Du Zhi really hoped that Mo Shi could become a smart person. This kid was too stubborn. He would just keep talking about Bai Gong, and he would not be able to adapt at all. He was obviously a one-eyed person, but he didn't understand the philosophy of life of turning a blind eye. He was just a stubborn cow. No wonder Mu Zhongtu had one eye dug out.

It’s not that you want to sing the opposite tune with Bai Dong, but Du Zhi is more pragmatic. In his opinion, everything should have a gradual perfection process. Brother Bai is the leader, so naturally he has to put forward stricter requirements. But if you are an executor, you should understand the reason why it is too much or too little. It’s just a porcelain kiln. I don’t know what it is to be used for. As for it being so harsh? The bricks used for building kilns are the best hollow blue bricks, and the white soil and glutinous rice juice produced in Lantian are also used for bonding bricks. That’s glutinous rice, which costs hundreds of dollars a pound, is a good thing sold for hundreds of dollars. In Lao Qin, even the king dares to eat them every day. It’s just a pharmacy that warms the stomach and removes dampness. You’re so useless?

Not to mention Du Zhi, the one who is the best at living, even Qin Yue people looked at him and shook their heads. Gou Shengzi had the best relationship with Mo Xun. When he saw Mu Zhuobei, he always called his sister-in-law. Now he didn't bother to pay attention to Mo Xun, who looked serious. All this wasted money from the Bai family!

Mo Shi sat in front of a stone table and was drinking tea leisurely. Looking from his perspective, he saw a hillside with a flat slope. It was faintly seen that four or five rectangular pools were built on the slope, along the mountain, arranged in a step-like manner. Near the foot of the mountain was a brick and stone building covering an area of ​​three acres. From a distance, it looked like a huge oval egg. It was a courtyard. Walking over it was a kiln house directly connected to the kiln. There was a place for people to rest in the room, and there were wooden warehouses that piled up firewood on rainy days. You could go directly into the kiln from here.

Looking at the stick-shaped cylinder object standing high above the porcelain kiln, Mo Shi was a little excited. This was the highest airway he had ever seen. Since the Gongshuo invented this thing, everyone in the world has used it. But even the princes' kitchen only had nine-foot airways, and the airway above the porcelain kiln was about two feet high. It was Gongshuo's guide to transform the ladder into something called "working rack" to build it. I don't know how much energy and money it took. But even such a difficult thing was ordered to be demolished twice by him. Not to mention Du Zhi, even the Gongshuo people are anxious to jump. Several direct children even pointed at his nose to ask whether they were taking the opportunity to revenge the expulsion of the Gongshuo! Faced with this kind of doubt, Mo Shi just smiled and said nothing, you scolded you. I will tear mine.

"I have checked the ink line. This time the porcelain kiln was built with a solid foundation. When I hit the brick gap with a copper chisel, I only left a white mark. Is it possible to pass the test?"

The flea jumped to Mo Shin from somewhere and said to him with a smile.

It has to be said that Qin Yue people have a trick. After being guided by Bai Dong, this doctor's ancestor soon became a psychological expert in this era. In order to treat fleas, he successively supplemented medicine and stones to create a healthy environment and atmosphere, talked with her many heart-to-heart talks and exchanged with her many times, and encouraged her to participate in labor and study more... Fleas now rarely boast about "my peerless face". The strong family affection in Baijiazhuang, various novel foods, rich and diverse life and study, and the honest and lovely hum, the grass that happily tells her stories every day has become the power to change her.

The flea, whose psychology has gradually become normal, is now one of the most active figures in Baijiazhuang. Anyone who has come into contact with her will praise this beautiful woman for being cute, genuine, powerful in martial arts, and more generous when drinking alcohol than men...

Some people say that the madman is happiest, this is farting! The madman is the happiest after healing. The flea now has endless energy to use. When the Bai Family Trading Company established the Ranger Guard, no one wanted to bother her. She took the initiative to jump out and defeated several Ranger leaders in a row, and successfully played the role of the Bai Family's "big stick". This time she came to Lantian, she volunteered again. Bai Dong was a little hesitant, but only agreed after seeing the "doctor certificate" of Qin Yue people. Unexpectedly, after she arrived in Lantian, she took the initiative to ask for responsibility for the supervision of the porcelain kiln, and put on a pair of pants with Mo Shi, which made Du Zhi and others extremely depressed.

"Let's go and try the burn!"

With Mo Shin's order, the Bai family craftsmen and Gongshuo people were about to frown again. In addition to the raiders from the Bai family trading club, there were also ten Gongshuo children and twenty Bai family craftsmen. The former was only responsible for making some tools needed in the future on the spot, while the latter was a kiln technician that Bai Dong was preparing to vigorously train. However, these Bai family children still don't know what the "porcelain kiln" is to be used for. Only Mo Shin is fully aware of it, so he is more grateful to Bai Dong for his kindness.

Burning porcelain is a technical job, and even Bai Dong only knows a rough idea. Even with his guidance, the Mo Shi and these Bai family craftsmen will probably have to go through countless failures to grow. Therefore, this technology is the easiest to monopolize confidentiality, and it is also the least easy to monopolize confidentiality, because it is dependable on people and a craft that cannot be protected by law.

