Chapter 365 Teaching
The workshop for burning paper porcelain is not in Dongfeng Mansion, but in the nearby Qingshan Village.
Qingshan Village is located in a remote place, and it would take three hours to drive there by horse-drawn carriage from Dongfeng Mansion.
Chu Zhuang and the others started their journey early in the morning, and they arrived at their destination when the sun rose at noon.
"Why are there so many disabled people in this village?"
Chu Zhuang looked at the villagers who walked past the car window. Basically, nine out of ten men were disabled, which made Chu Zhuang feel very strange.
"These are all disabled soldiers under my father's command. They are physically disabled and it is difficult to make a living outside, so my father placed them in this village. There is no tax here, and they can survive." Yunmengxi explained.
Chu Zhuang nodded slightly. Although these disabled soldiers can barely do farm work if they return to their hometowns, they will definitely not be able to survive in the face of heavy taxes. There is no tax here, but they can make ends meet.
"There are quite a few of my father and my second elder brother in this village, and my father and elder brother's money has basically been spent on this over the years." Yunmengxi sighed and said: "However, if this is the case, the only thing they can save is the A small number of people."
Chu Zhuang frowned. He felt a little strange before, why both Yun Tingfeng and the others were so eager to make money.
Logically speaking, according to their status and family background, they should not be short of money!
From the looks of it now, they should also want to earn more money to support these remnant soldiers.
These soldiers used to be the ones who followed them through life and death, and if their lives were miserable because of their injuries, they would feel uneasy.
"Don't worry, once the wine starts to be sold, uncle and elder brother will have enough money. Even if there are hundreds or thousands of villages like this, they will be able to afford it." Chu Zhuang held Yun Mengxi said in relief.
"Really?" Yun Mengxi looked at Chu Zhuang excitedly and asked.
"Well, I promise!" Chu Zhuang smiled and nodded.
"That's great!" Yunmengxi said excitedly.
Because he knew that Chu Zhuang was going to burn expensive jade porcelain and glass here, Yunhong had arranged for people to make arrangements yesterday, and he had to go through three checkpoints to enter the ceramic workshop from the outside.
There is a checkpoint at the gate, three shifts are arranged every day, twelve hours of non-stop inspections, everyone in the village knows each other, outsiders are not allowed in unless they are brought in by Yun Zhanfei and the others.
After passing through the village, we came to the back mountain, and another checkpoint was set at the foot of the mountain. To enter the ceramic workshop at the back, we must break through this checkpoint.
And the last checkpoint is at the entrance of the ceramic workshop. There is also a team of guards here, and a sentry is also deployed. It is also sent out for [-] hours non-stop. Once someone approaches, they will be found immediately. .
When the carriage entered the village, Chu Zhuang got off the carriage and walked with Yunhong and the others.
Firstly, it made the villagers recognize the two strangers, Chuzhuang and Huiming, and secondly, it was convenient for Yunhong to introduce the situation in the village to Chuzhuang.
"Big brother and second brother, with your arrangement, even a fly won't be able to fly in easily." Chu Zhuang couldn't help but praise.
Yun Zhanfei smiled and said: "That's not true, we deployed according to the army's specifications."
Once the jade porcelain and glass are successfully fired, then this place will definitely become a place that everyone covets. How can they do it if they don't make arrangements in advance!
A group of people entered the workshop, and the craftsmen gathered in the yard when they heard the summons.
The scale of this workshop is not large, only three masters and a dozen or so apprentices.
When these people saw Yun Zhanfei, they immediately saluted them: "General Yun!"
Yun Zhanfei waved his hand and introduced Chu Zhuang to everyone: "This is my brother-in-law Chu Zhuang. I think you all know the purpose of his coming here. You must follow his orders from now on, you understand?"
Yunhong had already sent someone to notify them yesterday, so now they all knew that the purpose of Chu Zhuang's visit was to teach them a new type of porcelain for burning paper.
"Yes!" Although everyone doubted whether Chu Zhuang really knew how to make porcelain at such a young age, but due to Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong's previous mighty virtue, no one questioned it, and they all obediently agreed.
Yunhong introduced three old masters to Chu Zhuang: "Zheng Quan, Zheng Rong, Zheng Fu, the three of them are old masters, and they have nearly 30 years of experience in firing ceramics. The previous bottle It is from their hands."
When he heard that the other party had 30 years of experience, Chu Zhuang's eyes flashed with surprise.
Chu Zhuang doesn't really care much about the equipment or other things in the workshop, because these can be bought with money, but the experience of making ceramics is invaluable!
In this way, Chu Zhuang can only provide ideas in the future, and then let them independently develop various porcelains!
Talent has always been the most precious in all ages!
"The three masters are polite." Chu Zhuang bowed his hands and greeted them.
