Lu Zi'an took the copper tire and walked to the workbench, picked up the file and gently scraped it on the copper tire.

A clear mark was revealed on the cut surface, revealing the red and copper color of the copper tire itself.

"Um?"

Lu Zian frowned and gently rubbed his fingertips. The cut surface was smooth and the copper tire was extremely purified. However, this copper tire was not suitable for being a reborn cloisonne.

Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, a master couldn't help but step forward and asked with concern: "Master Lu, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Lu Zian handed the copper tire back: "This copper tire is not suitable. Is there any copper raw material with a lower purity?"

I originally wanted to use this copper tire to try the regeneration process directly, but the copper is too purity and has good ductility, but the corrosion resistance is too high, which will affect the overall result at that time.

Everyone felt very strange about his request.

Generally, copper tires use the highest purity copper, the purer the better. Therefore, Taixiao needs a large amount of expensive expenses every year to pay for the purchase of copper materials.

Why is Master Lu’s request opposite to theirs?

There are copper materials with low purity, but...

The purchasing minister nodded quickly: "Some, some."

Under his leadership, Lu Zian and they went to another area. As soon as they entered the workshop, a wave of heat suddenly rolled in.

The workshop director frowned and looked at Lu Zi'an's clothes, and hesitated: "Master Lu, why don't you choose good materials? I'll ask someone to help you do it?"

"No." Lu Zian walked straight in, picked up the hammer and weighed it gently: "I want to try the hammer (yè) myself."

Hammering?

Everyone in the workshop looked at the roaring machine silently. There were casting, picking and drilling techniques in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. With the development of modern technology, except for some complex copper tires that are still artificial, some first-hand tires have realized the process of using machinery to car, press, roll, rotate, and implement mechanical tire manufacturing.

Manual hammering seems simple, but it doesn’t work hard to put it in a shape at all without a few years of hard work.

Even if they can be welded together, they cannot be made if the sizes of each part are different.

What's more, unexpectedly, and reasonable, Lu Zian indeed chose a piece of copper with a lower purity among the copper blocks.

This kind of copper is not pure enough, and it is not ductile enough. It is difficult to make copper tires, so Taixiao rarely uses it, just prepare it.

Lu Zian clamped the copper block, and immediately the primary school apprentice, who had a look of eyes, quickly heated the fire blower.

The heat wave hit his face, making the back of his hands feel a little hot.

His hands were very stable and his eyes were very sharp.

When Lu Zian started to make an object, all the noise outside was left behind by him.

Hammering is a tedious production process, and the use of hammers and chisels is the key to the entire forging process, which is why it is called hammering and chisels.

After the copper block is heated, it is taken out and beaten, knocked, and repeated.

Hundreds of chisels of various forms, wooden hammers of different sizes and weights, iron hammers, iron oranges, iron rods...

Switching freely in Lu Zi'an's hands like flowing water, and smoothly outline the high and low lines on the copper plate with various chisels.

This kind of line is called a line.

There are only eight masters who can route so smoothly and freely in the entire Taixiao factory.

In the workshop, no one spoke, everyone was watching quietly.

The monotonous clanging sound, accompanied by the whistling blowing sound, formed the most beautiful music in the workshop.

Not only were the apprentices watching attentively, but even some masters didn't blink.

Lu Zian's hammering technique is more complex and delicate than what they have learned.

Many complex utensils usually choose to divide them into upper and lower parts for hammering, or divide them into multiple parts for hammering, and finally weld or riveted together to polish them smoothly.

Taking bottles as an example, general bottles are made of three sections of hammers, bottle belly, and bottle holder.

Although the joints of the objects that are hammered and then joined are inevitably slightly different, they are much easier than overall shaping.

But Lu Zian obviously didn't think so. He first hammered out the outline of a thin-necked lily vase, and then hammered out the double-layer petal shape from the inside to the outside.

This move alone has already won many people present.

Everyone exchanged glances without a trace and took a breath.

Looking at the copper block and plasticine in Lu Zi'an's hands, he let him pinch it round and flat, and it looked like he was playing.

