Xu Laowu learned something about every discipline, especially gold, silver, copper and ironware. He had a solid foundation and was highly praised by his master.

Xu Jiaojiao handed the document to Xu Zhang, "Mom, it's true, my fifth brother has graduated. The masters above also said that if the fifth brother can't find a good career in the country, he can go back to the imperial court.

If you work as a craftsman in a workshop, you will get a lot of money."

Mrs. Xu Zhang didn't understand. She glanced at it and said with a smile, "That's alright. I'm relieved that he didn't sneak back."

Xu Laowu said, "I want to come back to help my sister make drinking utensils and help the family. I feel at ease."

In fact, the master in the imperial workshop repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, and he was determined to return home.

His family is his roots. His relatives and loved ones are all in the countryside. He has no sense of belonging at all when he stays alone in the provincial capital.

In the evening, the whole family had dinner together to welcome Xu Laowu.

Eat delicious food and Xu Laowu brought gifts to everyone in his family.

This time is no better than last time. Last time, I didn’t have any money with me, so I brought the cheapest things. This time, I also brought a pair of silver earrings for Xu Zhang, a silver hairpin for Xu Jiaojiao, and a silver hairpin for Xu Jiaojiao.

The sisters-in-law brought suitable fabrics and several pastries and snacks for the boys at home. These things could not be taken down without a few taels of silver.

Mrs. Xu Zhang looked directly at Xu Laowu.

Lao Wu explained, "In our imperial workshop, the apprentices also receive wages. I always refuse to give up, but the masters all say that the wages are paid by the workshop, not from their own pockets. I say that I should pay tribute to the masters."

, the masters didn’t want anything generous. After half a year, there were more than ten taels. If the masters insisted on me, I could only take them. The gifts I bought for my parents and family were all so shabby.

This time I have money, so I can buy better."

After saying this, the young man blushed with embarrassment, and then took out a money bag from his waist.

"Mom, there are still six or seven taels left here. I will give them to the father-in-law. Our family is building a new house. Every household has raised money. Leave it here with me. I also want to raise some. It's my idea. If I

No, I’ll forget it, if I have it, I must not lose my part.”

Mrs. Xu Zhang put it away without politeness.

"Then it's your share."

What kind of private money should an unmarried young man keep? Wouldn't it be nice to leave the spare money in the hands of an old woman like her?

Save it for the future for them to get married. Money is spent wisely and cannot be wasted.

My father-in-law's money is getting richer and richer day by day. The pig seller has more than thirty taels of silver. These six or seven taels make a total of almost forty taels.

It will cost ten taels to marry Erlang.

The old man is worth ten liang...

There is still some left.

Finally, Xu Youde asked Lao Wu about his future plans.

Xu Laowu looked at Xu Jiaojiao eagerly, "I obey my old sister's arrangements. I will do whatever my old sister arranges for me."

Xu Jiaojiao asked him to go out to study. Now that he has returned from his studies, he listens to Xu Jiaojiao's arrangements.

Xu Jiaojiao pondered for a moment, "Our winery has been in business for almost a year, and the wine is almost fragrant. We have to consider the issue of sales. What we urgently need now is the packaging of high-end wines. Although in the provincial capital, Yuzao

The workshop has customized some, but these are definitely not enough. Now that the fifth brother has completed his studies, he will open a small kiln in the village. The fifth brother will be in charge. Whatever drinking utensils are needed in the winery, the fifth brother will make them.

What kind of drinking utensils should I make? What do you think?"

Xu Laowu was full of confidence, "Okay! Leave it to me, little sister, don't worry."

Xu Youde and the others thought about it carefully and asked, "Jiaojiao, how much does it cost to build a kiln?"

Xu Jiaojiao asked Xu Laowu, but she didn't know very well either. Every other line was like a mountain.

Xu Laowu said, "Generally, simple ones don't cost much, and even high-end ones don't cost much money. Our winery only needs specific small wine utensils. We don't need to build a big kiln or hire labor. We

Come and build, I will build, the masters have taught me, I can do it with just a handful of strength."

Digging a kiln and building a workshop mainly relies on labor, and the material cost is not much, unlike building a house.

"Okay, let's leave it to Fifth Brother. We will all help Fifth Brother."

Mrs. Xu Zhang also said, "Yes, there are many people in the family. If you tell us how to build it, we will help you build it..."

As long as you don't spend too much money.

It has been almost a year now, and although the old girl said that the wine will soon become more popular, she is still worried about whether this business is good or bad.

It's worth saving if you can.

There is no cost to invest in loquat paste, and seasonal items can earn you a hundred taels.

If the winery invests so much money and labor and doesn't make money, it will really make you vomit blood.

Mrs. Xu Zhang is now getting closer to the day when the wine will be fragrant, the more worried she becomes and unable to sleep.

On the other hand, Xu Jiaojiao looks calm every day, doing whatever she has to do, and she is still in the mood to study mosquito repellent juice at home.

Xu Zhang could never learn this kind of character and calmness.

In the past, the old girl's personality was the same as hers, she was impatient and fiery in everything, but now she is becoming more and more calm, peaceful and calm.

Not only is she calm and peaceful, but when you stay with her, you can feel peace and tranquility from her, and you can feel relaxed.

It's so magical.

Xu Zhang didn't know what kind of power this was!

This is the strength of the backbone of the family. As long as she is around, you will feel at ease and at ease. She is the backbone of the family, and the family will not fall or fall apart.

…

In this era, wine sets were mainly made of ceramics, and a kiln was needed to burn ceramics, which took up a lot of space. Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Laowu discussed it and decided to dig a cave dwelling in Laoyeshan.

The two found a mountain ridge not far from Lao Xu's home to facilitate future transportation.

After deciding on the location, they sent someone to report to Li Zheng, and at the same time sent someone to the city to purchase a special clay brick as the wall of the cave dwelling. Because according to Xu Laowu's introduction, the temperature for ceramic firing needs to be at least

Reaching 1200 degrees, ordinary bricks cannot withstand such high temperatures.

Then, the old Xu family hired several strong laborers to take turns digging the cave dwellings. When the bricks arrived, they could then build the walls, saving time.

The whole project is actually not complicated, but it is mainly labor-intensive. Xu Laoer and Xu Laosan seem to have recovered, but it is best not to do heavy physical work. In addition, the Xu family still has many gourds that need to be cleaned up.

We don't have enough manpower, so we have to hire people.

With more people and greater strength, after three days, the kiln was basically built, leaving only some finishing work and smoothing the road, because things like ceramics cannot withstand big bumps.
