Enter the room 2

Chapter 181
Song Jiyun is busy with opening the dragon kiln during this time, 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."

"That's all for yourself!" Song Jiyun didn't want to make 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 concerns: "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 scary 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 of the crater sometimes becomes the place of the tuyere.

Xiang Yang chuckled twice.

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

"Then which section should be given to them?"

"All in all, if there are too many finished products, it's easy to say anything. If there are too few finished products, nothing is right." Xiang Yang sighed, "Why don't you agree to them?"

Everyone, you and I have no conclusion.

In the end, it was Song Jiyun who said: "Let's put them into the kiln according to the number of pieces. However, as I said before, if it can't be fired, it can be fired, and everyone will live in their 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 took a look, 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 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.

There is neither a date nor an 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, it will be easy for us."

Luo Zixing didn't speak.

After handing in this batch of orders, there will be the next batch of orders.

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

The risk is too great.

A few people stood by the kiln, and the kiln workers carrying firewood worked day and night.

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

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 him again and again, and invited Mr. 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 just like 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 excitement and surrounded a small workshop.

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

Opening the kiln mouth, 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, so they must all be burnt well. The further you go, the more defective products will be."

"Oops! Another box in good condition."

"Someone's burned out! One's burned out!"

When the defective product came out, the people who provoked it shouted loudly.

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

Many people watched it, and couldn't help but think in their hearts, and laughed.

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

"Oh my god!" Cheers were all around, "So much has been burned."

"How much does this cost?"

"The Song family will be lucky this year! You can do whatever you want!"

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 we will only burn this kiln."

More congratulations: "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 offered a glass of wine to Song Jiyun, and praised her: "Women don't give way 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 way 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 Residence 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.

"It's true that more than 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 10 taels of silver from this kiln."

Now that the Hong family has also begun 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 housekeeper understood, nodded repeatedly, praised Mrs. Hong's good idea, and said, "Look, am I going to 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. My sister-in-law is too shrewd. Not a good thing either."

"Don't dare to be hard work!" The head steward 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.
