How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 139 Double master certification, breaking the inherent concept!

"Okay, it's finally done."

"This is the crab gold-wrapped jade ball I want to make."

"Huaxia's top cuisine is very particular about presentation. Some people say that the food at Michelin restaurants is well-styled. In fact, compared with Huaxia's top cuisine, the artistry is far worse."

"Some dishes are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and even the carvers are at the master level."

"If you look at it this way, my cooking skills are pretty good."

Zhao Chen looked at the finished product on the plate with satisfaction, and smiled.

This plate of crab gold-wrapped jade balls is so beautiful.

The shell of the big crab is steamed red, and the fourteen golden balls on it are full of jewels, and are decorated with carved vegetables around it.

There are only two words in everyone's mind to evaluate:
Niubi!

[A boss is a boss, a level that I will never be able to reach in my life! 】

[It’s really a little sparrow pecking at the cow’s butt—the sparrow eats the cow! 】

[Brother Chen is indeed an old artist! 】

[It looks like I can't afford it at all. 】

【Gold leaf cannot be digested. After eating these golden balls, the poop that comes out is all golden. 】

The barrage is very lively.

The shape of the jade ball wrapped in crab gold was surprisingly good. After watching it for a while, Zhao Chen whetted his appetite.

He picked up a ball with his chopsticks, and ate the ball in one bite without tearing off the outer gold foil.

The taste of this crab meatball is far more delicious than ordinary crab meatballs.

The deliciousness of crab roe and the fragrance of crab meat are mixed together in Zhao Chen's mouth, making it very tender.

The meatballs are chewy and have a good texture.

Seeing him eat it with a golden ball in between, everyone's eyes were full of envy.

This kind of food, which can be called art, is a great enjoyment just in the process of eating.

At the same time, the video of Zhao Chen making crab gold wrapped jade pills was posted on the Internet.

The top-quality crabs are mixed with pearls and gold, ground into powder to make balls, and they are posing in extreme poses. Such videos quickly became popular on the Internet.

Many people don't watch live broadcasts, but spend more time watching short videos.

The number of likes and views of the video increased rapidly.

Soon, the video had more than a million likes.

"This dish is so beautiful, I want to learn it!"

"Yeah, the process is not very complicated, you can try to do it yourself!"

"I have already bought crabs and are ready to cook!"

"It looks so appetizing!"

"It's so rare that someone can cook dishes with such an artistic sense!"

"This man is a famous artist, he seems to be a master of porcelain art."

The comments in the comment area were extremely lively.

Zhao Chen also did not expect that this video would become so popular.

Diet is closely related to everyone's daily life, and now is the season to eat crabs.

So, everyone is enthusiastic.

Chefs in many restaurants and hotels have begun to learn how to make crab gold-wrapped jade balls.

Traditionally, crab roe and crab meat need to be dried for five or six days, which is time-consuming.

But the current technology can speed up this process, and the production time is much faster.

It didn't take long for this crab gold-wrapped jade ball to become a famous dish.

Many people travel to the south, and this meatball is also a must-order dish.

Of course, the price of crab gold wrapped jade balls is very expensive, and a cheap dish costs 198.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as copyright in cooking, otherwise Zhao Chen could collect a lot of copyright fees.

Zhao Chen himself posted the video on Douyin and Station B simultaneously.

Subsequently, the video also received a large number of likes.

At the same time, Zhao Chen discovered that the number of followers on his Douyin account had reached 900 million, and he could reach the level of tens of millions soon.

His popularity is already very wide.

Zhao Chen's idea is very simple, the more people he pays attention to, the stronger the promotion of traditional culture, which is better.

Life in October is more leisurely.

Slowly, the time came to November.

In the past two days, Zhao Chen went to the Traditional Handicraft Association of Zhejiang Province to participate in the selection of Ru kiln porcelain art masters.

Now he is very high in the art world.

Generally speaking, the phenomenon of ranking seniority in the field of art is very serious.

Many young people obviously have good ideas and creativity, but the older generation says that this is disrespect for tradition, which not only obliterates this kind of creation, but also suppresses the younger generation miserably.

Only those young people who follow the backers and inherit a certain craft can continue to mix in their own fields.

After 20 years these people become masters of art, they will be as bureaucratic and stubborn as their teachers.

This is a big environment.

Many environments are like this, but few people can change an environment.

The appearance of Zhao Chen broke this closed ecology.

With his unparalleled artistic level, he became a representative figure in the field of porcelain craftsmanship in Zhejiang Province.

His works are very popular now.

When Zhao Chen went to the handicraft association to participate in the assessment, the president and vice president of the association all visited him, but Zhao Chen just chatted with them briefly.

Not long after, his provincial Ru Kiln Porcelain Master rating was confirmed and announced.

