(0383) When Xu Xingxia came out of the medical camp, he received a report that his father had come to the door. When Daddy arrived, of course Xu Xingxia didn't dare to slack off, hurried to the door of the barracks, and personally helped Daddy in. Inadvertently, I found that my father actually had some gray hair on his head, which is estimated to be due to too much work recently and tiredness. He couldn't help but feel sad, wanting to say something, but it was hard to say. In the past, despite the poverty of the Xu family, Xu Fuqing's legs could not walk, but there was no white hair on his head. It's all hard and tired!

"Child, your father is working hard now, and a little gray hair is not in the way." Xu Fuqing said with a smile. His mood was indeed very happy. These white hairs, he really doesn't put them in his heart. Seeing that his eldest son is getting more and more promising, and he can do something by himself, his main wish is basically fulfilled. Except for the fact that he has no grandchildren, he doesn't want anything else.

Xu Xingxia took Dad to the conference room and sat down. He didn't dare to take his father to his cabin, for fear that Tesna would have to do something with him later. The relationship between her and herself is indescribable, and the reason is still messy, if Xu Fuqing comes to intervene again, it will really be over. With her intimate relationship with herself, anything can happen! And with her cleverness and wisdom, she was easily able to capture the hearts of the two old men.

"Xia'er, I brought all the bone china samples you wanted......" Xu Fuqing came for the bone china matter. The high-quality porcelain mentioned by Xu Xingxia and Mrs. Lin is bone china. After he returned to the Montenegrin camp, he told Xu Fuqing the basic recipe of bone china, and then asked him to organize experienced porcelain craftsmen to refine various bone china experiments as soon as possible. Xu Fuqing came today and brought some samples of bone china.

Xu Xingxia picked up common bone china products such as teacups, spoons, cups, saucers, and plates, and carefully inspected them one by one. Don't let go of any of these flaws. If the quality doesn't meet his requirements, he'd rather not sell it. This is his second stable financial route, and of course it should be given special attention. Bone china is of high quality, thin as paper, transparent as a mirror, sound as chime, white as jade, after it came out, it soon replaced other porcelain varieties and became the common tableware of the royal family of European countries. To this day, it is still the most versatile tableware in high society.

In terms of firing technology, there is actually no secret to bone china. Its biggest secret is that the raw materials contain some of the ashes of various animals. Among them, the ashes of cow bones are the most superior. The invention of bone china was in the eighteenth century, and it first appeared in Europe. The reason why it did not appear in China was mainly because the porcelain craftsmen at that time did not dare to use animal ashes as raw materials to make porcelain.

Animal ashes, such an unlucky thing, how can they be put in porcelain? Do you dare to drink tea with a teacup containing animal ashes? I'm afraid you're going to spit it out! The difference in national conditions is destined to make the name bone china absolutely impossible to circulate in China. Porcelain made of bones, you're deliberately scary, aren't you? Therefore, technical secrecy is a must. At the same time, a huge change was also made in the name of porcelain.

"It's called white marble porcelain! It is a kind of thin porcelain! Xu Xingxia finally decided.

In all dynasties, white marble is one of the best building materials, and it is an indispensable building material for the palace hall. The Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty used a large amount of white marble. Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, Ciqing Palace and other major step pedestals are all white marble. Porcelain fired with it is sure to easily attract the eyes of porcelain lovers. From the perspective of technical secrecy, it is also very easy to mislead the thinking direction of people with intentions. If you don't know the details, who can associate white marble with animal ashes?

Ningxia Town already has a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, and it is too easy to collect animal ashes. The technology of firing bone china is the same as that of ordinary porcelain, and it can be completed by ordinary porcelain kilns. Of course, if you want to innovate more varieties in appearance, you also need the efforts of craftsmen, and actively innovate in all details. Xu Xingxia just opened the door to white marble porcelain, and how to further improve and develop it is a matter for the craftsmen.

The profit of white marble porcelain is obviously not comparable with glass. The special surname of porcelain determines that it cannot be very profitable. However, it is a steady source of income. Compared to other trade goods, its profits are high enough. The best thing is that its consumer group is not only limited to the East, but can even be sold directly to the West and to the royal families and nobles of European countries. Of course, the premise is to open up trade routes with Europe.

