Li Rong rode in a horse-drawn carriage, showing off his official authority, and visited Yangliu Village in person the next day.
The entire Yangliu Village was in an uproar, and everyone knelt on both sides of the road to kowtow to the county magistrate.
"Fellow villagers, please don't be so polite. I'm here to buy porcelain today." Li Rong raised his hand to let everyone off the hook. "Where is Xia Porcelain? Which villager can help show me the way?"
"I come!"
"I come!"
Several villagers took Li Rong to Yaotian.
Liu Bo and others were making sharp weapons, while Xia Qianqian was responsible for shaping them.
They had just started the business and the shapes of the porcelain they made were not perfect, but after being reshaped by Xia Qianqian, they seemed to be reborn.
In addition to the workers employed by the porcelain kiln, there were also some children who came on their own initiative to learn how to make porcelain.
Xia Qianqian did not refuse and gave them some scraps and let them tinker with them on their own.
Li Rong got off the car and walked over. Seeing this scene from afar, he sighed: "This place has begun to take shape. Maybe in the near future, Yangliu Village will become a major porcelain production center like Maoshi Town and become famous in Xuan Country."
"Qianqian, Lord Li is here." After hearing this, Qin hurried over from home.
Now that her eyesight has improved, she no longer has to rely on groping to move around.
She was born elegant, and even after marrying into a peasant family, that temperament remained.
The breeze blew gently, Qin had a decent smile on her face, her eyes were bright as stars, and her dress fluttered.
When Li Rong took a look, he suddenly thought of Qin Jin's sister!
When they were classmates, Qin Jin drew a picture. The woman in the picture was in a fluttering dress with a beautiful face. Wasn't she the woman taking small steps in front of him
"I greet Lord Li." Qin bowed.
"Are you Qin Xue?" Li Rong asked.
Qin was startled for a moment, but soon calmed down and shook her head gently: "I have a surname but no name."
"Oh." Li Rong thought to himself: I am really confused. How could Qin Jin's sister be a village woman from Yangliu Village
"Lord Li." Xia Qianqian came over and saluted.
"Xia Qianqian, I heard that you made porcelain, let me come and take a look."
"Okay, Lord Li, please come this way!" Xia Qianqian whispered a few words to Qin, and Qin went home first.
Xia Qianqian took Li Rong to visit the porcelain kiln and warehouse.
A lot of porcelain had been sold in the past few days, so there weren't many left in the warehouse, but it was enough to shock Li Rong.
"Xia Qianqian, where did you learn this technique?" Li Rong asked.
Xia Qianqian smiled in a mysterious way: "The secret cannot be revealed."
Li Rong was an open-minded official, and he did not force her. Instead, he encouraged Xia Qianqian: "Work hard! Try to lead Yangliu Village to prosperity!"
"Lord Li, I will try my best. Later, can you help promote my porcelain so that it can be sold in the county?" Xia Qianqian asked happily.
"Sure. But the porcelain you have now is too coarse to be accepted in the county town."
"I still have some good porcelain, Lord Li, please wait a moment."
"Good porcelain?" Li Rong looked at the rough porcelain in the warehouse and thought that this was all Xia Qianqian's skill. How much better could it be
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll wait and see."
After a while, Qin came with a bag on her back. Xia Qianqian closed the door of the warehouse and opened the bag. Inside were two celadon bowls and several white porcelain teacups. They were all glazed, with warm and shiny colors.
Li Rong was stunned: "Did you burn this too?"
"Yes." Xia Qianqian looked at Li Rong with a smile, "In fact, it is not difficult to make good porcelain. I am just short of good porcelain clay now."
Li Rong picked up the celadon bowl and admired it carefully.
