Chapter 199
Chapter 199
When we returned to Suicheng, it was just getting dark and the night market would not open for a long time.
Lian Li did what he said and took the children to the pottery shop to make clay pots and checked the accounts at the same time.
Child: ...Although I know they are richer than me, the Chen family’s pottery and other things are still a bit outrageous!
Even if they want to open a restaurant, right?
What does pottery have to do with a cook?
The child asked Lian Li curiously, he said -
"How refreshing! How can being a chef have nothing to do with pottery? Every dish needs something to be served. Opening a pottery shop allows you to think about matching styles and not be restricted to fixed forms."
The child seemed to understand what he said, but Lian Li was tired and wanted to sleep, so he sent the waiter to take her to see the pottery he had kept.
There are many cups, plates and bowls in strange shapes, some made of shells, some made of leaves, some made of big-mouthed toads, some made of silly geese, and some made of huge eggshells, some of which are very beautiful and colorful.
The child opened his mouth wide and asked the waiter, "Are these all made by Lianli?"
"No, these are all made by the chef in the shop according to the young master's instructions."
The clerk at Chen's pottery shop was also smiling and looked very pleasing.
The young master should be Lian Li.
Most of the servants of Chen Dianshen and Zhang Fengci called them "Master" and rarely called them "Father-in-law".
Yundou said that the eunuchs in the palace are called "gonggong" inside the palace, and "ye" when they go out.
But it was still strange to hear Lian Li being called Young Master.
It's as strange as someone calling Sister Xi "Miss".
That feeling is so unreal.
Child: ...How could someone like that play with me?
Life's circumstances are truly unpredictable.
"I don't make clay figurines, but I also want to make cups, plates, and bowls like this, is that okay?"
"Of course, Master said, you can play however you want."
Just don't bother him.
The guy kept the second half of Lian Li's sentence in his stomach and didn't say a word.
The child's eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"
The guy added carefully, "But it's best not to break anything."
The child said confidently: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who would get into trouble!"
Why did she break anything? She just wanted more clay.
The chef in the shop had gone home and couldn't teach her, but the clerk was able to give her a few simple pointers and reminded her:
"Today I can only roll the clay and do some finishing touches. If you want to paint it, you'll have to come back another day. Painting it wet doesn't look very good."
The child is not in a hurry. The place is not far away, so she can stop by when she helps run errands.
While Lianli was sleeping, the children painstakingly made a number of strange things, just waiting for them to be painted and fired.
Lian Li, who had just had a nap, came out from the backyard, took a look, and closed his eyes because of its ugliness.
Lian Li: Are you still dreaming?
The child came forward holding one of them and said, "Lian Li, look, I made this for you. Doesn't it look good?"
"What is this?" Lian Li didn't want to disappoint her, but he really couldn't tell what it was at first.
Child: "A tea bowl! I also made a saucer that looks like a lotus leaf, and a lid that looks like a lotus pod."
Lian Li thought thoughtfully: "This is... a lotus!"
The child wanted to say that the young man was teachable, but he couldn't remember what to say, so he said to him, "Your eyesight can still be saved. This is a lotus flower that has opened a little bit. When you need it, put a reed in it and you can drink it."
Lian Li:……
The word "thank you" lingered on his lips for a long time, but he couldn't say it.
"Then...how do I pour it in?"
Child: "Follow this hole. It's fun. If you can't pour it correctly, use a funnel."
It takes him a long time to drink a cup of tea, right?
Lian Li: "Are you deliberately seeking revenge against me?"
She still has to pay for the tea.
The child smirked: "How could that be? If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. I just thought you liked drinking tea."
Lian Li:……
"Then I thank you."
"You're welcome. You must use it often, and remember me when you do!"
Think carefully about the debt I owe. I don’t believe your conscience won’t hurt!
After the child finished saying this, he pointed to another one and said, "This one is for you too."
Lian Li made a bold guess: "Is this a tea tray?"
"This is a plate," the child said meaningfully, "a plate for vegetables, and you can also put vegetarian meat. It has several compartments. I named it the Shared Vegetarian Plate."
The child looked at Lian Li expectantly, with the purest desire in his eyes.
Lian Li:……
Lian Li made her a bowl, a big head bowl with an opening at the top of the head, named - Little Death-Calling Ghost Bowl.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the child was about to be killed. What else could he be but a death-chasing ghost?
Both of them looked at each other with forced smiles, then snorted and turned their heads away.
After a while, the child came back and wanted to give the bowl a lid with a lot of hair on it.
Lian Li's skill in shaping mud has nothing to do with the wonders of nature. At most, it can be described as... like a ghost.
Cooking skills don't seem to be very useful when it comes to making mud.
Anyway, the child didn't admit that the fat head with a maggot on it was hers.
Lian Li tried to save face: "That's a braid."
The child looked at him with an indescribable look: "If you say so, then so be it."
Lian Li: “That’s right!”
The child didn't want to argue with him, and she was very hungry after working for a long time and just wanted to eat.
Lian Li said there was a pancake seller outside the door, and asked her to go buy two to fill her stomach first, and he would come after changing his clothes.
Child: "It's dark now, why should I change clothes?"
"This outfit is too thin. I'm not like you, so how can I resist the cold?"
"Hurry up, then."
The child urged and then ran out.
Lian Li: What a little sniper...
He picked up another lump of mud, which had just been shaped like a ghost, but now it looked better.
The child's angry glaring, stepping on others, and punching in anger were portrayed vividly.
The most hateful thing is that the little clay boy has no hair on his head, only a few scars from ordination, and this is also an incense holder.
Judging from the position, the little clay boy's punch would sooner or later hit the flaming incense, and the place where his foot stepped would be a pit.
The words "be careful in what you say and do" are engraved on the base, and all the child's weaknesses are reflected there.
What a disgusting thing!
But he also made many people and things on the other side. They were quite rough, and the most delicate one was a fat, flat-faced cat yawning.
One look at it and you'll think of pumpkin.
A child definitely wouldn't have the heart to smash this thing, so he'd probably just have to keep it with a pinch of his nose.
How hateful!
When it comes to slandering each other, Lian Li and the child have a tacit understanding, both trying to piss each other off to death.
It’s a good thing they are not biological siblings, otherwise if they lived under the same roof, what kind of chaos would it cause?
Lian Li was quite impatient and wanted to make the child angry.
Ask the guy to dry it quickly and send it to the child.
After giving the instructions, he changed his clothes, took the sachet and went out to take a look.
The children all fell asleep on the table of the pancake stall.
He was dazed, holding the pancake in one hand and rubbing his eyes with the other.
Lian Li wanted to take her back, but she said, "No, I want to go to the night market!"
Just go, when I got to the night market, I almost fell asleep while eating a candied haws.
In the end, Lian Li accepted his fate and carried the ghost on his back and sent it back.
It was a good thing, but the child woke up as soon as he got home, and felt very sad when he thought about the delicious food and fun things he had missed.
Lian Li said that if she went to bed early, he would take her there tomorrow.
But there will be no night market tomorrow.
The child tossed and turned with regret, and was drowsy at dawn. He slept until the afternoon. When he opened the door, he saw snow falling all over the sky. There was no way he could go out to play.
We had agreed to go during the Chinese New Year, but Lian Li left before the New Year.
The clerk in the pottery shop waited until all the cups, plates and bowls were finished before bringing the clay figurines over.
She was naturally a little angry when she saw this, but Lian Li had already left, and the child couldn't argue with him.
Perhaps the only thing he had no regrets about was that Lian Li took away the tea bowl and plate given to him by the child.
