"It turns out that your so-called self-fired porcelain is to take the semi-finished products that have been made by others, and then send them to the kiln to burn ......"

Zhu Shen was not only contemptuous, but also very puzzled: "I really don't understand, why do you want to do this extra thing, just buy the fired porcelain?" ”

"It's different, it's not the same." Qi Xiang shook his head and said, "Moreover, I was in a hurry, so I acted like this." I really don't have the time to do it myself, so I can only save steps like this. ”

Qi Xiang's words can be regarded as half-truths and half-truths. Really, he really lacks time and can't put it off. The fake thing is that even if he is not in a hurry, he does not know how to make porcelain. So he made use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses and ordered a batch of semi-finished porcelain directly from Jingdezhen.

Although the kiln factory is also very strange, I don't understand why Qi Xiang is full of food, and he doesn't want to put the porcelain that has been burned, but he has to order these unfinished products. But in this world, the rich man is the uncle, no matter what strange requirements, as long as you pay enough real money, everything will naturally go smoothly.

As for the impoverished Qi Xiang, where did he get the money?

Hey, don't you know that banks have a financial business called usury...... Ahem, loans!

Qi Xiang uses the manor as collateral and can lend a huge amount of money at any time.

Speaking of which, he was also making a gamble. If you win the bet, everyone will be happy. If you lose the bet, the manor that you haven't bought for a long time will probably have to be handed over.

Qi Xiang sighed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Let's go, where did you put your things, take me to see." ”

"The warehouse ......," Zhu Shen replied: "Things are very fragile, and when I was carrying them just now, one of my employees was careless." It doesn't matter how many pieces are cracked, right? ”

"It's fine!" Qi Xiang shook his head, and said as he walked out, "Just let him compensate for the loss." ”

“…… Stingy! Zhu Shen was stunned and expressed contempt.

"I'm poor now, there's no way to ......" Qi Xiang replied, he is now in debt, so he naturally has to be careful and make a living.

Zhu Shen naturally didn't believe it, and felt that Qi Xiang was joking. But it is not clear that this is the truth.

When the two came to the warehouse, they saw that the plain porcelain was stacked on top of each other, like a hill. Rough estimates. There are at least a few thousand pieces of these plain porcelains.

Each piece of plain porcelain is an unglazed astringent product, or a plate, or a cup, or a saucer, or a cup, anyway, they are all small and exquisite. The carcass is very thin and transparent.

“…… Are you really going to burn these things? ”

Zhu Shen couldn't hold back his words. couldn't help but speak: "These are thin porcelain, you can't burn them indiscriminately without experience." If the heat is not in place. The porcelain of a kiln is estimated to be destroyed. ”

Whether ceramics are good or not often depends on a fire. So in the minds of the world. Ceramics is actually the art of fire. A crude lump of mud was reborn in the furnace and was given a new lease of life.

But how to control the fire. And that's the key. The fire is blazing, the temperature is high, and the ceramics may be burned. The fire is weak, the temperature is low, and the desired effect cannot be achieved.

Zhu Shen often burns pottery, and after watching the wind and fire for a long time, he naturally knows the doorway.

"It's okay, it's a big deal to ask an experienced pile master to help when the time comes." Qi Xiang said that he wanted to burn the kiln, so he naturally investigated the process first. If you don't understand it, you can spend money to hire someone.

"Tsk......"

Zhu Shen didn't understand it even more, and was puzzled: "It's all someone else, so what are you tossing around?" ”

"I must have my own purpose, you don't have to worry about it." Qi Xiang waved his hand and said, "Put the things here for you first, help me keep a closer look, don't break them." ”

"By the way......" Qi Xiang paused, turned around and asked, "How many of your employees know how to glaze?" ”

"Understand, this is a basic skill, okay, even I understand it." Zhu Shen hesitated: "Do you want them to help you glaze?" ”

"Yes......" Qi Xiang nodded and said: "After applying the glaze, you can directly open the kiln and burn." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Shen's heart moved, and asked, "What about your glaze, do you buy it now, or do you match it yourself?" ”

I have to say that Zhu Shen is also more sensitive, and he grasped the key to the matter at once.

If porcelain burning is the art of fire, then the degeneration of ceramics is a combination of water and fire. Needless to say, fire is high temperature, and the effect of water is manifested in the glaze.

Glaze, which is a thin layer of colorless or colored glassy covering the surface of ceramic products, is a great invention of the ancients, from the most primitive pottery makeup clay to the clean and crystalline glaze, which is the process of technology accumulation and gradual change.

There is an extra layer of glaze on the ceramic, which is not only beautiful, but also plays a protective role, easy to wash, not easy to be eroded by dust and filth, and has strong practical functions.

Therefore, from the moment of the birth of glaze, it is destined to be popular. After thousands of years, the painstaking research of ancient craftsmen has become more and more colorful in the use of glaze, reaching its peak.

Overglaze color, underglaze color, glaze red, open piece, bucket color, etc., can be described as full of tricks, too many to mention.

"Haha, this ......"

