Chapter 36 Out of the Kiln
Every time the porcelain out of the kiln to worship the kiln god, in the previous life, the kiln gods on the land of Shenzhou are different, some worship Lao Tzu, because Lao Tzu is the ancestor of Taoism, long in the art of alchemy. Alchemy requires fire heating; Some of the statues are civil official images, with gentle and elegant expressions; Some of them look like military generals, with fierce faces, wearing crowns on their heads, wearing robes and armor, black robes inside, and holding steel whips.
When he was ready, Zhao Zhi raised his voice, "Please kiln god!" ”
I saw eight potters carrying a statue with a fierce face, wearing a crown, wearing a robe and armor, a black robe, and a steel whip in his hand.
Two potters respectfully set up a table in front of the statue of the kiln god, several incense burners and a black sheep's head. Worshipping the god of the kiln is valued in black, which is also different from worshipping other gods.
After Zhao Zhi respectfully put on the three incense sticks, he led the potters to kneel down, and after three bows, he sang: "Kiln God bless!" Instrument Cheng! Fire suppression! Out of the kiln! ”
A group of potters responded in unison and sang in unison: "Kiln God bless!" Instrument Cheng! Fire suppression! Out of the kiln! ”
The kiln fire was gradually extinguished, the kiln workers knocked on the sealed kiln door, and after the temperature in the kiln gradually became lower, Zhao Zhi slowly took out the first porcelain bottle, when the porcelain bottle just came out of the kiln mouth to reveal some true face.
"Ahh Yes! This ......", the exclamations at the scene were endless, and they couldn't find words to describe.
Just as the afternoon sun lazily shone on the porcelain vase, it looked so graceful and luxurious, magnificent. The red peony blooms on the porcelain vase, with gold leaves, just like the bottle body of the high-necked dress of the Tang Dynasty ladies winds around, quietly blooming, and sets off the luxurious and delicate red peony in the black background.
Black and brilliant red are both relatively difficult colors to fire, although they are far from the sharp color contrast that Liu Feng had in his previous life, but this is already a masterpiece or a masterpiece at the moment.
Zhao Zhi and other masters were overjoyed, they didn't expect that the glaze prepared by Liu Feng and Zhao Xuewei had such a beautiful effect.
Even Bai Naren, who didn't know much about porcelain culture, couldn't close her mouth in surprise, she didn't know that her son still had such a good talent, and secretly guessed in her heart whether this was the secret of the Liu family.
Liu Feng, who was carefully looking at the "noble and peaceful" vase, was so excited that Zhao Xuewei almost touched the porcelain vase, Zhao Xuewei didn't expect that they could make such a beautiful porcelain vase, and she didn't know how to speak for a while, but she held Liu Feng's arm tightly.
Liu Fengqian's porcelain vase is about 80 centimeters high, thinking that this is also a fine porcelain that is difficult to see in this era, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with such a few porcelain vases, his family wealth is enough for him to continue to squander!
With the porcelain vase accompanied by everyone's exclamations one by one out of the kiln, a "noble and peaceful" and two "honest and virtuous" have been placed in front of the kiln, Liu Feng saw that the porcelain vase has been out of the kiln, so let everyone disperse.
As the kiln extinguished the fire, the surroundings were a little cold, and the potters were still immersed in the sigh that Liujiayao could fire such a fine porcelain vase, Liu Feng stretched his waist, and Zhaozhi and other masters who were studying this exquisite porcelain on the side smiled and said: "There is time for you to study, and come here, and have something to say to you!" ”
The masters reluctantly turned their eyes to Liu Feng, stepped forward and said, "Please also command!" ”
"You don't have to be so polite! What ideas do you have for this beautiful porcelain vase!? Liu Feng said with a smile,
Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Liu Feng fortunately said directly: "Our kiln mainly burns tea cups, pots, bowls and plates on weekdays, and exquisite porcelain bottles are rarely fired, but now we can fire such exquisite porcelain bottles, why do we burn those daily utensils?" ”
Seeing that everyone seemed to understand a little, Liu Feng continued: "There are still some things that need the cooperation of several masters, our firing camp is gradually becoming more and more manpowered, we will build two more kilns to burn bricks and lime respectively!" Now that we have enough coal, there is no need for such a small fight, we need to build a strong enough fortress wall when the Khitan wolf rides in autumn! ”
Seeing Liu Feng telling them about the development of the firing camp in high spirits, the masters were surprised again, the current Liujia porcelain kiln is one of the largest porcelain kilns in Cizhou, and Liu Feng said that two more kilns will be built, I really dare not imagine what scale it will be.
On the side, Liu Feng excitedly explained his thoughts to everyone, Bai Naren was also extremely proud, she also thought that one day, her son would build Liujiabao better, and would take them, who were persecuted by all countries and ethnic groups and had nowhere to make a living, on a road to prosperity, but she didn't expect her son to grow up so fast, and she didn't think that her son Liu Feng could lead them to what point.
In the midst of everyone's sighs, there was a commotion, Liu Yandong, Pan Qingyun, Wulan and others rushed over, they heard that several porcelain vases newly out of the kiln are high-quality, so they came to see three exquisite porcelain vases, the translucent glaze reflected the noon sun, it seemed more colorful.
"Commander, such a good thing, you should notify us!" Before the fine porcelain, Pan Qingyun complained to Liu Feng. Liu Feng was dumbfounded for a while, Pan Qingyun had always looked like he was in his chest, and he had never seen him so surprised and sighed, even the big waterwheel a few days ago, he did not lose his expression so much.
"Commander, can we still fire this porcelain vase again?" In the end, it was the character who passed through the scene, and he calmed his mind in a moment and asked Liu Feng.
"It should be fine!" Zhaozhi, who was on the side, said, and after a little thought, he said: "If the masters are proficient, after learning the molds that the commander taught us to make, we can fire more!" ”
"No!" Liu Feng and Pan Qingyun said in unison
Qingyun also said so, and Liu Feng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did Uncle Pan Shi say this?" ”
Feng asked him curiously, so he talked eloquently: "Such exquisite porcelain, the investment of manpower and material resources when firing must be not small, and porcelain is a fragile object, such a large amount of fine porcelain, a large number of appears, the price will also fluctuate!" So we just need the same porcelain vase to make a fine product! It can not only save time and labor, but also allow us to earn silver taels. ”
Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction, he had to admire Pan Qingyun's wisdom, he himself had the so-called limited edition items in his previous life, so he thought of making these exquisite porcelain vases into limited editions, so that he could achieve the greatest benefit, but Pan Qingyun had already thought of this step, and I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
Hearing Pan Qingyun's explanation, Zhao Zhi also nodded understandingly, he was a little curious that Pan Qingyun was a well-known old fox, and it was not surprising that he would have such an idea. And Liu Feng is so calculating, how can he be so calculating, in fact, Pan Qingyun is also thinking about this problem, which makes Liu Feng more and more important in their hearts.
