For the next few days, Jiang Ping did not go to school at all, and carefully sifted the porcelain clay in the warehouse every day, selecting the best part from the porcelain clay he bought.

Porcelain clay is the basis for firing porcelain, and what Jiang Ping wants to fire is not ordinary porcelain, so it is even more careless in this regard. This time, Jiang Ping bought hundreds of kilograms of porcelain clay, but after layers of screening, there were only less than ten kilograms that could be used.

In addition to porcelain clay, other raw materials must also be carefully selected, and each one must not be careless. Otherwise, the final product will be flawed, which will directly affect Jiang Ping's plan.

After selecting all the raw materials, Jiang Ping began to make embryos with mud. The water-filled porcelain clay seemed to be alive in his dexterous hands. Slowly, from an inconspicuous pile of clay, it became the shape of porcelain.

Jiang Ping made three rough embryos, two big wrists and a plate out of sifted porcelain clay. After the clay had dried a little, he began to carefully apply the blue and white glaze to the surface.

As with embryo making, glazing should not be done in the slightest. Whether it is to paint the pattern on the surface of the porcelain with blue and white material, or to glaze the entire surface, it is necessary to be meticulous. Even the slightest mistake can be multiplied after firing in the kiln, completely destroying the porcelain.

Of course, it is not enough to be careful, you also need a lot of experience. What Jiang Ping wants to imitate is the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, so the pattern is required to have the characteristics of that time, otherwise the insider will see through this imitation at a glance.

It takes a lot of experience and a lot of practice to draw a pattern that is characteristic of that era, and it is impossible to do it without years of hard work. In fact, Jiang Ping did put a lot of effort into this aspect in his previous life. That's why it's so handy at this time.

When glazing the porcelain embryo. Jiang Ping remembered a joke he had heard in his previous life. So when he wrote the bottom of the three pieces of porcelain. Played a little trick that only he knew.

Although there seems to be nothing unusual about these three pieces of porcelain at the moment, when the time comes, Jiang Ping can make them appear in a surprising way.

After the glaze is applied to the porcelain embryo, the next step is to enter the kiln to fire. Unlike the ancients, who used clay kilns to fire porcelain, Jiang Ping used modern equipment in this step. The high-temperature electric stove that I ordered before can finally come in handy.

Compared with the firewood kiln, the high-temperature electric furnace is smaller. It is not possible to fire large quantities of porcelain. However, it has the advantage of being easy to control and can change the temperature freely, and it is most suitable for firing some fine porcelain on a small scale.

Jiang Ping carefully put all three porcelain embryos into the electric furnace, and then began to slowly heat the electric furnace, and finally stabilized it at the most suitable temperature. The use of high-temperature electric furnaces has the advantage of being able to accurately control the temperature in the furnace, which is very beneficial for firing porcelain.

Firing can be said to be the most important step in porcelain making, during the firing process Jiang Ping did not even return to his residence, has been guarding the electric stove, at any time to grasp the temperature in the furnace and the firing situation.

After two days of firing, Jiang Ping began to lower the temperature in the furnace. Allow the temperature of the porcelain to slowly cool down to about the same level as room temperature. After a long time of waiting, it was finally time to open the furnace.

"Hopefully it will work. Jiang Ping prayed secretly in his heart. Then the high-temperature electric stove was carefully turned on.

As soon as the furnace door opened, a stream of hot air rushed towards him, causing Jiang Ping's face to ache. However, he was already prepared, and only tilted his head slightly to dodge, and then looked into the electric stove with some nervousness.

Of the three pieces of porcelain that Jiang Ping sent in, one had been split in half. This made him a little disappointed, and he couldn't help muttering: "The craftsmanship has regressed, this would not have happened before." ”

If this is heard by other ceramic craftsmen, they will definitely be half angry. You must know that Jiang Ping's imitations are all very large objects, and the tires are already very thin, so the success rate of 30% is already very good. And at present, there is a success rate of more than sixty percent, Jiang Ping is still not satisfied, it is simply too much.

To Jiang Ping's somewhat comforting effect, the other two pieces of porcelain looked pretty good. He carefully took out the two pieces of porcelain and began to examine the fruits of his labor.

The first is a visual inspection, which mainly looks at the porcelain for defects and flaws that are visible to the naked eye. After a visual inspection, Jiang Ping began to examine the details of the porcelain little by little with a magnifying glass.

There are many aspects to be checked, from the shape, tire quality, ring foot, glaze to the bottom of the style, each must be close to perfect, only in this way can it be considered a successful imitation.

After carefully examining it with a magnifying glass for more than an hour, Jiang Ping sighed softly and casually pushed the first piece of porcelain to the ground. With a crisp sound, the porcelain that Jiang Ping had spent so much effort firing and which looked very good turned into fragments.

Jiang Ping, of course, did not do this for no reason, but because obvious flaws were found in the porcelain. It may be impossible for a layman to discover this problem, but in the eyes of an insider, this small flaw undoubtedly indicates that this porcelain is newly fired and cannot be an old object from the Yuan Dynasty at all.

