Chapter 14: Three Pots of Tea
Xiao Zhang's mood at this time was a little mixed, and he couldn't say that he was comfortable or sad.
It's sad that he has followed Tang Qingchuan for two years, in fact, he is a miscellaneous worker, but Xiao Zhang understands that he is originally a miscellaneous worker, and it is limited to the repair of cultural relics, and the teacher Tang Qingchuan is really powerful in the firing of Ru porcelain and jade carving, but he knows nothing.
If it weren't for some amazing performances of myself yesterday, even if I stepped into this circle with half a foot, it might be difficult to enter Tang Qingchuan's world in this life.
Of course, Xiao Zhang is also a little comfortable, and what is comfortable is that he still came in at this moment after all, and Tang Qingchuan can tell himself that these have proved that he has accepted or recognized himself.
Maybe it's not impossible that you can really become a true disciple of the teacher.
The teacher laughed, the disciple has been influenced by the teacher for so long, so he can't help but be interested in these things, so he thinks about it himself. Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
"It's not easy, it's difficult for young people nowadays to do this, it's not easy to really take the initiative to study by yourself, you're still excellent, if you want to know anything in the future, just ask me, don't be foolish yourself." Tang Qingchuan took another sip of tea.
After these few sips, the teapot was basically empty, Xiao Zhangyi reached out to take the teapot, and went to fill it with water.
"Xiao Zhang. ”
"The disciple is here. Xiao Zhang handed over the teapot and said.
"Let me ask you, what are the common glaze colors of Ru porcelain?" Tang Qingchuan's sudden question made Xiao Zhang stunned.
What's going on, and why did you suddenly take the exam for me?
Fortunately, Xiao Zhang had obtained the basic appreciation skills of Ru porcelain before, and he still had this knowledge in his mind.
"Teacher Hui, Ru porcelain is famous for the celadon fired in the Ru kiln, with glaze colors such as azure, sky blue, bean green, moon white, etc., and of course, there are rare and beautiful glaze colors such as pink and cui. Xiao Zhang replied honestly.
Tang Qingchuan nodded, took a sip of tea, and continued: "What are the raw materials for firing Ru porcelain?"
Xiao Zhang pondered for a moment, this question is a bit broad.
"Teacher Hui, under normal circumstances, quartz, black feldspar, yellow feldspar, high territory, clay, calcite, dolomite, plant ash, etc. are all raw materials, after processing to form mud and glaze, after picking, rinsing, crushing, grinding, stale and other processes can be used to shape the production of Ru porcelain. Xiao Zhang's answer was quite decent.
Tang Qingchuan nodded again, and secretly said that this kid's basic skills are not bad.
He took a sip of tea and asked, "Then let me ask you again, what is the difference between azure glaze and azure glaze?"
This question is a bit of an overreach.
Tang Qingchuan really wanted to try what the limit of his cheap apprentice was.
The basic knowledge that Xiao Zhang can master is basically here, all of them have said the basic appreciation knowledge of Ru porcelain, Xiao Zhang can also distinguish between azure glaze and sky blue glaze, up to the moon white glaze, if it is deeper, Xiao Zhang's memory is gone......
"Back to the teacher's words, the azure glaze characteristics of Ru porcelain are obvious, green as the sky, the face is like jade, the cicada wing pattern, the morning star is rare, the agate is glazed, elegant and quiet, warm and simple, smooth and delicate, like beautiful jade, and the sky blue glaze disciples do not know much, the color is like rain over the sky and clear clouds**, the shape is dignified and generous, there is a corresponding luster of blue and blue, and the glaze juice is moist, which is the characteristics of azure glaze and sky blue glaze. Xiao Zhang's speech had slowed down.
"Oh, what about the white glaze of the moon?" Tang Qingchuan continued to take a sip of tea, seeing that the teapot was empty again.
"This moon is white glaze, the glaze juice is as warm as jade, and it is like fat. Xiao Zhang summed it up in all ten words.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, one last question. Tang Qingchuan said with a smile.
Xiao Zhang saw that Tang Qingchuan's questions were getting more and more difficult one by one, and he really couldn't resist it when he mentioned it.
When will you get the master appreciation of Ru porcelain in the system?
Xiao Zhang cautiously prepared to listen to Tang Qingchuan's question.
Tang Qingchuan said lightly: "Fill this tea for me first." ”
Xiao Zhang hurriedly took the kettle, slowly poured the tea, and handed it to Tang Qingchuan.
Tang Qingchuan took the teapot, held it carefully in his hand, and then took a shallow sip and said, "I drank the three pots of tea you poured today, and I will ask you one last question." ”
After a pause, Tang Qingchuan smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang, are you willing to learn how to make Ru porcelain with me?"
Xiao Zhang was stunned.
What did Tang Qingchuan say?
Shouldn't you ask another difficult question? For example, ask how to control the temperature of the kiln, how many degrees are appropriate, or the thickness of the glaze and the later opening, these are all questions that Xiao Zhang will definitely not be able to answer.
"What??, what do you say?" Tang Qingchuan was stunned when he saw Xiao Zhang, and immediately said with a smile.
"Ah, teacher, you said you want to teach me how to burn Ru porcelain?" Xiao Zhang was sure he had heard correctly.
"Of course, I'm also old, so I have to find an inheritor to pass on this skill. Tang Qingchuan nodded.
"Of course I'm willing, teacher, I'm so willing, teacher, you are the master of Ru porcelain, everyone respects you as the Qingbai Holy Hand, and it is my wish to be able to learn the firing of Ru porcelain with the teacher. "Xiao Zhangle is broken.
Although the system can quickly instill its own abilities and knowledge in this area, it is important to have a guide as a key guide at all times.
And he now has entry-level Ru porcelain making skills in his mind, although the system says that it is sealed, but Xiao Zhang clearly feels that he can recall a lot of introductory knowledge now, and even open his mouth to come.
When the system unlocks master-level skills for yourself, it is better to learn from the teacher in a down-to-earth manner, and you can only say that you are constantly polishing, learning in many aspects, and striving for excellence.
"Okay, you have been with me for two years, I see the character in my eyes, our industry has rules that have been passed down since ancient times, to be an apprentice must first learn for three years, what you learn is to be a man, good character, in order to learn technology, otherwise it will only be used in the crooked way, your character is naturally no problem, so now accept you as a closed disciple, I can rest assured." Tang Qingchuan recalled the bits and pieces of Xiao Zhang's apprenticeship with him in the past two years, which was indeed very good.
I have never complained, and I have worked steadfastly.
"After what I just observed, your understanding is also very good, you have a lot of knowledge in this area of Ru porcelain, you are self-taught, and it is considered a beginner's thing without me to teach, for the teacher does not seek anything else, I only hope that you can become a pure craftsman, in order to inherit my traditional Chinese skills and strive for it. Tang Qingchuan said with a serious face.
Xiao Zhang nodded hurriedly, Tang Qingchuan's words Xiao Zhang naturally took it to heart.
Maybe Xiao Zhang can choose to enter this industry, that is, he is moved by the spirit of these craftsmen of the older generation.
No matter how these old craftsmen are, but they treat their craft, their faces are full of pride, arrogance and arrogance.
The eternal pride of the old craftsmen.
