Chapter 36 The Kiln Entrance of the Guo Family
"Brother Dong, did you expose me when you just answered the question?" Shi Yuan walked off the stage and expressed his doubts to Dong Feng.
When Dong Feng heard Shi Yuan's question, he knew what Shi Yuan was hiding, so he smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Shi, I mean the answer was told to me by a friend......"
Shi Yuan knew in his heart that among the four of them, Guo Renjie was famous, and Bai Suzhen naturally knew him. And Xiao Lei's age is similar to Dong Feng, which can also be ruled out. Since Dong Feng said that it was said by a friend, then he was the only one left with him in the audience. In this way, Bai Suzhen must have known the answer she told Dong Feng......
"Brother Shi, you won't blame me, will you?" Dong Feng saw that Shi Yuan hadn't spoken for a long time, thinking that Shi Yuan was angry, he was nervous, and asked secretly.
"Not really...... With Bai Suzhen's chick intelligence, even if you didn't say it, she might also suspect me. And I am also very curious about this Bai Suzhen in my heart, so I will go on stage. Brother Dong doesn't have to think about it. Shi Yuan patted Dong Feng's shoulder and comforted.
"I think Brother Shi is not just curious, right? You have become the son-in-law of the Bai family! Guo Renjie laughed and said to Shi Yuan.
Shi Yuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "I made a mistake and fell into her trap...... Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously! ”
Guo Renjie said with a straight face: "This is Brother Shi, your mistake, just now Bai Lao said this in front of everyone, and ...... You tugged at other people's granddaughters, grabbed other people's crisp hands, and everyone in the audience saw it really. How can you say that now? ”
After Shi Yuan heard this, he didn't know how to explain it. I'm afraid that today's matter will soon spread all over Jinling, if Lin Yingyue knows about it...... Strange, how could Lao Tzu think of her? Is it a thief's heart? No, Lao Tzu didn't do anything hurtful......
"Brother Shi! Brother Shi...... What do you want? Dong Feng shouted a few times in a row, and Shi Yuan reacted and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing......"
"I think Brother Shi is thinking about how to explain it to others!" Guo Renjie said what Shi Yuan thought in one sentence.
"Explain? Explain to whom? Lao Tzu didn't do anything hurtful. Shi Yuan heard it, but his face was awe-inspiring, pretending not to understand Guo Renjie's words.
"I'm just casually talking, why should Brother Shi be so serious. Didn't Brother Shi go to our family's kiln just now? It's just like nothing is going on right now, so let's go over! Guo Renjie didn't say anything about breaking the stone, and said with a haha.
As soon as Shi Yuan heard Guo Renjie's words, he remembered what was going on, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." I am just going to ask Brother Guo to take me to the kiln of your house today, I don't know if it is inconvenient. ”
Guo Renjie laughed when he heard Shi Yuan's words: "What's inconvenient about this?" I just don't know what Brother Shi is going to do at the kiln entrance of our house? ”
Shi Yuanjian finally changed the topic, and everyone stopped talking about the matter of choosing a son-in-law just now. Only then did he speak: "Of course it's a good thing. Brother Guo took me to know. ”
"Good thing? Since Brother Shi said that it was a good thing, it seems that he must go! Let's go! It just didn't go far. Guo Renjie said, and walked forward. Shi Yuan and Dong Feng hurriedly followed, and Xiao Lei also followed closely behind the two.
"By the way, Brother Shi, how did you answer that question just now?" Dong Feng asked Shi Yuan as he walked.
"Damn, this kid really can't open any pot!" Shi Yuan said secretly in his heart. "I said I didn't know. ”
"Don't know? What is the answer? Dong Feng looked puzzled, but when he saw Shi Yuan's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying...... "Then, what did that Miss Bai family say?" Dong Feng continued to ask.
"The chick? What can she say? I said I didn't know. ”
"But ......"
"Nothing, I don't know!" Shi Yuan looked like a scoundrel. Guo Renjie in front and Xiao Lei in the back couldn't help laughing......
A few people walked while talking, and after a while, they arrived at the mouth of the kiln where the Guo family burned porcelain. Shi Yuan looked at it, and the scene in front of him was a bit like the black brick factory he had seen on TV before.
