Chapter 622: Is It Expensive?
What's sadder than watching something you love slowly crumble and nothing can be done?
This unspeakable pain is like countless small insects gnawing at Lu Zi'an's heart.
What went wrong and why did the glaze crack?
If it's the temperature, why didn't the crack occur in the first place?
If it is not the temperature reason, then why does such an accident occur after leaving the kiln?
β¦β¦
Many questions swirled back and forth in Lu Zi'an's mind.
Compared with what everyone was worried about him would be sad or something, it was the reason for this result that made him more concerned.
Lu Zi calmed down and stepped forward slowly.
"Actually......" A master looked at the teapot that was still bursting, and said hesitantly: "Jun porcelain has a special variety, which is famous for cracking." β
"Ice cracks?" Lu Zi'an had naturally heard of it, and he looked down carefully: "Well, there is also a feeling of ice cracks, and this texture is quite beautiful." β
The ice cracks of Jun porcelain are generally obvious in the green glaze (including moon white), yellow glaze, and monochrome glaze.
And the teapot in front of me, on the moon-white body, the ice cracks are criss-crossed and intertwined, which is very charming.
Everyone couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope: Could it be that this is really the legendary ice crack?
It's a pity that Lu Zi'an's next sentence ruthlessly pierced all their expectations: "But although this one is a bit similar, it is not an ice crack." β
"How?"
Regarding the opening of Jun porcelain, Lu Zi'an will carefully check the classics before resting these days, and he knows a lot about it.
"Jun porcelain opening, and cracking is a completely different concept. Lu Zi'an stretched out his hand and stroked it gently, and when he touched the originally smooth and flat body of the pot, there would be a slight scratching sensation on the fingertips: "The biggest difference is this crack." β
It looks very similar to the opening piece, but this kind of crack is broken from the inside to the outside, layer by layer.
It's beautiful, but it's stinging to the touch, and if you push hard, you're bound to cut the skin.
"The opening piece of Jun porcelain is different. Lu Zi'an picked up the teapot that was still cracking, and carefully observed the thin, interlaced lines like fibrous roots on it: "It looks similar, but the real Jun porcelain crack looks like a crack, but when it touches, it is smooth." β
The light shone on the body of the pot, and the impermeable hazy feeling instantly captured everyone's hearts.
It would be nice if this was really the opening film!
cracks, so that Jun porcelain "lived".
The real opening piece is the capillaries of porcelain, which is a vivid life.
It keeps stretching, it keeps opening, showing that it is different in every moment, and it is quietly changing with the passage of time.
"Besides, it's the voice. Lu Zi'an held it in his ear and listened carefully to the sound of each crack: "The real opening should be subtle, only in the dead of night, when the heart is clear like water, put Jun porcelain in the ear, you can hear this slight sound, such as the eaves wind chimes, such as the sound of the piano, more like, a flower is blooming." β
Although he was very unwilling, he had to admit that he had lived up to everyone's expectations of him.
It was very easy to carve from wood to jade, and then from lacquer art to cloisonnΓ©, he did not encounter too many setbacks.
The smooth sailing brought him an invincible, delusional feeling.
No one is omnipotent, and it is even more impossible to take shortcuts on the road to craftsmanship.
Hearing him say this, everyone looked at each other and said in a tangled manner: "Then, Master Lu, do you mean that this teapot is useless?"
Ten kilns and nine failures are really not a false name, this Jun porcelain, too difficult!
It's so hard to get to the blue sky, even Master Lu missed!
Unexpectedly, Lu Zi'an looked at the teapot carefully, not only did he not feel sad, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "It's very good." β
Good?
"But then again, this moon is white, it's really rare. β
"Azure Moon White Sai Jade, although ...... But this is the first time I've seen this kind of kiln change with my own eyes. β
The crowd was babbling, trying to brew words of comfort.
There is a person who calmly analyzed the pros and cons: "Although this teapot is cracked, it can be regarded as pointing us a clear way, at least, it shows that this general direction is still right, there are both gradual kiln changes, and ice cracks, if you can eliminate this bad influence, this is simply perfect Jun porcelain!"
Lu Zi'an glanced at him appreciatively and nodded: "Yes, so there is no point in guessing, what we need is practice." β
"What practice?"
