Chapter 39, Making a Living
"Take good care of my teacher. ”
Accompanied Zhuge Wolong to drink and fart, Shen Shi left. He left about 20 guan for the jailers to take good care of Zhuge Wolong.
"Yes, yes, don't worry. The old gentleman is so good at telling stories, and we all like him very much. ”
The jailers' eyes narrowed with a smile, Shen Shi would give money every time he came, this was the God of Wealth.
After giving money and explaining a few words, Shen Shi left.
Back home, there was no one.
I don't know when they'll be back, and it's impossible to make a phone call.
Well, no one is celebrating on our own.
Shen Shi bought wine and meat, thought about it for a while, and added a wine and meat to each of the military households who repaired his house.
"Thank you, young master, we will definitely repair the house as good as new. ”
There was wine and meat, and they worked harder.
But the first captain came to him. "Young master, you don't need to give them wine and meat, how much does it cost! ”
He came to persuade Shen Shi not to spend so much.
"Well, I see, thank you! It's just that I'm a child, and I'm happy for a while. ”
"Yes, yes, if you are a child, you should be happy. ”
He originally persuaded Shen Shi not to spend too much, but he persuaded people to take a sip and drank several more glasses.
As soon as he drank too much wine, he said everything: "Childe, our gang of thieves has suffered a lot with the army! I have tattoos on my face, and I can't do anything, I can only do some cheap ......."
The old man was complaining, and Shen Shi listened.
"It's better now than it was back then, when there was a war to fight. ”
"Well, I don't have some property at home, you can help. ”
The Shen family still has some industries, as far as Shen Shi knows.
"Oh! no, no. Since the old man, there have been generations of sales industries, and they are long gone. ”
"It's gone, it's long gone!"
As he spoke, he actually cried. Crying is more sad than the loss of your own industry.
This is normal, not to mention that soldiers like them are subordinate in this era, and they are also as proud as their masters. And under the Great Song Dynasty policy, Jiangmen's life is not easy, let alone them.
"Uncle, you also know that I burned porcelain. Originally, no one bought it, and I wasn't going to say it. But it was so coincidental that a noble man from Bianjing took a fancy to my porcelain. The manpower of our village, if you don't mind, can come to work. ”
"Childe, are you serious?" Old Jia Changjiu stopped drinking, and his eyes were very round.
"Old Chief, I'm not a liar. Shen Shi deliberately said angrily.
"No, no, young master, that's not what little old man meant. Xiao Lao'er is saying that we are all a bunch of rough men, this porcelain, we do. ”
"Don't worry, I know how to build a cellar to make porcelain. You choose a few smart and honest ones, and I'll teach them. ”
"Thank you, young master!"
The old captain stopped drinking, and knelt down.
"Uncle Chen, you get up, you get up. One day as a comrade-in-arms, a lifetime as a comrade-in-arms. As long as my Shen family is still in the day, I will not ignore you. Shen Shi assured.
......
After Shen Shi agreed, early in the morning of the second day, seven or eight men appeared in his house. An old man who looked older, seemed to be in his fifties or sixties.
Shen Shi looked at the old armor chief. "Uncle Chen, what is this?"
"This is a craftsman found for Childe. Sun Da, his family is a carpenter. This one is a bricklayer, this one is a mason......"
One by one, they were all skilled workers.
"Xiang He is even more powerful, he has been burning porcelain for twenty years. The old man finally introduced the old man.
"Twenty years, that's not an old porcelain worker. Will they let them go?"
Without waiting for the old armor chief to speak, Xiang He rushed to say: "What old porcelain worker, when the owner burned porcelain in the past, he drove the big guy out, for fear that we would steal the skills." ”
Speaking of this, Xiang He almost cried, and the old armor chief stretched out his big hand and patted him on the shoulder.
"Alright, alright. Now it's the young master's industry, and it will definitely make you burn enough. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Through the introduction of the old chief, Shen Shi knew that Xiang He was the first man in their village to go out. He also worked hard, but his experience was a bad one. Twenty years of burning porcelain for the owner, but still not trusted.
In fact, it is not difficult to burn porcelain, and with Xianghe, it is also a 20-year-old porcelain worker, and he can get started very quickly. As for the cellar, it was the pit that Shen Shi and the little fox dug together.
Of course, since it is officially fired porcelain, it is still necessary to renovate it.
Shen Shi made a request, and they started working in full swing.
And the old and young masters in the village, just like organizing a patrol, go to the cellar every day as long as they have time to take a look. Watching the cellar take shape day by day, their smiles increased, as if happiness beckoned to them.
And Shen Shi did not hide his secrets, and began to seriously teach Xiang and the wet drenching method to burn porcelain. As an old member of the Shen family, he has been excluded outside for another twenty years, and he cherishes this opportunity more than anyone else.
In addition to teaching him, the most important thing is to sell.
Porcelain is not the purpose of burning, it must be burned and sold. That's the key.
However, before they burned out, Shen Shi was not easy to find a seller.
The porcelain toilet that was burned last time was all pulled away by Cao Yu, and there was no product in hand, even if Shen Shi shouted everywhere that he was alive and well, he had to have porcelain first.
The technology has been taught, and what they can burn can only wait and see.
Porcelain burning is a job that attaches equal importance to technology and time, and if you don't know technology, you can't burn porcelain. If there is not enough time to dry in the shade, the fired porcelain will crack directly in the cellar. The same can't be porcelain.
Fortunately, Shen Shi has thousands of pieces in his body, and a few porcelain workers can still raise them.
If you're lucky, you can get porcelain out in a month at most.
When Shen Shi began to teach people to burn porcelain, Xiao Gulu and Da Hei had a new place to go, the cellar.
At first, it was the people in the village who took the initiative to ask Dahei to help watch the scene. But after Da Hei went there once, he seemed to like it and actually set up a nest there. Only come back once in a while.
Big Black is Little Gollum's mount, Big Black has made a home there, and Little Gollum has been there for a long time.
Later, Shen Shi learned that Xiao Gulu was too cute, and he was very popular with the eldest daughter-in-law and little girl in the village, and these two colored dogs knew how to go home.
And after the people in the village knew that it was Da Hei who helped win the money to build the cellar, they didn't treat it too well, so they almost offered it directly. Whatever you want to eat, the villagers will help. If it weren't for the fact that Shenshi barbecue was the technique of later generations, he would be willing to adjust the seasoning. Maybe these two goods won't even return home.
Of course, seeing that the villagers had hope again, Shen Shi was also very happy, and naturally he would not force them to go home. It's just that after the home was renovated, there was no one to live in, and he was the only one left, and in the dead of night, he couldn't help but be a little lonely......