At the same time, Qi Xiang was also surprised by Zhu Shen's sharp thinking, so he naturally wanted to cover it up: "It's just glaze, isn't it all the same?" ”

"How can it be the same?" Zhu Shen frowned and said, "Qi Xiang, what you said is too layman. Either you really don't understand, or you're fooling me. ”

"What kind of ceramic, what kind of glaze, this is common sense. It's like a person's clothes, they must fit. When sewing clothes, what kind of cloth to use and what style to use should have a holistic consideration. ”

Zhu Shen talked eloquently: "To glaze ceramic products, we should also do some careful research to make the glaze adapt to the requirements of the ceramic body. Among them, the proper coordination of the expansion coefficient of the glaze and the billet is a necessary condition for firing ceramics. ”

"If the coefficient of expansion of the glaze is less than that of the billet, the peeling of the glaze layer occurs when cooling. If the expansion coefficient of the glaze is greater than that of the billet, the glaze layer will crack when cooling, and even destroy the finished ceramic product. ”

Zhu Shen had the demeanor of an expert, and sneered: "You are reborn porcelain, and you are destined to only apply a thin layer of glaze." If a thick layer of glaze is attached, it will definitely be broken when the kiln is fired. ”

“…… Awesome. Qi Xiang exclaimed: "I can't see it, you really learned by heart." ”

"Shift the subject less." Zhu Shen said shrewdly: "Are you researching a new glaze?" ”

"Serve!" Qi Xiang said sincerely: "You can guess it all like this." ”

"There's no guessing at all, okay?" Zhu Shen said smugly: "After a little analysis, you can draw conclusions." It's just that I don't understand that the ceramic research institute and major kiln factories study new glaze squares and improve core competitiveness, which is the duty, you are a layman, why are you playing this? ”

"I suddenly got interested, and I was going to give it a try." Qi Xiang said vaguely: "You just treat me as a whim, learn from your rich second generation and spend a lot of money, and lose once." ”

"What loser?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind, Qi Xiang and the others looked back, only to see Feng Gong walking into the warehouse from outside, and they were also very surprised to see the rough plain porcelain in the warehouse.

"These things...... Where did it come from? Feng Gong was puzzled: "You did it?" ”

A few young people next to him shook their heads suddenly, they also had self-knowledge, and they knew very well that with their skills, it was okay to make ordinary pottery, and they would definitely not be able to do fine porcelain like reborn porcelain.

"Feng Gong, this is what my friend bought."

At this time, Zhu Shen explained: "He wants to verify the formula of some new glazes, and plans to test the porcelain himself." ”

"Huh?"

When Feng Gong heard this, his eyes swept over Qi Xiang, his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered: "Nonsense!" Mess around! ”

Drop a word, and he will leave without giving face.

Perhaps in his eyes, Zhu Shen's friends are the likes of gentlemen. Treating such a serious matter as porcelain burning as a game to have fun made him unacceptable.

Out of sight is pure, and he naturally does not want to stay.

"Ahem......"

Zhu Shen seemed to have become accustomed to it, and twisted his head to explain: "Feng Gong is this temperament, it seems to be a little arrogant, mainly because he is not familiar with you, don't mind." ”

"I'm not that stingy." Qi Xiang waved his hand and said, "That's it for today, I'll go back and mix the glaze, and come back tomorrow." ”

"Whatever you ......" Zhu Shen didn't care: "When you come, just make a phone call." ”

"Good!"

Qi Xiang is gone, the wind is in a hurry, he comes in a hurry, and he goes in a hurry. The next morning, he drove over with a large tank.

Zhu Shen also came along, and when he asked someone to help carry the vat, he was also quite curious: "What kind of glaze are these?" ”

"It's the glaze of porcelain, at most, some special ingredients are added, and there should be nothing special in essence." Qi Xiang smiled and said: "The main raw materials are feldspar, quartz, talc, kaolin......"

"You're." Zhu Shen said angrily: "If you don't say it, forget it, I don't know it yet." ”

That being said, when several employees lifted the cylinder down and opened the cylinder head, Zhu Shen couldn't help but lean over to watch. At first glance, he was stunned and stunned.

"You glaze...... Why is it red? ”

Zhu Shen was very puzzled, he opened his eyes and looked carefully, only to see that the jar was turbid milk, and the background color was turbid and white, which was no different from normal glaze. But between the turbid white, there is a hint of red and blood-like pigment.

Red and white are mixed, distinct, very peculiar.

"You know, there's a glaze of this color?" Zhu Shen was not sure, and turned back to ask a group of employees.

"Huh?"

Several employees looked at it and shook their heads. They are also skilled in the ceramic industry, senior workers, even if the craftsmanship is not very smart, but the knowledge is not bad. However, when they saw the red and white glaze in front of them, they couldn't make out it.

Although the recipe of the glaze, after years of development, has been thousands and intricate. But everything is the same, and the basic ingredients of the glaze are still the same.

Even if it is a color in the kiln and a thousand colors out of the kiln, it is nothing more than the difference between more and less of a certain element...... (To be continued.) (。 ))
