Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for breaking through 1 million views. You will receive a lucky draw!”
Eh?
Xia Jie raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect that not only would he be able to draw the lottery if his popularity increased, but he would also be able to draw the lottery if his video reached a certain number of views.
Tsk tsk, the few videos I uploaded were actually played so many times?
It seemed that there were many people who liked living in the mountain village.
Xia Jie could not help but secretly rejoice.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the lottery!”
Beep beep beep…
The three-colored wheel spun quickly.
Blue!
Blue!
Come on, let me see what blue is!
Xia Jie widened his eyes and muttered to himself.
Most of the things in the world were not satisfactory!
As a result, the slowed down light continued to skip the blue grid and then stopped on the red grid.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining a traditional Chinese craftsmanship skill: The art of pottery!
[Effect: Able to master traditional techniques such as casting, clay slab forming, clay sculpture forming, clay bar coiling, kneading, biscuit painting, etc., creating all kinds of exquisite ceramic utensils and decorations.]
Without any preparation, it was as if a skylight had suddenly opened in his mind.
From the grandeur of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the lifelessness of the Qin and Han Dynasties, from the grace of the Tang Dynasty to the beauty of the Song Dynasty, from the thickness of the Yuan Dynasty to the precision of the Ming Dynasty, and the exquisiteness of the Qing Dynasty... Porcelains from different dynasties, different characteristics, and different representatives appeared in his mind.
Was he going to continue on the path of craftsmanship?
However, this skill was quite good. In the future, he did not have to buy pots and pans at home. He could just make them himself.
Xia Jie felt his hands itch.
Since he had unlocked a new skill, if he didn't use it, wouldn't it be a night walk in embroidered clothes?
However, this skill was not like root carving. As long as one had the materials, they could copy it!
Based on his knowledge, Xia Jie realized that not only did he need materials and tools to make traditional porcelain, he also needed a kiln.
This…
Seeing Xia Jie suddenly silent, Song Xiaodong asked with concern.
"Brother Jie, what's wrong? Did you get internal injuries from the wild boar? Do you want to go to the hospital to get it checked?"
"Bah! You're the one who was injured by the wild boar. I'm thinking about something.”
Xia Jie rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"Jie, what's the matter? Why don't you tell me and let me help you!”
Xia Changjiang looked at Xia Jie and asked.
"That's right, Brother Jie. If you have anything to say, just say it. We'll help you think of a way!”
Song Xiaodong also echoed.
"Oh, it's like this. I want to make some porcelain myself, but I don't know where there's a kiln!”
Xia Jie said frankly.
"Ah! Brother Jie, didn't you go to university? Why do you know how to burn porcelain?"
Song Xiaodong asked in surprise.
"Why? Why don't you bring me to like this? Why don't you buy your own books and come back to study?”
"Brother, no wonder you were able to get into university. I won't be able to learn your studious spirit in my lifetime!”
Song Xiaodong, who had a headache when it came to reading, said obediently.
"This kiln…"
The old man picked up the pipe, lit it, took a deep breath, and said slowly.
"There used to be a brick factory in our village. There was a kiln there. Later, the business was not good and it closed down. It has been abandoned.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Brother Jie, there must be some there. It hasn't been torn down. I even went there to catch crickets last year!”
Song Xiaodong said.
"Alright, I'll go and take a look tomorrow. It'll be great if it works.”
Xia Jie nodded and said with a smile.
After all, the kiln used to make porcelain was not the same as the one used to bake jade sweet potatoes at home. It required a certain amount of technology and could not be built in two or three days.
If there was a ready-made one, it would naturally be much more convenient.
"Jie, go and find the old village chief tomorrow. Since you want to use it, you have to inform the village.”
Xia Changjiang reminded.
Since his grandson wanted to do something, then as his grandfather, he naturally had to fully support him.
"Okay, I got it. Grandpa, I'll go back first. You should rest early too. Dad called yesterday to remind you to take care of your health!”
Xia Jie slightly changed his role on the phone, and the old man was all smiles.
"Hehe, I know, I know. Be careful on the way back!”
"Brother Jie, let me send you off."
Song Xiaobao, who had been completely charmed by Xia Jie's superhuman punch, followed behind him fawningly.
"It's just this short distance. Why do you have to send me off? You should go back early and stop wandering around.”
Xia Jie waved his hand.
"Brother, our village is only so big. What's there to wander around!”
Song Xiaodong pursed his lips.
To be honest, he had always wanted to go to a big city.
Especially at night, neon lights flashed, people swayed, and there was food, drinks, and fun. Compared to the dark mountain village after nine o'clock, it was much more exciting!
Unfortunately, his father insisted on inheriting the family business and becoming a farmer in the mountain village. He did not want to waste the money he earned. He said that he wanted to save it to buy a house and get a wife!
Sigh, this was life.
If he couldn't change it, he would just silently endure it!
……
When he got home, Xia Jie was about to call Manager Ma to talk about the souvenirs, but when he looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock.
"Forget it, it's too late. Let's call tomorrow!”
After washing up, Xia Jie prepared to rest early.
Face the wind!
The phone suddenly rang!
He picked it up and took a look. Heh, this person really couldn't stand nagging.
He had thought that it would be too late to call, but he did not expect Ma Dakang to call.
"Hello, Manager Ma, how are you?"
"Mr. Xia, I hope I didn't disturb your rest.”
Ma Dakang's voice was filled with joy.
"Oh, no, no. There's something I want to tell you!”
Xia Jie said with a smile.
"Haha, I also have good news for you. You go first!”
Ma Dakang said cheerfully.
"Oh, it's like this. My grandfather learned about the market for the souvenir you mentioned last time.”
" If you want to choose mahogany or golden nanmu, the cost is not cheap. Even if you use mahogany…"
Before Xia Jie could finish, Ma Da Kang immediately said,"That's easy to say. The mahogany maker is 10,000 yuan each. How about fifty first?"
Well, since you guys are so eager, I'll have to do it.
"Alright, it's settled then? As for the cost…"
Xia Jie asked again.
What if you don't want it after it's made? Wouldn't that make the old master happy for nothing? You'd even have to pay the cost!
"The fees are negotiable. Let's sign a commission agreement. Our company will pay half of the deposit first. When it's done, we'll pay the rest. What do you think?”
Ma Dakang said straightforwardly.
"Mm, that's for the best!"
Xia Jie said with satisfaction.
"Manager Ma, what good news are you going to tell me?”
"Haha, it's like this. The video that your grandfather posted with you has become popular in the oil pipeline network overseas! Your grandfather's is already close to five million, and yours is almost one million.”
"Oh, so high?"
Xia Jie could not help but be very surprised.
"We've contacted a reporter from CCTV and want to do an exclusive interview with your grandfather. Is it convenient?”
Ma Dakang added.
The grandfather and grandson pair had given Pumpkin Video a lot of face, so they naturally had to promote it well.
"Uh, an exclusive interview. I'll ask Grandpa later. I'll give you an answer tomorrow?”
"Alright, alright, I'll wait for your news!”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Jie couldn't help but smile when he thought about how his old man had worked in the mountain village all his life. Now, he was famous overseas and was even interviewed by the CCTV reporters.
This life was really full of surprises!
