Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 210 Activating Photography Mastery, Ajik's Surprise!

At this moment, Zou Bin was very frustrated by Ajik's actions, and he could only nod helplessly to Ajik.

"Uncle it is then."

"Just consider me a niece as old as you."

Li Feng found it somewhat amusing to see Zou Bin looking so dejected. The fact that Zou Bin could be so badly treated by Ajik showed that Zou Bin was actually a decent person.

At this moment, Li Feng glanced at the time at the far end of the auditorium and realized that it was already quite late. So Li Feng asked Ajik to dance some other Xinjiang dances and told Ajik...

"After we finish filming the footage, we'll treat you to dinner."

When Ajik heard that Li Feng was going to treat him to a meal, he quickly nodded heavily to Li Feng.

"It's settled then."

After saying this, Ajik grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands, lifted it up slightly, and then jogged back to the stage.

As Zou Bin watched Ajik's series of actions, he felt as if he were seeing things.

At this moment, Zou Bin couldn't help but wonder, is this still the same little girl from before?

Just as Zou Bin was thinking about these things, Ajik had already begun to dance gracefully.

Li Feng wasn't idle either; he picked up his camera and started snapping away.

Li Feng didn't feel bad about wasting the film at this moment. After all, if he didn't shoot more of this kind of material now, he might not be able to come across it again.

We don't live in the internet age anymore; you can find photos like this online with a simple search.

In this era, it could only be captured with a camera.

Next

Li Feng changed the film twice, but he continued taking pictures.

Just as Li Feng pressed the shutter button again.

A mechanical voice echoed in Li Feng's mind.

"Ding".

"Congratulations, host, on successfully activating the Photography Proficiency skill."

This time, the notification sound in Li Feng's mind was louder, and Li Feng quickly realized that he had actually activated the Photography Mastery skill.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but think.

I can actually activate this skill, but to be honest, I don't use it very often.

When Li Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but open his control panel.

Unfinished task

1:

"To tutor Ding Qiunan in English and improve her English proficiency."

"Completing the task will reward you with a random level 1 skill."

2:

The Second Stage of the Path to Becoming a Master of Ceramic Arts and Crafts

"The host will participate in the assessment and become a Level 4 Painter or a Senior Ceramic Artist (City Level)."

"Rewards for completing tasks are random."

3:

"Activate the task of painting the Western Frontier Songs and Dances on porcelain plaques!"

"Completing the task will randomly grant you a random skill."

After looking at his own panel, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the skills he had recently acquired were not very practical.

Even just adding one more level of programming proficiency would be fine.

However, Li Feng doesn't have the chance to touch a computer now.

These days, even scientists are lining up to use computers, so I probably won't have the chance.

When Li Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Zou Bin, who was sitting next to Li Feng, noticed Li Feng's unusual behavior and asked him with some concern.

"Li Feng, what's wrong?"

"Why did you suddenly start sighing?"

Zou Bin's voice quickly brought Li Feng back to reality, and Li Feng then explained to Zou Bin.

"I just thought of something."

Then Li Feng asked Zou Bin.

"Do we have any film left?"

Zou Bin then rummaged through his bag, handed the last roll of film to Li Feng, and then explained to Li Feng.

"This is the last volume."

"Once this roll is finished, it's gone."

Li Feng nodded, then quickly changed the film and started snapping photos of Ajik again.

This time

Li Feng felt that his composition and angles had improved significantly compared to the beginning, and even the lighting was much better.

With the added advantage of his photography expertise, Li Feng's photography skills have greatly improved.

quickly
One roll of film was all used up.

Simultaneously
Li Feng also gained proficiency in the twelve o'clock position.

At this point, Li Feng's photography skills had reached around thirteen.

If Li Feng were given more film, he estimated that he could upgrade his photography proficiency to level 2 today.

At this point, Li Feng had finished shooting the film, so he stood up, waved to Ajik, and then shouted at Ajik.

"I'm done filming."

"You can rest now."

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, Ajik immediately stopped what she was doing and then happily ran to Li Feng's side.

