Chapter 178: Pottery Competition

The three days passed quickly, and the pottery competition officially began.

This competition was organized by the imperial court, and the scale was unprecedented, and the entire Chang'an City was full of lights, so it was not lively.

Early in the morning, the square of the game was crowded with people, and it can be said that it was crowded and full.

As seeded players, the Zheng family was placed on a special seat, and officials came forward to greet Zheng Yingcai, apparently trying to build a good relationship with them and try to profit after the match.

Face to face with the Zheng family, officially Li Jiazhuang led by Li Hao.

Although it only appeared for three days, the novel material of glass still attracted the love of countless people, and Lijiazhuang was in the limelight, so that the organizers of the competition did not dare to underestimate them, and they were also set up as seeded players.

"Young master, the glass cup has been in the limelight recently, should we make an emergency plan?" A henchman looked at the confident smile on Li Hao's face opposite, and his heart was a little drumming.

Zheng's pottery technology is famous all over the world, and it has won the championship of the pottery competition for three consecutive years. Ceramics can already be regarded as their façade in some respects, and if this competition comes out in case, although the Zheng family's business will not be affected, it will not be able to pass on their faces.

"Why worry!" Zheng Yingcai was also full of confidence here, he would think of the glass wine glass he saw when he secretly sneaked into Cuiweiju that day, and he couldn't help but sneer.

Although it was only at first sight, the crystal of the glass made Zheng Yingcai stunned for a long time, but if you think about it carefully, no matter how beautiful the glass is, it is just a bare cup, where can it compare to the charm of ceramics? If Li Hao wants to win the competition with a glass cup, it is simply naïve!

Soon, with the order of the examiner of the competition, the pottery competition officially began.

The pottery vendors have been gearing up to take out the treasures of their own town stores, and they want to take advantage of this competition to make a splash.

According to the number plates they received, they put exquisite porcelain on the stage one by one and accepted the observation of the judges and all the people present.

The judges carefully observed these works and scored them carefully, and the people on the scene also voted for the scores in their hands to the major merchants according to their own preferences.

Those who are allowed to participate in the competition are the top figures in the pottery industry, and the entries they bring out are all excellent pottery. Not only is the workmanship exquisite, but the carving is also full of art, and the strokes are lifelike and beautiful.

Li Hao quietly looked at these beautiful ceramic utensils, feeling that he was simply appreciating the splendid civilization of the year before China.

It's a pity that the thinking of the major merchants participating in the competition is somewhat limited, and the things taken out are either cups and plates, not cups and bowls or bottles.

Both the audience and the examiners present began to look forward to what kind of works Zheng Jia and Li Jiazhuang would give.

Two hours later, the works of the major merchants were finally displayed, and the Zheng family, as the finale, finally appeared on the stage.

A beautifully shaped wooden box was slowly pushed onto the stage under the gaze of everyone.

Zheng Yingcai, as the representative of the Zheng family, personally showed it to everyone.

He first respectfully hugged his fists at the examiner and the audience, and then Langsheng said.

"This is the Zheng family's entry!"

As he spoke, he slapped hard, and the cabinet immediately split and scattered, and a furious-eyed unicorn made of ceramic broke out of the cabinet and appeared in front of everyone.

This unicorn is more than half a person tall, lying on the ground in a half-volt shape, retreating slightly, its muscles are tense and full of the beauty of strength, as if it is about to jump up in the next moment.

The unicorn holds a porcelain bowl in his mouth, and the bowl is painted with a map of the country. The whole work is like a whole, beautiful and amazing.

The moment they saw this work, both the examiner and the audience couldn't help but admire its beauty and the artistic connotation contained in the porcelain.

The examiner was very excited and immediately gave the Zheng family a very high evaluation.

In front of this work, all the previous entries instantly became dull. All the famous potters bowed their heads. Although I don't want to admit it, the Zheng family's pottery is indeed too far ahead of them.

His ears were full of praise, and his eyes were full of first-class or higher ratings, and the light in Zheng Yingcai's eyes shone even brighter. He turned his head to look at Li Hao, his eyes full of provocation.

If you want to defeat the Zheng family in pottery, you are still a few hundred years away!

Li Hao felt Zheng Yingcai's provocation and stood up from his chair suddenly.

He admits that the Zheng family's pottery work is exquisitely made, and it can be said to be a heirloom artifact, but I have to say that the Zheng family is still too naïve.

After all, he is still an ancient, and his thinking is not as open as that of a modern person. This artifact has a fatal flaw, if you can't deal with this shortcoming, you can't defeat yourself in giving the Zheng family a hundred years.

"Thank you Zheng Yingcai for bringing us this perfect piece on behalf of the Zheng family, and the next is the last contestant, Li Jiazhuang's entry!"

Li Hao was full of confidence, raised his hand and waved, beckoning his own team to move the entries to the stage.

Li Jiazhuang's entry was more than one person tall and was covered with a red cloth. The way of appearance coincides with the Zheng family, and there is a feeling of holding the pipa and half-covering his face.

"Hmph, with my unicorn broken box in front of you, see if you have anything else to surprise people." Zheng Yingcai snorted coldly and looked at Li Hao.

This way of appearing is indeed novel, but with Zhuyu in front, that kind of shock must be greatly reduced.

Li Hao looked calm and bowed his hand to the judges and audience.

"Next is the work of Nangong and Li Jiazhuang - Phoenix Mingyu!"

As he spoke, he waved his big hand, and several guys immediately separated around the work, and they pulled up the red cloth and forcefully divided it.

Hearing a crisp sound of tearing, the red cloth immediately split apart, turning into countless red satin and scattering around.

A crystal clear phoenix appeared in front of everyone as if it were taking off.

The flying red cloth was like a burning flame, slowly moving around the phoenix. The phoenix held its head high, and there was a great sense of shock that it was flying high and crying angrily.

Two crystal clear ceramic cups hang on the wings of the phoenix, the wings of the phoenix are environmentally friendly, and from a distance, it looks like a yin and yang Taiji diagram. The two cups are just above the yin and yang fish's eyes, and the whole work seems to be a natural thing, with an indescribable sense of harmonious beauty.

The atmosphere at the scene was heated up again, and everyone cheered involuntarily.

"Those two ceramic cups are above the yin and yang, and the yin and yang converge, which is very harmonious."

"The phoenix flutters its wings, this is a good omen!"

"Make a divine bird with a divine object, conceive an antiquity with yin and yang, perfect!"

This time, not only the examiner was amazed, but even the audience couldn't help but begin to praise the beauty of the phoenix.

The strange thing is that such a lifelike and shocking phoenix did not attract people's attention for the first time, but noticed the two small cups for the first time.

"Oops!" The moment he saw Li Jiazhuang's work, the smile on Zheng Yingcai's face disappeared instantly, his face was pale, and cold sweat crawled all over his back.

If you only talk about the pottery casting skills, the Zheng family and the Nangong brothers and sisters are not equal. Therefore, the key to winning or losing this competition lies in how to show your own works.

The presentation of the Zheng family can be described as perfect, and the visual impact is overwhelming, which directly shocked everyone.

Compared with Li Hao's careful thinking, they actually fell into a disadvantage!
