Chapter 359 The annual drama(1/2)
Lu Zian thought of it and did it, so he called Ying Xuan over. It happened to be painted. He put all the paint together and began to adjust the paint.
To shorten the working hours, the paint should dry slightly faster than the ordinary ones, but not too fast...
He recalled the paint color of Shimura Shinmi and conducted careful research.
Lacquer is a natural water-in-oil emulsion with very complex ingredients and varies from place of origin. It is generally composed of uluolol, laccase, gum and moisture.
Cut paint for one year and take two years of rest. If you keep cutting, if you cut too much bark, the sapphire tree will die.
Not only that, the first lacquer cutting of the lacquer tree will be carried out after seven years of growth, and the lacquer tree will rest for ten days every ten days. After ten minutes of cutting the lacquer tree, the lacquer will slowly seep out of the cut bark, and the flow is very small.
In this industry, there is a saying that "a hundred miles a thousand swords a dozen paints".
Paint farmers have to travel a hundred miles and cut a thousand knives from the lacquer trees to get one or two paint. Although this statement is exaggerated, it is enough to show how low the yield of raw paint is and how precious the value is.
In order to overcome the slow drying speed of the paint, which can easily cause skin allergies, and improve certain properties of the paint film, our predecessors have also made many attempts.
The ancients once added ink smoke to lacquer, but unfortunately, although it was black, it had dregs, so it was considered a failed product.
Someone once added rust water to the paint, and the uuophorol and iron oxide reacted in color. After mixing well, they brushed on the utensil, which was as dark as ink.
The black lacquer obtained by this method is also called black lacquer and black lacquer.
In traditional furniture, the one that wipes the light is called black jade, and the one that wipes the light is called ebony.
However, this kind of lacquer did not meet Lu Zian's needs, so he could only rule it out one by one and choose a better method.
After a busy night, I only made a paint that dries slightly faster, filtered but not clean enough.
Lu Zian was not very satisfied. Although Shicun Zhenwei did it quickly, it was not actually the faster the better.
Because the craft of carving and lacquer is the precise feeling of not drying, the blade is sharp and fast.
If the paint dries too fast, it is actually not conducive to carving. Otherwise, Shimura Shimizu would not choose the simplest flower carving pattern.
He just had no choice. He chose too complicated patterns. Before he could finish carving, the paint was dry. It was full of cracks after one knife, and it was impossible to see it.
"Wow, it's successful...yawn..." Ying Xuan tried hard to open his eyes and said happily: "Master, this speed should be OK, right?"
Seeing him holding back his tiredness, Lu Zian felt a little reluctant.
Although Ying Xuan never complains about hardship or fatigue, and does whatever he asks to do, after all, he is not old and it is the time to sleep.
"You go to bed first." Lu Zian changed his gloves and said while wearing them: "I'll check if I can adjust it dry speed."
Lacquer is the king of lacquer and a treasure given to mankind by nature.
Its durability is very strong. For example, the Temple of Heaven in our capital has a wooden mortise and tenon structure that has been around for hundreds of years. The beams and pillars have not rotted because of the application of raw lacquer.
The beauty of the lacquer craftsmanship lies in the meticulous craftsmanship, the work will present a unique artistic beauty.
It has clear layers, combining carving, painting and craftsmanship, solemn and elegant, simple and grand.
If Shicun Zhen did not only pursue speed and abandon the sense of layering, Lu Zian was not satisfied.
In other words, he doesn't like ordinary paint!
"I, I don't sleep either!" Ying Xuan was so energetic that he thought for a while, and went to the kitchen to bring two cups of coffee: "Master, do you want coffee?"
"No." Lu Zian didn't feel sleepy at all when he was focusing on doing something.
Although it is Quick Coffee, it is also very fragrant.
Ying Xuan finished drinking it slowly with small sips, feeling a little more energetic, and squatted down to help seriously.
At three in the morning, Lu Zi'an slowly stirred it with a wooden stick and tried it gently with a brush.
It is not dry or wet, and the temperature is appropriate.
Wait for a few minutes, then slowly cut it with a carving knife, and you can feel the thickness of the blade sinking into the paint layer.
The feel of the hand is completely different from that of wood and jade.
Lu Zi'an's eyes lit up and he painted it again.
"You must succeed..." Ying Xuan's face turned red with nervousness.
Waiting is the hardest thing to endure.
The paint was bright red vermilion. Lu Zi'an looked at the time and took the knife again after three minutes.
The knife technique is neat and the bottom is very flat. The carving knife is light and clever, the force is gentle and the carved brocade pattern is even and meticulous.
