God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 370

Hearing Xu Jingxing's words, Yu Zecheng laughed loudly and said, "That's the truth, but it's easy to say, but hard to do. Everyone knows the truth of being multi-talented, but how many people can be multi-talented? It would be great for some people to be proficient in one skill, but some people have such intentions, but they often end up being greedy for more than they can chew. One is not to be an outstanding person in the world."

Xu Jingxing said with a smile: "I am the second one. I am greedy and can't chew. I am dull and understand a little bit. Everything is simple."

"Wrong, you are wrong, in my opinion, you are a genius who is proficient in everything," Yu Zecheng said sincerely: "The skills you are proficient in, each of which is worthy of ordinary people's lifetime to study, and you are specialized in everything." Even if you study for a lifetime, you may not be able to reach your current level, not to mention, you are only in your early twenties, and you still have a lot of time to continue studying."

Being praised by a sincere old man like Yu Zecheng, Xu Jingxing felt much more comfortable in his heart, but he also knew that the level he showed was worthwhile. For example, the wood carving skills he relied on most were thanks to Ruyi Gloves. If he didn't have Ruyi Gloves As an assistant, he will definitely not have the achievements he has now. At most, he can be regarded as an ordinary woodcarver with a decent income.

However, he didn't intend to continue to be humble. The old man Taizu said that excessive modesty is pride.

So he smiled and waved his hands, "Mr. Yu, please don't praise me, I will be proud. Look at my little apprentice, he is so praised by you, he is so happy that he can't close his mouth from ear to ear."

Yu Zecheng looked at An Xin, who was pursing her lips, and smiled, "The little girl is very energetic, why are you willing to let her do woodcarving? That work is physical work, right?"

An Xin quickly said: "Grandpa Yu, I like woodcarving very much."

"Hehe, as long as you like it, as long as you like it," Yu Zecheng said with a gentle smile: "Take good care of your master to learn the craft, and if you can learn half of his skills, it will be enough for you for a lifetime."

"Hee hee, don't say half of it, I'd be very happy if I can learn one tenth of it," An Xin said with a naughty smile, "Grandpa Yu, you don't know, my master has a lot of skills, so he still studies every day. Learning antique appraisal, learning ancient architectural design, learning jade carving, and even reading books on porcelain firing techniques..."

Yu Zecheng's face changed drastically when he heard this, "Xiao Xu, you, this..." The old man was obviously frightened.

Xu Jingxing said with a smile: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I just read some related books. You also know that our profession has relatively high requirements for miscellaneous studies. You may not be proficient in some related industries, but you have to. I understand, so when I am free, I will read some messy books to pass the time."

Only then did Yu Zecheng suddenly realize, "I thought you were going to be an omnipotent all-rounder."

"Hey, it's not easy to be an all-rounder. I'll at most learn some carving-related skills to enrich myself. As you know, the woodcarving industry is relatively unpopular. If you hold on to such achievements, you will be eliminated sooner or later. .”

"No wonder you want to learn the craftsmanship of purple clay ware. That thing is closely related to carving, and you have a background in wood carving, so you can get started faster." Yu Zecheng nodded repeatedly, and it was obvious that the old man admired Xu Jingxing more and more .

This time old man Yu didn't drive, he sat in the co-pilot to guide Xu Jingxing, and at the same time gave a brief introduction to his old friend.

According to Yu Zecheng, his friend's surname is Tang, and his name is Tang Xianhai. He is a local, but he grew up in Yangxian.Yangxian is the famous pottery capital, the birthplace of purple sand ware, and the atmosphere of ceramic craftsmanship is very strong. Although it suffered a relatively big blow in some special years, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it quickly revived with the support of the state, and It has become a famous pottery capital, and Yangxian's purple clay teapots are even more famous all over the world.

That is to say, in the era of the revival of purple sand crafts, Tang Xianhai entered a state-owned purple sand factory as an apprentice, and with his hard work and outstanding talent, he quickly emerged and became a well-known purple sand craftsman, and in the 90s He was rated as a provincial master of arts and crafts.

Perhaps in other industries, a mere provincial arts and crafts master is nothing, but in Yangxian, there are countless masters, and being able to kill a bloody path among so many purple sand practitioners is enough to prove that Tang Xianhai's strength.Moreover, Tang Xianhai never left the factory after he became famous, and has been working hard for the development of the factory. He returned to his hometown after retirement, opened a studio, and taught skills publicly, which is very respected.

After listening to Yu Zecheng's introduction, Xu Jingxing had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He always felt that the craftsmen who came out of that era had such a charming demeanor. This Tang Xianhai's craftsmanship was not outstanding, but he was a human being His attitude towards life and traditional culture and craftsmanship reminded him of Mr. Lian Yunhai.

Compared with the current younger generation, the older generation is indeed admirable.

And he likes to get along with such old seniors the most.

Therefore, he couldn't wait to meet that old Mr. Tang Xianhai. Even if he didn't have the chance to get to know him during this trip, it would be nice to be able to admire his old man's craftsmanship.

Tang Xianhai's studio is in the urban area. It takes less than 10 minutes to drive there, but the specific location is a bit remote. It is very quiet in the door store at the back of a community. The name of the studio is also very simple. It is called Tang Xianhai Zisha Arts and Crafts Studio.

After parking the car, the master and apprentice followed Yu Zecheng and walked in.

When I entered, there were many children chattering around looking around in the store, and two young people were giving explanations. No one cared when they saw the three of them, only a young girl who looked like a teller came up to say hello, " Three, what do you want to see?"

Yu Zecheng asked directly: "Is your boss here?"

"On the third floor, are you...?"

"Oh, just tell him that Lao Yu is here," Yu Zecheng said with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, wait a minute," the young girl hurriedly picked up the phone to ask for instructions, and quickly said with a smile on her face: "Mr. Tang, please go up directly," she asked, "Do you want me to take you up?"

"No, you are busy with your work," Yu Zecheng said to Xu Jingxing and his apprentice, "Come up with me, and I will lead you to find the right master."

Xu Jingxing and An Xin hurriedly followed, looking around while going upstairs.The first floor is a standard shop displaying all kinds of purple clay utensils, most of which are purple clay pots; the second floor is a small open workshop with more than 20 workbenches, and three or five people are working in front of each one. Lively; the third floor is very quiet.
