Chapter 61: Glazed porcelain

Views:

According to the news from the Huangsha Department, the caravan will arrive in a few days.

Zhuang Yu thought about it, and had to find a way to make them come to Chidi City frequently in the future besides this time.

Chidi City now has Snowflake Salt, which is a bargaining chip.

But this alone is not enough, because the road is too difficult to walk because of the yellow sand.

There are still many things to be resolved, but for now...

Zhuang Yu was going back to his residence, but a tall figure stood in front of him, blocking his way.

"Shao... Shaohao?" Zhuang Yu trembled, don't ask him why he trembled, and among the 800 people who sank into the desert swamp, there were many people from Baidi City.

As the young master of Baidi City, Shaohao couldn't be unresponsive.

Zhuang Yu thought, is it finally here

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" came Shaohao's voice.

Zhuang Yu raised his head, "From the moment they entered Chidi, they were my enemies."

Shaohao has reasons for questioning, and he also has reasons for doing so.

The air seemed to freeze.

After a while, Shaohao's voice came, "They... also called you Archmage, so there is no other way?"

Zhuang Yu thought, perhaps, they once called the Archmage sincerely, but now it is self-evident what purpose they have entered Chidi.

Zhuang Yu asked, "Then tell me what can I do? You are Baidi Shaojun, you have your position, but if you were me, what would you do?"

Shaohao was silent.

Even he couldn't stop his father's decision.

Zhuang Yu smiled, walked around Shaohao to his residence.

There is actually an insurmountable gap between him and Shaohao, but no one thought about it before, but now that the incident broke out, no one can escape.

Perhaps, it is really impossible between him and Shaohao. Shaohao is the young master of Baidi City, and he will go back one day.

Zhuang Yu doesn't know what mood he is in now. He also wavered when he led the troops of Ruidi City and Baidi City into the desert swamp, but no matter how he wavered, he couldn't change the result. On his shoulders, He has been carrying the same mission since he was born. He is Lie Shanyu, the young master of Chidi.

Zhuang Yu passed by Shaohao expressionlessly, maybe after today, their relationship will never be the same as before, the days when the two got along very comfortably.

However, Zhuang Yu passed by Shaohao, and suddenly Shaohao reached out and grabbed Zhuang Yu, "Are you thinking that this is the end of us?"

Zhuang Yu opened his mouth, isn't that the end, can he still plant a grove with you

If you want to blame, you can only blame us, one is Chidi Shaojun and the other is Baidi Shaojun.

Shaohao looked at Zhuang Yu seriously, "The things I believe are not so easy to change."

Zhuang Yu was taken aback, "What are you going to do?"

Shaohao said, "I will find a way to get the troops of Baidi City to leave Chidi, but before that, you and I cannot be shaken in your idea of becoming a partner, understand?"

Zhuang Yu blinked his eyes, this Xiong Hao, what is going on

Shaohao, "It was you who agreed to be my partner at the beginning, now it's too late to regret it."

Zhuang Yu said in a low voice, "I'm only wavering for a little bit, everyone will be wavering because of our position."

Shaohao's face was a bit ugly, so he just talked about it casually, but he was really shaken unexpectedly.

Before Zhuang Yu had time to react, Shaohao resisted Zhuang Yu and left.

Zhuang Yu was taken aback, "You... what are you doing?"

Dangling around, doesn't he want to show his image

Shaohao's voice came, "I will make you unshakable in the future."

Zhuang Yu was taken aback, what do you mean? Why can't this man speak clearly? His heart grows on himself. Can Shaohao interfere without wavering

"Where are we going?" Zhuang Yu asked, because Shaohao resisted him and walked out of the city.

Shaohao's voice came, "Xiao Shulin, let's deal with the matter first, let's see how you waver in the future."

Zhuang Yu's mouth became O-shaped, maybe Shaohao is thinking about that right now.

He wasn't even ready.

Behind him, Little Mushroom looked at the two suspiciously, what are they doing? Then, seeing how Zhuang Yu was swinging back and forth on Shaohao's shoulders, he covered his little face, it was a one-sided battle, and then hurriedly followed.

