Chapter 120
"Don't look at it, the more you look at it, the more annoying you will be!" Jiang Xin closed the computer angrily.
Xu Jiuzhao stood up and said jokingly, "I'm not doing well, what are you doing so angry?"
"Don't waste your time on this, do you have any new inspiration?" Jiang Xin asked with concern.
They are now in the old workshop in Fengyao Town. Because the work was stolen, Xu Jiuzhao was rushing to make a new work, so the few people who cared about Xu Jiuzhao thoughtfully left him space.
Gao Daquan built a new one-story house on the other side of the old factory area as a workshop, and specially gave this one to Xu Jiuzhao, who was getting used to it, and slipped Feng Zhongbao away by the way.
And now Zheng Kailong, who was beaten up by Jiang Xin's serial punches and had no power to fight back, simply didn't have the time and energy to make trouble again.Moreover, after Jiang Xin had turned against one of the two wanted killers, Zheng Kailong might even be imprisoned for hiring a murderer.
Wu Jiuli has now gone to work in the new factory area, and only Jiang Xin waits on him.
"I have a new idea." Xu Jiuzhao walked to the edge of the workbench and reached out to pick up a small plain colored pottery figurine. "I want to try with new materials."
This snow-white terracotta figurine was made by Xu Jiuzhao with the clay found on the island where Jiang Xin lived.
Tang Xiaoyi has been busy for more than 20 days, and finally completed the purchase procedures for the island.From then on, Jiang Xin can claim that he is a local tyrant who owns a private island.It's a pity that this island is not used for vacation, but for mining.
The clay mining factory on Jiang Xin's island employs local aborigines. He only needs clay here, and the operation of the factory is all excavated and transported to others.
Residents here not only have to transport materials to the island to build supporting facilities, but also dig clay for him, and finally thank him for creating jobs.
What Jiang Xin paid was nothing more than the start-up capital, the wages of these people and commissions.This made Tang Xiaoyi, who had worked so hard for him, lament that he wanted to squeeze people to the bone and squeeze out the oil.What a profiteer!
Before Tang Xiaoyi came back, he went to the island to bring back a square of clay to Xu Jiuzhao, just to let him see how the clay is.
Jiang Xin frowned and said, "Didn't you say that the light transmission of this clay is not as good as Macang soil?"
He was really disappointed when he heard Xu Jiuzhao say that while looking at the terracotta figurines that were baked by trial hands.
However, he himself compared the lotus petal dish made by Zou Lao with Ma Cang soil, and found that in terms of light transmission, the newly discovered one was named Zhaoxin soil by him—but the locals insisted on calling it Palau soil. ——It is indeed inferior to Ma Cangtu.
Xu Jiuzhao raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "If you lose the east corner, you can gain the mulberry elm. Although this clay is not as good as Macang soil in terms of light transmission, it is better than it in terms of fine carcass and white color."
"Really?" Jiang Xin came over to look with great interest.
Xu Jiuzhao lifted the terracotta figurine to show him the unglazed area underneath.
He said: "To be honest, the carcass of the hemp warehouse soil is grayish yellow, and the internal elements are mixed, which makes it glow red when it passes through light."
Jiang Xin recalled that the only time he watched the demonstration of "Light and Shadow", the translucent porcelain surface was indeed a bit fleshy red like the old movie curtain. Of course, this color has a more fashionable name now, called nude color.
But now looking at the terracotta figurines, the faint light is silvery white!
There was a bright light in Xu Jiuzhao's eyes, and he said confidently: "And this kind of soil is the most suitable for making white porcelain! I have specially designed a new porcelain series according to its characteristics, and it is guaranteed to be better than the previous ones. To appear more upscale and expensive.”
Jiang Xin was overjoyed upon hearing this, and then shocked.
"At this time, what do you care about the new series design?!" Jiang Xin was so worried that she almost scratched her hair.
Xu Jiuzhao put down the terracotta figurines, and showed a rare embarrassing look: "It's not that I didn't think of it for a while, and I'm a bit idle and boring."
Jiang Xin looked at Xu Jiuzhao sadly and angrily. He was anxious to get angry here, but Xu Jiuzhao still had the mind to desert!
"Don't be angry, I have a measure." Xu Jiuzhao patted Jiang Xin's arm comfortingly.
Strange to say, he is now in a very calm mood, without any sense of urgency.And the theft of the four screens, which would have made him frightened and angry before, he was able to calmly accept the fact and immediately deal with the follow-up matters.
It seems that these are no longer things that can affect his emotions and shake his heart.Otherwise, if the important works were stolen, the artist would be affected to some extent. How could it be possible to concentrate on the creation of new works so quickly.
Xu Jiuzhao's eyes followed Jiang Xin's body.He seemed to be still sullen, restrained with a gloomy face. Xu Jiu looked at the "criminal evidence" in the drawer on the workbench - the design drawings, and confiscated all kinds of pottery figurines and mud that would distract him.
