Chapter 115: Tiles
The next day, it was already sunny, Liu Feng lazily got up from Ulan's bed ~ , although he did not carry out the exercise that was beneficial to his body and mind last night, but also in the name of the lesson, but also to Ulan up ~ down ~ its ~ hand, teased, some rare in the hour to get up.
Ulan is no longer around, Liu Feng waved his hand and asked the maid to go out, although he was a little lazy, but in addition to Ulan, he was still not used to and didn't like others to dress and wash him, lazily put on the clothes that Ulan had already prepared, and just finished washing, but saw Ulan wearing the cloud shoulders that Liu Feng gave her yesterday, and came with a meal.
Laughing, put down breakfast, walked to the room, took out another identical cloud shoulder with some anger, and put it aside without saying a word, but ate breakfast by himself, leaving Liu Feng alone to stand awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
Liu Feng is indeed a little embarrassed at the moment, I don't know how to explain, on Yucheng Street, when he was inspecting, there were good cloud shoulders in the shop of the local merchant, so he bought two pieces and gave them to the two girls who liked him, but he didn't think much about it at that time, but yesterday, he was discovered by Ulan.
"Sister ......" Lan smiled and ate breakfast, Liu Feng smiled bitterly, and it was not an exaggeration to describe himself with self-inflicted suffering, but Liu Feng was not angry about Wulan, but Liu Feng had no bottom in his heart and didn't know how to persuade him.
But in my heart, I made up my mind that I would definitely not let similar things happen in the future.
"What are you doing? Eat fast! Will you go to the burning camp sister later? Ulan glanced at Liu Feng and said calmly,
"Sister! Don't be angry, I'll give you a gift that will surprise you on your birthday! Liu Feng wanted to expose this matter as soon as possible, and he couldn't accept it, although Ulan wouldn't say anything if he got such a handle, it was enough to make Liu Feng ashamed.
I don't know if Wulan is because of Liu Feng's promise, or if he is not angry, he smiled: "Okay! Sister is waiting for your surprise! ”
It is said that a woman's heart is a needle, and Liu Feng, who has no experience in feelings, how can he guess Wulan's thoughts, so he had to smile awkwardly: "Okay!" Good! ”
He couldn't guess Ulan's thoughts, but he didn't know that Ulan had already guessed his thoughts, Ulan knew that Liu Feng was just as good to Zhao Xuewei as he was to himself, maybe it was just because of the marriage contract, he was better for himself, but Feng was embarrassed and at a loss just now, and she was still very satisfied.
Liu Feng quickly solved the breakfast with some embarrassment, and was about to get up and go to the burning camp, but unexpectedly, Wulan took out another cloud shoulder and said slowly: "This one is not the same as what I wear, it is very suitable for Sister Xuewei!" As he spoke, he handed it to Liu Feng, ignoring the stunned Liu Feng, and walked straight out.
The two were speechless, and with a group of guards, they rushed to the burning camp in the west of the city.
But at this time, Liu Fenglan's eyes may have something other than love.
……
Yucheng, burned as a camp.
As Liu Feng's money bag, the burning camp has been rectified several times and has become the premier kiln in the north, as the last industry of the Liu family, Liu Feng is relatively still very concerned.
Today's firing camp is divided into three places, and in the west mountain outside the city, there is the largest brick and lime firing workshop in Cizhou, with nearly 1,000 craftsmen alone. The firing camp in the city is also divided into two places, one is for the firing research and development of porcelain, which is mainly led by Zhao Xuewei and a group of craftsmen; One is the porcelain bottle firing place with mature firing techniques, which is responsible for Zhaozhi, and the two craftsmen have a total of more than 400 people, in the many workshop camps in Yucheng, the firing camp is also a behemoth.
However, Liu Feng also knows that there is no competitive product, it is difficult to make progress, since there is no competition in the external environment, then it has to set up internal competition, only in the competitive environment can there be better products, Liu Feng in the firing camp divided into multiple groups, in the firing quantity and quality have a comparison of immovable specifications, so that they can continue to make progress in the competition.
With the continuous expansion of the firing camp, Liu Feng has the idea of firing porcelain, the art of fire and earth, will bring huge benefits to Liu Feng, "porcelain" for this country, is a symbol, even in later generations, with glass and other chemical products, porcelain also occupies a certain position in people's lives.
Liu Feng loved porcelain from the bottom of his heart, and loved this beautiful object smelted by fire, perhaps because of this, he also liked the black girl who loved porcelain as much as he did.
And this girl was also dressed up early in the morning, and in the workshop, looking at the door of the burning camp, looking forward to Liu Feng's arrival.
Zhao Zhi'er looked forward to it, and sighed in her heart: "The female is not staying!" "But he's happy to do it!
When Zhao Xue Weifeng and Ulan came together, she was still a little disappointed in her heart, but when Liu Feng put the cloud shoulder on her, she didn't care anymore.
With Ulan on his side, Liu Feng was not good at showing too closeness, and after entering the workshop, Liu Feng explained his thoughts to Zhao Xuewei, the idea of firing tiles.
As the most practical porcelain, ceramic tiles are the most indispensable, when the wooden planks are paved with blue bricks, exquisite tiles appear as the choice of paving for wealthy families, which is also the first gift that Liu Feng is ready to prepare for the Later Han Dynasty and Tang Shu Jing Chu Khitan everywhere.
Ceramic tile in later generations, but it is the most common kind of architectural ceramics, but Liu Feng at this time, to fire out of the tile, there is still a great difficulty, one is as a paving tile, to have enough hardness and strength and glaze wear resistance; Second, how to fire, a finger thick tile, the molding of ceramic tiles is a big problem.
Liu Feng knows that there are many types of ceramic tiles in later generations, but it is still the same sentence, the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, fortunately, although Liu Feng and Zhao Xuewei are not master-level porcelain-making figures, but Liu Feng has advanced knowledge of ceramic tile firing, coupled with Zhao Xuewei's solid porcelain-making skills, but they have the ability to outperform the masters.
As the raw material of ceramic tiles, there is generally a high concentration of porcelain stone and kaolin, fortunately in these Yucheng have, but the proportion of the two needs to be constantly debugged, the porcelain clay that is ground in the giant mill, after the washing pool is constantly washed, and then turned into mud, after the precipitation of the washing pool, the water is evaporated, and the porcelain embryo mud that can be made is obtained.
And the most difficult thing to do is to make porcelain embryos, when there is no better way, Liu Feng can only use his hands with Zhao Xuewei in the mold frame, with experience, in the brick embryo.
Because it is a trial production, Liu Feng did not work the decoration, but after the mud embryo was cooled and dried, a layer of red copper in the glaze was coated, and after low-temperature solid firing, Liu Feng carried out uniform glazing.
After nearly three days of busyness, the first batch of ceramic tiles can be fired in the kiln, fortunately, in these three days, with the company of two beauties, it does not seem so boring, Liu Feng even felt for a moment that porcelain making is more comfortable than staying in the conference hall and dealing with those affairs.
However, how could he do what he wanted, after Liu Feng did not handle official business for nearly three days, Deng Junliang, Guo Chongtao and others found the burning camp and chased them back.
