Su looked at the government magazine as he extracted the photo taken in Maple Tree district that day from his cell phone.

He had not taken a closer look at the photo that day, and now that he was taken out and enlarged it, it was even more shocking!

Almost all of the photos were of pottery waste. The finished products were piled up like mountains in the river ditches by the side of the road! Many of them were even mixed with a large amount of garbage, making it difficult for people to look straight at them!

Nearby were brand-new buildings, next to which was a mountain of trash. The people here often came and went, but they didn't notice it. Could it be that they had been smelling it for a long time and didn't notice it? Already numb and apathetic?

These small rivers and ditches were clogged up. Once a torrential rain fell during the flood season, it was very easy for them to form internal floods. Aren't these factories and residents afraid? Or had such a thing never happened before?

Looking at these photos, Rolo couldn't help but frown.

This scene was so far from her previous life that she had never even seen such a messy and disorderly industrial area. This was the first time she was faced with such disorder and confusion. She was deeply shocked.

According to the records of Yongzhou City, the Fengyang District of Yongzhou City has been producing ceramics for more than a thousand years since the Song Dynasty. In the early days of the founding of New China, in exchange for foreign exchange, the Maple Poplar area was used as a point of production for foreign ceramics, which were sold to Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia, earning a lot of foreign exchange for the country. Last year, according to our published data, Maple Poplar region's ceramic exports have already ranked the number one in the country, this is such an amazing industry! He won the title of Chinese porcelain capital for Yongzhou, defeating the Jingde film while it was still alive. It was said that in order to pacify Jingde film and to balance the relationship between Jingde film, the relevant authorities gave Jingde film the title of a thousand-year-old porcelain capital.

However, this was an industry that he was proud of, and its current production methods were so lagging behind. It was such a waste that it was shocking.

As a big pillar industry in Yongzhou, it should be the sustainable development of science. This kind of production must have stayed in the most primitive family style. It was a type of development that killed chickens and eggs. It was a predatory exploitation of resources. It was not scientific, nor was it sustainable!

The more Su Luo looked, the more he was stuffed.

While Yang Yan was cleaning the office, she suddenly stopped when she reached her side. Looking at the picture on her computer screen, she exclaimed, "Luo Luo Luo, you went to Feng Yang?"

"You've seen this ceramic trash?" Su Luo Luo Luo asked.

"Of course I have. Many of my classmates work in Fengyang's ceramics factory!" Yang Yan said, "Let me tell you, there is no need to buy the porcelain that the Maple Poplar people use, they only need to go to the roadside to pick it up. Some of the inferior and semi-inferior products are very good. The common folk use them everyday and it's even very high-end! "

"You picked it up and used it?" Su Luo Luo asked.

"I didn't, my classmate said. It was said that many foreign workers went to the roadside to pick up plates, bowls, teacups and so on. Some of them were not round enough, while some of them had a black dot on their disks. "Look, not only are there daily porcelain, there are also sanitary ware, and even toilets. Look," Yang Yan pointed at the pile of rubbish on top of the toilet.

Su Luo Luo Luo Luo looked carefully, it was really true!

There was a pile of high toilets and a pile of plates and bowls, two things that could not possibly be put together in this life, but which unexpectedly met and pressed together in this very channel.

"You have a classmate at the ceramics factory?" Su Luo Luo looked at Yang Yan and asked excitedly.

"Yes, there are a lot of pottery factories."

"Do what?"

"Girls basically do embryo cultivation, flower pasting, picking and so on. If it's more impressive, we can design it. There were boys who grained, who made molds, and there were boys who made kilns. It was hard work — "Yang Yan said," Why are you asking these questions?

"Can you show me the factory where they work?" Su Luo Luo Luo said.

"Sure, but the station master won't let me leave." Yang Yan was confused.

"If the day doesn't work, we'll go at night! Are they working overtime tonight? " Su Luo thought for a while and said.

"Yes, they often work overtime. They still have to work until after 10 PM when they have a lot of orders!" Yang Yan said.

"Then we'll go tonight!" Su Luo Luo Luo said, "Lead the way, I'll drive, we'll contact your classmates first. "Make sure we can get in. I want to interview them, okay?"

"Interviews? I'll have to ask them. " Yang Yan said.

"Let's not talk about the interviews for now, just go and take a look at them. "I'll see what happens when I get there," Su Rolo said, afraid that those people wouldn't let them in the interview.

As long as she could go in and see them, Rolo would have a way to ask her about what she wanted.

"Alright, I'll contact them at noon." Yang Yan said.

"We can't let the Station Head know about this. We won't tell anyone, so we'll quietly and secretly —" Su Luo Luo Luo said mysteriously.

"En!" Yang Yan also nodded mysteriously.

Yang Yan felt that her life had become much richer after Su Luo Luo's arrival. She really enjoyed being with Su Luo Luo. She was very happy, and she was also able to broaden her horizons. "Now she's learning, too, and trying to find ways to improve herself as Su Luoluo says.

That night, Su Luo drove the broken car to Maple Valley with Yang Yan.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the factory where Yang Yan's classmates were working — Dragonhair Ceramics.

