Chapter 238 This firewood kiln is not a brush firewood kiln (please recommend, ask for a monthly ticket)
With Lin Yushan's voice, "The banquet has begun", the back kitchen began to serve dishes like flowing water!

"Grandma, this is a dish I cooked for you, try it!"

Lin Mu put these dishes one by one into the bowl in front of grandma like offering a treasure.

Originally, Lin Mu's grandma, Liu Xiuqin, was not in good health, but this time, as long as she wanted to celebrate her birthday.

After Lin Mu came back, he checked Liu Xiuqin's body and found that grandma had hurt the source!
When she was young, Liu Xiuqin traveled all over the world with Lin Yuefeng, and gave birth to three sons for him. He became sick from overwork and his bones were hollowed out!
However, these were not considered difficult in front of Lin Mu. After a few stitches, Liu Xiuqin felt her body warm, as if a wave of heat rose from her spine!
Seeing that Liu Xiuqin became more and more energetic, only the family members knew that Lin Mu's medical skills were really as good as in the report!
Liu Xiuqin couldn't close her eyes with joy as she watched her grandson pick up vegetables for her!
Lin Yuefeng looked at this happy scene, and said with a smile, "Haha, Xiao Mu is really amazing now, why does Grandpa feel that you can do everything, now, you can even cook so well."

Lin Manshan on the side was full of oil and said, "Father, you don't know that these dishes are the dishes of the Manchu Banquet, and only the emperor and ministers could eat them back then!"

Lin Mu's second uncle, Lin Zhengshan, looked shocked, "What, this is the Man-Han Banquet, my God, our Xiaomu is so good, he can even cook the Man-Han Banquet!"

Lin Mu smiled at his second uncle, and said, "Don't listen to my uncle's nonsense, what about the Manchu banquet, just treat it as a home-cooked meal!"

Lin Mu's second uncle Lin Zhengshan's woodcarving skills are well-known throughout the county.

When he was young, Lin Mu learned woodcarving from his second uncle. However, at that time, Lin Mu's talent was mediocre, so he just learned the basics!
Now Lin Mu's level can put him, the second uncle, beyond the sky!
After the birthday feast, the villagers consciously packed up the leftovers, and the remaining group of women started packing together!

Lin Yushan quietly pulled Lin Mu outside, lit a cigarette, and handed Lin Mu one!
Lin Mu waved his hand, and Lin Yushan suddenly understood, smiled wryly, and said, "I'm used to it, okay, it's a good habit not to smoke!"

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Lin Yushan said, "Your cousin asked you to help, what do you think?"

Lin Mu said decisively, "If you ask me to help, I will help. If you don't want me to help, I will not help!"

A satisfied smile flashed across the corner of Lin Yushan's mouth, he coughed lightly, and said, "They are all relatives, since they have already opened their mouths, we can't do too much, you follow along, what can you do?" Please help as much as you can, after all, it's your mother's family!"

After smoking the cigarette, Lin Yushan patted Lin Mu on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, don't think about my thoughts, your mother is the most important thing!"

Lin Mu nodded slightly, looked at his father's back, and showed a relieved smile!
In the afternoon, Lin Mu took Zhang Wei to Dehua County in Lu Wenlong's car!
"Xiao Mu is here, come in quickly, come in quickly!"

Uncle Lu Zhengqing was standing at the gate of the porcelain factory, seeing Lin Mu coming out, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes!
Lin Mu hurried forward and said, "Uncle, you are too polite!"

Lu Zhengqing took Lin Mu's hand and said with a smile, "Oh, you are different now, you are a big star, and uncle is happy for you too. Come, come in and talk, who is this?"

Seeing Zhang Wei following down, Lu Zhengqing asked curiously.

"This is my good brother, Zhang Wei, who specially came back with me this time to celebrate grandma's birthday!"

Although Zhang Wei is now Lin Mu's assistant, Lin Mu never regarded him as his assistant, nor did he follow the assistant's introduction.

In fact, Zhang Wei's appointment as Lin Mu's assistant also fulfilled an agreement they made back then!
At the beginning, Zhang Wei's talent was not very good, so he was always at the bottom of the class.

After Zhang Wei got drunk, he held Lin Mu's neck and said, "Wood, if you become a horn in the future, my brother will be your follower, and from now on, my brother will rely on you!"

Lin Mu also drank a lot at the time, patted his chest, and recognized it!

However, after sobering up from the wine, the two of them seemed to have forgotten about it!
As a result, after Lin Mu got angry, he found Zhang Wei and asked him if he would like to follow him, Zhang Wei was very happy at that time.

"I knew you boy would never forget me. Back then, my buddy swore that I will be with you for the rest of my life!"

Lu Zhengqing smiled slightly and said, "Okay, Zhang Wei, come on, come in and sit together!"

Lin Mu and Zhang Wei followed their father and son to their office.

