Chapter 48: Re-glazing

"How old are you, and still playing such a childish game, do you think I will promise you? Then I'm too brainless, right?" Wang Erlong snorted lightly.

This was beyond Xiao Zhang's expectations, and he thought that Wang Erlong would definitely agree.

I didn't expect that there was still a difference between this Wang Erlong and the mentally retarded villain in my imagination.

"Okay, I'll admit that I'm making this bet with you with the attitude of giving it a try, since you don't agree, forget it......" Xiao Zhang sighed.

"If it's okay, it's an hour later that we'll be firing together in this second time, as I said before, as long as one of your teacups and bowls can compare to me, then even if you win, and at the same time, your Tang Sancai little lion will also belong to me, if you don't understand anything in the future, you can come and ask me, as the old saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the master is the teacher." Wang Erlong suddenly had a horizontal sentence in his mouth, and he suddenly felt that he was very good.

Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I won't bother Long Shao to burn the vegetarian tire, we'll see you in ten hours." After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, he saluted Master Hua, and then said goodbye to Director Hu and left with a few of his own plain tires.

Looking at the back of Xiao Zhang's departure, Wang Erlong turned to look at Master Hua and said, "Teacher, how could this Xiao Zhang take the initiative to come over, do you think there will be fraud?"

Master Hua also looked at Xiao Zhang's back as he drifted away, nodded and said: "This kid is not like a stupid person, if he is not sure, he will not compete with you, of course, there is a possibility, that is, arrogant people are proud of their talents, and it is not impossible for them to think that they are powerful, Tang Qingchuan said that his disciples are very talented, but I don't believe that a person who has only been apprenticed to the master for a few days can achieve much in Ru porcelain." ”

Speaking of this, Master Hua smiled slightly and continued: "The craft of a craftsman is not opportunistic to go far, how can you fire a rare good porcelain in the world without going through a lot of hard work?"

"What the teacher said is that the disciple should remember. Wang Erlong humbly bowed to Master Hua.

At this time, Wang Erlong is no longer the cynical arrogance he had before.

Everyone has two sides to the world, some people show their best side on the outside, but they are very domineering behind the scenes.

And some people show their worst side on the outside, and they are likely to be forbearant and humble behind the scenes.

In Master Hua's opinion, Xiao Zhang's performance just now is likely to be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

And Wang Erlong is not waiting for an opportunity?

"Erlong, there is still a month before the National Ceramics Joint Exhibition, don't let the teacher down. ”

"The teacher can rest assured, the disciple knows it. Wang Erlong nodded.

Ordered his followers to close the entrance to the kiln, and Master Hua and Wang Erlong also left here.

Director Hu, who was on the side, sighed, looked at the courtyard that was empty in an instant, and secretly said that the fish and dragons in this palace are mixed, and the water is deep and the dragon is spiritual.

said that Xiao Zhang returned to Tang Qingchuan's office area.

I found the glaze that I had prepared the day before.

Xiao Zhang frowned, a little hesitant.

This glaze can only be said to be basically qualified.

If you want to beat Wang Erlong, I'm afraid there is still a gap.

After all, this Wang Erlong is a good player, which can be seen from the plain tires on his shelf car.

There are also some double-eared pan bottles, double-eared bottles, and double-eared bottles.

These types are still very difficult to control.

Xiao Zhang wants to use the tea cup in his hand and the Ru porcelain fired from the azure glazed bowl to win Wang Erlong, so there must still be some gaps.

Even if you fire your best, you won't be able to win.

Xiao Zhang began to open his brain and think.

How exactly can you win.

In Xiao Zhang's cognition, although Wang Erlong is a bastard brother on the surface, he is uninhibited and arrogant.

But Xiao Zhang was completely unconvinced.

How can an arrogant and domineering person stabilize his mind and become an excellent craftsman.

Don't forget, Xiao Zhang has a basic level of Ru porcelain identification skills.

It can be distinguished from the plain tires on Wang Erlong's shelf car, these plain tires are definitely not ordinary items, otherwise how could a master known as Master Hua, the honorary vice president, accept such a closed disciple?

Xiao Zhang looked at the plain tires placed in front of him, and suddenly looked at the bowl on the far left.

This is Xiao Zhang's imitation according to the azure glazed bowl treasured in the Palace Museum in his mind, and even the Qianlong under the bowl has a poem by Emperor Qianlong.

Xiao Zhang can be said to have completely one-to-one imitation of this azure glazed bowl.

In addition to the size ratio and tire shape, even the position of each word in the inscription poem at the bottom of this bowl is the same.

Xiao Zhang was thinking about it at this moment.

This azure glazed bowl can be said to be a rarity.

Its shape is regular, the tire quality is delicate, and the glaze color is like the blue sky reflected by the lake.

And there are only two Ru kiln bowls in the Song Dynasty that have been seen, and there is only one in China.

If this azure glazed bowl can be imitated to the extreme, Wang Erlong must not be able to reach it.

But Xiao Zhang can give it a try.

The most critical issue is probably the glaze.

It is definitely not possible to use the previous glaze.

Xiao Zhang had to re-tune the glaze to be more accurate and detailed.

In this way, this azure glazed bowl can be perfectly reproduced.

A true rarity.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang put aside the glaze that had been mixed in front of him, and took the big bowl again to mix the raw materials.

In Xiao Zhang's mind, these most basic technical knowledge are very accurate.

Although it is only an entry-level Ru porcelain firing technique.

But it is a skill that has been systematically precipitated for hundreds of years.

In terms of this skill, the entry-level in Xiao Zhang's mind is not lost to anyone.

Xiao Zhang was engrossed at this time, and kept perfecting the small scale weighing the materials and meticulously blended them.

Each time he weighed a material, Xiao Zhang would pour it into that clean container that had been prepared in advance.

Then go ahead and prepare for the next one.

The material of this glaze is very crucial.

In many cases, adding one more or one less will lead to different colors of the glaze, and even the finished Ru porcelain products will be very different.

Sometimes the expectation is correct, but the amount is different, which will also lead to different results.

So Xiao Zhang is very focused, since he decided to mix the best glaze to achieve the best glaze.

So every step is critical at this time.

It took almost half an hour for Xiao Zhang to weigh all the raw materials needed.

Then use the grinding rod to start grinding slowly.

Grind finely.

This step is still crucial.

There can be no room for error.

Xiao Zhang didn't even bother to wipe his sweat on the table.

I watched as the frits of these raw ores were ground into fine powder little by little.

Xiao Zhang's heart gradually became more nervous.
