Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

After Xu Jiuzhao finished mixing the porcelain clay, he began to knead and step on it to knead the porcelain clay into blanks.

He made this process very carefully, and when he finished making the blank, Zou Hengxin also rushed to Fengyao Town and settled down.

Although there is a hotel in Fengyao Town, the living conditions are not suitable for a seventy-year-old like him.Besides, it is impossible for Master Gao to be indifferent to the point where friends come to his place and make people have nowhere to live.

Gao Daquan's home is a small two-story building on the outskirts of Fengyao Town. Zou Hengxin and his nanny lived in Gao Daquan's house.

After he had had enough rest, Zou Hengxin followed Gao Daquan to the Yunwen Porcelain Factory.

In the past few days, Fengyao Town has people coming and going, and the number of people staying there has increased sharply, but the few small hotels in Fengyao Town are overjoyed.

In addition to the antique dealers from all over the world, there are also professional fiber-stretching brokers who walk the streets and alleys, plus Baozhai who has eyesight but no money to open a store and sell goods everywhere, and guerrilla who does not open a store at all but goes to the mountains and countryside to receive goods. The team—also called land shoveling. In addition to these professional people in the antique circle looking for opportunities, there are also those newbies who wander around the periphery with little knowledge of antique collection, but are enthusiastic.

These mermaids are a mixed bag, and they have everything.Because the excavation site was blocked, they could only watch from the outside or find a new way. As a result, the Yunwen Porcelain Factory next to the Fengyao site was pierced into a sieve like the city gate tower.

They all came here to inquire about the news.

Xu Jiuzhao had several groups of people come here, he was so annoyed that he directly locked the door from the inside, and even Master Gao could only call the door when he came in.

"Xiao Xu, open the door." Master Gao knocked on the door of his own workshop against Zou Hengxin's teasing gaze.

After a while, Xu Jiuzhao opened the door: "Master Gao."

"Hmm." Master Gao stepped into the workroom with dignity, and said to Xu Jiuzhao: "This is my old friend, Zou Hengxin, you can just call him Mr. Zou."

Xu Jiuzhao looked at Zou Hengxin in a blink of an eye. Unlike Gao Daquan who was dark and thin and had an unfriendly face, Zou Hengxin had a wide body and a fat body. He was well maintained, with a healthy and rosy glow on his face.Zou Hengxin's hair is gray, and the old people's hair is very thin, and he is no exception.It's just that unlike other elderly people who don't take care of their hairstyle very carefully, Zou Hengxin's hair is well trimmed.

Zou Hengxin was also a handsome man when he was young, and he is also a handsome old man when he is old and fat.

Xu Jiuzhao took a look at his smooth forehead, the handsome old man's fashionable haircut obviously made Xu Jiuzhao couldn't hold it anymore.

"Old Zou, hello." Xu Jiuzhao slid his throat and moistened his throat.

Zou Hengxin was quite satisfied with Xu Jiuzhao's first impression. This child has straight eyebrows, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose bridge, and double eyelids.Those eyes were lined by double eyelids, not to mention how clear they were.

The eyes are clear, the attitude is calm, the eyes are also upright, and the words are neither humble nor overbearing.He is a rare and stable young man, and he is indeed a stable one as Gao Daquan said.

Zou Hengxin said with a smile: "It's also good for you, you can go about your own business, we two are talking here."

Xu Jiu responded with a yes, but he didn't really walk away. Instead, he was busy serving tea, water, and fruit to the two old people, until he was sure that the two people really didn't need him, and then walked away and sat in front of the workbench. Get on with your work.

"How is it? Is your character good?" Gao Daquan said quietly and proudly.

"It's okay." Zou Hengxin didn't want to make Gao Daquan more proud, so he pretended not to care.

"Hmph." Just pretend, don't think I didn't see you keep looking at people secretly!

At the beginning, Xu Jiuzhao was distracted to pay attention to the movements of the two whisperers, but later he was absorbed in the work at hand.He didn't think much about it, after all, there were too many people in the past two days, maybe this one came to see the excitement.

What Master Gao is pursuing is to completely restore the ancient porcelain-making process, and strive to leave no traces of modern industry. Of course, the casting in this studio is completely done by hand.

Modern mass-produced porcelain is all finished by grouting, and the so-called high-end porcelain on the market is also grouting products, but the raw materials are better.

The cost of grouting is very low, as long as the mold is used, the same product can be produced, and there is no need for the drawing master to judge whether it is consistent with eyesight.

The real ceramic works of art are all hand-drawn by drawing masters and potters.It's just that people use electric billet drawing machines, and Xu Jiuzhao finally returned to the modern age, and had to use purely human power to drive the billet drawing machine.

There is a rotating shaft under the turntable in front of him, and there is a small hole on the top of the rotating shaft, and a rocker is inserted in the hole. People need to shake it from time to time to make the turntable on this side rotate.

Hand-drawing is a very labor-intensive job, plus you need to turn the rocker by yourself, Xu Jiuzhao was sweating all over in a short while.

Usually, there would be an apprentice in the house who was in charge of the joystick here, but after Xu Jiuzhao came, Master Gao directly transferred the apprentice away, and usually let Xu Jiuzhao and Feng Zhongbao interact with each other when drawing billets. Give the opponent a rocker.The beautiful name is: deepen the experience.

