The pottery of the old Yang family has been passed on to this generation and has no successor, Yang Shuzhen originally planned to teach Zhu Feng, but now Zhu Feng was first imprisoned for buying and selling, and now he is even more focused on the winery, and he has no interest in it.

So when Li Xian proposed to set up a black pottery association and set up a black pottery supporting factory, gather the pottery craftsmen of Bangye and Hailin here, start the black pottery business together, and make packaging for Bangye liquor, Yang Shuzhen was very happy.

During this time, the women of Zhumaotun have been mobilized to work around the liquor. Yang Shuzhen is the only one who is waiting for Lao Zhu's father and son at home, although she doesn't say it, but she is also 10,000 reluctant in her stomach.

Now when I hear that my craft has been taken by Li Xian, and it has grown up, I am very motivated.

After thinking about all the places in Zhumaotun, I felt that it was just right for this association to be placed here by Li Xian - before the bricklayers specially built a kiln behind the house in order to repair the corrugated. The use of the dilapidated bungalows at the back of the house is simply a perfect workshop.

Li Xian has no opinion, it doesn't matter where he is. After discussing with Yang Shuzhen, he immediately called Liu Weihan and proposed that he wanted to engage in a "cultural industry" to enhance the cultural heritage of Bangye Baijiu and launch a plan for high-end liquor.

Regarding Li Xian's request, Liu Weihan naturally has no reason to disagree - not to mention that the county does not need to pay for this matter. It can also drive some people to work, and what is even more rare is that the black pottery craft, a big signboard of the cultural industry, sounds really gratifying.

If you don't pay for it, Liu Weihan naturally has to contribute. Immediately promised Li Xian on the phone, and the recruitment of workers by the Black Pottery Association and the workshop would be returned to the county.

With the support of the county, many things are much easier.

The next day, a large sign engraved with "Bangye County Black Pottery Cultural Association" was sent by the people of the county propaganda department. On the third day, Yang Shuzhen had just led people to clean out the two rows of bungalows. At the county civil affairs bureau, some craftsmen from the labor bureau who got the news rushed over.

There are not many people, just a dozen.

They all have experience in ceramic manufacturing, but they are older, and most of them are older than Yang Shuzhen. A few people kept saying that they were sixty, but Li Xian asked for his ID card and saw that he was a few years younger than Li Daoyun.

Thinking that he wants to produce, how many bottles can he produce a month by relying on this group of elderly ginseng?

He found Yang Shuzhen.

"Auntie, it's not okay to be such a little person. ”

Li Xian's dissatisfaction is also Yang Shuzhen's worry. But the first situation is like this, pottery in the past could not support a family, is a low practical craft. Especially in places like the Northeast, where people live very roughly, and spittoons and urine buckets sell a hundred times more than vases, the craft of making pottery is even more withered.

There's no way around it.

"Auntie, is the craft of black pottery easy to learn?" Seeing Yang Shuzhen's sad face, Li Xian couldn't help asking.

Yang Shuzhen pondered for a while and said: "It's very difficult to say, it is very difficult to say, selecting mud, beating embryos, making pottery, carving, and then firing, which link cannot be regarded as a beginner without a month." If you don't learn a set of crafts in half a year, you can't look at the things you make. When my father taught me, it took more than a year for my father to praise the pottery I burned. I can teach, this craft can be passed on better than anything else, but my aunt is afraid that you will be in a hurry. ”

Hearing this, Li Xian was happy.

"This is a good ......"

……

Li Xian said that it is good to be neat, that is, to follow the process of pottery, special personnel training, the selection of clay process to learn how to choose clay, the pottery process to learn how to make pottery...... The goal is not to train masters, but to build a team that can be put into production quickly as soon as possible.

Yang Shuzhen naturally thinks that this approach is a bit inappropriate, in her opinion, it is difficult to pass on the essence of black pottery craftsmanship by dismantling the entire system of black pottery craftsmanship.