Xu Jiuzhao almost indulged and pampered Jiang Xin doing these things, without any bad mood.
He understands where this change came from, and now only Jiang Xin is his most important thing.This kind of attention is mutual, because he hasn't made any progress, and Jiang Xin feels more and more anxious because he can't help.
Xu Jiu took care of the empty workbench where only drawing tools and brand new paper were placed.After Jiang Xin cleaned up, she sat on the sofa beside her.Although he was holding a book in his hand, he glanced at him from time to time.
Xu Jiuzhao sat down on the chair obediently.He seemed to worry Jiang Xin even more.It can't go on like this, Jiang Xin's hair might turn grey.
Even though he said so, Xu Jiuzhao was uninspired and clueless.There seemed to be something in his mind, but he couldn't find the thread.
The day passed and still nothing.
Jiang Xin was worried in his heart, but he didn't say anything to add a little pressure to him.Back at their residence in Fengyao, Jiang Xin cooked a delicious dinner.
Jiang Xin cleared his throat, and he said, "It's not a problem to keep suffocating behind closed doors, why don't we go out and play for two days?"
Xu Jiuzhao shook his head and said, "No, we don't need to go there either."
Jiang Xin's worried eyebrows were all knit together: "But can't you figure it out?"
The same thing didn't work out last time, but they went abroad and figured it out after playing around.
Xu Jiuzhao said comfortingly: "This time is different from the last time. I have a hunch that it will jump out at any time. I have to stay in the place closest to the workplace."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Xin had no choice but to give up.He is only good at investment and financial management, and has nothing to do with such artistic things.
In the evening, Xu Jiuzhao sat in front of the window of the bedroom on the second floor and looked out of the window. Jiang Xin came out in her bathrobe after taking a shower.
"Don't blow the cold wind so close." Jiang Xin stopped wiping her hair.
It's September now, they live in a small farmyard, and the temperature in the town is several degrees lower than in the city.It is still very hot in the city now, and the wind here is very cool at night.
Jiang Xin put down the towel, walked over and closed the open window: "Don't catch a cold because of the cold."
Because of the movement of his arm, the loosely held belt opened, the bathrobe slipped away, Jiang Xin was not wearing anything, and Xu Jiuzhao's eyes were suddenly reflected in Jiang Xin's eyes.
Xu Jiuzhao's heart beat faster and his mouth became dry.
Jiang Xin felt that there was nothing embarrassing about the old couple, and he didn't care about being frank, so he turned off the window switch in his hand.
Jiang Xin's hair hadn't been completely dried, a drop of water slid down the hair tip from the root of his neck, flowing over his collarbone, light-colored nipples, tight abdomen, and clear mermaid lines.Then it rolled into the dense forest, and fell to the ground with a "snap" after a while.
Jiang Xin had already closed the window and faced him, Xu Jiu looked at him intently, Jiang Xin had a half-smile: "Does it look good?"
Xu Jiuzhao took a deep breath: "It's beautiful. It's the most beautiful creation in the world."
Jiang Xin's smile widened: "Really?"
He took a step forward, stretched out his hand to touch Xu Jiuzhao's face, Xu Jiuzhao raised his hand to hold his hand, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Xin firmly: "I might dirty the bed today."
"?" Jiang Xin looked at him puzzled.
Xu Jiuzhao stood up all of a sudden, took his hand to the bedside, and pushed him down.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Xin keenly felt that Xu Jiuzhao didn't seem to want to make out, but suddenly had some special idea.
"Lie down!" Xu Jiuzhao stretched out his hand domineeringly, preventing him from getting up, "I'll go find something!" After saying this, Xu Jiuzhao left the bedroom.
Jiang Xin was completely confused now, and couldn't figure out what Xu Jiuzhao was going to do.
After Jiang Xin lay down for a while, he heard Xu Jiuzhao's footsteps gradually approaching the door, and he opened the door and came in.Jiang Xin stretched out his head to look, and saw Xu Jiuzhao holding a large cold water cup in his hand, which was filled with milky white liquid.
Jiang Xin's expression suddenly became strange: "...milk?"
Xu Jiuzhao came over and stood by the bed and looked down at him: "Well, it's milk. I'm going to pour it, is that okay?"
Jiang Xin's Adam's apple was sliding, and his mind was full of "milk play".He didn't expect happiness to come so quickly, he didn't have the slightest mental preparation, what should he do if he is a little excited? !
At this time, Jiang Xin had completely forgotten the thought just now, and he took a deep breath: "Come on."
So the milk in Xu Jiuzhao's hand suddenly poured down, and the milk hit Jiang Xin's bronzed chest and exploded white flowers, and the wanton flowing milk soon meandered along Jiang Xin's body curve and slid down onto the bed sheet, quickly Damp the sheets.