Someone raised his hand: "Master Lu is going to continue the experiment? I have memorized your previous complete steps, and I can assist you!"
The others also asked for help, but Lu Zi'an just smiled lightly and shook his head: "First of all, we need to find the reason for its cracking." β
How? Not blindly, of course.
Unlike others who thought that they would continue to make blanks immediately, Lu Zian did not act rashly.
He carefully recorded all the changes in the teapot, and all the data of the kiln were recorded one by one.
He even recorded all the time periods when he fired the kiln before.
He even spread these data on the table for others to see.
It's obviously handwritten, but the lines are really down to the bottom, and the strokes are drawn into a complete circle, without even any pause in between.
He seems to be tireless, only going to sleep every day when he has no ideas, and when he is inspired, he will start working immediately.
In his busy time, things in the outside world have gradually developed.
The biggest news in recent times is that Zou Kai announced his engagement photos.
This news made Shen Mange feel very ...... Terrible.
Caught off guard, there was no movement at all beforehand.
When she contacted Qu Duoduo, she was also quite incredible: "Why do you say that you are engaged to be engaged, and you don't give any buffer time?"
Qu Duoduo was also helpless when he talked about this: "This matter is a long story......
"Then you'll make a long story short. β
ββ¦β¦ Well, okay. Qu Duo said as he slowly turned the ring in his hand, and some of his spirits wandered: "That day ......"
Because after analyzing his inner feelings, Zou Kai "wanted to do bad things to her (Qu's father's original words)", and was later listed as the first person banned from the Qu family.
Zou Kai jumped up and down and did a lot of things.
What intercepted Qu's mother, accompanied her to the supermarket to buy things, and followed Qu Beibei to talk about business, and took care of all the trivial things.
In this way, although he didn't dare to confront Dad Qu head-on, he had already secretly frustrated and coaxed all of Dad Qu's allies to defect.
With the addition of these two allies, Zou Kai acted more conveniently, and always took Qu Doduo out on a date when Qu's father was not at home.
As a result, once, Qu's father met him by chance, and he was so angry that he was scratching his heart: he was charging here, and the nest was taken to someone!
Dad Qu was angry, and his brain turned fast: it is forbidden to go out!
Zou Kai thought about it, this was not a way, he thought about it, and simply took the blame.
first put his sincerity on the line, handed over all kinds of communication tools, and then accompanied Qu's father to drink a Gu, and repeatedly promised that he would be good for Dodo.
finally coaxed Qu's father to retreat: "Then, you can make Doduo agree, and I will ......"
"No problem!" Zou Kai jumped three feet high and said big words on the spot: "I'll propose right away!"
Propose?
Father Qu and Mother Qu secretly exchanged a look: impossible.
Doduo is very opposed to getting married too early, even if he agrees to date Zou Kai now, it is impossible to agree to a marriage proposal or something right away, and the engagement will definitely be a year or two later.
With such thoughts, they let Zou Kai call down the dodo.
Qu Duoduo looked at them, and then at Zou Kai, not understanding what was going on: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, my uncles and aunts like me, they have forgiven me!" Zou Kaile smiled: "By the way, there is something I want to ask you." β
Qu Duo looked at him vigilantly: "What's the matter?"
"Oh, what are you looking at me like this, I won't hurt you. Zou Kaila pulled her little hand and said with a smile: "That's it, a friend of mine, bought a ring, but he doesn't understand the market, he feels that he bought a fake, you are doing this, I want to bring it to you." β
Yo, that's what I said.
Isn't that the reason, she's an expert! There may be problems with other things, but this one is really fine!
Qu Duoduo also became interested: "What kind of? I'll take a look." β
Zou Kai lowered his head and touched it, and took out a jade ring with exquisite craftsmanship.
Look at the color, look at the carving, this is simply a masterpiece!
This is amazing!
"Hey, you say, is this expensive?" Zou Kai asked in a low voice.
Are you kidding!
This ring can't be cheap!
As soon as you touch this jade, you know that it is definitely worth a lot of money, not to mention this carving, oh this carving, how does it feel a bit of Master Lu's style......
Qu Duoduo couldn't put this ring down, and he didn't raise his head: "It must be expensive!"
With a plop, Zou Kai knelt down on one knee: "Thank you Doduo for giving me this opportunity, marry me, I will be good to you for the rest of my life!"
