Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 84 General Meeting

Chapter 84 General Meeting
After eating their fill and resting for a while, Li Feng and the others resumed their work.

at this point in time.

The new color team still has a lot of tasks to do.

Moreover, the new color group had few members, but with the addition of Li Feng and others, the situation improved a lot.

After all, Li Feng draws quite quickly.

The others also made much faster progress by following the methods taught by Li Feng.

At least now there are very few places they can't draw.

of course!

This only refers to this particular subject matter.

If you change the scene, it might slow down again.

However, this is normal. Experienced craftsmen usually understand the picture first, and then think about how to draw the effect shown in the picture.

As apprentices, Han Ming and the others were already quite good at drawing the pictures on the blueprints.

Even Li Feng was able to quickly master these techniques only because he had the system; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to master them in such a short time.

Not to mention being able to get promoted so quickly.

One afternoon
Li Feng finished painting the rice paddies, rocks, and other background scenery.

Looking at the painting that was already half-finished, Li Feng felt a sense of accomplishment.

After all, this was the first time he had painted this kind of leader porcelain (literary porcelain). Li Feng believed that this kind of leader porcelain already belonged to the category of literary porcelain.

This refers to porcelain from a specific era, described in a special way, several years later.

These porcelain pieces mostly depict the themes of activities during that period.

Most of them are for the purpose of praising.

Li Feng believes that by then, the number of assignments on this subject should increase significantly.

However, for now, there is only this one task, and I just need to complete it myself.

Moreover, Master Deng also said that this will be useful for his future professional title evaluation.

Anyway, there's no harm in it.

After Li Feng finished painting, Han Ming and Zhang Jiefang took it to the kiln to be fired.

After the firing process is complete and the dark lines are set, you can then apply color to larger areas.

The coloring part is the fastest to paint.

After all, the coloring process for new colors is not as complicated as that for pastel colors.

In terms of complexity, famille rose is definitely number one, followed by enamelware, and lastly wucai (five-color porcelain).

Because of the pastel painting process, there is a step called dotting. For example, when painting the red part at the top of a lotus flower, you use a brush to dot the top with dots the size of sesame seeds, and then use a very sharp brush to dot each of the sesame seed dots one by one.

It creates a diffusion effect.

This creates a gradient effect, with the top being the deepest and the bottom becoming shallower.

It often takes several hours to decorate just one flower.

of course!

This is just one of the processes.

There are other, even more complicated processes.

This is one of the reasons why famille rose porcelain is so expensive; it requires a lot of manual labor.

Moreover, this wasn't done by a painter's touch-up, but by a filler.

It looks like soot from a pot or white paint on glass.

Stripping away the color.

Water filling material.

点染
罩染
All of this was done by laborers.

This really tests your hand stability.

It also tests the worker's attention to detail.

Therefore, filling in the gaps is usually done by women.

At this moment

After Li Feng saw that the porcelain plaque he had painted had been burned, he was fine.

So Li Feng, Wang Liu, and the others went to the cafeteria for dinner and then went home.

As for Zhang Jiefang and others, they are still working overtime.

Li Feng's task for the next two days was simply to finish painting this porcelain plaque; he didn't need to worry about anything else.

This is what Master Deng instructed.

So Li Feng went home with Wang Liu and the others.

When Li Feng returned to the courtyard house, he found that many people had brought stools and sat in the open space in the courtyard.

Li Feng felt something was off when he saw these people.

At this moment, Li Feng saw Sha Zhu and He Yushui, the two siblings, carrying stools out as well.

So Li Feng walked up to the two of them and asked them.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

"Why are you all out here?"

Sha Zhu was somewhat surprised when he saw Li Feng.

"You're leaving get off work so early today?"

He Yushui was also somewhat surprised that Li Feng would leave work so early. Li Feng nodded and answered Sha Zhu.

"yes!".

"I didn't work overtime today."

Then Li Feng pointed to a group of people sitting behind him.

"What's going on?"

Sha Zhu sighed.

"Hey".

"I don't know either".

"We knew there was going to be a college-wide meeting."

He Yushui quickly nodded and said.

"It was Second Uncle who called us out."

At this moment, Uncle Er came out from another resident's house. When he saw Li Feng, he immediately said something to Li Feng.

"Li Feng!"

"You've come at the right time. An old man said he's going to hold a hospital-wide meeting."

"Since you're here, I'll inform you now."

Li Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this moment, Sha Zhu asked Second Uncle Liu Haizhong.

"Second Uncle, why did you call us out on such a cold day?"

Second Uncle glared at Sha Zhu and couldn't help but say.

"Why are you asking so many questions? This was suggested by an old man. You can ask him later."

After Uncle Er finished speaking, he went to the other residents' homes to announce the meeting.

At this moment!
He Yushui brought out another small stool from her home.

He Yushui then said to Li Feng.

"Brother Feng, please have a seat."

After hearing He Yushui's words, Li Feng was surprised to find that while he was talking to Liu Haizhong, she brought him a stool from home.

This was something he hadn't expected.

So he nodded to He Yushui and thanked her.

"Thanks.".

Li Feng then took the stool from He Yushui and sat down.

Shazhu looked at the direction Liu Haizhong had gone with a questioning expression.

"What exactly happened? You can't say it to my face."

About ten minutes later
Most of the people in the courtyard house have arrived.

The Jia family, the Yi family, the Liu family, the Yan family, the He family, and other residents were all present.

If it's the Xu family, then Lou Xiao'e came out.

As for Xu Damao, I don't know where he went.

At this point, the old men didn't care where Xu Damao was, since the Xu family had someone with them.

At this moment, the stewards of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, were all sitting around the square table.

The three of them were facing all the residents of the courtyard house.

Just as Uncle Yi Zhonghai was about to say something to everyone, Xu Damao returned on his bicycle, carrying many local specialties from the countryside.

Moreover, there were chickens tied with rice stalks on the front of Xu Damao's car.

The sound of roosters crowing could be heard from time to time.

The way the residents in the courtyard looked at Xu Damao changed.

They all looked on with envy.

At this moment, someone whispered something.

"Xu Damao is living a really carefree life. I never expected him to be able to bring back so many good things from the countryside."

"This chicken alone must weigh at least four or five pounds, right?"

After that person finished speaking, someone else chimed in.

"Who says otherwise?"

"Xu Damao is living a really good life."

"No wonder they gave me ten yuan as a condolence gift just two days ago!"

Xu Damao was somewhat bewildered when he saw so many people in the courtyard.
