Chapter 50 Kiln Firing
It was because Jiang Yu was not well-informed that she didn't know that the iron plate she picked up was also of extraordinary value. It was a tiger talisman from the previous dynasty and was a treasure that could be collected in the National Museum.
That incense burner is also a treasure. It is a bronze ware and a national treasure from ancient times. Although it is small in size, it also has a place in the National Museum.
Ginger fish, not understanding their value, put them all in a space, waiting for the day when conditions permit, to take them out and put them at home as decorations.
The hurried harvest lasted for more than ten days, after which the dried corn cobs needed to be threshed, a job that Jiang Yu did very well and quickly. What we are saying is that Popeye definitely has a natural talent for farming.
During this period, she saw Ma Yanna going up the mountain several times, and there were always men following her in the direction she disappeared.
Jiang Yu looked at Guan Wenbin in the crowd, wondering if he was aware that he had forced a woman to this point.
I don't know who is right and who is wrong...
Jiang Yu lowered his head, put two corn cobs together, rubbed them together, it was the devil's step...
That night, the door of the educated youth camp was opened late at night. Two people left one after the other.
Jiang Yu opened his eyes and roughly identified the people who came out of the houses at both ends of the front yard. They should be Ma Yanna and Guan Wenbin. They should be going to settle the 10 yuan matter that Guan Wenbin mentioned last time.
She didn't care about that and turned over and fell asleep again.
After harvesting the corn kernels, the village began to organize the payment of public grain.
But this matter has nothing to do with the educated youth, and they can finally take a day off to catch their breath.
As soon as Xue Li had a good sleep, he rode his bicycle away.
Jiang Yu also went up the mountain carrying the basket.
Several male educated youth were also busy storing food, buying thick clothes and quilts, and going up the mountain to collect firewood.
When Jiang Yu was carrying mud down the mountain, he ran into Zhuang Caier who was riding a bicycle back to the village. The girl had two long braids draped over her chest and a red scarf tied around her neck, looking full of youth.
"Jiang Yu, what are you doing?" Zhuang Caier stopped the car and looked up at her.
"Build a kiln and burn some pottery jars or something." Jiang Yu didn't guarantee success. The kiln in her previous life had only a 50% chance of producing something.
"Firing a kiln? Jiang Yu, you can also fire pottery jars?" Zhuang Cai'er was stunned. After all, most people only know how to buy jars from others. Who can open a kiln and fire them by themselves? No one has the skills.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "We can rest in the winter anyway. The kiln should be well insulated. We can just fire up a few furnaces and make some bowls and plates for our own use."
"Wait a minute, wait for me, don't rush!" Zhuang Cai'er thought, firing a kiln is a great thing! Although I don't know if this kiln can fire bricks and tiles in addition to firing pottery bowls, it's a good thing even if it only has bowls!
She thought this might be a good opportunity for the construction team, so she turned the steering wheel, stepped on the Hot Wheels, and rushed out to find her father.
Jiang Yu watched her run away, raised his eyebrows, and walked back carrying two baskets of mud.
On the main road, villagers from the construction team were driving ox carts back.
Zhuang Caier found them with a grunt, stepped on the brakes and shouted, "Dad! Dad, come here quickly!"
Zhuang Shouren was bragging to Uncle Niu, and with the support of the younger generation, he felt very happy, but his daughter yelled and choked him, "What are you yelling for? What are you yelling for? You stupid girl, what are you doing?"
"Dad, come here quickly! I have something to tell you!" Zhuang Caier's voice became louder.
Zhuang Shouren jumped off the ox cart and replied impatiently, "Come on, come on, you have a loud voice, you better be more careful when you speak next time, otherwise I'm afraid my son-in-law will become deaf at such a young age."
Zhuang Caier said, "Nonsense, he won't do that!" When Zhuang Shouren approached, she pulled his sleeve and walked two steps to the side, "Dad, the educated youth Xiao Jiang said he wanted to build a kiln to make bowls. What do you think..."
"Kiln?" Zhuang Shouren exclaimed, then quickly covered his mouth, "Did she really say she wanted to burn the kiln?"
"Really!" Zhuang Cai'er was also very excited. "Dad, what do you think about this? Should we help with it? If this really works, at least we can make some dishes and exchange them with the villagers nearby!"
"Help! No, we don't have to help her, we have to trouble the educated youth Xiao Jiang to teach us!" Zhuang Shouren made the decision immediately.
Supplies are scarce these days, all supplies are scarce.
Private transactions were not allowed, so all the craftsmen with connections either went to work in the factory or did other things, while the others just hid themselves and dared not show up.
Don’t underestimate ceramic bowls, they are daily necessities that we use every day.
The conditions in the construction team were considered good, but there were still difficulties in the village. The family could not even afford to feed several people, and the younger generation had to eat with simple wooden bowls.
By the way, there is also a ceramic worker in the next village who has learned the craft from a master for several years, but he doesn't know how to operate a kiln, so his skills are useless.
"Come on, come on, you ride the bike... No, I'll ride the bike, I'll take you with me, let's go back to find the educated youth Xiao Jiang." Zhuang Shouren reached out and snatched the bicycle from his daughter's hand, pushed it two steps and successfully got on the bike.
Zhuang Caier let out a cry and waited until the car was a little further away before jogging to jump onto the back seat. The father and daughter then hurried back to the village.
The two men rushed to the outside of the educated youth center, and Zhuang Shouren jogged into the backyard with his bicycle in his hand.
Two baskets of mud containing Jiang Yu were thrown there, but neither the man nor the carrying pole was there.
"Dad, the educated youth little Jiang must have gone to pick up mud again! We have to find someone to go with her quickly. We can't let her do it alone." Zhuang Caier stomped her feet, turned around and ran, looking back to pull her two brothers to do the hard labor.
"Yes, yes, yes, you go find Dashan, and I'll go find Uncle Liu!" Zhuang Shouren felt that this matter should be informed to the elders in the village. With their support, the strong laborers in the village will work hard.
The two of them divided the work and half an hour later, the farmers who were resting at home in the village picked up their shoulder poles and baskets and went to Yaoer Mountain.
Yi Chi, who was writing materials at home, heard voices coming from afar, and quickly packed up his things and went out to look.
"What are they doing?" He looked at the villagers in confusion. Picking mountain products did not involve all the men. Usually the women in the village were the main force.
Although he was not sure, as long as it had nothing to do with him, Yi Chi didn't bother to care. He closed the door of the thatched hut, took out paper and pen and continued to write.
When Jiang Yu came out of the mountain, he ran into Zhuang Shouren and his men. He cried out, and walked forward and shouted to her to wait a moment, "Little Jiang Zhiqing, Little Jiang Zhiqing, it's like this, my little sister said you want to build a kiln for firing bowls, right? How about this, the villagers will help you with the kiln, and when the kiln is ready, you will have priority to use it. That is, can you teach us how to fire bowls, plates and other things..."
