we will meet

Chapter 19
Meng Junzhuo wanted to smoke a cigarette very much. He turned his eyes and searched around the house, but he couldn't find a cigarette. Since he completed the famous work "The Stars Come From Afar", he has liked smoking, and sometimes he feels irritable This will numb your nerves.

It took a year to go deep into the mountains and interviewed many children from the stars. They are special existences, left-behind children, and children from the stars, but no one paid attention to them.He has impressed many readers with his works. After the publication of Stars From Afar, it caused quite a stir and called on many people to pay attention to these special children.

With this book, he became famous in the first battle and became a hot writer. The copyright alone sold nearly one million yuan, and he donated all the copyright fee to the relevant foundations for the protection of star children.

When major publishing houses were looking for him to make an appointment for a manuscript, he fell into a creative bottleneck, lost his train of thought, and seemed to be affected and plunged into an abyss, from which he could never get out.

Zhao Mo saw that he had been at a slump in creation, so he suggested that he take some time to come to Yunnan to relax.

He took the coat and planned to go out to buy it. When he saw the laptop thrown under the coat, Meng Junzhuo was stunned.

He took this computer out for many days and never opened it.

He was in the dark, but a warm figure flashed in his mind, the figure standing under the warm sun, eloquent and full of confident smiles.

Meng Junzhuo didn't understand why he thought of Tong Xiaojing, and drew this picture in his mind inexplicably.

He grabbed the computer, put it on the table, and turned it on. After turning it on, he put his hands on the keyboard and flicked the keyboard with his fingers. He just wanted to record the flashing image in his mind.

At this moment, he felt as if he had just stepped into the field of creation many years ago, when he was young and ignorant, allowing him to think broadly and never be restrained.

Originally, I just wanted to record those scenes that flashed through my mind, but I just sat there for two hours inadvertently.

Zhao Mo asked Meng Junzhuo to eat outside, but he refused to agree, so he had no choice but to go upstairs to find him.

The door was ajar but not locked, Zhao Mo walked in muttering.

"You kid is obviously in the house, why didn't you respond to calling you for a long time?"

Zhao Mo was stunned when he saw Meng Junzhuo sitting by the window and immersed himself in his creation: "You are..."

Hearing the sound, Meng Junzhuo stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Zhao Mo, and closed the laptop with his hand.

"what happened?"

Zhao Mo's eyes widened, and he stepped forward and said excitedly, "You boy, what were you writing just now? You don't touch your computer very often. Why, you suddenly got inspiration?"

"No, just record some random data content." Meng Junzhuo said a few words briefly. Just like what Zhao Mo said, he really seemed to have regained his previous creative inspiration in such a short time. The string of content made him feel very good.

It's just that it was a momentary feeling, and he wasn't sure if he really got it back.

"I thought you had found your inspiration and started to create." Zhao Mo looked at him and said with some regret.

"What do you want me for?" Meng Junzhuo didn't intend to talk about this matter any more, so he changed the subject.

"I came up to ask you to eat, you boy, you didn't answer when I called you downstairs for a long time, so I came up to take a look in person because I was worried." Zhao Mo stretched out his hand and signaled: "Go to eat, after eating, let's go shopping for entertainment. "

"Ah."

Meng Junzhuo responded, got up and left, and the closed computer was quietly placed on the table.

……

Under the guidance of her second uncle, Tong Xiaojing quickly recovered the techniques she used to learn pottery making when she was a child. She spent several days in the workshop, learning how to make pottery and helping her second uncle manage the shop.

After countless times of casting, her Bogu bottle has finally completed the shape that she is satisfied with. After the blank is formed, the next step is to decorate. This is the color pattern on the surface of the pottery, which is also very technical.

There are different decoration methods for purple pottery, which can be directly decorated or filled with Yin and Yang.

Tong Xiaojing's choice of Yin engraving and Yang filling is their unique decoration method of Jianshui purple pottery, and they are also very particular about the craftsmanship of the master.She needs to sketch with a pen first, draw the desired decoration, and then carve, which is called intaglio, and then fill in the carved mold, which is engraving and filling.

If the engraving is not done well, it means that the work has failed.

Tong Xiaojing is full of confidence in this step. She has been making pottery with her second uncle since she was a child. She has learned carving techniques very well. In addition, she has learned design knowledge for four years in college. When composing pictures, lines control also good.

It didn't take long for her to complete this step.

The second uncle was very satisfied when he saw her finished work, and praised them again and again that there were successors in their Laotong family.

Li Yuan came to the workshop to look at Tong Xiaojing's works, and seeing several Bogu bottles she made, Tong Xiaojing was poured cold water by her mother before she had time to show off.

"Real gold is not afraid of fire, nor is pottery. The firing is very particular. In the past, your second uncle did it. The temperature of the firing is above [-] degrees. If it is not good, it will be scrapped. This time you do it yourself. Maybe it’s all gone.”

"Mom, how can you hit me like this, what if I succeed in firing all of them?"

Li Yuan glared at her, and said with a smile: "Then you, like your second uncle, will become a master of purple pottery."

Tong Xiaojing listened to her mother's words, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "That's a good idea. If I really want to become a master, I will be the first to thank you."

When Li Yuan heard this, she shook her head quickly: "Just do it. If you want to do this, your father will not agree. Your father is still counting on you to have a decent job in the future to make him look good."

When Tong Xiaojing heard this, she smiled: "I haven't become a master yet! When I become a master, I will have a long face."

"Stop making a fuss, clean up your pottery, wash your hands and go home to eat, the Chinese New Year will be in two days, let's fix the house together, your dad doesn't know how to get windy, so he suddenly bought couplets, lanterns, and said It is to hang up the inside and outside of the house."

Tong Xiaojing watched her mother turn around to look for her second uncle, and she took another look at the Bogu bottle she had carved and filled. The next step is to burn it. She must learn from her second uncle how to control the heat. Like the second uncle, the rate of finished products is extremely high. high.

As the Chinese New Year approached, Tong Xiaojing helped the family to take care of it and decorated the cozy little home, which was brightly red inside and out. In her memory, this home had never been so lively.

Father and mother had already started preparing the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner, while Tong Xiaojing took her second uncle to the workshop to start firing the Bogu bottles she made herself.
