Chapter 128 Ingenuity

Zhang Yujing drove the car and took Chen Ming and Zhang Xianchu to complete the transfer of the blacksmith shop. Now, as long as the documents are complete and the procedures are simple, they will be completed soon. Chen Ming also went to the bank to transfer the money to Zhang Yujing.

Zhang Xianchu's face was always very heavy, and Chen Ming thought he couldn't bear to leave the blacksmith shop.

"Uncle Zhang, I will keep this blacksmith shop here and I will not remove it. I will leave one of your keys for you. You can go to the blacksmith shop at any time when you come back." Chen Ming said.

"Okay." But Zhang Xianchu was still not happy.

"Dad, are you reluctant to leave Daxipu? When you get to the city, you can walk around the community more often. There are also many elderly people in our community. They play cards and dance together every day, which is quite good. You are used to it. Maybe you can know Daxipu, but you still refuse to come back." Zhang Yujing said.

"What do you mean is that if we raise your baby in the future, do you want to drive us back?" Zhang Xianchu asked with a stern face.

"You know that's not what I mean." Zhang Yujing quickly explained.

"That's not what you mean, what about your wife? Can you be your wife's master?" Zhang Xianchu snorted.

Zhang Yujing stopped talking, and he really couldn't be his wife's master. It was his wife's idea to come back to cheat her parents on selling blacksmith shops and houses.

"Your mother and I have given you all the pension money. If your wife can't tolerate us in the future, how should we live in the future?" Zhang Xianchu asked.

Chen Ming finally understood why Zhang Xianchuyi looked unhappy. It was just like this, Chen Ming couldn't interfere in such a thing, and it was difficult for a clean official to make a decision. Chen Ming had to sit there and close his eyes and rest, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

"How is it possible? Chunxi is not such a person. Although she is a little stingy, she is not bad. Besides, even if Chunxi is such a person, I can't let you come back. I will never give in to you when it comes to major issues." Zhang Yujing was actually worried. Although he wanted to take all the money away from his parents, he did not have the intention to support his parents. After all, this is his biological parents. But his wife Xiao Chunxi really looked down on his parents. He always despised his parents as people from small places, and he did not have a lot of property, nor did he have any status, so he could not give them any help in work. After getting the money, Zhang Yujing didn't have to think about how Xiao Chunxi's attitude towards his parents was. It was definitely not much better.

Zhang Xianchu actually understood it very well, but for the sake of his son and grandson, Zhang Xianchu would give Zhang Yujing a pension money and the money sold by the blacksmith shop without leaving any land.

"Doctor Chen, you're laughing." Zhang Xianchu sighed.

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry too much. It won't be like this." Chen Ming comforted.

"Yes, dad. Not that." Zhang Yujing said.

Zhang Xianchu didn't say anything again.

Chen Ming had lunch at Zhang Xianchu's house. In the afternoon, Zhang Xianchu and his wife wanted to go to the city with their son. Chen Ming watched them take a bus and then returned to Chashu Village.

There are several excavators on the road at the entrance of Chashu Village. It seems that construction is about to start here.

The new highway has already been lined up and the ground has been sprinkled with lime. It is really convenient to build roads now, and there is no need for manpower to dig earth. As long as the money is in place, the road is moving forward very quickly.

Ma Yan and Chen Yonggang also gathered there to watch the fun.

"Doctor Chen, are you going to the market?" Ma Yan walked over.

"It's a little bit of a problem to go to Daxipu." Chen Ming said.

"In the future, this road will be much more convenient to go to Daxi paving," said Ma Yan.

"What's the convenience? I'll walk over and walk the same far. Please keep a look and don't make another tofu road." Chen Ming smiled.

"This time the county is taking charge of the project, we can't control it." Ma Yan shook his head.

"If you can't control it, you don't have to worry about it. Keep a close eye on it and don't let them make a fuss. If you can't control it, don't you know how to report it in the county?" Chen Ming said.

"Yes. From now on, we will send special people to watch each other every day." Ma Yan hurriedly reported this situation to Su Moxi. Su Moxi had already fully demonstrated his abilities in Teashu Village, completely convinced Ma Yan and other local cadres in Teashu Village.

Chen Ming thought, this woman is really not simple.

Chen Ming was not interested in road construction. Seeing that it was still early, he went to Chen Min'an.

"Is the matter done?" Chen Min'an held a wooden board full of clay pots in one hand. Although the above are all fine work and the weight is not light. After all, the wooden board weighs forty or fifty kilograms.

"You have practiced your strength." Chen Ming walked over and held the board while Chen Min'an was about to put down the wooden board to facilitate Chen Min'an to put it down. At this time, it is the easiest time to miss it. The wooden board is slightly tilted, and the clay pots on the entire wooden board will be smashed.

