"I said, how dare Boss Tao take us to sightseeing openly! With so many people guarding this kiln, naturally no one will be afraid. ”

He Qingxin takes the purpose of sightseeing to the extreme, and there is no place that she can't see or touch.

"Haha! This is naturally one of the reasons, in previous years, although other families would be careful and strict when they undertook the royal porcelain, for fear that this official kiln would go on a bad trip.

However, in the past few years, the official kiln in the capital has been only done by my Tao family, because the government does not explicitly stipulate that the owner of the official kiln cannot bring outsiders into the kiln to visit, so I got this show cheap, and I took them to visit every once in a while. ”

Boss Tao spoke frankly and straightforwardly, looking at his open-minded appearance, Lan Longyuan couldn't help but ask curiously,

"Showing off like Boss Tao, I don't know if someone with a heart will learn the craft?"

"Uh-haha! This boy doesn't know something, everyone knows the production process, but the craftsmanship of this craftsman can't be stolen. Come, I'll take the two of you to take a closer look. ”

The pottery boss first took them to the place where the mud was practiced, starting from the mud practice, and then talked about the embryo, printing the embryo, repairing the embryo, drying the embryo, and then how to carve the flower, glaze, how to burn the kiln, fill the color and burn the drying, everything was talked about again, and finally led them to see all the workshops.

"How? Do you still think that this ceramic craft will be easily learned? Boss Tao stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

He Qingxin said bluntly, "Well, of course not, it's too troublesome." The craftsman who makes ceramics is really powerful, and he has to grasp everything by himself, and this patience and craftsmanship are as good! ”

"It's a bit more complicated, but it's still possible."

Lan Longyuan touched a porcelain vase with a slightly rough feel in his hand and said thoughtfully.

"Since it was developed by people, it is natural that someone can learn it, but only when a person's state of mind reaches a certain height, he can learn it.

Whether you are clear-minded or meticulous, you may not be able to achieve anything, only if you understand the vastness and beauty of this world, and have absolute patience for all difficulties, can you become a true craftsman.

I don't want to let those who have other thoughts in mind, even if I don't see his thoughts, the one who brought him in, over time, he will change, either he really likes the craft, or he is always swayed by his own malicious obsessions, and in the end nothing can be achieved. ”

……

After listening to Boss Tao's philosophical words, Lan Longyuan's thick eyebrows raised.

"So what does Boss Tao mean?"

I saw that the old bearded boss of this Tao boss grinned, rubbed his hands, and asked, "Haha...... Belch......

Ignorance...... Do you want to learn this exquisite and interesting craft?

Tao opened a small ceramic craft hall in the capital street, from the first day of the new month to the seventh day of the new year, taught by Tao himself, not only can cultivate sentiment, but also can improve personal painting and handicraft skills, one stone with one stone.

Not only can you experience the fun of making ceramics by yourself, but also increase the appreciation of porcelain, and you don't have to be a fake antique connoisseur when you buy antiques in the future.

Do you think the two nobles are very practical? ”

Boss Tao stroked his beard with a confident face, look, I'm amazing! I'm great!

Lan Longyuan looked at him with scrutinizing slanted eyes:

……

DH: Huh? There were also such people in ancient times?

How do I feel like I have encountered MLM teaching? Uh, no, it's supposed to be charlatans?

So she hurriedly waved her hand: "Uh, no, thank you Boss Tao, I'm so stupid, I can't learn, let's just come in and have a look, I'm going to go to another house to have a look soon, you are busy first......

Xianggong, let's go. ”

Lan Longyuan responded happily: "Hmm." ”

"Alas! Two guest officers, please stay first, it doesn't matter if you can't learn it for a while, you can't learn it if it's difficult, it's still easy to do, just now didn't the little nobleman touch the porcelain bottle in my store and feel very special?

In fact, it was made entirely of unusable impure kaolin burnt paper that my apprentice took out of this official kiln.

Because there are impurities in the soil, the color and feel will change, but don't the little nobles think it's beautiful? If someone appreciates it, it proves that my disciple has succeeded.

So, whether you can make a large official kiln blue and white porcelain with excellent materials, or just burn a small dish that can hold a little pickle from rough waste, as long as someone appreciates it, it is considered a success.

So! The two nobles should still go there from time to time to practice their crafts, and Tao is only destined to be a person, and he really wants to hand over something to the two. ”

After this Tao boss finished speaking, he was still a gentleman with one hand behind his back, and made an Amitabha gesture with the other, and bowed to Lan Longyuan and the others.

He Qingxin also began to think that if there was a string of Buddhist beads, Boss Tao, a Confucian teacher, would immediately become a monk ready to practice, but if he really understood this, he would have any specialties to show off in the future, which was also a good thing.

Lan Longyuan was speechless: ......

Contradictory! I just said that not everyone can learn, but there will be people who are destined to make a saucer, and there will be a sense of accomplishment when making a plate!

"Uh...... Hehe! Case...... That's a good man! Otherwise, we'll try it when we have time! ”

He Qingxin said as he spoke, secretly pinching Lan Longyuan in his hand.

"Uh, oh, then, let's go learn it! Ha, I don't know how much Boss Tao's tuition is? ”

Lan Longyuan was pinched painfully and itchy, even if his expression was calm, his tone was direct.

The boss Tao in front of him is obviously a familiar hand, and he often woos guests like this, so he only touches his beard, "Cough! Ahem! Hmmm......"

