Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

Since one of the teachers and students settled in Shanghai and the other returned to his hometown, they met less frequently.However, Xu Jiuzhao, who respects the teacher, still calls the teacher every week to greet him, which makes Zou Hengxin very happy.It's still the little disciple who seems caring. Those two students are so busy that they don't see anyone all year round, and they don't make half as many phone calls as Xu Jiuzhao.

Of course, this cannot be completely blamed on those two senior brothers.The bond between teachers and students in modern times is much weaker than the previous master-student relationship.What's more, the busyness of modern life has greatly reduced the number of times they see their parents every year.Xu Jiuzhao, who also regarded Zou Hengxin as the only teacher, was earnestly saying hello and greetings, and the comparison between the two senior brothers was immediately scumbag.

They came directly from Beijing, and then planned to fly back to Shanghai from Shijiazhuang.The kang cabinet and two pieces of porcelain were checked together, and only the hemp warehouse soil was carried because it was too precious.

Both the teacher and the student were very happy to meet, and they learned about the recent situation on the phone. Xu Jiuzhao told the teacher what he had seen and heard in Beijing.

"Oh? Is it really Ma Cangtu?" Zou Hengxin's eyes lit up immediately.As long as it is an artist who has inherited traditional ceramics, there is no one who does not know the preciousness of this soil material.

Xu Jiuzhao nodded, he glanced at Jiang Xin, and Jiang Xin took the earth material out of the luggage bag.

Zou Hengxin put on his presbyopic glasses, looked carefully for a long time, nodded and said: "Well, it really fits the various characteristics of Ma Cangtu." Then he straightened up and sighed: "You are really lucky to meet such A kind of porcelain clay that has been extinct for nearly 300 years.”

Xu Jiuzhao pursed his lips, but did not speak.

At that time, it was still necessary to distinguish the difference from Jiang Xin, but he could tell at a glance that it was Ma Cangtu.

This kind of soil material is said to have been extinct since the early Ming Dynasty, but in fact it has only been exhausted and has not reached the state of extinction.

Exhausted resources could not support large-scale production, and the last earth materials were stored away. These earth materials were reserved to serve the royal family, and of course the folks would not see them.Occasionally, when designated by the royal family, these soil materials will be used to make a small amount of porcelain.

By the time of Xu Jiuzhao, the stock of Ma Cangtu was indeed not much, but there were still one or two parties.Xu Jiuzhao thought that this lump of soil should have flowed from the imperial kiln factory.Xu Jiuzhao can't tell about these things that later generations don't know.

Zou Hengxin looked at Ma Cangtu, and he couldn't put it down.Xu Jiuzhao said with a smile: "Since the teacher likes it, you can keep this Ma Cangtu."

Zou Hengxin raised his head in surprise: "How can this be done? Such a precious thing."

Jiang Xin also said: "Old Zou, I will give you this piece of soil. This extinct porcelain clay is only valuable in your hands." When Jiang Xin said this, there was a little blood in Jiang Xin's heart.In fact, when I saw this clay for the first time, I thought that Xu Jiuzhao would take this kind of porcelain clay to participate in the French International Biennale, which would provide a lot of guarantee for Jiuzhao to win the award.

But now that Zou Hengxin likes it very much, that's all he can say.Who made the other party equivalent to Xu Jiuzhao's natal family, and he wanted to try his best to please him.

Zou Hengxin frowned: "No, it's too expensive." Such an extinct soil material can be said to be more valuable than gold.

Jiang Xin said: "It's not that expensive, I just bought it for [-]."

Zou Hengxin said: "You can pick up the leaks. It can't be counted like that."

Xu Jiuzhao sincerely wanted to honor Zou Hengxin, and he persuaded him harmoniously.And Zou Hengxin really liked it, so after hesitating for a while, he came up with an idea.

"Well, I'll keep a little. It's useless if I want too much of this thing." Zou Hengxin broke off a fist-sized piece from the soil lump, "I can make a display board with this piece."

Zou Hengxin held up the clod the size of a fist, and said with satisfaction: "It is worth it for my old man to have a piece of porcelain made of Macang soil." Then he looked at Xu Jiuzhao and said, "The remaining Jiuzhao You just take it back. Aren’t you going to France to participate in the exhibition? Just use this piece of hemp warehouse soil as a material, and it will be No. 1 to win our glory.”

To be honest, although Ma Cang soil is precious, Xu Jiuzhao never thought of taking advantage of it to participate in the exhibition.He felt that even ordinary porcelain clay could turn decay into magic in his hands.It has to be said that it is a kind of self-confidence that can only be obtained after being in the realm of a master.

Jiang Xin was happy when the situation turned around, and he also said: "Yes, Jiuzhao. It can be used to create works for the exhibition."

Zou Hengxin asked people to put away the small piece of soil, and Jiang Xin also put away the rest.

Zou Hengxin said: "Macang soil can be used directly without any preparation, but you have to remember to carefully remove the particles and impurities. I have also mentioned the characteristics of the finished product of Ma Cang soil porcelain, you should make good use of it. This point, the targeted design works that highlight this point."

"I understand, teacher." Xu Jiuzhao nodded.

Macang soil has very good light transmission.Even if the porcelain made of top-quality porcelain clay is as thick as one centimeter, the light can penetrate the porcelain body to reveal a hazy light.And those made of bad porcelain clay are not transparent at all, and they are very heavy.

Therefore, when making works, we must take this characteristic of Asakang soil into consideration.

After listening to Zou Hengxin's advice, Xu Jiuzhao had some ideas, but he had to think about how to do it.

The two stayed at Zou Hengxin's place for one day, and flew back to Shanghai the next day.

