Enter the Room

Things turned out just as Song Jiuyun expected.

The Changjiang Gang opened an ancestral hall, and those who built dragon kilns for Song Tao Kiln Factory were expelled from the Changjiang Gang with three swords and six holes, and some had their hands and feet broken and thrown into the river.

And this time there was a big fuss.

The Changjiang Gang also used this to clean up the gang members. Many people were kicked out of the gang and the gang rules were reiterated. The entire Changjiang Gang was in a state of trembling and trembling, and all the major kilns felt their tension.

The boss of the Changjiang Gang even came to plead guilty to Song Jiuyun in person. Not only did he promise to give priority to building kilns for the Songjia Kiln Factory at all times, but he also sent two masters to station at the Songjia Kiln Factory and specialize in building kilns for the Songjia Kiln Factory in the future. .

Lulu kiln is the term. Usually refers to building and mending. Building usually refers to building a new kiln, while repairing refers to building a kiln after it has been fired. The kiln chamber usually suffers some damage. At this time, a skilled master is required to inspect the kiln. If cracks or damage are found, they must be repaired. , so as not to affect the next kiln firing.

But new construction is much more profitable than repairing.

Moreover, whether to build a new one or repair it and reuse it is decided by the kiln master.

They usually look at the food.

If the kiln is small and they have a good relationship with the owner, they will do their best to help repair it. If it is a large kiln factory and does not care about the money, they will advocate building a new kiln.

With these two masters permanently stationed in the kiln, how much trouble can be saved in the kiln!

Song Jiyun naturally accepted it happily and thanked him again and again.

I also gave the Changjiang Gang boss a pair of blue and white alum-red flowers that had just been baked.

A green bird falls on the red plum blossoms.

It is a rare three-color glaze.

The boss of the Changjiang Gang was extremely happy. Afterwards, he praised Song Jiuyun's kindness and righteousness to everyone he met. No wonder the county magistrate said that she was "a woman as good as a man."

When people in Jingdezhen talk about Song Jiyun, they will not say that she is "the owner of the Song family kiln factory", but "that boss Song who is not inferior to women".

But when the news reached the Hong family, Mr. Hong was very worried. He specifically asked Song Tao, "Will it affect the future production of the kiln?"

The dragon kiln has been ignited and started to burn.

Song Tao smiled and said, "What does this have to do with us? We just spent a lot of money to build a dragon kiln. Who knew they would betray you! We don't know what agreement they have with the Song family?"

She also told Mr. Hong: "I already know what is the key to building a dragon kiln? If it doesn't work, we invite people from outside to build the kiln. This can also ensure that this technology will always be in our hands."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Old Mrs. Hong was overjoyed and looked at Song Tao with even more satisfaction.

On the day when the dragon kiln was opened, Mr. Hong's face suddenly collapsed.

The yield is less than 40%.

Calculating this way, the most they can do is earn a hard-earned money.

Song Tao was even more shocked than Mr. Hong.

"How could this happen?!" Ignoring the lingering warmth in the kiln room, she picked up her skirt and got into the open kiln entrance, looking around.

Mr. Hong could no longer remain reserved. He poked his head at the entrance of the kiln: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Song Tao walked out with a sullen face, holding two broken saggers in his hands: "Look!"

Mr. Hong doesn't know much about porcelain.

He looked left and right and felt that the two saggers were more broken than the other, but other than being broken, he could not see any difference between them.

Song Tao pointed to the cracked mouth carefully and said: "The two saggers are different."

When firing porcelain, in order to protect the porcelain base and glaze from damage, the porcelain base will be placed in a ceramic box made of white clay. The thickness and soil quality of the box where the porcelain is placed will affect the porcelain contained in the sagger. The degree of heating of the billet and the yield.

Mr. Hong couldn't tell and felt guilty: "You mean..."

Song Tao didn't say this to embarrass Mr. Hong. She immediately said: "There are two kinds of saggers in the kiln room. One is what we are used to; the other is not suitable for the water and soil. It cannot be seen when firing at low temperature. Once it encounters When exposed to high temperatures, it will explode.”

Mr. Hong still didn't understand.

But he could understand what Song Tao meant.

It’s just that someone entered an inappropriate sagger.

"Is it because of this," he said gloomily, "that the yield of finished products from Long Kiln is not high?"

Song Tao nodded and said: "The porcelain blanks are being burned in the kiln room. The saggers protecting them are cracked. How can they be fired into porcelain?"

Mr. Hong looked ferocious, as if he could eat people.

Song Tao was so frightened that she took a step back involuntarily.

But when she looked over again, there was only anger on Mr. Hong's face.

"Check!" He said with a sinister look, "Check it for me! I want to see who is so bold as to mess with our Hong family!"

The head manager of the Hong family was stunned, immediately lowered his head and handed over his hands, respectfully saying "yes".

Song Tao sighed softly beside him and said: "What a pity! I don't know if I will hire the master who built the dragon kiln in the future."

Mr. Hong's expression turned even more ugly.

He sat on the imperial chair in the kiln factory's accounting room, waiting for the results of the investigation.

Soon, the source of the purchase of the saggers was found out.

It was the accountant who was sent to the accounting room by the Hong family who brought in the goods.

Mr. Hong couldn't believe his ears.

The accountant even cried out loudly and cried bitterly while holding Mr. Hong's lap, as if he were his own father: "Old man, I have been with you for almost twenty years, and there is no way I would do such a thing." Yes! You have to believe me!"

When Mr. Hong heard this, he was momentarily shaken.

Song Tao could see clearly and knew that Mr. Hong might have more trust in Mr. Hong than she thought.

She thought for a moment, then walked to Mrs. Hong and said, "Mr. Hong, I have a few words to say to you alone. Is it okay?"

Mr. Hong was displeased and said in a deep voice, "What can't you say here? Do you want to hide out and whisper?"

Bad tone.

Song Tao looked hesitant.

Mr. Hong snorted coldly.

Song Tao still hesitated again and again, and then said: "I believe Mr. Accountant is innocent."

Everyone was stunned.

Song Tao pondered: "This actually involves the secret recipe of jade porcelain!"

Mr. Hong was stunned.

Others even pricked up their ears.

Song Tao didn't mean to hide it, and continued slowly: "You may not know that jade porcelain is barely a low-temperature porcelain. It doesn't show up when we usually burn jade porcelain, but it cracks when we burn high-temperature blue and white porcelain - Mr. Accountant Maybe he was fooled too.”

People in the room looked at me and I looked at you. The accountant was the first to react.

He cried bitterly: "Miss Song San, you are really the reincarnation of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. You saved my life and restored my innocence. I really didn't sell out the kiln factory or the Hong family for a few stinky money!"

Mr. Hong was obviously not ready to forgive Mr. Accountant, but he could also clearly feel that he was relieved.

He patted Song Tao on the shoulder kindly and said, "Good boy, you are a sensible person."

He also made a decision at the same time: "They don't know how to make porcelain. Not only did they fail to help you here, but they actually hindered you. From now on, the kiln factory will be left to you."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone present with a majestic yet sharp look: "From now on, no matter what you do, you must ask Miss Song San first, and you must follow Miss Song San's instructions. Do you understand?"

"I know!" Everyone bowed in agreement.

Song Tao nodded, avoiding everyone's eyes and slightly curling the corners of his mouth.
