Chapter 133 Bai Family Porcelain Kiln

In the early morning of the next day, the morning sun first shone on the earth, and the mist floating on the river surface and the green shade gradually dissipated. It was a rare sunny day in the rainy season.

Bai Susu and Xiao Tong arrived at the entrance of Su's house very early in the car, picked up Su Chen, and went to visit the Porcelain Kiln Manor of the Bai family outside the city together.

The current situation in the Bai family is unclear. Bai Susu seems to have sensed the sign that "the rain is coming and the wind is coming", and she also pays special attention to the porcelain making at home, but she has no other good way to break the situation at the moment, because the secret recipe of white porcelain may be leaked. Well, the Bai family is unable to produce high-quality fine porcelain in terms of celadon research and development, so if they compete with the Ding family, they will definitely be weaker.

Bai Susu looked forward to Su Chen's continued use of his talent and learning, and he could also put forward unique opinions on porcelain making, which might be helpful to the Bai family's porcelain manufacturing.

In the eyes of the Bai family, such behavior is already nonsense, because making porcelain is a professional job of craftsmen, but it is definitely not something that scholars can understand. Even if Su Chen knows how to write lyrics and medical skills, how deep can his understanding of porcelain be?

But Bai Susu had the mentality of giving it a try, and had a kind of expectation for Su Chen, hoping that he could bring surprises again.

The porcelain kiln of the Bai family was built forty miles southeast of Runzhou City, which is the junction of Danyang County and Runzhou Prefecture. The terrain here is mostly low mountains and hills, rich in mineral resources, and it is close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Hexi River, Jiuzhou Quhe River, etc., whether it is ore porcelain clay mining, or water transportation, water sources, etc., are very convenient.Therefore, the Bai family had been operating here decades ago, acquired the mining and use rights of the mountains with a radius of ten miles, and opened a white porcelain kiln to manufacture porcelain.

Along the way, Su Chen was dizzy from being shaken by the car, he was not used to this kind of carriage, because the wheels were made of wood, without airbags and rubber rings to cushion, and the road was potholed, extremely bumpy, it would be good if he didn't get motion sickness.

"The Bai Family Manor is in front of you, and the family's white porcelain kiln is on it!" Bai Susu's crisp voice sounded, reminding Su Chen that he was about to arrive.

Xiaotong curled her lips aside, thinking to herself: In Runzhou City, there are many men who are looking forward to meeting their young ladies, and then sharing a car together for an outing in the city!He was fine, he fell asleep shortly after getting in the car, and slept for more than an hour, completely lacking the excitement and happiness of riding in the car with a big beauty.

Su Chen just woke up, lifted the curtain of the car, and with sleepy eyes, he saw in front of him a group of buildings that resembled a castle manor, surrounded by mountains and rivers, standing at the foot of the mountain, separated by gates and fences and ditches, strictly guarding outsiders from approaching the Bai family. Burning kiln.

The accompanying guards shouted to the guards at the gate of the manor, telling them that Miss Bai Susu was coming, and asked them to put down the suspension bridge and open the gate of the village.

Moments later, the gate of the village opened and the suspension bridge was lowered. Su Chen and Bai Susu entered the Bai family's porcelain manor by car.

"It's finally here, I'm going to throw up if I sit down again." Su Chen couldn't wait to get out of the car, breathed the fresh air outside, stretched his waist, and felt much better.

Bai Susu gave him a sideways look, and there was nothing to be picky about his bluntness, anyway, after getting along with her, she already understood that this Su Chen was not quite the same as the other talented scholars who got along with him before.

Su Chen turned around, seeing Bai Susu staring at him intently, he was a little dazed, and asked, "What's the matter, why are you staring at me like this?"

If it were any other woman who was asked this question, she would definitely blush and shy, and then look away, her heart pounding wildly.

But Bai Susu didn't seem to have these things. She looked calm and didn't shift her eyes. She just smiled lightly and said, "You are a weird person, not at all like those talented people outside."

"You're also a weirdo, not like an ordinary lady."

When Bai Susu heard the words, she wasn't annoyed in the slightest, she smiled, looked away and said, "Everyone!"

