Chapter 753 Big Plate

Then I heard a voice behind me asking: "Master Shaobao, are you telling the truth?"

Su You turned around and said, "Hey, Cao Cao is here. Have you made your kiriyu?"

Ping Zhengzheng took out a log sheath from behind, pulled it open, and revealed an iron tool inside: "The gun head is ready."

It's said to be a spearhead, but it's actually more like the body of a dagger. It's not thick, only two and a half fingers wide, a thin piece with a ridge in the middle, about one foot and five inches long, which shows that the builder is very knowledgeable about steel.

confidence.

The stem at the back actually exceeds the length of the gun body at the front, reaching one foot eight inches.

The body of the gun is made of feather-patterned steel sandwiched between steel. The feather pattern is just a surface decoration, while the steel body inside is made of Longquan bright stone and fine sand, which is refined using Meishan's new method.

It was indeed beautiful. Su You was filled with admiration when he saw it: "Dashi's craftsmanship is almost surpassing that of Shi Lao."

Ping Zhengsheng inserted the gun stem into the wooden handle, inserted the eye nail to strengthen it, ran to the crowing rooster in the yard and pulled out a chicken feather: "Young Master, look at it!"

After saying that, he threw the chicken feathers out, took a step back, held the bottom of the rough wooden handle and waved it, the blade flashed and cut the flying feathers in half!

"Good!" Su You applauded after seeing how good this hand was: "It's a good grind! How much did Big Stone charge you?"

Taira Masamori carefully put away the Kiryu Hijiri: "Three thousand swords."

Damn! It’s worse than when I tricked Chen Jichang!

Then I heard Ping Zhengsheng say happily: "The barrel of the gun is still being processed. It is one foot long. Brother Tazhi said it will take three years to make it. I only charge 5,000 guan."

Su You felt a sudden shock in his heart. This apprentice's blackmail skills were also outstanding. A spear could reach a large courtyard in Bianjing City!

Thinking about the two shipments of dry goods that he worked so hard for the people of Chang State, it was hard to say whether he could earn this amount by transporting them to Bianjing. Su You felt a little like cursing.

Thinking about how hard this apprentice has been working hard in the past six months, forget it.

Taira Masamori was very excited: "When this gun comes out, I will go back to Japan and challenge Shomon!"

This is the rhythm of going to hell. Su You feels that this child's ideals should be encouraged: "Well, I hope you will become the brave Momotaro!"

Taira Masamori frowned: "Who is Momotaro?"

Su You was stunned for a moment: "Well, it's the story of a good boy who eliminates ghosts for the people. I have a picture book at home. If you want to read it, I'll send Bing Guan to you."

While Ping Zhengsheng was stunned for a while, Su You quickly said to a few people: "I just want to go to Fanfang today to see how the goods are being prepared. Let's go together."

When going to Fanfang, you have to show off your authority. It is a matter of public opinion that the Yi people are afraid of authority but not immoral. Therefore, after Su You came to Liangzhe Road, he put on his own show for the first time.

The pomp that Suyou can put on now is still very spectacular, and a guard of honor of fifty people can be dispatched.

This honor guard has a salary, but Su You felt that it was not worth spending money to support such a ostentatious team, so he casually gave the food money to Di Yong to improve the meals of the sergeants. Now that he needed it, he asked Di Yong to temporarily send a team.

come over.

The parade of the Fourth Army was very impressive. Although the sergeants were holding flags and honors, they still walked out of the military parade.

Su You frowned at the guard of honor from the horse, while Ping Zhengsheng followed with an envious look on his face. He felt that he was indeed worthy of being a mighty master of the Song Dynasty.

Su You glanced at him guiltily. If this kid knew about the past achievements of this army, he would probably laugh out loud.

Fanfang is somewhat similar to Bianjing Daxiangguo Temple. It is also a huge commercial district, but the center here is Zhenjiao Phoenix Temple.

The people around here are mainly people who believe in the true religion. Hangzhou people mock them as "elephant trunks and cat eyes" and collectively call them "Hui Hui".

As scholars of the Wisdom Palace, Qrow and Alp's status in Fanfang is like that of Tang Monk.

Ku Luo and Alp were fine with Su You's arrival, but Pu Li, the local Tibetan leader, was flattered. He led the Tibetan people to crawl on both sides of the street, and not only sprinkled Su You with the most polite rose water to make Su You's body fragrant, but also licked Su You's body.

