ancient engineer

Because Hua Mu often makes those mechanical parts by himself, it's not just a matter of a higher level of manual ability than flowers and plants.He took a rectangular piece of glass to the fire in the stone nest and burned it. When the glass was almost soft enough to be shaped, he quickly shaped it with metal tools.After the glass is softened, you only need to use a little force to make it change shape according to your will. Pliers, tweezers and so on can move the glass.

After all, it feels better in the hand, and several unique shapes are formed under the simple operation of Hua Mu: a national treasure panda, although it does not have the black and white lines, but the chubby and transparent shape is also naive; a dolphin, the high jumping The figure looks very cute; there is also a screw cap, which is inclined to a hexagonal shape, which is the part that Hua Mu habitually thought of.These are things that Hua Mu hadn't seen in Xuanyuan Kingdom, so it's rare to have a lot of fun. Well, it's actually relatively simple, so I made it.

"This looks really similar, but the things made by the eldest brother are more regular and imaginative at all!" The things made by Hua Mu made the flowers and plants on the side very enjoyable to watch, but the flowers and plants still think that they are beautiful, Determined to make one myself.

"Xiaocao, what are you doing?" Hua Mu asked, and other craftsmen also nodded their heads to ask.

"..." He originally wanted to be a long fish, but now he can't see the appearance of the two bananas!

"Hey, Xiaocao, you can use this, just use the tip to print patterns on the softened glass." Hua Mu handed him some printing tools prepared by several craftsmen.

"En." Huacao decided to make persistent efforts. This time he made a rectangular strip printing, and he expressed his confidence.He took an auspicious animal pattern that should have a very famous and popular greeting here in Xuanyuan Kingdom and some commonly used balls for utensils to print.The glass strip is also baked for him by the craftsman, with moderate hardness and will not change its shape.However, Hua Mu still overestimated his younger brother's appreciation level. He can obviously form beautiful and serious patterns. When he combines these few, he becomes an abstract style.

Hua Mu decided to give up on letting Huacao make something decent, and let him play by himself.But after returning home, you can hire an art teacher for him. If this aesthetic is not cured, it may be hopeless!Hua Mu himself also picked up a bamboo leaf printing tool, and made a few bamboo shapes on a three-inch long, thumb-wide glass strip. He planned to make a seal.

Hua Mu took a carved knife and carved the three characters "Xuanyuan Yun" on the bottom of the glass strip.He didn't come back to his senses until the engraving was finished.Looking at those bamboos, the first thing he thought of was Xuanyuan Yun, who had always maintained a soft, kind and deceitful appearance on the outside, but was actually very proud and tenacious inside, just like the bamboo that moved with the wind.No matter how strong the wind is, if the giant tree is broken, it may not be able to break the bamboo!

"Brother! Why don't you engrave one for him, but not one for me." Hua Cao muttered when she saw Hua Mu's engraved seal.

"I can't engrave one that suits you." Hua Mu returned lightly, put away the badge, and blocked Huacao's eyes.He thinks that his little brother looks like a cat. He looks arrogant and awkward, but he is actually very cute. Of course, if he is not allowed to speak, he will look even more cute and cute.But for cats, he is still not good at engraving.

"Brother, you are eccentric!"

"Isn't Xiaocao going to make a gift for Xiaoyue, is it ready?" Hua Mu changed the subject.

"These are the seven little pigs!" Hua Cao showed Hua Mu several pieces of glass products that the craftsman had packed in a wooden box for him.

"pig?"

"Yeah, isn't it pretty in vain and fat?" Huacao replied.

"..." Just as speechless as Hua Mu were those craftsmen who studied repeatedly and didn't know what the flowers and plants had made.

***

"Are you okay?" Xuanyuanyun, who was informed by his subordinates and the prince Lijiacun found Hua Mu, rushed over. Although he saw that Hua Mu seemed to be fine at the kiln, he still couldn't help asking. .

"It's okay." Hua Mu said.

"...I will find a way to give you a marriage." Xuanyuan Yun said.

"Ah."

"Brother, let's go and see the mud you mentioned!" Huacao saw the two talking and the atmosphere became more and more weird. Is this the rhythm of taking a pink heart?

"Let's go." Hua Mu asked people to find the kind of mud that can be used to make porcelain or pottery, but the craftsmen didn't know this very well, so they had to follow Hua Mu's request, and similar ones were brought here.Hua Mu is actually not familiar with the tools for making pottery and plastic porcelain. Fortunately, there is a study in the laboratory.Hua Mu had already ordered the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to do these things. As for the operation, let's figure it out!