It was a large factory located in the village. The newly built factory occupied about ten acres and was divided into three large courtyards. There were several gates, all guarded by security guards.

Yang Yan led Su Luo Luo in. Just as the security guard was about to interrogate them, one of Yang Yan's classmates, Shi Jie, came out.

Yang Yan and Shi Jie had not seen each other for a while, so they couldn't finish their conversation.

Everyone chatted as they walked inside. There were dishes and cups everywhere in the workshop, and baskets of them were scattered all over the floor.

"What procedure are you working on?" Su Luo Luo looked at Shi Jie and asked.

"I am an embryo repairer," said Shi Jie. "After the ceramic is formed, I will begin to work on it."

Arriving at the place where Shi Jie worked, Luo Feng was dumbfounded.

There was mud everywhere, and the shelves were filled with freshly shaped dishes and plates that still looked wet. A few workers were working nearby. They all wore crude rubber gloves, dipped a large sponge in the bucket, and kept wiping the freshly made dishes. The water in the buckets was murky, almost mud, and they wore rubber shoes on their feet.

So many years had passed since the twenty-first century, yet the production conditions were still so simple and crude! Su Luo Luo Luo would never have thought.

Shi Jie sat down in her place and began to work proficiently.

Su Luo Luo walked towards the kiln workshop. Even before walking in, he already felt the intense heat. A few large ceiling fans were constantly rotating, and there were several high-powered electric fans on the ground. As he walked past them, he felt as if he were about to be blown away by the wind.

The shelves in the workshop were filled with air-dried plates and bowls. The kiln was bright red and working. There was a temperature control outside. Rolo saw that the temperature was 1050 degrees Celsius.

Several people who looked like masters sat at a small wooden table beside them, smoking and drinking tea.

Su Luo Luo pulled Yang Yan and walked over.

"Hello, Master!" Su Luo Luo Luo Luo shouted respectfully.

The middle-aged master's entire body was pitch black, and he looked at her warily. "You're a newcomer?"

"I'm a friend of Shi Jie, how much of this ceramic will be burnt?" Su Luo Luo Luo asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"Curious — I've never seen —" Su Rolo said.

"It's hot in here, it's better for a lady like you to leave as soon as possible," the master said while smoking.

"Master, do you work in this environment every day?" Su Luo Luo Luo asked again.

"Of course, this is my job," the master said. "If you can't stand it, go!"

"I'm fine!" Su Luo Luo Luo said, "After this furnace's high temperature, is it the finished product?"

"Hur hur, there are still a lot of procedures!" The master stood up and said, "This white porcelain will be burned to over 1,300, about 10 hours. "After leaving the kiln, one would need to put a flowery paper label on it, and then return it to the furnace to burn —"

"Is that the finished product?" Su Luo Luo Luo asked.

"Yes, we still have to pick out the defective products and polish the bottom. Only the genuine superior items are left behind," the master said.

"How high is the success rate?" Su Luo Luo Luo looked at his teacher and asked. This was the answer she wanted the most.

"Generally, seventy percent is good enough. Sometimes, it's only about fifty percent, and there are many defective products. This is related to the mud, and also to the previous few processes, so we have to grasp the quality of the products to every point — "The master said.

Su Luo Luo Luo Luo nodded, his master was speaking the truth.

"Throwing away the defective product just like that?" Su Luo Luo Luo asked.

"In the past, the factory would be taken away by someone, but when the cost was higher, it would be left outside, and in a short period of time, a mountain would be formed," the master said. "Unfortunately, this is a huge waste of resources!"

"Can't I use the defective product again?" Su Luo Luo Luo asked.

"It's impossible to use it again. But if you don't want too much quality of life, these defective products are perfectly usable. "Before, someone had come to buy this defective product and sold it to some poor areas, but now the cost of shipping was high and no one wanted to buy it," the master said.

Su Luoluo wanted to continue asking, but he saw a middle-aged man who looked like a boss walk over. He looked at her warily and asked, "Which department?"

"Are you the boss?" Su Luo Luo Luo asked.

"Yes, I'm the boss. Who are you?" The boss looked at Su Luo Luo Luo Luo with a face full of doubt.

"I — I'm —" Su Rolo immediately took out his work card and handed it to the boss.

"Journalist? Who let you in? "Hmm?" The boss immediately put on a stern face and said, "Leave immediately!"

"Don't be angry, I don't have any malicious intent and I just want to ask you a few questions, okay?" Su Luo Luo Luo asked.

"Sorry, I don't accept any interviews, and my factory doesn't welcome reporters! Please leave immediately! " The boss said angrily, then angrily rebuked the furnace master, "Did you let them in?"

"No …" the Master said weakly.

"Then who let you in? Ah? Who let the reporters in? " The boss was infuriated. "Everyone has been let in. What do you think of this factory?"

Su Luoluo and Yang Yan were both shocked by the boss's loud roar! Yang Yan's hands were trembling as she held onto Su Luo Luo tightly. She couldn't wait to disappear from this place.

That kiln master kept winking at Su Luo Luo and Yang Yan, telling them to leave quickly! Run!

Yang Yan pulled Su Luo's hand and quickly moved towards the side door!

"Halt!" "What are you doing sneaking into my factory?"
