Chapter 164

Yuan Yunzhong really didn't have eyes to look, and said: "Look at the face of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva."

Bodhisattvas in some places are carved in stone, in some places they are carved in wood, and in some places they are carved in clay.Because Jingdezhen is rich in porcelain, not only everyone in the local area has a job, but also supports many foreigners who come to work here. The pilgrims are extraordinarily generous and willing to donate sesame oil money.

The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva statue in Baxian Temple is carved out of stone, and the face of Avalokitesvara is still carved in white marble.

It has a compassionate expression, and looks down at the sentient beings with a smile on the corner of its mouth. Its kind face glows faintly in the slightly translucent hall, making it look extraordinarily fair.

Song Jiyun looked up, and the Bodhisattva's face seemed to be coated with a layer of light, like glaze.

She couldn't help but move in her heart.

A thought flashed through me.

"Yuan Yunzhong!" She couldn't help calling the names of the people around her, "You mean, you mean you want me to use jade porcelain to burn Buddha statues?"

Yuan Yunzhong's face, which had been cold for a long time, finally revealed a little bit of dismay, and said coldly, "Finally, I'm not so stupid yet."

Song Jiyun laughed haha, and suddenly felt that Yuan Yunzhong's cold and arrogant look was somewhat cute.

She didn't care what Yuan Yunzhong thought of her, knelt on the futon, put her hands together and bowed three times to the Bodhisattva, and said in her mouth: "Greatly Merciful and Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless my family's safety and auspiciousness, and bless Mr. Yuan All wishes come true, wish me all the best, and I will re-gild your body when the time comes!"

After finishing speaking, she said to Yuan Yunzhong, "I'll come when I go", and ran out without him.

"Come back!" Yuan Yunzhong called her back with a shout.

He pointed to the monks and pilgrims who were waiting not far away for the nuns of the Eight Immortals Nunnery to issue the "Cold Relief Notes".

Not a word was said.

Obviously Song Jiyun was asking to guess again.

Song Jiyun blinked his starry eyes, smiled and said with his hands behind his back: "I know, I know, I will burn it into Guanyin Bodhisattva, and I will send it to the Temple of Eight Immortals first."

Yuan Yunzhong nodded in satisfaction.

On the contrary, Song Jiyun was embarrassed to leave him here alone, as if she had used him and then left him.

She called Zheng Quan over and said, "Accompany Mr. Yuan to stroll around the Temple of the Eight Immortals. I remember that there is a shop that sells Su-style dim sum, and their osmanthus cake is very good."

Zheng Quan couldn't help but patted his head when he heard this.

Mr. Yuan, it's too difficult to get along with.

He really didn't know how to lead Mr. Yuan around.

But Song Jiyun had already left, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and made a "please" gesture to Yuan Yunzhong.

Yuan Yunzhong didn't even look at him, and said expressionlessly: "Call Shao Qing over, you don't need to accompany him."

Although it was very impolite, Zheng Quan felt as if he had received an amnesty after hearing this, and hurriedly ran to call Shao Qing.

Song Jiyun couldn't wait to get someone to inform everyone in the kiln that they would meet at the accountant of the Song family tomorrow morning.And she sat alone in the meditation room of the nunnery, looking at a foot-high stone sculpture of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva enshrined in the meditation room, and slowly calmed down.

She never felt that she was better than others by standing on the shoulders of giants. In history, I don’t know how many big cows have never been seen before or since.Everyone knows that Buddha statues are a big business, like sacrificial porcelain. If you can’t sell them this year, you can sell them next year. You will never worry about customers. But why are there few people in Jingdezhen who make Buddha statues?

Should be a technical issue.

Not very good to burn.

Song Jiyun, who wrote and painted at his desk, listed all the problems he might encounter, and planned to discuss it with Luo Zixing and others tomorrow.

It wasn't until the light in the room dimmed and Xiangzan came in to call her that she realized it was time to go back.

