Because Meizhou used to be a county, Lu’s parents still hoped that their daughter could live and work in a city with better resources in the future, so the couple never thought about this aspect.
No parent really wants their children to stay away from them. They have to make compromises for the sake of their children's future.
If Meizhou really becomes a region and a city, then there is nothing to consider, it’s the best of both worlds!
"The old secretary still comes to stay with us for a few days every summer, and every time he comes quietly, saying he wants to hide away." Ma Lu said: "He did say that college students now have a two-way choice. If Qiaoqiao’s work is difficult to arrange, you must tell him in advance.”
Zhou Zhi was so happy that he poured the wine on everyone: “He has already made it clear in the scene. People can only say this. ”
"Then how do we know now whether this matter will be implemented..."
"Future policy changes?" Zhou Zhi shook his head: "No need to ask, judging from your relationship, the old secretary wants to help As for Qiaoqiao, it must be for her own good. Then you might as well wait until after the holiday to take Qiaoqiao to see him, report to him about your studies, and listen to his opinions. It will definitely be better than making up your own mind. ”
"That's right!" Dad Lu immediately relaxed and picked up his glass: "You have seen the world, and you are more thoughtful than us country people."
"Come on. Come, let me toast Xiao Zhou. The news brought today is very important to our family."
Zhou Zhi had a drink with Dad Lu: "But I also have something to ask Dad. Back.”
"You are a noble person in our family. If you have anything to say, just say it!" Dad Lu said.
“As for the transaction with Blind Man Li Er, Qiaoqiao guessed the approximate price. If this matter were to be revealed, I am afraid it would shock the village and cause Blind Man Li Er a lot of trouble. I hope everyone will keep it secret for him."
"That's no problem." Dad Lu touched his forehead, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "But now that I think about it, I wonder if I was too disrespectful to others. "?"
"There are too many broken cardboards, broken cardboard boxes and the like in our house. I used to notify him to come and take them out." Mother Lu was also dumbfounded: "These days before and after the rain, too. I often ask him to help pull the three-wheeler, and he is provided with two meals a day, and he does it happily..."
After that, he quickly added: "I am really happy, it doesn't look like an act..."
"Then let everything continue as usual. Next year, I will ask him to help me before tomorrow and after the rain." Zhou Zhile said: "I believe he will be happier."
The taste of Qingshen citrus wine is indeed very good. Especially Lu’s dad mixed it with nectar, it’s quite delicious and delicious. After dinner, everyone went back to the coffee table to drink tea. Zhou Zhi couldn't put it down and looked at the large Yongle blue and white lotus bouquet in his hand: "It's only been a few years, and the price has not been decent."
"Official As for the kiln, the price is too small," Zhang Cheng comforted Zhou Zhi. Said: "What's the price of Qianlong's things on Hong Kong Island now, let alone Yongxuan?"
"When I was a child, my fourth cousin gave me a Xuande Cong style bottle as a gift." Zhou Zhi Talking about the story of his childhood: "At that time, my uncle was the leader Cadres cannot engage in accepting behavior. In the end, they had to give my fourth cousin five kilograms of food stamps!"
"Five kilograms of food stamps..." Although Zhang Cheng has been in this industry for a long time, he doesn't know. I can’t help but be dumbfounded by how cheap Chinese literature and entertainment has become.
"Well, my fourth cousin told me that my brother-in-law settled the accounts. I received three kilograms of food stamps from you. I will charge you another one kilogram of food stamps as a handling fee, making a total of four kilograms. Now I will give you one kilogram back."
< br>"Huh? Hahahaha..." Everyone was happy, it turned out that the five kilograms of food stamps were higher!
"If my elbow had been born at that time, I would have been a super rich man by now, right?" Lu Qiao didn't know that Zhou Zhi was already a rich man, or that he was only as rich as "Cao Jingxiu level", thinking to himself If it had been that time, I wouldn't have been picking up treasures everywhere.
"I don't have the courage of my fourth cousin." Zhou Zhi shook his head repeatedly: "In those days, if you kept these things at home, it might be a crime. In other words, his old man was the founder of our local education system. The person, who is highly respected and a revolutionary soldier himself, found a reason to "dig deep into the material and educate the people" at his own expense, so he was able to retain the job. A lot of things.”
“It’s really like this.” Dad Lu recalled the past: “When Qiaoqiao opened a tea mountain, his grandfather opened a pit, and there were also bosses. The old people looked at the broken porcelain and said it was the entrance of the kiln where dishes and bowls were made..." Zhou Zhi's heart moved: "Is that place still there?"
"Yes, it's right behind the mountain, away from two gullies."
"What's the name of that place?" Zhou Zhi has done a lot of research on local history and knows a lot about it. Place names actually contain the answers to the questions you want to explore.
Sure enough, I heard Dad Lu say: "That place is in Baiguo Township, and the name of the village is Tangu Kiln!"
The place is not far over the mountain. After passing the tea farm, there are two hills behind the mountain. There is a village outside Daochonggou. Surrounding the village are rice fields and fruit trees.
There is a hillside where the plants are not very lush, and the soil quality is somewhat different from the surrounding mountains. "That place is called Baipo'er. The grass is not very long and it is very conspicuous."
When everyone comes to the bottom of the slope, Zhou Zhi took a look at the countless fragments of artifacts buried in the alluvial soil: "Damn it, the scale is a bit scary..."< br>
“It’s not just here.” Dad Lu said: “Come from Songjiawan in the east, walk up the Minjiang River, and then go to Foeryan, Yaoping and many similar places.”< br>
"How many places are there in total?"
"Seven or eight places...a dozen or so."
Zhang Cheng had already bent down and dug out something similar to a pottery plate from the soil: "Elbow, is this a cushion cake?"
Zhou Zhi also bent down and dug out a rough pottery like a brush wash, but it only destroyed it. half: “Yes, There is also a sagger here. This is undoubtedly an ancient kiln entrance."
The two of them squatted down to collect it. When Lu Qiao and Lu's parents saw it, they also followed suit and thought they looked good. Some, larger pieces of pottery were picked out of the soil.
The reason why there are not many plants on this hillside is very simple, because the soil produced in this area was kaolin.
Kaolin, also called Guanyin clay, is an important material for making porcelain. It is white in color, so this place is called "Baipo", which is normal.
The kiln site had been destroyed when local villagers developed orchards, and now the hillside is littered with broken pottery, tiles, and porcelain pieces of various colors and shapes.
These things were not without value in Zhou Zhi's eyes. Soon, Zhou Zhi was able to distinguish kiln furniture such as pegs, saggers, cake mats, washers and other kiln furniture from the fragments collected by everyone.
Some saggers still have supporting pins, and white quartz sand has obviously accumulated on some of the pads and washers.
Based on these alone, you can already know that the craftsmanship of this kiln is quite mature. At least it includes four types of firing: box firing, pin stacking firing, gasket isolation firing and quartz sand interval stacking firing. way of making.
These methods can also show that local porcelain varieties have been divided into many grades and categories.
For example, box-fired porcelain is fired, which is more precious and valuable fine porcelain; pin-stack fired, which is larger and neater among common products, while the remaining two are mainly mass-produced. of ordinary goods. (End of this chapter)
