There is no cloud in the sky, the sun is all over the city, and it is a sunny day.

But in the winter in this small northern city, even if it is a sunny day, the evening is not so warm.Cai Xiaowen was deeply reflecting on why he could not accurately grasp the temperature difference between day and night after dressing and eating in this small town for more than ten years.The padded jacket wrapped around my body was a bit small, and it wrapped me round and round for the midwinter.The dark green padded jacket with a few big red flowers on it is very festive.If it weren't for the gnashing of teeth on Cai Xiaowen's face, she would look like a little daughter-in-law from the countryside who is happy to return to her mother's house.It's a pity that even this smaller floral padded jacket is not hers, she stole the little maid's glutinous rice balls... When Cai Xiaowen was squatting in the yard this morning, the sun shone warmly on his buttocks, and he went into the room again for a while I changed into a thin coat.She never thought that today was a special day, and she would not be able to return home until dusk.Now the sun was about to set, and the wind was blowing up again, but it was terribly cold.Cai Xiaowen wanted to grit his teeth and force himself to be calm.But she gritted her teeth so badly that she couldn't help but tore off Tangyuan's padded jacket and urged her to run home to get the clothes.Wrapped in this small cotton padded jacket, I stomped my feet in the cold wind, and my round cheeks were flushed with cold, like two blushes, or two blushes that I didn't evenly apply when I was in a hurry to go out...

Cai Xiaowen covered his face with his hands, and peeked at Su Yang, who was not far away, through his fingers.People are sitting in wicker chairs drinking tea leisurely.Cai Xiaowen saw her white thick gown with long sleeves and thick white rabbit fur around the neckline. She couldn't help but feel colder. She really wanted to throw herself on the fluffy collar to rub her cold skin. face...

Su Ying put down the teacup, heard a soft gurgling in her stomach, and quickly looked around to divert her gaze.She raised her head and saw the plaque hanging high on the stage again: Yufeng Taojian.Yufeng is the name of the city.Although the small town is called Yufeng, it does not produce a piece of jade, nor does it have a famous peak.But one thing is the best: pottery.Yufeng is a famous pottery city, and there are many famous private pottery kilns in the city, which is unique in the whole country.As long as the mark of Yufeng is stamped on the pottery, it is the guarantee of quality.And in Yufeng City, where masters gather, there are two more excellent pottery.One is the Su family in the north of the city, and the other is the Cai family... also in the north of the city.The two families are separated by two streets, and they are neighbors at all.Coincidentally, the two families lived close to each other. Cai Xiaowen's father, Master Cai, and Su Fang's mother, Mrs. Su, were also seniors from the same school, but they seldom interacted with each other. One can't help but imagine the fierce competition between the two families. .

Su Ying touched the burden placed on the desk beside her, and heard her senior brother Meng Ziyin greeting someone in the audience.

"Master Meng, you are here! I saw that you won several prizes, congratulations."

"What? Didn't I join in the fun of Tao Jian? The key is to see my two junior sisters!" Tao Jian is the annual pottery competition in Yufeng City, and a high platform is set up in front of the earth temple in the city.Not only the potters in the city participated, but also the pottery masters from other places, many came from thousands of miles away to compete.The competition is divided into nine grades according to the grade and price of pottery.Three highly respected pottery masters will evaluate the most exquisite and practical pottery in each product, as the recommended pottery provided by Yufeng to officials and merchants this year.For Master Tao, being able to win the Tao Jian is not only an honor, but also means real money.The loser must smash the pottery he participated in on the spot to show his willingness to bow down.The fame of the Su family and the Cai family was not made by shouting out, but by the bloody comparison in Tao Jian over the years.In recent years, Master Cai and Mrs. Su are getting older, and the two young masters have to take care of the family business and come out to fight.

Su Qing looked at the broken pottery fragments all over the floor, and agreed with Mencius Yin's words: There are not many treasures this year, and it will be up to me and hers in the end... She glanced at Cai Xiaowen calmly, and saw that she was wearing a flower padded jacket Jumping in circles, I couldn't help chuckling.She quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and when she put her hand down, she wiped off the smile on her face and restored a calm expression.

