Chapter 792: Divide the cake, everyone is happy

PS: Continuously exploded, urgently seeking monthly pass support. It's the final countdown, so let's vote if you have a ticket.

At this time, Expert Cen looked amazed: "If it weren't for watching Brother Gao take things out of the kiln with my own eyes, and there was still a little residual warmth in the bowl, as well as this spicy fire, I really suspect that the things were put in it in advance, so that Brother Gao could take them out and tease me." ”

After all, it is something that has just come out of the kiln, and the surface is full of spicy fire, which is an inevitable thing. And it is not surprising that this kind of fire will accompany the porcelain for a long time, and it is estimated that it will take decades for the fire to fall silent, and then emit a warm and delicate treasure light. By that time, I am afraid that the distinction between truth and imitation will be even more unclear.

"Brother Cen has won the award, this is not my credit alone, but the brainchild of many people." Gao Dequan smiled, not pretending to be modest, but telling a fact.

Gao Dequan knows very well that if it weren't for the fact that the Su Group spared no expense to hire a group of experts to help him pick up the missing things, I am afraid he would not have the confidence to dare to challenge such a very difficult thing as imitation of porcelain wool. If things were simple, he wouldn't have spent nearly a year preparing and not succeeding until now.

It can only be said to be a success, not a complete success.

Because the carcass of porcelain is relatively thin, it is likely to expand and fragment during the process of high-temperature firing. And such a situation is not accidental, but there is a certain proportion. Now what everyone wants to know most is how many pieces of porcelain in this kiln have been damaged.

The higher the loss rate, the greater the loss for everyone.

At this time, with Gao Dequan's order, everyone took action, carefully moving the mountains of sagger in the kiln to a special warehouse, and then counting the records one by one.

The windows of the warehouse are bright and clean, and the lights are still bright, and Gao Dequan is not a dummy at all. Instead, he carefully arranged the various pieces of porcelain one by one on a wide and long tabletop.

The table is covered with several layers of soft red silk cloth, crystal clear, white as jade porcelain resting on it, and there is plenty of light to shine through, the carcass luster is naturally extraordinarily delicate, and it also makes people dazzled.

There are many kinds of porcelain, but according to the different scope of use, it can be roughly divided into several categories, such as daily tableware, tea sets, wine sets, etc., and the shapes are naturally different. However, it is as white as jade. As well as water point peach blossoms, plum blossoms, hibiscus flowers and other delicate and beautiful ornaments, but they are in the same vein, they are so exquisite, beautiful, beautiful and generous.

It is a pleasure to look at these exquisite artifacts while taking inventory.

However, it was not all a good mood, after all, when he saw the broken porcelain, not only Gao De's face twitched and his heart ached, but others also felt very sorry when they saw it.

As for the reason for broken porcelain. Not only is the tire wall too thin, but also because when the heat is simmering, the water vapor floats in the narrow space and squeezes around uncontrollably. These damaged vases are bad luck. I was squeezed too many times, and then I couldn't admit the pressure and broke directly.

However, even if the reason for this is known. It is also not controlled by human beings at all. From ancient times to the present, countless porcelain masters have focused on research, but they have probably mastered the trick of watching fire. No one has ever dared to say that they can master the changes of fire. Even modern gas kilns and electric kilns can only regulate the temperature, rather than accurately reaching a certain critical point.

Otherwise, why would Gao Dequan want to warm the kiln god and worship the wind and fire immortal. When manpower is insufficient, of course, it is to sacrifice to the ethereal gods and pray for comfort in the heart.

I don't know if there is a divine blessing, anyway, after careful statistics, the final loss rate came out.

"About thirty percent!" Gao Dequan reported a number, looked at a pile of porcelain fragments resting on the ground, and his expression was very complicated. I don't know if I should rejoice or feel sad.

The 30 percent discount rate is not high when it is said to be high, and it is naturally not low when it is said to be low.

If it is for ordinary porcelain, it must be super high. However, these are the finest types of porcelain, and it is said that when they were fired, the maximum yield was not more than 50%. Think about it, through the efforts of Gao Dequan and others, it is not a small progress to increase the production rate to 70%.

In addition, these obsolete porcelains are not necessarily broken, and some are deformed for various reasons, or the glaze decoration is blurred. There is a special term for this situation, which can be called kiln transformation.

The so-called kiln change mainly refers to the uncertain natural change of the glaze color on the surface of the porcelain due to the change of temperature in the kiln during the firing process. The ancients' definition of kiln change was relatively broader, even including changes in porcelain types.

All in all, kiln change can be roughly divided into deformation, discoloration, deterioration and so on. However, there are only two possibilities for the result of kiln change, either kiln disease or kiln treasure.

These two situations have been summarized by the ancients in the book Notes on the South Kiln.

The glaze water color, the wholly-owned kiln fire, or the wind and rain haze, the ground vapor is wet, the glaze is dark and yellow, and all kinds of defects are kiln diseases. The fire glaze water must be just right, and the perfect vessel will be seven or eight out of ten.

