The time was almost four or five o'clock in the morning, and the sky was just slightly bright! Xiao Zhang finally stopped, and he finally arranged all the nearly ten pots of glaze in front of him.

This pot is all different with a different metal glaze......

In order to prevent himself from being confused about which is which, Xiao Zhang finally got confused, and deliberately labeled it......

This metal glaze is indeed very difficult to operate! Because the glaze firing of Tang Sancai is completely different from Ru porcelain.

Lead is also needed for firing!

It is to use lead-containing oxide as a flux to reduce the melting temperature of the glaze.

In the firing process, metal oxides containing copper, iron, cobalt and other elements are used as colorants to melt into the lead glaze to form a variety of colors such as yellow, green, blue, white, purple, brown and so on.

Of course, Tang Sancai is a kind of low-temperature lead glaze pottery, adding different metal oxides in the color glaze, it is mainly the color glaze painted on the pottery, chemical changes occur in the baking process, the color glaze changes, infiltrates each other, mottled and dripping, the color is naturally coordinated, the pattern is smooth, it is a traditional handicraft with a unique style of China.

Tang Sancai in the mutual reflection of colors, showing the magnificent artistic charm.

Xiao Zhang stood up and rubbed his shoulders! Then he went to look at the three mud tires, after this night's drying, these three mud tires can basically enter the kiln to start a fever, although no one in the field has come yet, but Xiao Zhang is ready to be the first person himself!

I was the last to go last night, and today I am naturally the first to burn!

By the time everyone came, they were no longer here, but were opening a kiln at the Ru porcelain competition venue next to it!

Xiao Zhang counted the time, he had not gone back since he went to light the kiln where Ru porcelain was burned, and it had all passed overnight.

According to the time, the craftsmen and masters of other people's competitions are afraid that the glaze has already dried and is ready to open the kiln, and their own vegetarian burning has not yet opened the kiln, which is a bit embarrassing.

Xiao Zhang sighed, no way, who let himself participate in two games, if this is a little staggered, it won't be like this.

But fortunately, Hong Qigong greeted him, no matter how he tossed, there would be no problems, which made Xiao Zhang more relieved.

Xiao Zhang didn't say much, directly opened the kiln door, and put the three Tang Sancai artifacts into the kiln in turn.

This kiln mouth is relatively large, and Xiao Zhang's first place in it is naturally his largest traveling figurine!

That's right, Xiao Zhang decided to make a name for himself first......

After all, there are more characters in it.

This Tang Sancai mud tire, which is almost one meter long and half a meter wide, was carefully put into the kiln by Xiao Zhang, and after just putting it in, it didn't take up too much space.

It's good if the kiln is big.

Xiao Zhang put the aromatherapy burner and the holding pot in again.

Compared with this figurine, this pot and aromatherapy burner are younger brothers......

It doesn't take up space at all.

This Tang Sancai's vegetarian roast is very time-consuming, about a day and a night, and the temperature is a thousand degrees.

Xiao Zhang adjusted the temperature, and then left Tang Sancai's competition scene.

Not long after Xiao Zhang left, this person came up one after another.

Although it is still early at this time, everyone knows that the mud tire has ended, so it is more urgent to come over and open the kiln quickly, and there will be almost a day and a night of free time after the kiln is fired.

So when most people come here, they find that work has already begun in Xiao Zhang's kiln......

When he left last night, Xiao Zhang hadn't left yet, but this morning he had already started to burn, didn't he leave all night?

It's pretty hard......

Xiao Zhang is also helpless......

Although Tang Sancai is ahead of all the people here......

But in Ruci, everyone is lagging behind......

Xiao Zhang hurriedly went to the competition site of Ru porcelain.

When he arrived at the scene, Xiao Zhang found that people had arrived at the venue one after another.

But Xiao Zhang didn't have time to say hello to these people, but went directly to his kiln.

According to the time, I can just turn off the fire now......

Xiao Zhang let out a sigh of relief, and finally caught up.

If you don't have a good grasp of your time, even the inner tube is burned out, and this game will not need to talk about the problems after it, and it can directly end in failure.

Although Xiao Zhang has never failed to burn vegetarian tires for so long.

But the premise is that Xiao Zhang has been guarding the kiln, guarding it for a moment, and checking from time to time, this night is not there, the kiln is opened and left, and he will come back when the fire is out, Xiao Zhang is still the first time.

It's also a shame that Xiao Zhang is really bold.

After Xiao Zhang extinguished the fire, he was ready to let the kiln slowly cool down, and he went out to eat first......

That's right, after a hard time, Xiao Zhang is really hungry again.

I'm really hungry.

It may be that the physical exertion is relatively large.

Xiao Zhang was not ambiguous, and went directly to the steamed bun stall outside alone, and ate six steamed buns in one go.

This is a big soft and delicious bun, and you can eat one in almost three bites.

Xiao Zhang rubbed his big belly, which was a little round like a gooseneck bottle, and then drank another glass of bean juice......

Xiao Zhang began to carefully plan how to plan the next time, he is a man who wants to be a master of time management!

