ps: The monthly pass is in jeopardy, and it will break out today, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a check!!!!

Feng Gong ignored himself, but Qi Xiang was noncommittal, he was not so narrow-minded, and he was angry about this little thing.

All in all, with the efforts of several workers, the work of plain porcelain glazing is very fast. In half a day, the task has been successfully completed, which is the difference between professional and non-professional.

"Loading it now."

At this moment, Feng Gong took control of the power and gave orders with ease. Several employees also obeyed the order, brought a sagger next to the stock, and placed the glazed porcelain in the sagger.

These saggers act as a kind of isolation measure to prevent the porcelain from coming into contact with each other, and the free glaze is glued together when the glaze changes between high temperatures.

In addition, the porcelain is very stable in the bowl and is not easy to deform.

Anyway, China has thousands of miles of experience in burning pottery and porcelain, how to be able to fire a kiln of good porcelain, naturally there is a set of strict rules, even if you don't understand the doorway, as long as you go on step by step.

After the bowl is loaded, it is transported to the kiln chamber.

Next, it is the △ step of sealing the kiln and ignition.

Before lighting the fire, according to traditional customs, under the guidance of Zhu Shen, Qi Xiang went to worship the kiln god, put on the incense, and kowtowed again, which was considered to be the completion of the ceremony.

"Let's fire!"

In contrast, Feng Gong was a little bored, as soon as the ceremony was over, he waved his hand casually and gave a command, and then simply turned around and said, "You guys watch for yourself first, and then call me ...... when the time is almost up."

Feng Gong walked away, Qi Xiang frowned, and asked, "This, is the so-called help me look at the torch pile?" ”

"Ahem!"

Zhu Shen smiled embarrassedly. Reluctantly explained: "Qi Xiang, you must know that this time is different from the past. In ancient times, firewood was used to burn the kiln, and it must be very particular about the fire of the pile. Looking at the fire depends on the experience accumulated over the years. ”

"But now, we use electric kilns and gas kilns."

Zhu Shen spread his hands and said: "The temperature in the kiln can be monitored at any time through the instrument, which is a requirement for experience." Nature is greatly reduced. Just make sure at the last minute whether you can turn off the ignition. ”

"Hey, I said it earlier." Qi Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let me misunderstand, isn't it ......"

Zhu Shen glanced at him, and then beckoned: "Let's go too, and come back in a few days." ”

"Just go back like this?" Qi Xiang hesitated a little: "Don't wait here?" ”

"Yes." Zhu Shen said casually: "If you are willing to stay and wait, I definitely have no opinion." But I'm going back, after all, a kiln of porcelain must be burned for a few days before it can be extinguished. After turning off the heat. It will take two days to wait for it to cool down naturally. ”

"You stay, you don't have much to do but watch the fire."

Zhu Shen woke up and said: "This process is very boring. You must not get bored. ”

"In that case......

Qi Xiang blinked and said decisively: "Then go back." ”

After going back, Qi Xiang came to the workshop again, and it was a few days later. When he arrived at the workshop. But I was surprised to find that the kiln had been turned off, and a group of employees gathered outside the kiln door, as if to open the seal.

"What's going on. What are you doing? Qi Xiang asked loudly, a little anxious.

"Open the kiln, what else are you doing?" Zhu Shen came out and explained: "After the porcelain is burned, the kiln must be opened to check the situation." ”

"Burned?" Qi Xiang was stunned: "Why is it so fast?" ”

"Feng Gong said, you are a reborn porcelain, time can't be slow, you have to turn off the fire in advance." Zhu Shen said softly: "And you also have to be mentally prepared, this kiln porcelain ...... The picture may not be so rosy. ”

"Why?" Qi Xiang frowned, naturally unconvinced.

"Because the flame in the kiln is not the right color."

At this time, Feng Gong walked over, with a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Two days ago, when I observed the fire, I found something strange in it. The flame of the kiln fire was black and thick, and the scattered fire was very serious. This was a sign that the kiln was about to collapse, and I immediately readjusted the fire, lowered it a few times, and barely remedied it. ”

"The rescue is saved, but whether the porcelain in the kiln can be made depends on luck."

Feng Gong shook his head and said: "I estimate that this kiln porcelain, there is a lot of *** to be broken, and none of the ten remains." ”

"What?" Qi Xiang was taken aback: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"What's the use?" Feng Gong snorted and said, "If it weren't for your insistence on trying out a new glaze formula, nothing like this would have happened." ”

"Huh?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly frowned: "There's no reason, it shouldn't be wrong." ”

Zhu Shen saw that the situation was not right, and also started a round: "Qi Xiang, you don't have to be so pessimistic, you haven't opened the kiln yet, maybe your luck is good, the porcelain is not broken, and there are still a few pieces left." ”

"You're comforting?" Qi Xiang said angrily: "Why does it sound so harsh." ”

"It's normal to be loyal to the ear." Zhu Shen patted Qi Xiang's shoulder, and said insincerely: "Mourn ......"

