"Master, are you in a hurry? Why don't you wait a while? I'll leave after talking, I have to go to Qingyun Ceramics Factory, and finally I have to go back to the foot of Jiulong Mountain." Xu Fang handed over a ticket of one hundred.

The driver took the money and kept calculating in his heart, and this trip would cost more than 200, which was better than walking around the city by himself. smiled and said, "Little brother, it's okay to wait, it can't be too long." ”

"Don't worry, it won't be delayed for too long, if it's really delayed, I'll make up for it for you. ”

"Hurry, you are busy first, I will wait for you here. The driver lay comfortably in the seat and played with his mobile phone.

Xu Fang walked into the Zhujia Ceramics store, and heard an honest voice coming: "Who could have known that the price of green onions would rise so quickly, besides, who is so lacking in heart and eyes, and planting green onions well?"

Xu Fang looked at it and saw a short and strong man, sitting on a chair sulking.

And next to him, a five-year-old and three-coarse girl, quite unforgiving, crossed her waist and pointed at the man and scolded: "Yo, you have a long ability?

Xu Fang was also a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and signaled that someone was coming.

"Shut up!" someone entered the door, and the man's face was a little unbearable, and he snorted angrily.

"What a bird, a bunch of broken bowls and plates, still counting on this fortune. The girl also saw Xu Fang, there were outsiders present, she was a little arrogant, but this mouth was still so broken.

Describing what his man sells as broken dishes and broken bowls, Xu Fang can be regarded as an eye-opener.

When a man is looking for a daughter-in-law, he doesn't ask for help, but he can't cheat a man like this, right?

The man didn't want to deal with his mother-in-law, so he forced a smile and greeted: "Little brother, what do you buy?"

"I'll take a look first. ”

"Okay, what do you want to say, you can take it and look at it, but you don't know the ceramics, don't bump into it. The man grinned and reminded.

"Okay. Xu Fang nodded, and looked into the room, there were four shelves, most of which were stacked with bowls, plates, and casseroles.

Take out a casserole and put it in your hand, the weight is moderate, touch the bowl around, it is more delicate and smooth, the texture is uniform, and the color is pure, indicating that the materials are relatively sufficient, and the clay selected is also very good. And the bottom of the bowl has a frosted feel, which can increase the resistance and prevent the bowl from sliding to the bottom of the table. A fired bowl, if you want to make the bottom of the bowl with this texture, you need to sandpaper it.

In general, some people do not do this step in order to save trouble. With this detail alone, Xu Fang's good impression of this ceramic shop has increased a few points.

An insignificant casserole, Xu Fang deduced that the owner who fired it was very good at firing porcelain.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Fang landed his gaze on the shelf in the corner again, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

This shelf is no longer an ordinary household utensils, but some ornaments. For example, vases, ceramic ornaments, etc., the number is not much, and the shelves are full of up to 20 pieces.

"Boss, I'll take a look at this. Xu Fang pointed to the shelf.

"Well, just look at it, just don't break it. Zhu Yong didn't care.

Xu Fang picked up a vase, soft and delicate in his hand, and even if it was not heavy in his hand, it felt very weighty. Pick it up and face the light, there is a little bit of light transmission inside. If you look closely, there is a little place at the bottom of the bottle, there will be knife marks that have been modified by the knife, but it is very slight and does not affect the appearance at all.

The outside is painted, painting a few clusters of orchids, and with the verses of the collected orchids, it looks very meaningful. Carefully touched with your hands, soft, and completely painted on it. Xu Fang knew that this process was drawn using painting techniques and then fired at a high temperature of more than 1,300 degrees. It looks lifelike and lively.

Nowadays, some porcelain fired with machine grouting technology, the outer patterns are printed by computers, and then directly pasted on, which is the same, dull and twilight, and has almost no collection value.

Although Zhu Yong was in front of his daughter-in-law, he was very clear about the technique of porcelain burning, and when he saw Xu Fang pick it up and look at it, he grinned: "Little brother, this is all made by hand." ”

"Big brother's craftsmanship is good, how much does this vase cost?" Xu Fang asked, pointing to the vase in his hand.

"This sells for 100, and if you want to buy it, you will be given a minimum of 90. Zhu Yong said with a loud voice.

Xu Fang's heart moved, these handmade porcelains are only sold for 90 percent when they are made of this quality! And the 'ceramic masters' who have been hyped outside make such vases, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

However, with an honest farmer like Zhu Yong, in addition to mastering the exquisite porcelain burning skills, where does he know how to hype or something?

sighed and put the vase back, and Zhu Yong was a little disappointed in his eyes.

Xu Fang picked up another ceramic ornament, which was a beckoning cat. It has a lot of weight in the hand, and it is handmade.

The painted lines on the outside are soft and natural, flexible and changeable, especially a pair of cat's eyes, very aura, Xu Fang asked again: "How much is this?"

"It's going to be a little more expensive, one hundred and two. Zhu Yong said embarrassedly: "Little brother, this price is actually not expensive, it is very troublesome to make it by hand, and the painting on the outside has been painted all day." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yong wanted to sell something, Xu Fang smiled slightly. The other porcelains on this shelf, each of them are of good quality, Xu Fang didn't look at it much, and asked, "My name is Xu Fang, what do you call the eldest brother?"