The semi-dry paint seemed like the most obedient mud, and various beautiful lines changed under his knife.
After walking down all the brocade patterns, Lu Zi'an put down the carving knife.
Ying Xuan looked at him nervously: "How is it? Master, is this considered successful?"
"It's done." Lu Zian curled the corners of his lips slightly and raised his eyebrows: "I just said, how could it be impossible."
Pig red was popular in China in the Song and Yuan dynasties, but because the cost was too high, the rivers were declining since the Ming Dynasty, and it was basically dead during the Republic of China.
As a result, the development in the Puppet Kingdom was a depressing one.
Once this paint is promoted, the Chinese carved paint will surely set sail again.
Lu Zian stretched and maintained a posture for too long and had not changed, and the joints were creaking.
"Master, you can rest early." Ying Xuan yawned and said good night to him with satisfaction.
"Yes." Lu Zi'an touched his chin, wrote down all the details of the production process of the paint, and went to bed happily.
The carved lacquer on the table slowly solidifies, and a paint film is formed on the surface.
When you observe carefully, you can see that there are layers of patterns inside, some places have been hollowed out, but they are still extremely solid.
The next day, Shen Mange was extremely excited all day.
However, Lu Zian slept until the afternoon before getting up, which was unprecedented.
Shen Mange felt very strange, but he heard that he slept very late last night, so he didn't call him.
After waking up, Lu Zian felt comfortable.
After seeing the time, it was almost time to set off, so he let Ying Xuan play by himself, and he took Shen Mange to the appointment.
Although the weather is rare today, it is still a bit cold in early spring.
Shen Mange gritted his teeth and wore a skirt.
Although he only put on light makeup, he was really radiant, and Lu Zian's eyes lit up when he looked at it.
"A white covers a hundred ugly things, and a fat loses everything." Shen Mange pinched the flesh on his arm, and had a headache: "Hey, I can't eat like this anymore. If I'm fat, I'll be so ugly."
"Don't listen to their nonsense." Lu Zian was very calm and grabbed her hand: "As you say, what is that fat white and fat?"
"..." She was speechless.
"So I thought too much. They just wanted to rhyme, and there was no scientific basis." Lu Zian smiled and said, "Let's go."
The location is Lao Shi Ding, drink tea first, then eat, sing k, and have midnight snacks after singing, and serve one-stop.
However, there were basically no one drinking tea. When Lu Zi'an arrived, only Lao Shi and two old friends were there.
Seeing him walking in, Lao Shi greeted him with a smile: "Oh, Zi'an! He has become handsome!"
Lu Zian smiled and punched him: "You are not bad either! You are much more energetic than before."
Old Shi was about to speak, but suddenly saw Chen Mange behind Lu Zi'an, and his eyes suddenly became straight: "I'll go..."
"Oh, let's introduce it." Lu Zian took Chen Mange's hand and smiled: "Chen Mange, my girlfriend."
Chen Mange wore a beige dress that was as long as his ankles, delicate and elegant as he smiled slightly: "Hello."
"Hello, you." Old Shi patted his chest, feeling that he almost didn't lift it up.
This is a damn...
So beautiful! Still so well-behaved!
Lao Shi was crying: I was beaten by Lu Zi'an's design before, but now I am excited by his girlfriend. This is a terrible life!
Listening to him saying this, Lu Zian couldn't help laughing and glanced at Chen Mange, saying that he didn't want to explain.
Well, let them misunderstand that Manman is very well-behaved and obedient.
Chen Mange really gave Lu Zi'an enough face today, and was well-behaved and sensible. He sat down and listened carefully to them chatting without interrupting.
Listening to them talking about Lu Zi'an's past embarrassing things, she was amused by all kinds of joy. She had no burden and laughed as soon as she wanted to, and would not say she was deliberately cold-hearted.
After a cup of tea, several old friends' favors for Chen Mange were suddenly filled with them.
If there is a wife like this, what else can the husband ask for?
"Oh, it's getting late. Let's go directly to the private room downstairs and dinner will start soon." Lao Shi stood up with a smile.
When they arrived downstairs, they found that there were already many people inside when they entered the private room.
Lu Zi'an walked in with Chen Mange, and ran into Huo Shiya's shocked eyes, and was stunned at the time.
The originally noisy sound at the scene suddenly disappeared, and everyone looked at each other, their eyes glaring among the four.
Lu Zi'an held a beautiful girlfriend, and Huo Shiya brought a new boyfriend...
