The investigation of the liar was dealt with by the army, and Meng Zitao went to the porcelain capital with peace of mind.

Walking out of the airport, Meng Zitao saw Xiao Likai who came to pick him up.

After getting into the car, Meng Zitao looked at Xiao Likai with a somewhat excited expression and said, "The test was successful?"

Xiao Likai nodded heavily: "I came out of the kiln yesterday, and the finished product is very good, and it has completely achieved my research goal!"

Meng Zitao was quite pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Master Xiao, it's hard work." ”

Xiao Likai laughed: "What's so hard about this, this is my hobby, and from the beginning of research to the present, it has cost a lot, if it weren't for your willingness to invest, I wouldn't dare to imagine it myself." Although my technical level is not bad, it is in vain if I don't have money. ”

Xiao Likai said this, is not just polite, now want to use a firewood kiln to burn porcelain is not easy, one is a kiln down, burn nearly 2000 pounds of pine firewood, the cost is quite high; the second is to burn a kiln to have a set of experienced team collective cooperation, especially the pile master, no decades of successful experience is not good, by no means just make do with a few people, if there is no special financial guarantee and purpose, no one dares to easily start a fire.

The most important thing is that the government explicitly banned the burning of firewood kilns, and there was no supply of pine firewood.

Xiao Likai also has a reputation for self-knowledge, although his skills in porcelain burning are superb, but people like him, Meng Zitao is not impossible to find, and, the previous things, let him know his shortcomings, if no one protects him, in the future he will develop new technology, it is likely that personal safety will not be guaranteed.

Therefore, he put his posture very low, and the credit is secondary, he just needs to enjoy the fun of research, and Meng Zitao gave a lot of money, what is there to worry about.

It is precisely because of Xiao Likai's attitude that Meng Zitao will rest assured of him.

Two people went straight to the kiln factory, although there is Meng Zitao out of the horse, but the firewood kiln because of the pollution caused by burning, it is inconvenient to build in a place close to the dense residential area, the current kiln factory is close to the mountainous area, and it is also convenient to take materials.

After entering the kiln factory, Meng Zitao and Xiao Likai greeted everyone, and then went to the storage room under the leadership of Xiao Likai.

"You see, these are all from this kiln. Xiao Likai pointed to a few tea cups on the shelves.

Meng Zitao looked over and found that none of these tea cups had the same glaze color.

This is actually a normal phenomenon, "out of the kiln ten thousand colors", is the biggest charm of firewood burning, but also the embodiment of its firing difficulty. Any wood-fired cup is "unparalleled" and "unpaired". In the same kiln, the glaze color change is extremely exaggerated, even if it is a pot in the same sagger, its glaze color may be very different.

Jianzhan has a rich glaze color variation, making the glaze varieties of Jianzhan almost difficult to classify, resulting in a wide variety of glaze names, even ancient ceramics experts, scholars are difficult to start, they have their own different glaze classification and title. Therefore, even the existing professional books on Jianzhan do not systematically discuss the glaze varieties and classifications of Jianzhan.

Soon, Meng Zitao was attracted by one of the teacups, he walked quickly to the teacup, carefully took it in his hand and admired it, but after a while, he became addicted to it.

The reason why it has this name is because of its unique glaze texture, just like the tea cup in Meng Zitao's hand, the texture produced by the natural kiln change is like letting people see the brilliant starry sky by the sea in the middle of the night, and the starry sky is deep in mysteries, like the unknowable vast universe.

The Yaobian Tianmu teacup in his hand made Meng Zitao deeply admire Xiao Likai.

Do you want to say that modern porcelain experts don't want to make Yaobian Tianmu tea cups? Obviously, no, many people have been diligent, but they have never been able to make exquisite Yaobian Tianmu tea cups.

This is because during the Southern Song Dynasty, the craft of "Yao Change" was a secret, and ordinary people could not get in touch with this kind of clever craftsmanship at all. With the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, this kind of craft was lost, which cannot but be said to be a pity.

Moreover, because of the characteristics of the kiln porcelain, Yaobian is also difficult to make, otherwise there will be only a handful of Yaobian Tianmu tea cups in this world. So much so that some people say that even if this kind of craftsmanship is reproduced, it is difficult to make the same Yaochang Tianmu tea bowl, unless it is lucky.

However, Xiao Likai reproduced this technique and made a rather outstanding Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl, although on this Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl, Meng Zitao could still see a slight flaw, but compared with Dongying's ones, there was not much difference. If it appears on the market, it will definitely cause quite a stir.

Meng Zitao's gaze moved away from the teacup, he first praised it, and then asked, "What is the success rate of this kind of Yao Changing Heavenly Purpose?"

"I may not have made it clear before, this kind of quality is still hard to find, technology only accounts for a small part, and most of it depends on luck. ”

Xiao Likai explained: "The glaze of Jianzhan is a kiln glaze, and in the wood-fired kiln, the temperature, atmosphere, heating rate, and holding time of different kilns are different, which leads to the same glaze water in the same firewood kiln, which will produce a 'colorful' glaze. I have now used the newly invented technology, and I can guarantee that there will be at least one Yao Chang Tianmu in the five kilns, but whether or not there is such a quality can only be determined by luck. But don't worry, I'll keep up the good work and strive for a higher success rate. ”

Meng Zitao understood this, if it was so easy to fire, the imitations would have already been flying all over the sky, and he said with a smile: "Don't rush, take your time." ”

"You can't slow down, you can't just put in and have no output. Xiao Likai's tone was a little anxious.

Meng Zitao knew Xiao Likai's character and knew that if he didn't solve this problem, he couldn't study it with peace of mind, so he said: "This problem is easy to solve, and now the team should be sure to imitate some Ming and Qing dynasty official kiln porcelain, right?"

Xiao Likai is very confident: "After this period of running-in, the imitation boutique has been assured." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Then first imitate some fine official kiln porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties, start to build our brand, and slowly become famous." However, your focus is still on research, and I will send you management talent again. ”

Xiao Likai said there was no problem.

"Master Xiao, I have something I want to ask for your opinion, I hope you will consider it carefully. Meng Zitao talked about the reduction formula.

Xiao Likai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Do you still need to think about this? I promise!"

Meng Zitao said: "Master Xiao, I think you should think about this matter more. ”
