"Yo, is this a kiln that produces porcelain?"

Hearing the shout that shook the mountains and rivers, Wu Ming, who was holding a mobile phone, asked in surprise.

"Yeah, it's almost the end of the year. The factory has received several orders, all of which are porcelain as gifts during the company's annual meeting."

Hearing the men's shout, Zhou Qianqian was obviously very happy, and replied happily.

Li Shixin's attention was attracted by the shirtless old man in the lead who seemed to be about the same age as his ID card.

Seeing the old man opening the kiln with a sense of ceremony, Li Shixin patted Zhou Qianqian beside him and asked;

"Who is this?"

"My grandfather, we have a lot of stakes in the Zhou Family Porcelain Factory!"

No wonder.

Watching the kiln workers from a distance open the seal of the kiln under the leadership of the old man, Li Shixin raised his hand with a smile.

"Go, go and have a look!"

Li Shixin has never seen firing porcelain, but in the memory inherited from the old man, there is a memory related to firing pottery.

Although pottery and porcelain have relatively large differences in production procedures, the principles of the two things are similar.

All ceramic green bodies are put into the kiln to seal the kiln and ignite, and then fired and cooled.

This process is quite long and demanding.

Take the pottery kiln that Li Shixin once saw when he was sent down. A group of kiln workers were required to burn for more than ten hours without interruption to heat the kiln, and it would take one to two days to cool down after finishing the work.

During this whole process, people do not know the situation inside the kiln. Until the moment when the kiln is opened, it is not possible to see whether the labor of several days or even more than a month has achieved results, or how much has been achieved.

Led by Zhou Qianqian, Li Shixin and a group of old fans walked to the kiln. Looking at the busy kiln workers with apprehensive faces, they thought to themselves that craftsmen are all the same in the world.

"grandfather!"

A group of people approached, and Zhou Qianqian called out crisply.

The old man, who was holding a cigarette pot and pointing the young and strong to start the kiln, first got angry when he heard his granddaughter's voice;

"Qianqian, how many times has grandpa told you that no women are allowed in the kiln when it is in operation. This is the rule!"

But seeing his granddaughter pursed her mouth, and seeing outsiders around, the old man's voice softened again.

"Besides, opening a kiln is the work of rough men. You, a girl, come here, and what should you do if you bump into it? Don't be an example!"

"oh!"

Responding with a grin, Zhou Qianqian turned around and waved to Li Shixin and others, pointing to the cave dwelling and chirping to introduce;

"It's most interesting to open a kiln to see porcelain. After firing, only the porcelain with a regular carcass, uniform glaze color, glaze texture, and positive glaze color can be considered top-grade. Blue and white have high temperature requirements, and the conditions of the kiln are also critical. High, the finished product rate is the lowest among all porcelain. You will never know how many finished products are in a kiln until you open it."

Hearing the little girl's introduction, the old fans were very interested. But the eyes of a group of young generals lit up:

"Hey, isn't that the same as krypton gold smoking your wife?"

"That's right! It's just like that!"

Seeing the "you understand" smile on Zhou Qianqian's face, the teenagers immediately felt that a common language came up.

The frolicking of a group of children made Old Man Zhou shake his head.

"Grandpa Yaoshen, don't talk nonsense."

"Master, open!"

It was at this moment that a man in his thirties yelled loudly.

"Out of porcelain!"

The old man patted his granddaughter on the head and returned loudly to his disciples.

Although it had been cooled for a few days, men carried out pieces of porcelain with different shapes in the cave dwelling where heat was still coming out when the kiln mouth was opened.

After leaving the dark cave, the moment the first batch of porcelain was placed at the entrance of the kiln, the cigarette pot in the old man's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ah this."

"how so?!"

The kiln workers let out a burst of exclamation.

In fact, not only the kiln workers, but even the old fans, who are completely laymen, also saw that the state of this batch of porcelain was not right.

"Oops."

Suddenly, there was a sound of sucking air in front of the kiln mouth.

Standing in the crowd, Li Shixin was also taken aback.

I saw those porcelains placed at the entrance of the kiln. Although all of them were beautiful in shape and exquisitely drawn, their colors were indescribably weird!

The porcelain, which should have been crystal clear and bright, was covered with gray spots. It seems to be a smoky gray streamer, covering the porcelain.

