In her previous life, Zhong Meihui took Han Qi and Han Chu to participate in parent-child activities. One of them was pottery making. She also tried it and found that pottery making was not complicated, and she was quite talented in this area. She made it with clay. The cups and vases were in good shape, and Han Qi and Han Chu received rewards.

However, the difficulty in this matter lies in the firing. If the heat is not controlled well, a complete finished product cannot be produced. When she participated in a parent-child event, the firing part was uniformly fired by the event organizer, and Zhong Meihui did not If you don't master the essentials, you still have to find a pottery master to learn systematically.

Zhong Meihui first asked the third brother-in-law of the Chu family, but he was helpless in this matter. There were many people he knew who could do carpentry, but few people could do such a professional thing as pottery making.

"Let me ask the teachers at school. Maybe they have clues." Chu Shou became Zhong Meihui and used all her connections to find some useful information.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off. Chu Shoucheng quickly received a reply from Wei Shanwei. He told Chu Shoucheng that there used to be a master kiln maker in Mingjia Town. The things he made were of excellent quality and could be directly exported abroad, but he had already retired. After many years, I don’t know if I can invite him to come out again.

"It would be great to have this person. Teacher Wei, please take us to visit this old man, and we will find a way to persuade him." Chu Shoucheng felt that he could finally help Zhong Meihui for once, and immediately went to find the old man with Wei Shanwei. A master pottery maker.

The master’s surname is Luo. He is in his sixties. He left his hometown to study art when he was a teenager and did not return until he retired. The homestead and house in the village had long been divided up by brothers from the same clan. He He had no choice but to move to a mountain stream and live a secluded life. This is why almost no one in the town has heard of him.

It is said that he was married and had children in his early years, but because he focused his salary and energy on pottery, his wife couldn't bear it anymore, so she married someone else with her children, and there was no news from him again.

Master Luo, who lives alone, is even more obsessed with pottery. He has won many honors for the patterns and types of pottery he has researched. Unfortunately, he is old and can no longer complete many patterns and pottery shapes independently. After retirement, he was not able to be made by the factory. If you are re-employed here, you can only return to your hometown and return to your roots.

However, Wei Shanwei liked Master Luo very much. He had met him before when he was studying in the city and felt that the pottery he made was very spiritual and much better than many so-called masters.

Wei Shanwei once tried to put his paintings on the pottery made by Master Luo. The two of them jointly designed a set of works and used it to participate in the competition. Unfortunately, the Grand Prix competition was full of shady things. Their works were rejected as soon as they passed the preliminary test. People came down, and the final grand prize was awarded to a disciple of a master potter.

"Actually, I have been disappointed in the city for the past few years. Without a financial background, I am nothing. It is impossible to get ahead. Otherwise, Master Luo and I would have already had our own masterpieces and opened a studio to sell them. Pottery is possible.”

Wei Shanwei has been completely disappointed with the selection system of those grand prix competitions. As long as those people see that he comes from a small county, they will preconceptions that it is impossible for him to have an artistic and aesthetic vision to pass the preliminary round. , it is already considered as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

"We're just ahead. Master Luo lives in that courtyard." Wei Shanwei pointed to a small wooden house in the distance. This wooden house was not large, but the materials used to build it were good and looked extremely strong.

"Does Master Luo live here by himself? How does he make a living?" Chu Shoucheng felt that Master Luo was a little pitiful. Although the house he lived in was nice, it was too remote and there were not many people nearby. He was an old man living here alone. Even eating is difficult.

"Master Luo's pension is not low. He spent his life's savings to build this house. There is also a kiln he built himself in the back. He usually bakes some of his favorite things here, and his nephews will also do it from time to time. With those rice grains coming over, life is not bad."

Wei Shanwei said that when Master Luo returned to the village, he asked to return to his parents' old house to live. At that time, the yard was already occupied by his eldest and second brothers. The village chief made mediation and gave Master Luo land in the mountain stream to build a new house. , and the children of his eldest brother and second brother need to help build the house and take care of Master Luo.

Everyone can accept this mediation result, and everything has been peaceful for so many years. Moreover, Master Luo likes to live in the mountains and slowly study pottery making. If he were in the village, he would not have such unique conditions.

"Shou Cheng, this Master Luo is a god. He even digs the soil for making pottery nearby, and uses his own secret recipe to mix different types of soil. The pottery produced is also unique. "

Wei Shanwei admired Master Luo very much, which made Chu Shoucheng even more curious. He felt that Master Luo was probably as unappreciated as Wei Shanwei and lived in poverty. If that was the case, Zhong Meihui's video shooting this time could just help him. Maybe He can sell the pottery he designed and let more people know him as a master craftsman.

When Chu Shoucheng and Wei Shanwei rushed to the wooden house, Master Luo had just fired a batch of tea sets. These tea sets had different shapes and beautiful glaze colors. It looked like they were made by an experienced master craftsman.

"Master Luo, your craftsmanship is really good. Has anyone ordered this tea set? If not, can you sell it to me?" Chu Shoucheng wanted to buy a tea set and go back to show it to Zhong Meihui. If she thinks Master Luo's craftsmanship is up to par, she will ask for it. Learn about pottery.

"I'm going to buy them at the market in western Zhejiang. If you like them, you can choose a set for 50 yuan." Master Luo loves to make pottery, but the monthly material cost is a lot of money. There is not enough money at all, so I can only go to the market from time to time to sell some pottery to support my family.

He also knew that this selling price underestimated his pottery, but he had no other choice. After all, the county's consumption power was such that he could not sell it at a good price.

"50 for a set? Not a cup?" Chu Shoucheng felt that these pottery were too cheap, so he immediately wrapped up all the pottery and took it back to Zhong Meihui to see.

Wei Shanwei also explained Chu Shoucheng's purpose to Master Luo. After learning that there were young people who liked pottery, Master Luo was particularly happy and was willing to give all his life's profits to Zhong Meihui.

Zhong Meihui, who was waiting at home, saw the ceramics brought back by Chu Shoucheng and felt that there was an expert on the mountain. She immediately decided to become a disciple and set the filming location of the video at Master Luo's residence.
