So Jiang Hexi took the chief to a place called Baitufang in the southern section of Luoguxiang.
Baitufang looks like a very old house with a very large yard and a relatively simple gatehouse.
Jiang Hexi walked in and saw a lot of mud at the door.
When the boss saw Jiang Hexi coming, he asked, "Boss, are you here to order or get the goods?"
Jiang Hexi pointed to the chief next to him and said, "I brought foreign friends to come and have a look. If there is any goods, of course we have to make it ready. If not, we will order it."
"Okay!" The boss clapped the soil on his hands and invited the guest in. He said as he walked: "If you want, just open your mouth. We have made it here, and there are no ones that will not be sold. The orders you placed for me have not been made.
Not coming out.”
While saying that, he took them to a studio next to him.
The chief walked into the studio and saw a large pile of white soil placed in the center of the studio. More than a dozen technicians made the white soil into a fixed shape and placed it on a turntable.
Jiang Hexi grabbed a handful of white clay and said to the chief: 'This is the material we only make porcelain, called kaolin. In fact, this porcelain is burned with mud.'
The chief nodded suddenly and looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "Oh, it turned out to be made of this? This is even more magical than our Persian glassware. Our Persian glassware is burned with stones."
Jiang Hexi grinned, smiled, and looked at the chief and said, "Yes, it feels like it is almost the same. But your glass is hot-processed, and my ceramics are cold-processed."
Jiang Hexi said, pointing at the workers who were operating, and introduced to the chief: "Look, this is the shape. They pinch out what they want to do, and then make sure they are round on the turntable."
The chief nodded, and saw that every worker was attentive, and said happily: "It's so amazing. It seems that I should really study hard."
Jiang Hexi pointed to a worker who was repairing the blank with a wooden knife and said to the chief: "He is repairing the blank, because the blank may have various asymmetry when pulled out, so we polish it out."
"Wow, it's so awesome!" The chief danced with joy, as if the person who pulled the embryo was himself.
"Our glass is placed in the mold, and then we look at the mold and make it. I didn't expect that your ceramics can still be carved on it, and this art is not comparable to ordinary people."
Jiang Hexi looked at the chief's serious appearance. Although he was not talking about himself, he praised the craftsmen in his country, which was equivalent to praising him. He felt very happy in his heart.
Jiang Hexi walked around the studio, then walked to the outside of the studio square and saw many people drawing on the mud with prepared pigments.
Jiang Hexi pointed to the person who was painting and said, "Did you see it? Although these people are also working in the studio, they are doing fine work. The requirements of this craftsmanship are compared to ours on rice paper.
The painting above is not simple at all."
The chief nodded and said loudly: "That's great, you Chinese are amazing!"
Jiang Hexi then said to the chief awkwardly: "The person who sold you a white baby just now has one less process and has such a high price, so it's not worth it."
The chief nodded and looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "Well, you said it well, you are right, it's like in our Arabs, the price of buying a painting is much different from the price of a piece of paper.
.”
The chief was about to touch the white blank, but suddenly he was stopped by Jiang Hexi. She said to the chief: "This is not something to touch. This is made of mud tires. If you have too much force, it will break."
The chief looked at Jiang Hexi in surprise: "No, why is it so scary? How did the ones behind it do it?"
Jiang Hexi saw that the previous process was almost done, so he took the chief to the kiln behind.
You can see a faint light of fire in the kiln from afar, and it can still be seen clearly even during the day.
Jiang Hexi pointed to the three kilns behind and said to the chief: "This is where we burn the kilns. It takes about three days for a kiln to burn, so we prepared three, so we can ensure that goods come out every day."
The chief looked in surprise and felt that he could feel the radiation of the temperature inside ten meters away.
"The porcelain I painted had a layer of glaze on the outside, and then it became so delicate."
The chief nodded in surprise and said to Jiang Hexi: "In our Arabs, some of us burn the soil like this, but the things we burned were very rough, and no one was painting on it, so we could only use glass."
Jiang Hexi laughed and looked at the chief: "This is called taking advantage of each person's strengths. Many of us also like your glassware. However, the paintings on this ceramic are expensive. If not, it is better to use inferior products.
It's a profiteer."
The chief nodded and hurried to the office. Seeing that the boss was still guiding the workers to draw, he walked up and said to the boss: "Boss, I want to place an order."
The boss looked up at the chief and smiled and said, "You are a foreigner, just tell me what you want to draw."
The chief then drew some pictures of beautiful women on the white paper, as well as some patterns of flowers and animals.
The boss frowned, looked at it, and said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
The chief took you to nod and looked at the boss and said, "Of course, this was drawn by me by myself. Of course, I have to follow my requirements. Why can't you do it?"
The boss shook his head and looked at the chief and said, "It's not that I can't make it. First, the pattern of your new model may be relatively expensive, and second, our workers have never made it, so it may be slower to do it. If you can accept this problem, you can
If so, I'll do it for you."
The chief pondered for a moment, looked at the boss and said, "No problem. Before, we could only passively buy your porcelain. Now if we can make it according to our own requirements, then people across the country will like it very much."
Jiang Hexi looked at the boss' ecstatic appearance and smiled and said, "How is it? The person I introduced to you is so happy? If he hadn't been yelling to come, I would have wanted to sleep at home."
The boss looked at Jiang Hexi's aggrieved look and quickly put a piece of silver ingot on the ground, and smiled and said, "Even if your introduction fee is yours, it won't be too small, right?"
Jiang Hexi looked at the chief and reluctantly accepted it.