A few days later, Xu Jiuzhao received a call from Lord Terrazzini, who invited him to go to Europe.

Terrazzini spared no effort to radiate the charm of "Star Girl" to his circle of friends, and finally slowly fermented, attracting collectors from all over Europe to attend his party.All of a sudden, being invited to participate in Terrazzini's gathering turned out to be a very honorable event in the European collection circle.

At this point, even if Terrazzini didn't take the initiative to promote it, Xu Jiuzhao's name is already familiar to everyone.

Terrazzini had to invite the creator to make an official appearance.

Wu Miao was very excited when she found out: "Little brother! You must come, no matter what, this is your first appearance in the European art circle, no matter what, you can't miss it!!"

Wu Miao's voice penetrated the phone, forcing Xu Jiuzhao to hold it farther away.

"But, I've been busy recently." Xu Jiuzhao was really worried. With the orders from Belgium and the design of exhibits, he really didn't have the heart to show his face.

"No! Even if you temporarily give up this biennale, you must find time to come." Wu Miao said without any room for change.

Jiang Xin reached out to Xu Jiuzhao, Xu Jiuzhao glanced at him, and then handed him the phone.

Jiang Xin said: "I will definitely go, but I can't delay the biennale. I will contact Lord Terrazzini in person to confirm the specific itinerary with him."

"..." Wu Miao felt as if she had been robbed of her manager's job, "Okay then, you can look at the arrangements. In short, this trip is very important for improving Jiuzhao's reputation."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jiuzhao frowned: "Are you really going abroad? Isn't it a waste of time?"

Jiang Xin smiled, raised his hand to rub Xu Jiuzhao's cheek, and then kissed Xu Jiuzhao's frowning brows: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements and it won't take too long."

Now Xu Jiuzhao's life is mostly taken care of by Jiang Xin, not to mention food, clothing, housing and transportation, even Xu Jiuzhao's work schedule will be handed over to Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin will list the time plan very carefully, and Xu Jiuzhao only needs to follow the schedule, and he can accomplish many things with ease.

It stands to reason that a ceramic artist like Xu Jiuzhao, who independently undertakes the workload of a studio, should hire a special assistant, but Jiang Xin is reluctant to hand over this work to others, and just manages it himself.

Under Jiang Xin's arrangement, Xu Jiuzhao was able to set aside ten days.Jiang Xin's plan is very good. This time I can go abroad with Xu Jiuzhao for a tour.

After making the itinerary, the two of them set off for Belgium. After arriving in Belgium, Wu Miao had already arranged a place to stay.

"By the way, Jiuzhao, did you bring any clothes for the banquet?" After settling in the hotel, Wu Miao patted her head in annoyance: "It's all because Jiang Xin interrupted halfway that day, I forgot to remind you."

Jiang Xin squinted at him: "Your manager is too bad, you can even forget about this." Jiang Xin opened the suitcase and put the clothes inside into the closet: "I have already brought them, I really hope You're blind now."

Wu Miao said unconvinced: "Although I forgot to remind, it's not that I can't think of other ways. Temporary rental is also fine. It's not that everyone will prepare a new set of clothes for a banquet. The clothing store undertakes this kind of business.”

Jiang Xin said directly: "I'm just afraid that you are like this, and you really let Jiuzhao wear clothes worn by others?" Jiang Xin looked at Wu Miao with the eyes of a sinner.

Wu Miao said helplessly: "Everyone has to be thoroughly disinfected and cleaned after returning home, and it's not unhygienic." The younger brother didn't say anything, but Jiang Xin had so many opinions.

Knowing how particular Jiang Xin is in such personal matters, Xu Jiuzhao said: "Anyway, we have our clothes on, so we don't need to talk about this anymore."

Wu Miao took out a tablet computer and showed it to Xu Jiu as if she had been pardoned: "Look, this is the list of people who will attend the banquet at that time. Make sure you know your faces first."

During this period of time, Wu Miao was not idle either. He focused his energy on analyzing who would be interested in Xu Jiuzhao's works.

Xu Jiuzhao felt that his head was big at a glance, and it was a bit difficult for him to distinguish these foreigners with a sudden glance.

Although he was helpless, it was not in Xu Jiuzhao's character to escape, so he could only sit there and follow Wu Miao to recognize the faces of these people and listen to him tell about the identities and backgrounds of these people.

And Jiang Xin was on the side, listening and arranging the clothes they were going to wear when they were going to the banquet.

The clothes he brought were custom-made evening dresses made for Xu Jiuzhao a long time ago, designed to fit his personal temperament completely.Guaranteeing Xu Jiuzhao's self-cultivation and comfort after wearing it can also highlight his rigorous, academic, handsome, and elegant qualities.

With a serious face, he imagined in his heart that Xu Jiuzhao would put on this dress, and Jiang Xin would drool and turn into an idiot.

The place where Terrazzini held the banquet this time was not in his own mansion, but in the lobby on the second floor of a special banquet hotel.

The number of people participating this time was so large that he had to move from the banquet hall of his home to this place that could accommodate hundreds of people.

During this period, Terrazzini held more parties than last year. Although the cost was not small, Terrazzini was particularly satisfied.

At the beginning, he didn't expect that his party would arouse such a big repercussions, and it simply aroused a new trend.After this series of gatherings, his own popularity soared, and he also made some new partners and developed new businesses.

These benefits made him love the "girl" who brought all these things to him even more.

In fact, Terrazzini himself does not like to see Jiang Xin again. Once he sees him, Mr. Lord will remember the reality that "girls" do not belong to him.

But on this night, as the host of the banquet, Jiang Xin and Xu Jiuzhao were important guests, so he had to be polite and introduce them to the guests with a smile on his face.
