Chapter 240 Another set!
While Qiao Yun was thinking about the recipes, the ceramics fired by Zhao Ji Porcelain Workshop were sent to the palace one after another in boxes.

Wang Jinzhi unpacked the boxes one by one in her courtyard and checked them.An Yu and Fu Feng personally opened the box, carefully checked every bowl, saucer, cup, plate, etc., and registered them one by one after confirming that there were no defects.

"The flowers on this soup pot are so pretty!" An Yu was amazed while inspecting, "I've never seen such a beautiful tableware!"

"The porcelain shop that the lady found is really capable." Fu Feng followed Wang Jinzhi to serve the pen and ink every day, and also knew a lot of words. Now he is writing the booklet himself.

Wang Jinzhi smiled, and didn't say a word, but asked the maid to move the reclining chair made of rattan and put it on the porch, while basking in the sun, eating sugar and cheese while supervising their work.

Just as a group of people were in full swing, the woman at the door came to report.

"Ma'am, the lady is here."

Wang Jinzhi quickly stood up and went to the door to greet her.

"Eldest aunt." Wang Jinzhi folded her arms and stretched her body lightly, but was lifted up by the person who came to support her arms.

The eldest lady is naturally Mrs. Li from the eldest room.There was a friendly and dignified smile on her delicately made-up face: "How, are you still busy? Is there anything you don't understand?"

"It's okay, there's not as much preparation for the banquet as I imagined." Wang Jinzhi replied firmly, she helped Mrs. Li's arm, and the two of them entered the yard together: "I originally planned to follow the coming-of-age ceremony of several cousins." I decided to do it according to the specifications, but after thinking about it, my cousin and Guan are 20 years old, and I am only [-] years old. The specifications of the birthday party for people of these two ages should be different, so I thought, why don’t we just check the old rules? .”

Mrs. Li joked with a smile: "You are the oldest girl in our family, where are the old rules for you to check?"

"Indeed not." Wang Jinzhi stuck out her tongue playfully, "I just thought that some of the girls I've been friends with have grown up with me, and some have elder sisters at home, so I'll ask them. I compared the five surnames. The budget for the Jiji banquet held by the eldest daughters of the family has been determined."

"That's right." Mrs. Li nodded approvingly.

I can work hard to think of a solution by myself, instead of blindly asking others what to do without even trying.

It is worthy of being carefully taught by myself.

"As expected of the eldest daughter of our family." Mrs. Li finally chose a less boastful rhetoric.

"Thank you auntie for teaching me how to manage things all these years, otherwise how could I think of a way?" Wang Jinzhi chuckled.She helped Mrs. Li to the porch. The maid had already removed the wicker chair that was used to lean, and replaced it with two copper flat rosewood chairs and a small round table.

"Auntie, please sit down." Wang Jinzhi helped Mrs. Li sit down, then sat down on another chair.

Mrs. Li took the teacup handed by the maid, took a sip of tea, looked at the busy maids in the yard, and asked, "Is this the tableware you bought?"

"Yes." Wang Jinzhi nodded, "Because the mansion here in Luoyang has never held a banquet of this scale, and the tableware is not enough, so I went to Zhaoji Porcelain Shop to order a batch."

"What kind of order, show me." Li raised his chin towards the yard.

Soon, several little maids went to take one of those tableware, and held it in their hands with a soft handkerchief.

Since Qiao Yun ordered the menu according to the modern banquet, the types of dinner dishes that night were also ordered according to the current suit style.A set of tableware includes a tasting pot for soup, a nine-inch flat plate for large dishes, a fish plate for fish, a plate for serving dishes, and a four-and-a-half-inch small plate for sharing meals. ...

Her drawings are clear and clear, and the stones in Zhaoji Porcelain Workshop are a genius, so even if some tableware has never been seen before, they can be burned out exactly according to the drawings.

The carcass is as white as snow, and the edges of the bowls and plates are painted with glaze, surrounded by blue and white peony branches and leaves one inch wide. side.

The blue and white color of the Tang Dynasty is not as pure as that of the blue and white materials of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It may be because the quality of cobalt oxide in the pigment is different. a feeling of.

Porcelain itself is very thin and transparent. If you hold it up to the light and look at it, there is even a faint sense of transparency.

Tap lightly with your hand, and the sound from the porcelain bowl is clear and loud, which is not inferior to the sound of jade, and it is very pleasant.

