Chapter 383: Craftsman Spirit
Pieces of finished products that were shattered because of flaws in firing?!
Director Zhang and other officials looked at Lu Yu in surprise, and they didn't react for a while.
Secretary Liu said even more subconsciously: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, according to Professor Wu's analysis...... The amount of these fragments should be extremely large, and conservative estimates even cover a kilometer of underground ...... under our feet"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them suddenly stirred, and many people subconsciously moved their steps and looked at the ground under their feet in surprise.
A radius of one kilometer?!Are we stepping on ancient ruins under our feet?!
At this time, Professor Wu finally raised his head and said, "Yes, and after preliminary judgment, I also agree with Lu Yu's statement, these fragments should be flawed and defective." However, to my surprise, the defects of these so-called defective products are almost negligible. ”
Very little?!
County Magistrate Li frowned and said, "If it's really minor, then it shouldn't be considered a defective product, right? Even if it can't be sold at full price, it can at least be worth a lot of money...... It's just broken?"
In fact, many people around him also had the same idea as County Magistrate Li, and they immediately nodded in agreement when they heard this.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "County Magistrate Li may not know that our ancestors' requirements for product quality are definitely not what you and I can imagine......
What were the requirements of the ancients for product quality?
There was a blank look in everyone's eyes.
Only Professor Wu nodded approvingly: "That's right, I found a large number of such fragments near Jingdezhen at the beginning, and even today, Jingdezhen and other places where porcelain is fired also have the same work requirements for directly crushing defective products on site." ”
Many people may not understand this.
Because even a slightly defective product has a use value, for those who do not have high requirements for craftsmanship but have requirements for price, this product is definitely worth buying.
Of course, there are also workshops or factories that specialize in making cheap goods.
It's just that among the finished products produced by famous kilns, this kind of product will never appear!
Even if there is, it's a fake!
Because famous kilns with a long heritage or a certain degree of popularity pay more attention to the spirit of craftsmanship!
The excellence of the fired products, even to the point of nitpicking and almost paranoia, this is the real famous kiln's own requirements!
They would rather break all the finished products fired in an entire kiln and leave nothing behind, and they will never tolerate any items with their kiln name on them entering the market!
This is not only responsible for the reputation of a kiln, but also an affirmation of a craftsman's ingenuity!
And if one day a famous kiln suddenly starts selling cheap and defective goods, then it is obvious that this kiln has begun to gradually go into loneliness, has been assimilated by the world, and in the near future this kiln will also be wiped out of the people, excluded from the famous kiln.
Therefore, when Professor Wu expressed his doubts, he still maintained a relieved smile on his face, even happier than when he found out just now.
Because he knows that the more he does this, the greater his discovery! Discovering an ordinary kiln site and discovering a famous kiln with the spirit of craftsmanship are definitely two different concepts!
Lu Yu also smiled, he put on his gloves, picked up a fragment of a relatively complete pot and looked at it, and said, "Congratulations Professor Wu, it seems that there is another famous kiln that will reappear in the light of day." ”
Professor Wu glanced at Lu Yu deeply and said, "It seems that this also means that the first Dalong kiln designed by me is about to start to be built?
The two of them laughed tacitly, and their hearts also rose with sympathy. They share the same true craftsmanship as these craftsmen who were extremely demanding of their work hundreds of years ago.
Even if they are in different fields, they can feel each other's ingenuity!
After laughing, Lu Yu said with a smile: "Then the next thing will be hard Professor Wu, please can put these pieces together as much as possible in order to depict the general shape." As for the origin and composition of the soil, I think Professor Huang should have a result soon. ”
Professor Wu nodded: "This is natural, you can wait for the news with peace of mind!"
It was only at this moment that Director Zhang and the others gradually reacted and asked, "Professor Wu, what do you mean...... There are indeed ruins of the Great Dragon Kiln here?"
Professor Wu said with a smile: "Of course, and I am seventy percent sure that this big dragon kiln will be more magnificent than any dragon kiln we have ever seen before, and as long as all the archaeological excavation work is completed, it will definitely shock the whole country and even the world!"
As he spoke, Professor Wu suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Yu and said, "Lao Huang told me that you participated in this tea person promotion assessment, and you also chose the most difficult question. Now it looks like I'm probably going to call you Master Lu in the near future. ”
Master Lu......
Vice Mayor Huang, County Magistrate Li and others were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Lu Yu in surprise.
In the tea world, there is also a strict hierarchy.
Except for some tea people who have made outstanding contributions or are very well-known, such as Qiu Lin and others, who Lu Yu met before, only tea people above the second level are qualified to be called "masters"!
Could it be that this discovery can directly elevate Lu Yu, a new tea man, to the level of "master"?!
You must know that second-level tea people have a very high status in China! Unless they are like Zhou Anping, a second-level tea man some time ago, as long as they are tea people above the second level, almost everywhere they are qualified to become real high-ranking officials and guests of big chaebols!
After these people were stunned, they couldn't help but secretly glance at Director Zhang again. No wonder this exquisite director of the province would deign to come here to see Lu Yu in person, it turns out that there is such a reason......
Unconsciously, these people's attitude towards Lu Yu was a little more respectful.
Lu Yu smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's just a title, Professor Wu must not make fun of me." It is the right thing to really revitalize our Chinese tea and tea culture, and I really haven't thought much about the rest. ”
Professor Wu nodded approvingly and said, "I hope I can see that day!"
After that, he didn't say anything more, turned around and continued to work.
And after some conversation just now, Lu Yu also lost the mood to continue making tea.
Because he suddenly found that the attitude of these "leaders" around him had changed, and his eyes and words showed a strong sense of friendship.
Make tea with tea customers, regardless of whether the other party understands tea or not, you can talk and exchange experiences at leisure. However, if you drink tea with someone with a strong purpose, then the tea will lose its proper taste.
Therefore, Lu Yu also asked Monk Kong to put away his tea set, and smiled apologetically at Director Zhang and the others: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there is still something to do, since the work here has been on the right track, then I will leave first." ”
