Chapter 193: Eccentricity

After nearly two months of restoration, the secret color porcelain four-petal flowermouth bowl finally restored its original appearance in Wei Xiaoqiao's repeated exploration and improvement.

At this time, the museum's restoration room was full of people standing around the workbench, and all eyes fell on the flower-mouth bowl that the curator was carefully holding in his hand.

"The utensils are ingenious, the repair is seamless, and it is beautiful!" Director Yu probably couldn't say anything else except for the beautiful words, and looked back at Lao Wei, who was sitting in a wheelchair next to him: "Don't always praise me, you also praise your daughter, praise the child more, my grandson was only two months old, willing to smile at me, I have praised him to the sky!"

"Curator, you don't leave your grandson in three sentences, do you want Mr. Wei to praise Teacher Xiao Wei for being good, or praise your grandson!" someone joked next to him.

Everyone was laughing, but Lao Wei looked at the bowl intently, not only with joy in his eyes, but also a trace of ...... Craving.

Wei Xiaoqiao was sitting in front of the computer sorting out the pictures, and when he inadvertently looked up, he noticed Lao Wei's expression.

Because of the stroke, he fell into the problem of hand tremor, and in the face of the porcelain that he had liked all his life, Lao Wei didn't dare to pick it up easily, that feeling was ...... It's like being afraid that you will accidentally miss and hurt your beloved child.

Taking advantage of the fact that Curator Yu put down the bowl at this moment, Wei Xiaoqiao stood up, held the bowl in the palm of his hand, and brought it to Lao Wei: "Dad, for so many years, I have developed dependence, you can give me the last pass!"

"I ...... See, good, good!" Old Wei looked at Wei Xiaoqiao and said with relief.

Wei Xiaoqiao nodded at Lao Wei, and then gently turned the bowl, so that Lao Wei could see more clearly from all angles.

Everyone was watching the interaction between the father and daughter, and Director Yu was full of emotion, and turned his head to the people around him: "Traditional Chinese craftsmen, no matter what line they do, in the final analysis, they pay attention to a 'heart' - to do things with their hearts, to be a person with their hearts, with this spirit of doing things for people, they have devoted themselves to their own business from generation to generation, and carry forward their skills with the sincerity of excellence, girls and boys, I hope you can experience these!"

"I remember some time ago, in order to glaze, Mr. Xiao Wei didn't know how many times she adjusted the color, how many layers of glaze she brushed, and even which layer had particles, she had to restore it, and then I felt that she couldn't see the flaws at all, she was not satisfied, holding the flower bowl, standing on the balcony every day, looking at the light, and muttering in her mouth, this is not right, that is not right," Yan Ying said on the side: "Just for this, I admire Teacher Xiao Wei to death!"

"Admire, admire, why mention 'death'?" Wei Xiaoqiao lifted the bowl and explained to everyone: "The original porcelain of this bowl, after years of erosion, the color and gloss will be very different from the new glaze, the success or failure of commercial restoration, to a large extent, lies in the old, this is often said to repair the old as the old, so that the old and the new are integrated, it is not easy to do this, but once it is done, it will be very fulfilling!"

Yan Ying looked at Wei Xiaoqiao at the moment, and her eyes were almost adoring.

"I recommend Xiao Qiao to Cixi, just because I believe that she will be able to complete the task, this kid never disappoints, this time it is ahead of my expected completion time, when can there be a few more smart and motivated Wei Xiaoqiao, why worry that our ancestors' unique skills can't be passed on!"

Speaking of this, Director Yu went to ask Wei Xiaoqiao again: "These young people have been following you for a while, there are always one or two that catch your eye, you can pick them!"

Laughing at the curator's "old treacherous slippery", Wei Xiaoqiao threw the ball back again: "Leader, you can make me offend, I have to really listen to you now, pick two out, and the others must be muttering in their hearts, we still don't fall into Wei Xiaoqiao's eyes, do you say I don't pick, or don't pick?"

"Teacher Xiao Wei, accept me as an apprentice!" Yan Ying shouted first, with a pious face.

Wei Deping, who accompanied Lao Wei over, came out from behind the wheelchair: "These little young people, I look at them with sincerity, but through the bottom, it's not easy to be an apprentice of Yupinxuan, I still have the surname Wei, and I also wanted to enter the teacher back then, but my uncle didn't have enough qualifications, so he didn't sing directly!"

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Wei Deping.

"Don't scare you, the rules of Yupinxuan, before entering the master's door, I got to work in the kiln factory below for two years, my eldest brother just accepted one not long ago, and his legs and feet are not good, so he will still be distributed, and he will be treated equally!"

Curator Yu listened curiously: "Old Wei." When are you accepting apprentices again?"

