After leaving Zheng's house, Shao Qingyi took the two children to Zhan's house.

Zhan's family lives near Zheng's, and his house is a courtyard structure.

As soon as they entered the door, a group of people saw that the yard was full of bamboo.The house is full of various bamboo baskets, baskets, sieves and other bamboo products, which look very elegant.

"Wang!"

Before the three of Shao Qingyi and his son could take a good look, a long-legged and thin-waisted Chinese pastoral dog rushed out from the other corner of the yard and barked at Shao Qingyi and the three of them.

The two children were so frightened that they hurriedly hid behind Mu's father. Although Shao Qingyi was not afraid of dogs, he was a little timid because of the aggressive dogs.

He sternly yelled at the dog, and instead of being afraid, the dog barked even more fiercely.

At this time, a young woman in a pink floral bunt came out of the house.

She cursed at the dog, but the dog stopped barking when its master came out, but kept staring at Shao Qingyi and his son, as if they were afraid that they would be bad for the master.

Seeing this, the young woman said to Shao Qingyi apologetically: "I'm sorry, my Ah Huang just gave birth to a cub recently, so she's very afraid of strangers. I don't know if my husband is...?"

"I'm from the He family. Is Uncle Zhan here? I'm here to ask him to order a food box." Shao Qingyi asked back.

He Changji told Shao Qingyi that the person in charge of the Zhan family is called Zhan Nantian, who is over 40 this year and is a generation older than He Changji and Shao Qingyi, so he had to call him uncle when they met.

"My father-in-law is in the backyard, let me call him." It turned out that the young woman was Zhan Nantian's daughter-in-law, "You guys should sit inside for a while."

"That's hard work." He Changji thanked.

While waiting, Shao Qingyi and the two children curiously looked at the various bamboo products in the house.

For these craftsmen, as long as there are enough materials, everything can be made.

For example, the things placed in Zhan's house are as small as ear picks, as large as rice baskets, tables and chairs.

Soon, a middle-aged man of medium stature walked out quickly, he said with a loud smile: "So it's Mrs. He's husband, what's the purpose of visiting today?"

Shao Qingyi told Zhan Nantian again about the purpose of this visit.

"It's okay to customize food boxes, but I don't know how much you need?" Zhan Nantian didn't expect that Shao Qingyi would actually come to negotiate a deal with him. He was a little surprised, but he didn't delve into it.For him, earning money is enough,

"Make thirty small ones and ten large ones. In addition, in addition to food boxes, I also want ten bamboo tubes with lids like that over there." Shao Qingyi pointed to the bamboo cans placed there.

"This, the method of this is very simple." Zhan Nantian smiled, "Your customized food boxes are large, and I can definitely give you these ten bamboo cans."

Shao Qingyi did not expect such an unexpected joy, so he was not polite, and said gratefully: "Thank you very much."

Soon, the two discussed the price and the time to get the goods in batches. Like the Zheng family, Shao Qingyi signed an agreement with the Zhan family.However, Zhan's products are not going to be sold directly, so there is no production and sales cooperation agreement, only a supply agreement.

"By the way, Uncle Zhan, do you have any suitable gifts for your married brother? I'm going to visit someone's house later, and I want to bring some small gifts there." Shao Qingyi kept her agreement properly, and then asked again.

"Are you married?" Zhan Nantian thought for a while, and took out a basket from the pile of bamboo products, "This bamboo basket is a new style, with a large capacity and a beautiful appearance. What do you think?"

Seeing this, Shao Qingyi shook her head. Uncle Zhan's straight male aesthetics are a bit unbearable to look at directly. This thing does not meet the aesthetics of buddies at all, right?

"How about this bamboo tea set? It's very practical." Zhan Nantian recommended again.

This set of bamboo tea sets is indeed quite good, but the Chen family originally made ceramics, so there must be no shortage of tea sets at home, right?

Seeing this, Zhan Nantian scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm a big man, and I don't know what my buddies like, Xiaoqing, come and help He Jiafulang choose one."

