Yuanzhou shop was located at No. 14, Taoxi Road. This location was not in the city center, but rather close to the suburbs.
Wen Feizhi's ceramics studio was located in the suburbs because he needed to bake these ceramics himself. The suburbs were spacious and the scenery was good, which was more conducive to his creations.
Therefore, Engineer Cheng took Yuan Zhou to Master Wen Feizhi's studio in the suburbs.
As usual, Engineer Cheng's car drove at a steady speed while Yuan Zhou rested with his eyes closed in the car.
About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a large siheyuan.
"Master, we have arrived," Engineer Cheng said softly.
"Um," Yuan Zhou opened his eyes and got off the car.
The siheyuan was surrounded by white walls, which were about one and a half meters tall. There were large green flagstones under his feet. If one looked carefully, one could see green grass growing in the cracks.
"Master, I will pick you up at five," Engineer Cheng stood one step behind Yuan Zhou and said.
"Okay, you can go back first," Yuan Zhou nodded and signaled Engineer Cheng to leave first.
"Goodbye, master," Engineer Cheng nodded and got on the car and drove away.
After watching Engineer Cheng leave, Yuan Zhou walked a few steps forward and came to the two solid wooden doors of the siheyuan.
On the door, there was a door knocker with a lion's head biting a copper ring. When he raised his head, he could see the lush white locust flowers in the courtyard with a hint of sweet fragrance. "Knock Knock".
"Knock Knock", Yuan Zhou went upstairs and knocked on the door knocker.
"She's coming, she's coming." A clear female voice and the sound of footsteps slowly approached from afar.
Yuan Zhou stroked the hem of his white shirt and took a step back. Then he stood still and waited for the person to open the door.
"Creak"
The wooden door opened slightly, revealing a cute girl with her hair tied up in a bun. She looked at Yuan Zhou's chest and curiously sized up Yuan Zhou with her quick-witted eyes.
"Hello, Master Wen invited me to look at the ceramics," Yuan Zhou said with a gentle voice and a solemn expression.
"I know. You must be Boss Yuan." The girl looked at Yuan Zhou with sparkling eyes and immediately opened the door.
"Yes, I am." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Come in, Grandpa is fiddling with the plate inside." The young girl looked at Yuan Zhou curiously and eagerly, looking as if she wanted to ask something.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou entered the door and followed the girl into the house.
"Dadada, Dadada." The footsteps of the two people sounded like one was light and unhurried, while the other was skipping and jumping.
Only after the young girl brought Yuan Zhou to the main house of the siheyuan did she turn her head and look at Yuan Zhou with her head tilted.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou looked at the young girl and said after a short pause.
"You are welcome." The young girl waved her hand quickly.
"Boss Yuan, is your cooking really as good as described in the newspaper?" The young girl hesitated for a while and then asked while looking at Yuan Zhou with her eager eyes.
"Yes. It should be better than described in the newspaper." Yuan Zhou nodded confidently.
"That's great. Can I go there to eat?" The young girl blushed a little, but she still bit her finger and asked.
"You can go and line up earlier," Yuan Zhou said.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan." The young girl immediately cheered.
However, her cheering was so loud that it was heard by the people in the house. Wen Feizhi immediately walked to the door and greeted, "Hello, Master Yuan. Sorry for troubling you." While saying that, he turned to the young girl and said, "Wen Si, you little girl. Why didn't you bring him in as soon as you received him?"
"It's no trouble at all. I'm looking forward to it." Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
"That's great. Come in and have a look. We were just waiting for you." Wen Feizhi revealed a smile. He went up and pulled Yuan Zhou into the house.
Wen Si, who was left behind at the side, stuck out her tongue at Wen Feizhi and mumbled, "Grandpa is really a pottery addict."
While she was mumbling, Wen Si, Wen Feizhi's granddaughter, also followed them into the house.
This was the main hall of the siheyuan. However, Wen Feizhi's main hall was different from others. There was no furniture inside and it looked more like a studio.
On the right side was a small furnace door and on the left side was a museum shelf. On the shelf, there were all kinds of pottery, from sculptures to plates. It was a very rich collection of things.
In front of them, there was a long table with some small things on it. It looked like a place for eating and piling up miscellaneous items.
In the middle of the main hall, there was a large long wooden table. The color of the wood was clear and warm. It was obvious that it was made of good wood.
The wooden table was very clean. There were only two wooden boxes on it and a person standing beside the table.
This person was wearing a silk Tang suit. His hair was elegant and he had a carefully groomed short beard. He looked to be in his forties and was looking at the few people who entered the door.
To be exact, this person was looking at Wen Feizhi and even glanced at Wen Si. However, he did not look at Yuan Zhou. It was as if he did not see him and simply ignored him.
The person took two steps forward and directly ignored Yuan Zhou. He said, "Master Wen, since everyone is here, quickly open the box and let me have a look at the pottery."
Yuan Zhou stood at the side and did not say anything. Instead, Wen Feizhi said, "Don't be anxious. Let me introduce first."
"This is the youngest young chef, Yuan Zhou, Master Yuan." Wen Feizhi pointed at Yuan Zhou and said with love in his eyes.
Hearing Wen Feizhi's introduction, this person looked at Yuan Zhou noncommittally and nodded casually without saying anything.
Judging from his manner, if it were not for Wen Feizhi's personal introduction, he might not even greet Yuan Zhou. He looked very arrogant.
"Master Yuan, this is the master of visual art, Liu Zhi." Wen Feizhi pointed at this person and introduced again.
Yuan Zhou nodded to show his greeting and did not say anything.
"Alright, since everyone knows each other, let's have a look at my newly made ceramic art." Wen Feizhi did not mind the indifference between the two people and started to introduce his ceramic art with a smile.
In fact, in Wen Feizhi's opinion, it was normal for those who engaged in art to be quiet, so he did not take it seriously.
However, Yuan Zhou clearly felt that the person named Liu Zhi did not like him, but he did not care. He was more concerned about Wen Feizhi's new pottery.
"Pa Da." Wen Feizhi opened the two wooden boxes, then put on his gloves and took out the two pottery plates inside and put them in front of the two people.
After putting down the plates, Wen Feizhi took off his gloves and looked at Yuan Zhou and Liu Zhi carefully with a smile. He was full of confidence.
"Grandpa is showing off again." Wen Si pouted and whispered.
"But this person is so annoying." Seeing that they were all seriously appreciating the pottery, Wen Si could not help but curl her lips at Liu Zhi.
"Beautiful. No wonder he is Master Fei Zhi. The craftsmanship is really beautiful." Liu Zhi muttered and then began to wander around the pottery plates.
However, the table was only so big. When he wandered around, it was inevitable that he would bump into Yuan Zhou. Therefore, Liu Zhi said matter-of-factly, "Excuse me."
Liu Zhi's tone was as if it was a matter of course. He did not even address him.
Yuan Zhou looked calm, as if he was immersed in the pottery and did not speak.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward …
