Infrastructure masters in the red building

In the porcelain shop of Baigongfang, Jia Fang gave another picture—the structural drawing of a flush toilet.

The structure of the flush toilet is relatively complicated. Jia Fang was afraid that the plan view would be difficult to explain clearly, so he drew a three-dimensional perspective view.The porcelain burner was shocked when he saw it, and asked, "What kind of painting is this? This object looks like it is really in front of you."

Jia Fang: "I don't understand either, I drew it casually. It's good if I can understand it."

He pointed out to the craftsman: "This is the barrel seat, and this is the downpipe. The downpipe must have a concave bend to ensure that some clean water can be stored here, and the entire pipe is blocked to form a 'water seal'..."

According to Jia Fang's conjecture, the firing of porcelain toilets should be relatively difficult for the current level of craftsmanship.There is no other reason - this kind of sanitary ware is not a regular shape of porcelain, and needs to use a special-shaped porcelain firing process.

Jia Fang didn't know much about this field, so this time, he somewhat thought that it didn't matter if he didn't succeed.

He also considered using materials other than ceramics for sanitary ware, such as wood or metals such as copper and iron-but none of these materials can compare with ceramics in terms of water resistance and cleanliness.Since China is a big country of ceramic production and has the best craftsmen in the world, why not give it a try?

The craftsman's attitude was extremely serious, and he nodded while listening, as if he wanted to keep every word of Jia Fang firmly in his heart, and asked Jia Fang many detailed questions.In the end, the craftsman asked cautiously: "My lord, I dare to ask, what is your object for?"

Jia Fang said frankly: "People use it when they are in a hurry."

The other party was startled, and repeated: "When people are in the third urgency?"

Jia Fang nodded and said, "This object can be cleaned by flushing water, and the water seal can also block the smell of pickling, so there will be no worries when going to the toilet."

He explained very clearly, but the craftsman was skeptical and asked stammeringly, "Master, are you really going to do this?"

Jia Fang thought early on that people would have doubts about the launch of this sanitary ware: Is the toilet not easy to use?Is the chamber pot not working?It's just to let the servants to clean up, these young masters of the government, why do they need to change the status quo?

But Jia Fang firmly believes that good hygiene habits are a sign of civilization and progress. Why doesn't he put this ability into action?

Besides, the people around him are old, young, and most of them are women, and he is not happy to see Sun Ma Fu Ya and them doing the cleaning work - he loves cleaning so much, and it is even more impossible for him to be willing to do it by himself .

After asking all the questions, the craftsman didn't dare to be self-confident, he turned his head and nodded to shopkeeper Ren, as if to indicate that he could accept the order, but he still had to see what the shopkeeper meant.

Whoever wanted to be the shopkeeper smiled all over his face, and greeted Jia Fang: "Mr. Jia, we will take your two orders."

Jia Fang tilted his head slightly, and Zhao Cheng, who had money in his pocket, immediately stepped forward and asked Shopkeeper Ren, "How much deposit do you think we should pay?"

Shopkeeper Ren shook his hands, and said: "Your two orders are rare items that you have never seen before. Although our craftsmen are the best in Beijing, they may not be able to make things to your liking. So the money matter Well, it’s easy to say, easy to say! It’s not too late to talk about the price when it’s finished and you inspect the goods.”

Zhao Chengxin was blunt, and when he saw Shopkeeper Ren's smiling face, he asked bluntly: "Shopkeeper, why are you so happy? Do you want to beat our young master?"

Shopkeeper Ren bowed quickly and explained to Jia Fang with a raised face: "Actually, this is the case. Our boss has always liked novelty objects. The reason why there are so many top craftsmen in the workshop is not to let them do it day after day. The usual jobs."

Jia Fang raised his eyebrows and became a little interested in the proprietor behind Baigongfang.Later generations have high salaries to support honesty, but this hundred workshops are high salaries to support inventions and innovations?

"My boss will be very happy if he hears that you handed over such two orders of rare items. So money and other things are easy to talk about. You can just give me some when the time comes." Shopkeeper Ren once again pointed out that wages are nothing event.

"Is that so?" Jia Fang pondered for a moment, then asked, "May I ask your boss..."

Shopkeeper Ren hurriedly handed over his hands: "I don't dare to use my name, but there is a nickname called 'Tian Yi Yi', and the third master will know it as soon as he inquires about it."

Jia Fang's eyes widened in surprise: "Doctor Tian?"

He was very curious, when will doctors and doctors be able to own such a large industry?Could it be someone like Zhang Youshi?

Shopkeeper Ren was speechless for a moment, and took out a blank piece of paper, which should be specially used for writing receipts and receipts. Wen's "One Life in Heaven".

Only then did Jia Fang realize that the owner of the other party was not some "Doctor Tian", but a person called "Tian Yi Yi".

Hearing this name, Jia Fang's first reaction was: This man's tone is so loud!He even gave himself the nickname "Tianyiyi". He originally thought that Jia Baoyu's self-name of "Jiangdong flower master" was shameless enough, but who knew there was something even louder behind.

In other words, this nickname sounds a bit familiar: Tianyi, what is Tianyisheng?

When Jia Fang left, he asked shopkeeper Ren to help him send the pieces of porcelain he liked directly to the back door of the Rong Mansion, and ordered a batch of lime and sand to be delivered together.

After Jia Fang took Zhao Cheng away, the shopkeeper Ren took the coppersmith and porcelain maker who had received Jia Fang's drawings, hurried to the backyard of Baigongfang, saluted respectfully in an elegant room, and detailed what happened just now. Fan.

The elegant room was very quiet, occasionally there was the sound of teacups and cups clashing.But the people in the room didn't speak, and the shopkeepers and craftsmen outside didn't even dare to show their air.

After a long time, a clear voice sounded.

"You mean, that young man is the third son of Rongguo Mansion? How is he?"

Shopkeeper Ren didn't dare to be negligent, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Jia Fang, the third son of the Rong Mansion, is said to be the son of Rong Guogong. But I think his manner of speaking and acting is different, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary sons of everyone."

"How is it different?" the person in the room asked again.

This is difficult for shopkeeper Ren. Ren Jing thought for a while before answering: "This third young master seems to be very modest, but he is actually a strong one in his bones. When talking to him, there is a feeling that he said that if he can achieve something, he will definitely succeed."

"In addition, I paid special attention. The third son of Jia always straightened his back when he spoke. The two descendants may not have the demeanor of this third son."

After the shopkeeper Ren finished speaking, he continued to wait outside silently.Suddenly hearing the curtains rattle, a handsome young man came out of the room and stretched out his hand to the craftsmen: "Let me see the design he gave you first."