Bai Dong asked for confidentiality when he started building the kiln. In fact, he was just one step ahead of the world. In addition to the Gongshu, there are organizations like the Mohist school that are famous for their skilled craftsmen, and experts like Guiguzi. If the secrets of the porcelain kiln are leaked too early, they may be taken advantage of by those who are interested.

He was just a lawyer from later generations, not a Jingdezhen Grand Prize. He could only lead the world from the strategic and tactical levels, but at the battle level, he could only make his "soldiers" one step ahead; if Mo Shi and the Bai family craftsmen were not good, he would also lose. The facts proved that Wang ~ Ba Qi was not the halo of the time traveler.

Even in Jingdezhen, the best porcelain to be made in Jingdezhen was still necessary to use pine wood. Someone tried coal porcelain, but the result was garbage. Therefore, Bai Dong specifically explained that the best pine wood must be used when testing the kiln.

This time, the Bai family brought countless grains. Except for some temporarily lent to the Lantian military, most of them were used to help the victims. Those who lack labor in the victims can receive them free of charge, but those who have labor at home are not given in vain. Currently, they use pine firewood to exchange for grain, ten kilograms of firewood per kilogram. Lantian area connects to Qinling. As long as they have strength, harvesting firewood is not a problem. Moreover, the firewood here is not worth much. When I heard that the Bai family was willing to exchange 10 kilograms of pine firewood, the people in Lantian were moved and cried. I had heard about the Bai Zuo Geng’s name for a long time. When the Bai family came, we were lucky and good people...

Now in the courtyard in front of the kiln, there are mountains of pine wood in the kiln house, which are originally worthless things, but in the eyes of Du Zhi and Gou Zuozi, these are piles of food. I heard that the ink line is going to be tried to burn again, and the two looked at each other and were a little nervous. God knows whether this crazy man can pass the inspection this time. God blesses me, all the wastes are money!

According to the method given by Bai Dong, Mo Shi directed everyone to pile firewood into the kiln. Seeing that the amount of firewood was enough, he ordered the kiln to be sealed. Because it was not really burning porcelain, there was only one fire outlet left to look at the fire, and even the hole for adding firewood was not left. In autumn, the fire was dry and flaky, and a torch was thrown in. A short time in the kiln, flames rose, and the boiling heat waves rushed out of the fire outlet. The first one could sweat on the spot. Fleas loved beauty the most, frowned and quickly flashed, but Mo Shi did not retreat half a step, staring at the flames in the kiln while stretching out his palms to feel the temperature of the flames.

"To burn porcelain better than Chudi Crystal Catalogue, in addition to having a good kiln, there is also dolomite and kaolin from Lantian... But these are not the key. The key is that the "fire-looking master" must be able to accurately sense the heat in the kiln. This ability is not taught by the master, but depends on your own countless explorations and insights. If you see the fire and sweat a lot, you will naturally have experience. You will definitely encounter failure, maybe a hundred times, a thousand times, but success is

Next time! Mo Shi, I have no other requirements for you. You are a person who is praised by Mr. Gongshu, who is "born keen perception and has a brilliant mind". I want you to become the best master of fire watching! Think about it... In the future, countless wonderful porcelain will be produced from your hands. You are as noble as nobles, princes and monarchs of various countries, and even the Emperor of Zhou. You will be extremely happy and even honored by getting the porcelain you fired! You must work hard, don't let me down!"

Recalling Bai Dong's words in his mind, Mo Shin unconsciously straightened his chest and his eyes became more firm. He took a bowl of salt water from his wife and drank it, and then took a step closer to the fire. He sweated heavily, but his eyes didn't even blink. The scorching waves hit his body, but it was like spring breeze bathing his body.

After more than an hour, the fire in the kiln gradually faded away. Mo Shin's whole body was wet with sweat, but he refused to take a break. He began to touch the kiln wall all the way, from the beginning to the beginning, to the later just warm, he was familiar with every wall brick, just like his wife's body.

Suddenly, Mo Shi looked at the wall in front of him very angrily. Several bricks had slight cracks. The reason was that several bricks were not evenly applied, slightly wider than the bricks elsewhere, and the glutinous white clay filling the bricks was not flat enough, with slight bulge or depressions.

"Not compliant with specifications, the whole was dismantled and rebuilt!"

The ink line is as deep as water.

"Are you crazy? This is the third time!"

I don’t know if Mo Xian is crazy or not. Du Zhike is really crazy. He wants to rush over and strangle this guy to death.

"Brother Mo, there are only some minor problems with the wall. Isn't it enough to rebuild this area? Is it necessary to demolish and rebuild the whole? Can you discuss it..." Gou Shengzi's eyes were also inflamed, and he felt more distressed than Du Zhi.

"I didn't set up anything and I said that I would demolish and rebuild the whole! You can send a letter to Bai Gong in Feixin. If Bai Gong said that it doesn't have to be like this, I have nothing to say."
Chapter completed!
