Chapter 159: Linglong Appears
"The money in the east, the temperature in the middle drum position is not enough, add more firewood!"
Lao Feng was engrossed in observing the changes in the kiln through the steaming window, Su Yuan stood seven or eight meters away, and he could feel the oncoming heat wave, which could be imagined the old man's hard work.
After more than an hour, Lao Feng checked the situation, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted: "Slip the fire, keep this temperature!"
"A few of you keep an eye on it, wait for two hours and then start the fire, remember not to advance!"
After explaining, he returned to Su Yuan's side, drank a few large sips of tea, picked up the pu fan and said: "At the beginning of the burning, short firewood is used to burn shallowly, so as to prolong the low temperature time, so that the fire in the kiln is balanced, which is called slipping fire." Then gradually turn to high temperature, the firepower should be increased, hence the name of tight fire, also called to catch up with the hall. ”
"It's not that we are conservative and admit death, I also know that many high-tech means have great help and improvement for traditional craftsmanship, but the kiln is different!"
"The heating and cooling of the woodwood kiln is much slower than that of the gas stove, just like steaming steamed buns, the volume of rapid steaming is small, and the volume of slow steaming is large, and the effect is completely different. The same is true for porcelain, so the tire of the firewood kiln is relatively moist and loose. ”
"Firewood kilns evaporate quickly, and the glaze is lighter than coal kilns. In order to improve the quality, the boutique is mostly burned in a sagger to produce a glaze that is crystal clear and moisturizing, and the luster is soft like water. ”
After speaking, he took out a pair of porcelain bowls from the shed, and compared them to Su Yuan under the light: "This is an ancient method of firing, and this is a product of a gas kiln, can you see what is the difference?"
Su Yuan took the porcelain bowl, compared it carefully, nodded and said: "There is a difference in bubbles, the ancient method is to use firewood, and because of the continuous addition of firewood during the firing process, the temperature is sometimes high and sometimes low, which is manifested in the bubbles are different in size and have a strong sense of hierarchy." ”
"In the modern process of gas firing and electric firing, the size of the bubbles is uniform and dense, and if there is a thin glaze, the bubbles are easy to explode, forming countless sesame dots of different sizes. ”
"This is the beauty of the kiln, even the top old fire head can't grasp all the details 100%, every time you open the kiln door, it's a gamble with God!"
Lao Feng looked at the kiln in the distance, his eyes were obsessed, and he muttered to himself: "No, it should be said that it is a miraculous work rewarded by God!"
After a full day and a night, it was finally time to open the kiln, and everyone gathered together to re-incense the Wind and Fire Immortal Master and pray for success. Then he shouted: "Ceasefire, stop the kiln!"
It was a full few hours, until the kiln had completely cooled, and then the sagger was brought out of the kiln and the fired celadon was taken out.
Immediately someone carried cement into the kiln, the firewood kiln has been burned many times, it is inevitable that there will be damage, and there will be cracks in the back hall or chimney of the kiln firewood, which needs to be repaired.
Lao Feng picked up a teacup, carefully cleaned it with water, his face was full of shock, and he muttered to himself: "Excellent...... It's the best!"
Liao Tian also hurriedly ran over, picked up a tea cup, burst into tears of excitement, and trembled: "Linglong porcelain, it is really a long-lost Linglong porcelain!"
Su Yuan picked up a work with his own hands, and his eyes were like a spiritual spring washing, which was refreshing and refreshing.
The rhyme is outside the rhyme, the purpose outside the taste!
After several polishing, repeated melting and smelting, it is reborn into the spring of green mountains and green waters that have not been transformed for thousands of years. Unify the human and natural spirits, so as to reach the ideal realm of art.
I am reminded of what Hegel once said: the artist pours the soul into the earth, softens it, and brings it to life, so that the soul completely penetrates into the material material of nature, and makes it subordinate to its own control.
It is like a tranquil fairy in the mountains, silent, but its soul is very subtle, leisurely, elegant and self-happy, and the quiet jade beauty shown in the tranquility.
Sit down, slowly, slowly, taste tea and appreciate porcelain, boiled Three Kingdoms, tea floats in the house, and porcelain is fragrant. That scene, that taste, that realm......
The whole work forms a vibrant, dynamic and orderly rhythm of life. It seems to be using its unique charm to lead people to appreciate the most extreme fairy realm, and more perfectly interpret the true meaning of life.
Lao Feng exclaimed: "I didn't expect to see Linglong in my lifetime, and die without regrets!"
Liao Tian finished, twenty pieces of plain tires, sixteen pieces of success, each piece of the best, perfect.
Su Yuan was very satisfied, it was the first time that he could have this effect, and he didn't even expect it, just two sets of tea sets, four cups and four lamps, in pairs.
Let the others rest well and return to the workshop with the work, Emi Yanagi quickly called Saemon, and it was simply amazing that it was so superb.
After making an appointment to meet two days later, the Kyoto chain also needed Su Yuan's authorization to sign, and Emi Yanagi accompanied him to the island country, and by the way, handed over the two knives that had been built to Chizumi Kobayashi and Hattori Morimitsu.
Yagyu Saemon held the delicate tea set in both hands, and was amazed and amazed. Obsessed with the tea ceremony for decades, I have never seen such a fine celadon.
Carefully pour the tea, the amber tea through the delicate eyes of the stars, the blue waves ripple like a pearl flashing, the glaze is as warm as jade, which makes people love it.
Kneeling in front of Su Yuan, Zhengse said: "I implore the master to let the Liu Sheng family treasure this set of superb celadon tea sets as the treasure of the town!"
Su Yuan waved his hand and explained with a smile: "This is only the first batch of works, and there will be better ones in the future, this time I will test the island market, can I promote it in large quantities?"
Saemon was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it, "How can such a superb product be mass-produced?"
Su Yuan laughed, briefly introduced the situation, and affirmed: "I heard that Emi said that the market for tea sets in the island country is far broader than swords, I don't know if the Yanagi family has ......."
"Yes!" Yagyu Saemon couldn't help but interrupt Su Yuan's words, bowed again, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm too excited, as long as you want, the Yanagi family can't ask for it!"
Su Yuan nodded with satisfaction, cooperating with the Liu Sheng family is the best result, the other party is a top chaebol, a famous family, and has a very high status in society. The tea ceremony was originally a high-class pastime, a platform for local tyrants to be vassals and elegant, and they had to take the high-end boutique route.
Saemon played with the teacup and planned: "The master doesn't know, what does a set of fine tea sets mean to us island people!"
"Every time a distinguished guest comes to the door, it will be considered extremely rude if there is no high-quality tea set to entertain you. ”
"Whenever a couple gets married, the elders must give a set of tea sets as a congratulatory gift, which can even be passed down for generations. ”
"If the boss is promoted, the fine tea set is the best proof of loyalty. ”
"Especially in the upper class, the tea ceremony is the most important communication platform, if you can have a set of Longquan celadon, a Southern Song Dynasty vase, a Song and Yuan Dynasty calligraphy and painting, it is simply the highest level of enjoyment!"
After speaking, Saemon put down the teacup and said, "Have you ever heard of the Cocoon Mountain Ryusendo?"
