Chapter 126: The Thinnest Bowl (1/5)
Xiao Zhang took a deep breath and sat directly on the seat in front of the wheel.
This is the first time since Xiao Zhang entered the industry to make Ru porcelain with so many people.
There are hundreds of processes in Ru porcelain, and this is just one of them.
Blank drawing.
And in this blank workshop, Xiao Zhang seemed to have become an ordinary person among these dozens of craftsmen, Xiao Zhang nodded, and no longer thought about any distractions in his heart.
I didn't think about any technical knowledge about Ru porcelain in my mind, I just looked at the wheel car in front of me.
"This thing, young man, is very simple, do you see the mud next to it? The master stood aside and looked at Xiao Zhang with a smile.
Xiao Zhang didn't say anything, and reached out to pick up the mud.
"I got some water on my hands, turned the wheel, and it all started naturally. Master said.
Xiao Zhang's familiar turning wheel, the mud on it also turned.
The mud of the Su family in Ruzhou is very soft, and as soon as Xiao Zhang gets started, he can feel the suitability of this mud.
It changes shape with the force of the hand.
Xiao Zhang exerted a slight force, and the mud immediately deformed.
Soon, the shape of a large bowl appeared in Xiao Zhang's hands.
Xiao Zhang seemed to be one with his surroundings at this time, and everything seemed so natural and harmonious.
The surrounding masters were busy with their own work with their heads down, and Xiao Zhang was the same.
It is not the disciple of the Tang master who seems to be beyond everyone, a rookie of Ru porcelain in Beijing, but an ordinary apprentice of Ruzhou Sujia Ru porcelain craftsman.
"This young man has a very good feel, this feels very good!" the master praised on the side.
Su Yuli grinned and echoed: "Yes, master, you taught ...... well."
"Little girl, do you want to try it too, this thing is fun......" Master Fu Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to another piece of mud and said to Su Yuli.
Su Yuli hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.
I was chased by the teacher every day in the capital to fiddle with these things, and I finally came out, but I didn't want to get started.
However, Su Yuli was very curious about Xiao Zhang's performance.
What is this Xiao Zhang doing?
Is it new here?
If the master on the side knew that the Ru porcelain fired by this kid could be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the capital...... And then play here...... The master doesn't know if he will die of embarrassment.
Xiao Zhang was on the side, but he pretended to be happy.
The bowl in his hand kept changing shapes, Xiao Zhang lowered his head, his eyes carefully staring at the outline of the bottom of the bowl.
The strength of his hand began to change slightly.
And as the rotation of the eccentricity accelerates, the shape of the bowl becomes more and more perfect......
The master kept praising on the side.
"What kind of attainment does the young man have...... This bowl is very good, the basic shape is already there, not bad, not bad, if you study with me for two years, you can become a teacher......" The master grinned.
Xiao Zhang smiled slightly and didn't speak, but turned his hand up and down, one hand slightly exerted force inside the bowl, and the other hand slightly exerted force outside the bowl, constantly expanding the size of the bowl.
Su Yuli really couldn't cry or laugh......
Su Yuli secretly said in her heart: "Brother Xiao, you can play for a while, this master is going to accept you as an apprentice, if you don't finish playing, I will go back and tell Grandpa Tang......"
Xiao Zhang continued to look intently at the bowl on the wheel.
It stands to reason that by this time, the car could have stopped.
Because at this time, the bowl on the wheel car has basically conformed to the shape of a green bowl, whether it is the basic tire shape or the overall size or the thickness of the bowl is very in place.
But Xiao Zhang was still frantically turning the wheel, and his two hands continued to rub hard against the bowl......
The smile on the master's face gradually solidified......
It seems that something is wrong.
The master secretly said What is this kid doing?
That's not right......
If at this time, this master can't see that this Xiao Zhang is not a novice, then don't be a master......
This kid has clearly learned......
I'm here to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf......
I thought it was a newcomer, and I pointed it out......
Look at this kid's focused eyes at this time, this sharp technique......
This is with the tacit understanding of the left and right hands, and this feels in place......
Looking at the mature appearance of this bowl, it has been a sophisticated overall operation......
This is clearly a veteran......
This is still a veteran whose skills are no less than his own......
The master patted his brain......
Look away......
I was deceived by this kid......
"This lad...... It's okay, it's amazing......" The master had to say embarrassedly, and after saying that it was very powerful, he really didn't know what to say......
Looking at the embarrassed master, Su Yuli also smiled apologetically......
Xiao Zhang didn't say anything and continued to put pressure on his opponent's bowl.
At this time, the bowl on the wheel car was more than twice as large as the normal size of the azure glazed bowl, and the thickness of the bowl wall was nearly twice as thin......
What does this mean?
If the diameter of the normal azure glazed bowl is 19 cm, the diameter of the current bowl of Xiao Zhang's blank is almost 24 cm.
The thickness of the normal size bowl wall is less than two millimeters, and the thickness of the large bowl in Xiao Zhang's hand is at most more than one millimeter......
You know, the bigger the bowl, the more difficult it is to control, because the greater the centrifugal rate and the thinner the bowl wall, it is easy to throw this soft mud away......
In ancient times, almost no one fired such a large bowl because the success rate was too low......
And even if it is fired, it is not very useful, and the ornamental value is not very large......
Therefore, there are very few extra-large bowls in the world.
In order to show their craftsmanship, modern craftsmen will go to firing, but the success rate is also very low......
Nine times out of ten, the bowl will be thrown off in the blank......
Even after molding, the failure rate has increased dramatically, and almost nine out of ten pieces in a kiln are not fired......
Even if you are lucky enough to fire a piece, the walls of the bowl are very thick......
This kind of very thin and large bowl does not exist at all......
Especially handmade......
Therefore, both Su Yuli and the master on the side began to widen their eyes at Xiao Zhang next to the car at this time.
What the hell is this guy going to do?
Why not stop now?
At this time, they have already shown their extraordinary blank drawing technology?
And the current bowl type can be said to be the extreme?
Why do you want to continue?
"Boy, I think it's okay...... It's a pity if you go down......" The master couldn't help but stop him.
Although he looked away, the super thin bowl in Xiao Zhang's hand is now ...... It's really the limit......
The master had to say that he couldn't do it himself......
This extreme meticulous feel, I don't have ......
However, look at Xiao Zhang......
The car is still turning!
Xiao Zhang's hands continued to apply pressure to the wall of the bowl that was almost 1 mm thin!
Where are the limits?
