Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

"Is it really that valuable?" Zhao Xiyan was a little unconvinced.

"Really? If I lie to you, my whole family will die." Wang Liu swore, "If I can really get a batch of porcelain... then I won't have to worry about food and drink."

"Hmm."

Zhao Xiyan touched his chin and said, "Li Yun, lock them up and don't let them run away. As for freezing to death... let's forget about freezing to death."

"Fuck."

Wang Liu was scared again.

What do you mean by let's forget about freezing to death? Is this something a human can say?

"Eh."

Li Yun tied him up with a rope with disgust on his face and dragged him out.

"Village chief, what do you want to do?" Li Yu asked curiously.

"What do you think? Let's make some fake porcelain to fool the Japanese?" Zhao Xiyan chuckled. "We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway. It's winter, so there's nothing to do, right?"

"Village chief, stop it. We specialize in this. If it's fake, they'll know it at a glance." Li Baohong said with a wry smile.

"Do you know what I'm majoring in?" Zhao Xiyan pouted.

"History?" Li Baohong said uncertainly.

"It's good to know. I've seen all kinds of stuff. It's not too difficult to make some fakes to fool the Japanese."

This was half true and half false.

Zhao Xiyan did know more about cultural relics. After all, he was a history teacher, and he had a bunch of troublesome students, right?

I still remember that a student brought a painting of "Guan Erye Riding a Bicycle" and named it "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles", which made him stunned for a long time.

"Village chief, is this... is this illegal?" Li Yu said uncertainly.

"Of course."

Zhao Xiyan curled his lips and said, "But we are so poor, why are we afraid of this? What's more... we are not harming our own people, right?"

"Then do it."

Li Baohong gritted his teeth and said, "Instead of being so poor, it's better to beat him..."

"I need your consent?"

Zhao Xiyan rolled his eyes at him, looked at Li Yu and said, "Find a few masters who can burn kilns, and let's study it."

"No, village chief... Can you talk to me nicely." Li Baohong begged for mercy, "I know that I did something wrong, I just admitted my mistake."

"Well, do you really know you are wrong?" Zhao Xiyan smiled.

"I really know you are wrong." Li Baohong said hurriedly.

"If you know you are wrong, go and watch the two tomb robbers, especially the one who was shot... Don't let him die." Zhao Xiyan threw him a cigarette.

"Hey, I'll go right away."

Li Baohong left quickly with Li Yu.

Only Zhao Xiyan and Wang Yinuo were left in the office.

"Didn't you say you don't care about the village? Why are you thinking about helping them again?"

"Have you noticed a problem?" Zhao Xiyan said softly, "Why are there only men at the door in the morning, and very few women... I can't even see any."

"Why?" Wang Yinuo was surprised.

"Because some families only have one pair of pants, and women can only stay in bed." Zhao Xiyan sighed.

"Ah? Really?"

Wang Yinuo was a little unconvinced.

"What the village chief said is true."

Li Yun walked in from outside the door, blushing and said, "Our village is one of the poorest villages in Huairou... Many families don't even have decent clothes, and the children dare not get out of bed."

Wang Yinuo was silent and turned his head to look at Zhao Xiyan.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Zhao Xiyan laughed and scolded, "I'm not a god... Anyway, I'm idle, so I'll give it a try. What if I can accumulate my first pot of gold?"

"Zhao Xiyan, I believe you, you are very capable." Wang Yinuo said seriously.

"Go to hell, stop flattering me."

Zhao Xiyan stood up and walked out the door, and Li Yun quickly followed him.

Wang Yinuo sat quietly for a long time, and finally sighed.

Sometimes she wondered what her parents liked about Zhao Xiyan. This guy had a bad temper and was not gentle with women at all. Although he was good-looking and capable, he was married after all.

What was even more infuriating was that he had so many concubines. If this got out, he would be shot eight times.

"Ah."

She sighed quietly and walked out.

But as soon as she went out, she was frightened by the scene.

Outside the village branch, people were sweeping snow and fetching water. Everyone was busy.

Zhao Xiyan was chatting with an old man, writing and drawing in a notebook in his hand.

"Master Li, the structure of my house is almost like this... You can do it as you see fit."

"Hey, village chief, I can't bear the title of 'Master Engineer', just call me Li Jiewen." The old man said hurriedly.

"Got it, Master Li, take your people to work." Zhao Xiyan handed him a cigarette and shouted, "Who is Li Keliang, come here quickly..."

"Here I am."

A middle-aged man came to him quickly and shouted "Village Chief" with some fear.

"Stand up straight."

After Zhao Xiyan scolded, he smiled and said, "Have you ever been the manager of a porcelain kiln?"

"Well, when I was fleeing, I was arrested and taken to Ruzhou. I stayed there for 20 years and came back after liberation." Li Keliang said cautiously.

"Ruzhou?"

Zhao Xiyan was overjoyed, "So, you can make Ru kilns?"

"Village Chief, the Ru kilns now are not the same as the previous ones." Li Keliang said with a bitter face, "The previous craftsmanship has long been lost. There was once a big boss who took a Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln sky blue glaze sunflower washbasin and asked us to imitate it. But after firing many furnaces, it was completely different. ”

Flower wash, in fact, is a brush washer.

This thing was used by scholars in the past to wash brushes. If it is really the Ru kiln celadon glaze sunflower wash that Song Xilian knows, it was sold for more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which is scary.

"Are you crazy? Do you want to make a real one?" Zhao Xiyan rolled his eyes at him and curled his lips, "Let's make a fake one and fool others, right?"

"Village chief, it's not that I refuse. Those who play with these things have a very sharp eye. They can see it at a glance..." Li Keliang sighed.

"Then are you questioning my decision?" Zhao Xiyan squinted.

Pah!

Li Keliang was hit on the head.

"You dare to question the decision of the village chief?" Li Baohong scolded.

"No, I dare not, I dare not..." Li Keliang said hurriedly.

"It's good that you don't dare. Do you know where to find kaolin and bentonite? " Zhao Xiyan handed him a cigarette.

"I know, there is a lot of kaolin and bentonite next to the riverbank between us and Xiahe Village, but it's on the mountain." Li Keliang whispered, "There is a small iron mine on the mountain... There is a lot of bentonite next to it."

"Okay, go get it."

Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile and breathed a sigh of relief.

What is kaolin? Jingdezhen became the "Porcelain Capital" because of a large amount of kaolin. As for bentonite, there are quite a lot of this stuff. It is generally a non-metallic mineral with montmorillonite as the main mineral component. What is montmorillonite?

It is the Guanyin soil in the old society.

Guanyin soil can be eaten because it makes you feel full, but it cannot be digested and you will be suffocated to death.
