"I hate it, I won't press it for you. Su Yuli snorted and let go of her hand.

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "Don't, I'm comfortable." ”

"I ignore you, but, Brother Xiao is serious, did you learn all the Ru porcelain techniques from Master Tang?" Su Yuli asked curiously.

Xiao Zhang nodded, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he said, "Yes, they all learned from my teacher, and my teacher taught a lot." ”

"But, haven't you only been in the industry for a few days? Why are you so skilled? I see that your carving skills are about the same as my grandfather's. Su Yuli asked strangely.

"This ...... Maybe it's because I'm a fast learner, some people are born to eat this bowl of rice, as soon as they learn, you will understand, your old man and my master belong to the kind of ordinary people who have studied all their lives, they are 99% sweat plus 1% talent, I am 1% sweat plus 99% talent, it's different. Xiao Zhang said awkwardly.

In fact, these technologies are all in Xiao Zhang's mind, but Xiao Zhang can't say it.

"It's strange to believe you. Su Yuli snorted lightly.

Xiao Zhang took a short break and continued to carve the plain tire in his hand.

There are more than 30 plain tire bottles on the ground, and each pair of Xiao Zhang is ready to be carved into a dragon and phoenix pattern.

In this way, a dragon and a phoenix were carved.

By nearly six o'clock in the evening, only a dozen of them had been carved.

Xiao Zhang let out a sigh of relief, stood up and said to Su Yuli: "Sister Yuli, let's go home, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

Su Yuli nodded, stayed here for an afternoon, and watched Xiao Zhangxiu come with a knife worker.

Xiao Zhang looked at the remaining plain tire bottles on the ground, and estimated that tomorrow's wholehearted carving will almost be completed in one day, and the kiln mouth will be booked at night, and the plain will be fired, and the day after tomorrow will go directly out of the kiln, and he will adjust the glaze, and he will be able to open the kiln on the third day.

Just in time for the teacher to come back and get out of the kiln, maybe there will be a little surprise.

Xiao Zhang nodded with satisfaction and left here with Su Yuli.

......

One day later......

Xiao Zhang came to the studio early.

After yesterday's continuous carving, more than 30 plain tire bottles finally completed the carving pattern, at the beginning Xiao Zhang carved the dragon and phoenix pattern is still the same shape, and then began to change.

The dragon and phoenix patterns of each pair of bottles are all in different shapes.

Placed together, it is not a spectacular picture.

After last night's night of vegetarian roasting, Xiao Zhang just took out the vegetarian tire bottle that had just come out of the kiln this morning.

This is a plain tire bottle made of high-quality raw materials.

This color is absolutely amazing.

Pure white gray, both the texture and the feel are first-class.

And the pattern engraved by Xiao Zhang is also very natural.

After firing, the effect is even more satisfying to Xiao Zhang.

Returning to the workshop with a large cart of bottles, Xiao Zhang began to prepare the glaze.

This time, with the high-quality raw materials prepared by the system, Xiao Zhang was more cautious.

With the weigher in hand, according to the proportions in his mind, Xiao Zhang began to add the required glaze raw materials in turn.

Although he has operated it once before, Xiao Zhang is still very careful, the proportion of this glaze, and the selection of raw materials can be said to be the top priority for his successful firing.

Grinding frit, agate glaze......

After a series of processes, Xiao Zhang finally configured the glaze that he thought was more flawless than the last time.

Xiao Zhang took the glaze of the large basin and began to glaze more than 30 plain tire bottles.

Then refine, shade dry......

Again, a series of routine operations.

Sagger ......

After the series was all over, night had fallen.

Today's Su Yuli didn't come here because of something at home, so Xiao Zhang was a little lonely, but because he was busy all the time, he was very fulfilling.

The reserved kiln mouth was already available under Director Hu's reminder, and Xiao Zhang pushed the bottle that had been dried to the firing compound.

This time, Director Hu prepared one of several big kilns for Xiao Zhang.

Because the number of bottles fired by Xiao Zhang this time is indeed quite large, and it was applied in advance, Xiao Zhang finally used the big kiln mouth this time.

Of course, it's not the one that Liu Chengfeng fried the kiln last time.

Xiao Zhang came to the kiln with a nervous mood and sent the plain tire bottle into the kiln.

With the completion of a series of operations such as ignition and door closing, Xiao Zhang was completely relieved.

It's finally done again.

I have really exhausted myself for the past three days.

Whether the sky blue glaze can be successfully fired depends on this time.

Two keys to success, one is the kiln position, and the other is the heat.

Xiao Zhangcai deliberately made more than 30 pieces of Ru porcelain, using a large kiln mouth, almost evenly spread the entire kiln, striving for sky blue glaze in every position.

The second is the control of the heat.

Normally, it needs to be fired by high-temperature redox fire, and the temperature is controlled between 1,000 degrees and 1,400 degrees.

This one is the hardest to manage.

Xiao Zhang knew that he couldn't always use the same temperature to fire, and he needed to constantly adjust himself, so I was afraid that this night would not stop.

Xiao Zhang looked at the second kiln Ru porcelain in his life, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

He finally went from being an apprentice tinkerer to a true porcelain craftsman.

With the successful experience and the second firing of the familiar road, this feeling is very different.

And it is still the real heirloom of Ru porcelain.

A real treasure with historical, humanistic, aesthetic and technological value.

This is also the meaning of his teacher Tang Qingchuan often talking about the inheritance.

That is the so-called historical value of Ru porcelain.

In history, the fine products fired by Ru porcelain are royal supplies, containing the cultural and artistic spirit of the Tang and Song dynasties, crystallizing the scientific and technological level and ability of the Tang and Song dynasties, ranking among the five famous kilns of Ru, Guan, Jun, Ge and Ding, and have a significant position in the history of Chinese porcelain.

Ru porcelain flourished in the Song Dynasty, was influenced by the aesthetic culture of the time, the creation of the craftsman to pursue the heavenly made, tired of human wishes, the pursuit of natural and fresh concept, natural and simple shape and elegant green glaze, in line with the unity of heaven and man, the aesthetics of natural taste, embodies the dignified and condensed form and spirit, natural and harmonious cultural spirit.

Of course, the reason why Ru porcelain is precious, in addition to the short firing time of Ru kiln in history, few hand-me-down works, more importantly, the technical difficulty, in the firing process, not only to have a great relationship with the local climate, temperature, humidity, wind, water quality, fuel, and how to grasp the viscosity and fluidity of glaze firing melting temperature and the scientific principle of iron reduction and the crystallization process of thermal insulation and slow cooling, all directly affect the formation of Ru porcelain celadon milk beads and the color of the glaze, this firing technique makes Ru porcelain famous for thousands of years, with very high scientific research value。

This is what needs to be passed down and studied.

Xiao Zhang thought about it, tilted his head to look at the fire in the kiln, and began to heat up slowly......