Seeing Lu Zhengqing who was so busy, Lin Mu couldn't help feeling emotional!
In the past, every time I followed my mother to my grandfather's house, my uncle never got up from the sofa, and his eyes never stayed on me!
Taking the teacup handed over by Lu Zhengqing, Lin Mu took a sip and said, "Uncle, if you need my help, just tell me!"

Seeing Lin Mu so happy, Lu Zhengqing felt a lot more relaxed!
To be honest, Lu Zhengqing really regretted his nephew.

If I knew this nephew was so promising, I shouldn't be so arrogant before.

It's good now, bowing your head to beg your nephew, after all, you can't hold your head up!

Zhang Wei stood up with a smile, and said to Lu Wenlong, "Cousin Wenlong, I have never seen how to burn porcelain, otherwise, you will take me around!"

Lu Wenlong glanced at his father, stood up with a smile, and said, "Come on, then I'll show you. Actually, this porcelain..."

Zhang Wei winked at Lin Mu, and Lin Mu was also amused.

Seeing Zhang Wei leave, Lu Zhengqing also felt a burst of relief, sighed, and said, "Xiao Mu, uncle, there is nothing we can do. In the past two years, due to the large amount of capital investment in Dehua's porcelain factory, those small All the porcelain factories have been annexed, and only our old medium-sized porcelain factories can barely survive, but this is not the way."

Listening to Lu Zhengqing's complaint, Lin Mu pondered for a moment, and asked, "Uncle, what should I do?"

Lu Zhengqing looked at Lin Mu and said, "It would be great if you can invest a sum of money in the porcelain factory. If you don't want to invest, then this money is considered to be borrowed from you by uncle!"

Seeing Lu Zhengqing's tangled face, Lin Mu also felt a little uncomfortable!
Although the grandfather's family is quite snobbish, they didn't really do such unforgivable things!
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Okay, uncle said the number, I'll send someone to send the money right away, it's my investment!"

Lin Mu is no longer considered to be wealthy. With the dividends from the song alone, Lin Mu now has more than a dozen small things in his hands, and with the addition of 1% of Kuaidou Group's shares, Lin Mu is definitely an invisible rich man now!

Originally, Lu Zhengqing only wanted to borrow 1000 million from Lin Mu to buy more advanced equipment, and for this Beaulieu Pillar, he also invited a skilled porcelain worker to come out of the mountain!

However, Lin Mu swiped his pen, and the 5000 million yuan was quickly credited to Lu Zhengqing's account!

Seeing his nephew spending money like dirt, Lu Zhengqing couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion!

My own porcelain factory has been working for decades, but my nephew can't make as much money in less than a year!

After receiving the money and signing the investment agreement, Lu Zhengqing's heart was relieved, and he became more relaxed in speaking!

"Xiaomu, let's go and see the operation of our porcelain factory!"

Now, with Lin Mu's [-]% stake in this porcelain factory, it can be regarded as a major shareholder!
From a distance, I saw a large group of people gathered together, I don't know what they are doing!
Seeing Lin Mu's curious eyes, Lu Zhengqing said with a smile, "You came just in time. You are preparing to burn a batch of porcelain this afternoon, and the kiln will start soon!"

Lin Mu's eyes lit up slightly, and he followed Lu Zhengqing over!
In front of a tall shed, after walking in, there is an unknown amount of firewood stacked on one side, and on the other side is a strangely shaped brick kiln. A group of people are constantly coming in and out!
Seeing Lin Mu approaching, Zhang Wei walked over with a smile, and said, "Wood, hey, I know how this porcelain came out. I always thought it was a hole dug in the mountains. , and then fired, unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a brick kiln, I have learned a lot!"

Lu Zhengqing said with a smile, "What you said was the earliest method of firing porcelain. Now most of the brick kilns are egg-shaped kilns in Dejing Town."

Lin Mu looked at the kiln mouth in front of him, which looked like a half duck egg lying flat on the ground. The kiln door at the front was high and wide, gradually shrinking towards the kiln tail. The unique feature was that the chimney at the kiln tail was as high as the kiln length.

Lin Mu looked at it curiously, and then asked, "Uncle, is this kiln for firewood?"

Lu Zhengqing nodded, and said, "Yes, this is the most primitive way of firing porcelain in China, the firewood kiln!"

When Zhang Wei heard the word "Chai Kiln", he couldn't help coming over and said, "Chai Kiln, I know, is one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty!"

Lin Mu shook his head slightly, and said, "Although Chai Kiln has its name, there is no kiln site and no actual objects, so it is not considered one of the five famous kilns. These five famous kilns are Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, and Ge Kiln. , Ding Kiln and Jun Kiln."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei also scratched his head in embarrassment, wanting to show off his knowledge, but it turned out to be crooked!

Lu Zhengqing laughed, and said, "The firewood kiln I'm talking about is not the same thing as the firewood kiln you're talking about. The firewood kiln I'm talking about literally means the mouth of a firewood kiln!"

Lin Mu and Zhang Wei were all stunned when they heard the words!
The mouth of the firewood kiln is called a firewood kiln, and there is nothing wrong with it!
Outside the kiln mouth, there are countless pieces of porcelain embryos, all of which are ready to be transported in and fired!

