Chapter 117: On-the-spot learning
The two of them continued on their way.
Chen Fan also met carpenters, carpenters, sugar chips, and firewood.
There are also those who repair pots, repair furniture, and even freshly knitted straw ropes for sale, which makes Chen Fan call out an eye-opener.
Before they knew it, they had walked around the lake for the most part.
When I walked to the inner corner of the L-shape, I found that there was another place surrounded by many people.
When the two rushed over, Chen Fan realized that he was steaming soft-shelled turtle meat and selling it on the spot, which was really nothing.
Have you ever seen a live fired pottery sold?
Here it is!
I saw that in the field on the other side of the embankment, there was a kiln firing, and at the same time, the master of the kiln was preparing another one, only to see a pit dug in the ground, and the masters were putting the firewood and the pottery embryo that had been laid into it.
At this time, even Jiang Lili was surprised, "Is it too late to burn pottery at this time?" ”
She was asking Chen Fan, and Chen Fan asked the potter directly, "Master, you are burning pottery here, you are not afraid that everyone will run out, and your things have not been burned yet?" ”
A master straightened up and laughed, "We are burning pottery, not porcelain, and the temperature of the pottery is not too high, at most four or five hours can be burned, we have burned two mouthfuls in one morning, and when these two mouths are burned, we will not burn." ”
Chen Fan understood as soon as he heard it, they burned low-temperature pottery, the temperature of this kind of ceramics is not high, only 7, 8 degrees, in the Western Han Dynasty, there are a large number of low-temperature pottery kilns appeared, after two thousand years of circulation, this craft is really not rare in the folk.
Of course, don't expect the pottery fired at the mouth of this clay kiln to be exquisite, and the enamel is not very good-looking, such as a large water tank, you can use this clay kiln to burn out.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan suddenly became interested, and began to constantly test the bottom line of the kiln master, "Master, how did you dig this pit?" Why are firewood and pottery placed in such a way? How to seal the top later? ……”
As long as it does not involve the formula of the clay, as well as the firing skills, the master is also very talkative, and almost all questions are answered.
When this clay kiln is capped, a new partner has also appeared in Chen Fan's skill column: pottery LV1 (5/20).
At this time, Chen Fan was silently calculating, he had already learned carpentry, bricklayering, tailoring, painting, and now he had one more pottery skill.
So, can I rub the thatched hut by myself?
Unfortunately, there is no homestead for the time being.
When I have the opportunity to get a piece of land, I will definitely build a thatched house that combines classical and modern, and has an elegant rural style!
In order to express his gratitude to the pottery master for his generosity, Chen Fan spent two yuan to buy a foot-high clay pot.
Looking at this green clay pot, Jiang Lili was a little puzzled, "Why did you buy this?" ”
Chen Fan pointed not far ahead, "I heard just now that there is a buffalo milk seller there, go see if there are any more." ”
Buffalo milk?
Jiang Lili followed him blankly, there were no children at home, what kind of milk to buy?
After a while, when I arrived at the place, I saw a bucket in front of a person, and in it was half a bucket of buffalo milk.
Someone in front of the stall was asking, "Master, where did you get this milk?" ”
The man immediately laughed, "Of course it was squeezed out of the cow." ”
After a pause, he explained, "This is a cow raised in my own house, and it just so happened that the calves were born a few days ago, and I saved some milk to sell it at the market today, and squeezed a little yesterday, and a little today, that's all." ”
Then he pointed to the barrel and said, "This bucket is still new, I have washed it with boiling water to ensure that it is clean, and there is definitely no water stained with blood concedus." ”
If he didn't mention the last sentence, there would still be people who wanted to buy it, but when he heard this, no one spoke.
Chen Fan took the opportunity to squeeze in, "Master, how do you sell this milk?" ”
The man smiled and said, "There is no standard for this thing, not even a supply and marketing cooperative, only dry milk powder, and I am selling it for the first time, or shall we negotiate a price?" ”
Chen Fan smiled, "It's not priced yet, I'm afraid you're the first one." ”
The man smiled, "We have to act according to our conscience, the price is high, it is not good for you, it is sold cheaply, it is not good for me, or you can say a price first." ”
Chen Fan was willing to offer the price first, pointed to the milk and said, "Are you the seller, or you will open it, if I think it is high, I will bargain." ”
The man nodded, "It's okay, bargaining, rightly so." ”
He gritted his teeth and thought for a while, "In this way, 5 cents a catty, what do you think?" ”
Chen Fan immediately shook his head, "It's high." ”
He then explained, "I'm not afraid to tell you directly, I read a newspaper a few days ago, saying that Shanghai residents order milk, a bottle costs 1 cent and 8 cents, and that bottle is 200 ml, which is about 4 taels."
But their milk, that's the price of the supply and marketing cooperatives, let me give you an example, you are now a farmer, you have to sell it to the purchasing station, the purchasing station and then sell it to the milk factory, and after the milk factory has processed it, then sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative, and finally the supply and marketing cooperative will sell it to the residents. The price is at least 7% off.
And you are buffalo milk, other people's milk is produced by cows, and the price is lower, do you recognize this? ”
Hearing his words, not only the eyes of the milk seller were dizzy, but the other people around him also whispered.
I often read the newspaper and talk about the truth, I'm afraid this person is not a cadre?
Shaking his head, the milk seller said with a wry smile on his face, "Then you still tell you a price." ”
Chen Fan said with a smile, "Shanghai is a big city, and their milk is only 4 cents and 5 pounds, you and I will come out to 3 cents and 2, what do you think?" ”
The man crossed his fingers to settle the account, and before he could figure it out, someone suddenly shouted, "Oh, I remember, he is Master Chen who published an article in the Daily of the Prefectural Party Committee, and he is the broadcaster of Lujiawan." ”
When the others heard this, they immediately turned their heads to look at Chen Fan, wanting to see what this "Wenqu Star" looked like.
After a long look, the eldest daughter-in-law and the little girl all nodded secretly, they were handsome guys.
The young man and the big man are in a complicated mood, even if they are handsome, they are so talented, do they give others a way to live?
When he heard that it was Chen Fan, he didn't bother to forget it, and laughed at him, "It turned out to be Master Chen, then you definitely won't lie to me, just according to what you said, 3 cents and 2 catties." ”
Chen Fan immediately happily poured the water from the kettle into the clay pot he had just bought, rinsed it twice, and then handed it forward, "Come, fill it." ”
Buffaloes can milk an average of 3 times a day, about 4 catties each time, 3 times yesterday, twice today, a total of nearly 20 catties of milk are here.
The seller is not ambiguous, first take a large scale and weigh the bucket together, then pour the milk into the clay pot, and then weigh his own bucket, and finally calculate that there are 19 catties of milk, together with 6 yuan and 8 cents.
Erasing the odds, Chen Fan took out 6 yuan, and then handed the basket containing eggs and chickens to Jiang Lili, and walked forward with the clay pot.
As soon as I walked for a short while, I saw a group of people shouting in front of me,
"Poor for that."
"It's a pity."
Chen Fan glanced over there twice, what happened again?