Lao Wei smiled: "No...... How long does it take for a child to be qualified...... Not bad. ”

Wei Xiaoqiao simply teased Lao Wei: "Dad, don't take you like this, the apprentice hasn't officially entered the door yet, you praise it, I have been learning from you for so long, and I have only got a few likes, this is eccentric, and it is too much!"

"It's rare, Lao Wei, there is a chance to turn around, let me take a look at your apprentice, put the words ahead, our museum can book people!" Director Yu made it clear that he wanted to get close to the water and get the moon first.

Lao Wei said cautiously: "You know...... Several apprentices ...... If you don't do it, you have to look at the child...... Myself. ”

"Be an apprentice...... Do you really want to work in the kiln factory for two years?"

Wei Deping looked at her: "The kiln factory is in the middle of nowhere, and the work is very hard, and a little girl like you is even more inappropriate." ”

"No, isn't Teacher Xiao Wei also a little girl?" Yan Ying reacted quite quickly.

She went to the kiln factory at the age of four, and after she went to school, she lived there every winter and summer vacation. When Wei Deping said this, he shook his head and muttered, "No, I am reluctant to let my son suffer this!"

"Xiaobao can't do it, I've seen it, this kid only likes to study, and he has a little cleanliness fetish, and he can't play with mud!" Wei Xiaoqiao replied, complaining about Lao Wei: "My dad is really ruthless, I was only a few years old at the time, and I soaked in porcelain." ”

Lao Wei smiled and defended: "Me too...... Playing small ...... Thrown into the kiln, your grandfather...... Like you, let ...... You go over!"

Here, Curator Yu had already put the Huakou bowl into the box and said: "Early tomorrow morning, I will personally send it to Cixi, Xiao Qiao, take advantage of this vacancy, you still have to be busy for a few days, Ouyang Yuqing and their side have new data, you can discuss it carefully, and as soon as the project funds are in place, you will be able to move immediately." ”

Wei Xiaoqiao nodded, and joked with Lao Wei again: "Dad, you wait, let's burn this celadon, I will pretend to be a private servant, and I will burn a teapot for you for the first share." ”

"Fake public and private?Xiao Qiao, say this in front of me?" Director Yu laughed.

Xiao Wu came in from outside, looked left and right, and said, "It's lively enough, you can hear laughter in the corridor." ”

"Xiao Wu, I came just in time, I will notify the celadon project team of the next meeting, starting tomorrow morning, a working meeting will be held in Xiaohong Building, which will be presided over by Deputy Team Leader Wei to discuss the next work plan. Curator Yu turned his head and ordered.

"Ouch, Deputy Team Leader Wei!" Wei Xiaoqiao laughed at himself and touched a handful of cold sweat on his forehead that didn't exist.

"Got it," Xiao Wu was amused by Wei Xiaoqiao, and after laughing for a while, he said to the curator: "The results of the first round of elimination of the design competition jury are out, curator, waiting for you to sign and confirm over there!"

"Xiao Qiao, it's just a deputy team leader, are you still tired?How many hats do you wear on my head, have I ever shouted tired?" Director Yu nodded Wei Xiaoqiao with his hand, and turned his head to look at Lao Wei: "Since you are here today, if you are not in a hurry to go back, Lao Wei, let's take a look at this year's entries, borrow your eyes, help me pick a few with potential?"

"Of course...... I want to go!" Lao Wei happily agreed, obviously with a lot of interest.

In the conference room on the second floor of the small red building, on a large conference table in the middle of the moment, the works of the Youth Ceramic Design Competition are all placed there, looking at the dazzling array of judges, and the judges are standing together in twos and threes, appreciating the advantages and disadvantages.

Wei Deping pushed Lao Wei's wheelchair and walked in front, Wei Xiaoqiao and Director Yu followed, and they planned to go in quietly, but they didn't expect that as soon as they entered the door, someone turned around.

Teacher Qu immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hands to Lao Wei: "I haven't seen our Master Wei for a long time, looking at the good water on his face, it seems that his body has recovered?"

"Thank you for your concern, the body is ...... It's better, Lao Qu, you're ...... Live to a green old age. Lao Wei smiled and shook hands with the other party, people who are sick like to hear that he has a good face.

After a while, the other judges all came up, and someone saw Wei Xiaoqiao and joked at her: "We have been cooperating for so many years, and suddenly Xiao Qiao is not a judge, everyone is really not used to it, let's say okay, we have to work together next time, and also lower the average age of our jury." ”

Wei Xiaoqiao smiled, he knew what had happened, and he knew what was right and wrong.

"Look...... "After the cold talk with the big guy, Lao Wei was still a little impatient.
