This Second Male Lead Has Something Special

At this moment, many people seemed to be dreaming. If it weren't for what Su Lin was holding in his arms, their first reaction would definitely be disbelief.

Over the years, apart from being a place for children to play, no one has ever been able to successfully burn a kiln. Some people tried out of curiosity, but in the end they all ended in failure.

Over time, they all concluded that these cave dwellings were of no use.

But now, someone suddenly told them that the cave dwelling they thought was abandoned was actually still usable, and that once the kiln was opened, it could produce pottery worth more than ten yuan.

this……

Think about it, how long has it been since Su Lin came to the brigade?

It only lasted for more than a month. They thought that Su Zhiqing had taught the people in the village bad things. He only played around every day instead of doing any serious work. Not many people sympathized with Lianzi and therefore blamed Su Zhiqing, although they did not say it in front of Su Zhiqing. What bad words, but I often said them in front of other villagers.

Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Likewise, they once again envied Liang Pan and her son.

Look, a relative who came suddenly has such a great skill. Although there is no kiln-burning factory in their town, there is one outside. If Su Zhiqing teaches this skill to Lianzi, wouldn't Lianzi be able to do it? Going to work outside as a worker?

For them, an iron rice bowl is the most amazing thing, and even a temporary job is the envy of countless people.

The existence of Su Zhiqing gave them hope.

At this moment, Su Lin spoke again: "Grandma Bai, Lianzi said that you took good care of him when he was a child. If there is a shortage of bricks this time, just say, I will take Lianzi to burn them. No need to waste anything." effort."

Grandma Bai was a little stunned.

Are bricks that good?

In the early years, Liang Pan's family had no one, and she couldn't take care of her children when she had to go to work. She felt soft-hearted and brought her young Lianzi over to take care of her. She never thought that this soft-heartedness would be repaid like this today. A big gift.

Isn't it a big portion?

What do bricks represent? It represents a home.

She really couldn't spend so much money to buy bricks. Even if she rebuilt her house in the end, it would be nothing more than a mud-roof house or a thatched house, regardless of spring and autumn. How could she, an old woman and a little girl, survive the cold winter? ?

But even if she knew, there was nothing she could do.

There were so many people in the brigade, and some of them were in worse conditions than hers. She couldn't shamelessly ask the brigade to borrow money to build a house, even if the brigade agreed, she couldn't lose face.

But……

Grandma Bai was choked with sobs and held Su Zhiqing's arm, not knowing what to say.

"Grandma, don't worry, I will bake the bricks for you." Liang Lian, who was a few steps slower, also walked over. At this time, like Su Lin, he was holding some pottery in his arms.

Thirty-six types of pottery were fired this time, including large pots and small dishes. However, since it was the first time I tried it, there were some damaged items. Apart from these, there were still twenty-nine items.

Liang Lian went over to discuss with his brother. After seeing his brother nod, he then said to Grandma Bai: "Your house collapsed like this and the things inside should be useless. I happen to have a few more here." It’s damaged, if grandma doesn’t mind, just take it and use it.”

It's not that he broke it on purpose, but he knew that if he gave it to his grandma in good condition, he would definitely not accept it, but the damaged ones were different. There were some small chips on them, but they definitely didn't hinder its use.

Besides, whose bowls and chopsticks are not damaged?

Unless it breaks in half, it must continue to be used.

Grandma Bai refused twice, but finally accepted it, hugging her little girl, the old and the young wiping tears, but now is different from the beginning, now they have some expectations in their hearts.

Captain Liang continued to arrange follow-up matters. The autumn harvest was coming soon, and he would definitely not be able to spare time to help build the house. Grandma Bai and A Nian could only stay with other people's homes first, and then move back after the house was built.

After the arrangements were made, they asked about the kiln burning on the spot.

Not only was he concerned, other villagers were also curious, and they didn't care that it was time to eat soon, so they all stayed where they were.

Su Lin briefly explained the process of firing the kiln, and then added: "Because this is the first attempt, there are some deviations from the plan, but fortunately, the number of damaged items is within an acceptable range."

Wherever I can accept it, I am very satisfied.

Think about it, after more than twenty days of work, you can harvest twenty-nine new items of pottery. The two people have more than twenty yuan in total.

This is no worse than going to work in a factory outside.

Hearing this made people excited, but Su Lin added: "But the autumn harvest is coming soon. I have to stop exploring first and wait until the autumn harvest is completed before continuing."

"No, if you continue to burn the kiln, you will still get ten work points." Captain Liang said, and he looked at the others, "I think everyone has no objection, right?"

"Of course not!"

"You should be given ten work points."

"Su Zhiqing, if you are busy over there, just ask. There is no shortage of people in the team who can do the work. Just give us a call and we will definitely come over and help you."

Who would say no?

That's brick making and pottery making.

