Nongmen Xianggong is a koi

Chapter 86

There are also some that are like the requirements of the tea garden. They require exquisite waterproof and durable. They are used to transport things such as cloth and raw silk, and the price they offer is also very impressive.

These orders are urgent or delayed, and the quantity and delivery time are also different.

Jiang Mixia simply divided the orders according to the priority and difficulty of the orders, in order, and the ability of each person in the workshop.

The task is specific to the individual, coupled with the performance reward plan formulated by Jiang Mixia, the workers in the workshop are full of energy and do their best.

At the porcelain kiln, under Zhu Yongwu's busy work, the first batch of mud blanks were produced. After drying the embryos, dipping in glaze and other processes, they were placed in saggers and put into the kiln, and the firing of the first batch of porcelain began.

When building a kiln for firing porcelain, in order to facilitate construction and ensure a low construction cost, under the design and command of Zhu Yongwu, a mantou kiln that he is also familiar with was built. This kind of kiln has a low chimney and a deep ash pit. And large, the technical requirements for firing the kiln are relatively high.

The flame temperature is not easy to control, and the temperature in the kiln is easy to fluctuate. If the control is not good, it is easy to affect the product quality.

Zhu Yongwu felt a little uneasy about this.

In particular, this is the first batch of porcelain he fired after he started firing the kiln. It is his hope, and it is also the first lottery of the business cooperation with Jiang's family. No matter what, the quality must be ensured.

Zhu Yongwu attached great importance to this. During the day and night of firing the kiln, he hardly closed his eyes and stared at the kiln all the time.

Jiang Youcheng's family was a little too nervous to see Zhu Yongwu, so they took Zhu Guangtai home to live for two days, and asked Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia to help Zhu Yongwu deliver meals three times a day, and help Zhu Yongwu by the way. He takes a short break.

"Brother Yongwu, don't worry, the porcelain in this kiln will definitely burn well." Song Jingyun comforted Zhu Yongwu while helping him add firewood to the kiln.

"Then I will lend you a good word." Zhu Yongwu has been in such a high-temperature kiln for more than a day, and his eyes are a little red.

"You can't say that it will be fine if you borrow a good word from the sixth brother-in-law." Jiang Chunyu spoke from the side.

Jiang Chunyu was originally interested in kneading bowls and plates. Since the kiln for firing porcelain was built, he can't wait to be with Zhu Yongwu every day, thinking about making one or two bowls and plates by himself. It's time for Zhu Yongwu to burn it out.

How proud would it be if he could serve a bowl made by himself for dinner?
If the porcelain kiln is successful, Zhu Yongwu will not be able to do it alone in the future. He needs to recruit apprentices. Now that there are ready-made apprentices, Zhu Yongwu naturally has no reason to refuse, so he teaches Jiang Chunyu some basic things.

Jiang Chunyu is a quick learner and is willing to help out at the porcelain kiln. Basically, he spends all his time here except eating and sleeping.

This time Zhu Yongwu fired the kiln for the first time, and he also volunteered to watch the kiln with Zhu Yongwu all the way.

Seeing that Jiang Chunyu was so sure, Zhu Yongwu laughed, "You are very confident."

"Of course." Jiang Chunyu raised his chin, puffed out his chest, and said his words forcefully, "My sixth brother-in-law opened his mouth before, and it was the most effective."

There is such a thing?

Zhu Yongwu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Then it's thanks to your sixth brother-in-law."

But it was just a joke that Jiang Chunyu said as a child, and he didn't take it too seriously.

The fire in the kiln burned for a full day and night.

According to Zhu Yongwu's experience, the quality of these firewood is average, and it is a new kiln, and the fire is not well controlled when firing. If about half of the products fired this time are qualified, it is considered a success.

And among the qualified products, the quality is estimated to be not very high. At most, they can be sold at shops in the town for a moderate price.

However, Zhu Yongwu has calculated that even if this is the case, the overall calculation should not lose money.

It is okay to burn a kiln for the first time without losing money.

With this mentality in mind, and in an uneasy mood, after the kiln had been airing for two full days, I moved out the saggers inside one by one.

Jiang Mixia, Song Jingyun, and Jiang Chunyu were also helping.

After all the saggers were brought out and placed on the floor, Zhu Yongwu took a deep breath and opened the nearest sagger.

It is a very ordinary milky white porcelain bowl with pure glaze.

Flat and smooth, uniform enamel, good color, crisp and bright sound, no deformation in shape, and one or two pinholes caused by glaze shrinkage in inconspicuous places.

Overall, the quality is good.

"High-quality products." Zhu Yongwu was a little excited, and called Jiang Mixia and the others to open the remaining saggers together.

For the first kiln firing, the number and types of kilns are not too many.

There are 20 large, medium and small bowls in total, and more than [-] porcelain basins.

After checking, top-quality products accounted for [-]%, middle-class products accounted for [-]%, inferior products accounted for [-]%, and [-]% were failed products with cracks.

Ninety percent of finished products and sixty percent of high-quality products are beyond Zhu Yongwu's expectation!

"Let me tell you, it will definitely work." Jiang Chunyu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Zhu Yongwu was also very happy at the moment, tidied up the porcelain, and then discussed with Jiang Mixia about selling the porcelain.

In the previous cooperation, the two sides had their own division of labor. Zhu Yongwu was in charge of the big and small affairs of the kiln here, while the sales task was on Jiang Mixia.

Jiang Mixia’s point of view is that they don’t need to set up stalls to sell loose, but directly seek reliable cooperative sellers. It seems that the quantity is large and the price is low, but in this case, they can concentrate on making porcelain and firing porcelain without worrying too much In terms of sales, there is no need to worry about a large amount of inventory, but it is more accountable.

Zhu Yongwu doesn't know much about sales, and he also feels that Jiang Mixia can manage the business of the bamboo weaving workshop properly, and he is quite experienced in this area, so he entrusts Jiang Mixia with full authority.

In the afternoon of that day, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun brought some porcelain to the town, looking for the largest shop selling porcelain in the town, Zhao Ji.

Shopkeeper Zhao is a business man who has been in business for many years. He is almost 40 years old.

Knowing that a porcelain kiln was built in Jiangjia Village, and that Jiang Mixia was here to sell porcelain, shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly led it to the backyard and served tea.

"Let's not talk about our town, there are only a few towns around here, and there is not a serious porcelain kiln. If you go further, there are only one or two in the north of the county, but the quality of the finished products is really average, most of them are more than ten. Coarse porcelain with a lot of money is at most for home use, and you can’t even sell it to entertain guests. The various porcelains sold in our shop are all from nearby counties and even prefectures.”
