In private, Su Qingluan heard Liu Yunniang complain more than once that her appetite was too large, so that for a period of time she could never have enough to eat.
Seeing her sitting on the side trying her best to remain polite, chewing little bits and pieces, I was worried that she would not be full because of embarrassment, so I used serving chopsticks to fill her bowl with various meats and vegetables. Don't let her eat too "actively".
Mrs. Yang, on the other hand, kept holding Liu Yunniang's thin arm and sighed: "Hey, how can such a little girl be so thin? I thought my eldest daughter was thin enough, but you are even thinner than my eldest daughter!"
Then he also joined the army of adding rice and vegetables.
Although Liu Yunniang's appetite is relatively large, she has not reached the level of those "big eaters" and is still within the range of normal humans.
So Yang and Su Qingluan fed the food in a "left and right" way. After a while, Liu Yunniang felt that she had almost eaten - and because the food Su Qingluan cooked was so delicious, she even had enough to eat. At about the same time, I took another dumpling and half a bowl of porridge.
The two children also ate a lot today. And brightly colored things are indeed more attractive to children. These two people specially choose colorful flower buns to eat. Especially Su Xueyan, this little girl had just been pulling Liu Yunniang to play wildly, but now she had nothing in her stomach and had eaten more than usual.
Originally, Su Qingluan thought that Liu Yunniang's first visit to the Su family would not be too shabby as a "receiving feast" or something like that.
So although Su Jia usually adheres to the frugal attitude of "eat as much as you can", this time in order to make the dishes richer, all the dishes are particularly large.
So even though there were eight dishes, Su Qingluan estimated that it could feed at least eleven or two people.
Unexpectedly, everyone basically performed "exceptionally well". Even Su Qingluan himself was infected by the atmosphere of delicious food and ate half an extra piece of cake.
So after the meal, the result was that everyone, including Su Qingluan, almost couldn't stand up after eating, and they were lazing around the dining table with their round bellies, not wanting to get up.
In the end, Liu Yunniang couldn't sit still for the first time. She wanted to stand up and clean up the dishes, but she was stopped by Su Qingluan: "I said today is a welcome banquet for you. Since this is the case, how can I let you clean up?" Woolen cloth?"
Yang also smiled and said: "Whatever Da Ya says, just listen to Liu Yatou. If she wants to hire you, she won't let you stay away from work. You will be busy starting tomorrow."
There was no words all night, and Liu Yunniang stayed in Su Qingluan's room that night.
Sure enough, from the next day, Liu Yunniang began to work like a wheel, following Su Qingluan around non-stop.
The next day is the so-called "interview", and the recruitment notice clearly stipulates that the final registration deadline is today's evening at 1:00 p.m. - that is, before about 6 p.m. If anyone applies for the job beyond this time, Su Qingluan will not recruit him.
But before that time, because everyone had to work in the fields, Su Qingluan was not worried that anyone would be left out during this period.
Because of this, Su Qingluan took Yun Niang to the market since early morning.
Although the outer packaging of the jam was designed by Mu Xingzhi, and Su Qingluan also told him his general design ideas, the container of the jam has not yet been finalized.
So throughout the whole day, Su Qingluan kept comparing several plans that had been finalized, and finally selected a celadon with ice cracks.
In fact, this kind of celadon with ice cracks is not considered valuable in the aesthetics of this era. Instead, the porcelain cracks due to uneven heating during the firing process, giving people an ominous feeling of "breaking", so it is not Popular with wealthy people.
Therefore, any porcelain with such ice cracks is considered a "defective product". Not only is it sold cheaply, but it is also always sold as a "giveaway".
So when Su Qingluan deliberately chose such a seat container made of ice-cracked porcelain, both Liu Yunniang and the porcelain vendor found it strange.
Su Qingluan didn't explain anything, just smiled at Liu Yunniang and said: "Sometimes, even if others don't like things, they may not be useless."
For example, this ice-cracked porcelain must be rare among wealthy people just because it is not popular.
Ice cracks have many die-hard fans in modern times, and although the aesthetics are diverse, they also have their own commonalities.
Porcelain patterns that can be favored by most people in another time and space may not be unable to attract a group of preferential people in this time and space - as long as they are promoted and the ice cracks are separated from the "broken" and "unknown" images.
What's more, although this porcelain is not expensive, its color is sky blue. If it is painted with color and then glazed before firing, it will have the feeling of petals flying and falling in mid-air.
Compared with the plainness of white porcelain, this kind of celadon actually has a different kind of transparent and clear feeling after being painted, which is better than pure white porcelain.