This incident caused quite a stir in the porcelain circle.

Master of Double Porcelain Art!

Provincial-level official kiln porcelain art master, provincial Ru kiln porcelain art master.

Such a positioning is unprecedented in the porcelain circle.

Countless people's eyes are fixed on here.

Even some people at the headquarters of the Kyoto Huaxia Traditional Handicraft Association were alarmed.

"He is only 23 years old. He already has two titles of provincial masters of porcelain art. Isn't it too early?"

"Could it be that the leaders of Zhejiang Province are praising him?"

"There is nothing to say about his craftsmanship. It is definitely at the level of a master. There are very few people in Huaxia porcelain who can surpass him in craftsmanship."

"Young and promising!"

"His assessment video has been released, and the porcelain he made is also stored in the association, so he is not afraid of any doubts at all!"

"He is indeed very powerful, and the Zhejiang Traditional Handicraft Association has actually opened up!"

A lot of people are talking about it.

Zhao Chen's influence is growing.

Many young craftsmen regard him as a role model.

After all, we see the future of traditional crafts.

Young people don't like the older generation saying that you have to endure hardships when you are young, and you can enjoy resources and treatment when you are old.

To put it bluntly, let young people suffer more, so that these older generations can enjoy happiness.

If when I was young, relying on hard work and hard work, my skills and abilities surpassed those of the older generation, why couldn't I enjoy the treatment and status I deserved in advance.

Do I have to wait until I'm old?
This notion is deeply ingrained in the arts.

But the appearance of Zhao Chen completely broke this point.

At the same time, in the villa in Jinde Town, Liu Hanlin and Liu Ze were also discussing this matter.

Liu Hanlin is a state-level Ru kiln porcelain art master and a representative figure of Ru kiln porcelain.

Liu Ze runs an international porcelain company, which is involved in the export and domestic sales of porcelain, and he is also a proper local tyrant.

Because Liu Xi and Zhao Chen knew each other, Liu Ze also paid attention to Zhao Chen's activities.

"Dad, the Zhejiang Traditional Handicraft Association has actually passed his second art master certification, and there is nothing tricky about it. Is this young man really so good?"

Liu Ze said.

There is a lot of resistance for young people to select provincial art masters.In the past, it was not that there were no outstanding young craftsmen. Faced with their applications, the association mostly dealt with them coldly, and then waited for these people to smooth their edges and corners, and finally accepted by the association, they would be grateful to the association.

But Zhao Chen is different.

"Ancient Judge Kiln, Ancient Faru Kiln, Yaobian Tianmu, in the field of porcelain, no one in the whole country can achieve higher achievements than him."

"I have seen his craftsmanship. His ability to make porcelain is very strong, and he has reached the standard of a national art master."

"Although the traditional handicraft association is more old and stubborn, it is not blind. The perfect porcelain is in front of you, and it is impossible to pass it."

Liu Hanlin took a sip of tea and replied.

Then, he added: "The price of his works has increased a lot now. Those few pieces of official kiln porcelain seemed to cost 80 pieces when I bought them, but now someone has already paid [-]."

"And those few are out-of-print versions without rubbings, and the value is even higher."

"Most of the people who collect porcelain are powerful figures. One can imagine how high his status is."

Hearing Liu Hanlin's words, Liu Ze nodded.

Liu Ze's porcelain talent is average, but he has a good business acumen. He didn't focus on crafts, but he did porcelain business in Jingdezhen and had a lot of contacts.

"Then he is really good. He was selected as a master of porcelain art in his 20s. I dare not even think about it."

Liu Ze recalled when he was in his 20s. At that time, Liu Hanlin was in his 40s and was still running around to be selected as a provincial-level Ru Kiln Porcelain Art Master. After suffering a lot, he was finally selected with difficulty.

Therefore, Liu Ze disdained some things about the Traditional Handicraft Association.

He prefers to do business. There are not so many complicated interpersonal relationships between businessmen. If you only focus on interests, things will be more pure.

At this time, Liu Hanlin said again: "His talent is indeed unmatched. I have been in the porcelain industry for so many years, and I have never seen better talent than him."

"However, the tree attracts the wind."

"Many of the older generation commented on provincial-level art masters who hadn't succeeded in half their lives, but he succeeded."

"Those people can't see that his work is impeccable and completely up to standard, they can only see that he was selected at such a young age, and they have not been selected for so many years."

Hearing this, Liu Ze nodded and replied:
"Classic discussion of seniority, put aside the facts and not talk about it."

Liu Hanlin was full of emotions, "It was like this before, and I thought it would be like this in the future."

"But the appearance of Zhao Chen changed this situation."

"The younger generation may be getting lively."
