Haitang took Lu Tui to see her third uncle. When they arrived at the lower village, many people in the village were looking at Haitang and the others, and there were children around. Haitang was a little surprised.
When Haitang asked others and arrived at her third uncle's house, she saw a lot of wood and various other things placed at the entrance of her third uncle's house. At this moment, these were stone tools.
Haitang did know where the stone tools came from... they were made by this race. As Haitang looked at them, her gaze lingered on one spot, where there were many burnt porcelain pieces.
Just as Haitang was looking at him, a tall man walked into the room and stared at her for a long while.
"Where did this little baby come from?" he asked, looking at Haitang. Upon hearing this, Haitang looked at Shi Ming in front of her, who bore a resemblance to her father.
"Hello, Uncle, I'm Haitang..." Haitang began to introduce herself. Upon hearing this, Shi Ming looked at Haitang with some surprise.
"It's you, you must be Haitang..." He said, looking at Haitang. He was a little surprised and invited her into the room. Haitang and Dongfang Long went in.
Looking at the room, I was a little surprised. The room's decor, along with the white color, was very rustic, and the table and chairs were all in good condition.
Although it is far from modern, it was a rare find in its time. The teacup was carved and made of wood, which surprised Haitang.
"This is all just idle speculation on our part." Looking at Haitang, Shi Ming said, "By the way... I heard that my elder brother... how is he?"
Shi Ming knew about what happened to Shi Shui, but he was a human going to the territory of the orcs. Once was fine, but after being humiliated twice, he was unwilling to go again. Besides, the orcs did not welcome humans.
He didn't go back, so although he was saddened by his elder brother's situation, he didn't care too much. In this era, feelings are often superficial, and people are usually indifferent to emotions.
"Father is in good health and can go hunting these days," Haitang said. "By the way, Uncle, what about the things outside?"
"Those things you mentioned, I made them," he said, looking at Haitang. "Right now, they're all polished from stone. You can take some back." Haitang shook her head when she heard this.
"No need." Haitang shook her head. She used a knife to cut things, and as for stone tools, Dongfang Long could polish them, so although they weren't very good, they were still usable.
"I mean, those porcelain pieces?" Haitang asked, and Shi Ming was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
"Those things were made by me, but every time I felt something was off, they weren't good enough." Looking at the crabapple blossoms, she immediately picked up her porcelain. "Look at these cracks, and these... It feels like something's missing? But I can't quite put my finger on it?"
Haitang paused slightly when she looked at Shiming, then quickly said, "Third Uncle, you did a very good job, but you weren't quite right with the heat, and there's something wrong with the stove."
"By the way, Uncle, how about we collaborate?" Haitang asked Shiming. "We can collaborate on making porcelain..."
Haitang said, "Xiaolong, go back and get me the bowl." Hearing this, Dongfang Long looked at Haitang, then at Shiming, and went to get it.
Shi Ming began, "Cooperation..." He didn't know why his niece had suddenly come and brought up cooperation.
"You could try asking the orcs," Shi Ming sighed. These people had a hard life; at the very least, they ate very little meat all year round.
In this situation, you can only put more effort into other areas, such as eating more fish. As for how to prepare the fish, you should kill it and dry it.
It just tastes really bad, and the orcs are prejudiced against humans. Many of their so-called brothers turn against them when they find out that their brothers haven't transformed into orcs.
His second brother was similar, so he didn't understand why Haitang was looking for him instead of going to his eldest brother and following his second brother's side.
At this moment, Haitang smiled and said, "Because the orcs are not as meticulous as you, Uncle. Look..." Haitang looked at the wooden teacup and said, "This thing is very beautiful."
Haitang could tell that Shi Ming's craftsmanship was very exquisite. The only drawback was the lack of innovation. In fact, the things he made could be found anywhere among the orcs, but they were made in a more refined way.
After Haitang and Dongfang Long took the bowl, they said, "Third Uncle, look, this is something I fired in my kiln. Isn't it very nice?" The porcelain bowl looked extremely rough at the moment, but to Shi Ming it was very exquisite.
Because I've never seen anything so exquisite before, I asked, "Did you make this?"
"Yes, I know how to make a kiln, but I can't make a big one. And Daddy's hands can't move too much. Little Dragon needs to hunt, so I want to ask you, Uncle, to cooperate. We can make a kiln together... and split the profits 50/50. Then we can sell the finished products."
Haitang looked at Shi Mingdao. As for the kiln, Haitang had no intention of taking it out and sharing it with everyone. At least she understood one thing at the moment: if...
If you give something away for free, others will expect you to give them something back when they have something good in the future. But if you don't give it back then, the kindness you once showed will turn into enmity.
In this situation, what Haitang needs to do is to engage in fair trade and equivalent exchange. Upon hearing this, Shi Ming was slightly taken aback.
"Shall we fire the kiln together?" Haitang nodded. "But... this..." Shiming hesitated. "Will your father agree?"
“Father will agree, and Uncle, you won’t lie to me. We’ll make a fortune together, so don’t overthink it,” Haitang said. “Let’s cooperate.”
Haitang initially wanted to ask Xiaolong to do it, but later thought about it and chose to find someone else because Xiaolong was not suitable and he was not interested in doing these things.
However, while his dexterity was undeniable, Dongfang Long was even more interested in using his dexterity on these wild beasts.
After Haitang told Shiming, she immediately decided to start looking for a place. Haitang chose a location, which was currently the border area between the lower village and the orcs, and planned to build the rooms there.
When Shi Hu heard Haitang's words, he said, "You mean you're going to build a house there right now? It's not safe there..."
“Father… but where is the best place? Uncle can’t always come to this side, so we can only build the house in the middle of that area, and Uncle can also build the house next door.” Haitang said, “Father, this way we can take better care of him. As for the safety issue, we can design traps.”
