Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

Here is an "art village" that brings together many painters, sculptors, potters and artists... a natural formation.Because the distance from the urban area is suitable, the rent is cheap, and the environment is quiet, these low-income artists all came here to rent houses, and then gradually formed such a "village".

What Tang Xiaoyi found for Xu Jiuzhao was a big house converted from a warehouse into a house. There are many houses of this type here.The room is very high, the inside has been modified, and the basic living facilities are available.A middle building was built in the warehouse, and there is a staircase leading to the second floor in the house.

Tang Xiaoyi pointed to the stairs and said, "Going up from there is the sleeping place, and the first floor is the living room, workshop and kitchen."

There are only some basic furniture in the room, but Xu Jiuzhao has all the tools he needs to work.The first floor has a lot of space, except for a bathroom and half of the kitchen embedded in the lower second floor, the entire first floor can be said to be the scope of the workshop.

Of course, Jiang Xin would not ask Tang Xiaoyi to prepare manual and outdated tools for him. Xu Jiuzhao can finally use electrified equipment, which is really gratifying.

Xu Jiuzhao touched the brand-new electric drawing machine, and looked at a series of complete equipment such as sieving tanks, mud storage tanks, etc., and he was in a good mood.

Xu Jiuzhao took Master Miao out of the cat cage and put it on the sofa, patted its head, and found out that Master Miao's cat food was stored in the kitchen locker, then took out its imperial food bowl and filled it up Cat food.

The effect of the medicine has not yet passed, Xu Jiuzhao is not sure if Master Miao will wake up in the middle of the night.It's better to carry him to bed to sleep at night, he thought.

Because of Tang Xiaoyi's arrangement and help, Xu Jiuzhao hardly felt any fuss and fatigue during the move, and he could directly enter normal daily life after a night's rest.

Fearing that Master Miao would get lost, Xu Jiuzhao would carefully lock the doors and windows every time he went out.Fortunately, Xu Jiuzhao's new home is a very spacious place, enough for Mr. Miao to move around.

Tang Xiaoyi only prepared some utensils for him, but he didn't have some small things to shape the porcelain bodies, so Xu Jiuzhao had to buy them himself.He had inquired about it before, so he went to a special market to buy porcelain mud glaze and other ceramic-related materials.

Shanghai is a big city, and there are almost all materials here, which makes Xu Jiuzhao much more convenient.

During the outing, I ran into neighbors several times, and Xu Jiuzhao gradually became acquainted with the people living in this area.

In this area, there are not only artists who have made it to the top, but also some students who have just graduated and are confused about their future, and there are also people who have begun to become famous but are unwilling to move.

Xu Jiuzhao is smart and well-informed, and he quickly got along with some people and found out what he needed from them.

When Xu Jiuzhao moved to Shanghai this time, in addition to wanting to get in touch with similar people and learn from them, the most important thing was to visit a modern art university.

Some classes are welcome to sit in. Xu Jiuzhao has a small face and is still young. No one thinks that he is not a student of this school.

Different from the new elements of traditional ceramic art taught by Zou Hengxin, what Xu Jiuzhao has recently come into contact with is completely modern ceramic art.It is completely different from the design and production of classical ceramics.

Xu Jiuzhao found it hard to accept, but he had to force himself to follow along.

Xu Jiuzhao has been full and busy recently. 20 days later, Jiang Xin paid a surprise visit to his new home.

"When did you come back?" Xu Jiuzhao looked at him in surprise.

"I just came back last night." Jiang Xin couldn't control his eyes, and looked at him almost greedily.The two months apart this time seems to be about the same as before, but they are thousands of miles away and don't have much time to make phone calls, which makes Jiang Xin think badly.

"Come in." Xu Jiuzhao let Jiang Xin into the room.

Jiang Xin entered the house, looked up at the slightly empty house, he frowned, in his own opinion, this kind of living environment is too simple, as a studio is fine, how can he live here Woolen cloth.

Then he saw the finished blanks on the workbench, and said in surprise, "You made these?"

Xu Jiuzhao closed the door and walked to the workbench: "Yes, I'm trying modern ceramics recently."

Jiang Xin frowned and said, "Don't throw away what you are good at."

Xu Jiuzhao smiled and said, "I won't do that, it's just some experimentation."

Although they are all modern styles, Xu Jiuzhao's attempted works still have some elegant aesthetics.

Jiang Xin couldn't help holding up a porcelain bowl to look at it.This porcelain bowl is made of several maple leaf-shaped leaves and has an irregular tip on the side of the bowl.The whole body has not been glazed and fired, but it is enough to be pleasing to the eye as a plain pottery work.

"Very beautiful." Jiang Xin admired.

Xu Jiuzhao was embarrassed: "I was just imitating cats and drawing tigers. The professors in the school gave similar examples, so I tried to do it."

