautifully."
Speaking of this, Xu Yunnan laughed, and the rest of the Xu family couldn't help but shake their heads, so that Xu Yunnan looked like the youngest in the Xu family.
Xu Yunnan called a young man to take the Xu family to look around, he was going to work, he was busy for a few days and nights, just waiting for the kiln to open today to see the yield rate.
Xu Yunjin walked around the workshop for a while and wanted to see how the taro was growing.
Generally, taro can be dug out in October, and I don't know if there is a large taro on the farm.
Yuan Xuan naturally followed Xu Yunjin wherever he went, and Uncle Xiang's grandson, Xiao Sanzi, led the two to the taro field.
"Little Sanzi, give me the hoe!"
Xu Yunjin tied up the long skirt that was in the way, took the hoe in the hand of the little third son, and was about to squat down to dig taro.
"Senior sister, let me come, you tell me how to dig."
Xu Yunjin was wearing an apricot-colored dress today, if it was stained with soil, it would be very obvious, Yuan Xuan looked at it, took the hoe from Xu Yunjin's hand and prepared to do it himself.
Looking at Yuan Xuan's movements, the smile on Xu Yunjin's face never went down, and he commanded Yuan Xuan to cut down the taro pole first, and then carefully dig out a taro plant.
"This... It's the taro I ate at your house last time, there are so many taro plants in one plant, so isn't there tens of thousands of catties in these ten acres of land?"
Xu Yunjin looked at the few big taros on the ground and was very satisfied, I am afraid that there are ten catties in total, and the system is really a high-quality product.
It seems that there is no shortage of red taro seeds next year, and she still has tens of thousands of catties in her warehouse.
Besides, there is still about a month to dig up, and the taro is still long.
"Senior sister, do you want to plant a lot of this taro next year?"
Yuan Xuan's hands were covered with mud at the moment, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart when he looked at the taro on the ground.
"Yes, but..." Xu Yunjin deliberately dragged out his voice and looked at Yuan Xuan.
"I will only leave 10,000 catties of taro seeds for the village, and the rest depends on who can collect them, and the village can't eat so much."
Yuan Xuan saw Xu Yunjin's naughty appearance and knew that his junior sister had already hit him with her idea.
"Ahem, the yield of red potatoes is so high, it is a very good thing for the people of Daqi, I will send a letter to my uncle to tell him about this great event."
Xu Yunjin's little fox showed a satisfied smile, senior brother is too good.
That's right, Xu Yunjin's purpose is to let the emperor interfere in this matter, their family has no power and no power now, once they are targeted by He Xiang one day, then their family will be in danger.
Since the power comes too slowly, then get the voice of the people first, if their family is supported by the people of Daqi, then even if they want to do something to their family, they will have scruples.
What ordinary people want most is to be well fed and clothed, in this case, she will solve this problem from the most important thing to eat.
The two brothers and sisters discussed the follow-up plan, ensuring that when He Xiang and the others knew the news, the emperor had already allocated the taro seeds to the capital city he wanted to distribute, and then not only the emperor's public voice would rise, but the Xu family, who provided the seeds, would also enter the people's field of vision.
The Xu family waited in the workshop for a whole day, until the sun was about to go down The first batch of porcelain in the workshop was made, and several young men behind Xu Yunnan came over with a vase.
"Why is this porcelain still cyan?"
Old Man Xu looked at the vase in the hands of two people who were actually cyan, and couldn't help but stand up and want to reach out and touch it, but he was afraid that his hand would be heavy and he moved his hand away, but his eyes were staring at the two blue and white porcelains motionlessly.
"Big brother, when will you make blue and white porcelain?"
Xu Yunjin was very pleased, Xu Yunnan had made a few white jade porcelain vases before, and at that time she also said that maybe the eldest brother would soon make blue and white porcelain, but she didn't expect that it would only be a long time, and she had already seen the finished product.
"I had some ideas before, until a few masters came recently, and we studied together for a while, and we made a few defective products two days ago.
I was worried that there were defects in the kiln today, so I thought I would surprise you, and now it seems that the effect is good."
The Xu family has a very special place, as long as it is in the field that they are good at, they can shine.
As a royal nobleman, this was also the first time he had seen such a special blue and white porcelain vase, and with a wave of his hand, he bought the only three blue and white porcelain at a high price of six thousand taels.
