78. Small, shallow, Qi, old
Not bad, it's beautiful!
Xia Jie looked at the four teapots of different sizes made in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
I haven't been idle for the past few days.
The first is to take care of the vegetable garden and the fruit trees, the second is to pick some leaves, wrap some rice dumplings, and send them to my parents, and the third is to make these teapots in front of me.
Now that it's finally done, the effect of firing the four teapots is also very good.
Because there is no purple clay here, it is not a purple clay pot that is fired, but a black porcelain tea set.
However, because of the same ancient method of firing, the teapot is also full of simple charm, and the color is also very beautiful.
"Anchor, your craftsmanship is really good, you make a teapot, you have a good look!"
"Hehe, you haven't seen the Yao Changing Heavenly Eye Cup, that's a must!"
"This teapot is good or bad, I still know how to do it, how do you think the teapot is good or bad?"
"Uh...... This thing, I know that the purple clay pot is expensive, as for whether it is good or bad, ask the anchor!"
"Yes, yes, Encyclopedia, let's talk about how to choose a teapot, I'm going to sell it to my father-in-law!"
Seeing that the audience was discussing very lively, Xia Jie didn't hide it, picked up a teapot, pointed at the camera, and raised four fingers and said.
"Let's choose a teapot, there are four words for good and bad standards, saying: 'small, shallow, Qi, old'!"
"Oh, it's so particular about buying a teapot, hurry up and talk about it!"
"Tsk, the anchor is really an expert, and the door is clear!"
"The anchor is not only a craftsman, but also a particular person!"
"The so-called 'small' and 'shallow' are for drinking kung fu tea. Tea brewed with large teapots, medium teapots, tea drums and other tea utensils, even if tea leaves worth thousands of gold are used, it cannot be regarded as gongfu tea, and it must be made in a small pot. ”
"As for the so-called 'shallow', it is the smell, shallow can brew the taste, can retain the aroma, and will not store water, so that the tea will not become astringent. ”
Therefore, when making kung fu tea, it is "suitable for small but not large, shallow but not deep". ”
"Oh, I see!"
"OK, I have written down this set of rhetoric, and when I drink tea in the future, I can put a wave of B!"
"Don't speak, there are two words at the back, listen obediently!"
Taking the teapot lid, Xia Jie poured the teapot over on the flat desk next to him, pointed to the bottom and said: "As for the word 'Qi', it is 'Sanshan Qi', which is an important symbol for evaluating the quality of teapots in ancient times. ”
"The so-called 'three mountains' are the dripping spout, the spout, and the handle of the pot. Of course, there are some teapots with unique shapes, we can't use this to measure, just like the flying pot, if you look at it according to this, it won't be properly placed!"
"Finally, the word 'old' is actually the essence of the teapot, but it is not that some laymen say anything about the tea dirt in the teapot. It should be the history and age of the teapot, which is the same as the antique. ”
"There is one thing to say, don't blow it or black, it's a bit interesting to watch Dajie's live broadcast, not only can you see the traditional skills left by your ancestors, but you can also learn knowledge!"
"Just to the anchor's expert explanation, I must give you a like, a reward, and a turn today!"
"Okay, the teapot has been successfully completed, let's go make a pot of tea first, taste a taste, and we'll see you later!"
Carefully put away the teapot and closed the door of the brick factory, Xia Jie rode the little electric donkey and went straight to the old man's house.
"Hey, craftsman, don't go, the teapot last time was not for sale, and this teapot can always be sold!"
"Yes, yes, four teapots, you can't use them, take one out, open bidding, the highest price wins!"
"I'll give a thousand!"
"There is also a yarn, and the anchors are flashing!"
In the live broadcast room, everyone was stunned.
This craftsman, just go, is really willful!
"Grandpa, I'm still busy!"
When he entered the door and saw that the old man was working hard, Xia Jie shouted.
"Alas, Xiaojie is here, go, there is a melon I just bought in the house, go cut it and eat it." ”
Xia Changjiang put down the chisel in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile.
"No, grandpa, I just made a couple of teapots and I'll give you one. ”
Xia Jie said as he took out the wooden box and took out a bulging teapot from it.
The old man is not so particular about drinking tea, and the small pot is fine, so Xia Jie made him a round melon-shaped pot, as for the tea bowl, there is no need at all.
"Oh, you did it yourself? ”
The old man couldn't help but say curiously.
"Hmm. ”
Xia Jie nodded and handed the teapot over.
"Yes, yes, that's good. ”
The old man played with it and nodded again and again.
It seems that his grandson is really good at it, and he can even make a teapot.
"Grandpa, I'll take it and make you a pot of tea. ”
"Okay, okay, make a pot!"
Xia Changjiang nodded.
Although the old man likes to drink tea, he is not particular, as long as it is tea, it is the taste.
Because it was a new pot, Xia Jie first washed it with hot water a few times, then brewed a small pot, and then rinsed it with tea soup, which was considered to be an open pot.
Then he re-brewed a pot and handed it to the old man.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that we have drunk a big bowl of tea for a lifetime, and we will pay attention to it when we come!"
Holding the teapot, the old man said happily.
"Brother Xia, what are you paying attention to?"
At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the door, and the old village chief Liu Changgen came to the door.
"Hehe, old village chief, it was Xiaojie who made me a teapot and let me make tea to drink, you say, isn't this exquisite?"
Xia Changjiang raised the teapot in his hand and said a little ostentatiously.
"Old village chief, come, smoke a cigarette!"
Seeing that it was Liu Changgen coming over, Xia Jie took out Great China and enthusiastically handed it over.
"Well, Brother Xia, the so-called blue is better than blue, Xiaojie's craftsmanship has nothing to say, not only can he carve roots, but now porcelain is also done so well, it's not simple!"
Taking the cigarette, Liu Changgen looked at the teapot and was also full of praise.
"Hey, old village chief, just play casually, use it at home, it's no big deal!"
Xia Jie waved his hand and said.
"Xiaojie, don't be modest, you can be regarded as doing it casually, then everyone else has to drink the northwest wind!"
Liu Changgen smiled, followed up and asked, "Xiaojie, the old village chief has a matter and wants to ask you for a favor, is it okay?"
"Village chief, what's the matter, just say it. ”
Xia Jie said disapprerovingly.
"Then I'm going to say pull?"
Liu Changgen smacked his lips, a little hesitant.
"Hey, I said Brother Changgen, don't be sluggish, just say it!"
Xia Changjiang is also a straightforward person, and he urged.
Liu Changgen took a deep breath of cigarette, turned his eyes on Xia Jie, and said slowly.
