Chapter 148: Let's Make Some Flower Pots First!
"Do you expect this wild chrysanthemum to make money? Who would be rare if this thing is everywhere? ”
Yun Jin looked at the wild chrysanthemums dug by Yunxi, and still couldn't hold back the ridicule, but this wild chrysanthemum was too ordinary, and it didn't look like it was valuable.
Yunxi smiled: "Sister, don't worry, it's not that you haven't done it yet, when I combine them with which roots and stones to create a natural feeling, it will be worth a lot of money at that time." ”
"Then you and Yuanyuan take it slowly, and I'll help my father prepare my brother's full moon banquet." After Yun Jin finished speaking, he told her not to be tired and not to be in the sun for a long time, and then went back to the front yard.
"Lady, how do you get it now?" Yuan Yuan asked.
How do you get it? Although Yunxi swore to Yun Jin, in fact, she didn't have a score in her own heart. What about the hair without a gold finger? The land lord is also too stingy, just with her theoretical knowledge from online books, can she really make a good bonsai?
Maybe Ye Yuan should find a master to learn painting, at least learn to appreciate, so that he can make bonsai with a more meaningful meaning. There are also poems, I also have to learn and understand more, art is all the same, I believe it will also be of great help. You can also learn to play the piano like this, and strive to be a qualified lady, although she is only the daughter of the landlord's family, but what money can do, it shouldn't be too difficult!
"Plant it in a pot first, and then I'll make a new batch of pots." Yunxi thought about it and decided not to rush the styling first.
She decided to start by customizing a suitable batch of pots. Combine with the root of the mountain stone to use a rectangular or oval bottom basin, and independent chrysanthemums need to use a square high pot, these two pots needless to say, can not be bought on the market, now the flower pots sold on the market, most of them are relatively short, not suitable for bonsai pots, of course, there are now bonsai pots, but not so much pots as cylinders, are used for large bonsai, and what Yunxi wants, is a small bonsai for indoor viewing, so she must customize a batch by herself.
Customizing pots is not troublesome, and the white pot kiln not far from the Ye family can make very good pots. Just as the porcelain of Jingdezhen benefits from the unique kaolin, the soil of the white pot kiln is particularly suitable for firing flower pots. First of all, the pot white that was burned, "I can't get out of the blue when I take the water!" ”。 The flowers raised in this white pot are better than other flowers, thanks to the ventilation of the white pot kiln, and the flowers do not rot the roots.
This is really the so-called one side of the water and soil to raise one person, white pots with flowers can be lined, breathable and permeable to feed well. But here you can't burn delicate and smooth precious porcelain, you can only burn some low-grade goods such as tiles and tiles. It is said that at the beginning, many people tried hard, but unfortunately, no matter how to toss, none of them could be fired, and in the end, it was still a flower pot that was fired in this kiln. And because the bricks and tiles fired here are not a little better than elsewhere, over time, only flower pots are produced here.
Yunxi asked Yuanyuan to go to the firewood room to pick up a few pieces of broken charcoal and draw a few sketches of pots. marked the size, and then asked Ye Yuan to draw flowers and write words for her.
To say that Ye Yuan really has nothing to say to her, he has always been very supportive of her planting flowers and grass, and he has never said that she is not doing her job. This time it was the same, Ye Yuan began to grind ink without saying a word.
"Say, what kind of flowers do you want to draw? What to write? ”
What to draw? Yunxi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum is the same." ”
"I've been preparing this good painting for a long time." Some time ago, I was going to customize the flower pot for the Shangshui stone bonsai, so Ye Yuan painted several pictures very carefully, but because he didn't find the time, he was delayed. Ye Yuan put down the pen, rummaged through the bookcase for a while, and found four pictures. "Look, how did Daddy draw? Can it be used. ”
Yunxi only glanced at it, then shook his head, "This can't work." ”
"Why not? I'm quite satisfied! Ye Yuan glared, "Your requirements are too high, Dad is at this level, you can't find someone else." ”
"Don't, Dad," Yunxi saw that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "I said no, it's not that Dad, you can't draw well, but it's too good." ”
Ye Yuan interrupted Yunxi's words, "It's too good, it's too late." ”
"Dad, listen to me," Yunxi explained seriously, "It's naturally good for your painting to be hung on the wall, but if it is to be engraved on a basin, isn't it a little too complicated?" ”
"Is it complicated?" Ye Yuan looked at the painting, "I don't think so, it's already very simple." ”
"Then unless you squat on your own pot and wait to get it yourself," Yunxi said bluntly, "Otherwise, you expect those craftsmen, do you think you can paint well?" ”
"It should ...... No, I can't. Ye Yuan thought about it carefully, yes, it is natural and convenient to draw on paper by himself, but if it is engraved on the pot, the difficulty will increase a lot, and even if those craftsmen have a foundation in painting, they may not be able to draw this, after all, they are burning flower pots, which are used to hold soil to grow flowers and grass, not expensive goods, and if the profit is not rich, it is possible to invite a painter with good craftsmanship?
"Shall we redraw then?"
Ye Yuan knew that mistakes could be changed, and he was as good as a stream, and quickly adjusted his mentality.
Yunxi smiled: "Dad, you can simply draw a few strokes, just like that." However, it is not necessary to be sloppy and to show their respective characteristics. ”
"Alas! It's harder to draw. Ye Yuan frowned and sighed, "It is both simple and meaningful, how can it be easy?" You girl is giving me trouble. ”
"Dad, you must be able to do it, I'll pour water for you, you think slowly, draw slowly, don't worry!" Yunxi smiled and said, anyway, I won't need it for a while, so I can draw it slowly. Besides, she can see that Ye Yuan's embarrassment is all pretended, it doesn't matter, doesn't she just want her to be more assy and more attentive? Although she is not very good at it, she already has a lot of experience. Serve tea, pour water, and beat your shoulders, and if you can't do it, we will also twist your arms and be coquettish.
"Yunxi, why did you say you had to bet with your sister for something, do you regret it now?" Ye Yuan asked Yunxi while painting.
"I don't regret it!" Yunxi smiled, "Dad, don't you know?" My sister and I have reconciled! ”
"Reconciled?" Ye Yuan was taken aback, he thought that the two daughters were still awkward, but he didn't expect that they would be reconciled in just a few days?
"What's going on, tell me?"
"That's right, after you told me, I also felt that I couldn't stand my sister, but I was still a little unconvinced." Yunxi said frankly, "Then I took a closer look at my sister and found that my sister was really busy, compared to her, I really did too little, so ...... I took the initiative to reconcile with my sister. ”
Ye Yuan smiled: "It's so simple, don't you tell your father in detail?" ”
"Dad just knows that we are reconciled, so I won't tell Dad in detail." Yunxi doesn't want to talk too carefully, this is not something to boast about, so let's keep a low profile.
