1.10 Geng's pottery
At the moment, door nails only serve to reinforce the door panel.
A large door is often made up of several boards, which can easily spread out over time. In order to avoid scattering, a few horizontal logs are placed in the door panel and reinforced with door nails. This is the reason why the middle door could not be opened before. Of course, the biggest reason is that it has not been opened for a long time, and the household hub is decaying.
Later, the door nails were made more and more neatly, horizontal and vertical rows, and the number of nails became a sign of rank.
Since the number of door nails at this time has not been linked to the grade, there is no risk of over-production. Simply found the tattered food dings, incense burners, and chopsticks from the house, and asked the third uncle to refine them into copper nails, and nailed them to the door in rows.
The weeds in the front yard have been cleared, and craftsmen are laying bricks on it.
Han bricks are very different from later generations. It is a portrait brick and is often used in burial chambers. In this era, the custom of burial of dignitaries and dignitaries flourished in the world. In the tomb, depending on the death into life, the yin house is like the yang, the pursuit of the unity of heaven and man, the integration of man and God, then carved the ring wall, in order to become a portrait brick.
It is obviously unlucky to use these bricks to pave the ground.
However, the little fat man has seen the bricks laid in his own toilet, and there are no portraits. So he ordered them to be bought, and spread them in the front yard.
There are many objections from the craftsmen, and they all say why not use bluestone?
The little fat man rolled his eyes, what is the price of bluestone?
Labor is too expensive!
Portrait bricks are expensive in portraits, and bricks without portraits are almost free at price. After asking, I found out that most of these bricks were left over from the owner's tomb......
The little fat man figured out one more thing, it turned out that the tomb was built first, and then carved.
Think about it, first set up the canvas before it is easy to paint. The tomb wall must have been built first, and then carved up! Is it possible to carve it first, and then play the puzzle piece by piece?
Not to mention, after the rows of nails in the courtyard door, although it took a little effort to open the door, the momentum was highlighted. When the ground in the courtyard was covered with bricks, the whole house suddenly became new.
Seeing that the craftsmen began to chisel and carve on the flat brick surface, the little fat man hurriedly stopped it.
Could it be that I really used my master's house as a cemetery!
I asked carefully, but I deduced that it was a temporary itch!
What, the dragon pattern in this era can also be used casually?
Well, engrave the ground of the master with a two-dragon play pearl!
The high base of the middle hall is heavy eaves, which is already wide, and the dragon pattern in the courtyard is suddenly extraordinary.
The wings on both sides have also been repaired, and the horizontal trees of the promenade have all been replaced, and the grass and trees have been widely planted around the railing...... There are so many that a piece of gold cake is quickly consumed. The backyard was completely uncared for. The little fat man gritted his teeth and spent a few more times, and removed all the stone roads in the backyard and replaced them with Han bricks.
The slate he has a great use.
for he will rebuild the hut.
First bury two half-person-high large wine urns deep in the ground, and the two urns are connected by bamboo tubes, the front urn opening is above the abdomen, the back urn opening is below the abdomen, and the bottom of the back urn also opens a bowl-sized mouth.
In this way, the double-urn septic tank was built.
The front urn is used for manure storage, septic. After sedimentation and fermentation, the faeces are basically eliminated and will not breed mosquitoes and flies, nor will they pollute the water source. After the fermentation of the former urn, the manure liquid flows into the rear urn for storage, if it is used for watering vegetables, the fertility is sufficient, and there is no pollution.
However, the little fat man didn't want his mother to dig up the feces once a year.
That's why a hole with a large bowl mouth was dug at the bottom of the back urn. In this way, the fertilizer water will slowly seep into the soil layer and will not accumulate at all. In order to drain the biogas, a bamboo pipe is placed in the back urn, which sticks out of the ground.
Because of the difference between men and women, two double-urn septic tanks were simply built.
Then the stone slabs are laid, and a gourd-shaped notch is carved out of the stone slab that blocks the mouth of the urn, and the toilet is completed when the toilet is installed.