Mrs. Li was holding the porcelain bowl, she couldn't help being shocked.

Such fine porcelain is not even seen in the imperial palace!

Zhao Ji Porcelain Workshop... She also knew that if they had this technology, they would have already earned the plaque of the official kiln and used it exclusively for the queen, so there is no need to take business from outside!

She put down the porcelain bowl, and asked with a serious face: "Is this really made by Zhao Ji Porcelain Workshop?"

Wang Jinzhi was a little confused, nodded and shook her head: "Yes or no...they are indeed good at making this porcelain, but they didn't discover the craft by themselves."

As she said that, she told about how she and Qiao Yun went to the porcelain shop to order porcelain that day.

In fact, she was not sure whether to tell others about it at first.

But then I thought about it, maybe it would be a good thing to say it.

After all, Qiao Yun is an eleven or twelve-year-old child.Many old people always think that they have experienced better than others, and treat those with lower status than themselves with contempt.

Just like firing porcelain this time, Fangzhu Zhao is not a good talker at first glance. If she didn't bring it with her, can girl Yun explain the porcelain firing process?
Wang Jinzhi knew very well that Fangzhu Zhao was willing to listen to her words for the sake of her following him as the legitimate daughter of the Wang family.

This is still the case among merchants, not to mention that Qiao Yun is still thinking about opening up business routes in the gentry class.

In this world, most of the gentry naturally look down on merchants.

Xie Yutan still relies on his background in Bixia Academy, and his relationship with many noble ladies and even princesses who are classmates and sisters in order to be able to enjoy himself in front of the dignitaries in the two capitals.

A low-level merchant woman like Qiao Yun, and she is from a small place, with such an identity, Changluo Liangjing, who can hit an official by throwing a brick on the street, is as humble as an ant. There is nowhere to display great skills.

Thinking of this, Wang Jinzhi felt a little uneasy.The eldest aunt is from the famous Li family in Longxi, I wonder if she will be unhappy because of this?
She hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Auntie... I am on good terms with the merchant girl, do you think I have lost our family's face...?"

Li Shi put the porcelain bowl back into the servant girl's hand with the hand dyed with red Koudan, pondered for a while, and said, "You said...how old is she?"

"I haven't passed my 12th birthday this year, and I'm younger than Ah Yue." Wang Jinzhi said, adding some information about her family affairs.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her usually shrewd eyes.

"She took the initiative to befriend you because she wanted you to open up a few contacts among the dignitaries for her, so that she can do business from now on."

"No, no, no." Wang Jinzhi denied it vehemently: "Auntie, you will know when you get along with her. She doesn't have the kind of flattery of other merchants, and she is very comfortable! She wants to host my birthday party, and she says she wants to borrow money from her." I get some face in Ding Shi Ji, so that those old shopkeepers don't despise her."

Speaking of this, she muttered in a low voice: "I don't think this is considered clinging to the powerful!"

"I'm not angry about it, you don't need an excuse."

Mrs. Li sighed for a long time, her tone was quite earnest.

"She's young and ignorant, so that's all. I'm annoyed by her widowed mother." Li Shi snorted, "My daughter has already flattered Taiyuan Wang Shi, but she still only thinks about how to make money! Could it be that she I never thought that for such an older child, studying is the best way!"

Alas, after all, he was born as a merchant, and his vision is not high.It's a pity that such a good seedling, the little lady Qiao in Azhi's mouth is smart, clever and has many ideas. If she is sent to Bixia Academy, those old women don't know what will become of her baby.

Mrs. Li spurned Yun Xuemei in her heart.

Wang Jinzhi thumped slightly.

Oh yes.

Xie Yutan came from Bixia Academy, and it was impossible for Yuner not to know this.Then why...hasn't she ever thought of asking herself to introduce her to the academy?

Wang Jinzhi unilaterally decided to take her to Bixia Academy after the birthday party.

She will love it there!
At the same time, in Jishanfang, Qiao Yun was trying to make desserts for the banquet.

She was wearing an apron and standing in front of the kitchen stove, holding a small rattan basket in one hand and long wooden chopsticks in the other, flipping the fried cakes back and forth in the bubbling oil pan.

Yun Xuemei sat outside at the stone table tasting delicious food, and suddenly sneezed.

Who is nagging her?
Forget it, take care of him.

She rubbed her nose, tried her best to smell the sweet scent in the air, raised the empty plate in her hand, and shouted to Qiao Yun: "One more plate!"
