Chapter 39

The sun rose and the moon sank, and six days passed in the blink of an eye.Today is the ninth day of the lunar new year.After the eighth day of the lunar new year, the taste of the new year will be much weaker, but it will still be Chinese New Year before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Since it is Chinese New Year, there is an excuse to be lazy.Although the Su family pottery shop opened today, Su Ying still stays at home.In the evening, it was rare for Mrs. Su to return home early, and seeing that it was getting dark, Su Qing lay down in bed reading a book with a contented expression on her face.Mrs. Su knew that she worked hard on weekdays, so she didn't urge her to get up, but rolled up her sleeves, and cooked dinner with Feng Ling herself.

When the food was served, Su Qing hugged the quilt and fell asleep until she snored a little.Mrs. Su took the scroll she was holding in her hand, opened the cover and read: "Three Watches and Two Touches".Mrs. Su knew exactly what was in the title of the book, but she covered the back of the book on the table extremely calmly, and stretched out her hand to gently push Su Huang.

"Yazi, get up and eat."

Su Qing half-opened her eyes, and said vaguely: "Mother..." After calling her mother, she closed her eyes again.

Mrs. Su doesn't have the patience for Cai Xiaowen to pinch her face and ears.She took the hot face towel washed by Feng Ling, slapped it on Su Huang's face, and wiped it away with a cross.

"Uh...uh...it hurts...I get up, I get up..."

Steamed salted duck, fried sausages, mushrooms and vegetables, shredded sour potatoes, and beef pot stewed by Mrs. Su herself.Su Qing buried her head in eating, and had already eaten the third bowl of rice.Mrs. Su made a move, and put a big spoonful of beef on the rice for Su Ying, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Mmm..." Without raising her head, Su Huang gobbled it up, "Mother's beef is the best..." The canned beef was fragrant and tangy, and the soup was bright red and attractive. Su Fang liked it the most.It's a pity Mrs. Su rarely does it.

After eating another half bowl of rice, she finally raised her head to take a breath, and became concerned about her own mother: "Why did I come back so early today. I usually don't see anyone when I eat..."

Mrs. Su heard Su Ying's little complaint, and smiled slightly: "I went to the pottery meeting today, and I will be back after the meeting."

"The wine is hot." Feng Ling poured wine for Mrs. Su and Su Ying, and said casually, "Ma'am, what do I ask for leave?" When Kaichun Fengling wanted to ask for leave, Su Ying had already agreed.Now just wait for Mrs. Su to nod, and Fengling and Tangyuan will go to the south of the Yangtze River in February of the fireworks.

"Well, you go. I'm sure." Madam Su drank the hot wine, took the flagon herself, poured another glass and drank it, and filled the glass again.Just as she was about to drink, she suddenly thought of something and stopped drinking: "Uh! No way! Then I want to be alone?"

Fengling immediately objected: "You say it's all right! How can you turn your face faster than turning a book?" The money has been saved, so there is no reason not to leave.

"In fact, I have never understood the metaphor that turning your face is faster than turning a book. Why is it compared to turning a book... huh?" Su Ying stopped her chopsticks and asked in confusion, "Wait...how can I be alone? I'm not Are you there?"

"I went to the Taohui today for this purpose. The invitation from the Yixing Taohui to participate in Jiangnan Taojian has already arrived at our Taohui, together with the package."

"Oh, it's this one again." Su Ying didn't think so, took a shiitake mushroom, chewed it in her mouth, and swallowed: "I won't go."

