Chapter 19 Top Grade Pottery
Happiness comes too quickly, and the Ding brothers are a little dizzy.
"Are you really willing to let us go?" Ding Dalang stared at Gu Qing's face nervously.
Gu Qing said seriously: "Looking at my eyes, have you seen full of sincerity? Yes, I will let you go, but I must heal your injuries first."
Ding Dalang said vigilantly: "Why did you suddenly become so kind?"
Gu Qing said sincerely: "You all misunderstood me. I am not a bad person. I am beaten you because you are too bad. Isn't it natural for a bad person to be beaten? Now I'm tired of beating and feel it's meaningless. If you don't let you go, would you leave you at home and waste food?"
Ding Dalang hesitated for a while and always felt something was wrong, but with his IQ, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"More, thank you..." Ding Dalang said with his head down.
Gu Qing said it was true that healed them. Song Gensheng's father left a few bags of herbs, Gu Qing decocted the medicine. After half an hour, Gu Qing brought two bowls of steaming medicine to the woodshed.
The medicine was very hot, Gu Qing put them aside, squatted down and stared at the Ding brothers' faces.
The Ding brothers were uncomfortable being stared by him and did not dare to have an attack. These days they were beaten to the point of psychological shadow. Every time they saw Gu Qing walking into the woodshed, their mood would instantly fall into the abyss, and then there was an unstoppable fear and despair. Even if Gu Qing gave them medicine now, they would tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Qing stared at them for a long time, then smiled: "Do you still hate me?"
"Um?"
"I robbed your house, robbed your money, and tortured you every day. Don't you hate me?"
Ding Dalang shook his head hurriedly: "No hatred, really no hatred, everything is worthy of our sins."
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I pretend to believe what you are telling the truth. When your injury heals, you will not be able to see me. Are you happy?"
"……happy."
"Are you surprised?"
"surprise."
"Do you think I'm handsome?"
"hansome."
"Am I a good person?"
"yes."
Gu Qing smiled brighter and brighter: "Okay, it was just a test just now, to test how unconventional humans can be when surviving."
The medicine that was on the side was warmed up slightly. Gu Qing took a bowl and blew it, handed it to Ding Dalang, and said softly: "Dalang, I've taken the medicine..."
…………
Three days later, the pottery in the pottery kiln was burned. Gu Qing and Song Gensheng went up the mountainside. Uncle Han squatted at the kiln with a serious face, waiting for the pottery kiln to remove the fire and cool down.
"Uncle Han, are you sure?" Gu Qing also squatted beside Uncle Han.
Uncle Han rubbed his face and smiled bitterly: "The old man has lived in the graphite kiln for most of his life. Before the kiln is opened, the old man can't tell the truth. Let's look at it after the kiln is opened."
Gu Qing comforted: "It's okay, even if this kiln is destroyed, it doesn't matter. If we improve it appropriately, it will be successful in the end."
Uncle Han sighed nervously: "Don't blame the old man for the boss. The old man doesn't understand graphite. If the kiln is destroyed, the old man doesn't know how to improve it..."
Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "I heard that burning kilns is like making swords, and it is important to be sincere. Is there any such statement?"
This falls within the scope of metaphysics. Uncle Han was stunned for a while and hesitated: "Yes, yes... right?"
Gu Qing glanced at Song Gensheng next to him and said regretfully: "I said it was best to kill a scholar before burning the kiln to sacrifice to heaven..."
Song Gensheng:???
The three of them squatted in front of the kiln and waited for a long time, and the temperature of the pottery kiln finally dropped.
Uncle Han took a sledgehammer and smashed the closed kiln door open. The three of them pulled them away and opened the rocks in front of the door.
A burning wave of heat hit the face, and Gu Qing and Song Gensheng took a few steps back together.
Uncle Han didn't care at all. He wrapped his hands in a wet cloth and brought a pottery bowl out of the pottery kiln. He immediately put it into the well water. Gu Qing and the others came forward and stared at the pottery bowl in the water bucket. After the pottery bowl completely cooled down, Uncle Han took it out of the well water, squinted his eyes and looked at its condition carefully.