The drawings of the toilet bowl have been designed.
I need to find a time to take a trip to the old crow.
The little fat man's hard work is seen by his mother. Seeing that he spends a lot of time on a few wine urns buried deep in the ground, I know that there must be a reason for it. So he didn't ask too much, and entrusted everything at home to the third uncle, and then accompanied him to Lao Yadu.
The mare is to nurse the foal and not to move lightly. I still rented the bullock cart of my relatives and slowly traveled westward.
At this time, it is easy to walk. A big road, as long as you figure out the general direction, you can always reach it. When I got off the bus at the fork and asked, I soon had a direction again.
Pottery is mostly made at the ferry. After asking, I learned that the pottery is cumbersome and easy to transport, and the soil needed for pottery making seems to have to be crossed from other places.
Lao Yadu is prosperous because of pottery, people come and go, and it is very lively. And Geng's workshop is a circle around the port, like a coiling dragon.
After asking, I found out that it was called a dragon kiln.
After inquiring about Geng's shop, the ox cart rushed straight over.
It's not Tao outside!
"This is ......" The little fat man looked and looked, touched and touched, this is clearly porcelain!
"Celadon porcelain." A young man of his age next to him smiled and was full of white teeth.
"Is there already porcelain...... the little fat man replied with a random salute, seeing that his expression had not yet recovered from the shock.
"Look at this vessel, the shape is atmospheric, it is integrated, and the carcass is heavy, the glaze is yellow in the blue, and it is a first-class product from afar." The young man shook his head and gave a thumbs up, immediately amusing the little fat man who was about to come back to his senses.
"Cut, sell and boast."
"Huh?" The young man was stunned, "How do you know this is my shop?" ”
"Isn't it embroidered on your placket?" The little fat man rolled his eyes.
"I see, I see." The young man laughed and said: "This little brother, when it comes to celadon, my Geng family is called second, and no one dares to call it first!" ”
"Really?"
"When 10,000 are true!" When business came to the door, the teenager couldn't help but be overjoyed. couldn't help but say, took the little fat man's hand and ran towards the store.
But when the little fat man slowly unfolded the hand-painted white silk, the young man was dumbfounded.
"What is this?" The boy was puzzled. He never remembered it.
"I haven't thought of a name yet, the point is that you can't do it." The little fat man asked with a smile.
"I'll go and ask my father to come." The boy did not dare to slack off.
The pattern painted on the silk was also the first time my mother saw it.
I couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" ”
"Commode." The little fat man replied casually.
"What's this big urn in the back?"
"Water tank."
"Why is the commode connected to the tank? Why is there a hole in the bottom of the commode? ”
"If there is no hole, how can the filth be washed away?"
"Rush away?" Mother wanted to ask why she didn't take it away? When he saw the shopkeeper come out, he stopped talking.
"Madame, childe, what have you made?" In this day and age, it is common to customize pottery to personal preferences, and even if the objects are novel, it is not surprising that the shopkeeper is not surprised. After all, the Geng family has been making pottery for generations, and there are many strange things to do.
"I haven't decided on a name yet, and I'm asking if you can make one." Liu Bei asked with a smile.
"The size has been marked on the white silk, so why is it difficult to find it according to the map?" The boss took a closer look and immediately put his mind at ease.
"Pottery geometry? What is the geometry of porcelain? ”
"There are three hundred texts for pottery, and three times for porcelain."
"Do you want to send the bucket ring?" The little fat man asked again.
"The wooden circle is simple, why not give it to you?" The shopkeeper replied with a smile.
"Let's make a pottery first." The little fat man thought for a moment.
"Yes."
After paying the deposit and making an appointment, the little fat man said goodbye to his mother and left. As soon as he went out, the previous boy chased after him: "You haven't told me what this thing is." ”
"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak." The little fat man smiled and blinked.
The ox cart slowly drove away, and the young man suddenly shouted loudly: "My name is Geng Yong!" ”
"Liu Bei!" The little fat man beckoned from afar.
