Chapter 1924 Two Kilograms of Meat
Sure enough, as Zhou Zhi said, as long as the first one is found, the second and third will appear soon.
On the other side, you can't stop eating the fish on the ground. The children here also cheer from time to time, and there are more and more beautiful red stones in the glass jar.
In addition to producing flame red stones, Lianhe Township also produces a stone that is completely pure and has a color like cherry. Some of these stones also have a gelatinous optical effect like high-grade jade. It is an excellent material for carving small carvings.
The other is persimmon red, because the texture is more moist than Hetian jade, and it is not transparent when eaten, so it can show the carving work very well. In addition, the color is pleasant, and it is favored by several masters of the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory.
Speaking of which, this year’s Baihua Award, the highest award for jade carving, has begun to be organized. Several masters have carefully crafted a red sandalwood inlaid cherry red Bailong Sea Seat Screen for a year. It was sent to the capital from the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory with “new themes and new stone materials.” The three major gimmicks of ", New Talent" have attracted a lot of attention, and now they have become a popular contender for the gold medal.
The theme of "Hundred Dragons" is actually not very novel, and the craft of inlaying red sandalwood is also not very novel, but according to Zhou Zhi's suggestions, the structure of the entire theme still reflects a lot of new ideas.
Generally speaking, in addition to artistry, screen screens also take into account functionality, so they are basically flat with low relief, which is relatively dull.
What Zhou Zhi provided to the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory was the root of an old piece of red sandalwood. Not to mention the roots and branches at the bottom, although the wood was quite large, it was hollow and decayed, so the whole piece was a semi-arc strip. "Scrap" with cavities and holes.
If we follow the normal treatment, this piece of material can only be cut into pieces and thrown into beads, but Zhou Zhi asked everyone to design it into a state of turbulent ocean waves and steaming clouds, and then use various cherry red carvings to The shaped dragons and dragons are cleverly inlaid on it. There is no need to consider functionality at all, just maximize the artistry.
This method of "turning decay into magic" is the easiest way to get high scores among Chinese carving ratings. The remaining Nanhong carvings are all cleverly designed and carved based on the shape of the original stone, and are also full of ingenuity.
A few steps ahead is a lunatic, a small step ahead is a genius. This kind of innovation is actually just a small step forward in several traditional crafts and themes, but it has been well received by all parties and is considered to be an inheritance. It develops in China, innovates in tradition, and improves the artistic level without deviating from the aesthetic philosophy of traditional Chinese art.
Needless to say, new stone materials. Sichuan Nanhong previously produced a work that imitated the Qianlong hibiscus stone plate Chi'er furnace. Although it was stunning, it was obviously not innovative enough, so several masters simply did not use it. Let them be submitted for selection, and only the Nanhong Pan Chi'er stove will be displayed as an experimental product of sculpture.
This year is different. In addition to presenting new products to the exhibition, the jade carving factory also put on display the ear furnace from last year as a "treasure for cabinets". At the same time, it rented two rooms in Capital Gongmei. The counters are used to build momentum in conjunction with the Hundred Flowers Award. One counter sells small carvings of Hetian white jade, and the other sells small carvings of Nanhong.
As a handicraft made of new materials, the pricing of these small Nanhong carvings is significantly lower than that of the white jade ones. A zero is missing directly after the pricing, so they are sold for one wage.
But Zhou Zhi knows the importance of hype. In today's concept, the materials that are willing to be worked on must be good materials, and the workmanship must reach a very high standard in order to increase Nanhong's worth and open up room for appreciation.
But these are all the work of the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory. Zhou Zhi is now just like purchasing Hetian jade. He has enough inventory and he doesn’t need to worry too much about anything else.
There are quite a lot of Nanhong water seeds in the Meigu River. After a while, the children filled half the bottle with large and small stones.
I found a rainwater pool and replaced it with pure water. The stones in the bottle suddenly turned into dazzling jewels.
Mai Xiaomiao held the glass jar as if she had found a treasure: "Elbow, can we come to the river to pick up stones every day from now on?"
"Okay." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "This is what I have liked to do since I was a child. But the laboratory is the top priority. When I go back soon, it will be time to start building a working group."
" This is such a good place." Mai Xiaomiao sighed: "If we can use all the resources, we can transport it. If you go." "Take your time, step by step," Zhou Zhi said, "Let's finish today's dinner first."
Change the half bottle of Nanhong water. Zhou Zhi asked several children to distribute a large bag of toffee in front of him. After making sure it was relatively fair, he sent them away.
Erxia collected a lot of fish, and half of the big steel wire fish basket was filled, plus the big catfish, which had to be carried back with wooden sticks.
There are many kinds of fish, all of which Mai Xiaomiao has never seen before. Now he is squatting next to Zhou Zhi, watching Zhou Zhi deftly dissect the fish, and receiving popular science at the same time.
The Meigu River is a high mountain cold water river. The species of fish are very different from those in Jiachuan where Zhou Zhi is located. In addition to the "basic ones" such as carp and crucian carp that everyone has, the remaining unique fish species are Turtles are mostly schizothorax and mandarin fish.
In addition to small loaches and triangular peaks, there are also turtles, oxtails, stone flatheads, and the largest one is catfish.
In fact, there is another kind of fish that is very abundant in the river, and that is the peach fish. However, this kind of fish only has a strong demand for food at the turn of spring and summer. Although this kind of fish tastes good, the fault is that it is too small. Fishing for them now Not a good deal.
There are several kinds of schizothorax, the most common of which is Ya fish. Seeing Zhou Zhi and the others bringing back a lot of fish, Gillette Abi said with a smile: "You can make fish with your elbows. Xiao Miao is a fish today." It’s delicious again.”
"I still like the turtle-less fish made by Brother Zhuzi." Erxia also helped and commented: "The turtle-less fish is easy to make, but the turtle-like fish is troublesome!"
"I didn't see it when I was eating it. You complain!" Zhou Zhi scolded: "Actually, that's it. The armor of crucian carp and carp needs to be removed, and the armor of larger fish with fine scales also needs to be removed. The armor of smaller fish should be kept and fried, and then made into a dry roast. The taste will be delicious!"
"How about today! Let’s do this later,” Mai Xiaomiao suggested immediately.
"Yes, I accidentally got too much." Zhou Zhi thought for a while: "Catfish, carp and crucian carp are durable, so we can save them for tomorrow. Today we will add a dry-roasted thin turtle and use triangular Make fish soup with diced oxtail and yellow pepper!”
“Brother Xiuzi, I’m going back.” Erxia stood up.
Zhou Zhi thought for a moment, then went to the kitchen and brought out a two or three kilogram piece of pork: "Erxia caught a lot of fish today. Since you won't have dinner at the grain station, let's take this back."
Finished Patted again On his shoulder: "You come to school early tomorrow morning, and I will cook fish soup noodles for you."
"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, Sister Xiaomiao, then I'll go." Erxia did not refuse, carrying Pork went happily.
“I think Erxia still wants to stay for dinner.” Mai Xiaomiao saw something: “You should save your elbow a little longer.”
“Erxia is awake. It’s okay.” Gilliam Abi said: “If he eats here alone, the whole family will lose two meals. Only sensible children know this choice.”
"Ah? Is that so..." Mai Xiaomiao finally realized for the first time that Lianhe Township was actually still a remote place, and many people had to think a lot for two pounds of meat.