Even if they don't plan to rebuild a house now, they will in the future. If they buy it outside, the price will be extremely high, and they will have to hire someone to move it back piece by piece.

But if Su Zhiqing can really burn it, not to mention getting it from him for free, the price will definitely not be too high. Then the people in their team will take advantage.

Calculating it this way, ten work points are really not high at all.

"Su Zhiqing is indeed a scholar, and he can actually burn a kiln."

"I said Su Zhiqing looks smart. I hope my child will be like him in the future."

"Oh, yesterday you clearly... umm."

"Pah, umm, umm, I didn't say anything yesterday." She covered the mouth of the person next to her, fearing that he would continue to say something that Su Zhiqing would not like.

Not only yesterday, before seeing Su Zhiqing appear with pottery, there were still people sighing about what Su Zhiqing did.

Even if it was not too unpleasant, it was not good either.

However, it was also their fault for being blind. Su Zhiqing was not lazy at all. He was obviously doing something greater.

Su Lin listened, with a smile on his face. Being praised by so many people, he did not show any arrogance at all, and continued to be humble, "I just knew a little about it before, but I didn't expect it to be successful. But since Captain Liang said so, I will continue to stay in the cave. Thank you all for the hard work of autumn harvest."

It's not that he is playing tricks, but asking him to go to autumn harvest will really waste half his life.

Besides, firing a kiln is also a serious matter. Everyone has their own specialty, and everyone just needs to work hard.

Su Lin continued: "Captain, can you give me two more people? I really can't do this kind of thing by myself."

"Of course no problem, as long as they are from the team, you can pick any one and you will get ten work points." Will Captain Liang refuse? Of course not.

Even if there is no work point, not only he but also other villagers are eager to help.

Why?

That's firing a kiln. Working with Su Zhiqing, you may learn some skills, and you may have great luck in the future with this skill.

Thinking of this, they all raised their hands.

However, Su Lin already had candidates in mind, one Liang Lian and one Zheng Jun. Both of them worked very hard and completed the tasks assigned to them very well. These two helpers were enough in the early stage, and we will talk about it later.

The news of firing a kiln spread on the same day.

Almost everyone's topic was inseparable from Su Lin, including the educated youth's room.

"So he's burning a kiln."

"He's so amazing, he can actually burn a kiln."

"According to the captain, he will only be responsible for the work of the cave in the future, and he won't have to work in the fields anymore."

"That's great, the autumn harvest will start tomorrow, and it will be so busy again."

Most people were amazed and envious of Su Zhiqing, but some of them lowered their heads and pondered something.

Since Su Lin can rely on his own ability to gain a foothold in the brigade, he doesn't have to do irrelevant farm work like them every day, which is exhausting and completely consumes the fighting spirit before.

I didn't think there was anything wrong before.

After all, it's not just them, all the educated youth are like this.

But Su Lin's arrival seems to have created a choice for them.

Su Lin can get the brigade's praise by burning a kiln, and thus do something that benefits the people and himself, so can they do the same?

Fan Shan frowned, thinking about what he could do.

After all the calculations, he suddenly found that except for having studied a few more years than the people in the brigade, he seemed to have no other advantages over the villagers in the brigade.

He didn't have a strong body, and before coming here, he didn't know how to farm, and he couldn't even tell what kind of food was planted in the fields.

What about lofty ambitions? It was clearly a drag on the villagers.

Sighing softly, he really couldn't find his strengths. Fan Shan thought that he would ask Su Zhiqing for advice when he had a chance. He seemed to have a lot of ideas.

The autumn harvest season was really hard.

Not to mention people who had never suffered such a loss, even farmers who worked in the fields all year round might not be able to bear it.

Su Lin avoided such a tiring job, but he didn't slack off.

The pottery was successfully fired, and he planned to fire bricks next.

To be honest, firing a kiln is not an easy job.

They didn't have any integrated tools, so they had to do everything by themselves from the beginning of modeling. Mixing the clay was also a strenuous job. Fortunately, there were two young men around him to help.

"Brother, you take a rest first, we'll do the rest." Liang Lian stirred the mud with a stick, using a lot of strength, and his hands were bulging with blue veins.

Zheng Jun, who was next to him, chewed candy and nodded happily: "Yes, yes, just tell us if you have anything, but don't do it yourself."

If Su Zhiqing really wanted to do it, how could he grab the work?

If he couldn't grab the work, how could he have the nerve to ask Su Zhiqing to give him snacks?

So, Su Zhiqing not working meant that he could have more snacks!

Unfortunately, there were too few people to help, and they wanted to rush to make a batch of bricks. The bricks needed to build a small courtyard were not a little bit. If they wanted to burn them after the autumn harvest, it would not be enough to open a cave.

The three of them were busy for more than 20 days, opened three caves and burned a total of several thousand bricks.

