Artists of the national tradition start from the puppet show

Chapter 239 The Beauty of Bai Ben (please recommend, ask for a monthly ticket)

Back in his hometown, Lin Mu felt extremely comfortable!

Although within half a year, he has become the top star in China, but for Lin Mu, he also felt physically and mentally exhausted for a while.

Especially in the previous challenge, Lin Mu truly felt the cruelty of life.

In getting along with his family, Lin Mu's tired heart was gradually soothed!

In the past few days, Lin Mu has been following his second uncle, looking at the dazzling array of puppets in the second uncle's studio, Lin Mu's hands are also itchy!

Lin Zhengshan was also dumbfounded when he saw Lin Mu's exquisite craftsmanship!
This nephew of mine has learned sculpture from him since he was a child, but his talent is average, so he can only say that he worked hard enough!
However, hard work can only determine your lower limit, and only talent can determine how high your achievements are!
However, now Lin Mu seems to be a different person, the puppet he made is much more delicate than the one he made himself!

Lin Zhengshan couldn't help but began to ask Lin Mu for advice!
As Lin Mu, who inherited all the skills of the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao, he taught his second uncle his carving skills bit by bit in a simple way!

Standing outside, Lin Yushan looked at the pair of uncles and nephews who were obsessed with carving, and suddenly felt a sense of trance!

When he was young, Lin Mu liked to surround Lin Zhengshan and let Lin Zhengshan teach him how to carve.

Now, Lin Zhengshan looks like Lin Mu back then, eagerly accepting Lin Mu's teaching!
It's really a weird feeling!

Four days later, Lin Mu and Zhang Wei came to Lujia Porcelain Factory again!
Walking into the porcelain factory, I saw the side of the firewood kiln. There was a burst of noise, and the outside of the firewood kiln was already full of people!

Lu Wenlong came to meet Lin Mu in person!
Lin Mu asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Lu Wenlong introduced, "These are colleagues from the surrounding porcelain factories, as well as some merchants in the city, they all come here to shop for treasures!"

"Taobao?"

Zhang Wei asked curiously!
Lu Wenlong smiled and said, "Yes, every time you open a kiln, it is equivalent to a gamble, because no matter how good you are as a porcelain worker, you can't guarantee that all the porcelain in this kiln can be fired. Very well made!"

"Every time a kiln is opened, some families are happy and some are sad. If there are residual products, there will naturally be treasures!"

"When a treasure appears, it will attract many merchants' bidding. Last time, a "White Glazed Avalokitesvara" imitating the Ming Dynasty was produced in the firewood kiln next door. After it was fired, it was no less than the real one. It was bought by a Hong Kong businessman for 100 million!"

Zhang Wei couldn't help taking a deep breath, 100 million, buying a white porcelain Guanyin, it really is a big deal!
Lin Mu nodded slightly, and said, ""White-Glazed Avalokitesvara" is the masterpiece of He Chaozong, the porcelain sage of the Ming Dynasty. A few years ago, at an auction, "White-Glazed Avalokitesvara" sold for 1700 million Hong Kong dollars. It has set a world record for the auction of Dehua white porcelain so far."

"If it's as similar as my cousin said, 100 million is not expensive!"

In the past few days, Lin Mu also inquired about some information about Dehua white porcelain, and learned a lot about the history of Dehua white porcelain!
Lu Wenlong nodded slightly, and said, "That's true, so every time the kiln is opened, many people will come to the kiln factory, wanting to see if it can produce a treasure!"

The three of them were talking, and they came outside the firewood kiln!

After three days of cooling, the fire of the firewood kiln has almost been released.

Seeing Lin Mu's arrival, Lu Zhengqing nodded at him, then changed his face, and shouted, "Open the kiln—"

Everyone around looked over, with expectant expressions in their eyes!
The two workers, wearing thick overalls, wearing protective helmets, and thick gloves on their hands, held the handle of the kiln door, looked at each other, and at the same time forcefully opened the heavy door!
A gust of hot air gushed out, even if you stood more than ten meters away in advance, you could still feel the influence of this hot air!

However, this is the last bit of heat accumulated in the kiln!

After waiting for about half an hour, the staff began to enter the kiln and move those saggers outside!
Those bosses who came to the kiln, quickly brought their own people over, found their own saggers, moved them aside, and began to prepare for "opening the blind box"!

Every time a kiln is opened, for them, it is a heart-pounding "blind box opening" experience!
Many people poked their heads, wanting to see how the porcelain in their saggers was being fired!
Lin Mu didn't join in the fun, but followed Lu Wenlong to the front of several saggers.

"This is something from our porcelain factory. It's your first time here, Xiaomu, so I'll lend you your hand and open it once!"

Zhang Wei's hands were also itchy, and he urged Lin Mu to open the box quickly!
Lin Mu put on gloves, gently hugged the sides of the sagger, and lifted the top cover to reveal the porcelain inside!
"Okay, it's burning well!"

A voice of exclamation came from behind!
Lu Wenlong looked back and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, you're here too!"

A hale and hearty little old man came over, took a closer look, and then reached out and took out the porcelain inside!
Zhang Yueqing looked at this porcelain from top to bottom, nodded and said, "Okay, now I guess you, the Lu Family, can make this 'Imitation of Qing Dehua Kiln White Glazed Wenchang Emperor Statue'!"

Zhang Yueqing put this statue of Emperor Wenchang on the table, and the people around him also gathered around, and couldn't help admiring it repeatedly!

Emperor Wenchang is graceful and beautiful, wearing a fur head, wearing a robe, and sitting on his stomach.

In "Wu Wenchang", Zhu Yi Xingjun, who can distinguish the pros and cons of articles, and Kuixing, who is in charge of literary movement, accompany him.

Below are the horse's head, mule's body, donkey's tail, and ox's hooves, commonly known as the four different beasts on which Emperor Wenchang rides.

On both sides of it are two servant boys who are in charge of the literati record and transport book and hold the Wenchang Great Seal.

Emperor Wenchang ruled the fame and fortune of the world, and was a god worshiped by scholars in ancient times.

And this statue of Emperor Wenchang, everyone is so vivid, and the meaning is very good. For those who have candidates at home, it is definitely a comforting thing to invite a statue of Emperor Wenchang home!

The milky white statue of Emperor Wenchang gives people a sense of holiness.

Zhang Yueqing nodded slightly, and said, "Warm, delicate, clear and refined, the fetal bone is soft and firm, with crystal luster, the glaze water is clean and thick, and the fetal bone is tightly integrated, and the color is warm and moist like jade, clear and smooth, not bad. , as a treasure!"

Lu Wenlong looked excited, cupped his hands and said, "More compliments from Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Yueqing waved his hand, walked to the sagger of another house, and began to observe!
Lin Mu asked curiously, "Cousin, who is this Mr. Zhang?"

Lu Wenlong said with a trace of respect in his eyes, "Zhang Yueqing, the intangible inheritor of Dehua white porcelain, his family has been a porcelain craftsman for firing white porcelain since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and now he is Dehua white porcelain The president of the association!"

"Just now he said that it should be regarded as a treasure, and the value of this statue of Emperor Wenchang must be doubled at least!"

Lu Wenlong's face showed excitement, he patted Lin Mu on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Mu, you really have extraordinary luck. As soon as you come, we will offer you a treasure!"

Many bosses around offered their prices one after another, and Zhang Wei was dumbfounded.

Just such a 15-centimeter-high Wenchang Emperor statue was carried up to [-], and there were still a few people who looked like they would not give up if they couldn't bear it!

"Okay, brothers, raise your hands, brother, my child will take the college entrance examination next year, brother, I will buy it back for good luck!"

"What you said, it seems that no one has a child who is going to take the exam. My child will take the exam next year. Buy a Wenchang Emperor and go back to bless him!"

"Although my child has just entered elementary school, it doesn't prevent me from buying one and saying goodbye!"

"My son has just entered kindergarten. As the saying goes, learning starts from the baby!"

……

Listening to the plausible words of these bosses, but their bidding became more cautious. After 30, several bosses withdrew from the ranks of bidding, and could only look at the remaining two people!

These two people have been competing from the very beginning, and up to now, there is no winner!
Both Lin Mu and Zhang Wei were very interested in this form of bidding.

Lu Wenlong, on the other hand, has experienced a lot. He looks like he is sitting on the Diaoyutai, and he keeps quoting the prices of the two of them!
In the end, Boss Zhao, whose child will take the college entrance examination next year, spent 37 yuan to win this statue of Emperor Wenchang!
"Congratulations to Boss Zhao, Mr. Ling will definitely go to high school next year!"

Lu Wenlong was not stingy with his compliments, which made Boss Zhao, who was still a little pained, burst into a smile!
"It's easy to say, easy to say, if my son can really be admitted to a good university next year, it's nothing to say, I will definitely come here, thank you Lu family!"

