17. Chapter XVII
"The young master just calls me Lao Zheng Tou, I'll take you to the small courtyard where you live first, although the conditions are simple, but the little babies have just cleaned up and are clean." Old Zheng Touhan said with a smile.
Song Qingyi waved his hand, "It's okay, let people take my little guys to the yard, let's go directly to the kiln." Originally, my father said that he should stay for a while, and with his skills in talking on paper, it is estimated that he will have to learn more, so start early if he can start early.
Leaving Qi Runyun by his side, he handed over the luggage he brought to Guan Bi and Lingbao who came with him and took them to the yard to clean up, and Song Qingyi followed Lao Zheng Tou to the kiln factory.
The kiln factory is built on the mountain, the place where the craftsmen live is at the foot of the mountain, the dragon kiln is along the mountain, and other large and small flat kilns are also in the middle of the mountain, so Lao Zheng Tou took them directly up the mountain.
Song Qingyi wants to understand from the beginning, while Qi Runyun wants to understand the materials used in the kneading mold and the temperature resistance of different materials. Therefore, Lao Zheng Tou called another little apprentice to accompany Qi Runyun to the place where the clay materials were put - although most of the Song family used molds from other houses, there were still craftsmen who kneaded molds in such a large kiln factory, after all, sometimes there were no such large quantities of molds from other companies for burning small materials.
Because Song Qingyi was in the kiln factory for the first time, Lao Zheng Tou heard Uncle Nan tell him about his situation, so he took him to the warehouse where the glazed stone was put first.
Song Qingyi learned from the book that the glazed stone is made of glazed stone to add the glazed mother to fire, and the understanding of the glazed stone also comes from the book, and there is a cloud in the book: "The five colors of the stone are all ...... This Qiankun creation looms on the easy ground. "All five colors should be magnificent.
But when he really saw the appearance of the glazed stone, Song Qingyi realized that it was just some ordinary gravel, but there were faint points of light, until Lao Zheng Tou lit a candle from nowhere and dangled it from the stone, and the stars reflecting the color on it made Song Qingyi feel its beauty.
"Young master, look, these stones are naturally raised five-color stones, you can see green here, and this side is a little purple, and if you shake the light, it will become a transparent smoky brown." Lao Zheng Tou picked up a piece of glazed stone and kept shaking it under the candle flame, and sure enough, as he said, the originally rough and unremarkable stone slightly flashed with the light in different colors, and the surface could be seen to be a little transparent.
This magical scene naturally surprised Song Qingyi. "Magnificent and magical, no wonder it is said to be the result of Qiankun's creation."
"Yes, when the little apprentice saw it for the first time, he also thought it was a fairy thing, how could there be such a transparent stone, more beautiful than jade." Lao Zheng Tou looked at Song Qingyi's appearance and said with a smile. Then Song Qingyi's words were followed to introduce how many colored glazed stones are the best materials for firing, and what kind of processes do bad materials need to go through to qualify.
"In fact, the glazed stone should be transparent, but when it is mixed with other stones, it will be so dotted, so if the fineness is too low, we have to burn the ore first. Wait until it is burned to the right color, and it can be used. ”
Song Qingyi nodded, "What about Liulimu?" Compared with the glazed stone, he is actually more curious about the glazed mother, he flipped through some of the books given by his father, but the records are mostly specious, there is a book that says: "The glazed mother, if today's money is sloppy, the size of the piece is Yuer fist, and it is also called the real temple of the court, but it can be made in the shape of a kezi, green, red, yellow and white with the color, and it is not necessary to be." "But what is "money", the one who is sucking, the dirt, what does this have to do with Liulimu, although Song Qingyi saw it, he didn't understand what it meant. The only thing that is certain is that this is also an ore, but it has been processed in various recipes.
Thinking that he could ask Lao Zheng Tou for the answer right now, Song Qingyi was a little uncomfortable.
"Young master, Liulimu is actually a general term, and it is a combination of many things. The more specific is the secret recipe of each family, and most of the materials are a little different. And most of these recipes are heirlooms. Lao Zheng Tou didn't say it bluntly because Song Qingyi was the young master of the owner's family, but he also understood this very clearly, Liulimu is the secret recipe, and Young Master Song should not know it from him if he wants to know.
When Song Qingyi heard this, he suddenly remembered that when the Song family fell in the previous life, he had not yet recognized the true face of his junior sister, and he was distressed that he would let his beloved live a hard life in the future. In addition to the position of the craftsman's seat, the transparent and magnificent finished product has always been the most talked about and sought after place, and this is absolutely inseparable from the Song family's secret recipe of the glass mother.
So he was later swept out of the Song family because they found the formula?
When Song Qingyi thought of this, the hatred hidden in his heart was no longer restrained, and the handsome aura on his face was swept away, replaced by a hideous color.

When Qi Runyun returned to the room, he brought some clay materials, and in addition to some crucible soil-this is the clay material that Qi Runyun saw when a craftsman used to fire glazed tiles, because he had some vague thoughts in his heart, he asked the person who took him to take some back to the room.
Because he was thinking too intently, Qi Runyun didn't even notice the strange silence in the room, knowing that he was still twisting the soil with the bag in his hands, he was suddenly hugged tightly and hooped into a person's arms, and was surprised to find that Song Qingyi had already returned to the room first.
Probably because the hug came too abruptly, or the strange feeling he felt when he came into the still dim room for a while, Qi Runyun finally noticed that the person holding him was not right. Qi Runyun paused for a moment before putting his hand on the arms holding him, and called out for the first time, "Duanjin?" ”
