The son crosses every night

Time flies by, after early summer, then midsummer, and finally early autumn.

Tang Hua put on a thin jacket, and frost could be seen on the withered grass outside.

After a busy summer, their porcelain kiln was finally built. They tried the kiln once, and the temperature was enough, but the firing was uneven.Now that their porcelain blanks have been dried, they will start to apply glaze today, and then put them into the kiln for firing.

After Tang Hua finished his meal, he and Jiang Pingyuan rushed to the other side of the egg kiln.

Yuan Jin had already brought his apprentices to get busy. There were people coming and going by the egg kiln, moving porcelain blanks, holding coal, and checking the kiln. Everyone was busy.

Tang Hua attached great importance to this opening of the furnace. He was afraid that he would be in a hurry when firing the porcelain for the first time, so he asked Ruan Shijie for advice on how to deal with personnel matters.

Ruan Shijie taught him to divide the work in advance, assigning a person to specialize, and whoever messed up should be held accountable, so that the subordinates would not blame each other.

Tang Hua did as he said, and at this time he was really busy but not chaotic.

"Master Yuan." Tang Hua walked into the porcelain shed and asked Yuan Jin, who was sitting on a small wooden chair and applying glaze, "How is it? Are you all ready?"

"My lord." Yuan Jin hurriedly got up and saluted, "The response went well, after I finish applying these glazes, it's time to go into the furnace in a while."

Tang Hua nodded, and stood aside with Jiang Pingyuan to watch his movements.

Yuan Jin's porcelain making skills are not good, they didn't plan to fire any complicated glazes when they fired porcelain, they just burned Langhong, solid color, a total of about [-] pieces, including cups, bowls, bottles and jars.

Glazing is also simple, as soon as the porcelain body is dipped in the glaze, it is evenly dipped.

The glaze had been adjusted earlier and placed in a pottery basin. According to Tang Hua's instructions, the glaze mixed with water was specially stirred for an hour, and then sifted through a fine sieve to make the glaze as fine and oily as a paste.

When Jiang Pingyuan ordered people to do these steps, he deliberately avoided Yuan Jin. He didn't know what kind of glaze was in the basin. When the glaze was first applied, he quietly ran it over with his hands and put it on his nose to smell it for a long time, but he still didn't smell it. What are these, I have to rest my mind to explore.

At this time, Tanghua and Jiang Pingyuan were watching from the side, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, and honestly dipped the glaze one by one.

Langhong is a high-temperature glaze, which is glazed directly on the clay body, and the glaze color and the porcelain body are integrated into one when sent to the furnace for firing.

But within an hour, all the porcelain blanks were glazed, put into pottery boxes one by one, and carefully carried by several apprentices into the egg kiln.

Yuan Jin wiped his sweat, "My lord, the boxes are all put away, but the furnace can be sealed and turned on.

Tang Hua nodded, and said solemnly: "Let's begin."

Yuan Jin yelled out in a drawn-out voice: "Seal the furnace—turn it on—"

The apprentices immediately and neatly moved mud bricks to block the kiln mouth, and blocked the kiln gap with yellow mud.

In addition, the person who lit the fire had laid coals early, and as the flint hit, the sparks fell on the dry grass, and the bright flame burst into flames.

A kiln of porcelain needs to be fired for four or five hours, from now to night.

After the fire started, the coals gradually turned red.

The two apprentices were holding back their strength to blow the wind, their faces were flushed, and hot sweat rolled down.

Tang Hua said: "The wind can't stop. When you're tired, take turns and try to keep the wind blowing."

Jiang Pingyuan nodded, "I have told them to divide the six into three groups, and with Yu Yi and Ningwei added, the four groups should be able to handle it."

Tang Hua nodded.

Yuan Jin used firewood to burn porcelain before, and it is a luxury to be able to use charcoal to burn it. This is the first time he has seen people burn directly with coal.

He didn't understand where the young master got so many ideas, he had been making porcelain for half his life, and this was the first time he heard of these new things.

Tang Hua turned his head, "Master Yuan, I trouble you to watch more today."

"Should be." Yuan Jin nodded hurriedly, "Young master, don't worry, I will stay here and never leave."

Tanghua and Jiang Pingyuan made a tour, then went back to study, and came to Tuojiang Pingyuan, "Pingyuan, please sit in charge."

Jiang Pingyuan responded gently: "I know, we eat here all our meals."

Tang Hua: "At noon, I'll send someone to deliver food."

While they were talking, smoke was coming out of the chimney, which was particularly obvious against the yellow leaves and blue sky.

Tang Hua looked at the smoke and murmured: "It's started to burn, and I don't know how many finished products we can get tomorrow."

Jiang Pingyuan comforted him, "If there are few burnt pieces, we can burn them again in two days."

Tang Hua couldn't get into the book all day long, and it was still the same when he was studying with Ruan Shijie at night.

He had already learned the content of the first year of high school, and the course became much more difficult at once. Seeing his appearance, Ruan Shijie knocked on his table and asked, "Why have you been distracted?"

"I'm sorry." Tang Hua hurriedly apologized, then turned around and said, "Sir, we started firing porcelain today."

"Huh? Good thing." Ruan Shi laughed, "No wonder you're restless, afraid that you won't be able to make successful porcelain?"

"Yeah." Tang Hua nodded, with some apprehension and expectation on his face, "We have spent nearly 500 taels before, if we can't burn it out, it doesn't matter if the money is lost, I don't know how to earn this money Give it back to Qianqu."

"Don't be nervous, if you really can't burn it, you can place an order here and ask someone to burn a box and take it back to sell."

"Ah? Can it still be like this?" Tang Hua widened his eyes, "Can this be done?"

