For example, the various tea sets made by Chen Wenzhe and the purple clay teapot cost more than 50,000 yuan. How much does it cost for Chen Wenzhe?
We only charge a fee for the materials, and other handwork does not count. Therefore, if we sell one, we will make a profit of more than 50,000 yuan.
One hundred and ten thousand is not a lot!
What's more, he can sell more than a dozen handfuls every day!
This is five to six thousand yuan a day! Including other income, his daily income is well over ten thousand yuan.
This kind of income should be better than 99% of the Chinese people, right?
And this is not over yet, if Chen Wenzhe works hard enough, he will buy a new car next year.
Mainly due to the efforts of Chen Wenzhe, the works are really easy to sell and expensive.
Seeing that Chen Wenzhe had already lowered his head and started working, and did not support him at all, Li Jinli began to feel itchy in his heart.
"Xingchen, guess how much the pair of peony vases sold for? You are a professional." Without praise, Li Jinli could only find one by himself.
"If you can't get 300,000 yuan, how can you get 600,000 yuan?"
Chen Xingchen was really curious about this, so he asked directly, and the price was doubled.
"Haha, that's almost it. It sold for 680,000 yuan!" At this point, Li Jinli became even more proud.
When he said this, all the students around him looked surprised.
A teapot sells for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is already a sky-high price for them. Unexpectedly, a pair of vases by Chen Wenzhe can actually cost even more!
This man deserves to be compared to others!
"Don't be envious. It's blue and white with red underglaze. Regardless of the shape, just one of you, who can successfully bake any piece of blue and white with red underglaze?"
"Senior Brother Xingchen, can you do it?"
"I definitely couldn't do it before, but I might not be able to do it in the future. Did you see that? In the second small electric kiln, the porcelain is fired with copper-red glaze, which is gemstone light, sacrificial red!"
"Next, what our boss Chen started to produce was blue and white underglaze red, and it was a blue and white underglaze red that could sell 680,000 pairs. Hey, this time it's a big jar?"
Chen Wenzhe's speed was very fast. In just a moment, a large can of tires had been pulled out by him.
Chen Wenzhe didn't think about molding the big can in one go. He definitely had to use tire splicing technology. Only in this way could the characteristics of the ruby red be perfectly brought into play.
He uses a four-section splicing method, with the bottom, body, shoulder and neck parts and mouth rim parts made separately.
After all four parts are pulled out, they are spliced again and again.
All are cross-joint techniques, which are easy to make. Moreover, Chen Wenzhe has a master-level cross-joint technique, and Chen Wenzhe can do it very quickly.
Of course, when making a large pot, the level of mud training cannot be bad, because for large pots, if the mud tires are not hard enough, the carcass must be thickened, and it will be easy to burn and deform.
It turns out that the types of porcelain fired by Chen Wenzhe were either bowls and plates, vases, or plum vases. These porcelains are relatively simple to fire.
Now it was different when firing large pots. He had to be careful, not to mention the fact that he was still firing blue and white with red underglaze.
Watching Chen Wenzhe making porcelain, Chen Xingchen would definitely not walk away, but just watching could not satisfy his desire.
So, he was talking to Li Jinli while helping.
"Pay attention to the craftsmanship of tire repair!"
Since Chen Xingchen is willing to learn and is not ashamed because Chen Wenzhe is his junior brother, Chen Wenzhe doesn't mind teaching more.
You must know that not everyone can do the trimming process he uses.
The large jar he is making now adopts the traditional official kiln porcelain making technique - blank drawing.
This large jar is drawn into shape by processes such as the mouth, feet, and belly, and is made on the clay blank using the butterfly knife method.
This large jar is 38cm high, 21cm in diameter, 30cm in belly diameter, and 16cm in foot diameter. He planned to make it into a large ruby red porcelain jar.
In embryo drawing, Chen Xingchen's skills have reached the peak of his expertise, and he can almost reach the master level. This is talent.
With enough high-quality tire mud, he first helped Chen Wenzhe pull out the general shape, but it was Chen Wenzhe who completed the final shaping.
In this way, if two people cooperate, the speed will be faster.
Because the speed was very fast, Chen Wenzhe kept making machine tires.
Because for him, firing blue and white porcelain with red underglaze is not 100% successful. Otherwise, why would blue and white porcelain with red underglaze be so expensive?
You must know that the porcelain he made is an authentic modern handicraft. How can it be sold for 680,000 yuan?
Beauty is one aspect, craftsmanship is the key, and the quantity of this thing is rare, so it can be sold at a high price.
Both of them were skilled craftsmen, and soon they had produced a large number of large jars.
At this time, the large pot embryos that were first made are almost drying, and the next step is to extract the embryos.
Even if it's a big can, you still have to make it as thin as possible.
Of course, this process is also a process of embryonic revision. At this time, Chen Xingchen can only watch.
Then comes the engraving, which determines the theme of the subsequent painting of this large jar.
The history of making large pots in China is long enough. If Chen Wenzhe can think of any subject, then someone must have made it in history.
For example, peony jars, Yunlong jars, Xizi jars, etc.
The same utensil embryo, but with different patterns and glazes of different colors, will have a different beauty after being fired.
"First of all, let's get a pair of ruby red peony cans with the word "happy" to refresh us. It's a good start!"
After all, I didn’t directly make blue and white underglaze red. After all, it was my first time to color and paint ruby red glaze, so Chen Wenzhe was quite cautious.
As a classic of Chinese porcelain, the golden pheasant and peony jar with the word "happy" in ruby red porcelain is an indispensable theme.
This is a classic, and it is more troublesome to bake, but for Chen Wenzhe, it is different.
Because the vessel body is already available and the ruby red glaze has been made, the last step is carving and painting. Is this difficult for him?
Carving is carving, and the themes are just golden pheasants, peonies and the word "happy". These are really not difficult for Chen Wenzhe because he has already made many.
Therefore, he can do it easily and very skillfully!
Carve the pattern first, then apply the color, and finally apply the glaze.
Carving is carving, and it is definitely not difficult for Chen Wenzhe, who has master-level carving skills and has even touched the craftsmanship of masters.
Painting is painting. Whether it is golden pheasants or peonies, he has painted them before, and it is not difficult to complete them.
The painted picture is not too complicated. This pair of wedding porcelain jars is a festive pastel painting. Against the backdrop of blooming peonies, a rooster sings, symbolizing the prosperity of the rising Chinese nation.
This golden pheasant and peony jar with the word "happy" is made of pastel porcelain and requires various color materials for painting.
When it comes to mixing color materials, Chen Wenzhe did not avoid Chen Xingchen. He even personally guided him in mixing various pastel materials.
