Chapter 9
Xu Jiuzhao had already passed the smelting of porcelain clay, and Master Gao didn't make things difficult on purpose, and quickly inspected Xu Jiuzhao's proficiency in other processes.He was surprised to find that Xu Jiuzhao was not proficient in other follow-up procedures in the porcelain firing process.
In this regard, Xu Jiuzhao, who didn't want to deliberately cover up and waste time studying again, could only pretend to be shy and admit that he often observes on weekdays, and often reads related books in private.
Master Gao was skeptical, but even so, for an apprentice who had never been exposed to the firing process before, but only learned it for 4 months, this progress was too fast.
However, Xu Jiuzhao seriously recited the titles of several books for him, all of which were related to making porcelain. Only then did Master Gao dispel his doubts.
Xu Jiuzhao was not fooled. After realizing that he did not understand modern vocabulary, Xu Jiuzhao went to the bookstore to read for nothing.
Thanks to the prosperity of the local ceramics industry in Zhengzhou, local bookstores are much richer in related books than those in other places.
These days, Xu Jiuzhao no longer takes the bus to go to the bookstore, but rides an electric car instead.
On the one hand, it is to save money, and on the other hand, it is to avoid crowding with so many strangers.
During rush hour, there are many people and vehicles, and there are often traffic jams on the road. It is unbearable for Xu Jiuzhao, an ancient man who has never spent a lot of time in traffic jams before.
As long as Master Gao teaches traditional crafts, Xu Jiuzhao masters them as quickly as a sponge absorbs water. The fast Master Gao even feels scary.
At the beginning, Master Gao was very satisfied with Xu Jiuzhao's learning attitude and speed, and was even tempted to accept Xu Jiuzhao as an introductory disciple.But later, when he was really allowed to start painting and depicting decorative patterns on the porcelain body, he realized that he had a spirituality that he did not have.
At this time, Master Gao realized that with his own ability, he could be an enlightenment, but if he really became the teacher of the other party, it would delay his talent and talent.But if he abandons this apprentice, it will make him feel very sorry and regretful.
Xu Jiuzhao didn't know Master Gao's thoughts.
It's just that after studying with the other party for a period of time, it seems that Master Gao is quite satisfied with him, but it has been a long time since the other party accepted him as a disciple.This made Xu Jiuzhao puzzled and uneasy.
In the era he lived in, most people would not teach their skills without being really included in the door.What's more, even if the master who has accepted an apprentice will even leave behind the bottom-of-the-box skills, he is afraid that the master will starve to death after teaching the apprentice.
Xu Jiuzhao was worried that if Master Gao didn't accept him as an apprentice, he wouldn't really teach him everything he had learned.
After work this day, Xu Jiuzhao spent more than an hour running to the bookstore in the urban area to pick up books and didn't leave until the door closed.
Originally, Xu Jiuzhao was supposed to move to Yunwen Porcelain Factory, but in order to read books for free, Xu Jiuzhao ran back and forth tirelessly every day.
Xu Jiuzhao has now reached a certain level in order to save money.
Xu Jiuzhao kept an account, and now he owes Wu Jiuli 7000 yuan in total.And with his current monthly repayment of 800 yuan, it will take a total of three years to pay it off.This is even if he does not eat or drink.
To be honest, Yuanzheng's clothes were very old, some were even too small, but for the sake of saving, as long as they were not worn out, they couldn't be worn anymore, so Xu Jiuzhao didn't throw any of them away.
He ate at a porcelain factory, lived in a welfare home, and used public electricity for charging back and forth. He tried his best to save money in this way. During this time, he only saved 500 yuan (including the one that Wu Jiuli gave him before. count as spent).
Xu Jiuzhao was also a little anxious. He had tried his best during this time, but Master Gao still had no plans to accept apprentices.When can he become a full-time kiln worker and get a raise?
Should he try harder?
But now Master Gao has called him a genius, what if he tries harder and is burned as a monster?
Xu Jiuzhao is worried about this.
The battery of the electric motorcycle is not enough. In order to ensure that there is enough electricity to ride back, Xu Jiuzhao pushed the electric motorcycle and planned to walk for a while.Because of his heavy heart, he was caught in his own thoughts, and he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment.
During this period of time, he has walked this road many times, even if he walked in a daze, it would be fine.So when he noticed something was wrong, two fast runners rolled past him.
It is quite late now, almost 10:30, and there are not many people on the road.Seeing the two fleeing desperately, afraid of getting into trouble, they hurriedly dodged to both sides, only Xu Jiuzhao was walking on the side of the road foolishly.Xu Jiuzhao saw that something was wrong with the situation, so he got on the bike and wanted to leave quickly on the electric bike.
"Stop!!" A loud shout came from the figures chasing the two of them, and a tall man with long legs quickly approached Xu Jiuzhao.
Xu Jiuzhao turned his head and saw the man's face inadvertently.That man has sword eyebrows and stars, and is very handsome, but now his eyes are cold and his face is full of sternness.He ran very fast, and ran to Xu Jiuzhao's side in the blink of an eye.
