Yuan Shan got the guarantee of the Zheng family and the eldest grandson family, a total of 1,000 taels of gold.
The first supply of 5,000 candles for each family was immediately put into each store for sale, and the price was the same as 500 Wen each, but the Zheng family sold 498 Wen each, don't underestimate these two Wen, in Chang'an City, it grabbed a lot of customers at once.
This kind of price reduction behavior is actually with some small malice, but compared to the dignitaries and dignitaries, they will not be worse than these two cents, in the aristocratic circle Changsun family candles sell better, it is said that the eldest grandson family mainly uses candles as gifts to give, so that Yuan Shan feels that this family is really more shrewd than a shrewd.
But it doesn't matter, these are conducive to the promotion of candles, the agency is signed once a year, and Yuanshan is not worried about problems in candle sales.
A monopoly industry, as long as it produces, it makes money, and for now this is enough.
With this deposit, Yuan Shan can do more, from the candle signing agent, he took the people in the manor to devote himself to the production of clay pottery.
Before the autumn harvest began, he had Blacksmith Lu build a blank drawing machine, the main power of which was replaced by a pedal bicycle, using gears and chains to drive the turntable.
The mud used to make clay pottery is clay dug from the riverside, Yuan Shan let more than a dozen people carry out a series of treatments on the mud, and finally knead the dough evenly, and then began to make pottery blanks, Yuan Shan was the first to experiment, in the rotation of the billet machine to make a bowl that was somewhat out of shape, and then a group of people began to make it.
Basically, the most done is the earthen pot, the bowl, and then I started to make some clay cups from Yuanshan, and after a few attempts, the cups are made in a good way, but most of them are a little distorted.
Only the cup that Qianyu learned to make is very decent, which may have something to do with her martial arts, her hands are relatively stable, and the cups turned out on the billet machine are relatively round.
In order to meet the speed of the billet machine, he could only call Yu Chi Baolin and other people to take turns to pedal the bicycle, while the rest of the people began to take on the work of kneading the mud.
"Baolin accelerates again, we must maintain the current speed, keep it" As a result, Yu Chi Baolin and others tragically became the first batch of power providers for the pottery workshop.
Yu Chi Baolin's wheezing face was covered with sweat, Yuan Shan didn't tell him to listen, he could only stare hard, fortunately, the strength was not too much, but it required long-term endurance, which was a big challenge for Yu Chi Baolin's strong body.
After a few days of making practice, Wonshan's hand has become more stable, and making a round bowl and cup has become easier, although there is still a slight deformation, but it is much better than before.
In a few days, he made a batch of various bottles and jars, and Yuan Shan used plant ash and various ore limes to prepare several kinds of glazes, and then poured them on the jars and fired them, and different ceramics will be obtained.
The clay blank is fired first, then glazed, and then fired again.
What kind of effect can be obtained after glazing, Yuan Shan doesn't know, in the preparation time of the past few days, a total of thousands of various clay pottery items have been made, and there are all kinds of strange things.
Then start to enter the kiln for firing, mainly using wood as the raw material for firing, the whole earthen kiln is the same as the furnace, the underground firewood is burned, the fire will enter the kiln through the grate, there is a gap on it, the structure of the whole kiln is basically like a water jacket furnace, the difference is that the use of adobe structure and relatively large.
After the ignition is a long waiting time, at least five or six hours later, the kiln will be closed, and after the kiln will be closed for a day, after a day of cooling, the kiln can be opened to see what you will get.
After the unremitting efforts of more than 50 people, the kiln finally waited for the time to open the kiln, Yuan Shan took Dugu Ruolan and others to wait outside, and the famous Ding began to move things into the kiln in time.
Steward Zhou saw that the fired pottery appeared in several colors, some of which became blue-gray with lime slurry, some of which were yellow, some of which were green, and in short, there were all kinds of colors.
"Young master, is this what we do, there are so many colors, the kilns of the Tang Dynasty do not have such rich colors, the young master sees that the cracked pattern on this cup is very good-looking, if you take it out and sell it, it will definitely be sold for hundreds of dollars."
Steward Zhou shouted excitedly.
Yuan Shan saw that this was not borneol glaze, haha If this cup is taken out, it may really be worth a lot of money, dozens or hundreds, anyway, use it yourself, this shape is still very ordinary, if you want to sell it, you must find some masters who specialize in making pottery.
The spinning mechanism for the piles has been improved, and if the potter is replaced by a skilled potter, the dishes will be processed faster.
"Haha, look who made this cup."
Yuan Shan said immediately.
During the production of these pottery, the name of the producer will be left behind, and some family members are illiterate, and someone will do it for them.
"The young master is a cup made by the second lady."
After reading it several times, Steward Zhou handed the cup directly to Yuan Shan's hand and said.
"Haha, I didn't find that Qianyu is very artistic."
Yuan Shan praised Qian Yu on the side loudly, and at this time Qian Yu also took the cup over and looked at it, this is made by himself, even if the shape is not so round, the key is that this intention is important.
"First move out the burned pottery, separate the burned ones, and unify Steward Zhou a few times to see whose craftsmanship is good, and then be responsible for the work of the pottery workshop."
Yuan Shan said.
Then he said: "In the future, when this pottery workshop is fine, everyone can come and make pottery, and in addition, we will hire some craftsmen who can make pottery, and then put it into production." ” "Yes, young master, these old servants have already written it down, and they will do it soon."
Steward Zhou said.
"Okay, let's see how the results of this Hou Ye's production are."
Yuan Shan said, while walking towards the teapot he made, the teapot he made is relatively small, and the shape is very special, you can see it at a glance, so there is no need to look for it at all.
A total of three teapots were made, but unfortunately one of them burned, but the other two were good, and Wonsun was happy to hold the teapot he made himself like a treasure in his hand and look at it over and over again.
"Husband, what kind of pottery is this, it's so strange, it's too small."
Dugu Ruolan asked, in fact, the teapot with a spout made by Yuan Shan already had a spout in the Tang Dynasty, but this shape is indeed very special, very small and exquisite.
"This is a teapot, but it's not used to make tea, but a pot used to make tea, and in a few days the husband will fry some tea, and then Ruolan will understand, right for your results, take it out and take a look."
Yuan Shan said.
"There, the biggest jar."
Dugu Ruolan said immediately, and then went over and wanted to move the jar, but it was a little heavy, when this jar Dugu Ruolan made it, it was kneaded into a long round strip with mud and then circled around, and then the outside was good and the inside was wiped evenly with mud again, the ancient jars were basically made like this, and I don't know where Dugu Ruolan learned it, and it was really successfully fired.
