Chapter 222: Mountain People Have a Clever Plan! (Ask for Subscription)
Thinking of Xiao Zhang, he shook his head and said: "Then don't use it, this mold and raw materials can't be taken away, just leave it alone, maybe it will be useful for a while!"
After Xiao Zhang's words were finished, He Xiyu suddenly said angrily: "What's the matter, Xiao Zhang, do you still want to move all our teacher's workshops?
Xiao Zhang smiled and didn't continue to speak.
The two of them walked for a while, walked through two corridors, and then came to Liu Chengfeng's kiln......
This Liu Chengfeng's yard is very large, but I didn't expect the kiln mouth to be bigger......
I really didn't see that this Liu Chengfeng was really a rich man......
In this courtyard, Xiao Zhang counted a total of eight kilns of almost all sizes......
According to such a scale of firing, Liu Chengfeng makes millions or even tens of millions of dollars from firing Tang Sancai every year.
After all, this Tang Sancai as a modern imitation of the work, belongs to the modern handicrafts, the restoration of the ancient cultural and artistic value, in modern times many people will put some Tang Sancai ornaments in the study or home on the bookshelf as a display.
Therefore, the modern Tang Sancai still has great commercial value, but it is relatively less than Ru porcelain, but the market is less......
On the contrary, some foreigners like to collect these Tang Sancai's works.
In the history of China for thousands of years, there are so many kinds of porcelain that are the favorite of foreigners.
Even if they know that it is a modern imitation or a modern handicraft, foreigners will rush to buy it......
It is because of the ideas handed down by the ancestors of these foreigners.
And this Tang Sancai and blue and white porcelain belong to a kind of porcelain that foreigners like very much.
There are many foreigners who pay high prices for these porcelain.
Even if you know it's not ancient, you'll buy it......
Because at that time in ancient times, both the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty had a very high level of economic and trade with foreign countries......
It was also at those times that the export of porcelain was achieved to the extreme......
At that time, foreigners were full of praise for these exquisite porcelain made in China, and were even willing to pay a lot of money to buy them......
Real money in exchange for these porcelains from China......
Therefore, many precious blue and white porcelain in China, Tang Sancai and even some better porcelain cultural relics in the Ming and Qing dynasties are all treasured abroad......
So some foreigners are very interested in these porcelain......
Whether it's a fake to buy for real, or just to buy a fake...... Or do you know it's modern and buy it......
Foreigners who go to buy it are very happy......
Xiao Zhang saw that there were so many kilns in Liu Chengfeng's yard, and basically every kiln was burning......
Only one small kiln in the most remote corner is empty......
Xiao Zhang suddenly thought about it.
"Miss Xiyu, why hasn't that little kiln started?" Xiao Zhang asked.
"That's a firewood kiln! It's a lot of waste, and it can't burn a few pieces of Tang Sancai porcelain at a time, it's basically for new apprentices to practice!" He Xiyu looked at it and said.
Xiao Zhang nodded and understood.
Although this Liu Chengfeng is the royal master in the Forbidden City...... On weekdays, Tang Sancai will also be burned for the country......
Basically, the Forbidden City has a special theme for firing, Liu Chengfeng will use the official kiln of the Forbidden City to fire, and when the national leader wants to give the national gift to the heads of other countries, if the Tang Sancai is used...... Then Liu Chengfeng will receive the task......
This is a person who eats official rice and holds an iron rice bowl......
Of course, when he is not busy, Liu Chengfeng also has his own kiln workshop, and he can fire Tang Sancai at will......
This can be said to be a combination of fame and fortune......
No wonder the body is so fat......
Xiao Zhang nodded, and then said, "Miss Xiyu, I want to ask you for a favor!"
"Hmm, Xiao Zhang, you're really going to take a fancy to our kiln, right? You can't let this thing take it away! You can't take this kiln away!" He Xiyu knew as soon as he heard Xiao Zhang's mouth that it was going to be fine.
"No, no, no...... What kind of kiln am I holding you! I see that your small kiln for apprentices is empty, so I want to borrow it! But I don't know if it's convenient or not?" Xiao Zhang said very tactfully.
"It's convenient, but what are you going to do?" He Xiyu said he didn't understand.
"Of course, it's to open the kiln to fire Tang Sancai!" Xiao Zhang put all the raw materials he brought on the ground at once, and then said with a smile: "Please Miss Xiyu find someone to help me bring all the molds I made just now, if I have time, I can fire works that can participate in the preliminary competition before the competition starts!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
"My God, Xiao Zhang, you're crazy! It's definitely too late in this world! You know that it takes at least five days for us to open a kiln on weekdays, from the beginning of the mold mud tire to the completion of the second firing, and now you have two days left! How can you do it?" He Xiyu suddenly asked suspiciously.
Xiao Zhang waved his hand and said, "Then you can rest assured, the mountain people have their own tricks!"
He Xiyu shook his head suddenly, this Xiao Zhang definitely has a brain problem......
Otherwise, how could he do such an unashamed thing?
Let's talk to the teacher about this.
When He Xiyu left, Xiao Zhang opened the bag of raw materials on the side, and then began to configure the mud according to the process skills of firing Tang Sancai in his mind......
This Tang Sancai mud is very important.
As mentioned before, the mud must be moderately soft and hard.
If it's too soft...... It is impossible to print the inside of the mold...... Affect the overall effect of Tang Sancai mud tires.
If it's too hard...... When firing, it will crack directly......
So the feel of the mud must be in place......
Of course, there is also a method of mud injection......
The mud does not need to be moderately soft and hard, and it is directly made like cement...... Pour into molds and allow to dry naturally......
But such a mud tire is solid...... It will definitely crack when fired......
Therefore, the large porcelain of Tang Sancai is generally hollow......
Just cover the inside of the mold with a layer of mud of moderate thickness...... Then combine the two molds into one......
Xiao Zhang also got started very quickly.
It's almost like a trick that comes out of my mind......
Add the appropriate water to stir......
......
When Xiao Zhang's mud was almost finished, Liu Chengfeng hurriedly ran over with He Xiyu.
"I said Xiao Zhang, do you want to burn Tang Sancai?" Liu Chengfeng, who was far away, shouted.
"Yes, Master Liu, I just like hobbies, I want to try it, I won't rob you of your job!" Xiao Zhang said, holding up the perfect mud in his hand.
At this time, the mud had been kneaded by Xiao Zhang perfectly, and there was not even a trace of bubbles and gaps......
