Guo Ruyi deliberately chose today's day, moving on the first day, temporarily recuperating on the second day, and on the third day, she was relieved to bring someone to the door to disturb her.

The two craftsmen were young, both in their twenties, and they didn't know what Guo Ruyi told them, and the two knelt down as soon as they saw the spring return.

Qi Qi shouted: "Master teach!" The look was more solemn than the other.

The few children who had just come out to go to the private school were stunned, and even Chun Gui was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help people up.

"What is this for? Miss Guo, tell them to get up, what are you doing to me? ”

Guo Ruyi also looked helpless: "These are the two craftsmen I brought down from Kyoto, Chu Yi and Chu Er, two brothers. I told them yesterday that you were going to teach them how to make hand-painted porcelain, and when you look at the dark blue in their eyes, they think they were so excited that they didn't sleep all night, because they regarded you as a master. ”

The most important thing for craftsmen is the inheritance of craftsmanship, in the eyes of Chungui, it is a small method of firing, in the eyes of these two people, it is to teach the housekeeping skills, isn't this the master.

Chungui was depressed for a while, and hurriedly called them up, and asked Cai, who was watching from the sidelines, to send a few children to a private school to recognize the way. Cai Shi reacted and nodded hurriedly, and was about to go out with Zhiping, but Guo Ruyi was busy and stopped her.

The little girl who followed behind hurriedly sent a stack of tightly packaged gift boxes.

"I originally wanted to come to Sister Cai's wedding banquet to have a glass of wine, but I was trapped by some important things at home. Although I came here today to discuss something with Sister Yue, I have to make up for this gift! Guo Ruyi took the gift box and gave it to Cai's arms, and Cai's looked flattered.

She has a friendship with this Guo Ruyi, and she doesn't have much contact with her on weekdays, but she can still be remembered by this rich lady to give gifts, which is really a little uncomfortable.

"Miss Guo, this is really ...... I don't even know what to say, thank you, Miss! ”

Looking at her restrained appearance, Guo Ruyi was afraid that she would be uncomfortable and would not talk much.

After Cai put down the gift box, he also went out with the children.

Li Zhicun was busy in the shop in front of him, so there were only a few of them left in the house, as well as Zhimin, who secretly made clothes for Chungui in the house. Look again, the two on the ground are still kneeling.

Chungui hurriedly said: "You don't have to worship me, that method is not difficult, you are craftsmen, you can learn it with a little learning, and you must be proficient in it in the future." ”

Nowadays, the porcelain firing is becoming more and more refined, from the original white porcelain slowly become textured, presumably someone has been pondering how to add color to the color, Chongwen's era, the fan picture is still from a single ink color through her a point, just half a year has appeared in all kinds, not to mention how many people are pondering this porcelain.

But the two of them didn't think that if they insisted on calling a master, there was no way to return in the spring, so they could only follow them.

The Guo family has been in business for many years, and wherever they go, the shop has already been famous, and today they borrowed a private kiln for the spring to return to the professor. Porcelain firing is not difficult for those who have many years of experience, and Chungui itself is a half-baked person who can only do dot painting, but fortunately, the kindergarten teacher is a versatile profession involved, and she also learned a little underglaze painting at the beginning. It is a process of coloring or outlining patterns on the original embryo, and then glazing and firing.

The kiln was outside the town, and the carriage was only a quarter of an hour away. Chungui said something to Zhimin and then followed.

When they got there, the private kiln had been emptied by Guo Ruyi's people early, and only a few caves were in operation at the moment. As soon as Chungui entered there, he was so hot that he was sweating, but Chu Yi and Chu Er followed up with their own door, and led the two of them to one place familiarly.

After Chungui explained the process to the two brothers, the two immediately sat down and skillfully took the original embryo that had been dried long ago and handed it over to Chungui.

He hurriedly took out several porcelain bottles that had been successfully fired in the cave and carefully placed them in one place.

Chungui has the heart to observe, both of them are honest and reliable, and they are only focused on the work in hand. Guo Ruyi is worthy of growing up in the business family, and he has his own rules for seeing people and things.

Such an honest person who is only dedicated to refining his craft is loyal and hardworking, but it is not easy to be double-minded.

The professional operation has its own Chu Yi and Chu Er to follow up, and what Chun Hui has to do is to color the original embryo after drying. Guo Ruyi had already prepared all kinds of dyes, and disposed of a clean piece of land for her to color and paint.

Chungui carefully looked at the two original embryos in his hands, today's ceramic products are made of clay required for ceramics by workers to dig mines, weather, mash and wash them, and then knead the mud by the craftsmen, pull the embryo, repair the embryo into the desired shape, apply glaze after drying, and finally fire the kiln, and the final product is clean and the same white porcelain.

The difference between the hand-painted porcelain and the white porcelain here is a process before glazing.

Chungui thought about it, adjusted a blue and cyan color, dotted on a porcelain bottle-shaped embryo, brushed down layer by layer, and the color blending caused a layered fog blue, and the color gradually darkened from top to bottom.

After the foggy blue porcelain vase was successfully colored, the two brothers of the Chu family on the side hurriedly stepped forward, and the commander of Chungui nervously held the glaze and put it into the cave to fire, so that he stared at the cave without leaving for a moment.

The other bowl-shaped embryo was carefully hooked with two or three green bamboos.

Painting is not like brushing colors, firing once after outlining, coloring once and firing again. Painting on this embryo is a test of kung fu, and a half-baked person like Chungui can only color one stroke at a time, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong. It's just an experiment, and even if the painting goes wrong, the spring return will go with it.

Three green bamboos, hook line plus three times of coloring a total of four times, the two brothers of the Chu family worked hard and complained to be sent by the spring, the face was solemn, and so on the last official firing, the two not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but also guarded the cave one by one.

