The story of a noble girl

Chapter 36

Master Fang felt extremely refreshed and looked at Lin Xiaoning with kind eyes.

Everything in the brick kiln is in order, and Master Fang is much more relaxed. Among the second batch of men brought back last year, there are four men, and there is also a man from Yuantao Village. The five men are very grateful and have learned meticulously. As for the two brothers Lin Jiadong and Wang Gang and Wang Yong, they have mastered the heat of burning bricks, and now they can independently manage a kiln.

Lin Xiaoning has no plans to sell the bricks at the moment. She has her own ideas. First, according to the previous plan, she hastened to build two rows of new brick houses.

The houses of the Lin family, the Fang family, and the Zheng family had to be modified a few times just for the drawings. The windows had to be enlarged, and all the main houses in the latrines had to be reserved for space. In fact, apart from the latrines and windows, Lin Xiaoning still respected the drawing masters very much. Master, everything is done according to his ideas and experience.The only requirement is that the house should be large, with many gardens, mountains and rivers, and the appearance should be low-key but grand.Helplessly, the master painter felt that Lin Xiaoning was a monster. No one built a latrine in the main room.We communicated with each other several times about the latrine, but we couldn’t turn the corner. Helpless, Lin Xiaoning insisted: “Leave me [-] square meters for the main house of each small courtyard to make the latrine, and I will draw the picture of the latrine. That's it."

Mr. Zheng’s unworthy son——Zheng Hao has never fired porcelain since Mr. Zheng left home. The porcelain kiln is too far away from home, and Mrs. Sun needs someone to take care of him. In addition, no one will invite him, a young master who has just grown up, to burn porcelain. So I took care of the two acres of land at home.Now touching the kiln again, I don't know what to do, and I am timid and dare not show my skills, so Mr. Zheng scolded me.

One kiln was burned out, and the second kiln was successfully burned out of the pit, which regained confidence.

Lin Xiaoning also painted hollow thick pipes, rough pottery jars, and white porcelain pieces.

Master Zheng found Mr. Zheng, and the two whispered to each other for a long time.

After 17 years, the father and son are finally busy in a porcelain kiln and workshop again. This scene has mixed feelings... It seems to go back to 17 years ago, when Mr. Zheng was an adult and Mr. Zheng was an adult. Cang Ran burst into tears...

The father-son relationship was finally repaired.

No one mentioned the two people who disappeared 17 years ago, and Sun’s first child miscarriage lost his body, and the second child gave birth to a dog, and he didn’t have a good confinement. The father-in-law is famous all over the world, but he only took the dog alone. Next, give the dog a tael of silver New Year's money during the Chinese New Year, and you will get nothing else.In these years, Mrs. Sun has thoroughly tasted the hardships of life, and has long since worn out her temper. She has a yellow face all day long, and is busy at home and abroad.Compared with Aunt Zhang, the manager of the cotton towel workshop, that Aunt Zhang is a flower in the sky, and Mrs. Sun is a bubble of yellow mud on the ground.

One of the most obvious behaviors that Mrs. Sun showed her favor to Mr. Zheng was to raise a few chicks in captivity, saying that after raising them, they would kill them and feed her father-in-law to make soup.Although it was a bit stingy, but the heart was conveyed.

And Mr. Zheng, Mr. Lin and Master Fang also hit it off, and they met each other again.

Mr. Lin and Mr. Fang are not talking about that. Mr. Fang and Mr. Zheng are both craftsmen, and they have heard Mr. Zheng's name for a long time. This is the pinnacle of folk craftsmen, and the three of them all work with mud.The difference is that Master Fang's and Mr. Zheng's mud are similar, and they are both used for burning, while Mr. Lin's mud is used for farming.But this does not prevent the three old men from drinking and singing operas every few nights. Mr. Zheng can sing much better than Mr. Lin.

The three of them often drink some wine together. Because of Mr. Zheng's health, Mr. Lin and Mr. Fang don't dare to drink too much now, and they both know how to restrain themselves.The ginseng brewed wine is now relieved by Mr. Lin, it’s all soaked, why don’t you just put it on nicely if you don’t drink it, and pour out a small jar, which is enough for three people for a month, and you have to wait for the next month after drinking it.

After the latrine pit and a large number of white ceramics were fired, Lin Xiaoning asked someone to dig a well in the 30 adobe houses, and dug a big pit 300 meters away, put the big vat in, and built a brick house in front of the big vat. A large independent latrine was built, and a circle of flowers was planted around the latrine. The ground, walls, and ceiling inside and outside the latrine were all pasted with white porcelain sheets (the cement-like adhesive is a secret method of Master Fang). There are still a few painted flowers on the white porcelain.There are two water tanks in the latrine, and a small bag of camphor is hung.The squatting pit and the thick pipe are glued together, and the waste is discharged in the squatting pit. Once the water is flushed, it flows along the pipe to the large tank outside the wall. The large tank has a cover and ears, and can be lifted by hanging a hemp rope. Go to the fertile land.

