After Jiang Xiaoxing walked away, she returned to the courtyard and had dinner with Zhu Yongwu and Jiang Chunyu.
The fragrant braised pork melts in your mouth, is fat but not greasy, and tastes great.
The three of them ate happily and were very satisfied.
In the afternoon, Zhu Yongwu went to find Jiang Zhengxin.
The next day, the news that the porcelain kiln was recruiting apprentices and permanent workers spread to every corner of Jiangjia Village.
Since the establishment of the porcelain kiln, everyone in the village has seen how the business has been, and everyone has a good idea of its future development.
Being able to learn how to make and fire porcelain is as good as being able to learn the craft from a bamboo weaving workshop. It can ensure your livelihood.
Many people were eager to try it, and there was a long queue at the porcelain kiln.
While waiting in line, they were chatting and discussing whether to be a long-term worker or an apprentice.
Jiang Zhengxin was at the town hall, chatting with the villagers and having fun.
As he was talking, Jiang Zhengxin saw Jiang Datou walking this way.
"Here comes the big head?" Jiang Zhengxin asked with a smile.
Jiang Datou's family was having a hard time, and Jiang Zhengxin knew that. He wanted to make a living, and Jiang Zhengxin also understood.
But the situation of Jiang Datou's family is indeed not suitable for people to be apprentices or long-term workers for a long time.
The village also provides support to Jiang Datou's family.
Jiang Zhengxin hopes that the entire Jiangjia Village can help the elderly and the elderly, and the young and the young, so that the village can help others in need.
But Jiang Zhengxin also hopes that the atmosphere in Jiangjia Village can be corrected, that people should know how to be grateful, know how to consider the good things of others, and not take the help of others for granted, let alone take it too far.
So Jiang Zhengxin was a little scared at the moment.
I was afraid to hear that Jiang Datou was a little confused and thought about making a living in the porcelain kiln.
"Uncle, I have something to do with you." Jiang Datou smiled honestly, "Shall we go and have a few words?"
"Sure." Jiang Zhengxin followed Jiang Datou to the foot of a large honey locust tree nearby, "What's the matter?"
"It's true that something happened." Jiang Datou said with some embarrassment, "We're about to finish the wheat harvest. I still have a lot of surplus grain at home, so I thought about taking a few bags and donating them to the ancestral hall. Then Uncle Zheng will see You can use it, or you can give it to someone else, or you can exchange it for money and keep it in the ancestral hall."
Jiang Datou's family wants to donate surplus food to the ancestral hall?
Jiang Zhengxin was taken aback for a moment, then spoke earnestly, "Good boy, I understand what you mean, but your family's life is also very tight. To do good deeds, you have to live a good life. If your life is If you don't understand it clearly and just think about helping others, that's not called doing good deeds, it's called being irresponsible for your own family."
"I know that uncle is concerned about my family's affairs, but don't worry, my family has been doing better recently."
Jiang Datou was a little excited when he mentioned this matter, "Just last month, I went to the county town to buy medicine for my wife. I took the person there and asked the doctor to take a good look. After the doctor looked at this person, he said It's much better. If you take good care of him from now on, as long as nothing serious happens and you drink two more decoctions, this person will become almost like an ordinary person in the future."
"It's not that my wife is doing all the housework these days, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. I can also help out in the fields to do some odd jobs these days, and I don't need to do anything in the vegetable fields." Never mind. When I have free time, I can go to the mountains to cut some firewood and dry it, and I can sell the dried wood to the town to make some money to supplement my income."
"I don't know if it's because my wife is almost recovered from her illness. My mother is very happy. In the past few days, she has said that she feels relaxed and energetic. She eats more food than before, and she doesn't even need to drink so much soup. too much."
"Doctor Yang came to see me and said that my mother's illness is getting worse and worse because of worry. Now my mother's illness is better. My mother is happy and she will naturally get better. He also said that if If I take good care of myself, I will probably be able to get out of bed and move around in the future. Although I won’t be able to do heavy work, I will still be able to take care of myself..."
Jiang Zhengxin nodded repeatedly, "This is really a good thing."
In the village, he did hear that Jiang Datou's wife's illness was getting better, but he didn't expect it to be so much better.
From now on, both husband and wife can work, and they don't have to drink those expensive medicines. Life will indeed be better.
No wonder Jiang Datou said that he would donate the surplus food at home. After all, he felt that he had received favors from the village, and when his life was better, he would repay the favor to the village.
The descendants of Jiangjiacun...
Jiang Zhengxin thought for a while and said, "Well, if you want to donate the food, you can donate 30% of it. It will not only express your feelings, but also leave some for the family in case of emergencies."
To put it bluntly, it can only be said that the life of Jiang Datou's family has just started to improve. Things are unpredictable, and the family's foundation cannot be too weak to withstand the wind and rain.
Jiang Datou also thought for a while and then nodded, "Okay, listen to Uncle Lizheng, I'll go home and carry the food."
"I'll go with you." Jiang Zhengxin raised his feet.
Everyone in the village must also know that the young people in Jiangjia Village are grateful for their kindness!
----
The search for apprentices and permanent workers in the porcelain kiln is going very smoothly.
Since the current business of the porcelain kiln is still limited, and it is the first time for Zhu Yongwu to bring apprentices here, he first brought two apprentices and hired a long-term worker to do odd jobs.
For the rest, wait until Zhu Yongwu is proficient here and the apprentices are almost ready, and then recruit new apprentices.
Jiang Michia purchased new glazes and pigments for the porcelain kiln and drew some new patterns because Zhao Ji asked the porcelain kiln to make sets of tea cups and cups.
After all, they are from folk porcelain kilns. The price is limited, and the exquisiteness of workmanship is not as good as that of official kilns. Moreover, for Zhu Yongwu, his painting and coloring skills are also limited.
Therefore, when Jiang Michia draws the pattern, he uses simple lines and rough and bold painting methods, simply splashing ink, but also uses color matching to strive to reflect a certain degree of refinement and delicacy in the rough pattern.
Jiang Michia still draws Qiu Ji’s puppet designs on a monthly basis and sends them to Qiu Ji.
The master carpenter is already familiar with Jiang Michia's painting method and the charm of the puppets she wants to embody. She no longer needs to rely on clay puppets to compare the carvings, but can carve the corresponding puppets just by looking at the pictures. Jiang Michia is also much more relaxed here. , just draw the pattern carefully, no need to work hard to make clay puppets.
Overall, Jiang Michia is much more relaxed here.
But Jiang Maihua was a little disappointed.
Because Jiang Michia no longer makes clay dolls, she can no longer play with the clay, nor can she legitimately ask Song Jingyun for kittens and puppies made of clay.
