Chapter 6 Glaze Making (1)

After lunch, Shen Baguio was sleepy and went to the back room to take a nap, Shen Nianqing left the stone to chat in the yard, the stone was originally squirming and said that he wanted to go home, and saw Shen Nianqing move the bean paste cake, mung bean cake, and sesame cake to the table in the yard.

Shen Nianqing picked up a piece of mung bean cake, handed it to the stone with a smile, and said softly: "Stone, A-Niang is not only delicious to make bean paste cake, but also tastes very good, can you try a piece?" ”

The stone nodded like pounding garlic, took the mung bean cake in Shen Nianqing's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, shouting while eating: "It's delicious!" ”

"Don't worry, or you'll choke. Let's take a drink of saliva first. Shen Nianqing handed a glass of water to the stone, "Stone, do you have any other special stones besides the transparent stones in your gem mountain?" ”

The stone took a sip of water and swallowed the mung bean cake in his mouth, thought about it, and replied, "Special stone? ”

"That's right! For example, are there any yellow, red, or milky white stones? ”

The stone scratched his head and tried to remember: "I really didn't pay attention to this, I was only interested in digging for gems." ”

"That's right." Shen Nianqing tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a while, and then said, "Don't get in the way, I'll talk about it tomorrow when I go with you." ”

The stone nodded, looked at Shen Nianqing in contemplation, and said suspiciously: "Ah Qing, do you like these stones and also want to make them into chains?" ”

Shen Nianqing shook his head: "These are just ordinary ores, and they are not worth a few dollars when used to make chains." ”

"Huh?!" Stone was surprised, "Did you say that gem was not valuable?" But it's so crystal clear, it's the same gem I saw in the gem shop! ”

It was difficult for Shen Nianqing to explain the problem of molecular structure to a twelve-year-old ancient baby, but he told the stone with great certainty: "That stone can be found in ordinary mountains, and it is indeed not a gem." However, because of the clear texture, it can be used to make chains and the like for the little girl's family to play with. ”

Shi Shi was half cold when he heard that what he had found was not a gem: "Since you said that this is not valuable, then why do you want to dig it with me?" ”

As soon as Shen Nianqing wanted to explain, he saw Shen An coming back with a hoe on his back, and jumped up happily and ran towards Shen An.

"Daddy, are you back?" Shen Nianqing took Shen An's hoe and reached out to wipe Shen An's sweat, "Daddy, hurry up and go in, I have something to say to Daddy!" ”

"Oh?" Shen An looked at his daughter's strange appearance, and the fatigue of the day suddenly disappeared by half, and he was pulled into the house by Shen Nianqing with a smile.

"Stones! You come in too! Shen Nianqing turned around and shouted stones.

As soon as he heard Shen Nianqing call himself, Shi quickly took a few mung bean cakes and stuffed them into his mouth and pocket, and followed behind with his head drooping.

"Daddy, drink some water!" Shen Yuanheng took a large bowl of cold boiled water and respectfully handed it to Shen An.

Shen An took it, drank it in one gulp, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really hot this day, I'm afraid I'm going to get heat stroke when I go to the ground in a few days." By the way, Sister Qing'er, what did you just say to Daddy? ”

Shen Nianqing took out the quartz and showed it to Shen An, and asked, "Does Daddy know what this is?" ”

Shen An took a look and naturally replied, "Oh, this is just an ordinary stone in the mountains. Sister Qing asked what this is for? ”

Shen Nianqing replied: "Daddy, my daughter found a book in her grandfather's bookcase before, and there was an article on it that once recorded a method of making glaze, using this kind of stone!" ”

"Glaze?" Shen An wondered, "What is glaze?" ”

"The book says that glaze can be applied to the surface after the pottery is made, and the surface will become crystal clear, so that the pottery will be unprecedented! Daddy, I guess this must be a grandfather's secret arrangement! Shen Nianqing couldn't explain how he knew about the glaze, so he had to use the name of his dead grandfather, which is strange.

Suddenly listening to this, Shen An was a little confused for a while: "Sister Qing, have you ever tried this method you said?" ”

Shen Nianqing shook her head: "Daddy, my daughter doesn't understand the way to do this, so she won't dare to try it rashly, so she will wait for Daddy to come and discuss it before making a decision." ”

Shen An pondered, took a piece of quartz and looked at it carefully, if it can really make a glaze like what Sister Qing said, it must be the only one in this world, but can it really be done with this stone?

Shen Nianqing saw Shen An's suspicious look, and persuaded him: "Daddy, if it can really be made, let's try it and find out, right?" ”

Shen An nodded and asked, "What do you need for the materials for making glaze, besides this stone?" ”

Shen Nianqing thought for a moment and replied, "You still need feldspar and clay." ”

"Clay is available at home, but what kind of stone is this feldspar?" Shen An was puzzled.

"The book says that feldspar is a common stone, usually milky white or flesh-colored. I've never seen it before. "Shen Nianqing made a difficulty.

"Sister, I know the stone you mentioned, and there is one on the back hill behind our house!" Shen Yuanheng had been listening carefully by the two of them, and when he heard Shen Nianqing say that he still needed milky white stones, he couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two.

"Really?" Shen Nianqing was pleasantly surprised.

"Seriously! If Sister doesn't believe me, I can pick up some for you right now! Shen Yuanheng was afraid that Shen Nianqing would not believe it, so he wanted to go to the back mountain to pick up feldspar.

Shen Nianqing grabbed Shen Yuanheng and scolded with a smile: "Sister don't believe it, don't worry, Sister will go to the back mountain with you." ”

"I'm going too!" The stone had long been unable to stand on the side, and now when he heard that he was going to dig the stone in the back mountain, he was busy volunteering.

"Hmmm! Let's go! Shen Yuanheng smiled.

The back mountain of the Shen family is not high, it is actually a small hill, and ordinary children can spend a quarter of an hour playing back and forth on the mountain. Shen Yuanheng took Shen Nianqing and the others to the top of the mountain, the terrain on the top of the mountain was relatively flat, there were not many trees, and there were some weeds that were not growing well and were dying.

"Sister, look, is that the feldspar you said?" Shen Yuanheng pointed to a large rock not far away and asked Shen Nianqing.

Shen Nianqing walked in to observe, the stone showed a natural flesh color, the surface texture was clear, the texture was hard, and it faintly exuded a glass luster under the sunlight.

This is exactly what feldspar is!

The Shen family is afraid that it is really going to be transferred!