Jiang Ping fired these porcelains in order to take revenge on Li Wenxing. This guy is already very cunning, and he has been wandering in the antique street for many years, so he can definitely be regarded as an expert.

Therefore, Jiang Ping did not allow any problems with these porcelains, even the smallest deficiencies, which could arouse Li Wenxing's vigilance, and thus make the whole plan a complete failure.

"And one last one, I hope it doesn't disappoint me. Jiang Ping picked up the last piece of porcelain and continued to examine it carefully.

The last piece of porcelain left was a large bowl with a blue and white twig pattern. Not only is the shape neat, the color is gorgeous and simple, but also the tire is tight and light, which is also the most satisfying piece for Jiang Ping.

What made Jiang Ping even happier was that after careful inspection, he found that this blue and white bowl could be described as perfect. In all respects, it is completely in line with the characteristics of Yuan Qinghua, and it can be described as impeccable. Jiang Ping believes that even if those experts in the antique world are allowed to come to see the identification, they will come to the conclusion that this is indeed Yuan Qinghua.

Of course, in the process of firing porcelain, Jiang Ping left an unknown back door. As long as he wants, he can turn this enviable "Yuan Dynasty Blue and White Bowl" into a huge joke at any time.

Jiang Ping looked at the blue and white bowl in front of him with satisfaction, then carefully put it into the box that had been prepared a long time ago, and left the rented warehouse with so many hard results.

On the way back to the city, Jiang Ping called Li Quan, Wei Zixin's subordinate, and asked him to call Wu Dezhou out and meet him at the designated place. Li Quan's work efficiency was very high, and not long after Jiang Ping arrived, he also came with the anxious Wu Dezhou.

"Good work. Jiang Ping nodded to Li Quan and threw him a stack of RMB.

After dealing with Jiang Ping a few times, Li Quan knew that he was very generous. So this time there was no excuse, just smiled at Jiang Ping and said, "Thank you, Brother Ping!"

Jiang Ping pointed to Wu Dezhou, who didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and said to Li Quan with a smile: "I'll talk to him for a few words, you wait for us for a while." ”

Li Quan immediately understood what Jiang Ping meant, and walked away with his two men, leaving only Jiang Ping and Wu Dezhou.

After Li Quan and the others walked away, Jiang Ping said to Wu Dezhou, who was nervous: "Sit down, I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Wu Dezhou stood honestly in place, nodded at Jiang Ping and said, "If there is anything you command, I will go to the soup to fight the fire!"

Looking at Wu Dezhou's aggrieved appearance, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel a little funny. It seems that Li Quan and the others have been tossing this guy a lot recently, which really makes him feel scared.

However, Jiang Ping also knew in his heart that an old fritter like Wu Dezhou would never really be dead set on anyone, he was just doing it for himself. Don't look at Wu Dezhou as honest as a little sheep on the surface, he doesn't know how to scold Jiang Ping in his heart, maybe he will deal with him at the first opportunity.

Such a person will only be loyal to one person, and that is himself. The only way to get them to do something willingly is to have enough benefits.

Before coming to meet Wu Dezhou, Jiang Ping had already thought all about it clearly. In fact, he is indeed ready to come up with enough benefits to make Wu Dezhou tempted to let him do things for himself.

Jiang Ping did not debunk Wu Dezhou's lies, but just asked him lightly: "Li Wenxing wants you to deal with me, did you say how much benefit you will get?"

Hearing Jiang Ping's old story recalled, Wu Dezhou hurriedly cursed and swore: "I will never dare to offend you again in the future, and I won't do anything to give you any money! If I am still like that, let me be reincarnated as a king in the next life!"

"I'm not looking for you to settle old accounts, what are you doing so nervous?" Knowing that swearing to Wu Dezhou was like drinking boiled water, Jiang Ping frowned and said, "If you ask, I'll answer honestly, don't talk about those useless things." ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ping paused for a moment, and then seriously reminded Wu Dezhou: "Also, don't swear by gambling curses in the next life!"

Seeing that Jiang Ping didn't eat his own set, Wu Dezhou replied honestly: "He didn't say how much money he wanted to give me, it depends on how much he can get from you." If it's a qiē shun lì, it should be able to give me a 10,000 pieces. ”

Jiang Ping said in disbelief: "You basically do everything, and you take more risks, he gives you such a point, and you are willing to do it?"

"I can't help it!" Wu Dezhou began to complain: "Li Wenxing has a big face, is familiar with people, and has people in industry and commerce, taxation, and public security, if I don't agree, I won't be able to mix in the future!"

Thinking of what happened a few days ago, Jiang Ping nodded lightly and accepted Wu Dezhou's explanation, and then looked at him word by word and said: "Right now, I have a money-making deal, and the benefits are absolutely indispensable to you, are you interested?!" (To be continued......)
