Enter the Room

  Chapter 343

  The east courtyard of Liulichang side courtyard is brightly lit, whispering and laughing, lively yet warm.

  Yuan Yunzhong not only reserved a table for Song Jiyun, but also reserved a table for Zheng Quan and others.

"This dry croquette is well done." Zheng Quan and others were eating in the East Wing, discussing in low voices, "Crispy but not firewood. What's on the bottom? It tastes like shredded radish. It's really finely chopped .But with this dry croquette, it is refreshing and relieves the greasy. Delicious!"

  Xiang Zan and Wang Hua set dishes for Song Jiyun and Yuan Yunzhong in the main room.

  It’s just a simple four dishes and one soup, but there are spicy dishes such as winter bamboo shoots and roasted pork, sausage and rock chicken, as well as light dishes such as steamed lion’s head and boiled cabbage. It is very homely for two people.

  Yuan Yunzhong also pointed to the food box he mentioned earlier: "Here is red dates, lotus seeds and bird's nest soup. You can fill it out and let your eldest lady drink a bowl."

   Xiangzan responded with a smile, and went to open the food box with Wang Hua.

Song Jiyun poured a cup of tea for Yuan Yunzhong, and said, "I'm a bit busy in the afternoon, so I didn't take care of you for a while. When I looked up, I saw that you were gone. I was still worried about where you went. Who knows where you went Restaurant."

  Yuan Yunzhong said: "I didn't expect you to make it so late."

   Having said that, he frowned, and said: "I don't know who came up with the idea of ​​glazing three hundred porcelain embryos in one go? If it can't be done today, why not wait until tomorrow?"

   Indeed a bit much.

   But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more.

  Song Jiyun smiled and said: "It's not easy to open a kiln. We have to burn at least a thousand pieces at a time. If there are too few things, the master who put the piles will not know how to control the heat for a while."

  Yuan Yunzhong still thinks this idea is enough to torment people.

  Xiang Zan brought red dates, lotus seeds and bird's nest soup.

  Yuan Yunzhong urged her: "Moisturize the lungs. You have to stay by the kiln these few days, and you will be very angry."

  Song Jiyun smiled and thanked him.

  Yuan Yunzhong asked about what happened just now: "But what did Song Tao say that was not pleasant? I think Zheng Quan's complexion is not very good."

Usually, he always pays attention to "eat without talking, sleep without talking", but when he met Song Jiyun, he seemed to have endless things to say, not to mention the time to eat together, that was when he took a nap on the Luohan couch in her study that day, He had to say a few words to her to feel at ease.

   Fortunately, Song Jiyun doesn't seem to be so demanding. When he talks to her, she will talk with him.

   "I'm just not reconciled, so I just barked a few words." Song Jiyun selectively relayed a few words of Song Tao, winked at him, and said, "She must be very envious of me having a good husband, who speaks sourly."

  Yuan Yunzhong let out an indifferent "Oh", picked up the chopsticks, and said, "Eat, eat."

  The ears are red.

  Song Jiyun pursed his lips and smiled.

  *

   After dinner, they walked to the entrance of the kiln.

  The guards of the Ministry of Punishment are heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to approach except the master and his apprentices.

  Song Tao may have gone to eat, but there is only a master and apprentice watching the fire at the mouth of her kiln. In Song Jiyun's side, apart from those watching the fire, there were also quite a few onlookers around the red line. From what he said, they were all residents living nearby, and they came here to hang out after eating and having nothing to do. Zhou Zheng was standing there talking with those people hoarsely.

  The crowd burst into laughter from time to time.

  Yuan Yunzhong's eyes fell on the patrolling yamen servant, nodded slightly and said: "The people sent by the Ministry of Punishment this time are quite organized, and you can sleep peacefully at night."

  He knew that Song Jiyun was worried about King Ning's conspiracy, so he deliberately asked He Dazhi and others to pretend to be Master Xiaoguo's apprentices, and guarded the kiln mouth in shifts.

   "People from Dali Temple should be on duty tomorrow." He said, "I will greet them in advance."

  Song Jiyun smiled and nodded.

  Zhou Zheng saw them, pulled a boy to replace him, and trotted over.

   "Uncle, master." He saluted Yuan Yunzhong and Song Jiyun.

   During this period of time, people around her often saw Yuan Yunzhong, and Yuan Yunzhong's attitude towards her made them respect Yuan Yunzhong, but they were less afraid.

"I just went over to Yinyu Hall to have a look." He said excitedly, "The teams over there have all lined up from Xishilan to Chang'an Avenue. It is said that many people took pottery cards to ask. What a surprise for ten. The guys in the shop followed you and Boss Hong’s instructions, saying that they could exchange a small tea cup for free. They also showed them the tea cup. Everyone was blown up, and now they are all Ask the people around you what kind of pottery plaques they got, and someone offered a price, one penny for one pottery plaque. Our Yin Yutang has made a name for itself in the capital."

   It’s only been one day!

  His voice was a little choked with excitement.

   Although Song Jiyun did not do marketing in her previous life, she has seen many marketing plans. You can apply a similar one if you think about it.

She said: "You still think about how to transport the teacups from Jingdezhen as soon as possible for free pottery tokens. Don't say that someone has collected thirty pottery tokens, but you can't take out so many teacups." Come on, if you don't keep your word, even if I have the ability to reach the sky, it's useless."

"No, no." Zhou Zheng looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he whispered, "We followed your instructions and released the last three patterns on the day when the kiln opened. They have to collect thirty patterns. I have to come here every day, and there are only a hundred or so of the two patterns. There are more than two hundred of the same teacups in our warehouse."

  Song Jiyun gave a "hmm" and warned: "The teacup that hasn't been replaced would rather be smashed than sold again. What I want is this one, and it can't be seen as a casual and ordinary style."

   Zhou Zheng still felt a little distressed.

  That's thin-bodied sweet white porcelain engraved with dark patterns of lotus flowers!

  You can get two or three taels of silver for a single sale.

  He hesitated: "Isn't it okay to sell it in Nanjing?"

   "Then you might as well put a few more pottery cards." Song Jiyun objected, "Don't worry about this trivial matter. Benefit a few more people and help us spread the word."

  Zhou Zheng laughed, and ran to follow Song Jiyun's instructions to rearrange the distribution of pottery plaques.

   Seeing that it was getting late, Yuan Yunzhong also left: "I'll come back tomorrow. Don't look for me in the crowd, just go about your business with peace of mind."

Song Jiyun could only send it to the gate of Liulichang: "I have nothing to do tomorrow, just watch the fire and wait for the kiln to start. But you, don't wait in the crowd if you have nothing to do. The third division arranged for us to rest here place, if you have nothing to do, go there and rest, the sun is quite sunny these days."

  Yuan Yunzhong should be "good".

   Saying goodbye, the two stood in front of the Liulichang gate and talked stickily for almost half an hour before leaving.

  *

  The next day passed safely.

   It's just that there are a lot of people who come to receive pottery plaques.

  Zhou Zheng had no choice but to temporarily hire a few people to help deal out the cards.

  Some people even came to pick up several.

  Zhou Zheng was worried about how to stop a family member from coming to collect it several times.

  Song Jiyun smiled and said: "Let them take it. I just want people to go to Yinyu Hall to join in the fun, as long as there are more people."

  Zhou Zheng didn't care about it, and cheerfully handed out pottery cards.

  The third day was also passed safely, Song Tao didn't even show up.

  Song Jiyun sat with his elbows on the ponytail beside the steamed bun kiln, he didn't quite believe that King Ning and Song Tao would give up so easily, and wondered if there was something she hadn't considered that would allow them to take advantage of it.