Finally arrived at the final test.There are not many people who are capable of participating in this product.After the first four potters took out the pottery.Cai Xiaowen opened the bag tremblingly, and introduced to the three masters: "Double-colored... ah! Double-colored piggy pot!" The body of the piggy pot is charmingly naive, and the spout is made of pig ears. When the pot pours water, the water flows out from the two nostrils of the pig's nose...

"Hmm... the color is mellow, and the pottery is very, very delicate, smooth and shiny! Although this shape... is too novel. But it is still a good product, and it is the best so far."

After hearing this, the four potters shook their heads, picked up their pottery and smashed it down the high platform.Only Cai Xiaowen's Piggy Pot remained on the stage.So everyone's eyes were on Su Yang, the young head of the Su family.

Su Qing stood up from the rattan chair, and took the unopened bundle.Just when the wind picked up, Su Huang's long hair was blown up by the wind, fluttering along with the sleeves and belt.Some people in the audience were fascinated by it. If what she was holding was not a bundle but a jade flute or something, it would be quite fairy-tale.She did not participate in the competition of the first eight ranks this year, and only brought one piece of pottery, which was specially for the ninth rank.She put the bundle in front of the masters, unknotted the knot, and a black lacquered pottery was revealed. "Antique black pottery goblet!"

The eyes of the masters lit up, and they all bent down to appreciate it carefully, and praised it while watching: "The hole is exquisite, standing on one foot, the bottom of the foot is hollow, and the cup body is still flat and stable despite its height. It almost reproduces the black pottery goblet...and it is even better than the ancient cup. The cup should be black and shiny." They stretched out their hands to touch the pottery cup, suddenly frowned, and said with regret: "It's just that the pottery is still a little rough, not as delicate as Xiaowen's little pig pot."

Hearing what the masters said, Cai Xiaowen, who was drowsy from the cold, was shocked and felt that it was not so cold anymore.She patted her numb cheeks, and her excitement was like the threads of pottery, stacked up one after another: never beat her, could it be...could it be... oh, I can't help but want to laugh... Hold back, must hold back!

Just as Cai Xiaowen covered his mouth with both hands, forcibly suppressing the joy of winning.Su Qing unhurriedly took out a small copper hammer from her belt.She leaned over and tapped the outer layer of the clay cup lightly with a copper hammer.The black pottery pattern actually cracked and became more than a dozen pieces of broken shells.

"Huh?!" Cai Xiaowen couldn't hold back this time, and shouted directly.

Su Glaze peeled off the thin broken pottery shell, like peeling the shell to extract the kernel, and a new black pottery cup emerged again.The color is darker and brighter than before! "Just now is the shell protecting the pottery cup. This is the genuine antique black pottery goblet. Please touch it again, Master."

The masters clicked their tongues in admiration, touched them carefully again, and said decisively: "Delicate! Delicate and full-bodied! It is possible to fire a double layer to enhance the smoothness of the inner layer...exquisite! Treasure! It's not said that this year's Ninth Rank winner is Su Glaze's." Antique black pottery goblet!"

Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Su Ying bowed to thank the masters, then turned to Cai Xiaowen, who was so depressed that she forgot to stamp her feet in circles, clasped her hands and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Xiaowen, I accept it."

Cai Xiaowen pursed his lips, picked up his little pig pot, took a last look at it, gritted his teeth and fell to his feet. "Hey! Why did I give in again! I have been giving in for three years!"

The masters saw Cai Xiaowen's disappointment, and wanted to encourage her a few words: "The quality of Xiaowen's piggy pot is already quite good. But the shape can be more thoughtful. I will compare it next year. Are you confident?" They originally thought If Cai Xiaowen could clenched his fist and shouted "Yes!", he would be able to end the Tao Jian contest with great joy, and go to Wanghulou to attend the feast invited by the gentry.Unexpectedly, Cai Xiaowen pointed at the broken pottery on the ground with sad eyes, and whispered: "I'm sorry for that little pig..."

"Pfft..." Su Ying quickly turned around, and her smile turned into a cough: "Cough cough, cough cough..."

