Chapter 271: Finding a Glimmer of Hope in a Desperate Situation
Tang Xinghe is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, with some long soft black hair tied up behind his head, and the sparse stubble on his face makes this uncle a little vicissitudes!
This Tang Xinghe walked to Xiao Zhang's side, then nodded at Xiao Zhang, and then sat quietly and casually on the chair in front of the kiln.
Very relaxed one.
Comfortable......
The overall state is very comfortable.
Xiao Zhang looked at Tang Xinghe with some amusement.
No wonder this guy was able to make such an excellent 10,000-year-old pot!
Being able to fire Tang Sancai's glaze is so fresh and refined, which is unforgettable, this person looks like a story.
Xiao Zhang also nodded slightly, which was considered a return gift.
Xiao Zhang didn't expect that at the scene of the competition for firing Ru porcelain, the most powerful opponent was Cao Jiuge, who was in front of him, and the kiln mouth was on his left.
And at the scene of the competition of firing Tang Sancai, the most powerful opponent is Tang Xinghe, who is behind him, and the kiln mouth of the firing is on his right.
The co-authors are all next to each other.
As the host introduced all the contestants one by one, there were also thirty finalists.
The host began to continue: "The thirty craftsmen who participated in the finals will prepare three Tang Sancai works for firing at the same time from now on, for three days! Three works for each person, and when the kiln is finally opened, there will be a total of 190 Tang Sancai works, and we will select the gold medal winners, silver medal winners and bronze medal winners of this Tang Sancai competition from these 90 Tang Sancai works!"
Xiao Zhang nodded, the process of this Tang Sancai Contest is the same as that of Ru porcelain.
Except for the number of pieces to be fired by each person, which is three, everything else is the same.
Xiao Zhang also put his mind at ease.
In that case, let's see the real chapter under your hands!
Xiao Zhang has actually been thinking about a question, that is, how should he win this Tang Sancai game......
After all, his Tang Sancai's firing technique is not a grandmaster-level technique, but a master-level technique, and there is still a certain gap from the top......
But Xiao Zhang can't say that there is a grandmaster-level ...... in this
At least judging from the works that participated in the preliminary round.
What can be looked at by Xiao Zhang is nothing more than a 10,000-year-old pot.
In addition to the Wannian pot, Xiao Zhang felt that what could be between his works and his works was nothing more than the phoenix head pot introduced to him by the ruddy old man, the peacock pot and the first Tang Sancai Town tomb beast that Xiao Zhang had seen......
These three Tang Sancai burners may be some of the best of the best......
There is only one real opponent.
That is Tang Xinghe, how to surpass Tang Xinghe is the key to the problem.
Xiao Zhang knows his strengths and weaknesses.
The first advantage of his own is the master-level Tang Sancai firing skills, which are reflected in the very average Tang Sancai craftsmanship.
Whether it is the production of molds, or the production of mud tires, or the configuration of glaze color, or the control of kiln heat......
These are very average......
The only thing that stands out is Xiao Zhang's unique feature, that is, the glaze color after Xiao Zhang's fired porcelain!
Whether it is Ru porcelain or Tang Sancai, this glaze color is very unusual.
In particular, this Tang Sancai glaze presents a fantastic color in Xiao Zhang's hands.
In the glaze of Tang Sancai itself, there is an allusion to the praise of being able to fire the blue glaze.
But whenever there is a blue glaze of Tang Sancai, this is very valuable.
Moreover, there are few modern Tang Sancai craftsmen who can master the blue Tang Sancai firing technology......
After all, this technology, which is known for its rarity, is famous all over the world because it is difficult to fire.
That's why Xiao Zhang chose to burn blue glazed horses, camels and noble lady figurines.
But what no one expected was that the blue glaze fired by Xiao Zhang had undergone earth-shaking changes!
There has been a very unusual change.
It turned into a fantastic blue-purple ......
This color has never been seen in all the glazes of Tang Sancai unearthed so far, at least!
Moreover, the modern Tang Sancai craftsmen have not been successfully fired.
Therefore, at the scene of this exhibition hall, when professionals saw Xiao Zhang's three blue-purple glazed Tang Sancai, they were shocked.
But even so, Xiao Zhang is only a little good enough in glaze, but it has not reached the peak state in other aspects.
Xiao Zhang didn't know what level this Tang Xinghe's Tang Sancai firing level was! Is it a master, or has it reached the grandmaster level?
It's also a master!
But there is also a difference between a master and a master.
It's like Hua Xiangxiang is also a master...... is also firing Ru porcelain, whether it is Su Darong, Su Daqiang, or Bai Chongshan, it may be a little better than Hua Xiangxiang......
As for Tang Qingchuan, it was all at the level of a half-step grandmaster, and Hua Xiangxiang couldn't compare to it.
Therefore, Xiao Zhang's Tang Sancai must have a little gap with Tang Xinghe in other aspects except for the glaze.
This is something that Xiao Zhang himself can feel.
So can you win with this glaze alone and defeat Tang Xinghe?
Xiao Zhang couldn't be sure, and he didn't dare to bet.
After all, the final victory or defeat of this Tang Sancai competition determines the direction of Xiao Zhang's future road.
If Xiao Zhang wins, it's okay, everyone is happy.
If Xiao Zhang loses...... That's the end of it, all the efforts are in vain......
Everything in Xiao Zhang will be lost......
Therefore, Xiao Zhang didn't dare to gamble, and desperately used his existing Tang Sancai firing level to fight against the strongest opponent Tang Xinghe's Tang Sancai works, Xiao Zhang was not completely sure.
If it was the burner of the tomb beast, or the burner of the phoenix head pot, Xiao Zhang would definitely be fearless.
But what I didn't expect was that this Tang Xinghe that appeared became the most powerful obstacle on the way forward for Xiao Zhang and Tang Sancai.
Xiao Zhang is also thinking about how to find the winning point of this competition!
Under normal circumstances, the system will definitely not give itself such a 100% unsolvable mortal problem.
This means that in this Tang Sancai game, he must still have a chance.
But where is the only chance! Xiao Zhang didn't quite understand.
With the presenter's introduction, it is over.
This time Tang Sancai's competition is about to officially begin.
Xiao Zhang rubbed his hands......
What's next?
Is it the best state of Tang Sancai who directly burned himself like this? Give it a try?
Or find the only hope in a desperate situation?
Xiao Zhang turned his head and looked at Tang Xinghe.
Tang Xinghe was unhurried......
Tang Xinghe slowly picked up the bag of raw materials placed beside him and opened it......
Xiao Zhang took a look......
Something strange.
All this Tang Xinghe brought was the raw material of mud and glaze.
I didn't bring any plaster powder......
This guy doesn't need molds!
That's right...... Also, this guy's preliminary work is a 10,000-year-old pot!
There is no need for plaster molds......
Wait a minute......
Xiao Zhang seemed to have thought of something!
