Enter the Room

Chapter 181

Song Jiyun was busy opening the dragon kiln during this period, so he had no time to pay attention to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang actually ran to the Song family 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: "There are rumors in Jingdezhen now that Li Zixiu is cunning and cunning, and he will plot against anyone who does better business than him. From now on, when everyone sees people from the Li family, they must take a detour."

"It's just your own fault!" Song Jiyun didn't want to make any judgments on this. She was more concerned about how to calculate the wages for the small workshops who wanted to use their dragon kilns to make porcelain.

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

Luo Zixing had other worries: "Whether porcelain can be made depends not only on the temperature of the fire, but also the location of the place, the distance from the fire, and the size of the sagger. Originally, we let them sit on top of each other to burn it as a favor, but we were afraid that the finished product would be finished by then. Not much, they felt we kept the good position to 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 will blow that day?"

The place where the fire comes out sometimes becomes the place where the wind comes out.

Xiang Yang laughed twice.

Gu Qing said: "Or we can allocate a section to them and let them arrange it themselves?"

"Then which section should be designated for them?"

"In short, if there are many finished products, everything is easy to say. If there are too few finished products, nothing is right." Xiang Yang sighed, "Why not agree to them?"

Everyone, you and I don't have a final conclusion.

In the end, Song Jiyun said: "Let's put them into the kiln according to the number of pieces. However, in the front, whether it is fired or not, everyone is at peace with their destiny."

Everyone said nothing and went separately to discuss the matter with the small workshop that had contacted them.

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

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

Much less than she expected.

It can be seen that everyone is still doubtful about whether she can fire a dragon kiln.

Song Jiyun said hello to the bosses of each workshop.

Because everyone was firing blue and white this time, she designated positions and asked their respective sagger masters to fill the boxes and fill the kiln.

After the Song family's porcelain blanks were installed, Song Jiuyun started the kiln the next day.

Neither the day nor the auspicious time was chosen.

Luo Zixing said: "You are very generous!"

Song Jiyun smiled and said, "What else? The kiln factory's orders are so piled high. Once this kiln is fired, it will be easy for us."

Luo Zixing said nothing.

After handing in this batch of orders, I still have the next batch of orders.

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

The risk is too great.

Several people were guarding the kiln, and the kiln workers carrying firewood worked day and night.

On the way, the Xiong family sent firewood to their home.

This time it was Mr. Xiong who came in person.

He asked Song Jiuyun with concern: "How is it? Is there still enough firewood for burning? The pine trees I asked them to pick for you are all old pine trees that are more than ten years old and have a lot of oil."

Song Jiyun thanked him again and again, and invited Mr. Xiong to dinner.

"You're busy with your business, don't worry about me. I'll come back and take a look when you open the kiln." Mr. Xiong waved his hand and left the workshop just like when he came, surrounded by the stewards of the Xiong family.

This can be considered a kind of support!

Song Jiyun smiled and continued to observe the fire mouth with Luo Zixing and others.

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

The small workshop in Jingdezhen was packed with people watching the excitement.

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

When the kiln entrance was opened, as the saggers were broken one by one, and the blue and white dishes and cups were carefully taken out from the sand and bricks, there were more and more exclamations.

"This is already the tenth sagger. I haven't seen any defective ones yet. Isn't it all burned?"

"How is that possible! The ones coming out now are all from the fire mouth, so they must have been burned well. The further you go to the back, the more defective products you have."

"Oops! Another box in perfect condition."

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

When the defective products came out, people actually started shouting loudly.

Others count the finished products when they come out of the kiln, while theirs counts the defective ones. This is the first time this has happened in Jingdezhen.

Many people saw it and couldn't help but think to themselves, laughing.

More than 4,700 porcelain blanks were placed in the entire Long Kiln, and more than 4,200 pieces were fired.

"Oh my God!" cheers were heard all around, "so many of them were burned."

"How much money do you have to make from this?"

"The Song family will have great luck this year! Whatever you do will come true!"

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

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

There were more congratulations: "Boss Song, you are so awesome! It is better to be better than someone who is better than someone who is inferior!"

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

Mr. Xiong and others were not polite, and they all went to Taohuaju together.

During the dinner, Mr. Xiong specially offered Song Jiyun a glass of wine and praised her: "Women are not inferior to men."

Everyone laughed and said, "You are being clever! When our county magistrate first came to Liang County, he praised Boss Song that 'women are not inferior to men'."

Mr. Xiong laughed heartily, didn't take it seriously, and said boldly: "I have little education, how can I compare with the county magistrate."

When leaving, he still walked with Mr. Yan.

Song Jiyun didn't take it to heart. 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. Song Jiyun held a celebration banquet there, and Mr. Hong naturally knew it immediately.

"Really more than 4,200 pieces were fired in one kiln?" he asked the head butler of the Hong family who came to see the excitement.

The chief steward nodded repeatedly, still a little excited thinking of that scene, and said: "I have calculated that their family can earn at least one hundred thousand taels of silver from this kiln."

Now that the Hong family has also begun to make porcelain, they naturally know how lucrative it is. Even so, Mr. Hong couldn't help but take a breath.

He pinched his beard and muttered: "The eldest son has now 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 chief steward understood, nodded repeatedly, praised Mrs. Hong for this good idea, and said: "Look, should I invite the official media or the private media? We are indeed short of a young lady in the house to host the middle-level feed."

Mr. Hong said with a smile: "No rush, no rush. Marry a virtuous wife. Boss Song is a talented person. I have to find out how Miss Song is doing. From now on, Zhao'er will have to rely on his brother and sister-in-law to take care of him when he studies. The sister-in-law is too shrewd and powerful. It’s not a good thing either.”

"I don't dare to take it as hard work!" The chief steward said a few words modestly, "Old lady, you are still thoughtful. You will take care of this matter on me."

The chief steward went to Liangyu Kiln Factory and asked Song Tao about the Song family in a subtle way.