"What's this? In the past, the master in the kiln pulled out one of them and could lift two large water tank blanks with one hand. When one was not dried, it weighed dozens of pounds, and two weighed more than one hundred pounds." Chen Min'an put down the wooden board in his hand, and there were a little sweat on his forehead.

"Don't hurry, take your time." Chen Ming said.

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether the hand strength is big or not. Those modern pottery companies have been automated. There is no need to move them. They don't even have to move them into the kiln. There is also a dust removal device in the kiln, and the ceramics fired are not dusty at all. The glaze is very smooth." Chen Min'an envies those pottery companies.

"Take it slow, our kiln will become like that sooner or later," Chen Ming said.

Chen Min'an shook his head: "It's not easy to talk about."

After putting the clay pot blanks in place, Chen Min'an started to make new ones again.

Chen Ming also sat in front of his turntable and prepared to make a clay pot.

"Doctor Chen, what are you doing? It seems that they are all the same things." Chen Min'an asked.

"It's just for tea." Chen Ming gestured.

"This is pretty good, but it's only suitable for people in the city. One jar can't hold much." Chen Min'an frowned at the tea jar.

"That's not necessarily." Chen Ming said.

"The tea can hold at most one or two taels of tea leaves. The tea people in our village drink are all taken one by one. Your can of tea is not enough for everyone to grab it." Chen Min'an reached out and grabbed it in the tea can made by Chen Ming, which was really only enough for him to grab it.

"Who will grab you a handful of good tea leaves? The tea leaves I give to my uncle are just pinched bit by bit." Chen Ming gestured, "Let's go back and get you a can of tea, so you won't feel thirsty all day long."

"I have drunk that tea, it tastes really good." Chen Min'an had some reminiscence. No one can forget the taste of that kind of tea after drinking it.

"My tea is not suitable for grabbing it in one hand. It would be a waste if you put more." Chen Ming looked up at Chen Min'an, "It's a little bit."

"Your tea is not the tea from the old tea trees in the Ma family, right? How could there be such delicious tea in our village?" Chen Min'an said casually, scaring Chen Ming.

Chen Ming thought to himself, it would be a waste of your talent if you don’t go to fortune-telling.

"That's not because the tea leaves are good, but because my tea-making method is good. I used the tea made by making medicinal materials, and I also used the refining method to refine it, clearing all the impurities in the tea leaves, and all the good things turned into easily dissolved substances. So, every time I make tea, there is no residue at all." Chen Ming said proudly, the old tea tree would never be told even if it was beaten to death.

Chen Min'an reminded him: "Doctor Chen, I have something to remind you. Don't let others know about this tea. This tea is so delicious that it will inevitably remind people of the tribute tea from the Ma family in the past. Although the person who drank that tea was not alive, now such a delicious tea suddenly appears. What do you think the villagers will think?"

"I can do whatever they think. This tea is made by me. If their Ma family can't think about it and insist on annoying me, I will make you never dare to annoy me again." Chen Ming said

"Haha." Chen Min'an smiled and shook his head, continuing his life.

"If I don't come, how can you live here alone?" Chen Ming asked.

"I was really not used to it at first, but I just got used to it. When you see the clay changes in your hands, and the clay pot you make will look very different when you change a little bit. It's like you are creating it." Chen Min'an enjoyed this feeling very much.

"Yes. It's like creating a kind of life yourself." Chen Ming said.

"Yes, in my consciousness, it seems that I feel that this clay pot has life, created it myself, and then cultivated it to grow. I seem to be able to feel its pleasure." Chen Min'an said.

This is a kind of craftsmanship, and to do something with your heart.

Chen Ming didn't understand what craftsmanship was, but he understood Chen Min'an. When he drew the heavenly talisman, he integrated his mind into the world. At that moment, he could not feel himself or the world. He had completely integrated with the world. The so-called unity of man and nature.

Perhaps Chen Min'an could not achieve the level of unity between man and nature, but he was already moving in this right direction.

Chen Ming spent several days making tiled jars with Chen Min'an in the kiln, and the room was drying various tiled jars.

"If you continue doing this, we can get a kiln of clay pots in a few days." Chen Min'an wiped his sweat, his face full of excitement.

"How do you plan to solve the sales route?" Chen Ming asked.

"Party Secretary Su said he would help me solve the sales problem. But I would still try it myself first. Open an online store first and hang these clay pots in the online store to see if anyone buys it." Chen Min'an did not place all his hopes on Su Moxi.

"It's good. It's better to begging for others than asking for others. Maybe you can sell it all at once. Your clay pot is pretty, and it's glaze and fired, and it will definitely look better." Chen Ming said.
