Soft and cute female mage

Chapter 214
Hearing Zheng Shouyi's words, Fang Ling breathed a sigh of relief. He pushed Chang Ting's hand away and said:
“Where did the pork liver come from?”

"Didn't Auntie ask for pig liver to go with the wine? I just happened to take over the job of killing pigs, and I went there before dawn when I happened to be asleep. I asked for this when I came back. Auntie, please don't let it go. Qiaoer knows."

"Why can't Qiaoer know?"

"She knows about my old man (father), and she is afraid of harming Yin's virtue, so she won't let me do this again, especially now that I have Xiangxiang again."

"Then what are you still doing?"

Zheng Shouyi quickly put away the things on the ground, and while beckoning the two of them into the house, he said embarrassedly:
"Auntie, you also know that I was ignorant when I was young, and I did all kinds of bastard things that caused trouble. Now I don't have any skills..."

He paused, looked around the room and continued, "I wronged her."

"But to tell you the truth, I recently found out that the Shande Kiln in Yongling is recruiting workers in Jintang, and I have already made an agreement with someone that I will go there to work as a kiln worker in a few days.

I heard that Shande Kiln is owned by Li Zong's sect, not to mention the high wages, but they treat people kindly.The Sect Master of the Li Sect is a one in a million kind person.You are both practitioners, you should have heard of it, right? "

Changting said with great interest: "With a high salary and good treatment, does that mean he is one of the most kind people in a million?"

"Uncle, you don't know. It's not just that. In addition to the Shande kiln, Li Zong also has a Shantang.

But all orphans without parents or old people and sick people can go there to beg for a bite to eat.Even seriously ill people can receive free medical treatment there, and they won't even charge a penny for soup and medicine during the period.

Not only that, they also took care of the burial and salvation after death.

Moreover, not everyone can recruit kiln workers. They are all disabled, sick, and orphans. It can be regarded as a meal for these poor people.

Isn't this considered a one in a million kind person? "

"You won't lie to people that you are a lonely man, will you?" Fang Ling asked.

Zheng Shouyi rubbed his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"It can solve food and drink, and earn money, so it can sew new clothes for Qiaoer and Xiangxiang."

"You will plan very well. But if you leave, what will Qiaoer's mother and daughter do in their daily lives? What should they do if they meet that rascal again?"

"Don't be afraid! That bastard Jassian is an idiot. I've already taken care of his affairs. He's absolutely crazy."

Zheng Shouyi was naturally concerned about Qiaoer's mother and daughter. Since he said it was okay, it should be okay.

Fang Ling went to sleep and returned to the cage. When she woke up in a daze, Xiangxiang was pinching her nose with her chubby little hand. Seeing Fang Ling woke up, she hid her head under the quilt with a grin tail.

Fang Ling pretended not to see the perpetrator, and exaggeratedly shouted:

"Hey, which little villain pinched my nose? See if I don't find her out and spank her!"

As he spoke, he patted lightly on the high buttocks.

Xiangxiang giggled and showed her round face, and the two rolled into a ball.

I don’t know what Zheng Shouyi told Qiaoer, but Qiaoer didn’t doubt the origin of that sweetheart.He happily carried it into the kitchen, burned it, and then greeted everyone to eat.

Xianyue only felt that since he changed into this young servant's attire yesterday, he seemed to have really become a servant, and now he actually wants to lead Xiao Zhongyu and Lu Congqian from door to door to find Niu.However, the cow did not find it but brought back a message.

It is said that something happened in an ancient kiln in the middle of the mountain last night, which sounds quite evil.

Speaking of Jintang, because it is located on the side of the official road, the transportation is convenient, and it is rich in porcelain clay. People rely on the craftsmanship of firing porcelain and making porcelain.

Even the exquisite Beauty Drunk among the popular porcelains at the moment also came from Jintang at the earliest.

In Jintang at that time, although all kinds of porcelain were blooming everywhere, not every family could produce such unique treasures as Meirenzui.In the entire Jintang, there is only one Jin family ancient kiln that can be used for firing.

Anyone who has such a secret recipe must have hidden it, for fear of being stolen or robbed. They only wait until they are old, fast and bathe, burn incense and pray, and then tell their ancestors to pass it on to the next generation.