There is another work on Xu Jiuzhao's workbench. This one is more beautiful and more delicate. It is a bottle with a small mouth and a big belly.The mouth of this bottle is irregular, and it is composed entirely of lotus petals and extended lotus leaves, while the body of the bottle is composed of the whole lotus leaf and the scratch pattern on the stem, which is not only beautiful, but also has a three-dimensional feel.

"Very good!" Jiang Xin stared intently, "Give it to me when you finish cooking."

Xu Jiuzhao couldn't help laughing: "Okay."

After seeing his workbench, Jiang Xin visited other places, especially the bedroom on the second floor.

The second floor of the warehouse is really just a high platform, surrounded by only fences and no walls.The space above is not too big, there is only a white bed and bedside table, a small coffee table, and two chairs.

At first, I was afraid that Master Miao would not get used to changing the place, so the sleeping cat basket was also placed on this floor.This made Jiang Xin feel an eyesore.The room is quite big, and Master Miao is hiding in a corner, but it happens that Jiang Xin is out of sight and out of mind.

Jiang Xin turned to the kitchen, he frowned and said, "Why is there nothing?"

At first glance, the kitchen is neat and clean, but there are no kitchen utensils and seasonings. Jiang Xin opened the drawers on the cabinet and saw that they were all empty.

How did Tang Xiaoyi do things? !Jiang Xin was angry.

Xu Jiuzhao looked at his displeased expression, and quickly said: "I don't know how to cook, so it's useless to ask for those, and it's troublesome to scrub."

There are only basic furniture in the house, and there are no different electrical appliances, let alone a refrigerator and color TV.

Jiang Xin looked back at him: "Then how do you usually eat?"

"Order takeaway." Xu Jiuzhao said without hesitation, looking at Jiang Xin's face, he said: "There are quite a lot of takeaways in this area. They change their patterns every day, and they can eat non-stop for a week."

Although Xu Jiuzhao was speaking in a joking tone, it was true. There are basically few people who live in this area who are skilled in craftsmanship, and most of them have to rely on feeding, so a small takeaway restaurant came into being.

Jiang Xin reluctantly nodded: "It's okay to eat for a while, but it's not good for your health to eat like this for a long time." Then he asked: "Aside from eating, is there any other inconvenience?"

Xu Jiuzhao shook his head and said, "No, they are all good." Of course, they cannot all be good, but it is impossible for Xu Jiuzhao to tell Jiang Xin heartlessly.

Xu Jiuzhao didn't say anything, Jiang Xin was so thoughtful, and after careful observation, he knew what was inconvenient for Xu Jiuzhao.

The place is very large, so cleaning is a problem first. In the past, Xu Jiuzhao could use the landlord's washing machine to wash his clothes, but now he has to do it himself.

It's not that he can't do it, but he finds it troublesome and a waste of time.

Jiang Xin obviously felt that Xu Jiuzhao couldn't believe what he said, so he went out after staying for a while, and came back with a washing machine and refrigerator after more than an hour.

Xu Jiuzhao was at a loss: "You don't need to buy this, I can take it to the laundry, and I don't need the refrigerator."

Jiang Xin said calmly: "It's okay to take a large coat to the laundry, but you also have to wash your summer clothes every day? Besides, the work clothes are soiled after being exposed to muddy water every day. There is still a washing machine Good. There is a refrigerator to put some drinks and store some food, in case the takeaway is not delivered when the weather is bad."

Xu Jiuzhao was helpless: "Okay, how much is it? I'll pay you back the money in a while."

Jiang Xin paused, then said, "I'll give you the clothes later."

Xu Jiuzhao thinks that Jiang Xin feels sad because he wants to pay back the money from time to time?But he couldn't take Jiang Xin's increasingly unlimited kindness for granted.This will make Jiang Xin fall deeper and deeper.

Jiang Xin didn't speak any more, picked up the rag and quickly wiped the soiled place.Xu Jiuzhao didn't dare to stop him after he said that just now.

Xu Jiuzhao felt that he was becoming less and less confident in front of Jiang Xin.

The lunch is a takeaway, which Xu Jiuzhao thinks tastes pretty good after eating for many days.Jiang Xin felt that it was okay after eating, and her face was finally not so gloomy.

"Is it convenient to go to the city here?" Jiang Xin opened the topic.

Xu Jiuzhao said: "There are buses, every 20 minutes."

Jiang Xin thought for a while and said, "Although there are buses, it's still not as convenient as driving yourself. Why don't you buy a car?"

Qi Yan's order has been handed in, she is very satisfied, and finally added a part as a red envelope, and Xu Jiuzhao earned more than 20 yuan, which is enough to add a car.

"But I don't know how to drive." Xu Jiuzhao drove hesitantly.

"I'll teach you." Jiang Xin said without hesitation.