In other words, it is due to the climate and fire that the kiln disease is caused. As for the kiln treasure, it is due to the condensation of the essence of the kiln fire, the accidental favorite, the natural strange color, the strange and lovely, it is for the kiln treasure, and it is unobtainable. The representative of the kiln treasure is naturally the Jun porcelain among the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty. Until now, there is still a saying that Jun porcelain is not right, and the kiln has become unique.

However, it is a pity that Gao Dequan is now burning porcelain wool, not Jun porcelain, so there is only the phenomenon of kiln disease, and some glazed dark yellow porcelain, even if it is not broken, is also calculated into the loss rate.

Seeing these discarded products that are not considered discarded, everyone is somewhat heartbroken.

However, it is still more tolerant now, if it is in the ancient imperial kiln factory, these things do not need to be put out at all, it is estimated that the potter will smash it on the spot when he sees it. But now, these things can still be wasted, after all, the quality is also good, and they are sold as handicrafts in the store, and it is estimated that they can also be sold for some money.

But after a moment of regret, no one cares about the scrap. Because after the counting, the main event is coming, and everyone begins to share the cake. The so-called everyone, in fact, is three people. However, Wang Guan and Gao Dequan were very humble, and directly let Su Wenyi choose first, and when he picked well, the two would slowly divide up.

The process is not repeated, anyway, after eliminating the waste, the other porcelains are so perfect that it is difficult to distinguish between high and low. Moreover, considering the problem of damage, Gao Dequan deliberately made many sets of porcelain with the same shape, so in this batch of porcelain, there is no so-called unique thing at all.

After some distribution, everyone is happy.

After that, Su Wenyi fulfilled his promise and chartered a luxurious banquet in the Porcelain Capital Hotel, inviting all the relevant personnel, not only to thank them for their hard work in the past six months, but also to celebrate the achievement. Even after the banquet, a big red envelope was distributed to everyone, in short, it was one word, generous! Heroism!

However, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and no matter how lively the banquet is, it will eventually end.

Life is like this, the next morning, Su Wenyi said goodbye to everyone, shook hands with Gao Dequan, left a polite word looking forward to cooperation again, and left with a batch of porcelain wool.

At this point, the porcelain incident can be regarded as having a beginning and an end, and it can be called a successful end.

After bidding farewell to Su Wensu, everyone immediately drove back to Wang Guan's villa, and then gathered in the living room, and then Wang Guan personally made tea by burning the fire slowly.

After a while, the boiling water rushed into the cup, and wisps of clear tea fragrance came out. At the same time, everyone reached out to hold the teacup, and then they all showed a sighing smile.

"Sure enough, it is resistant to high temperatures, and there is no hot feeling in the slightest." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "Not only does it feel comfortable, but it also looks more eye-catching, which is worthy of being a red official kiln." ”

One of the biggest features of this porcelain is that the teacup with low thermal conductivity and wall thickness of less than millimeter is poured into boiling water, and there is no hot feeling when the cup is held tightly by hand.

Of course, with modern porcelain firing technology, it is not so difficult to achieve a thin carcass and high temperature resistance. For example, some high-end porcelain basically has such a function. But such a thing has no cultural connotation, after all, in the collection industry, liking the new and hating the old is absolutely not valid, on the contrary, it is liking the old and hating the new.

Although this batch of porcelain is also a new thing, but the imitation is the most classic red official kiln, and the quality is very realistic, it can be regarded as a tribute to the classics, so in everyone's minds, these porcelains belong to the classic substitutes, naturally will not be regarded as pure new things.

No matter what it is, once it is related to the cultural connotation, it becomes sublimated. This subtle psychology is indeed worth studying. However, at this time, everyone enjoyed the comfort of drinking tea with precious porcelain, and the mood was very happy.

At the right time, Yu Feibai also asked unceremoniously: "I want two sets, one set of wine sets and one set of tea sets!" As for the tableware, forget it, I don't dare to use it, so as not to bump and break my heartache to death. ”

"Okay, in the study, you can go get it yourself." Wang Guan nodded casually, and then said with a smile: "I definitely don't dare to use the tableware, occasionally take it out and swing it wide, just support the façade, it's usually best to watch." ”

"That's true."

Gao Dequan thought so: "And when you support the façade, it also depends on the people who come." Just show off in front of insiders, and don't pretend to be outsiders. They don't understand the quality of things, if you put them aside and knock a little corner, no matter how annoyed you are, you won't be able to vent your anger. ”

"This is not a joke, I remember a few years ago there was a new collector who spent a lot of money to buy a set of Yongxuan blue and white tea sets. Yongle's teapot and Xuande's cup are decorated with the same blue and white patterns, but they are quite a good match. ”

At this time, Gao Dequan smiled and said: "But this person's personality is similar to Feibai, some love to show off, and people come to entertain guests with this set of tea sets." Even if the connoisseur knows the preciousness of things, he takes them carefully, and then praises them, which also makes him earn enough face. However, I walked a lot at night, and finally met a ghost ......" (to be continued......
