Chapter 2082: Destroying the Kiln

Uncle He reminded him: "You'd better serve some snacks, things this time are different from before."

They used to make trouble in private, but this time they went behind Jiang Wankang's back and used Jiang Wankang's name to come to Fucheng to slap Xu You in the face in public. Everyone knew about it, and the Xu family was completely embarrassed.

Meng Hong didn't care at all and said: "Everything must be reasonable. We are doing business seriously and we don't use any underhanded tactics. Even to the end of the world, we are reasonable... Let's not talk about this. Let's enjoy the feast. This mutton But it’s really good, I could only eat two pieces when I was in the Daokou Gou Camp. In this government office, if I can eat with all my heart, Mr. Qi is rich.”

Then he said to Qi Yi: "Master Qi, it's hard to eat with meat but no wine. Please bring out some wine and let's have two drinks. Don't be so picky."

Qi Yi: "It's not that I'm searching, it's that I really don't have any alcohol. And since you're going to ride a fast horse back later, it's better not to drink, lest you lose control of your horse and fall into a ditch."

Meng Hong was unwilling to give up, bragging about his horsemanship, and then said: "How come there is no wine? Where are the two large bowls of wine that were used to worship the God of Agriculture on February 2? Did you drink them?"

Qi Yi: "The two bowls of wine have been repackaged and sealed for next time."

Meng Hong was shocked: "Really, can you still use it back and forth like this?"

Qi Yi glanced at him and nodded: "Of course you can. Farmers in the northwest often use a pot of wine for three to five years."

Wine is expensive, and farmers have no money to buy it. Therefore, farmers in the northwest came up with the idea of ​​pouring only one cup of wine into three cups to honor the ancestors of heaven and earth, leaving two cups to put back into the jug and seal it for later use.

It was precisely because of this practice that on the day he worshiped the God of Agriculture, he only spilled a bowl of wine, and no one scolded him. If he had been in the capital, he would have been scolded by the censor or the Ministry of Rites.

"This is indeed the practice in the northwest." Uncle He put a piece of mutton chop on Meng Hong's plate and said, "Meng Baihu is fighting here. You can learn more about the customs here, which will be helpful for marching and fighting. . In addition to relying on soldiers, this resistance also relies on the help of the common people."

"Uncle He's words make sense. Uncle Jiang is raising a group of old farmers who are familiar with the terrain in the Duchonggou camp." Meng Hong stopped drinking and just kept eating meat. Anyway, this meat belongs to Qi Yi, no matter If you eat more, you will lose. After eating the beauty, he praised Qi Yi: "Master Qi is different from what others say. You are a good person and a good official."

Qi Yi smiled: "What do you mean by this? Are there rumors outside that I am a corrupt official and a bully?"

Meng Hong laughed and didn't answer. Qi Yi didn't ask any more questions and just continued to eat with Meng Hong.

After eating, he and Uncle He saw Meng Hong off.

Uncle He looked at Meng Hong and said, "Meng Baihu, it's up to you when you go back this time. You have to keep the secret recipe that turns into porcelain when exposed to heat!"

Meng Hong pointed to his head and said: "Don't worry, I will use this head as a guarantee. If anyone dares to attack the master who has the secret recipe of Xiangporce in Yure, I will fight him to the death!"

Then he said: "Uncle He, Mr. Qi, I will leave the business here to you."

Uncle He nodded: "Don't worry, the Zhong family still has some respect here. This old slave has lived his whole life. He has seen all kinds of tricks and will not fall into the trap easily."

In fact, as soon as it was announced that the Golden Dragon porcelain basin was to be presented to Emperor Jingyuan, no one dared to think of it as a porcelain dish when exposed to heat.

"Okay, I'm leaving!" Meng Hong said, but his voice was covered by the surprises of others.

"Master Qi and Steward Zhong, I have finally met you. Our Wei family wants to buy Yurexiang porcelain, and you must sell it to us!" A middle-aged man in brocade clothes ran towards this direction with a few servants. Come, he shouted in an excited and high-pitched voice.

Meng Hong smiled, hahaha, the money came to the door again, great!

