A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

After confirming that the matter was resolved, Li Yi rushed back to the capital as soon as possible.

He used the reason that he could not provide the cloisonné national gift in time to deal with this matter, so he asked the above-mentioned relationship.

Now that the matter is settled, of course he has to make the thing as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if he delays the above matters, he will be in trouble.

The filming here will take another three or four days, and Li Yi doesn't need to appear during the filming, so he just went back to finish things.

So after telling Liu Yifei, he set off directly and returned to the capital.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, he had already returned to the cloisonne factory.

After a few days, the progress of building construction in the factory area has changed visibly.

Zhang Haozhe told Li Yi that according to the current progress, the factory building will be completed by the end of next month.

The capital city belongs to the north, and by the end of next month, it will almost have its first snowfall.

However, the hardened floors in the factory area cannot be finished before the snow starts. We have to wait until next spring when the weather gets hotter.

After arriving at the factory, Li Yi first went to see the Jade Emperor Statue.

The Jade Emperor Statue still remains as it was before he left, and not even a speck of dust has fallen off.

Zhang Haozhe said that the first thing he does when he comes to the factory every day is to clean the Jade Emperor Statue with a duster.

He also said that a batch of golden bamboo will be delivered next Tuesday.

Li Yi didn't say much. According to the amount of golden bamboo he used, to completely compile the "Havoc in Heaven" in his mind would require at least a dozen batches of golden bamboo with the same amount as the Jade Emperor statue.

And as the weather gets colder, the amount of golden bamboo should be further reduced.

[Havoc in Heaven] is completely finished and we have to wait until next year.

After asking Zhang Haozhe to build the Jade Emperor statue, Li Yi came to the newly built factory next door.

He was used to the scent of bamboo wafting from the Jade Emperor Statue, and the smell of the brand new steel structure in the new factory building, mixed with the unique smell of cement, immediately brought Li Yi to the industrial age.

The workers have divided the factory into eight workshops according to the drawings designed by Li Yi.

These eight workshops also correspond to the eight main processes in the cloisonne production process.

However, the workshop construction has not yet been completed, and the purchased kiln has just been delivered and has not been started yet.

Li Yi happened to come over this time, so he turned on the phone and tried it once.

The effect of the new equipment is very good, and Li Yi is very satisfied.

Afterwards, Li Yi asked the workers to bring the materials and start making them.

This batch of national gift orders does not have any special requirements for the shape of the utensils. It only states that the national culture and national characteristics should be displayed.

This requirement is relatively broad, and Li Yi has a lot of room for performance.

This time, using the national gift order as an excuse to ask the superiors to help solve the problem was actually a bit risky.

Because it kind of means taking advantage of the other person.

However, the other party still compromised, because currently only Li Yi has this technology, and the list of national gifts has been determined and cannot be changed.

Therefore, speaking of this matter, it was Li Yi who tricked the other party.

Anyone who is picked on will definitely be unhappy.

It's just that the other party put the overall situation first and didn't care about Li Yi, but it doesn't mean that the other party will forget this loss.

Therefore, Li Yi did not immerse himself in the joy of easily defeating his opponent, but rushed back immediately to make the national gift cloisonne.

He wants to deliver this batch of orders as quickly as possible, and there should be a chance to ease the relationship.

After all, for those people, being able to do good things is the most important thing, and everything else can be ignored.

Therefore, Li Yi made a plan to deliver this batch of national gift cloisonne within three days to show his sincerity.

In the next three days, Li Yi once again entered the ultimate working state of forgetting all sleep and food.

Finally, on the night of the third day, he finished the last pair of [copper-painted enamel appreciation plates].

In this batch of orders, a total of twelve ritual utensils are needed.

If you want to finish it in three days, it will definitely be too late to make cloisonné enamel or chiseled enamel.

So Li Yi made a relatively simple painting on enamel.

Painted enamel, like cloisonné enamel and chiseled enamel, all belong to the three traditional enamel crafts.

Cloisonné is cloisonné enamel, a type of enamelware.

Just because enamel ware was also called enamel at that time, and its production technology reached its peak during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, so the most exquisite product of this kind of enamel ware was called cloisonné.

Cloisonné requires filigree welding, and the production process is relatively complex and time-consuming.

Painting enamel is relatively simple. You only need to apply the enamel material and then draw patterns on it.

But although the craftsmanship is relatively simple, compared with filigree enamel and chiseled enamel, painted enamel has a more Chinese cultural charm.

Because painting enamel requires the foundation of Chinese painting, the painter's skill is equally important, and may even directly affect the value of the finished product.

Therefore, all the painting and enamel craftsmen in the palace manufacturing office are masters of copying.

Li Yi's painter also inherited Zhang Dongguan, who was forced to train by Qianlong, and also learned it secretly himself. Although his level is not comparable to that of famous artists, he can still imitate famous artists and learn nine out of ten.

So, he painted twenty-four famous landscape paintings on twelve pairs of [copper-painted enamel appreciation plates], each of which was by a famous artist.

Dong Yuan's "Summer Picture", Ju Ran's "Strata of Rocks and Trees", Fan Kuan's "Travel in Streams and Mountains", Guo Xi's "Early Spring Picture", Li Tang's "Ten Thousand Valleys of Pine Wind Picture", Zhao Mengfu's "Magpie Flower" Autumn color picture》…

After being blued and polished, twelve pairs of appreciation plates were placed together, giving the impression of walking into a Chinese painting exhibition hall.

This is how Zhang Haozhe feels.

Looking at the twelve pairs of antique and extremely elegant appreciation plates lined up in sequence, his eyes shone and he exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! It can be put directly in the museum!"

Li Yi ate the food he sent and gestured vaguely: "Are the packaging boxes ready?"

"It's ready. It's customized by a manufacturer. It's definitely high-end!"

Zhang Haozhe said, ran to the warehouse and came back pushing a box.

Li Yi directed him and asked him to wipe all twelve pairs of reward plates with silk cloth. After they were polished, they were stuck on a sandalwood shelf and put into a customized gift box.

After watching him put the reward plate in place, Li Yi found a number, edited a text message and sent it.

After sending the text message, Li Yi continued to eat.

It's already night, and it won't be until tomorrow that the other party responds to the message.

But as soon as he took a bite of rice, his cell phone rang, and it was the other party who replied with a message.

"Are you in the factory? I'm coming over now."

Li Yi was a little surprised when he saw this, but immediately replied that he was waiting for him in the factory.

More than half an hour later, a black Hongqi car drove into the factory.

Li Yi was waiting at the door of the factory. When he saw the car approaching, he stepped forward to greet it.

The car stopped, and a man in his fifties stepped out of the car.

Seeing Li Yi approaching, he smiled slightly and shook hands with Li Yi: "Comrade Li, thank you for your hard work."
