The son crosses every night

Jiang Pingyuan was really reliable, and on the second day, he called a few masters who could build brick kilns to check the terrain and discuss the construction of porcelain kilns.

The masters had never seen such a strange-looking porcelain kiln, but the drawings were at least understandable, and after Jiang Pingyuan's explanation, they understood it at all.

The wind was strong by the lake, Jiang Pingyuan and several people stood in front of the lake, their clothes were rattling, and everyone had to squint their eyes to look at the blueprint in front of them.

Jiang Pingyuan asked: "If such a porcelain kiln is to be built, how many masters are sure?"

One of Master Zhong said cautiously: "It can be built if it is really built according to the blueprint, but the kiln is such a matter that there is a slight difference and a thousand miles of error. We have no experience. If we accidentally build something wrong, the porcelain kiln will reach It may not be what you ask for."

"If you can't meet the requirements by then, can you still change it?"

Master Zhong hesitated, "I have never tried to build it and then modify it."

Several other masters also chimed in, "I'm afraid it's not as easy as building a new kiln after it's built."

"I haven't seen such a thing before, we still have to explore, even if we want to change it, it's not a big deal."

Jiang Pingyuan mused, "My drawings have strict length and height requirements. You all strictly follow these requirements to build. If the porcelain kiln built according to the requirements is not satisfactory, I don't blame everyone."

When the masters heard him let go, their hearts were a little moved.

Master Zhong took the lead and said, "Let's discuss it again. If it works, I'll call you back later."

"Okay." Jiang Pingyuan nodded, "Call me back before this afternoon."

Jiang Pingyuan now has money in his hands, and he paid a high price of 60 taels for building this porcelain kiln. Divide more than ten taels of silver.

It doesn't take much time to build a porcelain kiln. If you can win this business, you can make some money this year.

Master Zhong and several people got together to discuss and discuss, and finally decided to give it a try. If the final result is really not good, they will help to correct it as required.

Jiang Pingyuan was not surprised that they would agree to it. The matter was settled, and they began to buy bricks and stones to build a kiln.

Master Zhong said: "Twenty or thirty miles north of Ruchuan County, there is Gaojia Village. There is a brick-burning family in their village. The green bricks they burn are very good. We like to buy green bricks there when building houses here. Bricks, one brick and two copper plates, if you buy more, he will give you some, which is more cost-effective than buying elsewhere."

Jiang Pingyuan nodded and smiled and thanked, "Thank you, I'll ask. You know a lot of people, and I don't know if there are any good house builders in the county. Can you come and build a few thatched huts?"

Master Zhong asked, "What kind of thatched cottage do you want to build?"

"It's just an ordinary wooden house that can live in people. When the time comes, we have to have people come here to watch the porcelain kiln."

After hearing this, Master Zhong said: "If you build this kind of wooden house, any mason can build it. I know a few masons, all of whom are in the county town. I'll give you the address. You should be able to find out by asking around."

Jiang Pingyuan nodded and smiled, "Thank you very much."

Jiang Pingyuan started to work on the porcelain kiln, and Tang Hua sent Ning Wei and Yu Yi to help him.

"In this way, there will be no one available by your side." Jiang Pingyuan looked at Tang Hua disapprovingly: "Otherwise, let Yu Yi come and follow me, and Ning Wei will still serve you in front of you?"

Tang Hua smiled and waved his hands, "I'm not reading and writing every day, or I'm taking a walk outside. The two of them are in front of me, so I don't need them. Earlier, I let them run around the lake to kill time. It's better to stay idle. At your command."

Seeing his firm attitude, Jiang Pingyuan stopped objecting.

Time passed quickly after Tang Hua and the others got busy, and it was the end of June in a blink of an eye, and the weather was unbearably hot.

The porcelain master that Jiang Pingyuan wrote to invite finally arrived in a donkey cart during the dog days. Not only did he come, but he also brought a cart full of household items, everything from tools to mud.

Jiang Pingyuan brought this man to see Tang Hua. He was a man in his 30s, tall and thin, dressed in a short jacket, dressed like a poor man, rather slovenly.

Tang Hua saw him and asked, "Do you have any utensils you made yourself?"

Yuan Jin was a little nervous, nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, if you want to see it, I will go and get it."

Tang Hua smiled: "Excuse me."

Yuan Jin ran out to turn over his donkey cart, finally found his own porcelain bottle, held it in both hands and entered the room, and handed it to Tang Hua respectfully, "My lord, this is a water bottle made by a villain."

Tang Hua took the water bottle and looked it over carefully.

Yuan Jin's craftsmanship is not very good, but the water bottle he made is simple and elegant. It can be seen that he has put his heart into it, and there are some merits in holding it in his hand.

Tang Hua nodded secretly, he didn't expect to hire very good craftsmen, he was almost at this level.

"I don't know how many years you have been making porcelain, what kind of porcelain do you know?"

Yuan Jin said honestly: "My craft is handed down from my family. My family has fired porcelain for five or six generations, and now I can make white porcelain and celadon."

"That's all?"

Yuan Jin was a little ashamed, bowed his head and said: "For the time being, I know these two things. The porcelain firing skills are not passed on to the outside world, and there is no place to learn them if I want to. These two things are summed up by my family from generation to generation."

