Chapter 292: Mysterious Gift
I remember that when Chen Kexin was born on her birthday in the first semester of the third year of junior high school in her previous life, almost the entire grade was discussing this topic, and many people struggled to please Chen Kexin.
Ling Chen is also one of them, I remember that in the previous life Chen Kexin's birthday Ling Chen was very shabby in his pocket, but it was the birthday of his first love, Ling Chen still squeezed out his living expenses, plus borrowed the living expenses of several friends of Chen Xiangliang to buy a work of art for Chen Kexin, that artwork Ling Chen still remembers that it was smooth sailing, it was the most expensive gift in the school commissary at that time, 68 yuan.
At that time, 68 yuan could be said to be Ling Chen's living expenses for three weeks, but in order to please his beloved girl, Ling Chen completely let it go, but Chen Kexin, who was the proud daughter of the sky, naturally looked down on such a crude handicraft that Ling Chen bought, and politely thanked Ling Chen, and also gave Ling Chen a repeater worth more than 100 on Ling Chen's birthday in the second month.
Ling Chen had to protect the repeater given to him by Chen Kexin like a baby, and later a cousin at home took the repeater and broke it under the scramble, Ling Chen angrily fought with his cousin, and Ling Chen still clearly felt that when the repeater was broken, his heart was also like broken. Later, Ling Chen treasured the broken repeater until his mother swept out his mother's new house as garbage.
Now that he has come back again, Chen Kexin's birthday Ling Chen naturally has to pay attention, so as early as last Sunday, Ling Chen visited all the shops in Xiangyang Square. I never thought of any favorite gifts, when Ling Chen went to the head teacher's office to ask for leave today. Seeing the head teacher's ceramic pen holder, Ling Chen had a flash of inspiration. I've figured out what gift to give.
After asking for leave, Ling Chen drove towards Nansha, because the last time he participated in the Mathematics Olympiad, Ling Chen heard a classroom at Zhongsha University tell President Lu Anwen that there was a very old porcelain burning workshop in Chengnan District, Nansha City, and the unearthed works were of very good quality and had great collection value. Ling Chen was next to him at the time, and he didn't get up when he heard it, so he thought of giving a gift to Chen Kexin today. That's why I remembered.
Chen Kexin's position in Ling Chen's heart is very special, now that he feels that Chen Kexin is keeping a certain distance from him, Ling Chen has a faint pain in his heart, no matter whether he will be with Chen Kexin in the future, if Chen Kexin leaves him, Ling Chen can't stop it, but Ling Chen doesn't want to leave regrets.
In his previous life, he sent a crude handicraft, Chen Kexin must have forgotten it a long time ago, and this time. must give a work that is very meaningful to Chen Kexin, even if she can't be with Chen Kexin in the future, at least this gift will make her think of herself occasionally, and she will be satisfied.
The porcelain workshop in Seongnam is famous. Basically, anyone who has been in Zhongsha for a few years will know about it, so Ling Chen came to Nansha. It took almost no effort to inquire about this Tan's porcelain.
Under the guidance of others, Ling Chen drove to this Tan porcelain shop. A middle-aged woman greeted Ling Chen warmly and introduced him to some of the store's best-selling porcelain.
This store is not big. At most, it is more than 20 square meters, and it is only about 11 o'clock at this time, so it is relatively deserted. Ling Chen looked at the many lifelike porcelains in this Tan porcelain shop, there were landscapes, as well as characters and animals, which were very cute, and Ling Chen liked it very much.
Seeing Ling Chen's expression, the proprietress looked like it, and worked harder to promote her products, which made Ling Chen frown.
Ling Chen put down a delicate character ceramic and said to the enthusiastic proprietress: "Boss, I want to make a few special ceramics, do you think it's okay?" Of course, money is not an issue. ”
The middle-aged proprietress lit up her eyes, then pondered for a while, and then said to Ling Chen: "There is definitely no problem with making a few special ceramics, but the price will be a little expensive." "The middle-aged proprietress is a kind woman, although Ling Chen drove a good car, she took the initiative to tell Ling Chen about the price.
Ling Chen smiled happily, "No problem." ”
At this time, Ling Chen thought that wouldn't it be more meaningful if he could make it directly by himself? So he asked the proprietress in an inquiring tone: "Boss, can I learn the art of ceramics from you?" Firing the ceramics I made with my own hands? ”
"No, no, this is my ancestor." The proprietress directly refused, and Ling Chen had to give up.
Ling Chen paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan first, and soon, under the notice of the proprietress, a sturdy middle-aged man came, looking at his appearance, he should be a couple with the proprietress.
The sturdy middle-aged man took the initiative to introduce himself to Ling Chen, his name was Tan Ming, and the skill of making porcelain was ancestral, and took the initiative to ask Ling Chen what kind of ceramics he wanted to make, and Ling Chen had to tell him his requirements.