This firing porcelain is already labor-intensive, and after such a circle, the clothes behind the spring return have long been sweaty, and the two brothers are even more sweaty, but they have never slackened at all.

Chungui also admires the two of them a little at this moment.

"Sister Yue doesn't have to wonder, these two brothers have become crazy about this porcelain, and I'm afraid they won't even move at this moment." She smiled helplessly: "Don't say it's the two of them, I'm also panicked." ”

Chun Gui looked at Guo Ruyi, who was also sweating, and nodded, she understood that doing business was a jackpot.

There is still some effort in firing, and Guo Ruyi is not good at letting Chungui stay in this hot and dry place, so he invited her out, and the two brothers of the Chu family really refused to go out, and insisted on waiting for the two finished porcelain products to come out, and Guo Ruyi also followed them.

When the two of them walked outside, the sweat on their heads was immediately gone, but their backs were still slimy.

Guo Ruyi looked apologetic: "Sister Yue has worked hard today." ”

Chungui smiled and shook his head: "Why, I also made things early for my shop, and I was already prepared there." ”

The goods customized by the shopkeeper there are faster, but the porcelain takes a lot of work.

"Since she wants to make hand-painted porcelain, Miss Guo also needs to find some talents who can hold the brush, so that it will be faster to cooperate with Chu Yi and Chu Er."

Guo Ruyi nodded knowingly: "Sister Yue is right." ”

The two got into the carriage to rest, talked a few words, and after a while, Chu Er's voice could not hide his surprise outside.

"Master! Miss! It's done! ”

Guo Ruyi immediately opened the curtain in front of him: "Really?!" Show it to me! ”

Behind him, Chu Yizheng blushed, and carefully took out the board with a steaming porcelain vase with both hands and placed it on the ground.

The foggy blue porcelain under the sun is really from top to bottom from shallow to deep, the two brothers of the Chu family are good at craftsmanship, this original embryo is smooth and flawless, and the color is added to a hazy color.

Without waiting for Guo Ruyi's reaction, Chu Yi turned his head again and took out another hand-painted porcelain bowl.

Chu Yi touched his head and said embarrassedly: "This porcelain bowl is not ready for firing time, so it is a little muddy." ”

Guo Ruyi took a look, the three verdant bamboos on the white porcelain bowl were straight, and there were really a few points of cyan on the white background next to it, but so what! She couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"There are also people in Kyoto who are wondering how to work on the color of this porcelain, why don't I be in a hurry, which Cheng went back to my home, it is a literati shop is also lively, and now this porcelain will also have an exclusive share!" She turned her head and held Chungui's hand tightly, and said gratefully: "Sister Yue, I really don't know how to thank you!" ”

Chun Gui has been busy all morning, her body and bones are sore, and seeing Guo Ruyi so happy at this moment, her soreness seems to have eased.

"Don't thank me, it's not a difficult thing, without me, it won't be long before someone will do it." People can develop civilization from the primitive society with nothing, everything can be peeled off the cocoon, without her open-minded modern people to make this thing, there will be skilled craftsmen to push. into the original process of porcelain.

Guo Ruyi still insisted: "Sister Yue doesn't have to be modest, from the fan to this porcelain, you have solved my two problems, I will thank you!" ”

She thought about it a few times in her heart, but now she doesn't plan to explain it with the spring return.

"Today is the professor, tomorrow I will be busy here, Sister Yue rest assured, this first batch is to make a batch of porcelain for your shop, I will come tomorrow to take a sample of the painting, keep it for you before the shop opens!"

Guo Ruyi was a happy event, and immediately arranged it in a hurry.

Chungui smiled and shook his head, and let her be.

When I returned to the town, it was already afternoon, and the refreshments prepared by Guo Ruyi's carriage had already been empty, and after apologetically putting Chungui down the carriage, Guo Ruyi hurriedly said: "Sister Yue, hurry back to eat, I won't keep you, today is really, too busy!" ”

Chungui didn't mind at all, but he also knew that Guo Ruyi was about to hold her to the sky at the moment, for fear of being sluggish.

"If you still have any questions about coloring, Miss Guo doesn't have to be afraid to disturb me, just ask." She looked at the two young men whose faces were still red, and said with a smile: "After all, I also have two more apprentices. ”

The two brothers of the Chu family smiled embarrassedly and saluted again.

As soon as she got out of the carriage in the spring, someone passing by recognized her, and hurriedly said, "Yue Niangzi, we've been waiting for almost a month!" You have to tell me when this shop will open! ”

Chun Gui hurriedly smiled: "What you said, I am all here, can I still close this shop?" Wait, wait, it's coming! ”

Guo Ruyi's carriage slowly ran away, Chun Gui looked at it from a distance, and his face was relieved for a while, this porcelain was gradually made, isn't it fast!

In the next few days, the porcelain bowl was stared at by Guo Ruyi, the fan pen and ink were prepared by the shopkeeper, and the shop Li Zhicun led people to knock and beat and slowly became a shape.

It wasn't until the days gradually passed, that the sweet potato taro in Xiaoliangshan ushered in another season's harvest, Li Zhigao loaded a full donkey cart, plus a few mountain goods, and a few dairy sheep returned in the spring to send up, and she had a serious job on hand.

After another while, a plaque with the words "Spring Return Garden" was sent to the door by a young man, saying that a son surnamed Cheng had ordered it earlier, and he personally installed it for her. The guy praised the heavens, and said straightly, "The big characters written by the son himself, and the plaque that he personally selected, are really very attentive!" ”

The guy praised while observing Chungui's reaction, and when he heard her helplessness, he whispered heartily: "This stupid boy, when did you figure it out." ”

Finally, the day has come on May 15, and it is auspicious to open.
