Before I knew it, it was time for the pottery display and competition, and during these few days, he would go to the kitchen after dinner to complete his work. Zijin saw that no one was chatting at night, so he practiced spells with Zigui and the two of them in the small courtyard.

Early in the morning, the town is buzzing with activity. Everyone gathered in the center of the town, each pottery shop put the entries on the booth and marked the serial number, during the preliminary evaluation, the preliminary judges thought which thing was good, first wrote down the number of the work, picked it out and put it on the rostrum, and then asked the mayor and other officials to re-evaluate.

Zhi finally finished his final work last night, and put it together with Master Ren and Brother Geng in the store. This year, there are a total of 8 entries in Sister Wei's shop, 3 of which are from Master Ren, and the rest are all apprentices.

Zijin accompanied Zhi to the scene of the game.

"Master Ren, they have all arrived, why haven't they seen Sister Wei yet?" Zijin asked.

"I don't know, I guess I'll be here in a while!"

Zijin looked at the entries in the store, and the serial numbers of their entries were 100 to 107, and the number was the last one, which was No. 107.

The speed of the evaluation was very fast, and after a while, the judges of the preliminary evaluation had already picked all the works they thought were good on the main display stage, and it was the turn of the re-evaluation.

This is Sister Wei, who is late, and asked Zijin: "It's a little late today, it's late, which step is it?" ”

"The preliminary evaluation is over."

"How did it turn out?"

"There are 4 of them in our store, two from Master Ren, and Brother Geng's from Hezhi."

"That's good, half of our store has passed the initial evaluation, not bad."

"It would be nice if I could win the prize!" After speaking, Zijin and Sister Wei smiled secretly.

The second round of re-examination passed a little slowly.

The mayor of the town, the president of the Pottery Production Association, and the director of the Pottery Management and Sales Office selected the final award-winning works, and after repeated discussions, three works were finally selected as the first, second and third prizes of the competition.

Everyone is anxiously waiting for the announcement of the results of the game.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the careful selection of our conference staff, this year from the 350 participating pottery works, 79 were selected to enter the re-examination, and then I, Chairman Li, and Director Zhang selected three works with outstanding craftsmanship, and now, it is up to me to announce the serial numbers of the top three works. The third place is No. 25, whose work is No. 25, please let everyone know. ”

"It's my work." A voice came out.

"Tell me about yourself."

"My name is Yun Yi, I am the son of Tao Xuan Ge Yun shopkeeper, and this is the first time to participate in the competition."

"Tell me about the meaning of your work!"

"When I was a child, my family was very poor, and my father didn't run Tao Xuan Pavilion at that time. In order to save some money for the family, my mother used a bamboo basket to carry the young me on her back to help my father work together, so I can always see the bamboo basket in my memory. My mother likes butterflies and flowers very much, but our family was too poor and too busy, so she never raised flowers and plants, even butterflies, and she didn't take the time to appreciate them. Although my family has become wealthy, I will never forget the hard days when I was with my mother when I was young, so I made pottery in the shape of a bamboo basket and decorated it with flowers and butterflies, and this work was dedicated to my mother. ”

After Yunyi finished introducing the work, Director Zhang said:

"Yunyi's work, after our three selections, it was selected as the third prize, and the award declaration is: the work is cleverly made of clay into the shape of a bamboo basket, the shape is vivid, and the lifelike flowers and butterflies add agility and vitality to this work. This work not only shows the author's superior craftsmanship, but also reflects the author's filial piety, sincerity and sincerity. ”

"Thank you, judges."

Then Director Zhang announced:

"The prize of the third prize is 1,000 monthly coins, as well as an award certificate officially certified by the pottery town and the priority of next year's clay procurement."

Hearing the prize of the third prize, everyone was amazed, the priority of clay procurement, that is how many pottery shops want. Although there is an abundant supply of clay in the pottery town, the best quality clay must be officially controlled, and everyone has to queue up to apply.

After that, the guild president began to speak: "Next, I will announce the number of the second place, the second place is work No. 107, who made it, please let everyone know." ”

Hearing the number of his work, he couldn't believe it, Zijin pushed him excitedly in the back, and he reacted.

"I made work No. 107." Zhi replied.

"Which store are you from, introduce yourself."

"I'm an apprentice of Yipinxuan, my name is Zhi."

"Or an apprentice?"

"Yes."

"Tell me about the meaning of your work."

"This is a scene that appeared in my dream. In the dream I incarnated as a cat, I have been wandering, there is no beginning, there is no end. I walked alone, unaccompanied, but I always wanted to find a friend who was gentle with me. Until one day, I met her, she smiled at me and stroked my cheek, and at that moment I knew that I had finally fulfilled the wish of my dream. That's where the inspiration for my work comes in. ”

The guild leader complimented, "It seems that your work is very poetic! After the mayor finished speaking, he then announced: "This work of Zhi, after the three of us, will be selected as the second prize work." The reason for the award is: this work cleverly uses the moon as the main body of pottery, and the scene of the cat and the girl meeting is deeply touching, especially the workmanship of the girl and the cat, which can be described by four words, which shows that the author not only has sufficient imagination and creativity, but also has a solid production foundation and a very high production level. ”

"Thank you, judges."

Guild Chang announced:

"The prize of the second prize is 2,000 monthly coins, an official certificate of award certification from Pottery Town, and the priority of next year's clay procurement, as well as a rare jade clay."

Everyone looked at the rare jade mud given, although it was not much, but looking at the weight, it was probably worth 2,000 monthly coins.

Brother Geng said to Zhi: "Boy, you have made a fortune, this is something that is difficult to buy even if you have money, and selling these is enough for you to make a thousand eight hundred." ”

Zijin was a little surprised when she heard Brother Geng say this, she never knew that jade mud was so expensive, look at what she could get, and then calculate the amount of money when she made it to Zigui, and sold it to Zigui herself, and the price she paid made Zhi lose too much.

Zijin was thinking about it when he heard the mayor speak: "Okay, let's announce the first place next, and the number of the first place work is No. 101." Who is the author of work 101? ”
