God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 371 Tang Xianhai Studio
The third floor of Tang Xianhai's studio is very quiet. The huge space is divided into several workshops, and the decoration is quite elegant. There are some purple sand sculptures on display in the corridor, including portraits of people, and large ornaments such as animals, flowers and birds. The quiet atmosphere complements each other perfectly.

The three of them had just entered the corridor when the door of one of the workshops was pushed open, and a thin old man came out, glanced at him, and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Yu Zecheng walked over with a smile, "Bring two children over here to have a look," he said and waved to Xu Jingxing: "Xiao Xu, this is Old Tang."

Xu Jingxing hurriedly took a quick step, walked up to Tang Xianhai and said hello, "Mr. Tang, my name is Xu Jingxing. Please forgive me for visiting rashly."

Tang Xianhai frowned, nodded, but did not answer. Instead, he looked at Yu Zecheng with doubts in his eyes, as if he was asking "what's the origin of this kid".

Yu Zecheng laughed and said, "Xiao Xu is also your colleague. He is a woodcarver and is very interested in purple sand. I want to come and visit."

"Wood carving? You can't get a piece of purple sand," Tang Xianhai said lightly.

"Why can't I get a piece? Aren't they all for carving? But what you carve is purple sand clay, and what others carve is wood," Yu Zecheng said with a smile, "Besides, they just come to have a look and open their eyes. , It’s not like stealing your craft.”

"If he is willing to learn, that's fine," Tang Xianhai said calmly.

"Oh? Are you willing to teach?"

"Is he willing to learn?"

"Hahaha, if you are willing to teach, Xiao Xu will definitely be willing to learn," Yu Zecheng said with a laugh, "I haven't known Xiao Xu for a long time, and I don't know much about his character, but I know he is a studious person. If you It is your blessing to accept such an apprentice, you know?"

Xu Jingxing didn't speak at the side, but was a little surprised by Yu Zecheng's remarks. The old man seemed to want to introduce him to Tang Xianhai as an apprentice, and he kept trying to squeeze Tang Xianhai inside and out.However, Tang Xianhai's personality doesn't seem to be very good, and his attitude towards him has always been relatively indifferent. No, his attitude towards Yu Zecheng is not very good. It should not be aimed at him, but because of his nature.

Of course, he really didn't intend to become a teacher, so it would be fine to accept some guidance. If he really wanted to be a teacher, he would have to stay in Kecheng for a long time to receive guidance, but it was impossible for him to do that.

It's just that he hasn't figured out Yu Zecheng's real plan, so he is still pretending to be deaf and dumb, waiting for the final result of the "negotiation" between the two old men.

But through his observations, he found that Tang Xianhai really had plans to accept apprentices. After listening to Yu Zecheng's words, he focused his eyes on him and scanned up and down, as if looking at a ball of purple clay, judging whether he was qualified to make an exquisite Zisha teapot.

This discovery made him a little uneasy, but he was not in a hurry to deny anything. He hadn't spoken yet, and if he was self-indulgent, it would be embarrassing.

Tang Xianhai's eyes lingered on him for more than ten seconds before he asked, "What else do you do when you go out to do woodcarving?"

Before he could answer, Yu Zecheng said first: "I can also do seal carving, and I can also do stone carvings. The most important thing is that I have a very good foundation. I am a bit ashamed of my handwriting. I am also very good at traditional paintings. Landscapes, he can also draw boundary paintings, he can also make furniture, and he can also make ancient buildings. Do you know the resort that Qian Donggang built? The two most eye-catching attractions are his handwriting."

"Oh?" Tang Xianhai's eyes lit up, "You made that wooden arcade bridge and five wooden towers?"

"That's right, but I'm only responsible for the specific work. The overall layout was done by another senior. In addition, I also received guidance from other seniors during the construction process. It's not entirely my credit," Xu Jingxing said generously. admitted.

"That's amazing," Tang Xianhai praised, "Come in and sit," he said, turning and entering the workshop.

Yu Zecheng also went in, but when he entered the door, he turned his head and winked at him, looking like an old urchin, very interesting.

It's just that he really doesn't know what this old man wants to do. He just wants to see the production process of purple sand ware, and buy a set of CDs recorded by Tang Xianhai himself, but he has no intention of apprenticeship.In fact, there are basically no secrets in the handicrafts of all walks of life. If you want to learn, there are many places where you can learn them. There are many similar tutorials on the Internet. Except for those industry secrets involving formulas and secret recipes, other crafts There is nothing that cannot be learned.

This is because most of the handicrafts are easy to learn and difficult to master.

Just like woodcarving, if you only talk about craftsmanship, you don’t need to ask a teacher. As long as you have the heart, you can find the feeling after thinking about it for a while, just like a child making clay figurines.It's just that if you want to become a real woodcarving master, you must have your own style, creativity, and imagination in addition to exquisite craftsmanship.

It's the same for woodcarving, and it's similar for making purple sand.

Of course, the production process of purple sand ware is relatively complicated, and the blending of purple sand mud is also an industry secret. Even every famous purple sand master has a unique mud matching plan.However, if you are just getting started, the requirements for the ratio of mud materials are not high. Ordinary purple sand mud materials can also make good purple sand pots. pay attention to.

And the ratio of the mud does not mean that you have to look for ancient recipes, you can figure it out yourself. Anyway, there are only a few kinds of mud for purple sand, and the characteristics of different types of mud are also different. As long as you grasp the various muds It has unique characteristics, so it is completely possible to create your own exclusive clay. This is how the clay used by many famous purple sand masters comes from. Just like scientists do experiments, it only requires great perseverance, patience, care, and even a little bit of luck.

It is also because of this that those famous purple sand masters are so respected.

Of course, these advanced things are too far away for Xu Jingxing for the time being, he really just wants to learn some entry-level things.

While thinking wildly, he followed Yu Zecheng into Tang Xianhai's workshop.

It is said to be a work room, but it is actually more like a reception room. Entering the door is a spacious hall. The decoration inside is also quite elegant. There is a row of Chinese-style sofas against the wall. In front of the sofa is a tea table polished by tree roots. It is also a small stool made of polished tree roots. On the coffee table is a tea tray made of catalpa wood. Inside the tea tray is a set of tea sets - a brown Qinquan pot, six small teacups of the same color, and two small tea cups. Pet.

After entering the door, Tang Xianhai asked the three of them to sit down, and then picked up the teapot to make tea.

Seeing this, An Xin quickly took the teapot, and said with a smile, "Sit down, old man, I'll come."
