we will meet

Tong Tianming said that Tong Xiaojing did it, and the time came late at night before he knew it.

When Tong Xiaojing looked at the satisfactory shape of the drawn blank, she said happily, "Second Uncle, take a quick look... how about this one?"

Tong Tianming looked at Tong Xiaojing and smiled: "Well done, our purple pottery is complicated and has many processes, but as long as we put our heart into it, we can definitely do it well."

"Ah."

For several days, Tong Xiaojing followed Tong Tianming to learn how to make purple pottery in the workshop. When firing, Sun Zhe was regarded as a little master. He has been learning how to make purple pottery from Tong Tianming. The master needs to be precise and accurate, and Tong Xiaojing will also learn from Sun Zhe.

When Meng Junzhuo came over, Tong Tianming had something to go out and asked him to wait for him in the workshop. When Meng Junzhuo came to the workshop, he saw Tong Xiaojing standing beside Sun Zhe like a student, listening carefully to what Sun Zhe said firing characteristics.

Meng Junzhuo didn't make a sound to disturb, but leaned seriously beside the pillar, took out the notebook he used to record during the chat with Tong Tianming, and started a simple sketch.

"Sister Xiaojing, when we are firing, we generally control the temperature at about 1150-1200 degrees, so that the shrinkage rate is about 20% during the firing process. If we fire white pottery, it will be different. White pottery The temperature will be higher, and it needs to be around 1300 degrees."

Listening to Sun Zhe's words, Tong Xiaojing couldn't help sighing: "Specialize in surgery, Sun Zhe, you have really good control over firing. You can observe the temperature and color of the fire with your own experience. I still need to ask you about this." Learn."

"Miss Xiaojing, when the Pushi pot you made needs to be fired, let's fire it together."

"Okay, I will definitely study hard."

Sun Zhe blushed when he was told, and he smiled dryly: "I want to learn from you, I can't do anything other than know a little about firing, especially casting, I can't always draw well. I also have clumsy hands for the blank shape and engraved filling.”

"Didn't the second uncle say that, handicrafts, you must practice hard, learn more, and you will always gain experience."

"Ah."

There was crisp applause, Tong Xiaojing heard the sound, turned around curiously, and was a little surprised to see Meng Junzhuo standing there leaning on the stone pillar.

"Meng Junzhuo, when did you come?"

Sun Zhe saw that Meng Junzhuo also smiled, and stepped forward with a smile: "Mr. Meng, why don't you say that you are here, and I will pour you tea."

"It's okay, I came here for a while and saw that you were seriously studying the firing, so I didn't bother you." Meng Junzhuo said simply, taking advantage of the opportunity to put away the notebook in his hand.

The sharp-eyed Sun Zhe saw what was drawn on the notebook, and immediately said, "Wow, Mr. Meng, you actually drew Sister Xiaojing and me."

Meng Junzhuo laughed when he heard this.

When Tong Xiaojing heard Sun Zhe's words, she was also a little confused. Meng Junzhuo actually painted her?No!
Tong Xiaojing stepped forward curiously, looked at Meng Junzhuo and said, "Let me see?"

Meng Junzhuo looked at her, hesitated, and handed her the notebook in his hand.

Tong Xiaojing couldn't help being stunned when she saw the sketch in the notebook. The drawing was a sketch, and the people who drew it were her and Sun Zhe. When they were studying and firing in the workshop just now, their serious appearance was outlined by him with a few strokes up.

"You draw really well."

"Thank you."

Tong Xiaojing returned the notebook to Meng Junzhuo, and the three of them returned to the front hall together.

"I'll make tea for you." Sun Zhe ran to make tea with a smile.

Tong Xiaojing and Meng Junzhuo came to the front yard. There were purple pottery made by the second uncle in the front yard. They had planned to put these away before, but after Tong Xiaojing decided to keep them, they returned to their original positions. .

In Sun Zhe's words, if Miss Xiaojing is here, Tianming Workshop will be alive again.

"how do you feel?"

Meng Junzhuo asked.

When Tong Xiaojing heard his words, she stopped placing items in her hands. She turned her head and looked at him, and thought for a moment before saying: "It feels good. Although there are difficulties, I can always find a way to solve them."

Meng Junzhuo responded, and said softly, "That's good."

Tong Xiaojing looked at him and said with a smile: "How was your interview with my second uncle recently? Is it helpful for your new work?"

Meng Junzhuo laughed when he heard the words: "Second Uncle's past is worth expressing in words. I believe that the next works will definitely attract more people."

"Yeah, looking forward to your work."

Meng Junzhuo looked at Miss Tong's bright smile, and was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the door.

"Yo yo, girl Xiaojing, you are really here!"

This voice belonged to Qian Wenhai.

Tong Xiaojing looked at the door, and Qian Wenhai had already stepped in, followed by a subordinate who was carrying a box of fruit baskets in his hand.

Qian Wenhai entered the room, saw the purple pottery displayed in the room, and laughed: "Tsk tsk, I thought these things were going to be thrown back into the warehouse to eat dust, but I didn't expect the restored ones to be placed in their original places. It seems that Tianming Workshop In the future, we will have to rely on the girl’s family to support us.”

Qian Wenhai looked at Tong Xiaojing, and began to look at her. Looking at her, Qian Wenhai couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, Xiaojing girl, you are so beautiful, why don't you do something else? You have to run away." Come play with this mud, these things are not for you, so don't do it."

Qian Wenhai glanced at the subordinate at the side and gestured, and the subordinate put the fruit basket on the table at the side.

"I heard that you gave up your good job in Shanghai and wanted to stay and help in your second uncle's workshop. Girl, this is not a leisurely job. Your ability is really not suitable here. If you don’t mind, you can come to Uncle’s studio, and Uncle will arrange a decent position for you, and I guarantee that your monthly salary will be better than that in Shanghai.”

Facing Qian Wenhai's words, Tong Xiaojing didn't show any extra expressions, but replied seriously: "Thank you, Boss Qian, for your kindness. Those things don't suit me very well. I still like to tinker with what suits me. I think learning how to make purple pottery is very interesting. "Speaking of this, Tong Xiaojing paused deliberately, and she looked at Qian Wenhai with a smile on her face: "Whether I'm suitable or not, if you don't try, how will you know?"

Hearing this, Qian Wenhai's expression faded slightly, replaced by a somewhat serious expression: "Little girl, it's good to be young and vigorous, but you are a young man, you must know how to be flexible in your thinking, don't be like Like your second uncle, he is stubborn and will pay for everything in the end."

"My surname is Qian, you are not allowed to talk nonsense about Master Tianming." Sun Zhe came out with the brewed tea, and when he heard Qian Wenhai's satire on Tong Tianming, he immediately refuted it back.