Gu Qing couldn't understand, but he also watched. The pottery bowl emitted a golden halo in the afterglow of the sunset, which looked very delicate. The surface appeared from light to dark blue-gray color, and the colors were stacked layer by layer until the edge of the bowl.
It seems...good?
Gu Qing was not sure, so he gave up studying Taowan and changed his eyes to study Uncle Han's expression.
Seeing Uncle Han's expression gradually becoming relaxed, Gu Qing's mood suddenly became happy.
Until he found a smile flashing in Uncle Han's eyes, Gu Qing asked: "Uncle Han, what? Isn't it a waste?"
Uncle Han smiled and said, "It seems to be good to look at the surface. Now I have to look at the embryo inside..."
As he said that, Uncle Han suddenly raised the pottery bowl and knocked on a stone next to him. Uncle Han didn't know that the first time he didn't break it. The pottery bowl was still intact. Uncle Han exclaimed in surprise: "This object is solid enough."
The force was increased and it finally broke.
Uncle Han squinted his eyes and carefully observed the broken incision. After a while, he suddenly praised: "This embryo... OK! The old man has burned the kiln in most of his life. This is the first time he has seen such a tight embryo. Please see, the embryo is white and dense, with no bubbles at all. It is a top-quality product!"
Gu Qing looked at it for a while, and although he didn't understand it at all, he nodded with an authoritative look: "No, it's really the best, white and dense..."
Uncle Han said excitedly: "Good thing! This is the best kiln that the old man has burned in his life! He died with peace of mind."
As he said that, Uncle Han wrapped his hands in wet cloth, he picked up a few pottery from the kiln and said, "Try a few more, the boss. If the kiln is of the same quality, the boss will be ready to develop."
After smashing a few pottery hard, Uncle Han observed the embryo one by one, and sighed with satisfaction after a long time.
"Graphite, graphite... I never thought it would be useful and I had a great experience."
Gu Qing looked moved and smiled and said, "Uncle Han, since the kiln is ready, I will formally hire Uncle Han to come here to do things. My kiln is different from other places. You must have rules and regulations when doing things. Let's sign a contract for employment first. How about it?"
Uncle Han was stunned: "Didn't you invite me long ago?"
"It's different. The probation period a few days ago was the probation period. You will be promoted from today. If you become a regular person, you should officially leave a contract. If I treat you badly in the future, you can take the contract to the government to sue me with it, so you can have a certificate."
"The boss is a good person, how can he treat the old man badly? As long as he wants, do what the boss wants."
Gu Qing paused for a moment and said, "Uncle Han, the method of making graphite kilns is my original secret recipe. Now you know the secret recipe. Let's first villain and then gentleman. You cannot reveal the secret recipe, otherwise you will take the Wang Jue Jue. This one is also written into the contract book. Do you have no objection?"
Uncle Han is a craftsman. Craftsman is very sensitive to the word "secret recipe". Hearing this, he immediately realized that he had come into contact with the secret recipes created by others these days.
Uncle Han was suddenly moved. What kind of trust is this? It’s not a good deal. The boss just knew him and didn’t mind telling him the secret recipe. Even in the era of simple folk customs, Gu Qing’s approach was very generous and open. As for signing the contract, Uncle Han had no objection. After all, it was someone’s secret recipe. Telling him that he had a great trust. If he let others leak it, it would not be called being arrogant or being careless.
"Be a sign, be a sign! Don't worry, my boss, Xu Han swears to the sky that I will never leak a word of the secret recipe to the outside world in this life, and I will not even say my wife or baby."
Gu Qing knew that the letter of the Constitution could not guarantee anything, but the process needed was still there. If it was leaked in the future, he would not be too passive.
The kiln was successfully burned, and the next thing was the sales issue.
Gu Qing turned to look at Song Gensheng and said, "Do you know the businessmen near Qingcheng County?"
Song Gensheng shook his head: "I rarely leave the village. The only businessman I know in my life is the peddler who occasionally comes to our village to exchange goods."