Seeing so many porcelains, Lin Mu asked curiously, "Uncle, are all these porcelains made by our factory? Why do I think some people don't look like people from the factory!"

Lu Zhengqing smiled slightly and said, "Look at the firewood on this wall, guess how heavy it is?"

Both Lin Mu and Zhang Wei looked at the pile of firewood several meters high.

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "This should be at least three to five tons!"

Lin Mu shook his head and said, "It's definitely not just three or five tons, but at least ten tons!"

Lu Zhengqing nodded slightly, and said, "Xiao Mu guessed right, ten tons of wood!"

Lu Zhengqing walked to the side of the pile of firewood, picked up a piece of firewood that was as long as an adult's arm, and handed it to Lin Mu!
Lin Mu took it, put it in his hand, squeezed it, and felt that the wood was very sticky, and exuded a strong pine fragrance!
"Uncle, this is pine wood!"

Lin Mu asked curiously!
Lu Zhengqing nodded and said, "It can be seen from this, yes, this is masson pine wood, one of the best woods fired in wood kilns, it is oily, high temperature, and lasts for a long time, so that it can be more A good one burns out the charm of the porcelain!"

Looking at the ten tons of masson pine wood, Lu Zhengqing said with a smile, "These ten tons of wood are fired once in the kiln, so every time we want to fire the kiln, the colleagues around will take the kiln that they have already made. Porcelain embryos are sent here and fired together, this is called a joint kiln!"

Zhang Wei suddenly realized and nodded, and said, "Oh, it turns out that kiln kilns also have joint kilns, just like carpooling!"

Lu Zhengqing pointed to a plate of white tea bowls on the table, and said, "Look, this is the plain body of white porcelain. Does it look rough and not round at all, but after being fired, it will become It's getting pretty!"

Lin Mu watched the master of the kiln put the plain porcelain bodies one by one into a round thing like a steamed bun cage, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, what is this?"

"Ah, this is called a sagger. Since we are a firewood kiln, we need to put all the plain tires in it, so as not to be stained by the ashes after the firewood is burned, which will cause the shape of the vessel to be unattractive. Of course, there are also some porcelains. Don't even put it in!"

Lu Zhengqing took a look, and picked up a small teapot from the table not far away.

There are very natural traces of brown on the appearance of this small teapot!

"Look at this teapot, it was put directly into the firewood kiln without any protection. During the firing process, the ashes fell on the plain body, forming this natural flowing ash glaze. This is actually the 2000 Many years ago, the most primitive kind of porcelain was fired into shape, but some people like this kind of thing!"

Before the second batch of saggers were ready, Lu Zhengqing led Lin Mu and Zhang Wei, who were full of curiosity, into the firewood kiln!
All the curved inner walls and the brick surfaces inside have been fired into a black glazed shape, which looks very beautiful.

Lu Zhengqing said, "This kind of wood kiln is very rare now, especially in our Dehua, there are only a few firewood kilns that have been passed down for decades!"

In fact, there was nothing to see inside the firewood kiln, and soon, the three of them walked out!
Beside the kiln entrance, there were a few bricks. Lin Mu picked them up curiously. He felt that these bricks were quite different from the usual bricks!

This kind of brick is about half thinner than the red bricks seen in ordinary times, but the texture is very strong.

The shape of this brick is also very strange, it turned out to be a small trapezoid!
Zhang Wei next to him looked curiously, and said, "This brick looks so strange!"

Lin Mu thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing strange, we went in and looked at it just now, this firewood kiln is a dome-shaped curved building, there is no support point inside, and it can only rely on bricks and bricks. The structure is used as a support, so the shape must be like this, and it must not be too thick, otherwise, the self-weight will be too large!"

Lu Wenlong on the side couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and said, "Xiao Mu is really powerful, and he explained the mystery in one word. I wondered for many years, but I didn't understand the use of this brick!"

Lu Zhengqing said with a smile, "Yes, what Xiaomu said is right, this firewood kiln was built by your grandfather himself, and each brick was customized with a special size. Now I want to build it Such a firewood kiln, without four or five million yuan, can’t get down at all!”

The second batch of saggers has been installed, and the workers transported the saggers into the kiln one by one.

After all the porcelain that needs to be fired has been shipped in, the workers will start to seal the kiln!

Lin Mu asked, "Uncle, how long will this kiln be fired?"

"For a full 24 hours, after burning, it will be left to dry for another three days!"

Lin Mu nodded slightly, looking at this firewood kiln, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes!
In his life, he has never seen what it looks like when porcelain is taken out of the kiln.

When the time comes, you must come and take a good look!

I came to my grandfather's house with my uncle, and saw my grandfather with gray hair.

Grandpa also showed a long-lost smile when he saw Lin Mu. For this more and more capable grandson, he also felt a world away!
After eating, Lin Mu said goodbye to Zhang Wei and left, and agreed to come to watch the opening of the kiln in four days!