"Shaohao, listen to me, your grove hasn't grown up at all." Along the way, Zhuang Yu tried to persuade Shaohao.

Shaohao replied, "I've come to understand clearly these days, your Chidi City doesn't have the same customs as ours in Baidi City, even if there is no grove, it's fine."

Zhuang Yu: "..."

Damn, this Xiong Hao wants to play for real today, and wait for his body to grow stronger, so he won't be under pressure now.

Zhuang Yu's mind is full of words now, the sword pierces the bottom of the sea, and the bottom of the sea has to be pierced.

I didn't react all the way, so I arrived at the place where the few small saplings were.

Zhuang Yu was let down, his face was red, and he swallowed his saliva. It was the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair.

Shaohao said, "Let's begin."

Zhuang Yu quickly jumped up, "Start... start? No, no, no, look at these little saplings, there are only a few of them, and they just grow little saplings. How about we continue to raise them?"

Shaohao looked at Zhuang Yu, "You don't want to? Couples must know how to do this kind of thing after all."

Zhuang Yu swallowed, this Xiong Hao is determined today.

Shaohao wanted to use this to confirm the relationship and prevent Zhuang Yu from being shaken in the future. This is also the most commonly used method by the tribe members.

When the two are related, they can sleep in the same nest naturally. Although it is simple and there is no need to swear to everyone, it is just like a ceremony.

In fact, Zhuang Yu is not a tweaker, it's just...

Zhuang Yu glanced at the solemn Shaohao, who was a head taller than him, full of intimidation, and gritted his teeth, "How about I swear to you? I will never waver again."

Shaohao frowned, "You... why don't you want to?"

Since she agreed to be his partner, shouldn't such things be done every day

Zhuang Yu blushed. If he didn't explain clearly today, it seemed that he couldn't leave.

Zhuang Yu approached Shaohao, whispered something, then lowered his head with his face flushed.

Shaohao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhuang Yu's small body, and after a long time, he was afraid of this.

It turned out that I was not as unwilling as I thought.

I don't know why, the originally low mood suddenly healed up, as if I had eaten honey in my heart, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of you."

But before he finished speaking, Zhuang Yu ran away.

This Xiong Hao, like a barbarian, always wants to confirm the relationship.

But Zhuang Yu also smiled, isn't that a popular saying on earth? If your husband is not interested in you, the first thing he will show is that he doesn't touch you anymore.

Although this statement is a bit biased and confuses feelings with that, it is not unreasonable.

Mutual attraction is not only spiritual. Zhuang Yu, for example, sometimes likes to see Shaohao's wild appearance wearing beach shorts and holding a stone gun.

Shaohao licked his lips and was about to catch up, when a small mushroom poked his foot with a stick.

Little Mushroom raised his head, looked at Shaohao, then pointed to the side, come on, it's time for us to communicate between two adults, do you have any thoughts about our family Yu? Let me tell you, Yu belongs to Mushroom Boy.

Shaohao: "..."

Shaohao doesn't care about the little mushroom now, he turns around and leaves.

ah? Little Mushroom was stunned for a moment, this man is too courageous, dare to ignore Mushroom Boy

Pick up the small stick, chase after Shaohao's feet and poke, watching Mushroom Boy's invincible chasing soul poke.

It's just that Shaohao's speed is really too fast.

Zhuang Yu went back to the courtyard and went back to his room to sleep.

However, as soon as he lay down, Shaohao walked in solemnly, and before Zhuang Yu could react, he said solemnly, "We are partners, we have to sleep together."

After finishing speaking, he added, "Even if it doesn't matter, I still have to sleep in a nest."

Zhuang Yu: "..."

Shaohao lay down beside Zhuang Yu in a serious manner, and then hugged Zhuang Yu in his arms like a bear hugging a cub.

