Chapter 256: The Difference Between a Great Craftsman and a Small Craftsman
Taisun looked over and saw that there were two brass sculptures on the red flannel cloth in the box.
One was about the size of two walnuts, a round, polished piglet. The other is smaller, also round, and looks like a ...... Persimmon?
This one...... Taisun thought that the two gadgets were interesting, and he also stretched out his finger and touched the smooth curve of the bronze piglet.
It's funny, and the appearance is very pleasing, but ......
Taisun raised his head and looked at Xia Han with confusion in his eyes, "This, why do you put these two things together?" Anything to say? ”
has the foundation of the previous bull and golden toad, and the grandson has some understanding of the ideology of Qingyun Zhai, but this persimmon ...... He couldn't think of anything to say about it.
Xia Han immediately smiled when he heard his question.
Looking like that, the smile was still trying its best to control it, so it didn't expand.
"This group of bronze sculptures was given to me and my sister by my sister-in-law during the Chinese New Year this year, and my sister and I are in a group."
Taisun nodded: "Oh." He had to admit that Brother Han's sister-in-law was indeed uniquely capable, generous and unexpected.
Xia Han continued with a smile: "When my sister-in-law took out this thing, our whole family, like you, didn't understand why we put these two things together. As a result, my sister-in-law laughed at us for not knowing anything, and even my grandfather and my father were laughed at by my sister-in-law. ”
Taisun's two immature eyebrows were raised high, and his dark eyes were full of curiosity.
The last time he went back from the Xia family kiln, he found the main book of the palace and made up for Xia Han's family members.
Xia Ke, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Xia Zixi of Yunshan Academy are said to be very knowledgeable and respected. And these two are Xia Han's sister-in-law's father and brother, and they were actually laughed at?
"Why the joke?" Taisun glanced at the direction of Shao Yi and Xia Yanqing and asked.
Xia Han didn't have the scruples of his grandson, and said with a smile that he didn't intend to hide at all: "My sister-in-law said that everything is going well." ”
Forehead...... Pigs, persimmons, and the grandson was successfully sluggish. Can these two things be put together like this? And put together, its quality is immediately sublimated?
Pig persimmon everything went well...... The corners of Taisun's lips pulled into a smile.
Then, the smile grew bigger and bigger, and even the eyebrows and eyes were bent, and Aunt Xia could figure it out.
Xia Han closed the box, locked the buckle, stuffed it into the grandson's hand, and said, "This is what my sister-in-law specially asked the mold craftsman of the workshop to make, and it is the limited edition that people say." There is one in my family, one in yours, there is no outside, no pottery, no glass. ”
Taisun held the box in both hands, and then looked at the two rows of display shelves in the room that he didn't care about looking at just now. On display are samples of glass and glaze, some shaped, others irregular.
The most impressive thing about these samples is the color. A variety of colors. At first glance, it is transparent, opaque, and has different colors, and it is very brilliant and gorgeous.
Taisun asked Xia Han and said, "Pig ...... Everything goes smoothly ornaments, such a good meaning, and there are new ideas, why doesn't Aunt Xia make it into a glass ornament? If it is made into two large glazed ornaments, people will like it. ”
Xia Han said with a smile: "My fourth uncle also asked about the words of the virtuous son." The sister-in-law said: The glass and glass are fragile, in case one is not careful, the visit will be broken on the ground," Then, he learned Xia Yanqing's tangled eyes, looked at the grandson, and asked, "You said that this pig matter is smooth?" Still not going well? ”
"Ah......" Taisun opened his mouth, but he couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
Over there, Shao Yi couldn't bear to be funny, and asked Xia Yanqing: "It seems that you actually want to burn this ornament?" ”
Xia Yanqing is a little stupid, stinky boy, she actually learned her like this, is she so obsessed with money?
"I'm just telling the truth, isn't it that funny?"
She's just a little depressed. Human memory is limited, although she is doing things here well, those things are not her own, she is just a porter.
Well, there will always be a time when the move is finished.
Such a creative ornament, it turns out that she is just a glass maker.
She seemed to see the silver ingots of white flowers, and one by one they put on their wings and flew away.
Fortunately, she now employs quite a few carvers and painters.
These people didn't come here to eat for nothing, and they couldn't earn much more than other families just by drawing and carving the appearance she described.
They have to have their own work, suitable for glass and glazed work.
The glaze workshop has made two of their works, which are ornaments with an obvious atmosphere of this era. But it doesn't seem to be very popular, and it all depends on the rare material of the glass, so the customer reluctantly buys it.
It has to be said that art glass and glazed products, due to their crystal clear texture, are more suitable for sculptures with modern consciousness.
The artworks of this era, which are subtle and long-term art forms, are more suitable for ceramics, wood carvings, Tang Sancai and bronze.
After the two little ones exchanged gifts, and the water cup was also seen by them, and it seemed that there was an extra layer of light, and the two of them sat back in their original seats and ate two snacks.
Taisun followed Xia Han on the table for so long, and his heart was unprecedentedly relaxed.
He patted the dim sum scum on his hand, and turned his head to look at Xia Yanqing, who was chatting with a partner.
Xia Yanqing felt Taisun's gaze, and turned her head to see Taisun looking at her.
This ancestor, what's the matter? Xia Yanqing's heart was sudden. Children with royal heir genes seem to be difficult to answer the questions they ask.
When I was at the table with Xia Han just now, I was like a seven-year-old child. Looking at him now, he is the royal child who will be in charge of the whole world in the future and has doubts that need to be answered.
"Is there something wrong with the virtuous son?" Facing the grandson who was nine out of ten sure that he would become the lord of the world, Xia Yanqing behaved very well and took the initiative.
Taisun said: "It is rumored outside that the glass and glass of Qingyunzhai are made by Aunt Xia. However, why did Aunt Xia not know or not know many things when I had questions just now? ”
"......" Xia Yanqing blinked.
If she hadn't had enough reason and was open-minded, this kid's question would have been a proper slap in the face.
Just now in the workshop, the grandson once asked how to make the mold of glass.
He also asked, how did the craftsmen master the skills of the embossed glassware, which can fit the two glass materials as if they were one, but the pattern is clear, and the two glasses maintain a very clear boundary and will not merge with each other.
What's the matter, she's just a marketer, where do you know these things?
Professional technology, of course, depends on professionals to solve.
Therefore, she naturally found a professional to solve her grandson's doubts.
As a result, the grandson asked her back, this child, do you think she is a shameless plagiarist who deceives the world and steals her name?
Xia Yanqing was immediately melancholy, being so positioned by the future Son of Heaven, isn't this okay?
For many people, she is a craftsman who has mastered advanced manual skills, but she was lucky to be born in the family of the eunuch.
And she is actually very willing to be this craftsman, she is a master craftsman.
What is the difference between a big craftsman and a small craftsman? It is the difference between a master craftsman like her, who does not know a lot of things, and those who have a firm grasp of exquisite skills.