Hearing this, the woman in pink shorts came over, found a bamboo lamp from it, and said, "How about this bamboo lamp?"

This bamboo lamp is in the shape of a hollow basket as a whole, carved with patterns of flowers and plants, and a lamp is fixed in the middle of the basket, which can hold candles.

Shao Qingyi's eyes lit up: "This is not bad! Uncle Zhan, how much is this?"

"It's not worth much, just take it if you like it." Zhan Nantian said with a smile.

Shao Qingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard the words. Although he was stingy, he was stingy, and he couldn't be stingy at everything.

"Uncle Zhan, you have already given away ten bamboo tube jars just now, and you want to give me another bamboo lantern, how can I be ashamed?" Shao Qingyi said, "If you keep doing this, I won't dare to fuck you next time The family is here to do business with you."

Zhan Nantian heard the words, and said, "Then give me eight words."

"Okay." Shao Qingyi took out eight Wen coins and handed them to Zhan Nantian, then left with the bamboo lantern.

The food box is also done, and then it is time to go to Chen's house.

Like the He family, the Chen family lives in a relatively remote location because they want to mine clay.

Thinking of what He Changji told him before, about the grievances and grievances between him and Mrs. Chen's husband, Shao Qingyi felt a little guilty.

But for the sake of the gift, maybe he can treat himself better?

Because the location is relatively remote and there are no other houses around, the Chen family's house occupies a large area.

From afar, Shao Qingyi could see black smoke continuously rising from the big chimney of Chen's family, it should be that terracotta tiles were being fired.

The door of Chen's house was closed tightly, Shao Qingyi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Squeak—" The door was opened from the inside, and a tall, young but fancy man dressed in red and green appeared in front of Shao Qingyi and the two children.

Seeing that it was Shao Qingyi who came, the tall husband showed disgust on his face: "Why are you?"

Shao Qingyi squeezed out a warm smile and said, "I'm here to find your husband."

That husband's face changed when he heard the words: "Well, you shameless Shao Qingyi, it's not enough for you to snatch your own brother's fiancée, but you still want to get my husband's idea?!"

Shao Qingyi: ...

Hearing this, Shao Qingyi almost vomited blood.

This Mr. Chen's brain circuit is too strange, isn't it?When normal people hear this kind of words, will they think about it?

and many more……

According to psychology, a person's first reaction reveals what the person wants or fears most.

Chen Jiafu's first reaction when he heard his words was that he was afraid that he would rob his husband. Combined with Chen Jiafu's mentality of loving to dress up and wanting to be beautiful, could it be that Chen Jiafu was always worried that his husband would not want him?

Having kept such a guess, Shao Qingyi was going to observe it later, if his guess was correct, then he would have really found a breakthrough to reconcile with Chen Jiafulang.

Shao Qingyi said with a smile: "Chen's husband, you're overthinking. I'm here to discuss business with your husband. By the way, this is a gift I specially picked for you. Do you like it or not?"

"Gift?" Chen's husband was startled when he heard the words, and then turned into a disgusted expression, "You still bring me a gift? It's not some kind of poison, right?"

Shao Qingyi laughed and said, "Hahaha, Mrs. Chen, you are so funny. How could I bring poison? Look, this is a bamboo lantern. I just bought it from Zhan's family."

"Bamboo lantern?" Mrs. Chen looked at what Shao Qingyi was holding, and it seemed that it was indeed a portable bamboo lantern. The workmanship was quite delicate, and it made people like it - it would have been even better if it hadn't been given to him by Shao Qingyi.

Seeing Chen Jiafulang's expression, Shao Qingyi knew that he should like this gift, so his smile became brighter: "Take it quickly, if it wasn't for the fact that this bamboo lantern is the only one, I would miss myself Buy one and take it home, the workmanship is so delicate, it looks good even as a decoration."

"Hmph!" Mrs. Chen snorted coldly, but still took the bamboo lantern from Shao Qingyi's hand, and let Shao Qingyi and the two children into the house, but still asked in a worried tone, "What do you want from my husband?" ?”