Those who truly understand the art know that it is easy to flatten the copper block into a moderately thick copper skin, but if you want to make the surface evenly and smoothly stack it so perfectly to form the bottle body, just wiring is enough to craftsmen’s skills.

But Lu Zian seemed to be very relaxed, and he didn't even pause in his hand. He heated the copper bottle from time to time, and then continued to hammer it.

The process is much more difficult, but the petals that are hammered out of this whole project slightly protrude from the inner wall to the outer wall, forming an inner concave and convex effect, which is more natural than the joint.

Then he gently picked up the copper tire, hammered and hit the convex petals several times, until it gradually stretched out like a blooming lily, and then let out a sigh and stopped.

The process of hammering is actually not complicated to say seriously, and many people may even find it boring.

But this is generally the case in the world. The simpler the process and the single skill, it is more difficult to achieve perfection.

The way is simple.

In this hammer and blow, the degree of slightestness is only lingering in one's heart, and others cannot understand it.

But, because of this, among the many uncertainties and imperfections, many people cannot achieve such a level of nearly Tao, and can only look at the objects they put together and feel sad...

This is the sadness that only craftsmen understand.

Many masters lowered their heads silently and thought deeply about their skills from the bottom of their hearts.

The sound of the blower gradually stopped, and after the fire faded, the copper tire gradually cooled down.

Lu Zi'an picked up the copper tire with gloves, and took it in front of him for a few turns. After confirming that, he picked it up and walked out.

"Master Lu, I'll come, I'll do it." Someone immediately came forward and took the copper tire diligently.

Looking at the leaping flames in their eyes, Lu Zian clearly let go of his hand and took the thermos handed over by Ying Xuan.

"This line is really a master's craftsmanship."

"I have been hammering for decades, but I really don't have the courage to do such a large plastic surgery copper tire..."

"Actually, Master Zou, you can try it, just try it!"

"But then again, this plastic surgery hammer is better than the one that is put together."

This is certainly nonsense.

Everyone can see that the plastic surgery hammer is exposed without considering whether the splicing part is connected, and the comparison is omitted. The hammer is completed in one go, and the final copper tire is extremely beautiful.

Everyone couldn't let go of it, and the copper tire was passed back and forth in their hands.

At this moment, there is no boundary between the so-called master and the disciple, and everyone is just an admirer.

The copper tire was turned around and handed back, giving everyone a new understanding of the definition of hammering.

It was only when the copper tire was handed over to Lu Zi'an that people suddenly remembered: No! Lu Zi'an is going to be a cloisonne!

Almost in unison, several masters looked at the bronze fetus with heartache: "Master Lu! Can you not be reborn?"

Such a exquisite copper body, even if it is not glazed or blue, is a very exquisite work of art!

As soon as they think of such a good copper body, they will be taken off as soon as they say they are taken off, and they are so heartbroken that they are almost suffocating.

Lu Zian weighed the copper body and replied without raising his head: "No."

His skills focus on cloisonné, and for him, the copper tire is just a base.

Have you ever seen anyone give up building a house because the foundation is too beautiful?

At least he has never seen it.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant the others were, Lu Zian started to make cloisonné crafts directly.

In this step, he chose the highest purity copper wire.

Use tweezers to pinch the soft, flat and tough copper wire, and according to the sample in his heart, he smoothly and naturally pinched out the beautiful patterns.

After pinching it on the paper, dip it in Bletilla paste and carefully stick it to the copper tire.

The filigree pinching technique is clever, and many masters of Taixiao even need to cooperate with multiple people to achieve success. However, Lu Zian is very skilled and brave. With his skillful skills, he even pinched out a few lilies with vivid charm with his own strength.

The lily is slightly tilted, and it is clearly pinched on the plane, but it is stretched properly. Such a simple picture actually has a light and three-dimensional feeling blown by the breeze.

When it was glued to the copper tire, it felt a shy state of hanging with dew. Especially the stretched petals, which obviously did not have many strokes, easily created an elegant and noble feeling, which suddenly gave rise to a wonderful feeling: only with such beautiful filigree lily, can this wonderful copper tire be worthy of this beautiful copper tire!
