Sui Xia

Chapter 111 The Fish Transforming Dragon Pot
Knowing that Wu Ying was hospitalized, Jiang Zhu and Zhou Qi, Xu Youyou and Tang Yu also came to see Wu Ying, and knowing that Wu Ying was fine, they were relieved.

Fortunately, there is basically no problem with the concussion, and now we need to focus on recovering from the leg injury.

Two days later, Wu Ying was finally discharged from the hospital.

Lin Suixia pushed the wheelchair, and Lin Tao also supported Wu Ying. The whole family came out of the hospital in a good mood.

"Mom, I'll take care of you at home these two days." Back home, Lin Suixia said to Wu Ying.

But Wu Ying refused.

"Your Aunt Zheng is fine, she said she would come and take care of me. Xiao Xia, listen to me, I'd better go to the studio to help your dad."

Wu Ying didn't know that Lin Suixia was in a bad mood because of the video promotion, and she didn't want Wu Ying to worry, so she didn't tell her, so she nodded, "Okay, I understand. Then I'll come back early."

Lin Suixia went out to the studio, and happened to meet Jiang Mo who came to see them.

Knowing what Wu Ying meant, Jiang Mo told Lin Suixia not to worry.

"It's okay, I will visit my aunt often."

Jiang Mo also told her the good news that he also asked someone to renovate the noodle shop that was hit by a car.

"Well, my mother said that she will make an agreement with Aunt Zheng today, let her and Old Tang find other jobs, and she will announce the closure of the noodle shop in two days."

"Of course it's best for Auntie to rest and not worry, but..." Jiang Mo said with a little regret, "Chunguang Town will never eat such delicious beef noodles again."

Lin Suixia smiled sweetly at him: "If you want to eat it, tell me, and I will ask my mother to make it for you."

"That `s a deal."

After Lin Suixia came to the studio on Jiang Mo's motorcycle, Jiang Mo also went to the pet hospital.

After Wu Ying's incident, Lin Suixia hadn't come to the studio for two or three days, and her lotus seed pot hadn't been finished yet.

Zhou Qi has arrived, and his Huaying Pot has been finished.

"Sui Xia, you're here, how about taking a look at the Huaying pot I made?"

With just one glance, Lin Suixia could tell that Zhou Qi had made great progress.

The lines are soft and curvy, showing a plump and pretty figure.

The crimped lid design, the semi-circular pot lid is raised high, echoing the oval pot body.

The small ball button is placed on the top of the cover, which is practical and beautiful as well as a finishing touch.

Short neck, sloping shoulders.The line of the pot body stretches and spreads downwards from the neck to the abdomen.Then it pours down from the abdomen and closes at the bottom of the pot. The lines are smooth, full of tension, and very dynamic.

There are ring feet on the bottom of the pot to support the body of the pot firmly, calm and introverted.

A curved flow flows out naturally from the body of the pot, with soft curves and smooth water discharge.

The ear-shaped ring handle is rigorous and moderate, and the end is easy to hold. There is a drop ear at the end of the pot handle, which is elegant, smart, playful and cute.

"Zhou Qi, I've been away for the past two days, and you've worked hard secretly. It's really good." Lin Suixia sighed sincerely.

Zhou Qi is also very satisfied with this Huaying pot, "Actually, I was also very surprised, but it really feels good when I make it, and the effect I didn't expect is also very good."

Lin Suixia was very happy with Zhou Qi's progress, and sat down on her own clay and continued to make her own lotus seed pot.

After Lin Tao came over, he looked at Zhou Qi's Huaying Pot and praised his progress.

Zhou Qi became even more excited, and he happily said to Lin Tao, "Uncle Lin, then I want to try making this pot, can I?"

Lin Suixia raised her head when she heard the voice, and saw Zhou Qi pointing to a purple clay pot on Lin Tao's shelf.

After seeing the pot clearly, Lin Suixia was a little shocked.

Lin Tao was also surprised.

Because it is a fish-turning-dragon pot.

