Chapter 237 Dehua White Porcelain, Cousin Asks for Help (Please recommend, ask for a monthly ticket)
Lu Wenlong said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for so many years, Xiao Mu, you are not what you used to be now, not bad!"

Looking at his old-fashioned cousin, Lin Mu didn't have much emotion in his heart!
After all, things like feelings take time to manage!

Unless they are blood relatives, even relatives who have not seen each other for many years will feel strange!

However, when Lu Yufeng saw Lu Wenlong, the enthusiasm in his eyes couldn't be faked!
This is his own nephew!
"Wenlong is here, come in quickly, why are you here alone, where is your father?"

Lu Yufeng took Lu Wenlong's hand and kept looking behind him!
"Auntie, my dad was going to come, but there was a batch of urgent work, and he had to watch over it personally, and he couldn't get away at all, so let me come here by myself!"

There was a trace of sincerity in Lu Wenlong's smile.

Lu Wenlong still has a good impression of this little girl.

A trace of regret flashed in Lu Yufeng's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Okay, just come, you and Xiaomu haven't seen each other for a long time, you two talk more, I won't be here to accompany you!"

"Gu, you can do your work, I'll chat with Xiaomu for a while!"

Lin Mu looked at Lu Wenlong and asked, "Cousin, I remember that your family runs a porcelain factory, right?"

Dehua Lujia is a well-known porcelain enterprise!

Lin Mu's grandfather, Lu Zhiyuan, is a famous local porcelain firing master in Dehua.

Dehua porcelain has a long history.

Dehua porcelain is famous all over the world for its "China white", and Dehua has the reputation of "the mother of the world's white porcelain", "the world's white porcelain depends on China, and the Chinese white porcelain depends on Dehua".

Since the Song Dynasty, Dehua Porcelain has been an important export commodity on the "Maritime Silk Road", and is famous all over the world along with silk and tea.Dehua porcelain not only plays an important role in international trade, but also conveys the charm of Chinese culture to the world.

The production and production of Dehua ceramics began in the Neolithic Age, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and developed in the contemporary era. It has a history of more than 3700 years.

The iconic porcelain carving technique of Dehua Porcelain began in the Song Dynasty, and has never been interrupted, forming a unique traditional craft. The porcelain is warm and delicate, crystal clear, and the porcelain sculpture is exquisite, elegant and ingenious.

Lu Wenlong smiled slightly and said, "Yes, our porcelain factory is quite famous in Dehua, and your grandfather's ability to burn porcelain is a must. Unfortunately, your cousin and I are not talented enough to learn it." come!"

Lin Mu said with a smile, "What is cousin doing now?"

"Now, I am in charge of the sales of porcelain. In the past few years, the sales of our Dehua porcelain were pretty good. However, in recent years, a large number of porcelain factories have flocked to open, and many porcelain factories are viciously competing. As a result, the sales of porcelain have become worse now!"

Lu Wenlong's voice suddenly became low!
Lin Mu also frowned!

At that time, my grandfather opened the Lujia Porcelain Factory. With excellent technology, he soon became a leader in Dehua Porcelain.

The Dehua Lu family can be regarded as a well-known big family in the local area!

Although my grandfather's family is not bad, but puppet show has always been considered by some people as a low-level existence, so back then, the combination of my mother and father also suffered some twists and turns!
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why my father has never been to Dehua since he got married!

Lin Mu asked, "I heard from you just now that my uncle received a big business order, so he couldn't leave. Isn't that good?"

Lu Wenlong said with a wry smile, "What a big business, it's a big boss who wants to order a piece of porcelain from us and put it in his villa. It's true that he paid a lot of money, but especially the shape of the porcelain is too big. It’s too big, it’s not easy to burn, so my dad decided not to come, and hurried back to the factory to have a meeting with those old porcelain workers!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu asked curiously, "How big is the porcelain, why is it so troublesome!"

Lu Wenlong didn't say it directly, but asked, "You go to school in Beijing, have you been to Beijing Daxing Airport?"

I don't know why Lu Wenlong asked such a question, but Lin Mu still nodded!
Lu Wenlong said with a smile, "Since you have been to Daxing Airport, you should know about the Porcelain Garden there."

Lin Mu nodded slightly, that's true. Although he didn't fly many times, almost every time, he was at Daxing Airport.

Therefore, I am really impressed by the five sky gardens in Daxing Airport!

At the end of the five-finger corridor of the terminal building of Daxing Airport, five "sky gardens" are designed, namely the Silk Garden, Tea Garden, Porcelain Garden, Pastoral Garden and Chinese Garden. Porcelain, some are even more than five meters high.