Tang Hua nodded, "What color porcelain is selling well now?"

"Emerald and snowy colors are easy to sell. Some are burned alone, and some are mixed with other colors." Yuan Jin said: "It depends on the individual's craftsmanship."

Tang Hua said: "You first make the blanks, and make more cups, bowls, plates, saucers, jugs, etc., try to make a set, and I will discuss the appropriate glaze after I have a look at the recipe."

Yuan Jin replied respectfully, "Yes."

Tang Hua smiled: "You should first see what kind of treatment you want, discuss it with Ping Yuan, and then see if you can buy porcelain clay here, if not, where is the best porcelain clay nearby, just tell them and let them buy it for you .”

Yuan Jin followed Jiang Pingyuan down with a grateful face.

In the evening, Jiang Pingyuan came to report.

Tang Hua asked, "What kind of treatment does he want?"

Jiang Pingyuan: "According to the method you gave, tell him that every six taels a month on weekdays, he will be given a tael of silver if he sells a set of porcelain, and there is no cap."

Tang Hua smiled: "Does he have any objections?"

Jiang Pingyuan shook his head, "This treatment is much better than when he was at home before. He might not earn 20 taels a year when he was at home."

Tanghua: "Have you made it clear to him that in the future you will live by the kiln and teach apprentices?"

Jiang Pingyuan nodded, "It's all said, and he has no objections."

Tang Hua put down a big stone in his heart, "In this way, we can buy people tomorrow, let them make billets while building the kiln, and then let Yuan Jin take a look at our egg-shaped kiln for any problems."

Jiang Pingyuan responded one by one.

Jiang Pingyuan moved very quickly, and in the morning of the second day, Ren Yazi brought a group of young people to the yard for Tanghua to choose.

Tang Hua had no experience, so he simply handed it over to Jiang Pingyuan and Yuan Jin, and asked them to pick out five or six people with ingenuity.

Jiang Pingyuan had a poisonous eye, so he quickly picked out six clever young people.

The wooden house by the lake hadn't been built yet, and Tang Hua was impatient to stuff people into his yard, so he simply asked He Rui to arrange for him to pick an empty house on the village to stuff people in.

He Rui has been with Tang Hua for so long, and he knows in his heart what kind of person this young man is, and he also knows that this young man's future is much better than he imagined before, so he dared not lose Tang Hua's face and hurriedly arranged for him good.

Several teenagers shared a room with each other, and Tanghua paid for food and clothing, and they were considered as borrowers in Zhuangzi.

There was finally some progress here, Tang Hua heaved a sigh of relief, and reported to Ruan Shijie that night: "Sir, we can make porcelain!"

"Congratulations." Ruan Shijie smiled and asked, "Have you decided what color porcelain you want to make?"

"I want to make Langyaohong cups and plates." Tang Hua looked up with clear eyes, "Sir, no one in our area can cook authentic Langyaohong, I want to try."

Tanghua learned chemistry, barely understood redox reactions, and understood how porcelain is colored.Lang Kiln Red Porcelain is expensive, low cost, and not difficult to make. If he can make it, he can not only pay back You Qianqu's money quickly, but also make a lot of money.

"Langyaohong? That's not bad. There are many bottles of Langyaohong, but the cups and plates are not so easy to control. You can start with the bottles first." Ruan Shijie said: "During the production process, remember to keep it secret .”

"Well, in two days, I'll ask Grandma to find a few reliable people to make copper oxide first." Tang Hua was enthusiastic, "No one around burns this, we just wait for it to be burnt and send it to the imperial capital for sale. "

"Which method is used to make copper oxide?"

Tang Hua didn't hesitate: "Just use the calcination method, put the copper powder on the coal and heat it, and do a few more oxidation processes, and you should be able to get qualified copper oxide."

"That's a good idea, be careful."

"Yeah!" After talking about this, Tang Hua said with eagerness on his face, "Sir, shall we continue to learn?"

Tang Hua has found a way to make money, and is currently very interested in junior high school textbooks, especially physics, chemistry, and biology.

Ruan Shijie nodded, "Sure, you do the Zhang quiz first, and I'll see how you've done in preview."

Without saying a word, Tang Hua took the small test paper and began to write.

Ruan Shijie looked at him. In summer, the air conditioner in the corner was quietly blowing cold air, and the sleeves of Yan Hua's black clothes were rolled up, revealing a section of white and thin arms.

At this time, the two arms were slightly tense, and the lines were constantly changing with his movements.

Ruan Shijie looked at him earnestly writing the quiz, as if time had returned to high school.

"Sir, it's finished."

Tang Hua's crisp voice brought Ruan Shijie back to his mind, and he took the small test paper, "Let me see."

Tang Hua's handwriting was neat and beautiful. Ruan Shijie glanced at the ten lines and found that he had done all the questions correctly and wrote the chemical formula very proficiently.

"Not bad." Ruan Shijie boasted, "I'll take you to do the experiment in two days."

"Sir, I want to do the potassium permanganate experiment."

Ruan Shijie warmed his voice: "Okay, let's go out to buy experimental equipment together in two days, and come back to take you to do the experiment."

Tang Hua nodded, he can stay here until 10:30, which is ample time.