"What is the use of this soil?" Xuanyuan Yun asked, looking at piles of neatly arranged soil.

"Play." Hua Mu replied.

"I want to play this kind!" Huacao said after seeing a particularly red mud.

"..." Xuanyuan Yun was speechless, just watching the two brothers start playing with mud on the ground.

In fact, although the mud that can be fired into pottery and porcelain is not common, it can be satisfied with other things.For example, some relatively fine soil, if the viscosity is not enough, after adding a little water, knead vigorously.Just like kneading flour, you can also throw it, and throw it on the stone slab in groups.Kneading and falling on the surface of the soil like this is very smooth, not sticky at all, and it feels moist to the touch, but it doesn't feel very wet or even dripping.This can make the clay more viscous. Although the processed clay-fired pottery cannot be a high-quality product, it is still acceptable, but it cannot withstand the high temperature of firing porcelain.

"Mud is fun?" Xuanyuan Yun asked.

"Shang Ke." Hua Mu came back, Huacao was trying hard to make a bowl over there, he already hated eating with a metal bowl!

"Oh." So Xuanyuan Yun also sat in front of a pile of mud without any image, and played with the mud.The craftsmen around said that playing with mud must be the most popular thing in the capital nowadays, and they must have fallen behind after not returning to the city for a long time.So there were craftsmen sitting in front of the collected mud samples, and everyone played with mud together!

Hua Mu looked at the pottery wheel over there, and then at the mud in his hand. He was not confident that he could round the mud when the pottery wheel was spinning, so he gave up using the pottery wheel.After evaluating the possibility of forming the mud in his hand, Hua Mu chose to make a water cup, the cylindrical one, which seems to be simpler and more practical.Huacao also glanced at the pottery wheel, and finally gave up, although the bowl in his hand was still crooked and chipped.

"Hua Shilang, can this mud do it like this?" A craftsman pointed to a pot on the ground and said.

"...Yes." Hua Mu looked at it, and slapped the cup she made into the mud without any trace.The worker made it according to the shape of a metal pot that people here often use, and it was very regular, and on the smooth surface, he also carefully carved a few simple pictures.

"Hua Shilang, do you think this king is doing well?" Xuanyuan Yun also presented his own work, a puppet, with Xuanyuan Kingdom's tall, thin and elegant feeling, and the belt seemed to be blown by the wind. He looked like an outsider.But looking at that movement, it is the same as Hua Mu's posture when he stood in the wind, and it is very well portrayed.

"My lord is very skilled. What kind of fairy is this made? It looks like fireworks." Before Hua Mu could answer, Huacao hurriedly said.He recognized at a glance that this vivid anthropomorphism was modeled after Hua Mu, but he was unwilling to let Xuanyuan Yun succeed in this way.

"This is more powerful than any god in my heart." Xuanyuan Yun replied, and now he can reply a few sentences with the poisonous tongue of flowers and plants.

"Those who know humanely think that the prince is praising people, but those who don't know think that the prince is shortening whose life! How can this god be compared, isn't this offending the gods?" Huacao said, the superstition here is still deep-rooted .

"..." Xuanyuan Yun was completely defeated.

"Please, everyone, mark the things you kneaded with the kind of soil they are made of, and then put them under the shed over there and let them dry in the air." Hua Mu instructed that before being fired in the kiln, these things are all Put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the moisture.It cannot be placed in the sun, because such exposure will crack the soil and destroy it before it is fired.

Everyone carefully followed the markings next to the pile of dirt, and put the marks on the embryos they had pinched.As expected of a craftsman from the Ministry of Industry, many of the marking techniques are very unique, and the markings have been successfully integrated into those patterns, and even left their own names!Even Xuanyuan Yun carefully marked the doll, and then put it on the flattest place. Around where he put things, other craftsmen consciously gave up a large space.

Hua Mu went to look at everyone's works like a normal person, and then couldn't help but have a doubt in her heart: Is the handicraft scum a family genetic disease, which was exposed when technology was needed like this? !The water glass in his hand still found an inconspicuous corner and put it down, the inside was uneven and the outside was a little crooked.The bowls of flowers and plants are even more unbearable to look at directly, they look like plates, pots and vats...

The author has something to say: In fact, if you want to use a wood-burning stove like the one in the countryside, you can burn it into pottery if you keep burning it, but the effect is not very good. You can play with it yourself, pinch two piglets, etc.~

I heard that the cold air is going south, and Adu followed the cold air, woo, on a business trip...
