Chapter 348 Improvement of Coal Sand and Mud
Chapter 340 IX Improvement of Coal Sand and Mud

Mr. Liu felt that researching this was purely full of food, so he laughed and said, "Isn't this just looking for trouble? What can you do with this whole thing?"

Uncle Shitou is the direct beneficiary of high-tech, and said with a smile: "Old Liu, don't say that, we don't understand things that young people do now, things that my old Wang family can't figure out for more than a dozen generations, Piwa and his elder brother brought a set of equipment, and it was done with a couple of snaps, I really have to be convinced..."

In the next few days, Li Junge started to run around again.

In Pan'ao Township, I discussed the repair plan with Elder Sun and the elder brother.

Turn over on the ground, and follow Uncle A Chong to study the construction of the large wooden structure of the Miao family.

In Xiaomei, study the stone bridges, pavilions, and pavement along the Qingshi old path.

Zhu Chaoan supervised the construction progress of the two restaurants.

This time, he returned to his own profession, and he was able to speak for himself everywhere. Finally, he no longer had to provoke the eyes of his fellow villagers when he was doing farm work. Li Junge felt that he had finally regained his own value.

While bathing the six boars in Lanchang that day, the uncle from Baimi Township called and said that the process of coal sand pots had made progress and asked him to come over.

He rushed to the uncle's house with A Yin, and Li Junge found that the uncle's house had changed.

The bamboo forest next to the house disappeared, and a large shed was erected, with four stoves in a row underneath.

Now the main work is arranged there, and my uncle has hired a lot of people, and it is almost three shifts.

Next to the greenhouse, apart from the various orchid pots Lijiagou needs, there are new series of cooking utensils.

The function remains the same, but once the style is changed, the market will open immediately. Now there are even orders from Yuzhou and Shudu. Jinlao and Brother Liu have ordered hundreds of sets in the hotel. Not only the uncle and cousin find it incredible, but also Even Li Junge himself was unbelievable.

So now Li Junge is beside his uncle, holding a pot and looking over and over again, trying to understand the magic of the shape of the coal sand pot.

After looking at it for a long time, I still didn’t understand, so I had to ask my uncle: “This is the award-winning design? Isn’t it too simple? This handle is not a rear inlay, but a groove and protrusion on the tank body, which is a bit like a fish gill. , but holding it is much more comfortable than before.”

The uncle also didn't understand: "Not only is it comfortable to hold, but the strength is also higher. Ordinarily, the changes are not major, just a few arcs, and there are no colors, but it looks comfortable and is more comfortable to use."

"Now I feel that coal sand tanks are born to look like this, and the full length of those before is crooked!"

"After hearing what Qiu girl said, she won a design award. It is a classic idea of ​​post-modern minimalist style. There are piles of new words, and I can recognize every word. I don't know what it means when I put them together."

Li Junge laughed loudly: "Don't talk about it, it's really like what you said when it's placed there, I think people are born to be like this."

The uncle also laughed and said: "This set has six different designs. Some businesses must have dozens of sets. I don't understand. Which family would buy six or seven coal sand tanks at a time for their home?"

Ayin laughed and said, "Uncle, don't tell me you really have it. I saw it at Uncle Bamboo Carpenter's house. But Aunt Liangzi used it to make flower pots, and put a set of floral works on a shelf. It's very beautiful."

At this time, the grandfather came back with a load of mud, put down the burden and said, "Piwa is here? Come, come, let's talk at the old stove."

Li Junge and A Yin followed my grandfather to the old stove, and my grandfather took out a cloth bag from a wooden cabinet where tools were placed, and said to Li Junge: "Pi Wa, look, this is the improved coal sand pot material I used Get it out, let's see if it works."

Li Junge opened the cloth bag, and there was a small silver-gray pot on it.

It is not accurate to say that it is silver-gray, the base color should be black, but because of a layer of metallic luster, under natural light, the white reflection is superimposed on the base color, and it appears as a dreamlike silver-gray.

Turn the pot.Because of the existence of different radians in the positions of spout, handle and lid button, black and silver form a magical transition on the body of the pot.

The key is that there are still some ice flowers on the body of the pot, which are not only like crystal clusters, but also like pine flowers formed in preserved eggs, large and small, scattered on the body of the pot, which is more eye-catching than the silver-gray background, and looks shining , injecting a burst of vitality into the small pot, making the small pot more agile, reflecting a natural and harmonious aesthetic feeling.

A Yin was very surprised: "It's so beautiful! This... how did you make it?"

Li Junge scratched his forehead and said: "Is this made of coal sand pot material? Why is it so delicate? What's the matter with this pine flower? I'll take a video and send it to Qiu girl. How does this thing look like?" It's not like ordinary goods!"

After shooting a video and sending it to Qiu Yatou via WeChat, Li Junge said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, tell me how you made it."

Grandpa smiled and said, "Didn't we add a new stove at home, so we'll use these two old ones to tinker with them."

"The last time your uncle went to Lijiagou to deliver coal sand pots, he saw the pharmacist making medicine, grinding stones in the water, and then only taking the upper layer. The pulp that comes out is very fine. I heard it is ancient method, called the 'flying water method'."

"We tried it when we came back. We got a few tanks of fine pulp, and the things we burned were much more detailed. How about it? Is it okay?"