A few days later, the latrine was dry and ready for trial use. Everyone was so surprised by the clean latrine that they dared not take off their pants.Da Fuqi is too clean, everyone has only one thought in mind, that is too rich and too clean!
Mr. Lin, Mr. Fang, and Mr. Zheng walked into the latrine with a smile. They took turns taking off their trousers and urinating one by one. When the water was flushed, the smell was gone.

The master painter opened his mouth wide in amazement, went into the latrine and walked around a few times, and said, "Miss Dong, what do you think, there are still flowers planted on the side of the latrine, and there are white porcelain pieces stuck inside, clean and clean. It’s bright, and there’s the smell of camphor coming and going, and the filth rushes out of the latrine, no wonder you have to build a latrine in the main room, the royal family doesn’t have such a particular latrine.”

The master painter was excitedly drawing the latrine while talking, Lin Xiaoning said generously: "I will give you the idea of ​​this latrine, when you build houses for others in the future, give me a lot of push for my squat pit and white porcelain pieces, my family is very poor. If there are porcelain kilns, they produce in large quantities. If you want goods, come to Taocun. They are durable, unbreakable, and famous as the first in the dynasty."

The draftsman replied excitedly: "For sure, for sure, Miss Dongjia is a good person, so generous, many people in such a latrine must be rebuilt, and they must come to buy these objects. The objects burned by Mr. Zheng are all high-quality goods, high-quality goods .”

Hearing this, Elder Zheng retorted displeasedly: "I didn't burn it, don't ruin my reputation."

The master painter said respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Zheng, it was made by Master Xiao Zheng, who is also outstanding in craftsmanship."

The village chief was a little unhappy, and said privately to Lin Xiaoning: "This is too big a deal. It's really not worthwhile to give the master painter some money for such a well-thought-out latrine."

Lin Xiaoning said with a smile: "He has seen it all. It is not difficult to do this. If you want money, you will spread this latrine. For a little money, no one will happily build a house for us, and recommend white porcelain for us in the future. It's not cost-effective to cheat or something."

The village head also laughed when he heard this: "But if it were me, I would be able to recommend it if I gave it to you. This latrine was made by Mr. Zheng's son... Xiao Ning, you brought a treasure this time. I really didn't expect it Mr. Zheng is so famous, I only know that the masters and workers who built houses from the county, as well as Master Fang, all know Mr. Zheng's name, and now seeing him in person, those workers are very happy."

Lin Xiaoning laughed: "I didn't know Mr. Zheng was so famous. I originally wanted to find a master who could make porcelain to burn latrines for me. Who would have thought that Wang Gang invited such a great god back to burn latrines for me?" , I was dizzy with anger, fortunately Master Xiao Zheng can burn it, otherwise I would have to find another master."

The village chief said: "Mr. Zheng is very nice. He speaks kindly. He is not like Mr. Zheng. He looks very arrogant. For example, Mr. Zheng is very arrogant. I heard from Mr. Fang that Mr. Zheng's porcelain is as good as it is." The price is sky-high, ordinary people can't afford it, and rich people don't need to buy it. They are all beautiful. I have to be careful to serve them. Xiao Ning, I want my youngest son to learn how to make porcelain from Mr. Zheng. But my son said that it is better to learn how to burn latrines from Master Xiao Zheng."

"Village chief, your kid is smart. It's not a matter of a year or two to learn from Mr. Zheng. I'm afraid you'll have to spend your whole life on it to become famous. Why don't you follow Master Zheng to learn how to burn latrines for money? You're a smart man." .”

The village chief said happily: "Well, I am the youngest son who is clever. I am not good at the above two. I am a fool. I can only plant land and do some work in the brick kiln."

Lin Xiaoning said with a smile: "What's wrong with farming, the village chief, you have money in your hands now, hurry up and buy some land, the land can be passed down from generation to generation."

The village head still said happily: "I'm planning to let Da'er go to the yamen with the car to buy when the workshop delivers goods in a few days."

Great, the description of burning bricks and porcelain in this article is based on the only poor information on Baidu and imagination. Please do not make bricks.

***
The mountains are close to the water, it is not as good as the relatives who push the relatives, and the bricks and porcelain are not as good as the relatives accept the relatives...
