"Open the kiln!" The people of Xiaqiu Village said two words under everyone's gaze.
Everyone nodded, and the master went over to open the kiln.
As soon as the kiln was opened, a wave of heat hit our faces. The old masters wet their hand towels with cold water, wrapped their heads in it, and went in to get the box.
The people around him held their breath, fearing that any sound would cause resonance and damage the porcelain in the kiln.
A total of four masters went in. Each of them came out holding a box, with twitching muscles on their faces, and nodded vigorously at the others. Carefully come outside and place it on a wooden shelf.
Everyone looked inside the boxes together and saw that the four boxes were all filled with sky-blue bowls.
'Huchi~~Huchi~~' Everyone was breathing rapidly, and someone moved the four boxes to a distant place.
Others entered the kiln one after another to retrieve the boxes, in which the porcelain was held in place by refractory nails, usually at the bottom.
When the time comes, knock out the nails and polish them, and the porcelain will be ready.
Two hundred boxes were taken out first. After opening, some of them had different colors due to different placements or different degrees of fusion between the glaze and the blank.
This process is difficult to control. The blanks and glazes are obviously made from the same batch of materials, including the boxes and nails, but there will always be something special when they are fired.
Some Ru porcelain is azure in color, some are a little pink, and some are closer to blue.
But no matter which one it is, it proves that your porcelain has been fired successfully. When the nails are removed, the kiln workers smile one by one, looking towards the sun and looking away from the sun.
"These thirty-two rows, plus the six that have some kiln changes, the others..."
The old master looked at everyone and put the two hundred porcelain bowls into three groups.
Thirty-two, six, one hundred and fifty-two.
The largest number include those with irregular shapes, some with colors that make people feel uncomfortable, and some with peeling glaze...
Everyone else nodded, agreeing with this classification, but their faces were still full of joy. Who cares about the one hundred and fifty-two waste products?
The remaining thirty-eight are treasures, especially the blue porcelain bowl that day. Sure enough, it is the rain that has broken the sky and the blue clouds have broken the virginity. It makes people feel bright when they look at it, especially the sky is such a color now.
Other boxes were then taken out, and someone shouted: "The kiln has changed! This kiln has changed! Look, it's so beautiful. Once this one comes out of the kiln, I'll make back all my money in a year."
"I've also changed. Look! The vase, such a big vase, has several different colors from top to bottom."
"Look at my set of tea cups, two of them are red."
"Look at me... don't look at it. It's useless, mother! I'll get another one."
This time everyone dared to shout, and they took out boxes one by one. Some boxes contained only one piece of porcelain, and some contained a set.
In fact, two hundred Ru porcelain can also be packed in a large box, but because too much emphasis is placed on it, each one is packed separately.
In this kiln, the original porcelain has undergone many kiln changes for some reason. Even if some are deformed, it is still kiln change. It is a pity...
"Quickly, pack up all the porcelain from this kiln and give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin. Be careful not to damage the bad ones.
Whoever goes to report the news first will make your two highnesses happy. We have made Ru porcelain!
From now on our kiln, oh! Other kiln workers...hahahaha..."
The owner of the kiln laughed loudly as he said this. Everything else is just a small problem. If your porcelain is successfully fired in this kiln, and you will be firing Ru porcelain in the future, do you still have to choose your own kiln?
Which kiln-burning person dares to say that he doesn’t believe in luck? Thanks to myself for agreeing, no, thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin for taking a fancy to my kiln.
After thinking about it, he realized that if he didn't agree to it, he must agree to it. How dare he confront His Highness the Crown Prince?
The people from Xiaqiu Village mounted their horses and ran away to report the news, while others looked for cars, baskets and soft grass.
Put the porcelain produced in your own kiln and the thirty-eight good Ru porcelains on cotton cloth, and be sure not to bump them.
There is no need for me to report the news. My horse is not good enough, and there is no need to talk about my riding skills.
Everyone involved understands that if the bad ones are taken over, His Highness will be the one to smash them, and it will not be their turn. If they are really smashed, they will be in trouble.
The porcelain from your own kiln was fired in the same batch as your porcelain, so it should have commemorative significance, especially since there were many changes in the kiln.
Offer it to the prince together, no money will be sold, as long as the kiln is there, everything else is easy to talk about.
…
"What was the meal provided to the mine this morning? Just like before, porridge with pickles?"
Zhu Biao hadn't received the news yet. He thought that he should eat fried dough sticks and drink milk, so the miners were porridge?
Zhao Li drank with him and replied: "Not today, this morning it was cucumber and egg soup, not much cucumber, eggs. We have learned the skill of throwing one egg into a large bowl of soup."
However, there are chicken soup dumplings with whole wheat noodles. The vegetables are chopped into pieces, and the chicken fat is in the form of a paste. Stir it into the filling. Once the buns are wrapped and steamed, the chicken fat melts. "
"It's good to eat it with oil." Zhu Biao picked up a piece of beef with soy sauce.
He knew that Xiaqiu Village and the palace did not allow eating so much chicken fat, and he would not eat it if he could, so unless there was oil when the chicken was stewed, no chicken fat was allowed in other cases.
When there is no shortage of oil and water, eating chicken fat is not good for your health.
It is obviously no problem to feed the miners, but they are short of oil and water and have no problem eating.
After listening to this, Zhu Xi thought of the source of the chicken fat and asked Zhao Li: "Zhao Li, let's go. Where can you get the meat and oil?"
"This..." Zhao Li looked troubled: "We'll think of a solution then."
Today's oil and oil residue are leftover from the normal diet of the team. They are used to make lunch boxes for the village before the team leaves...
"Brother, didn't I say that before? I asked you to ask more about Zhu Li."
Zhu Xi reminded, what's the use of worrying about yourself? When I am worried, I will solve it in Xiaqiu Village.
Zhao Li looked at the chief: "Yichang, this kind of thing can..."
"Yiji, in fact, the fundamental problem lies in the utilization of raw materials. If you buy meat and then make lunch boxes, it is reprocessed and sold.
So there are actually several links in the middle process, each of which can generate profits.
Including buying pigs and killing them yourself, wouldn’t the people in Zhaojia Village not eat?
There is also lard suet, which is expensive to buy separately. Even if the price is high, after buying it, you boil out the oil and sell the oil separately. In fact, you can make back the money you paid for the suet without leaving any extra oil residue.
Because there are labor costs and fuel costs in this process, your fuel costs are zero.
Your labor costs can be spread. The time it takes to boil one pig in suet is actually not much different from boiling ten pigs.
Therefore, it needs to be scaled up, clustered, streamlined, and technical. This is how profits will come out.
In Yingtianfu, Xiaqiu Village received a special box lunch customer. Three meals a day were given to people who did manual labor for five cents.
If you change the store, who dares to say this, you will be beaten to death without injustice, I took over it in Xiaqiu Village, I did it, and there is still a little profit! "
The director explained to Zhao Li how to save costs and said that he had done such things before.
Zhao Li: "..."
He looked at the prince and King Qin, and they nodded, indicating that they were right.
