  Chapter 166

  The entire Liang County was discussing that Song Jiyun donated a porcelain-fired Avalokitesvara seated lotus statue to the Temple of the Eight Immortals.

   "I heard that the Buddha statue is as tall as a person, is it true?"

   "It must be bragging! How many times does the imperial kiln factory burn a dragon tank without killing a few people? Sometimes it may not be possible to burn a single one in a few years. Burning a Buddha statue means that the kiln **** is reincarnated?"

   "Isn't that young lady of the Song family rumored to be the reincarnation of the Kiln God? Maybe she really has this ability?"

   "Whether it's true or not, don't you know if you go and see it? The Song family has decided to give away the Buddha statue on the 18th of this month, and there will definitely be a consecration ceremony at that time."

  Everyone is calling for friends, as if celebrating the New Year, and they are all planning to go to see the excitement that day.

   Song Jiyun was stuck in the kiln factory by those customers who responded surprisingly to the business opportunity.

   "Boss Song, my father and I were good friends when we were alive. Our Putuo Temple is being rebuilt. You should help us burn a big Buddha no matter what. The price is negotiable."

The man was immediately ridiculed by everyone: "Whoever said it seems that he has no friendship with Lao Boss Song! Boss Song, I was not only good friends with your father, but also a big customer of your kiln factory. If you don't believe me, you can I asked shopkeeper Zhou to confirm it. Even when your father’s accident happened, our boss even came to pay homage to the old boss in person, and you have to line up our orders for us no matter what.”

"Boss Song, we know that big Buddha statues are hard to burn. Our family doesn't ask for objects that open the door. See if you can burn some for our family that are only half a foot high in your elegant hall." Buddha statue? Our family pays the full amount. No, our family adds 20%."

Immediately, someone yelled: "Shopkeeper Yang, you are too shameless! Boss Song, our family is not as rich and powerful as theirs, but our family can promise that as long as you arrange the order that our family wants, your family will not be able to sell all of them." Our family has all the daily-use porcelain, and we buy it at the original price.”

  The so-called inexhaustible daily-use porcelain is a polite way of saying it. In fact, it is a waste product.

  The defective products fired by the kiln will also be classified again. Some usable ones are sold at the price of cabbage, and some unusable ones are smashed and thrown by the river.

  After all, defective products are also porcelain, which cannot be eaten or drunk, and it takes up space.

  The whole front yard of Songjiayao factory was full of noise, which made Song Jiyun's head hurt.

But as soon as she spoke, everyone was as quiet as a chicken, and they all listened carefully to her: "I know everyone is anxious. It is precisely because of this that our kiln separates the 'jade porcelain' workshop from the kiln. Everyone To place an order, just go to the 'Jade Porcelain Workshop' and find shopkeeper Zhou. On my side, just produce—whatever he orders, we will burn it?"

   "Boss Song, isn't it that we can't get in line with shopkeeper Zhou?" Everyone booed.

  Song Cumulus could do nothing.

   Finally escaped under the protection of Zheng Quan.

  As if she had run three kilometers, she slumped down on the master chair in the accountant's office of the kiln factory, and thankfully said to Luo Zixing, "It's a good thing that the jade porcelain was distributed at the beginning, otherwise the kiln factory wouldn't even be able to start work."

  Luo Zixing couldn't stop laughing these days just thinking about the dividends he would get at the end of the year.

"It's still the master who is resourceful and decisive!" He not only called Song Jiyun "the master" like he used to call Song Erliang, but also brought a cup of tea to Song Jiyun himself, "Nowadays, many people in small workshops hear that our family needs a mold master Came here to ask for a letter. After a while, I’m afraid all the mold masters in Jingdezhen will come to our house to work.”

  Song Jiyun pondered and said: "See if there are any good seedlings. This year's Kiln God Festival, find a way to invite some master masters who can bring apprentices."

   She will take back the sweet white porcelain sooner or later, but a good mold maker is not so easy to find.

  This time, when burning Buddha statues, other people’s fire affected the yield rate, but their family’s mold master’s craftsmanship affected the yield rate.

  Luo Zixing hurriedly said: "My boss, don't worry, I will be watched!"

   Speaking of this, he hesitated: "Master, look at this Kiln God Festival, do we want to recruit more apprentices?"

   Taking advantage of the east wind of Buddha statues, their daily porcelains are all sold out.

   No matter what kind of suit you are, everyone is swarming to grab you in order to establish a relationship with the kiln factory.

  He even wished he could buy a mud pit.

  It's a pity that most of the mud pits that can be mined in Jingdezhen have been passed down from generation to generation, and it is difficult to sell them.

  Song Jiyun nodded, and talked about another matter: "You said last time that you found a very good mold maker, but was poached by Liangyu Kiln Factory. What happened?"

Luo Zixing was also very angry when he mentioned this matter, he said: "You also know that most of the porcelain in Jingdezhen is cast, and mold masters can only be used at certain times, and those who can burn large-scale wares are all in the imperial kiln factory. Even if the mold masters outside can receive work, most of them are small objects.

"The mold maker was famous for his craftsmanship, but he didn't get many jobs. Later, Liangyu Kiln Factory dug people everywhere. Somehow, he took a fancy to the mold maker, promised a lot of money, and signed him. go.

"At the beginning, I was worried that Liangyu Kiln Factory had made up its mind to burn Buddha statues, but we were one step ahead. Who knows, I found out after inquiring. It turned out that Liangyu Kiln Factory dug people out and encouraged them to burn Buddha statues. He changed his career, and now he is doing apprentice work in Liangyu Kiln Factory with the salary of a master master—Ms. Where is the painter!"

   This is a bit strange.

  A good mold maker makes people change careers to become a painter.

   Unless this person has the talent to be a painter.

  Song Jiyun said: "Are you sure you are the one who digs first, and then persuades people to change?"

Luo Zixing nodded, and said: "This is the first time I have encountered such a thing, and I have asked it several times. The people in that family said that they thought they were asked to be a mold maker before, and only after they went did they know that Liangyu Kiln Factory is not good. A molder is needed."

   In other words, Song Tao learned something through "the future".

  Currently, Song Tao’s kilns only produce “jade porcelain”, and the biggest feature of jade porcelain is that it is as white as jade. Even if you want to make it look fancy, you need a carver rather than a painter.

  If Song Tao is to prepare for burning "blue and white" in the future, Jingdezhen has the most masters who can paint "blue and white", so she doesn't need to train a painter.

   It can be seen that this artist must have extraordinary skills in the "future", or have created miracles.

  The past cannot be changed, but the future is infinitely possible.

Song Jiyun smiled and said: "If she wants to train, let's train! The bigger and stronger the kiln, the more and stronger our opponents will be. If she wants to be our opponent, it will depend on whether she is qualified to be ours at that time." opponent."

  Luo Zixing nodded again and again, and talked to Song Jiyun about sending the Buddha statue on the 18th.

  Song Tao, however, was excited about a piece of news from the Imperial Kiln Factory, and had no time to take care of the Baxian Nunnery.
