Chapter 40 Something Wrong

On the second day, it will be the tenth day of the first lunar month.There are still three days before the ten-day deadline for Cai Xiaowen to make pottery.Although Su Ying got Cai Xiaowen's confident guarantee, she was still worried and went to Cai's house early in the morning.

When Su Ying knocked on the door, Cai Xiaowen was in the courtyard, with fluffy hair and red eyes.In order to supervise the whole process of firing pottery, she has not slept for a day and two nights.Su Qing's visit revived her tired spirit.

"Senior Sister..." As soon as he called Senior Sister, Cai Xiaowen's voice became hoarse, and he felt sleepy.

Su Ying is very familiar with this kind of exhaustion.When she was rushing to make official pottery, she often stayed up late, which was considered a routine.But this time it was Cai Xiaowen who was exhausted, and she felt distressed: "Stay up late. You have worked hard..."

"It's not hard..." Cai Xiaowen smiled weakly, and suddenly regained his energy: "I've already made all the pottery to hand in! I'll show you!" She carried one of the eight wooden boxes on the ground , opened the side cover, and took out a pair of earless wine glasses.It is still the familiar piggy shape.The pig nose and pig tail are the two ends of the wine jue.The whole shape is fat and cute, and Su Ying couldn't help liking it when she saw it.

So cute... Su Ying almost blurted out these three words.But as a professional senior sister, she didn't allow her first sentence to be such a layman's admiration.

"Hmm... the shape is simple and thick... the lines are natural, it's really natural..." Su Ying tried her best to express the meaning of "so cute". "Tao Zhi... um? Why... ah?" Su Ying began to look at Little Pig Jiujue repeatedly, and the joyful expression on her face gradually subsided and gradually became heavy.

Seeing that Su Ying's complexion was getting worse and worse, Cai Xiaowen felt nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Su Ying no longer tossed and turned, but grabbed the little pig Jiujue, and asked solemnly: "Is this the best mud?"

"Yes! The best mud in my shop!"

"How many times did you sift the mud?"

"Six times!"

"How many times have I reminded you to sift the mud?"

"Ah?!" Cai Xiaowen was stunned.She didn't remember the last thing Su Yao said to her that day.Now being pressed like this, she suddenly captured the memory that she had missed: sifting mud...nine times.

"Boom!" After a crisp sound, Little Pig Jiujue had already shattered to the ground beside Su Huang's feet.

"Senior Sister! What are you doing?!" Cai Xiaowen rushed over and grabbed the broken pottery, his hands trembling with distress.She raised her head and cast her unbelievable eyes on Su Huang.

Without saying a word, Su Ying walked towards the remaining seven wooden boxes.She picked one at random, opened the side cover and took out the pottery inside.This time it was a pottery bowl, the sides of the bowl were made into water patterns, and a little fat rabbit was painted on the bowl which ran too fast and tripped over stones.Su Ying turned the bowl with one hand, touched it carefully, then pointed to one place, and frowned at Cai Xiaowen.

Cai Xiaowen got up from the ground, staggered to Su Ying's side, grabbed the bowl and put it in front of him.Exhausted and excited, Cai Xiaowen's vision was blurred.She rubbed her eyes vigorously, rubbing and rubbing again, until her eye sockets became red, and she finally saw the two small black spots on the edge of the bowl.

"Impurities. The Jiujue just now also has them." Su Ying sighed: "Hey...you didn't sift the mud nine times. These are not qualified."

"Just because of these two black dots?!" Wan Yi crookedly covered Cai Xiaowen's hand, shaking from side to side in excitement. "It's normal to have impurities! There are black spots, as long as they don't affect the quality of the pottery, isn't it normal? I usually have black spots when I make pottery, and my father never said no! I usually just sift the mud five times, I've sifted one more time!"

Su Ying shook her head, said calmly and resolutely: "Let me prove to you why you are not qualified. Tangyuan! Tangyuan!"

Tang Yuan ran out of the house upon hearing the sound, and stood beside the two in a daze, waiting for orders.

Su Ying said: "Go to boil the pot of water, and when the water boils, pour the water into this bowl."

Tangyuan took the bowl and went to the kitchen.After a while, she came over with a bowl in her hand.Su Ying took the bowl and sent the glutinous rice balls away, then poured the water away with her backhand, and handed the bowl to Cai Xiaowen.Cai Xiaowen grabbed the bowl with both hands and found the black spot.After she saw clearly what had changed, the confusion on her face suddenly turned into panic: "Ah! Why did this happen!"

The black spots have become larger, and it is not to the extent that it does not affect the pottery.At a glance, two black dots can be clearly seen.

"This gold clay is too expensive, you rarely use this kind of clay for practice." Golden clay is the best clay with excellent clay quality, which is as precious as gold in the eyes of potters.So it is also called gold mud. "This kind of pottery clay must be sieved nine times to ensure that all granulated impurities are removed. Otherwise, after the pottery is formed, the black spots formed by the impurities will become larger when exposed to boiling water. These are to be presented directly to the princess, Biguan Pottery It's also important. There must be no such obvious flaws." It was because the pottery was presented to the princess that Cai Xiaowen deliberately chose gold clay to make pottery, which was counterproductive.

"But...but..." Cai Xiaowen fell to the ground, and murmured in despair, "If it's redone, there's not enough mud and there's not enough time... Otherwise, I'll ask the official to delay for a few days."

"No." Su Ying categorically denied it, and sat down next to Cai Xiao's tattoo and said, "He has no right to delay. The first time the princess gives you an order, you delay. This is disrespectful to the princess, absolutely not."

"Then... just bite the bullet and hand it over."

"No! Such a major mistake is also disrespectful to the princess! If she compares the pottery of Guantao Pavilion with these, she will definitely withdraw your official pottery master."

"Then what should I do... I can't change it..." Cai Xiaowen deeply regretted that he didn't listen to Su Ying's words, and was so desperate that he wanted to cry.

Just like the calf's horn was injured last time, Su Ying knew that she was going to be a "Nurse" again.She stood up, patted the ashes on her buttocks, lowered her head and said to Cai Xiaowen: "Golden mud, I still have it in my shop. I'll sift and wash the mud, you just hurry up and shape it."

"Help me..." Cai Xiaowen hurriedly stood up, shaking his head until he was dizzy: "No way! I know that official pottery can only be done by yourself. If you do it for me, if you are found out, your official pottery qualification It will also be taken away!"

"If you don't tell me, who will know?"

"I can't do it, senior sister! I will take responsibility for the mistakes I made, and I can't drag you down! The worst thing is that I don't want to be an official pottery, just treat me as a failure of the princess!"

What Cai Xiaowen said was exactly what he thought in his heart.She absolutely didn't want to hurt Su Qing.But at this time, apart from fanning the flames of Su Yang's suppressed anger, it has no other effect.

"Stop talking nonsense, just do it like this!" Su Ying took Cai Xiaowen's arms and grabbed them fiercely as if to relieve her anger: "Who told you not to listen to me! I reminded you specially. You didn't listen! You are ashamed to say that you have let down the princess. Do you know who you have let down... Huh... Now, you sort out the remaining gold mud and prepare the tools for sifting mud and pottery mud. I will spread the mud and fetch the mud! Little Mosquito Cai , I will settle accounts with you after the matter is over!"

The author has something to say:

Compared with the senior sister, the little mosquito is still weak