What she didn't expect was that Qian donated a large amount of sesame oil money to the Eight Immortals Nunnery, and even bought Buddha statues of many sizes from the Eight Immortals Nunnery.

It is a good thing to have a little sustenance, but it is not appropriate to put the focus of life on sustenance.

She smiled and pointed to the pile of Buddha statues, and said, "Mother, are you going to build a Buddhist hall at home?"

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Qian glanced at the abbot who was talking to Zhike, pulled Song Jiyun aside, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Yuan asked me to buy it, and said, let me remember the price clearly."

The little witty ghost Song Jixue added in a low voice beside him: "Eldest sister, brother-in-law even asked us to go outside to ask the prices of those Buddha statues!"

Is he doing market research for her?

Song Jiyun couldn't help looking at Yuan Yunzhong who was standing beside the carriage with a cold face.

He frowned slightly, waiting impatiently for them to get into the carriage.

When Song Jixue saw it, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother-in-law also bought me a sugar figurine, which is from the Eight Immortals."

Among all the pictures of sugar figures, the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is the largest and most expensive.

"That's good!" Song Jiyun patted Song Jixue's head and said with a smile, "Have you thanked Mr. Yuan?"

"Thank you!" Song Jixue blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law also praised me for being smart-I remember the price he asked me."

Does her sister have such talent?

Song Jiyun was slightly taken aback.

Song Jixue didn't notice her sister's expression, and continued excitedly: "Brother-in-law said, we are big pilgrims, and the Buddha statues sold to us by the temple must be more expensive than those sold to others. I'm going to bargain with the wise people in the temple. My brother-in-law refused. He said that we came to Baxian Temple to play, and the abbot of Baxian Temple received us personally. No one else was treated like this, because we paid more than others. Comparing..."

Yuan Yunzhong still told her these things? !

Song Jiyun was very surprised.

Her eyes fell on Yuan Yunzhong again.

*
The next day, several shopkeepers and master craftsmen of Songjia Kiln Factory came as agreed.

Hearing that Song Jiyun was going to use jade porcelain to burn Buddha statues, several master masters all fell silent in unison.

"What? I have difficulties, but I don't know how to tell me?" Song Jiyun smiled, and motioned to the maid beside him to refill the tea for everyone present.

Luo Zixing claimed that he was an old man when Song Youliang was there, and Song Jiyun usually respected him a lot, and he was the first to speak: "It's not like I didn't think about it when my old boss was here, but burning Buddha statues is different from other things, you have to make molds. There are not many people in Jingdezhen who can make molds, and even fewer people who can do well."

He paused when he said this, and continued with hesitation in his words: "This is one of them. Then there is the mud for jade porcelain, which has always been mastered by the old owner. If we make Buddha statues in large quantities, we don't know how to use mud. Is there enough food?"

Now that Song Tao has used it, Song Jiyun is not going to hide it anymore.

She smiled and said, "The clay for jade porcelain is nothing special. It was brought from Dehua, Fujian. If we want to fire a large number of Buddha statues, we should find a way to get a large amount of clay from Dehua."

Everyone was shocked.

Only the pile master Luo Zixing thought about it.

Song Jiyun took a sip of tea with a smile, and then said: "Everyone, find a way to find a mold maker! If it doesn't work, find a way to recruit people from Dehua!"

As for whether other kiln factories in Jingdezhen will smell business opportunities from it, it depends on everyone's ability.

She was not prepared to make so-called "jade porcelain" all the time.

After all, jade porcelain is porcelain fired at low temperature, and the color of the porcelain fired at high temperature in Jingdezhen is not as long-lasting.

This is also an important reason why her father only used jade porcelain to burn sacrificial porcelain instead of daily porcelain when her father was alive.

If the Songjia Kiln factory wants to do it for a long time, it will eventually go to the high-end market and return to high-temperature fired porcelain.
