Although there is a ready-made folk kiln, it is just a venue.
The temperatures, humidity, etc. for firing porcelain and firing colored glaze are completely different.
Therefore, we just borrowed the venue, and there are some ready-made materials and workers. The rest still requires Dong Nuan to work hard.
Mrs. Cao knew there was no need to rush, so after the initial excitement, she didn't rush anything.
Dong Nuan stayed temporarily in Cao Mansion, naturally to prepare for the burning of colored glaze.
The site and labor are ready, and the next thing to consider is the materials and temperature.
The previous kiln is definitely no longer usable and a new one will need to be built.
It is not that easy to reach the temperature required to burn colored glaze.
Dong Nuan first made a simple list and some precautions.
"These are the materials I came up with after analyzing the glass. After preparation, we can try to get started. And..." After Dongnuan's preparations are completed, the next step is to communicate with people.
This person can't be anyone else, it can only be Master Cao.
After all, Liuli was in serious trouble, and he didn't feel comfortable leaving it to someone else.
Dong Nuan stayed in Fucheng for six days before returning to the county seat.
Mr. Cao went to prepare some materials, and Dong Nuan could go back to Zhuangzi to work for a while.
Zhuangzi has Shi Qing watching over him, so he feels more at ease with the warmth in winter, and autumn fruits from the orchard are also supplied to the store in a timely manner.
Occasionally, there are orders from Fucheng. They are all from powerful families who think the fruit is delicious and come directly to their doors.
Over at the flower field, Dianthus was watching. She was slowly learning the skills of perfume making, and also knew how to preserve and dry flowers.
Therefore, if you stay away for a longer time, the flowers in the flower field will not be wasted.
After returning from the warm winter, I plunged into the operation room and started busy with the work of making and mixing incense.
As for the production of preserved fruits, Gou Qingyun helped find a workshop with good craftsmanship and a separate recipe provided by Dong Nuan. Dong Nuan has tasted it twice, and the progress is good and the craftsmanship is in place.
In this way, you can rest assured.
Because the store was undergoing transformation, after Dong Nuan came back, I looked for Gou Qingyun.
Knowing that Dong Nuan had the opportunity to recognize Magistrate Cao as her adoptive father, Gou Qingyun could only praise: Sure enough, he is not something that comes from the pond. Fortunately, she has a unique eye and has made friends with Dong Nuan early on.
Gou Qingyun is a person who is easily satisfied. Now that her father has lard soap to pave the way, his political performance is obviously getting better and better. It is expected that in less than two years, even if his family cannot return to the capital, his father will still be promoted.
Gou Qingyun was envious of Dong Nuan's opportunity, but not jealous, and she was also happy for Dong Nuan.
"Nuan Nuan!" When she saw Dong Nuan coming to find her, Gou Qingyun happily brought her into the house.
There was a banquet held in the Cao Mansion before, and Gou Qingyun also went there.
However, there were too many people at that time, and Dong Nuan didn't have time to say a few words to her.
Now that the little girls are together, they have a lot to say.
"Nuan Nuan, lard soap has been sold to Fucheng. The prefect said that Fucheng has started to prepare for the workshop. When the time comes, lard soap can also be made in Fucheng and can be sold later.
To Jizhou and several nearby states." After Gou Qingyun saw the warm winter, the first thing she shared was naturally the good news from her side.
Although the prefect is helping to pave the way, part of the lard soap revenue will definitely flow into the official revenue of the prefecture.
However, the bulk is still here in Xiangshui County!
Early profits are gradually arriving, and their initial cost investment has long been recovered.
Recently, Xiangshui County has been making statistics on the cattle farming situation in the villages and towns under the county seat. My father said that after the statistics are completed, cattle will be purchased for each village and town next year.
Only by supporting agriculture can we stabilize the people's hearts, so County Magistrate Gou started from here.
Of course, after the autumn harvest and the farming slack, they might also consider repairing roads in some villages and towns with poor road sections.
Local profits must still benefit the people.
It is certainly impossible for their family to leave no money at all, but the bulk of it still has to be counted as local income.
After all, the original workshop was founded in the name of the official government and borrowed a lot of profits from it.
Now that we have gained something, we naturally have to repay the past.
Dong Nuan already knew about this from Cao Xinyao, but it didn't stop her from being happy, so she smiled and nodded Gou Qingyun's hand: "That's good, congratulations, little rich woman."
The lard soap business is booming, bringing with it the interests of the Dong family.
The clan leader is not a stingy person. Most of the profits he received will definitely be used for the construction of the village.
Dong Zhi goes home every month and brings news from the village from time to time.
For example, because lard soap is very profitable, the clan leader decided to kill five pigs at the end of the year in the name of the clan and give everyone a share so that everyone can have a good year.
For another example, the clan leader was planning to buy cattle, but he heard that the county magistrate was also preparing for it, so he gave up for the time being. However, through the county magistrate's help, he bought a batch of cotton and planned to distribute it to the Dong clan.
.
As for how to divide it?
Dong Nuan doesn't care, the clan leader will just make arrangements.
It’s definitely impossible to miss out on one thing and miss out on that one. It’s probably better to split it as evenly as possible.
The clan leader has other arrangements, all in all they are very good things for the clan.
When Dong Zhi said this, there was a smile on his face, which showed that he was also happy from the bottom of his heart.
Dong Nuan teased, Gou Qingyun was still a little embarrassed, pursed her lips, and then whispered: "Thank you, Nuan Nuan."
The recipe for lard soap was provided by Dong Nuan. Although it was provided to the clan, she was still the one who helped pull the strings.
No matter from which aspect, Gou Qingyun is actually very grateful.
At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh that she really had a unique eye. The first time she saw the wood carvings, she thought this craftsman was trustworthy.
Then, she came.
Then, she was accomplished.
Thinking about it made her very happy, and Gou Qingyun rubbed her hands in embarrassment.
After the two people shared the good news, Dong Nuan got straight to the point and talked about the store's transformation.
The house itself belongs to Gou Qingyun, and she will be given 20% of the profit for the winter warmth. She must be informed about the transformation.
"As long as Nuannuan thinks it's good, it's fine with me." Gou Qingyun actually doesn't care. She thinks she can fly by following Dongnuan, don't point fingers, just obey her orders.
Therefore, what Dong Nuan says is what it says.
After thinking about it, I felt that my attitude sounded perfunctory, so I quickly added: "If you need help with anything, just ask, I will definitely take care of it!"
"There is really one thing." Dong Nuan thought about it and felt that there was really one thing that Gou Qingyun could do.
As soon as she heard that she could help, Gou Qingyun's eyes lit up, she leaned forward and said, "What, what, tell me."