Seeing such a scene, the smile on Zhou Qianqian's face froze.

"Smoking. It's over."

Before the kiln mouth.

Seeing a whole kiln of discolored defective products, Zhou Pingyu took a deep breath on the cigarette in his hand.

But even after smoking a third of a cigarette in one breath, the wrinkles on his forehead showed no sign of stretching.

After rubbing and inspecting all the porcelain over and over again, he threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, and then took out another one from the cigarette case and lit it.

On the side, are all the workers in the factory.

Facing such a finished product, everyone can only be silent.

"Fucking, you know it! You are in charge, so you have to say something!"

In the silence, Zhou Pingyu's wife Cai Cuihong complained loudly.

Seeing the proprietress showing off her power, a group of kiln workers tactfully stepped aside.

"This batch of goods was ordered by others, waiting for the rewards at the annual meeting. It's good now, all smoking. How can I deliver these goods?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Otherwise, we'll rush over here and try to get out before delivery."

Seeing Zhou Pingyu's frowning expression, a kiln worker persuaded him embarrassingly.

"It's easy to say! Do you think your sister-in-law is in the factory for the first time? Even if the big guys don't sleep, it will take at least three days? Burning? Drying? It doesn't take a week to get out? They will use it in four days, so what do you use to hand in the work? What do you think should be done for a bill of more than 100,000 yuan?"

"Noisy, noisy! You know it's noisy! Besides noisy, what else would you do?"

The woman's nagging completely angered Zhou Pingyu, who was resentful.

He put the bottle in his hand on the ground, slammed the cigarette hard, and widened his eyes.

"What else would I do? This order is brought back by my mother. What do you think I will do?! There is a problem with the kiln, and the porcelain has smoked. Blame me? Zhou Pingyu, are you still a man?"

Zhou Pingyu's wife is obviously a pungent one. Facing Zhou Pingyu's anger, she directly pinched her waist and retaliated.

"You don't do business every day. When you are the president of Lao Shizi, you talk about industry every day, but you keep upgrading. The leaders in the city have offended half of you and annoyed you half to death. How much have you been involved in the affairs of the factory this year? From production to sales, Isn’t it all me and Dad? Do you know that dozens of workers point to this batch of goods to pay their wages during the Chinese New Year? Do you know that there have been such a few fat jobs in the factory in the past two months? If there is a problem, if they really want you to pay, do you know that these two months have been for nothing? Why are you so fierce with my old lady?"

The more Cai Cuihong talked, the more aggrieved she became, and tears came down as she spoke.

In the end, he was not cruel anymore, and directly wiped away his tears and stomped his feet.

Regardless of Zhou Pingyu's anger and embarrassment, she directly waved to a young man beside her.

"little six!"

"Oh, aunt."

"Don't just sit and watch the excitement, go to Porcelain City with Dayong and Xiaohui. Follow the samples on this batch of orders, find similar ones and buy them back. No matter how much it costs, this order cannot be ruined."

"ah"

Facing Cai Cuihong's instruction, the young men were taken aback.

"Ah! Got it, let's go now!"

"I'll see who dares to go!"

But at this time, Zhou Pingyu, who had been sullen, quit.

"The Zhou family has been making porcelain for more than a hundred years in JDZ. Now that there is a problem and they go out to buy it, do you want to lose face? I can't afford to lose this person! Xiao Liu, go call the customer and say Porcelain can’t be delivered. If they are willing to wait, they will wait. If they are not willing, the order will be compensated according to the contract!”

"Master, that's three times."

"You didn't listen to what I said, did you?"

"well"

Seeing that her husband was decisive at this time, Cai Cuihong's angry tears fell down like beads with a broken string.

"My old lady is really blind to marry you!"

Stomping her feet bitterly, the woman turned her head and walked down the hillside.

Seeing the internal strife in the Zhou family, Li Shixin sighed.

Craftsmen, it's hard.

Thinking of this, he silently turned on his phone, and sent the photos of the entire process from the embryo-making workshop to the kiln failure that he took today to his Weibo.

Since the Bazaar Charity Night, Li Shixin's Weibo has not been updated.

But although the old man no longer called the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, the bloody wind of four billion blue and white flowers still reverberated in the rivers and lakes.

The very popular Weibo comment area, with Li Shixin's post with a picture, boiled up!