"My name is Zhu Yong. ”

Zhu Yong? Xu Fang smiled dumbly, look at the grandson you were trained by your mother-in-law just now, how can you have anything to do with "Yong"?

However, Xu Fang was not convenient to ask about other people's family affairs, and said, "Brother Zhu, are these all fired by you?"

"It's not all, the ones in the lower row were made by my father. Zhu Yong pointed to the porcelain at the bottom.

Xu Fang glanced at the ornaments, the patterns on them were also lifelike, and he sighed in his heart, the father and son were both good craftsmen, and asked, "Is this all you have at home, are there any other fired porcelain?"

"No, not many people buy it, that's all for now. Zhu Yong shook his head, glaring at his mother-in-law with his eyes, it is estimated that he was broken by this girl.

"Can it still be fired?" Xu Fang asked.

"If anyone buys it, it will be, but it's no fun now. Seeing that Xu Fang kept asking other idle questions, Zhu Yong thought that Xu Fang was here to chat.

Xu Fang knew it in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, you have loaded all these porcelains for me, I want them all, you can tell how much it is." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yong thought he had misheard, and looked at Xu Fang in a daze.

"It's all about it. Xu Fang said with a smile.

"What are you doing in a daze, I didn't hear everyone want it!" Zhu Yong's mother-in-law reprimanded with a sharp voice.

Zhu Yong was incredulous for a while, and said: "There are nineteen pieces here, and one piece will cost more than 1,800 yuan." ”

Xu Fang took out his wallet, took out nineteen hundred sheets and put them on the table, and said with a gentle smile: "This is one thousand nine, Brother Zhu, do you have a box here, help me load it, put it strongly, otherwise it will be broken in the car." Don't look for more money, just use it as a packaging fee. ”

"Ah, I really want it!" The girl screamed in surprise, picked up the money on the table and counted it twice, her face suddenly bloomed with joy, and then she turned her head and said: "One thousand nine, Lao Zhu, hurry up and put a few more layers of bubble cushions for the young man, and see if I don't cut you!"

Then he stretched out his thumb to Xu Fang, and kept praising him: "The young man is generous, and his background is not ordinary." ”

Zhu Yong also reacted at this moment, his eyes were a little excited: "Okay, little brother, you wait, I will definitely wrap it for you." ”

These porcelains are large and small, one box contains six more pieces, less than two, and it takes four boxes to pack these porcelain.

The bottom of the box is padded with three layers of bubble pads, and between each porcelain, the bubble pads are wrapped three times, and the top is covered with three layers of bubble pads, and then the box is sealed. As long as it is not an accident such as falling off a cliff, it must be no problem.

"Do you have a car? I'll help you move it." Zhu Yong asked.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhu, I still need a few pieces of porcelain, see if you can help me burn some more." "The porcelain kiln in Yuehai Village has not yet been built, and Xu Fang does not know the market for handmade porcelain, so Xu Fang plans not to mention recruiting people first, but to prepare a sufficient number of handmade porcelain, and then put it in the store to see the purchasing power of tourists.

"Do you want to?" Zhu Yong was very excited, and his voice was a little distorted: "If you want something, just say it, I'll do my best to make it for you." ”

"It's also some porcelain, mainly ornaments or vases, which have a good meaning. For example, step by step, Wishing you prosperity, family happiness, or representing some feelings, such as self-confidence, purity, elegance, purity, can you understand what I said?" Xu Fang glanced at Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yong gave an example: "For example, if I make a teapot, the painting on the outside highlights the artistic conception of 'indifferent', isn't this the reason?"

Xu Fang's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Zhu Yong's comprehension ability to be so high, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's the reason, how many pieces can you do in a month?"

Zhu Yong rubbed his hands and said, "I still have a casserole business here, and I can't do much in a month." ”

Zhu Yong's mother-in-law on the side, but she was a human spirit in the eyes of money, and when she heard her husband say this, she immediately dragged him aside and said with a smile: "Handsome guy, how many do you want to say, his father is also a good hand at burning porcelain, and the two of them are busy together, and they will definitely be able to burn enough for you." ”

"Yes, my dad can still make some of them. Zhu Yong also reacted, and for the first time in his life, he felt that his mother-in-law was still a little useful.

"Can twenty pieces be fired?" asked Xu Fang.

"Well, this can definitely be done!" It is more troublesome to burn porcelain, but it is not very difficult to do it skillfully.

Xu Fang looked at his wallet, took out three thousand yuan from it and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "You fire it first, the size and shape of the porcelain, and you can make it when you pick it up." The 3,000 yuan is just a deposit, not the final number, I will pick up the goods in a month, I will burn as much as I want, and I will make up for you if the money is not enough. Don't be afraid that I can't pay, 12,000 is enough. There is one point, quality is the key, ugly words are ahead, what is to be fired is defective, I don't want it. ”

Zhu Yong's heart trembled, and he hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, if I have quality problems, I will be smashed directly, and I will never take them out and sell them." ”

"Okay, then I'll come over next month, you check the quality, if the cooperation is good, we can cooperate for a long time in the future." Xu Fang said with a smile, and walked out with the box containing porcelain: "Brother Zhu, help me move a box and put it in the taxi outside." ”