“…… Get lost! Qi Xiang held back.

At the same time, with the efforts of several employees, the sealing bricks of the kiln were also extracted one by one. The door of the kiln, which had been closed for several days, also opened, revealing a deep tunnel.

"Whew!"

A stuffy breath poured out, and there was a faint bit of fiery breath flowing, as well as some vague smells wafting.

"It's over, it looks like it's really over."

Zhu Shen's nose moved, and he sighed lightly: "A strong smell of charcoal is endless, and it can also be known that the porcelain in the kiln will definitely not end well." ”

Qi Xiang's heart sank, and his face changed: "Didn't you say that there may be remnants." ”

"Yes, there should still be, but there are definitely not many of them...... Zhu Shen hesitated: "All in all, you don't have much hope." ”

Qi Xiang's heart was cold again, and he was no longer interested in speaking, but with a gloomy face, he walked directly into the tunnel.

"Wait for us......" Zhu Shen hurriedly followed.

From the tunnel through the combustion chamber, you came to the kiln where the sagger was kept. The dense saggers are stacked in a neat and orderly manner, like a hill.

At this time, Qi Xiang stood next to the hill, his eyes swept away, and his face turned black, as black as charcoal, brighter than ink.

Zhu Shenke didn't have Qi Xiang's eyesight, he came in with a flashlight. When I arrived at the kiln, I first raised my flashlight and shot it into a sagger with the light, and I saw a blackened mass of shards.

"Hey......"

Zhu Shen immediately sighed, and said with sincere relief: "Qi Xiang, don't be discouraged, not this time, pay attention next time, don't do any cinnabar glaze, it will definitely work." ”

Qi Xiang turned a deaf ear, suddenly reached out and picked up a piece of porcelain in a sagger, and then looked carefully. I saw that the fragments were very thin, and the surface was covered with red and black, with a little red in the black, and a hint of black in the red.

This color is like a ripe apple that is about to rot, and it is very bad.

"Why can't you burn it?" Qi Xiang's brows were like locks, and he muttered to himself, unable to understand it.

"Because the glaze you're using is purely ...... Litter! Feng Gong walked outside and snorted: "Your so-called new glaze formula is completely conjecture, not in line with the scientific basis at all, and the failure of porcelain firing is a matter of course." ”

"Young people, you must know that the formula of each glaze is gradually formed after thousands of trials and tempering. And it has developed to the point where it is very perfect, and it is difficult to change the amount of it. ”

Feng Gong said earnestly: "To be a down-to-earth person, you can't pat your head and add something not very common to the glaze, and take it for granted that this is an innovative ......."

"What's wrong?" Qi Xiang thought hard, completely regarded Feng Gong's words as wind in his ears, and didn't listen to them at all.

"Humph!"

Feng Gong noticed it, and he also felt that his kindness was directly ignored, and he was not happy. As soon as he turned his head, he called out, "You guys, move things out, and then clean up the kiln room, we will use it in a few days." ”

"Yes, Master Feng."

When several young people heard this, they immediately moved the sagger out one by one.

Qi Xiang watched from the side and found that most of the porcelain in the bowl was broken into pieces. Even if one or two are intact, the glaze is pitch black, without the slightest sense of beauty, and it is miserable.

"Let's go, go out and see ......"

Zhu Shen sighed, hooked Qi Xiang's shoulder and walked out: "Actually, what Feng Gong said also makes sense, the formula, it must be repeated trials to determine the best match." One failure is nothing, it's a big deal......"

Qi Xiang's brain was a little dazed, and he involuntarily followed Zhu Shen outside. Several employees were busy, going in and out, moving a bowl of porcelain to the open space of the workshop.

It can also be seen that Feng Gong's estimate is correct, and a bowl of porcelain can be described as ten vessels and nine remnants. The thin plates and bowls were either broken or cracked, like piles of debris.

The more Qi Xiang looked, the more gloomy his face became, with dark clouds and heavy rain.

A strange aura emanated from Qi Xiang's body, and the people next to him noticed it, and then they felt a heavy pressure permeating them, making them feel apprehensive and work harder.

Zhu Shen was also a little uneasy, and couldn't help but whisper: "Qi Xiang, this matter is not a natural disaster, nor is it **, every step of the kiln is exactly according to your intentions." With such a result now, everyone doesn't want to, you can't be angry. ”

Qi Xiang didn't speak, just squatted down, supported his cheeks with his hands, and quietly looked at the saggers stacked in the clearing.

Soon after, an employee came up trembling and whispered, "Boss, it's done, that's it." ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Shen immediately waved his hand: "You guys go down." ”

"Oh." The employee fled as quickly as he received amnesty. Everything was fine just now, but now I don't know why, as soon as he got close to Qi Xiang, he felt particularly depressed, feeling the air flowing dull breath, like the calm before the storm...... (To be continued......)