Mrs. Su raised her brows, she was not surprised by Su Ying's attitude at all.Like Yufeng Taojian, Jiangnan Taojian is an annual Taojian held in Yixing.However, the scale is much larger than that of Yufeng Tao Jian, and most of the potters in the south of the Yangtze River will participate.Moreover, the potters did not bring the finished pottery for reference, but made it live in the whole process of the competition, which lasted for several days.Jiangnan Taojian invites the best potters from Yufeng Taojian to visit Yixing every year.Yufeng's nine-rank winners in the past four years are all Su Glaze.So counting this time, she has received four invitations, but she has never been to one.People from Yixing sent invitations all the way.The paper is exquisite, the font is beautiful, and there is also travel expenses. When you arrive in Yixing, you can stay in a high-end hotel, hot water is supplied for twelve hours, and all meals are included in the morning, lunch and dinner.Sincerity is nothing short of thick.However, Su Yang is not tempted, and has returned the package three times in a row.

"This time, you'd better go. Your master has spoken. I want to see you, and I hope you go." Mrs. Su never insisted on Su Qing.It's just that this time her master, Mr. Su Yang, did ask the person who sent the invitation to bring a message.

"Do you still want rice? Don't you want it? Then I'll eat it all." Su Ying finished the rice in the bowl, reached out and brought the wooden bucket in front of her, and used a wooden spoon to scoop out the remaining rice grains along the side of the bucket. Pull it all into a bowl.Scoop up another spoonful of beef soup and mix it with rice, and continued: "Yixing is thousands of miles away. It's so cold, it's not easy to go there. Master wants to see me, and I will go to see him when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Why do you need to mix other people's Tao Jian." Su Ying has never gone to Yixing to participate in Tao Jian, and there are gossips among Yufeng potters.Yixing and Yufeng are the two most famous pottery producing areas.If there must be a competition, then Yixing has always been the big sister.The most typical difference between high and low is the amount of pottery purchased by Guantao Pavilion from the two places every year.There are more Yixing than Yufeng.

If you are at a disadvantage, you will be unwilling.Many potters in Yufeng want to compete with those famous masters in Yixing, both openly and secretly.In the eyes of these people, the Tao Jian invitation that Yixing sends every year is no different from a letter of war.But the number one among them, Su Yang from the Su family pottery shop, never took up the challenge.Inevitably there were some rumors that Su Yang didn't go to Yixing because she was afraid of losing in the Jiangnan Tao Jian.

Facing these gossiping rumors without any basis, Su Ying really felt that what she said was too true.She was afraid that she would lose her stomach pocket after losing in Jiangnan Tao Jian.She is a northern pottery master who went to the south of the Yangtze River to learn pottery. Isn't this just waiting to be played by others?She knows the truth that a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake.What's more, those famous artists in Yixing are like dragons and tigers, and they are definitely not at the level of local snakes.Since it was basically a failure, she might as well not go, saving trouble and effort and saving her reputation.She would rather escape a hundred times than lose once, she knows this truth better.What's more, even if you worked hard to win the ninth rank, you will be surrounded by people from Yixing, there will be no applause but only hostile eyes, why is this necessary?Don't go thousands of miles to attract hatred, she knows this truth too well.So she was asked to go to Yixing to participate in Tao Jian, unless she took the wrong medicine.

"Okay. If you really don't want to go, forget it. I'll let Xiaowen help you explain to your master."

"Hmm... um?! Cough cough!" Su Qing wiped away the grains of rice that had coughed up to the corner of her mouth, and said in shock, "Xiaowen explained to Master?! Cai Xiaowen is going?"

"Yixing also sent invitations to Xiaowen this time. You two are invited." Yixing has always only invited Yufeng's ninth-rank winners.But after the local pottery association learned that Cai Xiaowen was also awarded the qualification of official pottery, they added an invitation card and gave them both travel expenses.

"Don't worry. I will teach Xiaowen how to explain to your master."

"I'll go!" Su Ying explained with her own words that turning faces is faster than turning pages.

That's right, she is going to Yixing to participate in Tao Jian, unless she has taken the wrong medicine.Cai Xiaowen is the wrong medicine.Although Su Ying hasn't eaten it yet, it still has medicinal effects.

The senior sister doesn't want to "eat", but wants to "be eaten", but she still can't, what a waste...|