That's right, Xiao Zhang's current state is like this, due to not having a good sleep for a long time, his eyes are always bloodshot, and his eye sockets are always a little blue...... If you don't have a good rest, you can't adjust it at all, and Xiao Zhang's complexion is very pale...... It's all due to continuous day and night exertion, plus poor rest......

But Xiao Zhang was still able to manage the time reasonably and hold the Ru porcelain competition and the Tang Sancai competition at the same time, isn't this the best proof!

On the way back, Xiao Zhang secretly said that his Ru porcelain must be in progress, and he will glaze it when he goes back, and then wait for the glaze to dry and go back to see the situation in Tang Sancai's kiln.

At noon, the secondary firing will be started after the dry is basically completed......

Basically, everyone is fired twice in the morning, and they are half a day late, which is not too late......

It's a big deal, the day of the kiln is tomorrow morning, everyone will open the kiln one after another, and then wait until noon......

Then after Xiao Zhang fired the kiln for the second time, he had to go back to Tang Sancai and take out the finished Tang Sancai for glazing!

When the evening was approaching, Xiao Zhang could put Tang Sancai into the kiln for a second firing......

If it is not as accidental, it can be the next day, Xiao Zhang's Ru porcelain kiln at noon, and Tang Sancai kiln at night!

Perfect!

Xiao Zhang's time plan is very reasonable!

It's well arranged!

I just don't know if Xiao Zhang's physical strength can survive in the last two days and one night.

Walking into the scene of Ru porcelain's competition, basically everyone has arrived at this time.

Everyone's secondary firing is basically about to begin.

Some people are preparing to open the kiln, and some people are looking at the integrity of the glaze.

Others look at the effect of shade drying.

But it's all to the last step.

Only Xiao Zhang slowly opened the kiln door...... Slowly take out a few pieces of Ru porcelain clay in the kiln......

Xiao Zhang took a closer look, and the effect of these six pieces of Ru porcelain clay tires was really good.

This Ru porcelain is fired twice, once is low-temperature plain firing, the second is high-temperature glaze firing, the temperature of low-temperature plain firing is about 800 degrees, Xiao Zhang is very well controlled, so now the plain tire is also very good.

This vegetarian roast is very crucial.

Because plain firing plays a key role in the firing process of Ru porcelain.

This point is that after plain firing, the organic matter in the green body is oxidized, the water escapes, and the carbonate and sulfate in it are also decomposed, and the volatilization of these substances can be avoided when the glaze is burned, resulting in defects such as bristles and glaze bubbles on the glaze, and at the same time the deposition of carbon is avoided, which can make the glaze bright and bright.

The second point is that the strength of the green body after plain firing increases, which is conducive to glazing, kiln loading and transfer operations, and can reduce damage.

The third point is that the pores of the green body after plain firing increases, the water absorption force is enhanced, the glaze absorption ability is improved, it is easy to achieve the required glaze thickness when glazing, and can ensure the process quality requirements of glazing, because the glaze layer of Ru porcelain is generally thicker, between 1.5~2 mm, the green body that does not go through plain firing, can not withstand the adsorption of thick glaze, the surface of the mud blank is easy to produce blistering defects after wetting, and it is easy to have problems such as deglazing and lack of glaze after glazing firing.

The last point is that after the plain firing, you can pick the plain tires again, and turn the quality off, because some defects are more obvious after the plain firing, such as hidden cracks, bristles, etc., and remove the unqualified plain tires, which can further improve the quality of the finished product of Ru porcelain glaze.

The above four points are the general phenomenon of porcelain burning, at least for Xiao Zhang, this fourth point is completely useless, because Xiao Zhang's plain tires after firing are very good, without any flaws.

This is also Xiao Zhang's basic skill as an excellent craftsman!

After Xiao Zhang took out these six pieces of plain tires, he began to glaze these six pieces of plain tires.

This first piece is the work that Xiao Zhang pays the most attention to!

It can be said that you can win Cao Jiuge in this Ru porcelain competition!

That's it!

Embossed lotus petal dragon button holding pot!

A very ingenious piece of Ru porcelain!

The inside of this pot is very peculiar by Xiao Zhang......

A secret that belongs to Xiao Zhang, of course, this practice, Xiao Zhang has seen on a metal pot......

On this kind of porcelain pot, Xiao Zhang has never seen it, and this is the first one of his own!

This piece is azure-glazed!

Xiao Zhang began to glaze slowly......

The second work!

This is to win Lou Gensheng's Ru porcelain works!

The embodiment of the artistic conception of this work can be said to have reached the point of exceeding the artistic conception of Lou Gensheng, just waiting for the glaze to be fired and out of the kiln, and the result will naturally be known!

This is also a pair of azure glaze!

This third piece! Dripping Guanyin Statue!

What Xiao Zhang wants is a moon white glaze!

The moon white glaze can be said to be a very beautiful glaze color, the glaze juice is warm and moist like jade, and the whisk is like fat, with a unique style!

This is the work of pure Xiao Zhang's show operation!

Show off the color of your excellent moon white glaze!

After all, his moon white glaze has not yet been released!

Shocking the whole country, not too much!

The fourth work, the Turtle Dragon Paperweight!

Bean green glaze!
