"What?" Wen Zhuo seemed to notice his gaze.

"It's nothing." Lin Yunqing pursed her lips and said nothing.He was a little too lazy to say that he had already decided to solve this matter by himself, so there was no need to bother Wen Zhuo.but……

Luo Xing is different, he is the protagonist of that novel and will be with Wen Zhuo in the future.

To be honest, at first he felt that who Wen Zhuo was with was none of his business, but now it's a little hard to accept.

"By the way." Zhao Yan's voice suddenly rang out, "Isn't Grandpa Wen's birthday coming soon? Did Brother Wen prepare any presents?"

"Not ready." Wen Zhuo replied very simply.

"That's just right. Grandpa Wen likes ceramics. Brother Wen, you can make one yourself. How sincere. If you do it yourself, even if you make a bowl, Grandpa Wen will be happy." Zhao Yan came up with an idea, "If not I have already prepared a gift, and I will learn from Yun Qing now."

Wen Zhuo lowered his eyes and glanced at the person next to him, and lazily replied: "I'm not interested."

"Then Yunqing, you teach me, and I'll make one for my old man."

Lin Yunqing scratched her head: "It may take several days, and the time may be too late. It will take four days just to burn the kiln."

"Ah, that was quite a long time." They originally planned to return to Xiacheng after two or three days.

A few people quickly brought back the things they needed to buy, and the delivery vehicle followed them all the way back to the village.

Workers were installing furniture in the house, while a few of them squatted in the corner and continued to paint the walls.

"Yunqing, when shall we knead pottery?" Shu Qing held the small roller and moved it to his side.

"Do you want to pinch it? It will take at least four days. How long do you want to stay here?"

"It's okay. I'm not like those people. I can endure loneliness and I don't need to work. I can stay with you for four or five years."

"Heh, who is like you, who idles around all day long." Lu Cai squeezed beside him, sneering, don't think he doesn't know, Shu Qing just wants to take this opportunity to make something to please the old men.

"Yunqing, I want to do it too." Lu Cai snorted.

"I want it too." Zhao Yan also came over.

Lin Yunqing: ...

"Is the wall finished?" Wen Zhuo's indifferent voice suddenly sounded behind them, "If the wall is not finished, there is no food to eat, let alone pottery figurines."

Under Mr. Wen's earnest orders, several people improved their work efficiency and finished painting the wall that night.

After dinner, Lin Yunqing led them to the utility room.

"This is the leftover soil raw material that grandpa used before." Lin Yunqing bent slightly, and removed the lid of a large tank, which contained large pieces of mud. broken."

"My little niece's kindergarten had a kneading activity before, and they seemed to use that kind of soft colorful soil." Zhao Yan looked at the big vat of dried mud and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"Well, there are a lot of ready-made clay now, but our family still uses the old method a long time ago, which is more troublesome and time-consuming." Lin Yunqing scratched her head embarrassingly.

"This is a traditional handicraft, can it be the same as your little niece playing with mud?!" Shu Qing raised his hand and patted Zhao Yan, "Grandpa Yunqing's handicraft may be able to apply for intangible cultural heritage."

"No, no, it's too exaggerated." Lin Yunqing smiled and waved his hands, "Grandpa didn't make a living from this before he was alive, he just played with it when he was interested. At most, he used to help make pottery for the ancestral halls in a few nearby villages. picture."

Shu Qing looked at the exquisite and vivid pottery statue on the wooden frame, he didn't think it was just a work of amateur interest.

"Yunqing, are you home?" At this moment, a shout came from outside the door.

Lin Yunqing put down the mud in his hands, went out, and saw an old woman standing at the door of his house carrying a plastic bag, it was Grandma Zhang next door.

"My family grows too many tomatoes to eat. I'll give you some." Grandma Zhang handed him the bag with a smile.

"Hey, okay, thank you, Grandma Zhang." Lin Yunqing took the bag, "Wait a minute." Then, he ran into the house and brought out a bag of candy, "Grandma Zhang, here are you."

Grandma Zhang hastily refused.

"It's okay, I accidentally bought the wrong one, and we guys don't like sweets either." Lin Yunqing said with a smile.

Only then did Grandma Zhang pick it up, but she didn't leave immediately, but pulled Lin Yunqing and said, "Yunqing, we thought you weren't coming back." Speaking of this, she sighed.

"You see, our village has changed a lot. Every family has built a new house, and cement roads have been built everywhere, all of which are supported by the government. A few years ago, the county even brought people over to ask for your grandfather."

"Huh?" Lin Yunqing couldn't help being taken aback, "Why are you looking for my grandfather?"

"They said that your grandfather was good at making pottery, and they went to the ancestral hall in the village to see the Lord of the Land. The Lord of the Land was made by your grandfather. They wanted to take the Lord of the Earth back and put it in some museum, but this How can this be done, this is the Land Lord of our village. They still want to know where you have been, but we don’t know where you went with your father, so you are back. If you have time, please go to the village head. "

Grandma Zhang rambled on for a while before leaving.

Seeing her leaving back, Lin Yunqing was a little stunned.

"Let me just say, the old craftsmanship of the Yunqing family must be protected and passed on now." Shu Qing came out. At present, the public in China generally knows more about porcelain, but not pottery. The ceramics are confused, Grandpa Yunqing does not make ordinary pottery, but exquisite pottery sculptures of figures, this craft is very rare.

"Grandpa has passed away." Lin Yunqing's expression was a little sad, he was not around, and the craftsmanship has not been passed down, so it is meaningless to trace these things now.

