The temperature of dry firewood and charcoal when burning is about 500 to 600 degrees, while the combustion temperature of ordinary raw coal reaches more than 1,500 degrees. High-quality coal can even reach 2,000 degrees when burned fully.

Well, this is a knowledge point.

As we all know, the higher the temperature, the more impurities in the clay can be separated, the tighter the embryo of the ceramic, the better the quality of the burned out.

This is why Gu Qing is so confident in opening a pottery kiln. In this world where no one discovers the beauty of coal, the pottery made by Gu Qing is definitely the only one of the Tang Dynasty in terms of quality.

It is not complicated to make pottery. Put the mold made of clay into a pottery kiln and ignite it in a fire, which is theoretically similar to steaming buns.

Gu Qing is an outsider. Although he proposed the idea and the matter was initiated, he completely followed Uncle Han's opinion in the final pottery making step and never did stupid things like laymen leading experts.

The professional experience accumulated by others in half their lives is much better than him. A common problem with people is that they always feel that they are better than others. From state politics to professional fields, it is very clear to say that if they really let such people do it, the result will be a mess.

Gu Qing and Uncle Han dug a lot of coal out. After getting angry, Gu Qing and Uncle Han squatted side by side outside the pottery kiln. Seeing a burst of green smoke rising, Gu Qing was getting more and more excited.

The day of having no worries about food and clothing should not be far away? A beautiful life that can eat big fish and meat every day is waving to him from afar.

Burning pottery is a slow job. It is not something that can be cooked immediately after being sent into the kiln. It requires patient waiting and it takes about three days to leave the kiln.

Gu Qing waited for a while and felt impatient. He called Uncle Han to go down the mountain together. Uncle Han shook his head and refused.

"After opening the kiln, the kiln workers cannot leave. This is the rule. Always keep an eye on the kiln and beware of accidents. If you are not careful, all the pottery in a whole kiln will be ruined. Since you have eaten the boss's bowl of rice, the old man cannot be ashamed of the boss." Uncle Han said firmly.

Gu Qing immediately felt admiration.

This is probably the legendary craftsman spirit, down-to-earth and meticulous. Even though he has not innovated, he has been observing the rules of the industry all his life and dare not cross it.

Gu Qing found that his mentality towards ancient people had some subtle changes.

When he first came to this world, Gu Qing was in a complicated mood and was cold to the strangers around him. He always felt that they meant ignorance and backwardness. Although he could not be considered contempt, he had to admit that he had a sense of superiority in his heart.

Until today, Gu Qing finally gradually put away his sense of superiority and was in a relocation. If he was an ordinary old kiln worker like Uncle Han, could he be as regular and responsible as he did? Such stupid work does not test his intelligence, does not test his flexibility, but only seeks the word "patience".

Gu Qing asked himself, he couldn't do it. He guarded the kiln alone, endured the long loneliness, and repeated the monotonous and boring work. Day after day, Gu Qing might go crazy.

If you cannot do things you do and others do, you should naturally respect them.

"It's hard for Uncle Han to do this." Gu Qing smiled and said, "I will ask Gensheng to deliver you food every day, three meals a day, and there are many of you."

Uncle Han was flattered and said uneasy: "Two meals are enough, two meals are enough. The boss is such a good person."

"Three times, don't argue. Please take a look at the kiln affairs. You are an old kiln worker, and you are more experienced than me. You are a senior in the matter of burning kilns. Don't treat me as your boss in the future, just like a junior. Do it well. If I have a day of development, I will not treat you badly."

Uncle Han was very moved: "Don't worry, if you can't burn a kiln of good pottery, I, Xu Han, jumped into the kiln to worship the gods."

Gu Qing smiled. He knew that the extra meal and his humble attitude increased Uncle Han's loyalty.

It's worth it.

…………

Since traveling through time, Gu Qing has found that he may be sick.

The word "possible" may not be used very accurately.

When he was with Song Gensheng and the villagers during the day, Gu Qing was gentle. Although he was not as enthusiastic as a fire, he was at least as beautiful as spring breeze. Regarding his reputation, he has been soaring like the green smoke coming out of the ancestral grave in Shiqiao Village recently, and has been widely praised and welcomed by all the young and old villages. If he is more superficial, he is the most beautiful boy in the village, and his part-time father, regardless of appearance to heart.

However, at night, Gu Qing returned to his Gu family mansion and his personality changed suddenly. He became cruel and fierce and crazy.

The Ding brothers locked in the woodshed felt the most profound about his changes, because Gu Qing's changes came for them.

Since the Ding brothers fell into Gu Qing's hands, their miserable life has become like an evil spirit possessed.

They were locked in the woodshed every day and tied up tightly. The first thing Gu Qing did when he returned home at night was to beat them. Four wooden sticks as thick as his arms had been broken. Gu Qing started to show no mercy, like a murderer. The Ding brothers went from being tough and unyielding at the beginning to being scolded later, then cried, and finally begged for mercy. The changes in the whole process were very layered.

In the past two days, the Ding brothers have changed again. They didn't even say anything begging for mercy, their eyes became numb and dull, and there was no ripples in their eyes when they saw Gu Qing. Only when they saw Gu Qing, their eyes suddenly became fearful and panic, just like seeing evil ghosts on the night road.

Gu Qing actually didn't want to waste his time on these two rats. However, he has been in contact with villagers recently. He heard that the Ding brothers have done more and more evil things in the years. The more he listened, the more angry he became. So when he saw the Ding brothers, he couldn't help but want to beat them up. This impulse was purely from the heart.

He bullies men and women, encroaches on fertile land, trafficking in humans, bullies villagers, and causes injuries and disabilities, etc., and almost everything is done. Therefore, Gu Qing always wants to take action when he sees these two guys when he sees them home every day.

After returning home tonight, he beat the Ding brothers as usual. After the beating, Gu Qing collapsed on the ground and gasped for exhaustion. The Ding brothers hugged on the straw pile of woodshed with their hands, trembling all over, and the fear in their eyes became stronger and stronger.

They are not far from being completely collapsed.

"Gu Qing, kill us and give us some fun. Please, okay?" Ding Dalang said weakly.

"If it was not illegal to kill someone, you should have been reincarnated long ago." Gu Qing said with a blank expression.

"The days will end up? Gu Qing, my brothers admit that they are afraid of you. Please let us leave Shiqiao Village. From now on, for the rest of our lives, my brothers will never step into Shiqiao Village. I am willing to swear in the name of my ancestors' heroic spirit."

Gu Qing smiled, two rows of white teeth were exposed under the dim oil lamp, reflecting a thick white light.

"I won't kill you, and I will let you go."

Ding Dalang seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness. He endured the pain and tried hard to stand up and said, "You... are really willing to let us go?"

Gu Qing's smile was unpredictable: "I'm willing."

A surprise flashed in Ding Dalang's eyes: "As long as we can leave Shiqiao Village, we are willing to do anything, even if we are slaves and servants."

Gu Qing's eyes flashed and his smile became brighter: "I can feel your sincerity. Well, I won't beat you from tomorrow. Not only will I not beat you, I will also try my best to heal your injuries."
