God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 377

Being able to watch a provincial-level master of arts and crafts create, even if the two people are engaged in different industries, is the ultimate happiness for a rookie practitioner.

This is how Xu Jingxing felt at this moment.

And before that, all he wanted was to take a casual look and then buy a set of discs to go back and figure it out for himself.

But thinking about it by yourself and watching the creation of a provincial arts and crafts master are two completely different experiences, not to mention that Tang Xianhai, a provincial arts and crafts master, will definitely not create quietly, and will definitely explain the creation process to him Difficulties in.

Thinking about it this way, watching from the sidelines tomorrow will give him even greater gains.

For him, this kind of harvest is more cost-effective than making a lot of money, because the craft is his own after learning it, and if he can learn something, he can earn more money back.

Are fish worth money, or fishing skills?

He is not short of money at all now, and fishing skills are naturally more precious to him.

So he nodded quickly, "That would be great, but will it delay your work?"

"Hahaha, what job do I have? At my age, if I am interested, I can make two pots for fun, and if I am not interested, I can give advice to students. It is very leisurely," Tang Xianhai laughed, looking very happy.This old man probably laughed more times than he had in the past year after communicating with Xu Jingxing for a long time.

Xu Jingxing also laughed: "This kind of mentality can't be better, but it's a pity that I haven't reached this level yet."

"For young people, you must strive first. There are a lot of leisure time. If you retire at 65 and live to 90 years old, you will have 25 years of leisure time," Tang Xianhai said with a smile.

"90 years old? Now that medical technology is so advanced and living conditions are so good, I guess everyone can live to be over a hundred years old."

"Haha, I'm afraid I'll feel bored after living too long."

"How is it possible? On the contrary, I think that no matter how long you live, you will never be bored, because the world is always changing, and the changes will be faster and faster in the future, and there will only be more and more wonderful things. Not long enough, hehe."

"This is also the reason, then live well, haha."

The three of them laughed together when they said this. Chatting with these old men is a good thing. They have a deep understanding of life and can always say something that makes him feel quite touched. This is why he is willing to talk to the old men. One of the main reasons for communication.

Perhaps, in terms of mentality, he can be considered a little old man, and few young people nowadays are as calm as him.

After chatting for a while, he offered to leave again, but Tang Xianhai naturally didn't allow it and insisted on treating him to dinner.

Yu Zecheng also helped to persuade.

When the two old men spoke together, it was really hard for him to refuse, even though he really didn't think it was interesting to have dinner with the two old men.He is indeed willing to communicate with the old men, but he really doesn't want to eat with the old men, because the old men have many problems, not to mention what they can't eat or what they can't eat, they can't drink and they don't have any interest in playing, they can only eat dryly , really boring.

But he yelled at Old Tang one by one, and Old Yu one at a time, so he wouldn't even give such a little face.

So I had a meal with these two old men in a private restaurant next to Tang Xianhai's studio.

The truth is exactly as he thought, the two old men's tastes are relatively bland, salty, spicy, greasy, raw and cold can't be eaten, they just ate a few home-cooked dishes, even An Xin felt a bit boring.

After eating and separating from the two old men, he and An Xin exchanged glances, then drove straight to the snack street, and enjoyed themselves only after having a delicious meal.

At 08:30 the next morning, he drove to Tang Xianhai's studio. Tang Xianhai was already waiting for them at the door. When he saw them get off the car, he waved, "Come on, I'm ready."

Seeing that the old man was so anxious, he didn't hesitate, and followed Tang Xianhai to Tang Xianhai's workshop on the third floor with An Xin.

Tang Xianhai's workshop is in the back of the reception room. It is a large and spacious room with an area of ​​about [-] square meters, but the layout is quite simple. Apart from a row of cabinets standing against the wall, there is only a solid wood workbench as furniture. , the rest are some fragmented tools and pieces of purple sand mud, which looks quite childish. If you don’t look at the finished and semi-finished products, this workshop is like a tragedy scene after a child played with mud, and it looks a bit messy.

But Tang Xianhai didn't think so, but excitedly led Xu Jingxing and An Xin in, pointed to a large pile of vermilion mud and said, "Look, this is the vermilion mud I told you about yesterday, and it's the best Zhaozhuang old mud, hehe."

"Really old mud?" Xu Jingxing asked in surprise.

"Then can it be fake?" Tang Xianhai proudly picked up a ball and rubbed it, "Try the feel."

Xu Jingxing carefully took the lump of vermilion mud that looked no different from mud, squeezed it, and felt that apart from being more delicate, its other characteristics were not much different from ordinary mud.Of course, if you feel it carefully, you can still feel some differences. In addition to being more delicate, there is also a rather peculiar feeling, a bit like the mud that you have been stuffed for dozens or hundreds of years in a pond, with a slightly Stale smell.

This is the old mud?

Tang Xianhai said yesterday that among purple sand clay, old clay is the most precious, just like old rice paper among rice paper.

After passing the test of time, the old rice paper has lost its bright and dazzling luster and is slightly dull, but its texture is more serene, and it is more charming when blended with ink.

The same is true for old mud. According to Tang Xianhai, the texture of the purple sand pot made of old mud that has been aged for several years or even more than ten years will become more moist. The color of water, after a little panning, will show an unusual and moving characteristic.

The purple clay teapot made of new clay is different. When it is first fired, it is dry and has a very strong fire.

Of course, Tang Xianhai also explained that the so-called old mud is the old mud with a relatively long stale period. The stale period is relatively long, and every particle or even every molecule of the mud will absorb enough water. In this way, after firing into finished products, The water color is naturally full.

Moreover, the old mud that absorbs enough water has stronger plasticity and better hand feeling, so that the stress in the mud can be dissipated naturally, and it is not easy to burst when fired at high temperature.

It's just that the old mud is used less and less, especially the good old mud, and the rare old mud is even rarer.Zhaozhuang zhuni is originally a high-quality zhuni, so the old zhuni in Zhaozhuang is even more precious.

Tang Xianhai was willing to take out this lump of old Zhu Ni from Zhaozhuang, which shows his sincerity.