Su oil boots.

This person is theoretically one of the top ten officials in the Song Dynasty. In a place where everyone can call them around, Pu Li's status is completely different from that of Su You.

Fortunately, this young official in purple robes was much kinder than the oily little bureaucrats in green robes. He helped Pu Li up and said, "You don't have to be so polite. I've been in Hangzhou for so long and I haven't had time to spare. It's rare for me to come visit you."

"

Pu Li was so excited that his lips trembled: "Thank you to the true God for sending down the merciful city governor. He first sent us two Wisdom Palace masters and then came to visit us in person."

Su You smiled and said, "Let's go and see your house together."

Pu Li was so happy that he almost fainted: "Please, city governor, I will lead the way."

Tianjingfang on Houshi Street is a residential area for wealthy Tibetan merchants. The style of the houses combines Chinese and Western styles, which amazed Su You.

Arriving at Pu Li's house, everyone sat on the floor on the thick carpet. Su You touched the blanket and said, "This is good. Is this the goods you often bring for trade with China?"

Pu Li said respectfully: "This is a small amount, mainly spices and jewelry."

After saying that, let the lady hold up a gold plate, which is full of cat's eyes, lapis lazuli, red sapphire, citrine and so on.

Pu Li said: "We are grateful to the city governor for agreeing to our participation in this trade. It is just a small gift and not disrespectful."

After Su You looked through them one by one, he put the things back: "No, you have come thousands of miles away, and your hard work is not in vain. If I accept your gifts, I'm afraid I will be laughed at by the two masters. I heard that you barbecued

Is it a unique skill? I’ll just have a barbecue and be treated as a guest.”

Pu Li looked at Qrow and Alp awkwardly, and when they saw them nodding, he asked the maid to step aside respectfully.

Su You smiled at Qrow and Alp and said, "How is it? Living with the tribe, isn't it much more comfortable?"

Quro saluted Su You: "Wise City Governor, with your favor, we have summoned businessmen from various countries along the way to guide the fleet this time."

Alp said: "The Shipping Department has sent the goods to us for review. It is really a surprise. We are extremely grateful to the Lord City Governor for his generosity and generosity."

Su You said: "Oh? I haven't seen it yet. Please bring the sample to me and have a look."

The two are now the religious leaders of Fanfang, commonly known as "Master Huihui" by Hangzhou people. They have a very high status. Su You saw Ku Luo clapped his hands and muttered a few words, and Pu Li obediently asked the maids to bring them again.

Got two boxes.

When the box was opened, it contained brass, gold, silver, porcelain, and glassware.

Su You picked up a porcelain pot, which was a bit like a small hot water kettle with a handle in later generations. It had a seat and a small mouth. It was painted with colorful and complicated flowers in doucai enamel. The bottom ring and spout were also wrapped with silver rings. It was completely

Middle Eastern patterns and styles.

He picked up another large plate, which also had a complicated pattern of guava and peonies intertwining branches, but all in blue, with a diameter of sixty centimeters.

Su You knocked on the plate and listened to the jade-like clear sound: "Is this from Yixing or Longquan? This caliber can compare to the porcelain in Sichuan..."

The larger the porcelain, the more difficult it is to burn. There is no such large plate even in the imperial palace of Bianjing.

Of course, Zhao Xu would not ask for such a big plate. If Su You dared to offer it, he might even be scolded.

Do you think I am a vulgar person who likes to use stupid words?

So this is what people use when they have dinner together to eat hand-picked mutton.

Alp said happily: "This is made by the craftsmen of Yixing. Thank you God for creating such a miracle."

There are several kinds of blue glazes. The best one in Chinese history is Su Ma Li Qing, which was produced in Persia and is referred to as Su glaze.

Su material is easy to fade, and in fact, there are some limitations in drawing patterns. For example, it is easy to express landscapes, but it is not good at expressing characters.

Moreover, it is a low-manganese and high-iron cobalt material. If the iron content is high, it is easy to cause burnout accidents. A slightly higher temperature will cause the hair color to be darker and iron particles to appear.

Meishan now focuses on high-end goods and no longer relies on porcelain to make money. Just like it does not focus on brewing and yeast, it also does not focus on porcelain and glaze color.

After the problem of furnace temperature was solved in the turbulent kiln and asbestos coal kiln, the blue colors in the high-temperature glaze - "Ji Lan" and "Sky Blue" - have emerged.