"Why not? When the time comes, you will cover it up with your subordinates and say that you fired the porcelain, so who else can find out?"

Jiang Pingyuan managed Tanghua's porcelain kiln. If he wanted to fake it, no one would be able to find out. He turned around, looked at Ruan Shijie, and asked, "Sir, didn't you have this idea a long time ago?"

Ruan Shijie smiled, "Guess?"

When Tanghua saw him like this, he knew that his guess was probably true, so he couldn't help but murmured: "No wonder you asked me to build a porcelain kiln first! The porcelain blanks are placed in a box, and I will let them burn quietly. I don't even know what's inside."

Ruan Shi explained with a smile: "To save the emergency but not to save the poor, it would be a bad idea to ask you to take the porcelain back with you. If you take the technology back, let people think about it for a while. In the future, the money will continue to come in hand. No one can find out the clue."

"Yeah!" Tang Hua's confidence soared, "If it doesn't work this time, I'll let them try a few more times, thank you sir!"

"You're welcome." Ruan Shijie tapped his head lightly, "Okay, come back to your senses, should you study hard this time?"

Tang Hua nodded in embarrassment, and Ruan Shijie began to give him a lecture.

Tanghua can now stay from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock, which is a lot longer, but it is not enough. After one lecture and one exercise, the time will be over.

Ruan Shijie encouraged: "I will take you out to play after you finish studying the content of the first year of high school."

Tang Hua's eyes lit up, "Sir, I will finish the content of the first year of high school in two chapters!"

"Well, where do you want to go?"

Tang Hua's cheeks were slightly red, "Didn't you receive an invitation the day before yesterday? Can I go to that dinner with you?"

Ruan Shijie was taken aback, "Why did you suddenly think of going there?"

There was expectation in Tanghua's black and white eyes, "I just thought of it suddenly. Sir, isn't it suitable?"

The female or male companions brought on such occasions are either their own juniors, or lovers, or even social butterflies invited from outside, and they will never bring anyone casually.

Ruan Shijie and Tang Hua looked at each other, Tang Hua showed some confusion and anxiety on his face, he was hesitating to change his words.

"That's not true." Ruan Shijie smiled and said, "It's the old rule, if you get an average score of 85 or more on the freshman paper, you'll be taken there."

Tang Hua was eager to try, "Then it's a deal! Hi-five as proof!"

Ruan Shijie stretched out his palm and touched him lightly, "It's settled."

With Ruan Shijie's promise, Tang Hua quickly withdrew his mind from the porcelain kiln and devoted himself to his studies.

After finally finishing his studies, he stretched himself, "Sir, I'm going back first, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

When Tanghua went back, he opened the door to look. The yard was quiet, and Jiang Pingyuan hadn't come back yet, so he was probably still staying at the kiln entrance.

Tang Hua was a little anxious and hesitated whether to go to him. He wandered in the yard for a while before seeing Jiang Pingyuan coming in with charcoal fire all over his body.

Jiang Pingyuan saw the dark lights in the yard, and Tang Hua just stood in the yard, frowning slightly, "Master, why don't you light a lantern?"

"The moon is so big today that you can see it without lighting a lantern."

"You can't see it, it's dark, be careful of snakes and insects."

Tanghua picked up the teapot from the table under the corridor, shook it to see that there was still water, and planned to pour him a cup of tea, "Why did you come back so late, haven't you boiled it yet?"

"It's finished burning, and the fire has been extinguished. I asked Yuan Jin to take his apprentices to watch over there. When it gets cold tomorrow morning, open the furnace for inspection."

Tang Hua nodded, "Apprentices have worked hard these days. After the furnace is opened tomorrow, depending on the situation, each person will be given a tael of silver as a reward."

Jiang Pingyuan said: "Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. These apprentices are really good."

"As for Yuan Jin, his reward is still as agreed before. I don't think his craftsmanship is very successful. When the porcelain in this kiln is sold, if you have enough money, go to the big kiln in the south to see if you can hire a master with good craftsmanship."

Jiang Pingyuan should go down.

Tang Hua slapped his head, feeling a little annoyed, "You've been tired all day, I'll talk to you about this tomorrow, you take a rest first, I'll ask the kitchen to bring you hot water."

"I'm afraid there will be no hot water at this time, so I'll take some cold water to deal with it."

"How can I wash in cold water in this weather? If there is no hot water, I will give them a few rewards to burn it."

After Tang Hua finished speaking, he opened the courtyard door and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Pingyuan hurriedly followed behind and shouted, "My lord, please carry a lantern."

In the end, Jiang Pingyuan and Tang Hua went to the kitchen to ask for hot water.

The long-time worker slept in a small room outside the kitchen. When he saw Tang Hua coming, he didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately lit a fire to boil water.

Tang Hua gave him twenty Wen, "When it's finished, send it to our yard."

The long-term worker hurriedly kowtowed in response.

Back in the yard, Jiang Pingyuan pushed Tang Hua, "Sir, don't follow me, go to bed first."

Tang Hua smiled: "I'm waiting for the kiln to open tomorrow, so I can't sleep."

Jiang Pingyuan couldn't argue, and pushed him into the room, "Go and rest if you can't sleep, don't stay here."

Tang Hua had no choice but to nod, thought about it and said: "I wrote a letter to Qian Qu earlier, and I don't know if he will come tomorrow."

Jiang Pingyuan helped him make the bed, and said, "Even if we don't make it in time, it's still the same if we show him the baked porcelain. Don't dawdle, son, go to bed quickly."

Tang Hua couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to take off his outer clothes, climbed onto the bed and pulled Bosi up to his chin, "I'm asleep, good night."

Jiang Pingyuan didn't know where he learned the greeting, so he responded in a low voice, helped him blow out the candles, closed the door and went out.