"Brother Shi, this is our Guo family's kiln in Jinling!" Guo Renjie pointed to the "black brick factory" in Shi Yuan's eyes in front of him and said.
"I just asked Brother Guo, there is a place to make glaze slurry at the mouth of this kiln, I want to go and see it."
"Glaze?" When Guo Renjie heard Shi Yuan's words, although he was puzzled, he still walked into the kiln with Shi Yuan.
Guo Renjie rarely comes to the kiln, and along the way, those craftsmen all looked at Guo Renjie and the others with a surprised face...... After a while, Guo Renjie took Shi Yuan to the place where the glaze paste was made, and a middle-aged man was busy processing the glaze paste at this time. Seeing Guo Renjie and the others coming, the man stopped what he was doing and walked towards Guo Renjie.
"Young master, why do you have time to come to the kiln today?"
Hearing the man's words, Guo Renjie did not answer in a hurry, but said to Shi Yuan: "Brother Shi, this is the place where the glaze is grinded, you can ask Lao Zhang about anything...... Lao Zhang, today is this Shi Gongzi who wants to come to the kiln to have a look, if he has anything to ask, you can explain it to him. ”
The middle-aged man named Lao Zhang heard Guo Renjie's words and responded. Then he looked at Shi Yuan, he saw that Shi Yuan was dressed cleanly, not like a craftsman who fired ceramics, and he didn't know what this son was doing in this kiln? Lao Zhang thought secretly in his heart, but he didn't ask too much.
Shi Yuan didn't care about this, but walked straight to the place where the glaze was fired. After looking at the fired glaze, he asked, "Brother Zhang...... What material is the glaze paste made of? ”
The middle-aged man named Lao Zhang heard Shi Yuan call him his eldest brother, and he couldn't help but be cordial, and hurriedly replied: "This kiln is not an official kiln, and the fired porcelain is all civilian porcelain. ”
"So that's ......," Shi Yuan said secretly in his heart. He came here to burn transparent glass, so he asked about the material of this glaze. The ancient porcelain enamel is a continuous vitreous layer attached to the surface of the ceramic body, or a mixed layer of glass and crystal, so he came here to have a look, hoping to find something...... "Brother Zhang, you can take me to see the place where the finished product is fired!" Shi Yuan then spoke.
Although Lao Zhang didn't know what Shi Yuan was going to do, since the young owner had already ordered it, and this Shi Gongzi was also very kind. didn't ask much, but took Shi Yuan to the place where the fired finished ceramics were stored......
Shi Yuan was busy at the kiln for a long time before he finally figured out the process...... With today's technology, firing clear glass is not a difficult task! He had them fetched quartz, limestone, feldspar, coarse salt, and other materials, and grinded them into powder, which he mixed in proportion to his memory...... Everyone watched Shi Yuan busy before and after, but they still didn't know Shi Yuan's intentions.
"Brother Guo, what is Brother Shi doing?" Dong Feng asked with a puzzled face.
"How do I know...... Brother Shi has always been mysterious in his work, but it seems that it should be a great thing. Guo Renjie replied.
And the surrounding craftsmen also gathered at this time, pointing at Shi Yuan, and talking about it.
Shi Yuan worked hard for a long time, and finally prepared the materials, and then instructed Lao Zhang to put the materials into the kiln to heat. Although the material of glass is simple, these craftsmen who usually fire ceramics in the porcelain kiln are afraid that they can also fire it, but they have not paid attention to the use, or because the materials are complex, the firing is not transparent, so most of them are made of porcelain glaze...... Shi Yuan looked at the slowly dissolving materials in the kiln, and kept ordering to add fire, his eyes kept staring at the materials in the kiln, and his expression was nervous.
"Brother Shi, what are you going to do here?" Guo Renjie saw Shi Yuan's breathless contemplation, and finally couldn't bear it in his heart, and asked.
This remark also asked the doubts in everyone's hearts. These craftsmen who burn ceramics all year round also don't understand Shi Yuan's intentions. Guo Renjie asked, and they couldn't help but look at Shi Yuan, waiting for Shi Yuan's explanation.
When Shi Yuan heard this, he smiled mysteriously and said, "This is a great invention, don't worry, you'll know later!" The benefits of your Guo family are indispensable! ”