Zhuang Yu thought, oh my god, didn't you give him time to react

In fact, Shaohao did feel the pressure, the relationship between Red Emperor City and White Emperor City was their biggest obstacle, but he didn't want to give up, and he didn't want Zhuang Yu to give up, so he was a little more urgent.

Zhuang Yu thought, what are the chores now

Zhuang Yu pretended to be "yes", he was justified, what's so great, couples can do this, not to mention they are partners now.

Although, I don't know how many deer are galloping in my heart.

This is the first time he has been so close to a person.

After moving a little bit outward, Shaohao hugged him back, like a big bear hugging a little bear cub.

The corners of Shaohao's mouth curled up.

Sure enough, thin-skinned people have no meat to eat, I should have known...

The whole room fell silent, which was wrong, because the sound of two heartbeats could be clearly heard.

After a while, Shaohao said, "No matter what, we can work together to solve it."

Zhuang Yu snorted "hmm", his voice was trembling because he was afraid that what he would say aloud.

There was a wild and dangerous guy lying beside him, and his whole body was tense.

Shaohao said, "Go to sleep."

In fact, neither of them fell asleep. This place... will be their nest from now on.

Zhuang Yu was also a little bit emotional, he actually formed a nest with another person

At least so far, it feels pretty good.

Wrapped in that strong and familiar atmosphere, he also seemed to feel safe.

When Little Mushroom ran back swinging his calf, he was dumbfounded when he opened the door.

what did it see

Ah ah screamed and rushed up, villain.

Mushroom Boy was so excited that he felt that he had turned into a green mushroom now.

Grabbing and kicking again, this is Mushroom Boy and Yu's room, you are not allowed to sleep here, you big villain.

Shaohao pretended he didn't hear it, anyway, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and his Eternal Emperor Body in Baidi City can't even be broken by a sword, let alone being scratched a few times by this little mushroom.

Little Mushroom was furious, this dead man didn't react at all, even Mushroom Boy couldn't push him.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Mushroom boy was so tired that his hands and feet went limp. Could it be that this big, lifeless guy turned into some kind of beast? Also too heavy.

Seeing that it was useless to kick and slap the opponent's face, Little Mushroom ran to Zhuang Yu's neck with tears in his eyes.

Yu, wake up, you have been taken advantage of by others, and you are almost eaten up.

The mushroom boy was rolling with anger, and it knew that this guy had no good intentions, and had secretly watched his Yu before.

Now they are blatantly grabbing the bed with Mushroom Boy.

Seeing that he couldn't wake people up, Mushroom boy struggled for a long time, thinking, he still doesn't believe he won't wake up tomorrow.

Mushroom boy crawled between the two of them and lay down straight, hum, Mushroom boy wants to separate you and rest to do bad things.

The night was dark and the weather was getting colder, huddled together.

When Zhuang Yu woke up the next day, he saw the little mushroom next to him, even in his sleep, his little face was full of anger, and his little hands and feet were clawing at the air, as if he was fighting someone.

As for Shaohao, the corners of his mouth were raised.

Zhuang Yu smiled, and ran out to deal with the caravan by himself.

When the little mushroom woke up, it let out an astonishing scream with its mouth upturned, and then ran around the house.

Where did Yu go? Why was he sleeping with the big villain's face in his arms

55555, Mushroom Boy was taken advantage of by others.

Shaohao looked at this chirping little mushroom, logically the smarter the monster, the more powerful it would be. No matter how you look at it, this little mushroom is a bit too smart, but it's strange that he didn't realize how powerful it is.

The little mushroom was so angry that its mouth was raised high.

Shaohao got up and put the little mushroom on his head, "Shall we go find Yu?"

Little Mushroom grasped her hair tightly with both hands, and raised her head. Don't think that Mushroom Boy will compromise if he is willing to be Mushroom Boy's dragon mount.

Little Mushroom stood on Shaohao's head, clutching his hair tightly, Shenlong, let's go, let's go find Yu.

At this time, Zhuang Yu was at the gate of Chidi City, and in a few days, the caravan from outside was coming, so he still had to prepare.