At this moment, Zou Bin handed a glass of plain water to Ajik.

"Thanks for your hard work".

"Have a drink of water and take a rest."

"I'll go tell Deputy Section Chief Jin later that the materials have been collected."

Li Feng nodded in agreement.

"yes.".

"I'll talk to Deputy Section Chief Jin about inviting you to dinner later, and I'll bring you back after we finish eating."

"By the way, do you have a dormitory here?"

At this moment, Ajik took the teacup from Zou Bin's hand, then nodded to Li Feng and replied.

"Of course."

"If I just do an internship here for six months, I can join the local ethnic dance troupe."

As Ajik said this, a proud expression appeared on her face.

After all, being able to join the local ethnic dance troupe is something Ajik is most proud of.

When Li Feng heard what Ajik said, he was somewhat surprised and asked Ajik a question.

"I thought you were here temporarily. I didn't expect you to be able to join the ethnic dance troupe. You are really amazing."

At this moment, Zou Bin nodded in surprise.

"yes.".

"How were you chosen?"

When Zou Bin got to this point, a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

After hearing what the two said, Ajik explained to them with a touch of smugness.

"Of course, it was Director Wang from our ethnic dance troupe. She came to Xinjiang to select ethnic dance performers, and she chose me from among many people." "I remember there were more than two hundred people participating in the selection at that time."

When Li Feng heard what Ajik said, he felt that Ajik was really amazing to stand out among so many people. After all, in Xinjiang, people almost have a natural affinity for ethnic dances, and everyone can dance a few steps.

Not to mention the more than two hundred people who went to participate in the selection.

They must all be quite capable.

The fact that Ajik was able to defeat so many people speaks volumes about her skill.

This was much harder than taking the civil service exam in later generations.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but express his admiration for Ajik.

"You're really amazing."

"It's amazing that it can surpass so many people."

"However, I can tell from your dance just now that you have a very good foundation in dance."

Actually, Li Feng doesn't know much about dance, but he can now judge Ajik's dance from a photographer's perspective.

Because photography requires consideration of structure and form.

Li Feng thought the Ajik dance had a great visual style, and the dance flowed smoothly with the music from Xinjiang, making him feel like he was watching a performance.

Moreover, Ajik is only fifteen years old. For a fifteen-year-old to be able to perform like a professional dancer shows that Ajik's dancing is really good.

After hearing Li Feng's words, Zou Bin nodded in agreement with Ajik.

"Yes, I also think you jumped very well, otherwise Li Feng wouldn't have used up all the rolls of film he brought."

When Ajik heard the two of them say "we," a sweet smile appeared on her face.

She then addressed Li Feng and Zou Bin.

"Thank you for your praise, but my mother told me that I must be humble, so I will definitely work hard to pass the internship and then officially join the ethnic dance troupe."

After hearing about Ajik's dream, Li Feng couldn't help but smile and encourage Ajik.

"You can do it."

Zou Bin also smiled and encouraged Ajik.

"I also believe that you can do it."

Next

Li Feng and Zou Bin went to Deputy Section Chief Jin's office and told him that they had finished collecting materials. Zou Bin then invited Deputy Section Chief Jin to dinner.

However, Zou Bin's suggestion was rejected by Deputy Section Chief Jin.

Deputy Section Chief Jin's reason was that he was too busy.

Li Feng understood Deputy Section Chief Jin's reasons.

After all, Deputy Section Chief Jin was a deputy section chief in a ministry, so it was normal for him to be busy. So, Li Feng and Zou Bin said goodbye to Deputy Section Chief Jin and then left the office of Deputy Section Chief Jin of the Ministry of Culture.

Today's task of gathering materials went relatively smoothly, and most of the photos that needed to be taken have already been taken.

Moreover, these photos taken today can be used as source material in the future.

Today, Ajik showed Li Feng three Xinjiang dances.

Every dance is different.

Therefore, Li Feng can slowly compose a picture by looking at the photo.

Li Feng also knew that in the composition of a painting, it was not enough to just have a main figure; a background and the like were also needed.