Lin Mu thought for a while and said, "The porcelain in this porcelain garden should all be fired in Dejing Town!"

Lu Wenlong nodded slightly, and said, "Indeed, it was built by Dejing Town in cooperation with Daxing Airport to promote the Silk Road of our country. The big boss also visited this porcelain garden when he was flying. After that, I want to find someone to burn a five-meter-high Beaulieu Pillar and put it in my villa!"

Lin Mu couldn't help but gasped, the five-meter-high Beaulieu Pillar, this volume of porcelain, even if Lin Mu was a layman, he still thought it was quite scary!
Lu Wenlong continued, "Actually, this kind of large-scale porcelain is not willing to burn too much even in Dejing Town. After all, this kind of thing is really not profitable despite its large size. First of all, artificial The cost is high, just such a Beaulieu Pillar requires at least a dozen of us porcelain workers to work hard for at least half a year, and secondly, you cannot guarantee that the Beaulieu Pillar fired is free from flaws, even if it is the top porcelain worker. I dare to guarantee that each of my works is perfect!"

Lin Mu nodded slightly. Although he has no research on firing porcelain, it takes a little bit of time to fire the top porcelain that Lin Mu saw in the Forbidden City and other museums in the recording of "National Treasure". It's all about luck!

Just like what Chu Xuliang, a researcher at the Forbidden City, said, for every piece of porcelain that is fired, there are countless defective products of the same kind that are destroyed!

Lin Mu said disapprovingly, "Since it's so troublesome, don't take it!"

Lu Wenlong sighed, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and exhaled a puff of smoke ring, with a trace of loneliness on his face, he said bitterly, "Xiao Mu, you don't know, now due to the policy With the support, a lot of capital has entered this circle, and many big bosses have begun to use money to open the way. Some small-scale porcelain factories are now squeezed out and cannot survive. Our porcelain factory is also in jeopardy. So, there is such a job, no matter how difficult it is, you have to continue, after all, the workers in the factory have to eat!"

Lin Mu fell silent, as if he already knew the reason why Lu Wenlong came here this time!

Sure enough, Lu Wenlong pondered for a moment, and said with some embarrassment, "Xiao Mu, I also know that my grandfather said some unpleasant things to my uncle back then, which caused us to rarely communicate with each other, but we are relatives after all. Ah, there's no overnight feud, business has been difficult these two years, and your grandfather also fell ill, but it's not serious, so I didn't inform my sister-in-law."

Lu Wenlong took a deep look at Lin Mu, and said, "Xiao Mu, you are promising now, can you give our family a hand?"

Lin Mu looked at Lu Wenlong, with mixed feelings in his heart. For the grandfather's family, Lin Mu's father was full of grievances. As a son, he naturally stood on his father's side, but it was also uncomfortable for his mother to be caught in the middle!

As a junior, Lin Mu is not easy to accept this kind of thing, so he can only express to Lu Wenlong that he mainly depends on his parents' opinion on this matter!
Hearing this, Lu Wenlong was also embarrassed. He originally wanted to use the sign of family affection to get Lin Mu's help, but he didn't expect that Lin Mu's idea was quite right!
"Okay, I'll go and make amends to my uncle. This is because our old Lu family is sorry for you!"

Lu Wenlong's words were also resounding, Lin Mu suddenly saw a figure passing outside the house out of the corner of his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily!
……

Today is grandma's birthday.

In the yard, relatives and friends are already full, everyone is chatting loudly, eating melon seeds and peanuts, waiting for the banquet to start!
In the room, Lin Mu's grandma was sitting in the middle, and the whole family was sitting together, chatting about Lin Manshan's marriage, but Lin Mu was nowhere to be seen!
Lin Mu came to the temporary kitchen behind.

"Qi Ye, let me help you!"

This place is full of busy work, slaughtering pigs and sheep, peeling onions and garlic, all in a mess!

The chef standing in front of the stove is frying the ingredients in the big pot. Bowls of dishes are being cooked continuously, and they are ready to serve at any time!

Seventh Master, is the cousin of Grandpa Lin Mu, and a famous chef in the village. Whether it's weddings, celebrations or birthday events in the village, this Seventh Master basically takes the lead!
"Oh, Xiao Mu, it's a mess here, what are you doing here, get out!"

When Qi Ye saw Lin Mu, he put on a tiger face and wanted to drive him out!

However, Lin Mu said with a smile, "Master Qi, my skills are not bad. My grandma celebrates her birthday today, and you let me, a grandson, show off my filial piety!"