But within a few days, he couldn't figure out why, so Zhuang Yu simply asked the Yunmeng clan to move the snowflake salt to the gate of the city to finish the job.

In Chidi City, there are children and ordinary people living there, so it is inconvenient for a large number of outsiders to enter.

The place to trade can only be at the gate of the city.

Bags of salt are placed on both sides, leaving a path for walking in the middle, because there is more salt, and it looks quite spectacular.

It is rare for a caravan outside to come to Scarlet Emperor City. It stands to reason that all the good things in Red Emperor City can be exchanged for more needed supplies, but...

Apart from this salt, their Red Emperor City really has nothing else to offer.

For example, meat, etc., I believe that the caravans from outside came all the way, not in exchange for meat.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, the salt alone is indeed a bit thinner, but time is running out...

However, it's not without other things, it's just that such a little time can't make too much.

Zhuang Yu's idea is to let the caravans outside know that they have good things in Chidi City, so that they will take the initiative to come to Chidi City in the future. With trade, Chidi City can really become rich.

Therefore, in addition to the Snowflake Salt, which is many times better than Yanshi, he had to produce something that only they had in Chidi City, but not outside.

Zhuang Yu walked to the place where the glass was burned. He would use these few days to burn some porcelain.

Ruidi City looks down on people from other forces because pottery can show off its power, so... When the news spread that Red Emperor City has porcelain that is more beautiful and durable than pottery, it will be a sensation.

Zhuang Yu began to use soil to make clay embryos, and now the fire kiln can turn the sand into glass, so there is no problem in firing porcelain.

After pinching a few, a group of radishheads from the Golden Centipede Department ran over after exercising. Seeing Zhuang Yu pinching the mud embryo, he hurriedly said, "Brother Yu, we are here to help."

Zhuang Yu smiled, he could do one more in the past few days, and he did a little less by himself.

Simply call some women from Chidi City and let them learn to knead mud embryos with a group of little radish heads.

These women have the experience of kneading clay pots last time, so they learn much faster.

And Zhuang Yu ran to the lava pool after he had taught it almost. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have seen some glazed stones last time.

Glaze stone is the raw material for making glaze slurry, and glaze slurry is used for coloring porcelain.

The reason why porcelain has various colors is that before firing, various patterns are drawn on it with glaze.

When Zhuang Yu came to the lava pool, he found many glazed stones of different colors.

I am happy to move the glaze stone to the place where porcelain is fired.

Shaohao and Little Mushroom were also there, and Little Mushroom had long forgotten the unhappiness of last night, playing in mud with a group of little radishheads had a lot of fun.

Zhuang Yu looked at Shaohao, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason.

In fact, it's nothing. They didn't do anything wrong last night, but the feeling is different.

Zhuang Yu was about to find something to break the glaze stone, at this moment, Shaohao silently picked up a glaze stone and pinched it, the powder of the glaze stone leaked out from between his fingers, "I will help you."

Zhuang Yu was overjoyed, this saved him a whole process.

Quickly dissolve the powder into the water to make a glaze slurry.

Then the wool was used to make a pen, glued with glaze paste, and painted on the clay embryo.

A group of little radish heads gathered around, "Brother Yu, is he going to make pottery? But last time we didn't use this strange colored water for pottery."

Zhuang Yu smiled and didn't answer. They will know the difference later.

Apply the glaze slurry, and then take the finished mud embryo to fire.

Even the tribal women who helped knead the clay, and the Ghost Willow clan who helped bake it, thought they were firing pottery again, because they did the same thing last time, and this time it was just that the shape of the clay changed a bit.

The clay pot from last time is now the favorite thing of every household. It is very cherished and used to cook broth with great care.

In Chidi City, every household is using pottery now, and no one will believe it if they tell it. Looking at their pottery pots, they all have an unspeakable pride in their hearts, and the whole family gathers around and burns them The clay pot of water can be enjoyed for a long time, and I am very contented.

Zhuang Yu stood by the fire kiln, always paying attention to the firing situation.