Tao Jian, which lasted for four hours, finally came to an end, and Sun also struggled to throw out the last golden thread.The setting sun shone on Su Yang's body, as if it had coated her with the most appropriate golden glaze.She floated past holding the black glazed cup, attracting the attention of countless teenagers.With a gentle smile, she turned into the side alley.When the last strand of her long hair blown by the wind disappeared from everyone's sight, she immediately grabbed the high foot of the black glaze cup, turned it around hard, clamped it with her elbows, lifted the hem of her robe and ran away.A girl approached her with something in her arms, and she ran closer and closer, closer and closer...

"Wind chime! Wind chime! Why did you just come back... I'm so hungry!"

The girl named Feng Ling, with twin tails and long hair, with a pretty and well-behaved face, ran up to Su Ying, holding on to the wall of the alley and gasping for breath: "I...I... ran a long way to...buy it. Everyone... They all come to see Tao Jian, there is no...no one out!" She stuffed the oiled paper bag in her bosom to Su Qing: "Here... bag... bag..."

"Bun!" Su Ying stuffed the black glaze cup into Feng Ling's arms.He tore open the paper bag, grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth.A steaming little round bun disappeared in a blink of an eye.Su Ying picked up the second bun, took a bite, chewed it twice and swallowed it, and shouted, "Hoo... finally came back to life... I'm so hungry that I want to say that I can't compare! My stomach keeps growling, I'm afraid others will hear..." She picked up the third bun.

Feng Ling had already recovered her breath, and said with a smile: "People won't suspect it's you if they hear it. Who would have thought that the dignified Miss Su is actually a bitch...Hey...Miss, slow down, don't choke! What's the matter? one?"

"Yeah!" Su Ying continued to gobble it up, and still had time to speak, she said with a vague smile, "There is nothing to say about being the first or not. The cola is Cai Xiaowen... Let me tell you, Cai Xiaowen The little flower padded jacket... oh, I just want to laugh... today she..."

"Senior Sister." A hard voice suddenly came from behind Su Ying.Shocked, she threw the bun in her hand into the oiled paper, crumpled it up and stuffed it back into Feng Ling's arms.Then he turned around and smiled at Cai Xiaowen.But... the half-pull bun in his mouth was swallowed abruptly like this, really... choking!

Cai Xiaotattoo followed the little girl Tangyuan who was wearing back her little flower padded jacket.Cai Xiaowen also changed into his winter robe.People depend on clothes, and Cai Xiaowen is also slim in a well-fitting yellow pattern robe.Seeing Su Ying standing there just smiling without replying to herself, even that smile looked a bit weird, so she couldn't help but think a little more: I lost again, does she look down on me... She doesn't even speak. Don't you bother to talk to me... don't you even want to call out as a junior sister...do you want to laugh when you see me... what kind of laugh?A contemptuous laugh or a mocking laugh?Still contemptuous and mocking smile...

Su Yang is so innocent.During the long period of time when Cai Xiaowen was thinking wildly, she was just desperately swallowing the buns...

"Huh..." Finally swallowing the buns, Su Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled sweetly at Cai Xiaowen: "Hello, little mosquito!"

"Who is the little mosquito!" The imaginary was interrupted, Cai Xiaowen returned to reality, and turned his face to Tangyuan angrily: "Tangyuan, let's go!" Tangyuan with a small round face stared at the wind chime and nodded fiercely: "Yes !"

"Go buy mutton, and have mutton soup tonight!"

"Hmm!" She made a face at Fengling, and followed Cai Xiaowen away.

"Mutton soup..." Su Qing stared at Cai Xiaowen's back, and said sadly, "I want to eat."

"Why don't you want to eat?" Feng Ling smiled casually, but unexpectedly provoked anger.

"You said you bought steamed stuffed buns, but not meat. I just found out that they are pickled vegetables!"

The corners of Fengling's mouth twitched uncontrollably: "You only found out that it was pickled vegetables after you ate three of them? I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I rushed back after buying it, and didn't care whether it was vegetables or meat?!"

"It's all your fault for saying that I choked, I really choked just now!" This is the reason.

"I'm ignoring you!" Feng Ling hugged the oil paper tightly after saying that, but was snatched away by Su Ying.

"Hey..." Su Ying took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun with only pickled vegetables and no meat, and sighed, "The mutton soup made by the little mosquito, I want to eat..."

The author has something to say:
