How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 96 Witness the miracle, the watermelon in the dream!

Kyoto, China Traditional Handicraft Association.

China has many intangible cultural heritages, including Kunqu Opera, Guqin, seal cutting, calligraphy, paper-cutting, silk weaving and so on.

Among them, celadon firing is also one of the intangible cultural heritage.

Since the celebration of aerospace culture and art exhibition ended, the cultural department and traditional handicraft association in Kyoto have noticed Zhao Chen.

Ancient Faru Kiln, Ancient Judge Kiln, Yaobian Tianmu.

The appearance of these porcelains made Zhao Chen's status in the porcelain world rise sharply.

Moreover, the video of Zhao Chen participating in the assessment of the provincial official kiln porcelain art master has also been watched by many people.

Its top craftsmanship and exquisite artistic understanding have won the praise of many porcelain art masters.

Yaobian Tianmu has been stationed in the Palace Museum, and it is displayed in the exhibition hall of excellent modern and modern exhibits. Many people go to visit this work.

Zhao Chen's name became more and more famous in the art world.

In addition, unlike traditional art masters from all walks of life who are only limited to their own fields, because Zhao Chen's live broadcast is also very good, but it allows more people to understand traditional culture.

At this moment, at the headquarters of the Huaxia Traditional Handicraft Association, several leaders were chatting.

As a first-level association under the Huaxia Cultural Department, the Traditional Handicraft Association has a great say in intangible cultural heritage and traditional handicrafts.

Wang Shuanghai, vice president of the association, said:

"This young man can be trained well. His talent is really great, and he graduated from the History Department of Kyoto University, and his education is also good."

"There are several masters who restore cultural relics in the Forbidden City. Aren't they all concurrently professors of the History Department of Kyoto University?"

"You can ask him if he would like to work here in Kyoto. The Kyoto Porcelain Association definitely wants him."

"If it is cultivated and cultivated, maybe the Forbidden City can also enter."

Hearing Wang Shuanghai's words, another leader replied with a smile:

"The people recruited by the Forbidden City must at least have a doctor's degree, and they must be counterparts in cultural relics. His major is not suitable."

"However, the Porcelain Association is very suitable for him. After he comes, the porcelain circle in Kyoto will also have more high-quality porcelain, and we can also use ancient judge kiln porcelain."

"The ancient judge's kiln is the porcelain that can only be used by the orthodox Southern Song emperors. The ones he refined are exactly the same as the unearthed cultural relics."

"Of course cultural relics can't be used, but modern handicrafts are completely fine. The cracks in the ancient judge's kiln look beautiful, and it feels good to use a set of brush washers and tea bowls."

These leaders are talking.

In this place of Kyoto, many people have a bit of "official air", so they like official things very much.

For them, although Ru kiln porcelain is the best porcelain, it is not as comfortable as the status symbol of official kiln porcelain.

Therefore, they discussed to let Zhao Chen come to work in the Porcelain Association in Kyoto, and then make some porcelain for them.

This is not surprising in the system.

Later, they entrusted this matter to Ding Wu, the president of Zhejiang Porcelain Association, and asked him to communicate with Zhao Chen.

After all, being able to work in a place like Kyoto is the dream of many craftsmen.

After Ding Wu heard the news, he was very polite on the surface, but a little contemptuous in his heart.

The Traditional Handicraft Association has many good leaders and many respected craftsmen.

But there are also a group of people with a serious bureaucratic atmosphere who like to engage in these small tricks.

Ding Wu knew that Zhao Chen would not go at all, but he still expressed the meaning of the Kyoto side to Zhao Chen according to the procedure, and wanted to invite him to become a member of the Kyoto Porcelain Association.

Zhao Chen resolutely refused.

He was not invited by the Southern Song Dynasty Guan Kiln Museum before, and he was even less interested in the invitation from the Kyoto Porcelain Association this time.

He prefers landscapes.

At this moment, Zhao Chen is clearing the vegetable field in his backyard.

There will be construction going on here soon.

There are nine very large watermelons in the vegetable field, which are oval in shape. They were planted by Zhao Chen with seedless watermelon seeds earlier, and they are now mature.

Zhao Chen couldn't finish eating nine big watermelons in a month, and the watermelons would spoil easily if kept for a long time.

"Ma Gong, I keep three watermelons here, everyone can eat when you are tired, it's been a hard time." Zhao Chen put down the watermelons and said to a worker who was plastering the wall.

There are a total of six workers working in Zhao Chen's yard at the same time, which is equivalent to other people's house building, which is already a big battle.Zhao Chen also wanted to move in as soon as possible to save some time.

"Okay, thank you!" The cement worker immediately responded with a smile.

Zhao Chen was very smart, he didn't give the watermelon to the supervisor for him to distribute, but directly gave the watermelon to the workers who were doing the work.

In this way, workers feel happy and work harder.

If it is given to the supervisor, the supervisor at least takes one first, and then distributes two to the workers.If the workers are upset, they will do bad things in the project in private.

People's hearts are probably like this.

Zhao Chen doesn't like dealing with too many people, but he can figure out these ways.

Then, Zhao Chen took Xiao Heibei together in the yard, and checked the construction of the yard.

During the period when Zhao Chen was busy carving Shoushan stones, the two-story main building had already been built, and the next step was to connect water, electricity, decoration, and the garden design in the yard.

It will take at most another month to complete it all.

Moreover, the workshop and warehouse on the left have begun to be renovated and will be available soon.

Life is slowly getting better.

This elegant small courtyard with Jiangnan water town style is about to be completed.

For the next life, Zhao Chen is looking forward to it.

"Jar, go, go back and eat watermelon, the watermelon I planted, it is definitely the best watermelon."

Zhao Chen said with a smile.

It was still live at this time, and when netizens heard his words, they immediately became interested and joked:
【Master, what if there is only a little pink and white flesh, and the rest of the melon is all green? 】

[Is the master so confident in growing watermelons? 】

[I bet fifty cents, this melon is absolutely inedible! 】

[To be able to grow such a big watermelon, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse. 】

【Haha, what if it's a bad melon! 】

Then, Zhao Chen returned to the small courtyard of the farmhouse, casually picked up a watermelon and put it on the table, and took out a watermelon knife from the house.

Zhao Chen knew that this watermelon must not be bad, so a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Next, it's time to witness the miracle!"

As he said that, Zhao Chen went down with a knife and cut directly from the middle of the watermelon. Then, with a little force, the watermelon broke into two semicircles.

When the camera captured the red melon flesh, the audience was stunned.

In the picture, almost all of the melons are red and tender, not to mention the black watermelon seeds, and even the yellowish stems are almost invisible.

Looking down from above, the watermelon rind is not even visible.

If it weren't for being afraid of getting dirty, this watermelon wouldn't even want to grow its skin.

Netizens looked at the thin-skinned, seedless watermelon with astonishment on their faces.

Is this melon real?
Isn't this the watermelon in our dreams?
Do watermelons really look like this? !