When the baked things were brought out, the ghost willow clan and the women who made the clay embryo were all dumbfounded.

what did they see That is definitely the most beautiful color in the world.

Chidi used to be nothing but yellow, and then Shaojun attracted the water of the Northern Darkness, and only then did a touch of green begin to grow.

At that time, the whole Chidi City was crazy, and their Chidi City actually appeared green. Even now, whenever they see those green grasslands grazing, their mood becomes extra good.

But now, in front of their eyes, other colors appeared again, and it wasn't just one color.

Not to mention them, even a group of little radish heads with a porcelain bowl opened their mouths wide, and surrounded them howling.

"Oh my god, what is this? It looks better than our white jade bowl."

Their bowls are their favorite things, and they are usually very precious.

"There are flowers on this bowl, red and white flowers, it's so big, it looks so beautiful." Xiaoluotou shouted, his voice was full of dreams.

Zhuang Yu glanced at it. It was a bowl painted with a lotus in glaze, and it looked really good.

"There are flowers growing on this bowl, and the flowers are so beautiful." Others were also muttering to themselves, still a little in disbelief.

In their eyes, pottery is already a very important thing, but... now this thing looks better than pottery.

The white jade-like bowl and pink flowers are like rare treasures no matter how you look at them.

At this time, the little mushroom pointed to a bowl and yelled, his little face was flushed with excitement.

Everyone looked over, and the bowl was painted with mushrooms, cute and beautiful, similar in appearance to mushroom boys.

Mushroom boy has already run over, hugging the bowl with his little hands, rubbing his little face against it.

This bowl belongs to Mushroom Boy, it is so cute, and there are mushrooms on it. As for the porcelain plate it used to eat on, it decided not to, and now it wants this.

Of course, in addition to these two kinds of bowls, there are also those painted with red carp, some with green grass, and so on.

The light in the eyes of a group of people never stopped.

They are so beautiful that even the most beautiful gemstones in the world will be overshadowed by them.

Zhuang Yu couldn't teach these people to draw patterns with glaze, because painting can't be learned in a short time, so the other bowls are the most common white porcelain bowls.

But even if it was a white porcelain bowl, a group of tribal women and people from the Guiliu clan looked radiant when holding it, and couldn't put it down.

For them, what they are holding now is the most beautiful treasure.

Thinking about it, even pottery they regard as a very great thing, let alone these superior porcelain.

Zhuang Yu asked them to continue firing porcelain, and he was also firing more patterns.

It took a group of women and the Ghost Willow clan a long time to recover from the shock.

Then he looked at the fired porcelain and Zhuang Yu at the same time. These things belonged to their Chidi City. It is unbelievable to think about it, but it is the truth! ! ! !

Zhuang Yu asked others to burn the bowls, but he managed to make a long vase, about two meters high, with a picture of a complete plum blossom tree on the vase, which took him a lot of time, but he believed it was worth it , because he wants to let the merchants in other places know that they have good things in Chidi

When the vase was taken out, all the sounds stopped.

Everything around seemed to have lost its color, and only the extremely beautiful vase was left in his eyes.

The blooming Kazuki plum blossom became the only one in the world.

It is absolutely the most beautiful thing in the world.

Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment, because even the sound of breathing stopped around him, and all eyes were on the tall vase.

Chidi lacks color, which is definitely the most gorgeous thing in Chidi. The blood plum printed on the white porcelain shakes everyone's heart.

Zhuang Yu shouted, "Everyone, come and help, this thing is easy to break."

Fall... smash

The hearts of the people in Chidi City shrank. If they were broken in front of them, they would have to die immediately.

The person came up to help the vase, but his hands couldn't help shaking, and he felt nervous.

Zhuang Yu couldn't help showing a smile. In fact, it is just a big vase. If it is really broken, he can still burn out thousands of dollars. In fact, there is no need to be so nervous.

He lifted the vase to the side and placed it on the side. It was placed very smoothly, but a group of people were still supporting it.

