Sui Xia

Chapter 82
After Lin Suixia finished speaking, she found Lin Tao coming out of her bedroom.

At that time, she wanted to leave here, in the final analysis, because of the conflict with Lin Tao.

But at this time, regardless of whether it was her own initiative or not, she still started to follow Lin Tao in making purple clay pots.

The original dispute has already been tacitly no longer mentioned.

At this time, mentioning these again, the atmosphere is somewhat awkward.

Lin Suishia and Lin Tao looked at each other unconsciously, but Lin Tao didn't say anything, and walked straight out the door.

"Actually, when I sent your dad to the hospital these days, he said intentionally or unintentionally that he had mentioned it before, but he didn't consider your feelings." Wu Ying said harmoniously when she saw Lin Suixia looking at Lin Tao's leaving back.

Lin Suixia didn't know if Wu Ying was speaking well for Lin Tao, she just said calmly:
"Mom, I'm leaving too. Also, those are not important anymore."

In this matter, whether she reconciled with Lin Tao or not, Lin Suixia never thought about it.

Now she agreed to help, only because she was worried about Lin Tao's back injury, and she didn't think about whether she should continue to do this in the future.

But the important thing is, no matter what she thinks in her heart, she is doing this now.

He and Lin Tao went out on both feet. They both rode bicycles.

Lin Suixia originally wanted to catch up with Lin Tao and take care of his back injury. The father and daughter hadn't talked alone like this for a long time.

But for some reason, every time she was about to rush to Lin Tao's side, she always subconsciously slowed down.

Something was holding her back, preventing her from breaking through the barrier between their father and daughter.

In this way, they moved forward in silence.

Looking at the back of Lin Tao riding a bicycle, Lin Suixia always wondered, if she had listened to Lin Tao's words, followed him to learn purple clay pots a few years ago, and inherited his tradition, would they have been able to be like others? Like their father and daughter, they get along very harmoniously.

You can come to the studio to work together, talking and laughing every day, and then go home for dinner together.

Just like Lin Tao sent her to school to pick her up when she was a child.

But they are not that kind of father and daughter.

I can't tell if it's a pity, but Lin Suixia just noticed that Lin Tao's back when he was riding a bicycle, I don't know if it's because of back pain or because he's really old, and he's not as straight as before.

"Uncle Lin, Sui Xia, you guys came together today." He met Zhou Qi who had just arrived at the door, and seeing Lin Sui Xia and Lin Tao coming together, he looked at them happily.

Because there is no formal apprenticeship, Lin Suixia suggested Zhou Qi to call like this yesterday.

Hearing his words, Lin Tao turned around and seemed to find Lin Suishia behind him.

But like at home, he didn't react too much.

As always, he was always so calm, or expressionless.

Lin Suixia didn't explain anything either. They lived in the same house, and they were not surprised when they came together.

"I have a pot to make today, and you all watch me the whole time, and I will explain it when I make it."

After arriving at the studio, Lin Tao put on his eyes and put on an apron, and sat in front of the mud board.

Originally, Lin Suixia was worried that once Lin Tao began to work seriously, he would not listen to people's advice and would not be able to bear the pain after sitting for a long time, but she found that Lin Tao's body had improved after a few days of massage therapy, and she felt relieved. .

Lin Tao is very skillful in making mud strips, whether it is purple sand mud or the tools he uses on the table, they are all very smooth.Lin Suixia took the phone and watched the record.

"When making the apron, cut the incision obliquely, so that it is convenient and smooth, and then stick it with water, and then pat it flat. It is best to leave a mark here. The position of the incision is usually for the handle of the pot." Lin Tao explained while doing it. .

According to the method of a master like Lin Tao, Lin Suixia thought that he would take a long time to make a pot, but Lin Suixia found that Lin Tao didn't just pay attention to speed, and he would not let go of any detail. He has to fix it carefully.

Lin Suixia knew that this was the craftsman spirit that Zhou Qi mentioned before.

"The one I made today is called Ziye Shipiaohu, and Shipiao is also called "Shichou."There are mainly Mansheng stone ladles, Ziye stone ladles, Jingzhou stone ladles and Hantang stone ladles. "Lin Tao said.

"The main features of Mansheng Shicho are that the top is small and the bottom is big, the center of gravity is drooping, and the chassis is very stable. The body of the pot is pyramid-shaped, dignified and majestic. Although the lid of the pot feels thin, it has a sense of weight. The color is full and plump, similar to Purple jade, mysterious and noble. The spout of the pot is short but firm, and the handle is also triangular, which makes the body of the pot look like a bow and arrow."

"The Ziye stone ladle we made today has a different feeling because of the slight difference in the mud and shape. If the Mansheng Shi Cho gives people the beauty of solemnity and majesty, then the Ziye stone ladle has some The beauty of simplicity and softness. The button of the pot is slightly smaller, the lid is slightly thicker, the body is slightly straighter, and the handle is more dynamic. In addition to the decoration of calligraphy and painting, it makes "Ziye Shilao" antique and full of charm."

As Lin Tao said, he drew a picture of plum blossoms on the body of the pot. The lifelike plum blossom tree seemed to be alive.

Lin Suixia has always known that Lin Tao has such artistic skills, but she was still extremely shocked when she saw him draw in front of her eyes.

The knowledge on the purple clay pot is enough for her to learn.

She glanced at Zhou Qi, who was also amazed.

"Jingzhou Shilao and Hantang Shilao are mainly made by Master Gu Jingzhou and his apprentice Xu Hantang. I will tell you about the characteristics of these two kinds of pots next time when I make them. The overall characteristics of the stone pots mainly lie in their strength. Which master made it retains the unique temperament and charm of Shipiao."

Lin Tao said while doing it. His voice was very gentle, like a gurgling stream. Not only did it not feel boring, but it also made people calm down unconsciously.

Listening to Lin Tao's gentle narration, Lin Suixia also understood why the purple clay teapot is called an intangible cultural heritage.

The things contained here are really not something that can be understood after a few days and months of reading and doing. It requires accumulated learning and precipitation to achieve some small achievements.

When it took Lin Tao a whole day to finish making a pair of Ziye stone ladles made of blue plaster, looking at this antique Ziye stone ladle, Lin Suixia's feelings couldn't be expressed in words for a while. describe.

The whole process of witnessing a teapot from scratch, from a ball of mud to a beautiful purple clay teapot is completely different from seeing a formed purple sand teapot.

What's more, after listening to Lin Tao's explanation, she realized that the beauty of a purple clay teapot is more about the countless cultural heritage.

"Uncle Lin, this pot is so beautiful." Zhou Qi said excitedly while holding the newly made Ziye Stone Pour Pot, "But I have a question, I found that in the process of making you, there are many times when you can clearly The speed is faster, but you seem to slow down on purpose, what is the reason? Do you have to stop like this?"

Lin Tao worked for a whole day. Although he didn't seem to have any pain in his waist, he kept explaining and his voice was a little tired.Regarding Zhou Qi's question, he shook his head lightly and said:
"There is an important experience in making purple clay teapots by hand, that is, at any time, you can't rush the progress because of time. I hope you will keep this in mind from now on."