"Young Master Chu, I'll wait for you!" The status of the craftsman was not high, and the three of them were flattered when they saw that Chu Zhuang was courteous to them, and hurriedly returned the courtesy to Chu Zhuang.
"Go ahead and take a look." Chu Zhuang knew that they were uncomfortable, so he didn't continue the polite greetings. He planned to look at the facilities in the workshop and start firing porcelain as soon as possible.
After walking around, Chuzhuang is quite satisfied. Although the necessary equipment is very backward in Chuzhuang, some basic facilities are still available, such as a large amount of clay resources in the back mountain and fired caves. They have also been unable to fire porcelain vases before.
"What should we do now?" Yun Hong looked at Chu Zhuang and asked.
"I'll try to make it first, and then I'll teach you when the finished product is finished." Chu Zhuang thought for a while and said.
Let's not talk about teaching others now, at least wait for him to fire the porcelain first.
After all, although Chuzhuang can fire porcelain, it is in a modern society with complete facilities, but here, as for the most primitive way, there is not even a thermometer, and everything can only rely on feeling and experience.
"Well, good." Yunhong nodded, and now the entire porcelain workshop was handed over to Chu Zhuang, and the rest of them followed his orders.
Chu Zhuang rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, and started making.
Bone china is also a relatively complicated process, but Chuzhuang does not need those fancy patterns, it only needs to restore the simplest porcelain, so many processes have been cut out.
Yun Mengxi took a pen and paper to record the data for Chu Zhuang. Because the first time was an experiment, the ratio of Chu Zhuang was also different. He wanted to know what kind of porcelain would be fired according to the different ratios in the end. appearance.
As the sun gradually set in the west, several people in Chuzhuang simply ate something and were ready for the last and most critical step - calcination.
There is no thermometer here, Chu Zhuang can only judge by the color of the flame, such as dark red 6. .Around Celsius, crimson 7. .About 12 degrees Celsius, golden orange color. .around degrees Celsius.
The color is different, the temperature is also different.
Bone china needs to be calcined twice, and the temperature during the process needs to be controlled by Chu Zhuang.
The red light filled the sky in the cave, everyone's cheeks were blushed, and sweat was seeping from their foreheads, but no one left, and they all stood outside and waited to witness the final miracle.
……
"Grandpa He, Uncle Ding."
Guo Wen and others looked at He Daoming and Ding Chuan in front of them, and they were completely unfazed, and greeted and saluted them openly.
"Hey, that's a wrong name." He Daoming waved his hand and corrected him: "You are Mr. Chu's students, so we are considered peers. I started late, so you should call me Junior Brother. This is my student. Naturally, it is your nephew."
"Ding Chuan has met all the masters." Ding Chuan immediately bowed his hands to Guo Wen and others to say hello.
When He Daoming said that he wanted to worship Chu Zhuang as his teacher, he didn't just talk casually, he was very serious.
He has his own ideas about apprenticeship, as long as the other party is willing to teach him mathematics knowledge, he is willing to worship the other party as a teacher, so this has also led to He Daoming's apprenticeship to countless teachers in his life, but after so many years, his masters have all been buried. up.
Although Chu Zhuang is young, He Daoming doesn't care about these common customs. As long as Chu Zhuang can teach him new knowledge, he is willing to worship Chu Zhuang as his teacher.
Obviously, those disciples of He Daoming also followed He Daoming's custom of worshiping teachers, and willingly recognized him as their master.
"what?"
Guo Wen and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do. After all, they were really speechless in the face of two people who were so much older than them called Junior Brother and Senior Nephew.
"Brothers just get used to it in the future, let's start teaching now." He Daoming knew that they wouldn't be able to accept it for a while, but it didn't matter, they had a long time to come, and one day they would get used to it.
The most urgent task at the moment is to teach them the mathematics knowledge of Master Chu Zhuang as soon as possible.
"okay!"
When it came to teaching, Guo Wen and the others relaxed a lot in an instant, and each of them took on the posture of a little teacher.
"Let's start with the most basic numbers."
Guo Wen took out his notes and started teaching. Xuanxuan Linmu and others sat obediently and listened carefully.
Lin Mu and Little Ye Puppy needed supplementary knowledge, while Guo Wu and Bai Xuan needed to learn Guo Wen's lectures, which would also help them in their daily teaching.
Probably because of following Chu Zhuang, it can be seen that Guo Wen and the others bear the traces of Chu Zhuang in both their speech and behavior.
Originally, because of Guo Wen's age, Ding Chuan still had doubts and apprehensions in letting them take charge of the class.
He was afraid that these children could not even speak clearly.
But soon, Guo Wen dispelled his doubts with facts.
Guo Wen's lectures are clear and clear, and he also has a childlike charm. To be honest, this kind of lecture method is better than what they teach!
Soon He Daoming and Ding Chuan were attracted by Guo Wen's lecture.