However, in the face of Li Xian's statement that "any craft can be handed down, the most important thing is to make this thing valuable to society", Yang Shuzhen also feels very reasonable.

As a result, the Black Pottery Association commissioned the county labor bureau to publish an advertisement for apprentices.

Taking advantage of the advertisement, Yang Shuzhen and the dozen or so veteran craftsmen set up a stall in the association, and while the apprentices had not yet come up, they began to make pottery half of the discussion and half for self-entertainment.

This kind of liveliness makes the old men in the house very strange, and they go to watch it every day when they have nothing to do. Su Ya, who had taken care of the house in an orderly manner, looked at the black smoke coming out of the kiln behind the house every day, and couldn't bear it, so she had time to go to Yang Shuzhen to see the excitement.

Although Yang Shuzhen has two daughters, she likes Su Ya, a girl who can't speak, but has a delicate mind.

"Girl. Come here. ”

Seeing Su Ya holding a small rag and standing in the courtyard from a distance, Yang Shuzhen wiped her hands full of embryo mud and beckoned to her.

Su Ya pointed to her nose and her eyes widened. Seeing Yang Shuzhen nodding with a smile, she walked over with her head down.

"Girl, do you like it?"

When Su Ya stepped forward, Yang Shuzhen took Su Ya's hand and asked.

Su Ya looked at the black pottery that had become a shape in confusion and smiled.

"This girl, what's so embarrassing?" Seeing the shyness on Su Ya's face, she smiled and said, "If you want to learn, my aunt can teach you." ”

Su Ya's eyes widened, and she hurriedly waved her hand and made a cleaning motion, indicating that she didn't have time.

Yang Shuzhen shook her head helplessly, "I forgot that you still have a job." ”

However, looking at Su Ya's eyes still did not leave the embryonic mud that was spinning leisurely on the turntable, Yang Shujuan still pulled Su Ya's arm, held her hands, and placed them on the embryonic mud.

Feeling the cold and delicate, with a faint fishy smell of embryo mud sliding in the palm of her hand, Su Ya couldn't help but itch and shrunk her neck.

"Itchy?" Yang Shuzhen chuckled: "I was like this when I first learned, but mud is a thing, you will know after a long time of contact, it has a temper." You've got to go with it. Come, relax, spread your palms. ”

Su Ya's eyes widened and she relaxed according to Yang Shujuan's instructions.

The hand was not so hard, and the embryonic mud, which had been crooked, immediately returned to its normal shape.

"Ah," Seeing that the embryo mud gradually took shape, Su Ya happily glanced at Yang Shujuan.

After a lot of effort, under the guidance of Yang Shuzhen, a piece of embryo that had become a bottle was presented in front of Su Ya.

It's not perfect, but the shape is ok. Yang Shuzhen picked up the carving knife, simply sketched a few lines on it, and then cut the embryo with a fishing line and sent it to the kiln.

Seeing the black bottle with patches of matte color in the sun, Su Ya clapped her hands and gave Yang Shuzhen a thumbs up.

"Beautiful, right?" Yang Shuzhen smiled and wrapped the still hot bottle with a newspaper, "My father said that the previous black pottery was more beautiful than this, some were as black as a mirror, some were black and blue, and there could also be peacock feather patterns, and some were disrespectful to any treatment, and they were baked with oracle bone lines, but now what has been handed down is this pure black one." Well, you made this yourself, so I'll give it to you. ”

Looking at the empty courtyard, Yang Shuzhen sighed: "This announcement has been made, and there are not many young people coming, if you have time, come and take a walk." Even if you don't have to eat with this, you can learn the craft of the master. ”

Suya nodded.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the gate of the association's compound.

"President Yang, which is President Yang?

The people in the courtyard looked back......

Boy

I'm afraid that there are no less than 100 people, led by a middle-aged man who looks like a leader, and walked in!