"I want to order a batch of canned food from him." Shao Qingyi told Chen Jiafulang her intention of coming.

"Canned food?" Chen's husband was a little puzzled, "Crock pot?"

"Yes, it's similar to an earthen jar." Shao Qingyi replied with a smile.

"How much do you want?" Mrs. Chen asked again.

"I want to take a look at the finished products made by your family first, is that okay?" Shao Qingyi knows that craftsmen like them will keep the finished products that they think are well done for collection, and those who are more particular will set up a showroom, no Those who pay attention will also set up another room to store these finished products.

"What kind of tricks do you want to play?" Chen Jiafulang obviously still didn't trust Shao Qingyi very much.

Shao Qingyi couldn't laugh or cry: "I just want to see if there are other styles besides clay pots that are suitable for storing the things I want to store."

"What are you pretending to be?" Chen Jiafulang asked vigilantly, "You are not really dealing with poison, are you? Did you spread the rumors in the village because you used something to confuse other villagers? "

Shao Qingyi was helpless, the Chen family's husband had an unexpectedly big brain hole: "If there was such a drug, I would have given it to you a long time ago. Do you still need to be suspected by you now?"

"Maybe you want to get close to me first, and then find a time when I'm not paying attention, and take the opportunity to drug me." Chen Jiafulang was still vigilant, and his brain holes continued to spread, forming a logical and reasonable guess.

"There is no poison, and no drugs!" Shao Qingyi was angry and annoyed, and emphasized it again, and then couldn't help but sneer, "How do you think everyone looks like a bad person? Are you too suspicious? I feel sorry for your husband .”

"You really have thoughts about my husband!" Chen's husband completely missed the point and said with a look of horror.

Faced with this kind of guy who was in the late stage of persecution paranoia and love brain, Shao Qingyi was about to die of anger, and he suddenly understood why the original owner fought him.

"Anyway, take me to see the finished products produced by your family first." Shao Qingyi held her forehead helplessly, "Let me see if there is the one I want first, if not, I will go to Fucheng to find other pottery tiles Craftsmen go."

Hearing what Shao Qingyi said, Mrs. Chen became a little confused again: "Are you really here to talk to my husband about something serious?"

Shao Qingyi suppressed her anger, and replied calmly: "Yes, I told you before. However, although there are only potters like you in Shuiwan Village, there are many potters in Fucheng. If we can't agree, I can go to the potter in Fucheng."

"How can the potter's skill in Fucheng compare to my husband's?" Mrs. Chen said angrily.

"But they don't always suspect that I am going to hook up with his husband's husband!" Shao Qingyi fought back forcefully.

The two children on the side were already furious, and they said angrily: "Hmph, Father Mu is enough to have our father, so he won't like other men!"

Although Shao Qingyi was a little moved by the childish words of the two children, were the two children a little too precocious?

Like it or not, do these two children really understand?

Shao Qingyi touched the heads of the two children, and then said to Chen Jiafulang in a flat tone: "If you want, you can take me to see your finished product, so that I can discuss the next step. If you don't want to, That's okay, we'll go directly to our collaborators in Fucheng."

Chen Jiafulang hesitated for a while, and then said: "All right, I'll take you there first."

Chen Jiafu led Shao Qingyi to turn left and right, and finally came to a large empty room. When he opened the door, Shao Qingyi saw that the inside was full of shelves, and the shelves were full of various forms of ceramic products.

Seeing the stunned expressions of Shao Qingyi and the two children, Mrs. Chen was a little proud: "My husband made these with his own hands, isn't it amazing?"

"Awesome." Shao Qingyi said, walked in with the two children, and began to search for suitable equipment.

Most of the ceramic products in this room are terracotta tiles, but few porcelain products, but every porcelain product looks very smooth and delicate, even a layman like Shao Qingyi can tell that this is not ordinary.

The craftsmanship of these craftsmen in Shuiwan Village is really beyond words.

Especially the Chen family who have enough time and opportunity to practice their skills.

