When Yang returned home, Grandma Xia asked anxiously, "How is it? How is it?"
"She said she would make porcelain in the future," Yang said.
"Well, I'm relieved." Grandma Xia breathed a sigh of relief. "There are still a few chickens in the backyard. When you think they've finished eating, kill another one and send it over."
"yes."
Compared to the lazy and gluttonous Xia Dingfeng, Xia Qianqian is more reliable.
As long as Xia Qianqian can still make porcelain, the Xia family still has a future and will still be the richest family in Yangliu Village - Xia Qianqian is a member of the Xia family, and if she becomes rich, it will be a shining star for the Xia family!
And with Qin's character, she would never watch her relatives starve or freeze.
… … …
Xia Qianqian rested at home for seven or eight days and was fine.
All the worried sequelae did not seem to happen to her.
Xia Dingfeng drove her to the town and saw Li Sui for follow-up consultations twice, but no abnormalities were found. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially the Qin family.
After the New Year, the spring days are getting warmer and the temperature is getting higher day by day.
The soil began to thaw, and the spring breeze blew the straw covering the porcelain clay everywhere.
Xia Qianqian has already started preparing to build a porcelain kiln, but Gu Changsheng still hasn't come to see her.
He clearly said he would come to see her, but not only did he not show up, he also sent someone to Yangliu Village to see her.
Xia Qianqian felt a long-lost sense of loss, just like not receiving the flowers from Gu Yanjing on Valentine's Day.
"Qianqian, I have found the people." Uncle Liu brought a few strong and responsible young people to report to Xia Qianqian.
One of them was Liu Neng, who once helped Xia Qianqian build and look after the tile kiln.
"Qianqian, are you better now?" Liu Neng asked.
"It's ready." Xia Qianqian was very satisfied with them. "This time I not only need your kiln, but also need you to burn porcelain together. I want to hire you as long-term workers, and the salary is 20 cents a day."
"good!"
Liu Neng and others were very happy.
Twenty cents a day, the same as the market price. And it's near home, saving food and lodging, and all the money earned is net money!
"The work will be hard, so you should be mentally prepared," said Xia Qianqian.
Porcelain cannot just be made into shapes with clay, but also requires painting patterns and glazing, which is a much more complicated process than firing tiles.
"We are not afraid of hard work," said Liu Neng and others.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Xia Qianqian took out the blueprints and took them to the kiln field to measure and spread ash.
After a while, the general shape of the porcelain kiln emerged.
“Dig!”
Xia Qianqian gave the order.
"yes."
A few hoes were used to dig the earth and build a kiln.
When the villagers heard about it, they all came to see it. Everyone looked at Liu Neng and others with envy, and they also wanted to be hired!
Grandma Xia came to Yaotian in an exaggerated manner, carrying a rooster, candles, eggs, rice cakes and other things.
"Hey, Qianqian, you're going to start construction today, why didn't you tell grandma? Grandma has to pray for good luck for you!"
Without waiting for Xia Qianqian to say anything, Grandma Xia had already stood on her bound feet, spread out the items, and began to offer sacrifices to the heavens, the earth, and the ancestors, and pray for blessings for the porcelain kiln.
Xia Qianqian and Qin looked at each other speechlessly.
She really doesn't care about this and doesn't believe it.
After the blessing, Grandma Xia distributed her steamed rice cakes to everyone. Xia Qianqian got the biggest piece. The white rice cake was sprinkled with brown sugar powder and was sweet and soft.
"Qianqian, you're just getting well, so you should take care of yourself. Since you've hired people, let them work and you just supervise them." Grandma Xia smiled ingratiatingly, with wrinkles all over her face.
