Enter the Room

  Chapter 181

  Song Jiyun is busy with the opening of the Dragon Kiln, so he has no time to pay attention to Mrs. Wang.

  Mrs. Wang actually ran to Song's house and asked to see Mrs. Qian.

   Fortunately, Manager Wu was guarding the house and did not let her in.

Even so, Manager Wu broke out in a cold sweat, and said to Song Jiyun: "Nowadays there are rumors in Jingdezhen that Li Zixiu is sinister, cunning, and ruthless. If anyone does better business than him, he will plot against them. In the future, when you see people from the Li family, you have to take a detour."

   "It's all on its own accord!" Song Jiyun didn't want to make more judgments about this, she was more concerned about how to calculate the wages for those small workshops who wanted to set up their dragon kiln to burn porcelain.

  Zhou Zheng felt that the calculation should be based on the number of pieces entering the kiln: "Who can guarantee how many finished pieces can be fired? Of course it is calculated by the porcelain blank!"

Luo Zixing had other worries: "Whether porcelain can be made or not depends a lot on the heat, the location, the distance from the crater, and the size of the sagger. Originally, we let them burn it out of human kindness, but it was terrible because we were afraid that the finished product would be finished later." Not much, and they felt like we were taking the good spots for ourselves. A good thing turned into a bad thing."

   Xiang Yang hesitated: "How about we mark out the location and collect money according to the quality of the location?"

   "That's even more inappropriate." Luo Zixing said, "Who knows which way the wind blows that day?"

  The place where the crater sometimes becomes the place where the tuyere is.

  Xiang Yang laughed twice.

  Gu Qingdao: "Or should we set aside a section for them. Let them arrange it themselves?"

   "Which paragraph should I give them?"

   "In short, there are too many finished products, so it is easy to say anything. There are too few finished products, and nothing is right." Xiang Yang sighed, "Why don't you agree to them?"

  Everyone, you and I have no conclusion.

  Finally, Song Jiyun said: "Let's put them into the kiln according to the number of pieces. But, as I said before, if it can't be fired, it can be fired, and each has his own destiny."

   Everyone stopped talking, and went separately to discuss this matter with the small workshop that had contacted them.

   Within a few days, seven or eight small workshops picked up their sun-dried porcelain blanks.

  Song Jiyun looked at it, and there were about a hundred pieces.

   Much less than she expected.

   It can be seen that everyone still has doubts about whether she can burn a dragon kiln.

  Song Jiyun greeted the bosses of each workshop.

  Because everyone was burning blue and white flowers this time, she marked the position and asked their respective sagger masters to fill the box and fill the kiln.

  After the Song family’s porcelain blanks were finished, Song Jiyun ordered the kiln the next day.

   Neither choose a date nor check the auspicious time.

  Luo Zixing said: "You have a big heart!"

  Song Jiyun smiled and said: "Or else? The kiln factory's orders are as high as someone's. Once this kiln is fired, we will be relaxed."

  Luo Zixing didn't speak.

   After submitting this batch of orders, there will be another batch of orders.

   I just don’t know if Song Jiyun will open a dragon kiln.

  The risk is too great.

  Several people guarded the kiln, and the kiln workers who picked firewood worked day and night.

   On the way, Xiong’s family sent firewood to their family once.

   This time, Master Xiong actually came in person.

  He asked Song Jiyun with concern: "How is it? Is there enough firewood to burn it? I asked them to pick out all the old pine trees for you that are more than ten years old, with a lot of grease."

  Song Jiyun thanked you again and again, and invited Master Xiong to dinner.

   "You are busy with your work, don't worry about me. I will come to see you when you open the kiln." Master Xiong waved his hand, and left the workshop surrounded by the servants of Xiong's family as when he came.

   This can be regarded as a kind of support!

  Song Jiyun smiled, and Luo Zixing and others continued to observe the crater.

   Turn off the fire on the fifth day, and leave the kiln on the third day.

  Jingdezhen watched the bustle and surrounded a small workshop.

  Master Xiong, Chairman Ma, Master Yan and others were already waiting in front of the kiln.

  The kiln mouth was opened, and as the saggers were broken one by one, and the blue and white bowls and cups were carefully taken out from the sand, bricks and gravel, there were more and more exclamations.

   "This is already the tenth sagger, and I haven't seen any defective products yet, so they won't all be burned?"

   "How is that possible! The ones that come out now are all from the crater, and they must all be burnt well. The further you go, the more defective products will be."

   "Oops! Another box in good condition."

   "Someone burned out! One burned out!"

   When the defective product came out, the person who provoked it screamed loudly.

  Other people’s kilns are finished products, and theirs are defective products. This is the first time in Jingdezhen.

  Many people watched it, and couldn't help thinking in their hearts, laughing haha.

  In the entire dragon kiln, more than 4,700 pieces of porcelain blanks were placed, and more than 4,200 pieces were fired.

   "Oh my God!" There were cheers all around, "It burned so much."

   "How much does this cost?"

   "The Song family is going to be lucky this year! Whatever you do, you can do it!"

   Occasionally, there were a few excited voices: "Get rich! Get rich! Only eleven bowls were burnt out."

  Some people regretted: "I told you to burn a few more pieces, but you refused. What should we do now? Boss Song said that this year only this kiln will be fired."

   There were more congratulatory voices: "Boss Song, that's amazing! Green out of blue is better than blue!"

  Song Jiyun accepted everyone's congratulations with a smile, and invited Master Xiong and others to the celebration banquet.

  Master Xiong and the others were not polite, and we all went to Taohuaju together.

  During the dinner, Mr. Xiong specially toasted Song Jiyun with a glass of wine, and praised her: "Women don't give up to men."

  Everyone laughed and said, "You're picking up people's teeth! When our county magistrate first came to Liang County, he praised Boss Song for 'women don't give up to men'."

  Master Xiong laughed haha, didn't take it seriously, and said boldly: "I don't study much, so how can I compare with the county magistrate?"

  When he left, he still walked with Master Yan.

  Song Jiyun didn't take it seriously, she was still waiting to go home to celebrate with Qian and the others!

  *

  Peach Blossom House was originally the property of the Hong family, and Song Jiyun held a celebration banquet there, so the old man Hong naturally knew about it immediately.

   "Is it true that more than 4,200 pieces were burned in one kiln?" He asked the big butler of the Hong family who had gone to see the excitement.

  The butler nodded repeatedly, still a little excited when he remembered the scene, and said: "I'll figure it out, their family can earn at least one hundred thousand taels of silver in this kiln."

   Now that the Hong family has started to burn porcelain, they naturally know how profitable it is. Even so, Old Master Hong couldn't help but gasped.

He pinched his beard and muttered: "The eldest son has reached the age of marriage, right? I remember that there are two young ladies in the Song family. Although the age difference is a bit big, the eldest son is one of the best in Liang County." .”

  The big housekeeper understood, nodded repeatedly, praised Mrs. Hong's good idea, and said: "Look, should I invite the official media or the private media? Our house has indeed lost a young lady who presides over the media."

Mrs. Hong smiled and said: "No hurry, no hurry. To marry a wife and a virtuous person, Boss Song is a talented person. I have to inquire about Miss Song. In the future, I will have to rely on his elder brother and sister-in-law to take care of my son's education. My sister-in-law is too shrewd. Not a good thing either."

   "Don't dare to be hard work!" The head housekeeper said a few words modestly, "It's still the old man who is thoughtful. You will leave this matter to me."

  The butler went to Liangyu Kiln Factory, and asked about Song Tao and Song's family in a circumstantial way.