"Yunqing, don't you know how to do it?" Lu Cai stepped forward and hooked his shoulder, "You are the inheritor of skills." Whether it is him or Zhao Yan, they are influenced by their grandfather, although they don't admire these craftsmen, But always respectful.

"I can only make simple pottery, I have no talent." Lin Yunqing lowered her head and smiled sheepishly.Grandpa always devotes great enthusiasm and amazing creativity when making pottery sculptures, but he is not. Even under the long-term influence of grandpa, his skills in pottery sculptures do not seem to be outstanding.

Wen Zhuo glanced at him sideways, and said in a low voice, "At least you can do it, which is much better than some people who only specialize in shopping for toys, cars, eating, drinking and having fun."

A few people who only know how to eat, drink and have fun: ... don't need to praise or step on them.

"Is Wen always praising me?" Lin Yunqing looked up at him, her tone much lighter.

Wen Zhuo snorted coldly, then turned his head: "Comparatively speaking, it's okay."

Lin Yunqing's eyes lit up with a slight smile: "I heard that Grandpa Wen's birthday is coming soon, I think it's a good idea for President Wen to personally make a ceramic sculpture for Grandpa Wen."

He remembered that in the plot of the novel, Luo Xing presented pottery to Grandpa Wen at the birthday banquet, which was deeply loved by Grandpa Wen, and because of this, he got in touch with Wen Zhuo.If... If Wen Zhuo made pottery for Grandpa Wen himself, wouldn't Luo Xing's gift look so brilliant?

Lin Yunqing couldn't help biting his lower lip with his upper teeth. He looked gentle on the surface, but he still gave Wen Zhuo a guilty glance.

"No." Mr. Wen's refusal was very decisive, "Why do I have to do it myself for things that can be solved with money."

Lin Yunqing: ...

"What's more, you are my life assistant, and it is also within your duty to help me prepare gifts for my elders." Mr. Wen's capitalist speech was very natural.

Lin Yunqing curled her lips: "Mr. Wen, it's the May Day holiday, a national holiday, and I don't have to work for you."

"Counting overtime pay, three times the wages."

"That's fine, but the pottery sculptures I make by myself have to be counted as labor costs and material costs."

"Market price."

"No problem, deal, what kind does Grandpa Wen like?"

"Whatever, choose what you are good at."

Lu Cai and the others watched in silence as the two reached a deal in the back and forth conversations.

Until Shu Qing's "puchi" laughter interrupted the conversation between the two: "Yun Qing can help me make one too."

Lu Cai and Zhao Yan glared at him fiercely, they didn't have any vision at all, he was communicating with each other, why did he join him? !

"Time is running out, first come, first served, do you understand?" Zhao Yan said to Shu Qing.

"That's right, time is tight, and Yunqing still has to teach us. It's already amazing to be able to do one." Lu Cai echoed.

Lin Yunqing also looked at Shu Qing with a little apology: "It's really not enough time, can I do it next time?"

"It's okay, you can wait as long as you want." Shu Qing put his arm on his shoulder affectionately.

Wen Zhuo frowned, and calmly stretched out his hand to push that obtrusive paw off Lin Yunqing's shoulder: "Time is running out, why don't you hurry up and work?"

"Yes yes yes." Lin Yunqing walked towards the utility room.

"Yunqing, can I take a picture of your process of making pottery sculptures?" Shu Qing took out her phone and asked.

Lin Yunqing nodded: "Yes."

Perhaps it was because Shu Qing was filming on the sidelines, and Lin Yunqing explained by the way during the work: "Our first step is to process raw materials. I can do this alone, and we will carry out molding tomorrow."

He took out different mud blocks from the tank, put them in several clean small water tanks one by one, smashed the mud blocks with a small hammer, and then added water to soak them.

"This step is to remove the impurities of the soil through natural dissolution and precipitation, and the origin and calcination performance of these soils are different, and mature soil will be mixed later as needed."

Then pour the muddy water through the strainer, leaving a puddle of mud paste.

Wen Zhuo leaned against the door, crossed his hands, and watched his operation quietly.

Lin Yunqing bent over, his slightly long hair slid over his ears and fell to the side of his face. He held the dark brown water tank with both hands, and watched the muddy water filter through the filter with his eyes downcast, with a serious expression.

He is not unfamiliar with this expression, it was also the same when Ah Qing was studying, it was so fascinating.

Wen Zhuo pursed his lips.

"Okay." Lin Yunqing straightened up and clapped his hands, "The next step is to wait for the mud paste to absorb water and turn into soft mud. Let's go back to rest first, and we can start kneading the soil tomorrow."

"It's amazing." Shu Qing looked at the original tools and production process in the camera, amazed, the pictures in the camera always have an indescribable beauty.

Lin Yunqing went out to wash her hands, while Shu Qing posted the video to a large group.

After a while, questions were raised in the group.

"What is this doing?"

"Are you making that G city snack, rice rolls?"

"My friend is preparing to knead pottery, we can knead together tomorrow!" Shu Qing explained.

The few elderly people who usually don't show up in the group are also quite concerned at this time.

"Knead pottery? Is this mixing mud?"

"I guess so." Then Shu Qing posted a few pictures of pottery statues.

"My friend's grandfather made it, isn't it amazing?! Today I heard that the relevant departments have come to inquire about it, but it's a pity that Grandpa Lin has passed away for a long time."

"This is... where are you guys?"

Shu Qing sent a location directly.

"I see, I see." Grandpa Wen directly sent a voice in the group, with a very excited tone, "This is Lin's pottery sculpture, but I didn't expect the Lin family to go there!"
