In private, Su Qingluan heard Liu Yunniang complain more than once that her appetite was too big, so much so that she was always hungry for a while.
Seeing her sitting there trying her best to remain polite and chewing in small bites, he was worried that she wouldn't be full because she felt embarrassed, so he used the serving chopsticks to fill her bowl with various meats and vegetables to prevent her from eating too "actively".
On the other hand, Yang Shi kept holding Liu Yunniang's thin arm and sighed: "Oh, how can such a little girl be so thin? I thought my daughter Da Ya was thin enough, but you are even thinner than my daughter Da Ya!"
Then he also joined the army of people adding more rice and dishes.
Although Liu Yunniang has a big appetite, it is not as high as those "big eaters" and is still within the normal human range.
So with Yang and Su Qingluan feeding her in this "two-pronged" way, Liu Yunniang soon felt that she had almost finished eating - and because the dishes cooked by Su Qingluan were so delicious, she even took another steamed bun and added half a bowl of porridge when she was almost finished.
The two children had eaten quite a bit today. Brightly colored things certainly caught children's attention, and they specifically chose the colorful steamed buns. Su Xueyan, in particular, had been playing with Liu Yunniang for a while, and now her stomach was empty, so she ate more than usual.
Originally, Su Qingluan thought that since it was Liu Yunniang's first visit to the Su family, the reception should not be too shabby as it was a kind of "welcoming banquet".
So although the Su family usually holds the frugal attitude of "cook as much as you eat", this time in order to make the dishes more sumptuous, all the dishes are specially portioned.
So even though there were only eight dishes, Su Qingluan estimated that it would be enough for at least eleven or twelve people to eat.
Unexpectedly, almost everyone performed beyond their expectations. Even Su Qingluan herself was so moved by the delicious atmosphere that she ate half an extra bun.
So after this meal, the result was that, including Su Qingluan, everyone was so full of food that they could hardly stand up. They sat at the table with their round bellies, not wanting to get up lazily.
Eventually, Liu Yunniang was the first to lose her composure and tried to clear the dishes, but Su Qingluan grabbed her and said, "I told you today is a welcome banquet for you. How can I let you clear it then?"
Yang also smiled and said, "Little Liu, just listen to what Daya says. If she wants to hire you, she won't let you stay idle. You'll be busy starting tomorrow."
There was no conversation that night. That night, Liu Yunniang stayed in Su Qingluan's room.
Sure enough, starting from the next day, Liu Yunniang started to run around like a cart, following Su Qingluan non-stop.
The next day was the so-called "interview," and the job posting clearly stated that the final application deadline was tonight at 6:00 PM. Su Qingluan wouldn't hire anyone who applied after that time.
However, before noon, since everyone had to work in the fields, Su Qingluan was not worried that anyone would be left out during this time.
It was for this reason that Su Qingluan took Yunniang to the market early in the morning.
Although the outer packaging of the jam was designed by Mu Xingzhi, and Su Qingluan also told him her general design ideas, the container of the jam has not yet been finalized.
So Su Qingluan spent the whole day comparing the several plans that had been finalized, and finally chose a celadon with ice cracks.
In fact, this kind of celadon with ice cracks was not considered a valuable item in the aesthetics of that era. On the contrary, it was not popular among wealthy families because the porcelain cracked due to uneven heating during the firing process, giving people an ominous feeling of "breakage".
Therefore, any porcelain with this kind of ice cracks is considered a "defective product". Not only is it sold cheaply, but it is also always sold as a "gift".
So when Su Qingluan deliberately chose such an ice crack porcelain seating container, both Liu Yunniang and the porcelain vendor felt very strange.
Su Qingluan didn't explain anything, but just smiled at Liu Yunniang and said, "Sometimes, even things that others don't think highly of may still have their place."
For example, this ice crack porcelain is not popular, so it must be rare among wealthy families.
Ice cracks have many die-hard fans in modern times, and although aesthetics are diverse, they also have their own commonalities.
A porcelain pattern that was favored by the majority of people in another time and space may not necessarily attract a group of fans in this time and space - as long as it is promoted and the ice cracks are separated from the images of "broken" and "ominous".
Moreover, although this porcelain is not expensive, its color is azure. If it is painted before firing and then glazed, it will give the impression of petals dancing and falling in mid-air.
Compared with the plain white porcelain, this kind of celadon has a unique sense of transparency and clarity after being painted, which is better than pure white porcelain.
Su Qingluan also patiently changed and mixed several similar colors, matching the color of the petals on each bottle with the sky-blue background to achieve the best visual effect.
Finally, Su Qingluan selected the color for the pattern and finalized the shape of the container.
"Each set consists of three jars. The color and pattern of each jar must follow my drawings, without any mistakes." Su Qingluan looked at the porcelain craftsman. "I want ten sets in total. Here's a deposit of ten taels of silver. If I'm satisfied with the finished product, the price will be based on what we agreed upon."
