There is nothing to do at home, Jin San tinkered with some things that he is interested in, through time retrospect, Jin San has learned about the historical inheritance of the eggshell pottery goblet, and has seen thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow, of course, there are many things in it that interest him.

The four-eyed monkey is very busy these days, and many trivial things, Jin San handed over all of them to him, such as buying a computer, and some other things, Jin San saw that he had a soft spot for buying things, and all the procurement affairs surnamed Suo were handed over to him.

After a few days of hurrying, a lot of things were found, especially the pottery equipment that Jin San needed, Jin San wanted to burn black pottery, and he originally planned to repair and use the kiln in the village, but as soon as he said his thoughts, he was ridiculed by the four-eyed monkey.

In the end, he bought an electric kiln from the city, and by the way, he even bought a lot of things such as a blank machine, a mud trigger, and clay.

If Jin San didn't buy his equipment, these things could only be put in the warehouse to get moldy, originally Jin San only needed an electric kiln and a blank drawing machine, but the four-eyed monkey got him a full set of equipment, and it only cost a total of 80,000 yuan.

If you buy a new electric kiln, this electric kiln alone will cost more than 80,000 yuan, and the temperature of this electric kiln can reach 2,000 degrees, and you can fire porcelain, let alone pottery.

He dug up the river mud from a small river in the west of the village, and according to the process introduced in some of the pictures he obtained, he first processed the river mud, and then got the qualified river mud for making black pottery, and then he began to make blanks.

The firing temperature of black pottery is about 1000 degrees, and there are three kinds of black pottery, fine mud, mud and sand, among which the production level of fine mud thin-walled black pottery is the highest, and it has the reputation of "black as lacquer, thin as paper".

What Jin San found was fine mud, he wanted to make eggshell pottery, but it was not easy to find this kind of river mud, but things were often like this, it was because Jin San knew that he had this kind of river mud in his village, so he would buy an eggshell pottery high-handled cup, and planned to burn eggshell pottery.

In the period of Beixin culture, the Dongyi people have begun to make pottery, and in the period of Dawenkou-Longshan culture, they have comprehensively and accurately mastered a series of extremely complex processes such as clay selection, molding, and firing, and have produced a variety of pottery with great artistic beauty.

In particular, the eggshell pottery that appeared in this period was as thin as paper, as bright as a mirror, and as black as lacquer, which was exquisitely made and highly skilled, and was in a leading position in the entire Chinese prehistoric culture.

In addition to the use of natural clay, the Dongyi people also used kaolin as a raw material, and once fired a small amount of pottery that was very white on the outside and inside, making the first attempt for the emergence of primitive porcelain.

The intricate shape of the eggshell pottery high-handled cup, divided into several parts to complete, with the current Jin San's craftsmanship, it must not be done well, Suo surnamed Jin San is just the simplest pottery bowl.

In addition to eating and practicing every day, he is playing with mud, not only does he play, but he also pulls the two brothers who are interested in this, the Golden Tiger and the Golden Scale, and let them constantly walk around a drawing machine every day.

Jin San's hands are flexible and his sense is keen, perhaps he has reached the realm of the Three Flowers Gathering the Top Five Qi Dynasty, which has significantly improved his learning or memory, which makes him more handy in making paper-thin pottery bowls.

He controls the speed of the drawing machine, but for three days, he has made a pottery bowl as thin as paper, and now he only needs to burn the paper once, to see the effect of burning the paper, as long as the clay is qualified, he believes that it is not difficult to fire the eggshell pottery bowl.

Wait to be able to control the thickness of the clay, with Jin San's keen sense, a delicate pottery bowl appeared in his hands, this kind of black pottery clay after washing, wheel system, the thickness of the tire wall is only 0.5-1 mm, and then polished, fired into pitch black and bright, only to have the "eggshell pottery" said.

Many of them have amazing skills in their hands, and if Jin San hadn't seen the process of firing black pottery handed down from ancient times, he would never have been able to fire eggshell pottery.

The video he got not only contains the entire pottery-making process, but also some dialogues in it, which have been figured out by him, because in the picture he saw, there is a picture of an old potter taking his apprentice.

Through watching the video over and over again, it's like an old artist in ancient times who is personally teaching Jin San to burn eggshell pottery, if he can't learn it, then he's really stupid.

More than 4,000 years ago, the eggshell pottery was polished with plain surface the most, and there were fewer ornaments, and there were several kinds of string patterns, scratches, and perforations.

The black pottery adopts the wheel system, the shape of the vessel is round and neat, the shape is beautiful, the decoration is exquisite, and it has the artistic characteristics of "black, thin, light, and new".

Jin San tried to use the electric kiln to fire a few times, but the effect is not good, every time the kiln is opened, Jin San is looking forward to very, can be fired out of the eggshell pottery, in addition to the shape and the picture of the eggshell pottery bowl is the same, the luster and color is far from the same.