The Chen family makes terracotta tiles, and every household in the village uses terracotta tiles more or less. His products are very easy to sell, and even if they cannot be sold, they can be stored. Exercise and improve skills, and practice kung fu to perfection.

Unlike the Song family, which makes tofu, even if every household in the village buys some, there is not much. The income is not high, and they have to do hard work to make money, so they have no time to hone their craft. A vicious circle will form.

Thinking of the predicament of the Song family, Shao Qingyi thought that the problem of food storage must be solved as soon as possible, so as to truly solve the Song family's problem.

Shao Qingyi continued to look at the exhibits on the shelf, and then became interested in a white porcelain bottle: "What is this used for?"

Chen Jiafu Lang looked at it, and then replied: "I don't know, it is probably used to hold wine."

"Can I take it down and have a look?" Shao Qingyi asked.

"But it's okay, you move lightly." Chen Jiafulang instructed.

"Okay." Shao Qingyi stood on tiptoe and gently took down the white porcelain bottle.

The surface and interior of this white porcelain jar are very smooth, and the wall of the bottle is so thin that it can almost see through the light. It looks like a jade carving.

Shao Qingyi caressed this white porcelain bottle, feeling a little fond of it.

His food, with such a beautiful outer packaging, can improve a lot in an instant!

"I want this style, is it convenient for your husband to discuss specific matters with me now?" Shao Qingyi asked.

"Take this and go with me to meet my husband." Seeing that Shao Qingyi really wanted to do business with her husband, Mrs. Chen finally agreed to take him to meet her husband.

"Father Mu, it's so hot here..." The closer they got to the kiln, the higher the temperature, and the two children were sweating from the heat.

Shao Qingyi was also covered in sweat.He has a high body fat content, so he is afraid of heat. He is wearing more clothes than ordinary people because of the wind and cold. In addition, the temperature here is much higher than the normal room temperature, so it is even more hot.

It's already hot like this before it reaches the kiln, so one can imagine how hot it will be in the kiln.Shao Qingyi said to the two children: "You two go outside and wait."

"I'll let my children take them to play." Mrs. Chen said upon seeing this.

"Okay." Shao Qingyi nodded.

Chen Jiafulang called his two children over.

Mrs. Chen and her husband gave birth to two daughters, both of whom were very juicy, but a little shy. If their father hadn't called them, they probably wouldn't have come out of the house.

"Take your two younger brothers to play." Fulang Chen said, and handed the bamboo lantern in his hand to his eldest daughter, "Put this in your room."

"Understood, Father Mu." The two daughters responded Yingying, each holding Cheng Ping Cheng'an's hand, ready to leave.

Cheng Ping and Cheng An looked at Shao Qingyi: "Father Mu..."

Obviously, he didn't want to leave his father's side.

Shao Qingyi encouraged: "Go, go and play with the young ladies, Father Mu will be back soon."

Only then did the two children reluctantly follow the two young ladies away.

After the children left, Shao Qingyi smiled and said, "Aren't your two daughters in their teens? They look really fresh, very much like you."

Hearing Shao Qingyi's praise, Chen's husband raised a complacent look on his face, and said with a smile: "The eldest daughter is twelve years old, and the younger daughter is ten years old. In a few years, they will have to find husbands."

Shao Qingyi was surprised when she heard the words, these two little girls are still children, why did they find their in-laws?

But after thinking about it again, in this world, girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old are betrothed to others. The eldest daughter of the Chen family is already 12 years old, and she will indeed be able to get married in two or three years.

Thinking that Cheng An might get married so early, Shao Qingyi felt uncomfortable.

Fifty-six is ​​still a child... Although the whole social custom is like this, Shao Qingyi can't change the overall situation, but for her own child, Shao Qingyi is reluctant to let him marry off at fifteen or six.

After such an interruption, Shao Qingyi's mood dropped a lot, and even when she finally met the head of the Chen family, she looked calm and lost her previous enthusiasm.

