Chapter 1: The Craftsman

Next Chapter

Beijing, March.

"Craftsman, you said that there are so many traditional skills left by me in the five thousand years of Great Huaxia, why do you have to let me start with porcelain first?" In a dilapidated courtyard, Xiao Zhang looked at the clay in front of him and said.

"The name of this system is Craftsman, which is intended to assist the host to carry forward these handicrafts that have been handed down for thousands of years, and the choice to let the host learn porcelain is naturally intended to remind the host not to forget his roots and remember his roots!"

Xiao Zhang nodded, but he also understood the meaning of the craftsman system.

Huaxia, the country of porcelain, Chinese people are born with the ability to appreciate porcelain!

For example, whether the bowl you eat at home is good, whether the pattern is beautiful, whether there are flaws, whether the shape of the bowl is satisfactory, these are the skills that every Chinese person is born with, and do not accept any refutation......

"If you want to talk about porcelain, I also know something, after all, I am a tinkerer, and I have learned some more or less from my teacher over the years, such as the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, Ruguan Ge Junding, and blue and white porcelain, which are all very famous porcelain. Xiao Zhang thought for a while and said.

System: "China has a long history, and each era has its own representative species of porcelain, if the host is ready, please accept the novice task!"

Xiao Zhang nodded hard and said, "Of course I'm ready, Craftsman, thank you for coming, I'm very willing to dedicate my life to the cause of the craftsman!"

"Ding, the novice task is issued, please receive it from the host. ”

Xiao Zhang hurriedly clicked to receive it.

Beginner's Task: Make 100 terracotta figurines.

Reward for completing the task: Tang Sancai's production skills (master).

Looking at the task that appeared in his mind, Xiao Zhang was a little confused.

"Craftsman, aren't you kidding me?" Xiao Zhang asked.

"The system detects that the host is willing to dedicate his life to the cause of the craftsman, so the difficulty of the task is increased by a hundred times, and the corresponding reward is naturally increased by a hundred times. ”

Xiao Zhang's face was suddenly full of bitter melons, what kind of braggadocio is he bragging about with the black technology of the system! Dedicate his life to a yo-yo, do you have to pinch the terracotta warriors and horses in this life?

"So the original task was to make a terracotta figurine, so what was the original reward?" Xiao Zhang said aggrievedly.

"The original reward was a portion of high-quality kaolin. ”

Xiao Zhang sighed, it seems that these two rewards are indeed very different, the master-level Tang Sancai production skills are very precious, Xiao Zhang was originally a junior apprentice in this circle, and naturally knew that those who had such skills were called great country craftsmen.

"Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and the glory still depends on myself, so I'd better pinch the terracotta figurines first!" Xiao Zhang comforted himself and said.

The clay on the ground has been turned into clay by Xiao Zhang, and the hardness and softness are also very moderate, Xiao Zhang suddenly stopped the movements in his hand.

Although this system allows you to make 100 terracotta figurines, it does not have a specified size! If you make them according to the size of the terracotta warriors and horses in your impression, not to mention that you don't have such a large firing tool, you can't make up the simple clay money.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang showed an arrogant smile, let you cheat me, or let me take advantage of it.

I made all these terracotta figurines into villains, so that a hundred pieces would be very simple.

The task is to make pottery figurines by yourself, and I don't say whether they are from the Qin Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, and many of the terracotta figurines unearthed in the Han Dynasty are simple in shape and very small in size.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang began to pick up a large piece of clay and knead it according to the way he remembered.

I have to say that in terms of kneading clay figures, Xiao Zhang has had a talent since he was a child, and when he was a child, Xiao Zhang used urine and yellow mud to stir the clay people and small animals all gave to the neighbor children, everyone liked it very much, and they couldn't wait to sleep with them in their arms every day.

Now this craft is still in use.

Of course, there is still a difference between clay and rhubarb clay.

I have also learned some simple knowledge in this area from my master.

The first step in making terracotta figurines is to shape them, that is, to make the rough tires of the figurines out of clay.

Well, it's a clay man......

Xiao Zhang's hands are very skillful, three times five divided by two, and the overall outline of the clay figure is roughly presented.

This is followed by secondary re-crouting and finishing details.

Xiao Zhang began to dance at the head of the clay man, and soon the head of the clay man showed slender eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upward, Xiao Zhang suddenly felt that this clay figure was pinched very much like himself!

This smile is very arrogant.

The terracotta figurines made by Xiao Zhang are about fifteen centimeters high, and the details of the body and limbs are not too detailed, but they can basically be seen to be the rough tires of the terracotta figurines......

Well, it's just a clay figurine......

Xiao Zhang looked around, and there happened to be an outdoor stove in the yard where the neighbor Uncle Dog usually stewed goose.

Move firewood and light the fire, and Xiao Zhang will ...... the clay figurines It was the terracotta figurines that were put in.

Then it's a quiet wait.

After going out for a walk, Xiao Zhang bought some vegetables at the intersection as lunch and returned to the courtyard he rented.

When I went to the stove, I saw that the fire had been extinguished.

Xiao Zhang pulled for a long time, and burned the black clay figurines from a pile of ashes...... It was the terracotta figurines that came out.

Perfect......

The upper and lower parts of the figurines were bent because they were too soft, and they were hardened and set, and the whole figurines seemed to have a protruding disc around the waist, and the right half of the body seemed to have three ribs removed......

Looking at the left half of the terracotta figurine's body, there is also a lightning pattern......

Well, there are three more ribs on the left half of the body, and the wounds don't coincide......

In addition to the fact that the whole body was blackened by the smoke and fire, the overall effect was quite satisfactory.

"Craftsman, you see the first terracotta figurines come out. Xiao Zhang called out to the system.

"Bad reviews, the host fired can't be called terracotta figurines at all. ”

Xiao Zhang retorted: "How can this not be called terracotta figurines? Although they are a little smaller, you didn't say which dynasty they belonged to? I see that those terracotta figurines unearthed in the Han Dynasty are so big!"

"Is the terracotta figurines fired by the host imitating the Han Dynasty?

Under the system's questioning, Xiao Zhang was still a little speechless.

What style of the Han Dynasty?

"The Western Han Dynasty terracotta figurines are smaller in size, the shape is relatively dull, and the host's terracotta figurines are not rigid, on the contrary, the facial expression is very arrogant, which does not conform to the solemn military feeling of the funeral displayed by the Western Han Dynasty terracotta figurines. The system said with faint disdain.

Xiao Zhang was a little embarrassed.

"The terracotta figurines of the Eastern Han Dynasty are on the market, the shape is smart, the outline lines are beautiful, the host's terracotta figurines are not beautiful, the contours are curved and cracked, dare to ask the host whether the terracotta figurines have failed in surgery?"

Xiao Zhang was very embarrassed.

"The most important thing is that the terracotta figurines unearthed in both the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty have a strong Han Dynasty style, from the costumes of the characters to the facial expressions and movements have significant characteristics, and then look at the host's terracotta figurines style is very similar to the host himself has just been nephrectomy. ”

Xiao Zhang died of embarrassment......