Xu Jiuzhao fell in love slowly, staring intently at the white picture, almost fascinated.
Soon he poured out a large glass of milk, and the bed was also in a mess, and he couldn't stay there anymore.Jiang Xin felt like being soaked in milk, her body was full of the aroma of milk.
He looked up at Xu Jiuzhao blankly: "...Why did you pour it all at once." You can't even ask for a bed, how can you sleep at night?
"Huh?" Xu Jiuzhao looked at Jiang Xin in bewilderment, then answered the wrong question and said, "It's okay, I've remembered the scene just now."
Jiang Xin felt something was wrong, but at this moment Xu Jiuzhao leaned down, put his hands on his chest, and slowly pushed from bottom to top.This action broke Jiang Xin's rationality at once, his heart was beating like a drum, and his blood was boiling.
There was still milk on his chest, and with Xu Jiuzhao's pushing, it gathered together and flowed down his tiger's mouth.
Xu Jiuzhao licked it out of nowhere, and Jiang Xin took a rough breath.
"Jiuzhao..." Jiang Xin called his name in a low voice, Xu Jiuzhao raised his head and looked at him.He was thinking about something in his head, his eyes were on Jiang Xin, but his mind was flying into the workshop.
"Go to sleep by yourself, I have an inspiration. I'm going to the workshop!" Xu Jiuzhao straightened up from kneeling on the side of the bed after finishing speaking.
Jiang Xin was stunned as if struck by lightning.Seeing that Xu Jiuzhao took off his home clothes and was about to put clothes on his body, Jiang Xin jumped off the bed and rushed over to hug him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to the workshop at this time?!"
He was like this, Jiuzhao actually left him and left? !You said just now that he is the most beautiful creature in the world, but in a blink of an eye you don't recognize him, you heartless man!
"Ah?" Xu Jiuzhao's reaction to this meeting was really slow, and he didn't hear Jiang Xin's subtext, "Don't worry, I will lock the door. I guess it will be all night tonight."
Simply unbearable!
Jiang Xin bent down and hugged Xu Jiuzhao at once, kicked open the bedroom door, strode into the living room, threw Xu Jiuzhao onto the sofa bed, and then rushed over.
……
The rapid heartbeat slowly subsided, and Xu Jiuzhao's soft lips kissed Jiang Xin's lips.He rubbed against Jiang Xin with the tip of his nose, and said in an unsteady voice: "Okay, stop acting like a baby, I really have to go to the workshop."
"..." Jiang Xin regained his sanity from the comfortable kiss. He frowned and said, "It's a good thing that you have found inspiration, but you can't go out so late and stay up late to work. Go to bed now! Get a good night's sleep Only when you are full of energy can you maintain a good working condition for a long time."
Xu Jiuzhao twisted his body, their legs were still intertwined, and he couldn't get away.
Jiang Xin persuaded in a soft tone: "Is it okay to wake up refreshed tomorrow? You have been in the workshop all day today, and staying up all night is not good for your health. If you really go, how can I go?" Might be able to sleep. Don't worry me, eh?"
Xu Jiuzhao felt that he had lost his stability when he said this softly. He said embarrassedly: "I was too excited. Then let's go back to the room and sleep." The sweat fell down, and he already felt cold.
The bed is soaked in milk, how can I sleep?
"Cover a thick quilt for a while, and sleep here at night."
The two of them took another shower, cleaned and warmed their bodies, and then huddled together under a thick quilt and slept all night.
Waking up early the next day, Xu Jiuzhao ate breakfast and greeted Jiang Xin before going to the workshop, while Jiang Xin stayed in the residence to pack up the completely unnecessary bedding.
Xu Jiuzhao devoted himself to the work in awe and earnestness. From the initial selection of clay, he did it himself, and completed each step step by step.
When he kneaded a satisfactory mud, it was already noon, and Jiang Xin brought lunch.
After eating, Xu Jiuzhao didn't rest, but sat directly in front of the casting machine.The manual drawing machine was taken away by Gao Daquan, and Xu Jiuzhao is now using an electric one.
Seeing that he really found his status, Jiang Xin didn't bother him, just finished cleaning up quietly, and left quietly.
Xu Jiuzhao was immersed in an ethereal state, he stared intently at the mud in his hand, his right hand went deep into the mud nest, and the inside was immediately opened.Holding the mud tire with his left hand, a hollow bottle quickly appeared.
The fingers seemed to have their own will, and they slid on the mud tire nimbly, cutting out a sharp line in the palm, and rubbing the fingers into a soft arc.The thumb and forefinger slide down and gather together, and the vigorous yet soft outline gradually takes shape.
Xu Jiuzhao lowered his eyes slightly, recalling in his mind the body that seemed to be covered with a layer of glaze last night, shoulders, chest, waist, and legs.When thinking about these things, it is inevitable that there will be the feeling of the two people's skin touching the skin, and the sound of gasping for gasping.