Originally, Xu Jiuzhao had made an agreement with Feng Zhongbao today, but after returning home, Master Gao suddenly came back with a friend, and Xu Jiuzhao’s mobile phone was left in the dressing room, so he could only go to the archaeological site to see the rare Feng Zhongbao said that he is asking for more blessings.

Master Gao frowned, seeing how hard he was, he just sat there and shook the joystick for him.

Xu Jiuzhao hurriedly said: "Master Gao, you can't do it!" He jumped out of old sayings as soon as he was in a hurry. Fortunately, people now only think that he has a bit of an old style, and they don't think that this person has a wrong soul.

Master Gao raised his eyelids and said, "I'm not too old to do anything!"

Zou Hengxin laughed, Gao Daquan is not convinced by the youngest.

But Tall has a strong body, there is no major problem, and there is no problem with the joystick for a short time.The artificial rocker is always not as fast as the electric one, and there are also problems with uneven speed, but it is these small problems that make it different from the modern electric drawing.

Seeing his insistence, Xu Jiuzhao had no choice but to sit tensely in front of the wheel, dipping water from the bucket next to it, and operating on the constantly rotating blank.

I saw that he first hugged the cylinder with both hands, and kept pushing towards the middle. The billet was squeezed by him, and quickly rose high to the center. Press down slowly.

From the size and shape of the blank, Zou Hengxin could tell at a glance that Xu Jiuzhao was pulling a round bowl.Although there are no standard specifications and sizes for ceramic round wares, among the major categories of production, only bowls are suitable for the blanks in Xu Jiuzhao's hands.Although it looks like a basin from the current blank.

However, it should be considered that the blank will become smaller during firing, and often the blank is larger than the finished product. How to grasp the size after firing requires learning and experience accumulation.

Zou Hengxin didn't know that Xu Jiuzhao was rich in experience, so he could only think that he was self-taught through learning.I was amazed by this. Generally speaking, it takes 2 or 3 years to be a teacher for light drawing, but this child has only studied for half a year or half a year!

Xu Jiuzhao raised the nest, his left hand went deep into the nest, and his right hand was outside.Two hands and four fingers squeeze and pull the mud nest, expanding upward or outward from time to time, making the extension of the mud nest thinner.

Xu Jiuzhao's fingers moved lightly on the blank, and the blank in his hand became thinner and thinner with his movements, the bowl became bigger and bigger, and the sides of the bowl became lower and lower.

Master Gao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, he thought Xu Jiuzhao would make a small mouth bowl, but it turned out to be a shallow bowl with an open mouth?

This kind of bowl is much more technically demanding than a small mouth bowl.

The body of the bowl gradually took shape in Xu Jiuzhao's hands, looking round, chunky and cute.Master Gao looked at it and nodded secretly. Basically, the bowl is almost finished.

After shaking for a long time, although Master Gao's mouth was stiff, he actually felt tired.

When he thought it was time to end, Xu Jiuzhao didn't expect to get wet again, and only used the four fingertips of both hands to face each other, and continued to squeeze against the bowl.

This is? !

The two old men were taken aback.

The movements in Master Gao's hands stopped involuntarily. After the inertia passed, the turntable slowly stopped, and Xu Jiuzhao, who was completely focused on casting, came back to his senses.

"..." Xu Jiuzhao raised his head and looked at the person blankly, why did he stop, he was just enjoying himself.He never thought about what he exposed under his concentration this time.

Zou Hengxin and Master Gao exchanged glances, both of them were shocked by Xu Jiuzhao's attempt, and they were absolutely right about what they did just now.Xu Jiuzhao is going to continue to make the walls of the bowl thinner!

The current bowl body is fired, and the bowl wall is only about 2.5-3 mm thick, and if it is any thinner, it will enter the ultra-thin range.The ultra-thin bowl that is completely hand-drawn cannot be pulled out in just half a year of study, or even 2 or 3 years of study. It requires more than ten years of hard work!

Zou Hengxin poked Master Gao, he shouldn't have asked this question.

Master Gao glared at him when he stabbed him, and asked with a bit of incredulity and caution: "Xiao Xu, do you still want to continue drawing blanks?"

Xu Jiuzhao nodded because he didn't understand: "Yes."

This time he intends to show the carcass. The previous plum vase was thick, so let him show the skill of making it thin.

"Heh, heh." Master Gao said with a dry smile: "I see that your bowl is pulling smoothly, do you have any ideas for the next step?" , so as not to be frightened by this monstrous evildoer to the old, the old, the family!

But Xu Jiuzhao misunderstood it, and he realized belatedly whether he was overacting.Shouldn't he be showing that he knows this technique?Or is it actually just enough to pull it up to the current level?

But it's even more strange to say no now.He said it all.

"..." Pursing his lips, Xu Jiuzhao had no choice but to say vaguely: "I pull it by feeling, and I feel a little worse."

The answer made the two old men completely dizzy with their eyes staring at gold stars. They pulled the billet like this based on their feelings, and they planned to continue to draw an ultra-thin one based on their feelings.

Is this evildoer going against the sky? !