It was fired three times in a row, each time Jin San was very attentive, and later the pottery bowl he made was engraved with exquisite ornamentation, and the eggshell pottery bowl fired out finally was also very beautiful, and it also reached the realm of thin as paper, but it could not reach black as lacquer.

In the end, Jin San could only attribute the failure to the clay, except for this, he really didn't know what was wrong, the process, the type, which one he did according to the video, fired more than a dozen times in a row, each time it was the same black, but he couldn't beat the black lacquer of the eggshell pottery high-handled cup he bought.

The four-eyed monkey walked into Jin San's bedroom, and saw Jin San sighing there, and saw the exquisite little bowl on the table, which was also engraved with these patterns, which looked very beautiful.

The four-eyed monkey picked it up, feeling as if it had no weight, and he sighed: "It's so beautiful, it's so thin, boss, how did you do it?" Where did you learn this skill? Couldn't it have been learned from prison as well? ”

"From here, from anywhere."

"In the movies? Boss, you're a genius. ”

The four-eyed monkey saw these movies a few days ago, but he couldn't understand what the people on them said at all, and the picture was incoherent, and the picture quality was not good, so he just watched a few paragraphs and found that it was not interesting, so he didn't pay attention.

Now I heard that Jin San actually learned to make pottery bowls from these old movies, the price of such a small pottery bowl is not cheap, but he knows that the goblet that Jin San bought cost 16,000 yuan, if he can do it, then what else does he raise grasshoppers for, just burn this thing, don't need more every day, just make ten or eight.

Thinking of this, the four-eyed monkey looked at the picture in the computer seriously, and after looking at it for a while, the four-eyed monkey said suspiciously: "Boss, aren't you very successful in firing?" ”

"Look at the colors."

"Nothing different, huh?"

"Are you colorblind? It's as black as paint, do you think I'm like black paint? ”

"Huh? It's true, you look at the small bowl after the kiln, it's really like paint, but what are those people doing so troublesomely, every time they open the kiln, they actually have to drench water, but why are they so slow, don't they want to be lazy? ”

"Open a kiln? Drenched? ”

Jin San carefully watched the whole kiln opening process, drenching water is also a technique?

Jin San quickly found out the reason, black pottery is formed by slowly adding water from the top of the kiln to extinguish the charcoal and produce thick smoke in the last stage of firing.

No wonder the color of the black pottery he fired is not as good as that fired by the ancients, it turns out that this is the reason.

Black pottery, perhaps because its process is too cumbersome and complicated, or the spread area is too small, resulting in the loss of this technology.

Historically, black pottery, which is more advanced than the firing technology of painted pottery, appeared after the painted pottery, and the complex and advanced production process of black pottery.

At that time, the ancestors of the museum pottery have mastered the advanced sealing kiln technology, so that the smoke in the kiln, through the scientific carburizing principle, the carbon particles in the smoke penetrate into the body and appear black, the black pottery production process must be through the "edification" of the finished product, the process of becoming a surname.

The original clay used to fire black pottery is the gift of the Yellow River, and the deposition of a large number of high-quality clay in the Yellow River has laid the foundation for the prosperity of the pottery industry in the museum.

Now the river mud used by Wang Yuan should be no worse than the Yellow River mud, as long as the kiln is improved.

Just do it, according to the ancient memory of the eggshell pottery goblet, Jin San spent a day to build a small kiln on the east side of the ancestral house, this kiln was completely built according to the ancient kiln, but it was reduced a lot by Jin San.

When Jin San built the kiln, the four-eyed monkey had already bought a lot of charcoal, this time Jin San made more than a dozen pottery bowls, two eggshell pottery cups, and some things like teapots, this thing Jin San has only seen in the video, and I don't know what to call it in modern times, because it is not easy to do, Jin San just experimented with this and made one.

It took a day of hard work to put charcoal, light the fire, seal the kiln, open the kiln, and when he took out the exquisite eggshell pottery, Jin San was relieved.

The first thing he took out was the two eggshell pottery goblets, compared with the real thing, except that there was no historical vicissitudes, and other places were the same.

Several pieces of black pottery knock have the sound of jade, the beauty of rich ink jade, the light of bronze, the workmanship is delicate and elegant, the shape and meaning are rich and unified, simple and elegant, strange and luxurious, and it is not ordinary at a glance.

"Boss, can this thing be sold?"

"Sell?" Jin San didn't react, and said subconsciously.

"yes, why don't we sell this?"

"Sell, how can it not be sold, but it is not sold like this, you see what is the difference between these two high-handled cups and the one we bought."

"Different? It's no different, except for the two new points we have newly fired, there is no difference. ”

"Four-eyed monkey, are you okay? Isn't that any different? The difference is that the two of us are too new, and new things are not worth much. ”