The so-called fish-turning-dragon pot is inspired by the ancient legend of "carp leaping over the dragon's gate".Contains the meaning of making steady progress in the sky and rising to the top. Because of its beautiful meaning and beautiful shape, it is deeply loved by pot lovers.

According to legend, Chen Zhongmei, a famous Zisha artist in the Ming Dynasty, was the creator of the Yuhualong Hu, but there is no actual information about it.After the careful design of Shao Daheng, a purple sand master in the Qing Dynasty, the Yuhualong pot became a mature and widely spread pot shape.

Shao Daheng's Fish-turning-Dragon Pot, the body of the pot is piled up with waves, the plastic surface is high, and the layers are clear. The fish and dragon only float out of the head, and the dragon's claws do not leak out.

Huang Yulin, a famous Zisha artist in the late Qing Dynasty, created the fish-turning-dragon pot based on Shao Daheng’s fish-turning-dragon pot. The waves on the body of the pot are mostly portrayed, with fish and dragons leaking out of their bodies and dragon claws sticking out. It is a common sight in the market today shape.

The body of the pot is round, with sea wave patterns engraved on the whole body, and the lines are smooth. There are bas-relief sculptures of a fish and a dragon on both sides of the pot body. The fierce dragon head opens its mouth to spit out glowing dragon balls, and the carp spits out water drops in the water waves, ready to go. , Yuyuelongmen, just around the corner.

The lid of the pot is double-layered and hollow inside.The cover surface is composed of waves, and a three-dimensional carved dragon head protrudes from the top of the huge waves. The dragon head stretches, and the dragon tongue is flexible and lifelike. The ingenious design is amazing.

The auspicious cloud is used as the button of the pot, the tail of the dragon is used as the handle, the dragon scales are clearly visible, and the details are realistic. It is a classic of a generation!
In the inheritance and evolution of hundreds of years, the pot styles that are popular in the world today are Huang Yulin's auspicious cloud button fish-turning-dragon, and Zhu Kexin's Yunlong pot.

But now Zhou Qi, a novice who has only learned it for less than a month, actually wants to try such a complicated craft.

"Are you sure?" Lin Tao looked at Zhou Qi seriously.

"Yeah!" Zhou Qi nodded emphatically.

"Alright, only breakthroughs can make progress." Lin Tao nodded.

Next, Lin Tao explained to Zhou Qi the difficulties and characteristics of the Yuhualong Pot in detail, and taught him how to operate it.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin." After Zhou Qi heard this, he began to seriously return to his mud board and take out the mud balls.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

I don't know if he is still thinking about the video. Compared with Zhou Qi's Huaying pot, which has made great progress, Lin Suixia's lotus seed pot is only half done, but he can see a lot of problems.

The body of the pot is not round enough, the spout is too big, and the lid is even a little crooked...

Seeing this pot that was getting worse and worse, Lin Suixia suddenly became depressed.

She looked at Zhou Qi, who had fallen into her own world, who was serious about making pots, and then at Lin Tao, who was also serious. A sense of powerlessness made her restless.

Lin Suixia got up and went into the bathroom and slapped cold water on her face. Before Wu Ying's car accident, she was sad because of the video, and poured into Lin Suishia's chest again.

What she didn't know was that when she left the chair, Lin Tao looked back and saw the unfinished lotus seed pot on which she put clay.

Lin Tao looked in the direction of the bathroom, his eyes darkened.

When Lin Suixia came out of the bathroom, she saw Lin Tao standing in front of her bed.

Knowing that Lin Tao saw the pot she made, Lin Suixia bit her lip and said apologetically:

"dad……"

Lin Tao nodded softly to her:

"Suishia, come here."

Following Lin Tao to the shelf in another studio, Lin Suixia didn't know what Lin Tao was going to do with her.

It wasn't until Lin Tao fiddled with a handful of purple clay teapots on the shelf, and the shelf in front of him opened like a door, that Lin Suixia knew for the first time that the studio also had a darkroom.

"Dad, where is this?"

Lin Tao didn't speak, he raised his leg and walked into the dark room, motioning for Lin Suishia to follow.

When he walked into the dark room to see the things inside, Lin Suixia was stunned.