Xu Jiuzhao's ears were slightly hot, he blinked, pursed his lips unconsciously, and began to carefully modify the subtle places.
This time it took an unprecedented time to shape the mud.Every ups and downs and turnings are carefully crafted, even if there is only a little bit of dissatisfaction, Xu Jiuzhao has to revise it repeatedly until he can express his inner impression.
The sun went down and the sky gradually darkened.Xu Jiuzhao closed his sore eyes, moved his stiff body, stood up, took a long breath, and finally finished.
The light was turned on with a "snap", Xu Jiuzhao squinted his eyes in irritation, and blocked it with his hand.When he got used to the light, he turned his head and saw that Jiang Xin was standing silently at the door.
"When did you come?" Xu Jiuzhao smiled.
"When the sun just went down." Jiang Xin came over, he raised his hand, held Xu Jiuzhao's shoulder, and massaged him to relieve his fatigue.
"Hmm~~~~" He said comfortably, and after working with his back straight for a day, Xu Jiuzhao's whole body seemed to be rusted.
"Finished?" Jiang Xin stretched his arm.
Xu Jiuzhao moved his body following Jiang Xin's hand: "Well, it's finished, the rest is to burn. I have to ask Master Shao."
Jiang Xin said lightly: "I have already asked you during the day, and he has time to open the kiln for you at any time."
Xu Jiuzhao turned to look at him in surprise, and took the initiative to lean over and kiss him on the cheek: "Great job!"
Jiang Xin smiled: "You are struggling here alone, I am not trying to do the logistics for you."
Xu Jiuzhao couldn't help laughing: "Ah Xin, you are really a good wife."
Jiang Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "What I said is, I will only be your good wife."
After talking nasty words with Xu Jiuzhao, Jiang Xin looked at the results of Xu Jiuzhao's hard work today.Seeing this, Jiang Xin was stunned.
He thought that the works that replaced the interstitial screen would be of the same type, but he didn't expect Xu Jiuzhao to return to the basics and make a porcelain vase.Jiang Xin has always known that Xu Jiuzhao's porcelain vases are good. He runs an antique cabinet and has seen various types of porcelain vases, but this porcelain vase is a type that he has never seen before.
He didn't know how to describe it.
This porcelain vase is still standing on the turntable and has not been taken down by Xu Jiuzhao. It is completely integrated from top to bottom, but it stands tall and straight, showing strength and beauty.
Power and beauty!
It's an incredible concept.
Porcelain, especially Chinese porcelain, has always been dignified and generous, simple and simple, subtle and elegant.The lines are either open and closed, or tactful and smooth. It has never been like the one created by Xu Jiuzhao today. The outline of the shape is sharp and soft with a gentle curvature.
This apparently contradictory characteristic is subtly expressed on the same body. So far, Jiang Xin has only seen this in one art work, and that is Greek classical sculpture!
It is not that there are no artists who use porcelain statues to express the human body, but that is different, Xu Jiuming obviously made a porcelain vase!
Jiang Xin swallowed something, her mind filled with disbelief.
"How is it?" Xu Jiuzhao smiled, "I am very satisfied with this work."
Jiang Xin took his hand and murmured: "You are already extraordinary, Jiu Zhao..."
If traces of skill can still be seen in the previous works, this work breaks through the limitations of all current porcelains and demonstrates extraordinary creativity.There is no carving on the entire porcelain vase, only the weapon of the shape, but it is better than thousands of other skills.
As clever as it is clumsy, the sound of the big sound is rare.The simplest is the strongest!
Jiang Xin has never realized so clearly that Xu Jiuzhao is a true genius!
The new porcelain was put on the glaze carefully prepared by Xu Jiuzhao and sent into the kiln by master Shao. This kiln porcelain was carefully placed in the best position.
When Master Shao saw this work, his expression was indescribable. He just felt that he must burn this kiln well, and that no mistakes could be made to ruin this unparalleled treasure.
Xu Jiuzhao stood outside the kiln and watched with peace of mind. He looked down at his hands and knew that he had reached an unprecedented level.
That night in France, he felt he had broken through an invisible bottleneck.
At that time, he thought it was the highest, but he didn't expect that last night Jiang Xin let him touch the true meaning and feeling of the first epiphany in his previous life.
Turns out, it's always been there.No cumbersome techniques that no one can match, just the simplest can express it, presenting any world he wants.
When they left the kiln, Zou Hengxin and Gao Daquan came to see it.
When Feng Zhongbao carefully opened the sagger and took out the silvery and snowy porcelain, no one spoke for a long time.
Zou Hengxin suddenly pressed Xu Jiuzhao with emotion and said: "From then on, there is another master in this world. Congratulations, Jiuzhao."
