The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 419 ask for advice
"Can any broken porcelain be repaired?" Bai Meixi was very excited after hearing the words of the two technicians. She thought that there was a missing piece of the Ru kiln plate at her aunt's house. If it could be repaired, it would be used in the future. The value can definitely increase a hundred times.

She had wanted to find a place to repair the broken piece of porcelain before, but now two experts were sitting here, which just solved her urgent need.

"It depends on what kind of porcelain it is. If it is a large bowl or a porcelain jar at home, it is easier to repair. The most difficult thing is the plate. The plate is too thin and has no fulcrum to bear the force. During the repair process It is very easy to cause secondary damage.”

"That's right. After the porcelain produced by our factory was criticized by the superiors because the tire was too thin and the breakage rate was too high, the factory tried to repair it, but the results were not satisfactory."

The two technicians gave the most professional analysis. Repairing porcelain is different from repairing ordinary large bowls. It requires more precision. It even needs to produce materials similar to the original porcelain for repair. This is a huge project, even if they are research People don’t have that much money to research repair materials.

At present, all they make are high-quality and low-priced modern porcelain, and they don't have the energy to restore some old items for the time being.

The expression on Bai Meixi's face immediately darkened. What she wanted to repair was the most difficult plate to repair, which was the Ru kiln with complicated colors. This matter is an extremely difficult antique restoration in modern society, and many experts It takes more than ten years to completely restore a Ru kiln.

In this era, there is a lack of funds and tools, so the difficulty of repair can be imagined.

"Actually, what I want to repair is a plate. There is a pretty plate at home, but one corner is missing. I feel it is a pity and always want to repair that corner."

Bai Meixi sighed softly and roughly described the style and degree of damage of the plate. The two technicians looked embarrassed as expected. The more delicate things are, the harder it is to repair them.

The plates Bai Meixi mentioned are owned by many families. They were all given to them when they were previously beaten to the landowner. Some of them are of great artistic value, and they are also the most difficult to repair.

"If it doesn't work, forget it. I'll just ask." Bai Meixi doesn't want to embarrass others. This kind of Ru kiln plates are not valuable in this era. Even if her aunt's plate cannot be repaired, she can definitely get it from other places. Where it was received, there must be many intact porcelains preserved.

"Don't be too disappointed. A plate like the one you mentioned is not impossible to repair, but it requires very high skills. There is a master in our factory who has such skills. His ancestors used to work in the palace. He specializes in the production of official kilns, and many of his craftsmanship are not taught to outsiders. If he is willing to take action, all kinds of porcelain can be repaired."

Two staff members mentioned an old master named Xu. This old master had a very weird temper and never accepted apprentices. Every time there was something for him to repair in the factory, he would lock himself in a small dark room. No one is allowed to watch the tinkering.

The factory director talked to him a lot about this matter. He felt that he was hiding his own secrets and had no collective consciousness, so he asked him to hand over his skills and teach them to the young people in the factory.

But Master Xu insisted that he had sworn a poisonous oath in front of his ancestors, and he could never pass this incident on to anyone outside the family, otherwise he would be struck by lightning and not be able to die well, and he would have no children or grandchildren.

The factory director used hard and soft tactics. It was useless to fire him or give him the salary of an eighth-level worker. Master Xu would rather starve to death than change his principles.

The factory director had no choice but to cherish his talent. After criticizing Master Xu several times, he still kept him in an extremely important position and asked him to be responsible for the repair of porcelain and the production technology of the factory. Even technicians like them, who have been in the industry for many years, have Always follow his guidance.

"Is this Master Xu so powerful?" Bai Meixi's heart suddenly ignited with hope, feeling that this Master Xu is simply a master from this world. "Of course it's amazing. Master Xu's craftsmanship is amazing. After passing through his hands, many broken porcelains can be as shiny as new, with no repair cracks at all. I saw with my own eyes that he broke one into five or six pieces. The teapot was put back together, and I can drink water from that teapot every day without any impact."

The technician surnamed Liang is a fan of Master Xu and has always wanted to become his teacher. However, Master Xu refused to agree no matter what, saying that he had no chance and would not learn anything even if he entered the apprenticeship. There was no need to waste this time. strength.

Bai Meixi nodded and felt that Master Xu was very principled. The more his craftsmanship can be handed down from generation to generation, the less easily he can accept apprentices. Otherwise, everyone will think that this opportunity comes easily and will not cherish it. There will be too many apprentices but not enough skills. It would be better not to have it. Many craftsmanship has been lost because the inheritors are too poor.

"Thank you two brothers. Can you please leave me your contact information? When I come back from the army to visit relatives, I will bring the porcelain plate over and let Master Xu have a look."

Bai Meixi took out a pen and paper and prepared to write down the contact information of the two masters, but neither of the two people took the paper and pen. Instead, they looked at Bai Meixi with a strange look.

"You said you want to go to the army to visit relatives? Are you a military relative?" When the two technicians heard that Bai Meixi was a military relative, they were immediately in awe. "You look young, we thought you were not married."

"I just got married this year." Bai Meixi smiled sheepishly, and the two technicians were extremely enthusiastic when they heard that she was a member of the military.

Not only did she clearly write down the phone number of the factory and their home address, she even told Bai Meixi her lover’s workplace so that if she couldn’t find them, she could call their lover.

Bai Meixi was extremely moved by this sincerity, and she wished she could take out a few more pears from the space and share them with everyone.

"You are welcome to visit Cidu with your husband in the future, and we will receive you then."

These two middle-aged people were very polite. Bai Meixi chatted with them until four in the morning before falling asleep.

The noisy carriage became quiet again, and everyone was snoring slightly.

This was the coldest time of the day. Bai Meixi's feet were numb from the cold and she kept shrinking back behind the chair. Her blood was almost frozen to the point of losing circulation.No matter how much she rubbed her legs, it didn't work. Instead, it made her feet itchy and painful.

Bai Meixi felt so uncomfortable that she wished she could return to the space immediately, huddle up in her warm quilt and have a good sleep.

She looked at the open space at her feet and suddenly had an extravagant wish. It would be great if a brazier could be placed in this carriage. It would be much more comfortable to heat her feet at this time.