This is still a long way from being enough for building a house.

But the house can't be built in a short time, and the amount is enough for the initial stage.

Grandma Bai is not a person who likes to take advantage of others. Although she didn't tell the price of these bricks at the beginning, if it was someone with a small mind, she might have directly recognized that it was a gift to her, but Grandma Bai was not like that. She took the time to ask, and finally took out her savings from the bottom of the box.

It wasn't much, but it wasn't too little. She directly stuffed the scattered bills into Su Zhiqing's hands, "I took advantage of you anyway, but these are all I can take out now. After the food is divided, Grandma will give you some more."

"Grandma, I really can't take this money." Su Lin returned the money. He was not pretending to refuse, but he really couldn't take it. If he took the money, it would be speculation, and it would be taking advantage of the brigade's loopholes and using the brigade's assets to create benefits for himself. Wouldn't other people scold him to death?

Doing business in this era is unrealistic, Su Lin didn't plan to get rich by relying on the cave.

In other words, he didn't plan to get rich because of the cave, but to lead the whole brigade to live a good life.

He couldn't do business in his own name, but it was not impossible in the name of the brigade.

He could set up a brick factory or pottery factory in the name of the brigade, and he could take one of the positions and make a living on the salary.

He felt at ease with this money in his hand, and there would be no problems.

As for whether to go into business in the future, that was a matter for the future.

Su Lin pushed the money over, "You shouldn't give me this money. The cave belongs to the brigade. The soil for burning bricks is also dug from the foot of the mountain. Even the firewood for burning the kiln is picked up from the brigade. It's not appropriate for me to accept this money."

Even if he is to be paid, it should be Grandma Bai who gives the money to the brigade, and then the brigade distributes it to him. Only in this way can the money be obtained in a fair and aboveboard manner, and there is no fear of being pursued by people with ulterior motives.

Before opening the kiln again, Su Lin found Captain Liang and talked about the cave.

In fact, Captain Liang had considered it before Su Lin came. It was not because he was greedy for Su Zhiqing's craftsmanship, nor was he jealous that he could make money from it.

It was against the rules.

He could turn a blind eye, but it did not mean that everyone would do so. If one person reported to the higher authorities out of jealousy, Su Zhiqing would most likely be arrested and paraded or even sent to a farm for reform.

Captain Liang was thinking about having a good talk with Su Zhiqing in two days. It was okay to open the kiln, but some rules must be discussed.

But what he didn't expect was that before he found Su Zhiqing, Su Zhiqing came to his house first and discussed the rules.

Captain Liang had been listening carefully and was stunned.

He suddenly felt that the villagers in the team were right. Su Zhiqing was really a very smart person, not just knowing how to fire the kiln. He cleared his throat and said: "You mean, open a brick factory in the name of Liangjia Brigade."

Su Lin nodded.

Captain Liang was speechless, "If you really open a factory, you have to teach this craft to the factory employees. Have you thought about this clearly?"

If he knew how to fire the kiln, he would also pass this craft to the people in the team, because this is his hometown, and he wants the people in the team to live a better life.

But Su Zhiqing is different.

He is not from here. Even if he stays in Liangjia Brigade now, he will leave sooner or later.

Even if he doesn't open a factory to teach others, his life in the team will not be too difficult with this craft.

"I've thought it through, very clearly." Su Lin nodded heavily.

Captain Liang sighed. He did not persuade Su Zhiqing any more. He even decided that even if Su Zhiqing wanted to back down halfway, he would still pull him back.

It is not easy to set up a factory in the name of the brigade.

There are two most difficult points. First, setting up a factory requires funds. These funds will definitely not be provided by the team. Even if they are willing to bear the responsibility, they cannot take them out, so they have to ask the town for help, hoping that they can provide some funds for building the factory.

Another point is still the issue of funds.

After the factory is well run and the workers are well recruited, there must be money to pay the workers, right?

After all, before the bricks are sold, they don’t have a penny in their hands.

“It’s not easy to get money from the town, and the cycle is too long. It’s better to go through the procedures directly, and we will find a way to do the rest ourselves.” Su Lin said his plan.

Just think about it and you will know what the result will be if you ask the town for money.

Even if it really succeeds, it will probably take a long time, and the money obtained at that time may not be enough to set up a factory.

So it’s better for them to find a way themselves.

Although it will be more difficult, it can shorten the cycle, and when the factory is really established, the people in the town will have no reason to interfere with their factory, and the Liangjia Brigade will also get more praise.

"What do you think? There is some money in the public account, but this money is not enough to open a factory, and the money in the public account belongs to the entire brigade, I am not qualified to make a decision." Captain Liang frowned.

"Everything should be kept simple when running a factory." Su Lin curled his lips, "We don't have money, but we can barter."
