Chapter 511: Big Order
Although it is not clear what the origin of the group of poplars is, since it was brought by his teacher to visit, of course he has to serve well. First comforted the wavering employees with a good voice, and then returned to Hu Yang and others to make an introduction.
"The whole production process, in fact, is not difficult, it is nothing more than a few steps, but if you want to make it beautiful, it depends on your craftsmanship.
You see, this is the purple clay I use in my workshop. However, I am a small business, and I don't dare to use precious raw materials, frankly speaking, this is the most ordinary purple sand mud. The owner was honest.
Hu Yang nodded: "Well, I know, the most expensive is azure mud, which is the best in the mud, and it is relatively rare." ”
Earlier, Populus euphratica also said that there are many kinds of purple sand mud.
Perhaps, some people don't know very well, purple sand mud looks like a lump of mud, but in the world, it is an ore, called purple sand mine. It's just that the texture of this ore is a bit peculiar.
Purple sand mud is roughly divided into four types: purple mud, green mud, red mud, and satin mud.
And in the purple mud, there are also several kinds, among which there is the azure mud mentioned by Populus euphratica just now, which is the most valuable raw material for making pots. In addition, there are bottom groove green, clear cement, etc.
The bottom groove is green, because it is usually at the bottom of the purple mud layer, so the name is old and tender, and the mineral material is generally purple-brown dense block, with blue-green bean-spot, and it is purple-red after firing.
Clear cement, generally purple-brown dense block, with mica fragments, with light green spots and markings on the ore, purple-brown-red after firing, purple-black, dark cyan at high temperature, generally refers to the purple mud made of a single ore only with stone yellow.
As the saying goes: "The purple sand in the world comes out of Yixing", and the purple sand pot is most famous for the Yixing purple sand pot. It has unique material, exquisite craftsmanship, simple and childish shape, and rich in rich cultural connotation and elegant charm in decoration, so it is known as the wonder in the pottery and the treasure of the country.
The charm of purple sand lies in the transformation from ore to artwork, and the traditional handmade pot is a feast of exquisite skills. The success of a purple sand handicraft requires ten to dozens of complex molding processes, and it requires the skill of the purple sand craftsman to strive for perfection and meticulous intentions.
In this small workshop, the process is actually simplified, and the quality of the products produced is naturally not very high.
Seeing that Hu Yang still knew about Azure Mud, the middle-aged man understood that this young man had at least done his homework.
"You kid, don't treat Xiaohu as a layman, people's understanding of purple clay pots is estimated to be much better than yours. Teacher Ren couldn't help but remind his students.
This made the middle-aged owner unhappy, and he felt that he was being looked down upon by the teacher. This is also a traditional craft, and the handicraft of making this pot has been passed down to the fifth generation in his family, although they are not as good as the next generation.
However, you say that a young man knows more about purple clay pots than him, a descendant of pot making, then he is a bit contemptible, right?
"What's the matter? Your family's ancestral craftsmanship still has some essence in your hands, and you should know it best. Now, you can only make the most ordinary purple clay pot, do you think you are very good?" Teacher Ren taught him unceremoniously.
Yes, one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a teacher.
Even if he is unhappy, the middle-aged owner still has to hold it in his heart, but he is a little aggrieved!
Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room laughed again: "Your teacher, or your teacher!"
"Haha! What a miserable boss, the employees don't scold, and the teachers don't dare to scold!"
"Alas, the teacher is the most terrible creature to everyone at any time. I watched a video before, the teacher wore a mask to wake up the students who were sleeping in class, and the students didn't respond, but the teacher took off the mask and was immediately frightened. ”
"If it were a beautiful teacher, you wouldn't say that. ”
My former English teacher was also beautiful, but she caught me every day to endorse books, and every time I dreamed of her, I would be scared to wake up. ”
Indeed, no matter how beautiful your teacher is, you will not feel her tenderness. ”
......
When the audience in the live broadcast room said those interesting things about reading, Hu Yang said to the middle-aged owner: "Big brother, I want to place an order with you, but what I want is a high-quality purple clay pot, do you dare to take it?"
Well?
The owner was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously nodded: "Yes, what do you want? Can you be specific? I can even get azure mud, I may not have the ability to do it too well, but I know people, as long as I can afford the price, I will help you talk about it, and let him help make one." ”
He thought that one of the orders that Hu Yang said was a purple clay pot.
He could see that this young man should be rich. Then, the ordinary purple clay pot must not be looked down upon, so he said so.
Andy, Zhong Wenqiu and others, and even the audience in the live broadcast room reacted: Brother Hu is going to bring goods again?
Even Teacher Ren was familiar with Brother Hu's routine, so he hurriedly kicked his student: "Xiaohu's order is not small, you can think of it yourself." ”
What he admires the most is Populus euphratica's attitude of supporting traditional handicrafts, and almost anyone who encounters such difficulties will vigorously support and purchase a large number of them as a welfare for fans.
For those owners of traditional handicrafts, it is a big order, and you can live for a year or two with a bite.
The owner was still a little confused: "Isn't it small?"
Hu Yang smiled: "I don't need very precious raw materials to make it, just use your here, but the craftsmanship must be reasonable, at least at this level." ”
As he spoke, Hu Yang picked out one of the finished products he had here.
The owner saw that he only had two workers here to make this quality, and it took a lot of time, and the most important thing was the carving on it, which ordinary people couldn't make.
"In this case, it may be a little more expensive, the cost plus labor, and a little profit, it takes three hundred and fifty yuan to do it, is it okay?" This is already for the sake of his teacher's face, try to keep the price down.
Hu Yang nodded: "I can give you 500 yuan, but you have to do everything for me to meet the standard, can you do it? If you can, I will buy 500 pieces." ”
"Okay, huh, how many, five hundred?" the owner's eyes widened.
Here, his annual output is more than 1,000 yuan! And it's still an ordinary product. Hu Yang directly sent him an order for half a year, how could he not be surprised?
Moreover, if he wants the best kind, he gives 500 yuan to make a purple clay pot, and his profit can get about 200, which is a big business.
As a result, the other workers in the workshop looked over in amazement.
Five hundred, one for five hundred yuan, the total price is 250,000!
I have to say that his workshop is actually not very profitable, and it is not as good as a store with a better business. In the past, he could earn about 100,000 yuan a year after deducting all other costs here, even if he could.
"Yes, yes, but I'm going to give them away, so you'll have to pay for the postage. Moreover, it has to be done within three months, dare you take it?"
At this time, Andy was already engaged in a lottery activity, because the platform can only set up a maximum of 100 places at a time, so the score comes five times.
Everyone was very enthusiastic, knowing that even if they drew it, the purple clay pot would not be delivered to them for a while, but it was free, and they were willing to wait!
You know, this purple clay pot is also handmade, and the quality is not bad, the cost of materials, labor and other costs are almost 300 yuan, and the purchase price of Brother Hu is 500 yuan, isn't this money?
Usually, everyone grabs a few pennies of red envelopes, not to mention items worth 500 yuan.
Even if you don't drink tea, don't you have anyone around you who drinks tea?
As a result, the number of followers has risen again.
The middle-aged owner is not a fool, and nodded without hesitation: "No problem! We can overcome all difficulties within three months, and we will work overtime to help you do it." ”
At this time, he was very grateful to his teacher for bringing such a big customer to him.
