There were disappointed voices from the crowd.
Xia Dingfeng jumped out and said angrily, "Why give it away for free? Doesn't Qianqian have to pay for making porcelain? You're just thinking about good things, why don't you go to the kiln and work for free?"
Xia Dingfeng's words were ugly but his logic was true, and those who wanted to take advantage of him were left speechless.
"I hate it most when people try to take advantage of others! If I'm willing to give something, I'll give it to you without you even asking. If I'm not willing to give something, I won't give it to you even if you ask for it eight or ten times!" Xia Qianqian said sternly.
The crowd fell silent and the atmosphere became awkward.
Aunt Liu came over with some tea and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Have some tea!"
Xia Qianqian took the tea, took a few sips, and swept her sharp eyes over the crowd of onlookers: "Everyone is welcome to visit the kiln field at any time, but be careful and don't come here to embarrass yourself."
Xia Dingfeng held his head high and said in a very impressive manner, "That's right! Don't think that my Xia family will fall just because something happened to them! The Xia family is still the Xia family! No one can bully my niece!"
"Sister, I brought Dahei and Erhei here. From now on, let them watch over the kiln fields." Xia Yu led the dogs over, and the clear childish voice temporarily eased the awkwardness of the scene.
Xia Qianqian's expression eased and she patted Xia Yu's head: "There are people on duty sleeping in the kiln field to watch over it at night, so there's no need for a dog."
"The dog has a sharp nose and is very alert. If someone comes to steal porcelain at night, it will bite him to death!" said Xia Yu.
Children's words are harmless, but they can stop some people from having evil intentions.
Xia Qianqian laughed secretly in her heart.
Everyone watched for a while and then dispersed. Some stayed to help with the work. Xia Qianqian observed and secretly remembered which ones worked honestly and which ones tried to take advantage of the situation, so that she could keep them in mind when hiring workers in the future.
…
Next, Xia Qianqian studied porcelain every day.
She wanted to use the existing materials to make better porcelain to the best of her ability.
After firing rough porcelain for several days in a row, Xia Qianqian's porcelain became better and better. But inferior porcelain clay is inferior, and it is impossible to fire better porcelain.
However, Xia Qianqian had already figured out the kiln's temperament. She planned to use good clay to see if she could make high-end porcelain. The inferior clay would be used for the workers to practice and learn how to make porcelain.
Everything went on in an orderly manner, and before they knew it, a lot of porcelain was piled up in the simple warehouse. But Xia Qianqian had no intention of selling the porcelain.
She wanted to wait for Gu Changsheng to come and take a look before taking it to town to sell.
But when will he come
He was sick at home and she was busy at the kiln, and in the blink of an eye they hadn't seen each other for several days.
Suddenly she realized that her longing for him had gone far beyond the boundaries of friendship.
Although she knew it was not right, she could no longer control herself...
"Qianqian, Master Gu is here!"
Just then, Xia Dingfeng's excited voice came.
Xia Qianqian was like a chicken with its blood pumped up. She immediately dropped the half-formed porcelain in her hand and ran to the side of the road.
No rules or etiquette were taken into account.
The villagers who were working in the fields looked on and smiled knowingly.
Xia Qianqian's behavior seemed very unreserved to them, but they thought she was very cute and sincerely hoped that she and Young Master Gu could have a good future.
As soon as Gu Changsheng got off the carriage, he saw Xia Qianqian running towards him.
He was in a trance for a moment, his thin lips curled slightly, and he slowly smiled.
The warm spring sun shone on him, and Xia Qianqian felt that he was like a little sun, attracting her...