But Jin Xuan, the next generation descendant of the Jin family, didn't like this way since she was a child. Not only did she not like it, but she always said that there were ghosts in the kiln, and she dared not go there.

As a result, the old man Jin Shunye, who is already [-] years old, still has to go to the kiln, prepare the ingredients, ignite the fire and control the temperature until the final product comes out, which is very exhausting.After coming and going, more kiln workers were recruited.

But with more kiln workers recruited, there will be more stealing teachers.

Within a year or two, news spread that beauties were being fired in kilns all over Jintang.Mr. Jin Shunye didn't believe it. His ancestral craftsmanship had never been passed down from generation to generation. How could it be spread?

So they went to various earthen kilns and collected porcelain at high prices. After carefully evaluating it, they smashed it angrily and reported it to the officials.

It turns out that the so-called beauty intoxication in the earthen kiln is all dipped and dyed by the kiln workers with lead and copper dyes on the glaze, and then baked in the kiln again.

However, lead and copper dyes are poisonous and cannot be used for food utensils.Because of the implication of its name and the fact that it is hard to find, Meirenzui is often used as a wine vessel by dignitaries at banquets to show their status.

At that time, the government had a similar case that was quite difficult and needed to be dealt with urgently.Mr. Jin Shunye's petition was just right, so he closed the case on this basis.

Because of the nobleman's death, the entire Jintang porcelain industry was implicated.

The government ordered all porcelain kilns in Jintang to be inspected. Finished and semi-finished products were destroyed on the spot regardless of category, and all earthen kilns were sealed on the spot.Only the ancient kiln of the Jin family is left as a special kiln for Meirenzui, and its construction was supervised by the local government.

However, the reason why Meirenzui is a treasure is that on the one hand, it is because of its warm texture and delicate and noble color. Although it is thick and colorful, it is still elegant and dignified.

On the other hand, it is because things are rare.Even if the ancient kilns of the Jin family came out of the same kiln, only one in ten million can achieve beauty and intoxication.

Today, although the Jinjia ancient kiln has become the only local kiln in one fell swoop, it needs to pay tribute every year, and the number of tribute products is limited.Seeing that the deadline for paying tribute is approaching, the ancient kiln of the Jin family has been repeatedly changed. The local people all say that the Jin family has suffered retribution for cutting off the livelihood of other earthen kilns.

For this matter, Mr. Jin Shunye lived in the ancient kiln almost every day, and his body became thinner and weaker day by day.Jin Xuan was forced to start taking over the Jin family property.

But for some reason, one day, Jin Xuan, who has always been respectful and filial, suddenly had a big fight with Mr. Jin Shunye, and left home angrily, drinking heavily for days and nights.

It wasn't until a few days later that old man Jin Shunye suddenly disappeared while firing the last wave of tribute porcelain, and Jin Xuan was tied back by his family.

At that time, all the porcelain blanks had been put into the kiln, and only Jin Xuan had to light the fire to control the temperature.If this kiln is completed, tribute can be paid on time, and the Jin family will be safe, but if this kiln is changed again, it will be condemned.

When they left the kiln, everyone held their breath.When the kiln wares came out slowly with the push plate, I saw that all the porcelain had been dyed a touch of blush by the fire, like a drunken beauty, bright and moving, compared to any previous furnace. No less.

Everyone rushed to tell each other, weeping with joy.

Seeing this, however, Jin Xuan suddenly went into a rage and became mad, and swung a shovel and smashed all the shocking works into pieces.

In the end, the Jin family confiscated all their belongings for maliciously destroying the tribute, while Jin Xuan was tattooed and exiled.

Afterwards, the ancient kiln was taken over by the government and skilled craftsmen from all over the country were invited to try it one after another, but in the end no beauty drunk was produced.

Not only that, since this kiln left the Jin family, strange things have been reported from time to time.At first, it was just occasional ghostly whispers at night, but later it became more and more uncontrollable, and there was often the sound of porcelain being smashed.

Not only did the commotion become louder and louder, it was even said that a kiln worker was bewitched by a ghost and ate porcelain clay tiles in the kiln, and even died of vomiting blood after being cut by the tiles.

After several days of investigation, the government could not find out the cause and effect, so they had to close the ancient kiln and no longer operate it.