Hearing this, Qi Ye showed a deep smile on his face, nodded, and said, "Okay, it's rare for you to have such filial piety, but, can you use such a big stove?"

After all, this is a banquet, a temporary earthen stove, the diameter of the pot on the top is more than two meters, and the fire below is very hot.

It's not that Qi Ye underestimated Lin Mu, not to mention Lin Mu, even the top chefs of those big restaurants, if they haven't used this kind of stove, their craftsmanship will not be able to show it!

Lin Mu chuckled and said, "Qi Ye, don't worry, if I can't play it well, I'll just turn around and leave!"

"Hehe, you're being tough when you speak now, your Seventh Master, I admire your kung fu, but when it comes to cooking, you're not good enough!"

Seeing Lin Mu's arrogant appearance, Qi Ye laughed and cursed!
However, when Qi Ye saw Lin Mu's skillful action of scooping oil into the pot with the spoon in his hand, his eyes lit up immediately!
This kid has two hands!

The kitchen helpers around were basically people from the village. Seeing that the cook on the stove was replaced by Lin Mu, everyone came over curiously!

I saw the big spoon in Lin Mu's hand flying up and down, the color of the ingredients gradually changed in the cauldron, and the fragrance slowly emerged!
The relatives and friends who were chatting in the front yard suddenly stopped talking, raised their noses, and looked in the direction of the back yard curiously.

"Hey, what kind of dish is this? It's so fragrant. Has Yushan spent a lot of money this time?"

"Qi Ye's cooking skills are on the rise. This dish will make you want to smell it!"

"Mom, I want to eat, I want to eat!"

"Wait a while, you can eat it right away!"

Many people swallowed their saliva involuntarily, waiting for the banquet to begin!
In the house, Lin Manshan, a big foodie, also smelled a familiar smell, shrugged his nose involuntarily, stood up, and went out to the backyard!

Lin Yuefeng looked at his back with dissatisfaction, and said, "This kid is very steady, Siyuan, you have to help me discipline him a lot in the future!"

Chen Siyuan pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Uncle, I will!"

Lu Yufeng on the side joked, "You're still called Uncle?"

Chen Siyuan had long since lost that strong woman look, her face was flushed, and she whispered to the two old people, "Dad, Mom!"

The two old men couldn't see their eyes from laughing, such a good daughter-in-law, Lin Manshan really picked it up!
Following the scent, Lin Manshan came to the backyard, and saw a group of people around the stove, all salivating, everyone who watched wanted to drool!

Sure enough, the person standing in the position of chef is none other than his nephew Lin Mu!

Lin Manshan came over with a smile, saw the four dishes on the table, couldn't help swallowing, and said, "Xiao Mu, why did you cook yourself?"

Lin Mu said with a smile while easily "thumping" a cauldron weighing dozens of kilograms, "Grandma's birthday, how can I, as a grandson, not show my hand, uncle, help me out of the pot." Bring the dishes first, tell grandma, it will be ready soon!"

Lin Mu also looked at the group of people around him like wolves, really afraid that someone couldn't help but come up and grab all the food!

Lin Manshan was not too polite, and started directly, put the four fried dishes on a tray, held it steadily, and walked carefully to the front yard!
When passing by the front yard, the aroma of the three dishes made the elders sitting at the tables in front look over their heads!

A middle-aged man in his 50s shouted at Lin Manshan, "Manshan, what kind of food is so delicious?"

Lin Manshan didn't look back, and said directly, "My Xiaomu made this dish for my mother himself, so you don't have such a good fortune!"

After hearing this, everyone was surprised!

Lin Mu can actually cook, and it seems to be of a very high level!

After a while, Lin Mu also came over with some dishes.

The middle-aged man stopped in front of Lin Mu, looking curiously at the dishes on the tray!
It is really delicious in color and fragrance!
He couldn't help swallowing, and said, "Xiao Mu, you did all this?"

Lin Mu looked at him vigilantly, moved the tray a little farther, and said with a smile, "Uncle Qiang, this is what I cook for grandma!"

Uncle Qiang looked at Lin Mu in embarrassment, and said angrily, "You child, didn't I just ask? Can I still steal my aunt's food? Let's go!"

Lin Mu quickly took the tray and ran into the house in a hurry!
At this time, Lin Mu's father also came out, looked at Lin Mu with relief, and told him to go in quickly!

"My friends and relatives, today is my mother's [-]th birthday, everyone is welcome to come, eat and drink well, the banquet is now—"
