Before you know it, the night is about to pass.
The chickens in the village were clucking, and the sound could be heard from far away.
Dawn was about to come. Xia Qianqian yawned and went to check the situation in the kiln again.
Through the kiln and the firelight, she could already see her first batch of porcelain. The bright red porcelain stood in the kiln, and she couldn't see the color now, but she could see that the porcelain was fully formed.
"Okay, cool down and get ready to start the furnace!" Xia Qianqian was extremely excited, with a glow on her little face.
"good!"
Liu Bo and others removed the firewood and slowly lowered the furnace temperature.
Liu Neng brought some sweet potatoes from home and roasted them in the ashes. When they were just cooked, he called everyone, "Come and eat some roasted sweet potatoes. Qianqian is so talented, we will definitely succeed."
Everyone dug through the ashes and happily ate the roasted sweet potatoes.
"Everyone has worked hard." Xia Qianqian was also very happy. "From now on, we have to keep watch while firing porcelain. The fire cannot be turned off. It will be very tiring for everyone. However, you can go back and rest after the furnace is out."
"It doesn't matter. It's just a night of warming fire in the field. It's not tiring."
Everyone was eating the sweet roasted sweet potatoes and waiting for them to come out of the oven.
A streak of pale sky appeared in the east.
Qin came to the field with some hot porridge. Seeing her daughter freezing in the field all night, she felt sorry for her: "Everyone has worked hard. Let's have some porridge first!"
She stuffed an apple into Xia Qianqian's hand: "Qianqian, are you cold?"
"It's not cold, there's a fire here, it's warm!" Xia Qianqian took a bite of the apple, "Mom, why are there still apples at home? Are you hiding them and don't want to eat them?"
Qin didn't answer, and said, "No matter whether it succeeds or not, you have to be happy."
"Mom, I will succeed." Xia Qianqian said with a smile, "You have to have some faith in me!"
Qin just smiled.
It took several attempts to make tiles, let alone porcelain
Xia Dingfeng also came, and without even bothering to eat, he asked first: "How was it? Was it successful?"
"I don't know, the furnace hasn't been turned on yet." said Xia Qianqian.
"Then let's wait together."
Not only Xia Dingfeng, but everyone in the village who had nothing to do came one after another, chatting while waiting for the porcelain to come out of the kiln.
The sun slowly climbed up the hillside, and the golden morning light shone on the earth. Birds chirped and flew across the sky.
In the village, chickens crow, dogs bark, and smoke rises from cooking.
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached. Xia Qianqian turned back suddenly, her eyes shining with joy: Gu family's carriage? Gu Changsheng is coming
"Oh, Young Master Gu is here too." Xia Dingfeng stood up excitedly and ran to greet him without waiting for Xia Qianqian to speak.
The carriage came to the kiln field and slowly stopped.
"Young Master Gu, you've come at the right time. Our kiln is about to produce porcelain." Xia Dingfeng said.
The curtain of the car opened, and the person who got out of the car was Master Gu.
"Master Gu!"
Xia Dingfeng was startled and quickly retracted his hand.
Mr. Gu smiled slightly and asked kindly, "I heard that they are firing porcelain here?"
"Yes, yes." Xia Dingfeng stuttered.
"I'm here to take a look too." Mr. Gu got off the carriage with the help of Qingtong.
Xia Qianqian was extremely disappointed.
"Qianqian, go and greet them." Qin reminded.
Maybe, we will be a family in the future, and we should get along well with our elders.
Xia Qianqian wiped her hands, walked forward with a smile, and bowed: "Master Gu."
"I heard that you were firing porcelain today? I'd like to take a look. Do you mind?" asked Mr. Gu.
"Yes, it will be ready in a while. Master Gu, please come this way."
"good."