Zhuang Yu also let them go, and said, "The ones we fired just now are called porcelain, and they are more complicated and superior vessels than pottery."

Porcelain

A group of people listened carefully, just looking at these porcelains, they also know that they are much more exquisite than dusty pottery.

If others know, their Chidi City will start to dislike pottery, I don't know what expression it will be.

Zhuang Yu pointed to a pile of porcelain bowls and said, "We used to eat with our hands in Chidi City. In fact, if our hands are too dirty, we will easily get sick. From now on, we will use this kind of porcelain bowls to eat in Chidi City."

Eat in porcelain bowls

Eat in these jewel-like porcelain bowls

Just listening to it, the people in Scarlet Emperor City couldn't help shivering, they all wanted to hide them well, Shaojun actually said they were for eating.

Then a sense of pride rose in my heart, which of the five forces can do what they do

They couldn't even imagine what it would be like for the people in Chidi City to eat with such a porcelain bowl.

There was a bright light in his eyes, as if he had thought of something extraordinary in his mind.

Because Ruidi City has pottery, it has always looked down on other forces, and even called people from other forces barbarians.

Now, they dare to say this in Ruidi City, and they will swell their faces every minute.

After a while, a member of the tribe pointed to the vase and asked, "Young Master, isn't this also for eating?"

He trembled when he spoke, as if he had said something extraordinary.

But with Shaojun's miraculous thinking, it can't be said that he really eats.

It's just such a big container, it seems that ordinary people can't use it, right

Zhuang Yu laughed, "That's not true, it's a vase for arranging flowers."

Insert... flower arrangement

A group of people were in a daze.

This vase, which is like a gift from the gods, is just... for arranging flowers

Fortunately, they have been shocked by Shaojun countless times before, otherwise they would not be able to stand firmly.

What kind of noble flower is qualified to use this vase

That's totally unimaginable.

But Shaojun said it is used for flower arrangement, so let's use it for flower arrangement.

Their chests are all straightened up, and when they introduce it to others in the future, they should be like Shao Jun and say nonchalantly that it is used for arranging flowers, and it will kill a bunch of people if they don't see it.

However, someone said, "Shaojun, should we carry it back now and hide it, this is the treasure of our Scarlet Emperor City."

Arcana? Zhuang Yu was stunned for a while, and said, "It must be carried back, but there is no need to hide it, just carry it to the gate of the city, and decorate it for us."

Carry... Carry to the gate of the city

They all thought they heard it wrong, thought it was a piece of junk picked up by the side of the road

After confirming again and again, they were confused and left with the vase carefully.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, and it seemed incongruous to place a vase at the door. Now there is just a little time left, let him get another big vase out.

This time Zhuang Yu painted peonies with glaze, which is extremely gorgeous.

Zhuang Yu asked the members of the Guiliu clan to speed up the firing of ordinary white porcelain bowls.

After firing, it was directly transported to the gate of the city.

Today, the gate of Chidi City is like a market, divided into two rows, with bags of salt neatly placed at the front, leading to the distance.

Near the gate of the city, there are white porcelain bowls like white jade. The quantity is definitely not as much as that of salt. The white porcelain bowls are placed on the animal skins on the ground, which looks very precious.

If it is said that the paving of animal skins makes these white porcelain bowls look extremely precious, then the small number of colored porcelain bowls behind each one seems to be full of luxury and unique.

Each one is like a worldly treasure.

Finally, we have arrived at the gate of the city. Under the gate, there are two vases about two meters high. The gorgeous colors make people unable to move their eyes away. Without the arrogance of the royal family, he just stood there so prominently.

Even if they stop at random, nothing can cover their expressions.

Zhuang Yu's preparations are almost ready.

At this time, the caravan was also approaching Chidi City, but they stopped. Even though they were still far away, they were all attracted by the sunshades reflecting the light of Chidi City.

"Then... what is it? It's so unparalleled."

The people in the caravan were stunned. Didn't they say that Chidi City is the poorest and most monotonous existence among the five major forces

So, what do they see