The two people in front had already run far away and could not be seen after turning a corner.The tall man ran to Xu Jiuzhao's side, saw him straddling the electric scooter, and stretched out his hand to pull him down.
"Borrow your electric car for urgent use!" The tall one was a head taller than Xu Jiuzhao, with long hands and feet, and great strength. Xu Jiuzhao was dragged off unexpectedly, turned around on the spot, and was confused.
The big tall man let go, took out a small piece of paper from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand: "I will compensate you for the car!"
As soon as the words were finished, the man turned the handlebar and swished out, and ran a long way in the blink of an eye.
Things happened too fast, Xu Jiuzhao was holding a piece of paper in his hand, and watched dumbfoundedly that his only big one was taken away.
"My electric car!!" Xu Jiuzhao ran after him.
I don't know what happened to those two people before and they were chased.But there was a robbery in front of him, and the people hiding on both sides of the road didn't dare to get close.
Xu Jiuzhao ran vigorously and followed the two groups of people in front. Anyway, his original body's physical foundation was not bad, so he was not completely thrown off.
After running through several intersections with two groups of people, Xu Jiuzhao was also panting from exhaustion, his chest was burning and uncomfortable, and his legs began to feel heavy.But in order to defend his only big item, Xu Jiuzhao chased it desperately.
After running to a complex urban village, Xu Jiuzhao finally couldn't run anymore.
He shuffled slowly, and the two groups of people had long since disappeared.
Xu Jiuzhao was desperate, he felt that he could not recover his electric car.
After running all the way, Xu Jiuzhao was sweating profusely all over his body. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat, only to realize that he was still holding a small piece of paper in his hand.
With the light on, Xu Jiuzhao could clearly see the three lines above: "Bo Guxuan, Jiang Xin." The third line was a series of numbers. Of course, Xu Jiuzhao, who still doesn't know how to use the mobile phone, would not know that it is a series of mobile phones number.All he could know were Arabic numerals.
This piece of paper is hard, the workmanship is good, and it looks like there is a trace of ancient charm in it, but no matter how high-grade it looks, this piece of paper can't replace money.
Xu Jiuzhao was full of resentment: "Take this piece of paper and want to exchange my car? Do you think I'm stupid?!"
He didn't throw away the piece of paper, but stuffed it into his pocket bitterly as evidence of a crime.
My legs are sore, I have no strength, and I am still standing in a place I have never been before.Xu Jiuzhao suddenly felt sadness rising from his heart.
The villages in the city are full of small alleys, and some of them are just gaps between houses. Soon Xu Jiuzhao lost his way.
Turning around, Xu Jiuzhao suddenly found his electric motorcycle at the entrance of a narrow alley!
"Big piece!!" Yes, this electric motorcycle has such a status in his heart, and even has an exclusive nickname.
Xu Jiuzhao's eyes lit up, his back was no longer sore and his legs were no longer hurting, and he rushed over with a few big strides.He helped up the motorcycle lying on the ground.
Xu Jiuzhao looked at his electric scooter distressedly. The glove box at the back was smashed to pieces, the shell on one side of the scooter also cracked a big crack, and the handlebar was even bald and the handshake disappeared. Miserable as hell.
"Little thief You Na! Don't let me see you again!!" Xu Jiuzhao was furious.
It was past eleven o'clock, and the orphanage had access control.Xu Jiuzhao straightened the front of the car, twisted the crooked handlebar, pushed the tram to find a direction and continued walking. From this direction, he finally reached the main road, and finally returned to the original route after a circle.Not daring to delay any longer, Xu Jiuzhao hurried back to the orphanage.
And that carjacker blocked the two Huan who had been running before in a dead-end alley, and beat them up with bruised noses and swollen faces, tears streaming down their faces.
The two curled up on the ground, begging for mercy, Jiang Xin kicked her foot, and said sarcastically: "I ran for a long street, isn't it quite strong? Why can't this work? Come on, stand up, and continue to fight." .I will accompany you."
Sir, are you treating us as free sandbags?The two hugged their heads together and huddled together, not daring to show their heads.
Jiang Xin snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Who told you to set me up? How dare you lie to me, you are really brave."
One of the people who was beaten held his head and said in a muffled voice: "Brother, you also know that what we do in our business is to pay attention to eyesight. If you suffer a loss, you can only blame yourself for not being good at learning. You don't suffer a loss, do you? Why are you holding onto us?"
"Do you really think I'm blind? The thing is not the same as before. If it's really the same thing, I can only consider myself unlucky if I get a hole in it. Of course I won't find you." Jiang Xin kicked again, scaring the speaker The person trembled, "Say, who is instigating you behind the scenes?"
This time when Jiang Xin came to Zhengzhou to receive the goods, it was entirely through the middleman.The deal almost came to fruition. If he hadn't had an extra heart, millions of dollars would have been in vain.
The author has something to say:
Xu Jiuzhao: Pay me for car repairs!
Jiang Xin: call
Xu Jiuzhao: What is the phone number?
Jiang Xin: ...
