Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 439 Black Porcelain Appears
"This is the account book. I have collected more than 1000 catties of jasmine in the past few days. There are no flowers on this mountain. They may grow back in a few days. I bought [-] catties of white sugar. Counting the previous ones, it took a total of five One hundred catties of sugar flowers, let Xiao Linzi go to the town to buy sugar in the afternoon, and we will continue to brew."

"Okay, ma'am, I heard that you can read and write? Why don't you teach Xiao Linzi!"

"I don't learn, what's the use of learning that, and it can't be eaten!" Xiao Linzi's father often said this when he was alive, which not only delayed the future of the two children, but the son also learned that set of ideas.

"Of course it can be eaten, Xiao Linzi, you are only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, and you will still grow up in the rest of your life. If you can learn characters, calculate accounts, and keep accounts, I will let you be the shopkeeper. , I will give you at least three taels of silver a month."

"What?" Mrs. Lin stood up when she heard this, she held onto Xiao Linzi nervously, her eyes were fixed on him, her face was full of urgency, "My son, my son, think about it! "

Although this child is very obedient, sometimes he gets stubborn and doesn't listen to anyone. Aunt Lin once said that she would teach him to write, but in the end he either ran away or ran away. know.

He looked at Tong Xiaowu, and asked uncertainly, "Can you really let me be the shopkeeper?"

"Of course, I said I will do it..." Tong Xiaowu agreed.

In the end, Xiao Linzi nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I will learn..."

In this way, Aunt Lin taught Xiao Linzi to practice calligraphy and bookkeeping when she had time, and continued to work when it was time to work.

Zhang Zhuzi's family became busy, and his brother-in-law also came to help, and even called two people from their village to help build the kiln. Just don't pay that much attention.

The rotating wooden disc has been finished, and Zhang Zhuzi went up the mountain to pull soil. There are more red soil here, but he did not choose these red soil. When he got home, he started sifting dirt and mud.

Seeing that many people came to his house, many villagers were busy, so they couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Zhuzi, what are you doing?"

Zhang Zhuzi had a special understanding of the thoughts of the villagers, so he said, "Let's see if we can burn a porcelain pot, thinking about earning some money!"

"Aren't you doing business with the Yang family? Why do you suddenly want to make porcelain pots? Is it because the Yang family doesn't need you anymore?" Someone said with a sneer.

"If you are all free, why not go up the mountain to pick flowers? Why are you asking these questions?" Aunt Zhang on the side opened her mouth.

A few people looked at me and I looked at you, and said, "The jasmine flowers on the mountain are all gone, and I don't pick them anymore. Come out to watch the fun!"

"I know how to watch the excitement every day, so I might as well think about how to live a good life!" Sister Zhang said dissatisfiedly, the people in this village are like this, they seem to have no motivation at all.

"It's as if you've had a good life. The Yang family is a foreigner, and their thinking is not correct. Have you seen that, you don't need you?" Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun also came to watch the fun. Hearing this, they couldn't help but sarcastically .

Zhang Zhuzi got angry and shouted, "Who said we don't need us? The Dong family said that as long as I make porcelain jars, I will buy my porcelain at the market price. Otherwise, what do you think I am busy with?"

After finishing speaking, he glared at the two old women who were not talking well, and continued to work.

At this time, they realized that the courtyard wall should not be too low, otherwise these people would be annoying enough to watch the excitement every day if they had nothing to do.

After dinner in the afternoon, Xiao Linzi went to the neighboring village to find Zhao Defa to buy sugar in the town. The jasmine flowers were all drying and needed to be boiled.

Tong Xiaowu began to settle the accounts, the investment of 50 taels of silver has already been spent more than a dozen taels, and the rest of the money needs to be set up for a factory to produce moon cakes, and more investment is needed there.

At the beginning, they had 120 taels of silver in their hands, and they spent a little more on living. They spent more than a dozen taels on building courtyard walls and building wing rooms, renting a house and decorating shops, all of which were expenses.

In this way, the money is not enough, Tong Xiaowu looked at the account book, and suddenly felt that why this time is more difficult than his first start-up?

At that time, thinking was simpler and less impatient, so it was easier to spend money?
Tong Xiaowu shook her head and closed the account book. Although there are more than 70 taels of silver inside and out, she should be able to persist until the opening of the business. Let's see when the time comes!

The yards on both sides began to work in full swing. Xiao Linzi was making sugar flowers in the yard, and Aunt Lin was sitting at the door of Yang’s house to collect jasmine. The jasmine on the nearby mountains had been lit up in the past two days, but villagers from other villages came to buy flowers , so people still need to guard it.

Zhang Zhuzi's house was even more lively. The clay pots for the first experiment had already been fired. After about an hour, the furnace was started and the kiln was started, but they didn't want to burn all of them.

The villagers laughed when they saw it, and Grandma Sun and Grandma Li laughed the most. "Is it over? What are you doing? Do you think you can make it yourself after working in the porcelain kiln in the town for two months? What a joke!"

"Get out, people like you just don't see others being good, so get out!" Mrs. Zhang was already in a bad mood when she saw this scene. Grandma Sun and Grandma Li didn't give any good words, so she couldn't help but picked up the broom and went to the gate Drive people out.

Everyone dispersed in a rush, and it was getting dark at this time, and they all went home to eat.

The three children, a few helpers, and Zhang Zhuzi's brother-in-law all offered comfort. Zhang Zhuzi carefully looked at the notes he had taken, and said, "I don't believe it anymore, I still fail?"

With a ready buyer in sight, how could he give up?

Was he dismissed from the porcelain kiln in the town because he burned out the porcelain?Not at all, they just can't sell because of the product.

How could he give up such a good opportunity because the first furnace of porcelain pots burned out?He must complete the task before tomorrow!
Sister-in-law Zhang cooked dinner and left her natal brothers to eat here. Zhang Zhuzi also accompanied her after dinner and continued to work.

This night, their family hardly rested. On the second day, more than [-] porcelain pots have been fired. The shape of the pots is beautiful and the glaze is clean.

Zhang Zhuzi happily rushed into Tong Xiaowu's house, "Brother Yang, my house has made clay pots, go and have a look, it's very good..."

He danced excitedly, eager to tell the whole world about his happy mood. Tong Xiaowu and Bichen left home and came to Brother Zhang's house. At this time, many people had already gathered at his door.

Grandma Sun and Grandma Li were also there, and they looked at Tong Xiaowu with gouged eyes.

　Still asking for a monthly pass, monthly pass, monthly pass...