Su Qingluan also patiently changed and mixed several similar colors, matching the color of the petals on each bottle with the azure background color to achieve the best visual effect.
Finally, Su Qingluan selected the color of the pattern and finalized the shape of the container.
"Each set is made of three jars. The color and pattern of each jar must be according to my drawings, without any mistakes." Su Qingluan looked at the craftsman who fired the porcelain, "I want ten sets in total. I will leave it here for the time being. It’s a deposit of ten taels of silver. If I’m satisfied with the finished product, the price will be as we just discussed.”
With that said, Su Qingluan put down a gold ingot worth one tael - one tael of gold and ten taels of silver, which is okay.
But in this small market, he can carry gold with him, which shows that he is not a small customer. The craftsman stared at the one tael of gold in disbelief. After a moment, he picked it up, put it in his mouth and bit it hard.
Seeing that the gold was soft in texture, and there was no layer or discoloration on the cross-section that he had chewed out, he immediately grinned from ear to ear, smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows: "Brother, please be kind! Up to five Today, our shop will definitely handle these thirty small jars for you!"
Su Qingluan thought for a while and shook her head: "Five days is not enough, three days at most." Although she still has about ten days, just in case, she can't schedule it so full in case something happens. If there is a mistake, she must ensure that there is room for improvement.
Thinking like this, Su Qingluan confirmed again: "In three days at most, you have to restore the patterns on it exactly according to the drawings and colors I just drew for you - you don't have to ask why, as long as they are exactly the same. That’s good.”
The pattern planned to be painted on the porcelain bottle is exactly how the petals of three different jams corresponding to different flowers fall in the real world.
It's just that unlike traditional porcelain that uses ink painting or gongbi painting, Su Qingluan's painting method is more like traditional gongbi painting that incorporates perspective.
Su Qingluan once experimented. Even if the people who followed Mu Xingzhi and were good at fine brush painting didn't understand the perspective relationship, if a perspective drawing was placed in front of them, they could copy it exactly the same - but This does not mean that these people understand perspective.
The evidence is that if you don't give them any templates and let them find the perspective proportion relationship on the actual objects, they will still be in a mess.
But this time, Su Qingluan didn't intend to let the painting masters know the "perspective relationships" of the flowers she painted - she just wanted them to be able to draw these patterns stroke by stroke.
Hearing Su Qingluan's words, the craftsman of the porcelain shop was a little embarrassed: "Three days... It's a bit too rushed..."
Su Qingluan curled her lips and added another tael of gold.
The man took another bite and then immediately seemed to change his face: "Hey, three days is all. Even if we don't eat, drink or sleep in these three days, we have to burn these thirty jars for you!"
Although Su Qingluan had expected it, he was still amazed by his ability to turn against someone like turning the page in a book.
But she didn't say anything more and just nodded: "Work hard and the benefits will be yours."
After saying that, Su Qingluan planned to lift the curtain and walk out of the porcelain shop. The porcelain burner in the porcelain shop quickly glared at the waiter next to him: "Why don't you send your distinguished guest off quickly?! What a sight!" So the little waiter nodded hurriedly and bent down to open the curtain for Su Qingluan.
At this time, Liu Yunniang, who was sent out to buy things, also came back.
She had a rug on each shoulder, a bamboo basket on her back, and large and small bundles in her hands. From a distance, it looks like a salesman carrying a load
Su Qingluan sighed: "You actually bought them all at once?" She thought these things would have to travel for at least half a day tomorrow.
Liu Yunniang put the big and small packages on the ground and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Although these things are trivial, they are not very heavy. I thought if I could buy them all, you would save yourself the hassle."
Su Qingluan looked at the sky. It was still some time before Yang and Su Guangfu closed the stall to pick up their younger brother from school. Su Qingluan didn't plan to wait for them anymore and said to Liu Yunniang: "I will buy some later tonight." There are quite a lot of things to cook, so I will hire a mule cart later to transport these things back, and the two of us can just walk back behind the cart."
Liu Yunniang heard this and said quickly: "These are not heavy, if you buy some food, I can carry them!"
Su Qingluan saw that she was sweating profusely from exhaustion and said with a smile: "Today you have overfulfilled the task that I originally planned to give you tomorrow. Not to mention whether you have the strength, even if you still have it, but look You looked like you were covered in bundles and bundles just now, so you couldn't spare an extra hand?"
Liu Yunniang thought so, so she said nothing more.
Today's work went smoothly and Su Qingluan was in a good mood. Unexpectedly, this "good mood" gradually disappeared when registration closed in the evening.