Later on, Li Feng also planned to go to the factory's reading room and the outside library to find materials.

After all, Li Feng felt that simply drawing people was somewhat lacking.

When Li Feng thought of this, he and Zou Bin had already arrived at the right side of the entrance to the Ministry of Culture building. At this time, Ajik had already changed his clothes and was waiting for Li Feng and Zou Bin.

Upon seeing Ajik, Li Feng couldn't help but wave to him.

Then Li Feng and Ajik walked up to Ajik.

At this moment, Zou Bin said to Ajik.

"Ajik girl, come with us."

"Today, my brother Li Feng and I will take you to Liu Yishou for dinner."

Li Feng felt a sense of familiarity with the name Liu Yishou, and then he remembered that it was a well-known local restaurant.

At this moment, Ajik nodded to Zou Bin and said...

"Uncle Zou Bin."

"Who is Liu Yishou?"

"It doesn't feel like a restaurant."

By this time, Zou Bin seemed to have gotten used to Ajik calling him "uncle," so he began to introduce the history of Liu Yishou, this time-honored restaurant, to Ajik.

Li Feng was also listening to Zou Bin explain these things along with Ajik.

It must be said that Zou Bin is very knowledgeable about the local delicacies and drinks around Beijing.

Sure enough, there aren't many simple salespeople in the sales department.

After Zou Bin finished explaining these things, he looked at his watch and then told Li Feng and Ajik.

"I'm going to find Brother Sun."

After Zou Bin finished speaking, he went to find his driver, Brother Sun.

After all, if it weren't for driver Brother Sun taking Li Feng back, Li Feng would have had to walk quite a distance.

So it's better if someone gives it to you.

Not long after, a car stopped next to Li Feng and Ajik. Li Feng realized that the car was the factory's vehicle.

At this moment, Zou Bin, who was sitting next to the driver Sun, stuck his head out of the window and smiled warmly at Li Feng and Ajik.

"Get in the car quickly."

"Let's go to Liu Yishou's place early and grab a seat."

After hearing Zou Bin's words, Li Feng and Ajike got into the car.

At this time, Ajik and Li Feng's colleague were sitting in the back.

Ajik found the toy car very novel, and she excitedly told Li Feng and Zou Bin.

"This car is really different. I've only ever ridden in big cars, never in a small one."

"You guys are so kind, you even have a car to ride in."

At this moment, Zou Bin smiled and explained to Ajik.

"I owe this to Brother Li Feng. If I hadn't been acting as his liaison today, I wouldn't have had the chance to ride in a car."

As Zou Bin finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Li Feng.

At this moment, Li Feng shook his head at Zou Bin and said...

I rarely ride in cars either.

"Let alone cars."

"I usually ride a bicycle."

At this moment, Brother Sun was driving while smiling at Li Feng and saying something.

"Young Master Li, this isn't your first time riding in a car."

"I heard that you've ridden in the ministry's car before."

When Zou Bin heard what Brother Sun said, he couldn't help but ask Brother Sun in surprise.

"Brother Sun, you're saying my brother Li Feng has ridden in a ministry car before?"

The driver, Brother Sun, nodded to Zou Bin, who was sitting next to him.

"Yes, almost everyone in our driver team knows this."

Li Feng was surprised to find that the entire driver team knew he was using the department's car, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

At this moment, Zou Bin turned to Li Feng and asked excitedly.

"Brother Li Feng, you've ridden in the ministry's car before?"

"You're amazing."

"In our factory, only the factory leaders have ever ridden in a ministry car. If you can ride in a ministry car, you're really amazing."

At this moment, Ajik, who was sitting next to Li Feng, was somewhat confused by Zou Bin's words.

So at this moment, she couldn't help but ask Zou Bin a question.

"Uncle Zou Bin, does riding in the ministry's car make you so powerful?"

At this point, Zou Bin couldn't help but begin to explain for Ajik.

"In our factory, only leaders of the same rank as your dance troupe leader can ride in the ministry's car. So, do you think Li Feng is powerful or not?"

When Ajik heard this, she couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at Li Feng.