"Uh...... That's the tuition! That's all trivial, Tao has a town store in the treasure, there is a mark on it, anyone who can know the source of this treasure, the tuition fee is not taken, do not know the source of this treasure, each person every ten days only charge two hundred and fifty taels of silver. The price is reasonable, and there is no bullying for children. ”

He Qingxin heard it, this Tao boss is really good at business, you don't need money if you know it, you don't need money, you don't know you have to spend more silver, how does she feel that this Tao boss has crossed over from Journey to the West?

Lan Longyuan didn't care, this kind of businessman would do this kind of trick to attract business, and it was not a unique skill, and many big merchants in the capital had learned this trick.

"In that case, let's go back with Boss Tao and have a look! Although you may not know the treasure of your town store, you can see it for a long time. ”

"Hey! Okay! Then I'll go back and take a look. ”

Boss Tao turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to the two.

The three of them left the collection room of the official kiln one after another, got into a carriage, and returned to the Zijin porcelain main store on Jingcheng Street.

After returning to the Zijin shop, Boss Tao led the two to the boutique pavilion upstairs, and the two had to admire that the porcelain here was as beautiful as an artifact, and the painting, artistic conception, color, shape, and texture were all perfect and impeccable.

The pottery boss led the two to a fluted wall covered with red cloth,

Lift the red cloth ...... Suddenly revealed a blue and white porcelain vase more than half a person high, it was really good, how can a folk poem say?

Danqing's wonderful pen is exquisite,

Red lotus condenses Qinghong.

Far away from the dust, light ink, smoke and rain,

The green fetus has shaped the dream for a thousand years.

He Qingxin: "Wow......! This time it's a real artifact, uh, no! Wrong! Isn't it jade? This should be a jade bottle! It's simply beautiful. ”

Lan Longyuan's eyes lit up, and he also felt very surprised, "It is indeed very exquisite, but it is indeed a piece of porcelain, Boss Tao has such a treasure to take care of, it would be a pity if someone robbed it." ”

"Haha! Thank you Gongzi for your concern, this porcelain vase is huge and fragile, unless Tao dies, others will never be able to take away the complete porcelain vase. ”

Boss Tao stroked his beard and laughed, seemingly unconcerned about his death one day.

Lan Longyuan came closer and carefully examined the painting on the porcelain vase, "I don't know where the mark of Boss Tao is?" ”

"Oh, on the other side of the bottle, Childe can turn the bottle himself."

Boss Tao is not stingy, don't worry about letting Lan Longyuan do it himself.

Lan Longyuan gently touched the smooth jade bottle body, and slowly turned its back, and you could see that there was a red inscription in the bottom corner, on which two small words of truth-seeking were written in seal script.

Lan Longyuan put one hand around his chest and the other on his chin, thought for a long time, and turned back to Boss Tao

"It seems that in the early years, in the south of the Yangtze River, a well-known very young ceramic craftsman, painting is also a good hand, known as the truth-seeking layman, it seems that his real name is She, in recent years in Yangzhou Jiangxia area settled, I don't know but this person?"

"Eh! There are really a lot of people who Tao brought to observe this porcelain bottle, and Childe is the first person who can tell the origin of this bottle! Tao is really lucky to meet his son today! I don't know what to call Childe's surname? ”

This Tao boss looked quite excited.

"Under the surname Lan, I see that Boss Tao cherishes this porcelain vase so much, I don't know what the story is behind it?"

……

Where would Lan Longyuan know what truth-seeking layman is, it is not the She family information attached to the secret report sent by Lan Wan recently, he remembered.

I saw that this Tao boss sighed heavily, and slowly began to talk with a sad expression,

"Alas! I'm a bad person, too! Back then, I studied with Master She, and my brother only cared about studying skills, and his mind was not active, but I was always uncertain, and every time I made a piece of artenery, I had to compare with him, but I was always inferior to him.

Later, the relationship with my brother became worse and worse, I finally came to the capital to find another way out, at first the livelihood was not easy to do, and then finally a small fight, opened a small shop, that year I met with my brother in the capital, he learned that my business was not good, I insisted on lying in my kiln for a whole month.

He didn't care whether I treated him well or not, every time he entered the kiln, he pulled me from beginning to end to carefully talk about the techniques of firing ceramics, and said that the craftsman's state of mind is to seek truth and depict his own heart, and this porcelain bottle was fired by him at that time.

My brother told me that in fact, my porcelain is also very good compared with other people's craftsmanship, but others have relationships that I don't have, and friends, so if I want to gain a foothold in this capital, the easiest way is to use the strength that others can't catch up with to conquer those discerning buyers.

I never thought that a senior brother who didn't fight or grab would say such a thing, and he was actually teaching me to do business.

Sure enough, after he left, I did realize something, and then the business really got better and better, last year I heard that he had a bad time in the river, and I sent him a letter of condolence, I thought that my brother would one day ask for me, and I was complacent, but I waited for more than half a year, and finally waited for my brother's reply.

There are only a few words on it: "Senior Brother Yan, think more about your actions in the future, pay attention to your health, I have my son Jinyao studying medicine abroad, and I will see you in the future." "Who would have thought that this would become a letter from my senior brother.

I've been waiting stupidly, waiting for my brother to be unbearable, so I can beg me once, but I'm too stupid, and now, except for the porcelain vase that my brother left to Tao, I haven't found my brother's son so far.

Tao had no choice but to choose some people who looked as righteous as Gongzi and had a prominent family background to attract this porcelain vase, hoping that someone would be willing to help Tao find the whereabouts of his brother's son.
