Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 20 Breakthrough in Pottery Throwing Skills: To Learn Porcelain Painting, One Must First Traces

Next

When Li Feng and Qian Fusheng returned to the pottery workshop, they found a place to rest.

When it was time to go to work, Li Feng pulled Zhou Jianjun, who had just returned from the painting workshop, and Qian Fusheng, who was resting, back to the painting workshop. Then, he quietly pointed to Master Lin's workstation and asked Zhou Jianjun.

"Building an Army".

"What does this Master Lin paint?"

Zhou Jianjun looked in the direction Li Feng pointed, and then saw Master Lin painting porcelain at his workstation.

Zhou Jianjun found out who it was, and then he asked Li Feng questioningly.

"This is our Level 7 painter, Master Lin Guowei!"

"He was a master of figure painting."

"What's wrong?".

When Li Feng learned that Master Lin was a level seven painter in the factory, he was very surprised.

Li Feng knew that there weren't many level-seven painters in the factory, and the fact that Master Lin, who had just spoken to him, was a level-seven painter was quite shocking to Li Feng.

At this moment, Qian Fusheng was also very shocked.

Qian Fusheng also knew that there were very few level 7 workers; even Master Wang was only a level 6 worker.

As for whether a level 6 potter is the same as a level 6 painter, Qian Fusheng didn't know.

But a level 7 worker is still higher than a level 6 worker, isn't it?
At least that's what Qian Fusheng thought.

Seeing the two men's shocked expressions, Zhou Jianjun reached out and shook them, asking Li Feng and Qian Fusheng with some curiosity.

"Hello!".

"What's wrong with you two?"

"Why do you look so surprised?"

"What exactly happened?"

Qian Fusheng, who had been shaken awake by Zhou Jianjun, told Zhou Jianjun about what had happened after he finished lunch and passed by the painting workshop.

After Zhou Jianjun heard the whole story, he looked at Li Feng in shock.

Then he said to Li Feng with some curiosity.

"Not bad!"

"You've actually been valued by Master Lin. He told you to come and visit him whenever you have time."

“Ordinary apprentices don’t get this kind of treatment!”

"I'll tell you!"

"Master Lin is a senior craftsman in the painting workshop. My dad said that Master Lin has been to Jingdezhen and was instructed by a master named Wang. He is well-known in our factory."

“There aren’t many painters like Master Lin in our factory who are at the seventh level.”

"Moreover, according to what Fusheng just said, Master Lin told you to go for a walk when you have nothing to do, which means he probably thinks you have some potential."

Qian Fusheng was very surprised after hearing Zhou Jianjun's words.

He didn't expect that Li Feng would just stare at the porcelain vase for a moment and then say something he couldn't understand, and Master Lin would think that he had potential.

This was something Qian Fusheng had never expected.

After all, this kind of thing was beyond Qian Fusheng's comprehension.

Li Feng simply smiled at Zhou Jianjun's words.

Master Lin doesn't know if he has any potential.

However, Li Feng was quite interested in seeing how Master Lin painted after finishing his work.

After all, I used to paint meticulous brushwork paintings.

Li Feng still really likes these traditional Chinese cultural treasures.

In the afternoon, Li Feng did not slack off, but continued to throw the clay and knead it.

Qian Fusheng was the same, of course.

His idea was to learn how to make money and get married.

Qian Fusheng is about the same age as Li Feng.

But his dream was so simple and unpretentious.

Many men Qian Fusheng's age are already thinking about getting married.

"These youthful hormones!" Li Feng sighed for a moment before continuing to diligently learn how to throw a potter's wheel.

As for Wang Liu, who was not far from Li Feng, he was chatting with Zhou Jianjun.

After all, these two have known each other for quite a long time.

"Pottery Throwing Experience +1"

"Pottery Throwing Experience +1"

"Pottery Throwing Experience +1"

"Pottery Throwing Experience +1"

As time went by, Li Feng's experience in pottery making increased rapidly.

About four hours later, a mechanical voice came to Li Feng's mind.

"Congratulations, host, your embryo-pulling skill has broken through to level 1."

"Pottery Throwing Experience +1"

The mechanical voice in Li Feng's mind, "Experience in pottery throwing +1," was perhaps because Li Feng was so focused on his work that he didn't notice it.

Li Feng continued kneading the kaolin until the end of his workday.

At this moment, Wang Liu walked up to Li Feng. He looked at the kaolin clay under Li Feng's hand and was immediately surprised.

"Li Feng!"

"You can use this kaolin clay directly after you've kneaded it."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Zhou Jianjun also leaned closer to take a look, and at this moment he was also somewhat surprised.

"Hey".

"Really?"

"It really can be used directly."

"Li Feng, you can share my burden from now on."

Qian Fusheng, who was next to Li Feng, hurriedly asked Wang Liu.

"Brother Wang".

"What about mine?"

After hearing Qian Fusheng's words, Wang Liu bent down, looked at the kaolin he had kneaded, and then shook his head.

"Practice some more."

"If I take the kaolin clay you kneaded to the master."

"I'm going to get beaten to death by him."

Hearing Wang Liu's words, Zhou Jianjun couldn't help but smile at Qian Fusheng.

"Brother, don't rush."

Take your time.

"You've only just started learning."

Qian Fusheng, however, was somewhat discouraged.

"Li Feng has massaged it so well, but I'm still like this."

Zhou Jianjun patted Qian Fusheng on the shoulder and said.

"When Li Feng was applying for the job, his score was only lower than mine."

"This level is considered normal."

At this moment, Zhou Jianjun glanced at the wall clock not far away, and then he said to everyone.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now."

Wang Liu nodded and said.

"Alright!"

"I have something to do today, so I won't be eating in the cafeteria."

Wang Liu then left with Zhou Jianjun.

After Zhou Jianjun and Wang Liu left, Li Feng asked Qian Fusheng.

"Fusheng, shall we go take a look at the painting workshop?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Fusheng immediately shook his head at Li Feng and said...

"I'm not going."

"I went to the cafeteria and finished eating. My parents are still waiting for me at home."

In the end, Li Feng had no choice but to go to the painting workshop alone.

When Li Feng arrived at the painting workshop, he found that there were still a few people who hadn't gone to eat.

One of them was Master Lin.

Li Feng walked up to Master Lin and saw him using a brush to paint on the inlay.

When Master Lin saw Li Feng arrive, he was not surprised. Instead, he asked Li Feng to sit on a small stool to the side.

Li Feng quickly responded and then sat down on the small stool.

At this moment, Li Feng noticed a calligraphy brush and some already drawn drawings on a small table next to the bench. Curious, Li Feng picked up the drawings and began to look at them.

Master Lin stopped what he was doing and then asked Li Feng, who was holding the blueprints.

"Want to have it drawn?"

Li Feng asked Master Lin somewhat excitedly.

"May I?"

Master Lin nodded, and then he asked Li Feng to take eighty porcelain bottles (in units of porcelain size) that had already been fired from the table, insert a stick into the drawer, and then ask Li Feng to put the mouth of the porcelain bottle into the stick.

After Li Feng had done all this...

Master Lin told Li Feng.

"If you want to learn to paint porcelain, you must first learn to copy."

"Use a brush to draw the lines on the porcelain vase."

“Every single line must be drawn.”

Li Feng nodded, and then began to formally draw the diagram.