The head of the Chen family is a tall and thin man, in his early thirties, his face and skin color are dark because he stays by the kiln all the year round, but he has a tall nose bridge and eyes as black as stars , looks very handsome.

This kind of appearance is considered one of the best in Shuiwan Village, no wonder Chen's husband is so worried that his husband will be snatched away.

"Jiu'er, is this...?" Chen Keyan asked suspiciously.

Chen's husband is the ninth eldest in his family, so his nickname is Jiu'er.

"Husband~ Mr. He's husband said he wanted to talk to you about a business." Facing his husband, Mrs. Chen's attitude was so gentle and soft that even his voice became mellow and seductive.

Shao Qingyi was completely chilled by Chen's husband's behavior.

Can you speak well!

However, the head of the Chen family seems to be quite fond of this, and he replied with concern: "For this kind of thing, you can just call me no, why come here in person? The kiln is so hot here, it will kill your beautiful little girl." My cheeks are burned by heat."

Hearing this, the expression on Shao Qingyi's face became even colder.

What kind of pot and what kind of lid really match, this couple is so disgustingly carved out of the same mold.

Shao Qingyi couldn't figure it out, the head of the Chen family and the husband of the Chen family had such a good relationship, why was the husband of the Chen family still so worried about gains and losses?

Shao Qingyi interrupted the couple's affection with indifference, and asked, "Master Chen, I want to order this kind of white porcelain bottle. I would like to ask how long the construction period will take and how much it will cost."

After being interrupted, Chen Keyan didn't care much about Shao Qingyi's attitude towards him. After all, for him, as long as this husband of the He family doesn't have conflicts with his husband, or even fights, it's already fine.

He never expected to get any good looks from this well-known pungent husband in the village.

He looked at the white porcelain vase Shao Qingyi was holding and replied: "Kaolin is needed to make porcelain vases. Our village does not produce this. If you want to make porcelain vases, you have to go outside the village to buy them yourself."

Shao Qingyi didn't expect that there would be problems with this raw material. If she had to buy materials from outside the village, she might as well ask the potters in Fucheng to do it directly!

But if this is the case, the production of food must also be outside the village, which is putting the cart before the horse.

He was eager to solve the problem of food storage because the Song family didn't want to leave the village and only wanted to make the handicrafts handed down from their ancestors in the village.But if the place of food production needs to be changed to Fucheng because it is more convenient to make storage tools in Fucheng, then it is better to just persuade the Song family to move to Fucheng to sell tofu!

"Is there no other material that can replace kaolin?" Shao Qingyi asked with a frown.

"No." Chen Keyan shook his head, and then suggested, "Or, what about ceramic tiles?"

After Shao Qingyi heard the words, she asked again: "Can ceramic tiles reach the state of this kind of porcelain bottle?"

"The size and shape are fine. What do you mean by state?" Chen Keyan asked with some doubts.

"Can the outer and inner surfaces achieve this level of smoothness?" Shao Qingyi is more concerned about this.

"This is no problem. Glazing can make the surface smooth." As he spoke, Chen Keyan picked up a bottle that had cooled down. "Look, this is the effect after glazing."

After Shao Qingyi took it, she looked it over carefully. Although the bottle was not as delicate and translucent as the white porcelain bottle in his hand, the surface was very smooth both inside and outside, and the glaze on the outside layer was very beautiful and radiant, almost reaching the level of glass. standard.

"Can the crock made in this way be used to hold food directly?" Shao Qingyi asked again.

He remembered reading a popular science article saying that some ceramic glazes are poisonous, so when buying porcelain bowls, try to choose ones without patterns or made by regular manufacturers.

Chen Keyan was taken aback by Shao Qingyi's question, and then replied: "Well, it shouldn't be a problem, right? We all use this kind of earthen jars to hold food directly, and we haven't seen any problems."

The Chen family's husband at the side heard the words, and replied a little unhappy: "What do you mean, Shao Qingyi, do you think everyone likes to drug others as much as you do?"

The author has something to say: Shao Qingyi: Hold on, hold on, Mr. Chen's husband is just a fool!