In general, Xu Xingxia is very satisfied with his father's work. The old man is really energetic now, and his face is much more ruddy than before. If it weren't for the gray hair on his head revealing his true age, he would have looked as if he was only in his forties. If this person has a head and hope, he always looks comfortable. He finally said gratefully: "Dad, you have worked hard. If you're not very busy, you should take a break! ”

Xu Fuqing smiled happily and disagreed. He is working hard, where is he willing to rest? Of course, the words of the eldest son also mean that he cares. Suddenly remembering something, he said with anticipation: "Natsuko, you haven't been home for a long time, when will you go home and have a look?" A lot of people in the family are thinking about you! Your mother has been talking about it, saying that since you have gone back to the house after the New Year, she doesn't know how much she misses you! ”

Xu Xingxia didn't really want to go back. Of course, he misses his father and mother, and he also misses Dongzi, Niuniu, Da Nan, and Xiao Nan. Who wouldn't want to enjoy the love and warmth of their family? However, since discovering that there was an extra Lin Xiaoniang in the family, Xu Xingxia felt that he had become the first batch of "fearful returnees" in the Ming Dynasty. If he goes back, he will definitely be forced to marry. Maybe it's even more excessive, being forced to have a child! Anyway, it doesn't take a few days to sow seeds! The mood of the old man hugging his grandson is too urgent.

He has an instinctive resistance to his parents' arranged marriage. As long as you think about it, two people who have no feelings at all, but they are forced into the cave room, undressed and naked, and the major event of the reproduction of sincerity and benevolence is strange. However, if Daddy opened his mouth like this, if he didn't agree, it would definitely make Daddy sad. He had no choice but to say: "There have been a lot of things recently, so I haven't been back often." I'll go back and see it later. ”

Xu Fuqing told him several times before he left satisfied.

Dad told him so repeatedly, Xu Xingxia couldn't go home if he didn't want to. After eating at noon that day, Xu Xingxia explained all the things to his subordinates and took the time to go back to Weizhenbao. When he returned to Xu's house, it was already in the afternoon, and it was the time when the farmers were all working in the fields, and there were few people in the entire Weizhen Fort. March is the sowing season, and as long as you are plowing the land, it is the busiest.

This time, the Xu family was obviously a lot more active. From afar, Xu Xingxia heard the laughter coming from inside. Among them, there is a silver bell-like laughter, which seems a little unfamiliar, but a little attractive. Xu Xingxia speculated that it should be a young woman's laughter. If you didn't guess wrong, it should be the new Lin Xiaoniang. Apart from her, there are no young strange women in the Xu family. He quietly looked at it, and sure enough, it was Lin Xiaoniang.

In the courtyard of the Xu family, Lin Xiaoniang was playing a game of hide and seek with Niuniu, Da Nan, and Xiao Nan. Lin Xiaoniang's eyes were covered with black cloth, and she was groping everywhere for the traces of the three female babies. And the three girls quietly hid not far from her, holding their breath and not letting Lin Xiaoniang find out. If Lin Xiaoniang wants to find someone, she must turn her ears and listen carefully to the movements around her. If there's any trouble, she'll pounce on it right away.

In other words, this Lin Xiaoniang, from a distance, looks like a little beauty. Her skeleton is obviously not as tall as Tessna, her body is not as athletic, and her legs are not as slender as Tessna. She is a typical small and delicate, small jasper-type girl. Melon seed face, willow eyebrows, watery eyes, thin lips, inadvertently bulging breasts, thin waist, and quietly upturned buttocks. She is also dressed modestly. It's just very ordinary home-style clothes. However, the materials of the clothes are all new, and it is estimated that her mother made them for her.

I have to admit that this Lin Xiaoniang, whether it is her appearance, voice, or demeanor, makes Prince Niang's family very satisfied. The relatives of the Xu family, the three aunts and six mothers-in-law, are said to have thought it was good after seeing it. Some people also said that this Lin Xiaoniang, the first child must be a male baby. The only fly in the ointment is probably her origin. It may be that the relationship between being exploited by others for the time is old, and the military households at the bottom don't like the account office very much. I always feel that they have counted beads, and a lot of their money and food have been deducted.

Xu Xingxia slowed down and walked over slowly. The three little girls happened to have their backs to the door of the Xu family, and they didn't notice Xu Xingxia coming back for a while. However, Lin Xiaoniang immediately noticed the footsteps and subconsciously pounced. However, after taking two steps, she realized that something was wrong. The footsteps of an adult are obviously different from the footsteps of a child, and of course she will not admit it. Since an adult had returned, she hurriedly took off the black veil that covered her face. As a result, when he found that it was Xu Xingxia who came back, his cheeks immediately blushed, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Big brother is back!" Niuniu's eyes were very sharp, and she reacted quickly, and when she found something wrong, she immediately turned her head. found that Xu Xingxia was back, she immediately ran up in a hurry and threw herself directly into Xu Xingxia's arms. Xu Xingxia was hit by her firmly, and secretly smacked her tongue, Niuniu has weighed a lot lately. When I looked down, I found that Niuniu in my arms might have eaten well, dressed warmly, had a ruddy face, a stout body, and looked like a little chubby.
