"Gentleman, whatever utensils you want, I will definitely make them."

Fan Dou's voice also has confidence.

Xin said again: "There are a lot of things to do, more than one." ”

"In that case, the gentleman only needs to tell me what to do, my craft of firing pottery...... I will never lose to my father! ”

After Fan Dou finished speaking, he looked at his father.

After being taught by Xin again, Fan Yi no longer dared to say that his son's craftsmanship was inferior to his own.

Xin said again: "I'll take a look at what you fired first." ”

This small pottery workshop is made by a father and son.

Xin picked up another clay pot and put it in front of his eyes to watch.

Pottery is a popular sand gray pottery in the spring and autumn period, which is manufactured by the wheel system, and most of the surface of the pottery is a string pattern, a rope pattern or a mat pattern.

From Xin You's point of view, apart from some new types of ware that Fan Yi learned from Wang Cheng, there is nothing remarkable about the pottery here.

After all, it is a small place, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is not very superb.

However, it is enough to make the simplest stills.

In the past few days, Xin has already learned some basic information about Xinyi.

Xinyi is mainly agricultural, and there is a large amount of high-quality farmland on and below the mountain, which is rich in millet rice.

The surplus millet is also used to make wine, so winemaking is the second largest economic pillar of Xinyi.

As for the small industry such as pottery, it is not the main industry of Xinyi.

It is mainly for the use of the people of Xinyi themselves.

Making pottery is a complicated thing, especially when it comes to making beautiful pottery.

In addition to the problem of raw materials, craftsmen are the top priority, relying on these two craftsmen in Xinyi today, they will definitely not be able to make good pottery.

Xin also told himself to take it one step at a time, first of all, he had to make some money for Xinyi, and everything else was easy to say.

"Gentleman, are you still satisfied with these things I made?" Fan Dou asked.

He has always been very confident in making pottery in himself, but he has never been approved by his father.

If Xin said yes again, then his father couldn't say anything either.

"In terms of pottery alone, you are already on a par with your father." Xin said again.

Hearing Xin You's words, a smile appeared on Fan Dou's face.

This is an affirmation from Dr. Yi!

From then on, his father couldn't say anything.

"But the craftsmanship of your father and son is far from the real pottery masters of this era......"

This is a sentence that Xin Youyou thought in his heart, and he didn't say it.

"I don't know what utensils the gentleman wants, you have also seen it, I can burn these commonly used utensils." Fan Dou said.

Xin said: "I want a lot of things, and there are some utensils that you may not have seen, so you'd better write them down and send them to my home in five days." ”

"Okay, gentleman, don't worry." Fan Dou Road.

Later, Xin said a long list of things, several of which he also highlighted.

Fan Yi and Fan Dou, father and son, looked relaxed.

The things Xin asked for were not outlandish, they were all commonly used pottery.

It's just that the shape and size of some pottery are different from usual.

And then there are these things that Xin wants, and the size is extremely strict.

Thinking that Xin was proficient in etiquette, this might be the use of some kind of sacrifice, the father and son did not dare to doubt it, let alone slack off, and as soon as Xin left again, they set out to do it.

……

When Xin left the pottery shop again, it was almost noon.

His stomach rang a few times, and the stomach of the man behind him rang even more.

"Let's go back to dinner first." Xin said again.

"Good! Gentleman! ”

One master and one slave returned home, and the meal was ready.

The food of a small nobleman like Xin You is actually not very luxurious.

Compared with the dazzling array of food in later generations, what Xin eats is really not "good".

It's either boiled, steamed, or burned.

In addition to some high-end food when swallow drinking, Xin You's daily food is no different from that of Chinese people.

Of course, this is the food of the petty aristocracy.

If it was a big noble, the food for every meal every day would not be so shoddy.

"Gentleman, what are we going to do in the afternoon?"

When Xin finished eating again, he asked in a whisper.

Xin thought about it again, and then said, "Prepare for class!" ”

"Preparing for class? What is lesson preparation? ”

"Just think about what I should tell the people of the country in the evening." Xin said again.

“…… Gentleman, there is something I want to report to the gentleman. He whispered.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Uh...... I was in Cheng's village just now, and I heard something when I was unraveling. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Those people from the Cheng clan may not come to the township school in the evening!" Ozo Road.

"Looks like they're trying to use this against me......" Xin laughed again.

Xin Youyou had already been mentally prepared for such a thing.

Teaching people to read is a big deal.

Old foxes like Xiang Chengmi and Xin Duan would not have imagined the consequences of doing so.

So they will do everything they can to stop Xinyou.

As long as most of the Chinese people don't go to the township school, Xin You's matter can't be done!

Even if you want to do it, you have to ask for the consent of the three elders.

"Gentleman, the people of the Cheng clan have already said that they will not go to the township school, and I heard that our Xin clan and Yin clan have also decided not to go to the township school, and I don't know how many people can come today."

Zuo said.

"It's okay, everything is difficult at the beginning, this is just the beginning, maybe there will be no one in the township school in a few days." Xin was indeed not very worried about this matter, because he had already thought of a way to deal with Chengmi.

……

In spring and autumn, people only eat two meals.

By the time the afternoon came, many people had already finished their dinner.

Xin came to the township school early again, where he waited for his "students".

Yu Zuo stood outside the village school and waited for Xin You.

He was a slave and was not eligible to enter the village school unless he went to serve the nobles.

The sun was setting in the west, and sure enough, few people came to the township school.

Du Gan brought a few young sons of the Du family, as well as a few young people from the Mao family, who also came.

After a while, a few more Chinese people came intermittently.

Most of them are idle and watching the excitement.

There are also a few sent by Cheng Mi and Xin Duan, they just want to see how Xin makes a fool of himself.

By the time of the third quarter, there were less than twenty people in the township school.

"Gentleman, some people may have forgotten, I'll call them."

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Du Gan wanted to bring a few more people to fill the scene for Xin You.

"No need, these people are just right."

Xin was sitting in the middle of the township school.

"Gentleman, what words are we learning today?"

A freckled teenager asked aloud.

"Today, let's learn the word 'Zhou' first, Zhou, which is the week of my sect, the week of Zhou, the week of Zhou!" Xin spoke again: "I have engraved this word on this wooden board, you can take a good look at it." ”

The countrymen walked across the planks and frowned as they looked at the intricate writing on it.

In the spring and autumn period, the characters are still big seals, and the murals are complex and very difficult to recognize.

Xin did not ask everyone to become erudite, but only asked them to recognize some words and numbers, so that they could help Xin Yi when necessary.

"Now that I'm going to tell you a story."

"The story? What a story?! ”

Those who sat below were suddenly interested.

"Let's tell the story of Mu Tianzi's journey to the west when he drove to the west......"

Xin looked at the people below again, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