Maybe it's because Su Chen doesn't behave like an ordinary talented person, but Bai Susu can let go of him when getting along with him, and she often smiles, and won't feel any negative psychology because she is a businesswoman and often shows up in public; Pretend to be a well-educated, gentle and virtuous lady, but to be the true self without concealing it.

"Let's go, Third Uncle and Manager Xu are waiting for us."

Bai Susu stepped forward, followed by Su Chen and Xiao Tong, and met Bai Shouzhi and Xu Guanshi who were coming towards them.

Bai Shouzhi smiled heartily and said, "Susu, why did you come to inspect suddenly today?"

Bai Susu said softly, "Third Uncle, I'll bring Mr. Su over to have a look at the Bai family's porcelain kiln, let him observe it, and see if he can give some suggestions."

Although Bai Shouzhi has the word "wisdom", his IQ is not high, he has developed limbs and a simple mind; he is a rough person, let him guard the manor here, practice martial arts to guard and watch, and he is weaker in making decisions with his brain.

"This helpless scholar, does he know anything about porcelain work?" Bai Shouzhi spoke straightforwardly, and didn't know how to beat around the bush.

Su Chen looked at the burly Bai Shouzhi, with a height of 1.9 meters. If his head was shaved, he would look a lot like Lu Zhishen who pulled out willows upside down.

The names all have a hint of wisdom, and the carefree personality and burly figure seem to be similar, Su Chen thought about it indiscriminately.

Bai Susu rescued Su Chen and said, "Third Uncle, you can't be judged by appearance. This Mr. Su is not only proficient in medical skills, can write poetry, but also understands the principles of investigating things. He proposed the latest soap and spirits that the family will produce. Yes; the white porcelain recipe of our Bai family has probably been leaked, and the Ding family is about to make a move. At this time, inviting Mr. Su to come over and study it might be of great help to us."

Su Chen was a little surprised when he heard Bai Susu praise him, he had never seen her praise him like this before, maybe she was putting a high hat on herself, and she would fool him into contributing later, we don't want to do that!

"It's just that I understand a little, just look around casually, there is no guarantee that it will be of great help!" Su Chen said a few words modestly.

"You scholar, why did you retreat before you read it?" Bai Shouzhi stared at him.

Bai Susu replied from the side: "He has such a temperament, he always likes to keep a low profile, doesn't talk too much, always leaves a way out for himself, and is stable and mature."

Bai Shouzhi shook his head and said, "Scholars have a lot of fun, Susu, then you can take him for a stroll, I won't get involved, and then take the guards to inspect the manor to see if there are any petty people coming in to steal. Or sabotage!"

Bai Susu nodded, and she also knew the nature of her third uncle, who couldn't relax or sit still, was particularly keen on looking after the house, and went to visit the mountains for nothing, which had long been commonplace, and it was no surprise.

Su Chen watched Bai Shouzhi's figure go away, stood in the same place and sighed, "If your third uncle becomes a monk one day, I will meet you with the dharma name, and I will call him Bai Zhishen!"

Bai Susu gave him a white look, and said angrily, "It's good, what are you doing as a monk, don't curse my elders."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the kiln firing workshop." Bai Susu didn't delay any longer, and let Guanshi Xu lead the way, and they went to inspect the kiln openings and workshops together.

There are houses and warehouses standing on the mountainside, row upon row, with storage warehouses, material warehouses, etc. On the left side is a row of kiln mouths, and there are large straight chimneys emitting billowing smoke, which are calcining ceramic soil for processing forging.

Manager Xu explained to Su Chen: "Our artisans here know their roots, almost all of them are long-term workers employed by the Bai family. They have worked in the Bai family for decades, and even two or three generations of grandparents have been employed by the Bai family. The Bai family is regarded as the main family."

Su Chen watched while walking, and was also listening to Manager Xu's eloquent explanation. After a while, he suggested: "I want to go inside a kiln and have a look at the firing site, and see what tools the craftsmen use to forge and burn. system, is there no problem?"

"But it's too hot inside, and there's a lot of dust..." Manager Xu worried that scholars would not be able to bear the hardship.

Su Chen shook his head and said, "If you don't enter the work site, what problems can you find!"

Manager Xu looked at Bai Susu in embarrassment, the latter nodded, agreed, and decided to accompany him into the brothel.