Tan Ming pondered for a while, and took the initiative to take Ling Chen to his kiln location, the kiln location was a little far away from the shop he opened, Ling Chen sat on his motorcycle for about 20 minutes, before he came to a scenic suburb, and under his leadership, he entered a very ordinary farmhouse yard.
The yard of the farmhouse is very spacious, and many ceramics that have just come out of the kiln are beautiful, which makes people overwhelmed, and even Ling Chen curiously picked up an old ceramic of the birthday star and looked at it.
Since he came to the kiln location, Ling Chen said to this Boss Tan again: "Boss Tan, can I learn from you how to make ceramics?" I want to make a ceramic with my own hands, so that the gift will be more meaningful. ”
Tan Ming treated Ling Chen as the son of a rich family, and he still recognized Ling Chen's sincerity in giving gifts, so he had a good impression of Ling Chen, and after muttering for a while, he agreed to Ling Chen.
Ling Chen was very happy, so he came to the place where the embryo was made under the leadership of Tan Ming, through his explanation, Ling Chen was a little dizzy, and it was too troublesome to fire ceramics, right?
Because Ling Chen had explained that he wanted to make it special, he was not afraid of spending more money, so Tan Ming told Ling Chen that it would take about 5,000 yuan to specially fire a kiln of ceramics specially designated by Ling Chen, and the labor cost would be calculated separately, of course, if Ling Chen was willing to wait, he only needed to spend 3 or 400 yuan, but he had to wait for a while, and the shortest was 7 or 8 days.
Chen Kexin's birthday is this week, Ling Chen naturally can't wait, so it doesn't matter if he spends a little more money, Tan Ming nodded, called a master from his family to guide Ling Chen, and then arranged the procedure for firing ceramics.
The reason why Tan Ming agreed to teach Ling Chen to make ceramics is because the ancestral recipe and kiln burning procedures in his family are only known to their Tan family, even if Ling Chen wants to steal the master, it is absolutely impossible to work without a few years of hard work, and they will give Ling Chen the soil that has been adjusted to learn how to make ceramics, Ling Chen can't steal their recipe even if he wants to, so he generously let Ling Chen come to the kiln burning point.
Ling Chen used to play with mud pinching villains when he was a child, so he was still very interested in making ceramics. Therefore, I went out to have a meal with Tan Ming first, paid 2,000 yuan as a deposit, and then printed out the photos in my mobile phone and let Master Tan do it himself.
Ling Chen thought in his heart, he wanted to burn Chen Kexin's portrait, as well as Xue'er and the English teacher, of course, Meng Zihan himself would not forget, but Ling Chen would only fire one, and he and Chen Kexin would only fire ceramics together, and the others would be fired separately.
Tan Ming is a master of painting, not long after, according to the photos printed out in Ling Chen's mobile phone, he depicted a lot of character pictures, when he saw a fairy-like beauty, Tan Ming couldn't help but look at Ling Chen a few more times, and sighed in his heart that Ling Chen's beauty was not shallow.
Ling Chen was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything, he only had their individual photos, and he didn't have intimate photos with them, he didn't expect Tan Ming to see so much.
Ling Chen specially asked Tan Ming to make a ceramic that he and Chen Kexin together, and at the same time, he also asked to write three words under the ceramic, 'Chen Kexin'. Of course, if you can, you can also add some words of blessing to it.
On the same day, Ling Chen learned a lot of kung fu from Tan Ming, a master of porcelain burning, and he still made rapid progress in making embryos, at least the embryos made by Ling Chen were somewhat decent, and it could be seen who the person who pinched them out was.
Busy until the evening, Ling Chen once again invited Tan Ming and his disciples to the hotel for dinner, and after eating, Ling Chen returned to the hotel. It's not that Ling Chen didn't think about walking with Sister Xue'er, but at this time, Ling Chen felt a little guilty in his heart, and it was not easy to face Li Xue, so he had to wait for tomorrow.
The next day, Master Tan told Ling Chen that he had to burn the kiln, so according to the knowledge he learned yesterday, Ling Chen carefully pinched two characters, one of which was Chen Kexin, and the other was of course Ling Chen.
There is still a certain scrap rate in the kiln, so Ling Chen specially made two more embryos, three embryos together, and they won't all be scrapped, right?
Tan Ming looked at the embryo pinched by Ling Chen, and nodded with satisfaction, he didn't expect that Ling Chen had already learned decently in just one day, and his comprehension ability was too strong.
Ling Chen also looked at the little figures pinched by Master Tan, they were lifelike and very lovable, but Ling Chen's favorite thing in his heart was the three ceramics with Chen Kexin that he made with his own hands, maybe they were made by himself, as if they were his own children.
When the kiln was fired, Ling Chen watched carefully, and when Master Tan put the ceramics he kneaded into the kiln, Ling Chen prayed in his heart that he must succeed! (To be continued......)