"Let's go!" He called to the two soldiers and rode away.

The two soldiers who went back with him were also very happy. They looked back at the people who came to buy porcelain and then left on horseback... Half of the money earned by the porcelain kiln was used by the soldiers. When the heat is high, the business of porcelain will be better , their lives will be better, and even if they become disabled in the future, they don’t have to worry about having nowhere to go for the rest of their lives.

"Hundred households, if the porcelain kiln's business gets better and better, can I bring my wife and children over? I heard that Qingniu Mountain, like Changliang Wei, teaches children how to read and keep accounts. I want my egg baby to do the same. Two words, even if you can't make a career out of learning, it's still a good idea to go to Qingniu Mountain to learn some crafts." General Yang rode up to Meng Hong and asked him.

Meng Hong said: "It's not your egg baby who should learn to read, but you as the father. I really can't figure it out, why did you name your son like this? Yang Dan baby, Yang Dan baby, you worship the family every year Didn’t your butt hurt when you were an ancestor?”

Your ancestors are so angry that they will kick you several times!

General Yang said: "What's wrong with Danwa? We all have names like this. My son is called Danwa which is already a good name. There are others who call him Goudan, Gouwa and Zhubaodan."

He also asked about picking up his wife and children.

Meng Hong replied: "You are so impatient. We will wait until the sick and wounded soldiers are settled and the soldiers are driven to the Longshan Mountains. Anyway, work hard and I won't lose money to you."

"Hey!" After hearing this, the two soldiers were very happy.

It was half past midnight, when the vendors were closing their stalls, but they were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they gathered in small groups, talking about how they looked like porcelain when exposed to the heat.

"The golden dragon porcelain basin is really amazing. When the wine worshiped by the God of Agriculture was poured into the porcelain basin, oh oh yo, a golden dragon immediately flew out of the porcelain basin and soared into the sky. The faucet turned around and its eyes were as big as the water tank. He even looked at the ground, scaring the worshipers so much that they immediately knelt down, kowtowed to the golden dragon, and called Grandpa Dragon King..."

Before the man finished speaking, a government official crowded over and shouted at him: "Grandpa Dragon King, your mother, Luo Liuhe, is bragging here again. Mr. Qi issued two strict orders in three days not to spread this nonsense." Those who spread rumors about strange powers and chaos will be arrested and imprisoned. Do you want to be in prison and become brothers with rats?"

After Luo Liuhe heard this, he quickly begged for mercy: "Master Lin Cha, please calm down. I was just short-tempered and didn't dare anymore..."

The voice gradually faded away, but Meng Hong was very happy to hear it. The thief liked the excitement in Fucheng: "When I get rich, I will also buy a house in Fucheng. Then I will invite you to stay at home for a few days, so that you can live in the wealth of Fucheng." Human addiction!”

But just when he was happy, he heard another group of people gossiping about the Meng family: "Then the Meng family has really lost all its centuries-old face in the past few days... The porcelain produced is not good, and the Qingniushan Porcelain Kiln has Not only was Fang severely slapped in the face, but the second master and his son also slept with a maid, and the girl from the second bedroom even stole the marriage of the girl from the first bedroom. The whole family is extremely talented and specializes in slapping the ancestors’ face.”

"Baihu, I'm from the same clan as you."

"Bah, I don't have people of this race, I just have the same surname. If you dare to talk nonsense about any tribe, I'll cheat on you!" Meng Hong said with a black face, speeding up his horse to pass through the Bagua Street.

After the three generals and soldiers got out of the street, they speeded up and ran towards the city gate. They left the city before You hour and started galloping. When it got dark, they lit pine oil torches and continued on their way. After several days of hurrying, they finally arrived. Arrive at Qingniu Mountain Villa.

Fortunately, we came to Qingniu Mountain Villa first, otherwise it would have been a big deal.

When Jiang Wankang learned that Meng Hong and Uncle He had slapped Xu You's porcelain kiln in Fucheng, he was completely furious. He actually brought people to smash the porcelain kiln in Qingniu Mountain. However, Qin Sanlang and Zhong Yu stopped him, and Meng Hong rushed back. At that time, they were in a stalemate.