Boss Zhao's words were sincere, but Lu Wenlong didn't take them seriously!
Zhang Wei whispered in Lin Mu's ear, "This is more than 30 yuan. I think this porcelain is really profitable!"

Lin Mu shook his head and did not speak. Although he is not that proficient in porcelain, from the knowledge of the Forbidden City and other museums, the porcelain industry is not so easy!

Sure enough, next, Zhang Wei couldn't hold back his little hand, and opened a sagger, but after opening, Zhang Wei's face turned dark!
There were six teacups on a tray inside, but now, only one has been formed, and the remaining five have been burnt to the naked eye!

Lu Wenlong carelessly reached out and took out the five cracked teacups inside, threw them into a box next to him, took out the last one, looked at it, curled his lips, and said, "This one won't work either. It is estimated that the plain tires in this box were damaged when they were put in, what a pity!"

Saying that, Lu Wenlong was going to throw this cup into that box as well!
"Wait!"

Zhang Wei reached out his hand to stop Lu Wenlong anxiously, looked at the teacup, and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, why don't you sell this thing to me, after all, it's the first time I opened the box, take it as a souvenir!"

Lu Wenlong laughed, stuffed the slightly flawed teacup into it, and said, "If you want money, just take it away!"

Zhang Wei took it and played with it in his hands. In fact, this teacup only has a slight crack at the bottom, which does not hinder its use.

However, for making porcelain, this is a residual product and has no value!

According to the past practice, after the kiln is opened, if any defective products are found, they will all be broken into pieces, and absolutely not allowed to flow out!

Especially for official kilns, even if there is a small black spot, it is impossible for it to flow out!
This is also every time an ancient kiln site is dug up, a large number of discarded porcelain pieces will be dug up by the way!

Most of the ancient porcelain pieces that are seen on the market now actually come from here!

If you are lucky, you can buy a whole piece of porcelain. After you come back and glue it, although it is not as good as the whole product, it is still good!
Next, several saggers were opened in a row, all of which were normally fired porcelain, nothing special.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation not far away, and everyone couldn't help but look over!
I saw Zhang Yueqing's figure disappearing in a flash, it seems that another treasure has appeared!
Zhang Wei couldn't help being curious, ran over and squeezed into the crowd.

Lin Mu shook his head, didn't care, but continued to open the sagger, he already liked the feeling of opening the blind box!

After a while, Zhang Wei ran back and said excitedly, "There is also a precious porcelain unearthed over there, but it is blue and white porcelain, and I can't remember the name, but there are many people asking for the price. When I came, It has surpassed our Wenchang Emperor Statue!"

Lu Wenlong smiled slightly and said, "The market price of blue and white porcelain has gradually increased in recent years. The price of good blue and white porcelain is ridiculously high. However, blue and white porcelain is expensive because of its painting skills. Good blue and white porcelain is more expensive than white porcelain." It's more difficult!"

While listening, Lin Mu opened a sagger, and a touch of heart-pounding white came into view, even Lu Wenlong, who was talking, couldn't help but look down!

White, the ultimate white, a white that cannot be described in words!
Lu Wenlong felt that his brain was short of oxygen!

"This is, this is..."

Lu Wenlong felt his voice tense up and down, and he couldn't speak at all!

"It turned out to be Bai Ben, it really is Bai Ben!"

A trembling voice sounded from the side!
Lin Mu turned his head to look, just in time to see Zhang Yueqing looking at the sagger in front of him in shock and excitement!
Inside the sagger is a white porcelain plum cup imitating the Ming Dynasty.

However, this plum blossom cup seems to be carved from the purest white snow in the world, without any impurities, crystal clear, moist and elegant.

When Lin Mu heard the two words Zhang Yueqing said, Bai Ben, Lin Mu suddenly realized!
Bai Ben comes from the "Book of Changes". The white here does not mean white, but "nothing, nothing", and Ben means gorgeous decoration.

Bai Ben means no decoration, pure natural!

Bai Ben has always been the highest pursuit of Baici!
Because the clay for firing white porcelain contains more or less other elements, so the fired white porcelain is almost impossible to be truly white!
Therefore, the beauty of Bai Ben is the ultimate pursuit of Baici!
Even Zhang Yueqing only met his grandfather when he was young, and made a white porcelain with the beauty of white beard. Unfortunately, in that turbulent era, that white porcelain has disappeared!

But this time, he was here and saw a white porcelain with the beauty of white ben!
