Chapter 299 Coloring Technique!The craftsman’s new discovery!
The rest of the marketing work was left to Yang Jianlong, and Lin Ran came to the workshop.
More than half a month has passed. During this time, the masters have been busy in the workshop every day and have already memorized the process by heart.
Looking at the rows of pottery figurines on the table, Lin Ran couldn't even tell which one was Wei Chengbin's work.
Of course, the items on the table are all handicrafts, and they actually have quite a few flaws.
Therefore, they look similar, and there is no special old-fashioned treatment.
Wei Chengbin was at the side with his hands on his chest, directing the masters to work.
"Stop burning it, otherwise it will rot."
"Don't shake your hands when you're coloring. Your painting will be too biased."
"The movements are so nimble that the body is deformed!"
Wei Chengbin's tone was stern, but none of his men showed dissatisfaction.
They are already very satisfied to be able to study under Wei Chengbin.
Although Wei Chengbin is reticent, he still knows everything when teaching. Some craftsmanship was passed down from his ancestors, but he did not hide it at all and handed it over to these unknown craftsmen wholeheartedly.
Just because he believed in Lin Ran!
Moreover, he had learned higher-end counterfeiting techniques from Lin Ran, and now looking at the fakes he had made, he felt like a college graduate reading elementary school test questions.
The craftsmen were so busy that no one noticed when Lin Ran came to the workshop.
It was Li Yuanhao who wandered out of the door and saw Lin Ran standing not far behind Wei Chengbin, looking at the workers, that he took the initiative to say hello to Lin Ran.
"Mr. Lin, what are you doing here? Isn't it hot?" Li Yuanhao asked, and he also said to Wei Chengbin: "You really don't know how to entertain guests, how can you let Mr. Lin stand here and be roasted by the fire with you? "
Wei Chengbin also had a look of guilt on his face: "Mr. Lin, when did you come here? Why didn't you say hello to me?"
A smile appeared on his face, which was already his highest hospitality etiquette.
"It's okay." Lin Ran smiled, "Rather than greeting me, I'm more concerned about the progress of the workshop."
After all, he had just returned from Shaanxi, and the two of them seemed very excited to see him. They asked him what he was doing in Xi'an.
As for Wei Chengbin and the other two, he had no intention of concealing the tomb robbery.
So he told them what happened in Xi'an in a low voice, and the two of them were stunned!
"Mr. Lin, do you really know how to go to the tomb?" Wei Chengbin was in admiration. He could only make fake things. He didn't expect that Lin Ran would not only make fake things, but also go to the tomb to look for the real thing.
This is the true spirit of craftsmanship!
Li Yuanhao was moved by the thrilling experience of going to the tomb, and all the mechanisms inside aroused his interest.
And when he heard that there were many strange murals in the tomb, he wanted to see them.
"The murals were quickly carved out. If I have a chance, I will take you to the Xi'an Museum to see it." Lin Ran said, "As long as our store opens, we can open chain stores all over the country. Not to mention the murals, we can even bring them to the mausoleums." Just go in and take a look, as long as it's not blocked."
Li Yuanhao nodded thoughtfully, and also had a certain vision for the future of the store.
After listening to Lin Ran's words, they returned to the topic.
Lin Ran asked about the daily output.
"At present, we can produce one thousand handicrafts per week, including Tang Sancai, Song Sancai and ceramic imitations. Since they do not need to be aged, they can be put on the shelves for sale that month." Wei Chengbin answered truthfully.
1000 pieces of handicrafts, each sold for 20 yuan, is an income of 2 yuan per month!
Coupled with Li Yuanhao's calligraphy and painting, although it is not a huge profit, it is still a stable source of income.
"Well, our biggest difficulty is coloring." Wei Chengbin sighed.
Since there is no automatic equipment, the coloring of each piece of Tang Sancai requires a dedicated person.
Even if he played by himself, it would take him an hour to draw, which seriously affected their output.
They sat next to a pile of unpainted plain tires and discussed the process of painting them.
At this moment, a young craftsman stepped forward looking a little shy.
Wei Chengbin glared at him: "Xiao Wu, if you don't go to make porcelain, what are you doing here?"
The craftsman known as Xiao Wu hesitated and said: "Master Wei, actually I have a way to make coloring easier. I wonder if I can suggest it."
Lin Ran's eyes lit up, and he said first, "Okay, let's talk about it first."
He didn't think that the craftsman in front of him came forward to say this just to be lazy or to express himself. It was very possible that he had really discovered something?
Xiao Wu took out a piece of paper, and below was a three-color picture of a lady from the Tang Dynasty that had been drawn.
Several people looked at each other, wondering what he wanted to do?
But I saw Xiao Wu sticking the paper on the plain body, then picking up the paint and painting on the paper.
Then, he tore off the paper.
I saw that the original white body had already been painted with the appearance of a lady from the Tang Dynasty.
He was just a novice, but he finished painting a lady from the Tang Dynasty in less than 10 minutes, and it was not just a random drawing.
"How did you do it?" Wei Chengbin asked hurriedly. He picked up Tang Sancai and studied it carefully. It was almost the same as his own works.
"Actually, the coloring work is very simple. The difficulty lies in controlling the scope." Xiao Wu picked up the paper and showed it to everyone, "This is an ordinary piece of paper, but after I colored one of the works, he rubbed it The paper comes out.”
"Because the ceramics we produce are all of the same specifications. So I just need to paint the color, stick the paper on another plain tire, and then tear it off to get a similar outline."
“We just have to add color to complement it and get the final product.”
He seemed very nervous. After speaking the last sentence, he took a big breath of air, his face turned red, and he seemed to be panting.
After all, in this era, authority and qualifications are far superior to those of later generations!
The consequence of questioning is likely to be someone wearing a shoestring!
Lin Ran and the three of them looked at each other.
The first thing Lin Ran thought of was automatic coloring tools. Nowadays, in ceramic factories, there are special assembly line machines that can color ceramic bodies according to drawings.
But such an assembly line requires at least 10,000+ cash to win.
They are not planning to make it into a factory, so there is no point in buying an assembly line.
Xiao Wu's method just makes up for the low efficiency of manual labor and the low accuracy of machines.
"You have this idea? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wei Chengbin's voice was so loud that Xiao Wu was startled.
In fact, Wei Chengbin also praised Xiao Wu, but his tone was a little harsh.
Xiao Wu was so frightened that he didn't know what to say. He thought he had said the wrong thing and stood there not knowing how to answer.
Fortunately, at this time, Li Yuanhao said with a smile: "It's okay, just ignore Old Wei, he has such a weird temper."
"What's your name?" Lin Ran stood up and walked to Xiao Wu.
Although they were similar in age, Lin Ran's temperament made him feel a little breathless.
"My name is Wu Yingxiong..."
