There is a large table ten meters long inside, on which the finished porcelain is arranged in sets.
Those exquisite, paper-thin teacups, teapots and vases are as transparent as fine suet jade and sapphire under the sunlight, and are dazzling, smooth and pleasant.
It’s true: this thing should only exist in heaven, and how many times can we see it in the human world.
Tao Guangming laughed: "Hey, it looks like a treasure exhibition."
Factory Director Liang blushed with excitement: "No, we can't wait to take this batch of porcelain to the expo right now."
Li Wenjun smiled: This kind of thin-bodied, light-glazed porcelain was used by the royal family before, and only wealthy families could use it. Twenty years later, it was very common, but now it is indeed as rare as jewelry and jade.
Director Liang rubbed his hands and said anxiously: "Comrade Li Wenjun, what do you think about it? Is there anything that needs improvement?"
Li Wenjun looked at each set, and found that except for the occasional imperfection in the glaze pattern, there were basically no flaws. The colors were neither outstanding nor too flattering.
He nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the pass rate of your product should be less than 10%."
Director Liang was full of admiration: "Yes, Comrade Li Wenjun is really awesome. We really have to run ten kilns to make one."
Li Wenjun smiled: "Then I will give you more money."
Factory Director Liang shook his head: "This is not important. I need your authorization, and then give me more designs. I plan to produce them directly for the capital."
Li Wenjun nodded: "Okay, your production level has not wasted my design. I will design two more sets of tableware for you this time. There are four sets, which is enough for you. You follow our agreement and you pay me according to the sales volume.
The design will be commissioned."
Director Liang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, great." He was as happy as a child. As the director of the factory, he understood better than anyone else that good design is as rare as winning the lottery.
The fact that Li Wenjun came to him was like a big pie falling on his head.
-----
Li Wenjun settled the balance of the porcelain with Director Liang and began to draw the drawings of new porcelain. Tao Guangming watched Director Liang direct his people and carefully wrapped the twenty sets of tea sets one by one in crepe paper.
Then he put it into a wooden box lined with thick straw and cotton, and then carried it to the trunk of his car.
Tao Guangming asked them to bring some ropes and fix the box on the car seat. There was a section of the road along a muddy path, and it was really a skill-testing job to transport it to the county department store without breaking.
Li Wenjun drew two sets of tableware and more than a dozen pieces of paper, even marking the sizes. After he finished drawing, he rubbed his sore wrists and fingers and raised his chin towards Director Liang: "Take a look, how does it go?"
Director Liang looked at it and nodded: "Okay, okay, all very good. I can see that you have designed two completely different styles. You are really thoughtful."
Li Wenjun smiled: "My wife is good at painting. When I get back, I will ask her to design a few more sets for you."
Factory Director Liang hurriedly put down the drawings and shook Li Wenjun's hand vigorously: "That's great. I just said why Comrade Li Wenjun's aesthetics is so outstanding, it turns out he has a good wife."
Tao Guangming was sweating profusely and jumped out of the car: "Let's go, otherwise we don't know when we will arrive."
The key is to open it slowly to prevent the porcelain from shattering.
Li Wenjun hurriedly said goodbye to Factory Director Liang and jumped into the passenger seat.
Along the way, Tao Guangming was extremely nervous.
On weekdays, he drives this military jeep through mud and water, and rushes through rivers, beaches, and mountain roads. He has never been so frustrated.
If you step on the accelerator, you're afraid of being too fast and too bumpy. If you don't step on the accelerator, you're afraid of going too slow and stalling, making it difficult to climb hills. You also have to avoid mud pits and rock piles, and avoid the cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and children that pop out from time to time.
Coupled with the hot weather and hunger, he was extremely irritable, but he could only hold it in because he was driving.
Li Wenjun knew it was difficult to drive, so he didn't dare to say a word and looked at the road nervously.
"Do you want me to drive?" Li Wenjun asked twice.
Tao Guangming just shook his head: "If you drive into the fields, we will lose all our efforts today."
It took an hour and a half to get here, and a full two and a half hours to go back. We finally got back to the county department store after one o'clock in the afternoon.
Tao Guangming parked the car in the unloading area.
Li Wenjun jumped down and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Tao Guangming didn't move or speak, he just sat there and looked ahead.
Li Wenjun leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?" The tension was so high for three hours that no one could stand it. He was so worried that something would go wrong with Tao Guangming.
Tao Guangming seemed to have woken up from his coagulation, frowning and gasping: "Hiss, I'm dead. My legs are cramped."
Li Wenjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm having cramps. Just say something. If you're so silent, I thought you fainted."
Tao Guangming cursed and got out of the car with the help of Li Wenjun: "I'm so dizzy, I can't even open my eyes. When we get out of here, we will never have any friendship. You are so annoying. You can come up with new ways to torture every day."
Me. Did I owe you in my previous life? How much do I owe you? Tell me how much I owe you. It’s better for me to pay you back all at once than to live without dying."
Li Wenjun laughed even more when he was scolded by Tao Guangming: "When Sister Hui sees the porcelain, you won't scold me." Another reason why he is so anxious and spends so much time making porcelain is that he wants to pass Tao
Guangming gave it to Tao Luyao. Although I don’t know why they prepared a gift for Tao Luyao.
Tao Guangming must have had this thought, otherwise he would not be so cautious and hard-working.
Tao Guanghui brought people down to unload the goods. Tao Guangming immediately stopped complaining: "Sister, move it to your office first, don't put it in the warehouse."
Tao Guanghui understood immediately and asked someone to carry the two large wooden boxes to her office: "Be careful, open the boxes, and comrades go out and get busy."
Li Wenjun helped Tao Guangming up and let him sit down. Then he took out two sets of tea sets and several vases from each of the two boxes, unpacked them and placed them on the table.
Now placed on Tao Guanghui's desk, it looks more beautiful than when placed on the dirty workbench of the Red Star Porcelain Factory just now.
Tao Guanghui's eyes lit up: "Wow, this is so beautiful. It's so high-end that I don't want to touch it." She carefully picked it up one by one and looked at it. The cup was only half the size of a palm, as thin as paper, with smooth and light lines.
, compared with the thick and clumsy porcelain they saw before, this time the teacups and teapots were like elves and clouds falling into the world. It was unimaginable that they were actually made of clay.
Li Wenjun smiled: "If Sister Hui also thinks it's good, just choose one set and I'll give it to Leader Tao."
Tao Guangming finally regained his composure and said aloud: "Whatever you choose, keep them all for me. Even the vases are not allowed to be taken away. We can give them away if we don't need them. Such good things cannot be left behind."
In the hands of others, I still have many important people to move around."
Tao Guanghui rolled his eyes: "What important person?! I don't have to think about it to know who you want to keep it for."