Li Junge said: "Where is it okay? It's simply too good. What's the matter with Songhua?"

Grandpa laughed and said, "This pine flower is still inspired by you. Didn't you want us to add some other things for experimentation? Hehehe, in fact, this thing is very simple, just take..."

Li Junge immediately reached out to stop Grandpa and said, "Stop! This is a core secret, Grandpa, you have to be careful! You can't talk about this stuff."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "With modern technology, it may take only a few minutes to crack this secret, but no matter whether it is valuable or not, we can go to apply for a patent first. Regardless of whether it works or not, let us stand on our own. Let’s talk about the invincible place.”

A Yin also realized this problem: "Yes, this matter has to be done right away. By the way, what is the effect of this pot?"

Grandpa said: "I don't know if it's an illusion, anyway, I like to use it to make tea. I think it tastes better than other cups and teapots."

Li Junge smiled at A Yin: "Is there any doubt about the efficacy of the coal sand tank? The carbon coating on the surface is the most important, because it is chemically stable. Just look at the ink, it will not rot for a thousand years."

"Now all cooking utensils and drinking utensils, even pottery and porcelain, have metal ions on the surface, which is determined by the nature of the glaze mud itself. Only it can be completely isolated and maintain the original taste of tea, hahaha, Does that make sense?"

A Yin rolled his eyes: "You can say that you are dead, you can say that it doesn't make sense, you can't count it, you have to pass the test."

Li Junge dug out the tea leaves and brewed a pot, and was about to try it. Grandpa went to the cabinet and took out a few cups, and said: "What I did was thinking about it. I just made the design of the teacher of the Academy of Fine Arts smaller. know if it's appropriate."

Li Junge picked up the cup and found that it was really in the shape of a coal sand pot designed by someone else, but the two handles were just enough to hold two fingers. It seems that the designer is serious and authentic, no matter how big or small the thing is, it fits properly Human engineering and aesthetics.

Looking at the cup over and over again, Li Junge couldn't put it down, and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, can this mud be finer?"

Grandpa took the cup over, flicked the wall with his finger, and said, "Listen, it's not as compact as clay, but it also has advantages, that is, it's lighter in weight, better in heat preservation, and won't burn your hands when you hold it. We experimented After many times, this is the best solution, no matter how thin it is, the carbon will not be attached."

Li Junge poured out the tea, first handed a cup to his grandfather, then to A Yin, picked up a cup, smelled it, took another sip, and tasted it with his eyes closed.

Both A Yin and Grandpa watched him with bated breath, waiting for him to say one, two, three.

Li Junge opened his eyes, and seeing the old and the young staring at him intently, he said embarrassingly: "Hey! You don't have to look at me like this, what can I taste? Is there more of this thing? I have to give it to Guoshan Master, Aunt Liangzi, and Uncle Wangcai should be sent for trial use. They are experts in tea! But I feel that they are no worse than Uncle Wangcai and Master Guoshan’s teapots.”

Grandpa was furious: "I don't know how to taste tea and I'm still pretending!"

Li Junge laughed loudly and said: "I don't blame me for this, those few people who use teapots are only known for being particular. I have been with them for a long time, and I was led into the ditch without knowing it."

After finishing speaking, he said: "This mud is almost done, but I'm afraid the craft of making pots has to be learned. Although the modeling of coal sand mud should be simple and thick, but simple and thick does not mean that the craftsmanship is rough. Or Tell my cousin to go out to study for a few years? But it’s a long way to go, and I have to go to Yixing, which is the holy place for pottery masters.”

At this time, the mobile phone placed beside the pot rang, Li Junge picked it up and looked at WeChat, and said with a smile: "I want to go for the time being, but I can't go. The director of the Art Design Department of the Academy of Fine Arts will come tomorrow, and he will design the shape of the coal sand tank for us." That one, it seems that this coal-sand clay tea set has caught people's eyes."

Grandpa said: "Oh, you have to treat them well. They are equivalent to a design that saved our workshop. Now the demand for casserole pots is in short supply. It's all thanks to this person, and we didn't charge a penny from our family. It’s serious. You can’t leave today, Piwa, you’ve seen a lot of the world, so I need you to come up with an idea on how to entertain people.”

Li Junge nodded and said: "Although it's Qiu Yatou's mentor Ding Lao's face, but the things are actually done by her. Although she may not like the hospitality in our country, we must show our attitude and enthusiasm. In this way, I will rush to Jiachuan tonight, and I will receive someone to deliver it in person tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Li Junge stood guard at Jiachuan Wharf, waiting for someone there.

After a while, a bright blue MINI CONTRYMAN drove over. There were two white stripes on the front cover of the car, and the two rearview mirrors were also white. Li Junge grinned secretly when he saw it, thinking that this car was really aggressive.

As a result, a little girl got off the back seat, looked at him and waved: "Brother Erpi! Are you here to pick us up?"

Li Junge took a look, oh, Li Hanqiu!I never thought that the headmaster of the art design institute would drive such a coquettish car. I don't know if he just shrugged his mouth and saw it.

A young man wearing an orange tennis cap got out of the car, not more than two years older than Li Junge. He took the big backpack that Li Hanqiu helped him carry and slung it over his shoulder: "Hey man! You are that funny second-hand man, right?"
