Chapter 669: Opening the Kiln
Then, after waiting for two more days and cooling the kiln evenly, Wen Lao took Chen Yi into the kiln and took out the porcelain they had made two days ago from the sagger.
At this moment, there is still some residual warmth in the kiln, which makes people feel warm, after the sagger is opened, the beautiful porcelain inside is suddenly revealed, and the inconspicuous clay porcelain blank has now become a piece of warm and bright porcelain.
Touching each piece of porcelain, Chen Yi couldn't help but show a sense of accomplishment on his face, because these porcelains were made by him, and when they were fired, he also added a lot of firewood to them under Ge Dashan's guidance.
In the kiln, the pieces of porcelain were taken out of the sagger, and then Wen Laoxian and Chen Yi talked about some defects of their porcelain, as well as the points that need to be paid attention to when firing.
After that, he came to other positions, so that Chen Yi fully combined with the explanation before firing, the location of the porcelain in the kiln, and the temperature, will have some impact on the porcelain.
In the end, all the porcelain was taken out of the sagger and put outside, and Wen Lao walked around in front of each piece of porcelain to pick out some fine and qualified porcelain.
Soon, the results came out, this kiln porcelain is a total of one hundred and fifty-three pieces, and the qualified finished products have reached one hundred and seven, and the finished product rate is as high as 70 percent, this kind of finished product rate, not to mention in Jingdezhen, even in China, is second to none.
Now in the Chinese firewood kiln, the success rate of very good porcelain masters is only 50%, and Wen Lao can reach 70%, which can be said to be a miracle.
In seeing such a high yield of porcelain. The crowd applauded. One kiln with one hundred and fifty-three pieces of porcelain. One hundred and seven pieces are qualified, which can already make the game of burning money in the wood-burning kiln become profitable.
Looking at the porcelain he made, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, he made a total of five pieces of porcelain a few days ago, but two of them were qualified, and the other three were burned. It became an unqualified utensil.
Because in the firewood kiln, there are many uncontrollable factors, even with the experience of Wen Lao and Ge Dashan, it cannot be completely avoided, so it is inevitable that there will be substandard products.
And the glaze of those two qualified porcelains can be said to be different from the glaze painted by Chen Yi before. However, it is even more beautiful. Even if two pieces of porcelain are exactly the same, when they enter the wood-fired kiln, they will produce different things.
With his ability to identify, he felt that one of his two pieces of porcelain should be worth more than three or four thousand pieces, and the quality of the other piece fired was better, almost reaching nearly five or six thousand.
He has only been studying porcelain for more than ten days now, and it is not easy to make a piece of porcelain worth five or six thousand, which is still relying on his painting skills and some understanding of porcelain painting, even Wen Lao is also a great marvel at his learning ability.
During this time, he also knew the difficulty of porcelain painting, and also understood why the system set this one-value task, but he would not give up, and he would definitely produce some high-value porcelain within a month.
After all, his two pieces of porcelain are only qualified products, not the best products in the finished porcelain, in terms of one hundred and seven qualified products in the kiln of Wen Lao, the number of fine porcelain is about twenty, compared with one hundred and seven pieces of porcelain, the fine rate is nearly twenty.
100 pieces of porcelain, there are 20 pieces of fine products, which is already a very high quality rate, in the eyes of other wood-fired kiln factories, if the yield of a kiln porcelain, can have 20 percent, it is already very good.
They are all small workshops, there is no experienced porcelain master like Wen Lao or Ge Dashan, and the yield of the porcelain fired is also very low, and now the rate of fine porcelain of Wen Lao has reached almost 20%.
In the kiln factory, many people who came to visit also showed amazement on their faces, and secretly praised this Wen Lao as the most famous porcelain restoration and zuò master in China.
There are also some friends who are familiar with Wen Lao, looking at their favorite porcelain beside them, greeting Wen Lao, and preparing to let Wen Lao keep it for himself.
"Brother Wen, your old underglaze colorful porcelain skills are getting better and better, just like a beautiful picture, especially this landscape vase, it is simply wonderful, I don't know if it can be left to me." At this time, an old man next to him looked at one of the vases and said with a smile.
Chen Yi smiled slightly, the porcelain made by Wen Lao is not just some colored porcelain, blue and white porcelain and the like are also stored in zài, and the kiln factory will fire a batch of white glazed porcelain every few days to make zuò glazed porcelain.
In the case of the vase that the old man said, it should belong to the fine of the fine porcelain in this batch of porcelain, which Wen Lao spent a few days carefully making.
With the fame of Wen Lao, coupled with the quality of this porcelain, the value is probably far more than one million.
"Hehe, old man Zhang, your eyesight is very good, but it's not time for you to pick, let's smash these unqualified ones first." Hearing the old man's words, Old Man Wen smiled, pointed to the dozens of unqualified porcelain next to him with his cane and said.
At this time, a middle-aged man couldn't help but say: "Old Wen, how about you sell these unqualified porcelains to me, I will accept them all." "Even if these are unqualified porcelain, some glaze problems, and some are burned, they still have great value, not to mention the name of Wen Lao Pin Porcelain.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, some people who were familiar with Old Man Wen next to him all smiled, "Big brother, you are new, Brother Wen's porcelain, sold outside, will definitely be guaranteed to be qualified, this is the reason why his porcelain is so popular, these unqualified ones are broken in front of everyone, if you want to flow out, it is impossible." ”
Wen Lao smiled, "These unqualified porcelain, flowing out for porcelain culture, there is no benefit, the role of porcelain is to carry the culture, and appreciate the use, if there is a defect, it is undoubtedly lost these meanings, so, other people's kiln production of substandard products, may be cheap to sell to others, but in my kiln, unqualified utensils, will be broken." ”
The middle-aged man nodded suddenly, looking at these porcelains with some pity, "Old Wen, I understand, thank you for your advice." ”
Then, Wen Lao gestured to Ge Dashan, and Ge Dashan stood up and said to everyone: "Okay, the next thing is to break these unqualified porcelains in a special area, if you want to experience it, you can also take a piece of porcelain and smash it with us." ”
Hearing Ge Dashan's words, many people in the crowd immediately raised their hands, wanting to experience what it was like to smash porcelain.
Chen Yi picked up his three failed products, followed the crowd, and came to a special pool, where these failed porcelains were either broken on the wall of the pool, or thrown directly into the pool.
Now in the pool, there are already a lot of broken porcelain, and it looks like there are countless fragments, which is very spectacular.
Then Wen Lao and several familiar porcelain masters selected the best one in this batch of porcelain as the kiln leader, and this best porcelain was naturally the landscape vase that the old man had fancied before.
After that, Wen Lao smiled at everyone, "Thank you for coming to help this kiln, including the old man's friends, there are also friends who don't know, in order to thank you, I will select three people in each of the two categories of people, you can get the right of first refusal to buy this porcelain, as for other friends, you need to go to my shop pù to buy, of course, this kiln Kui can not be sold, it needs to be collected in the treasure room of our kiln factory." ”
Wen Lao's shop pù is not only opened by himself, but also some shops specializing in contemporary fine porcelain, and he also has some agreements with these shops to provide some porcelain for them to sell every time the kiln is opened.
After all, no matter how high the level of Wen Lao was, he could not spare the energy to open the shop all over the country, but porcelain dealers everywhere could do this.
Hearing Wen Lao's words, some newcomers couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces, the porcelain produced by Wen Lao's porcelain zhai, each of which is a qualified product that has undergone strict identification, the most precious of which is Wen Lao's own porcelain made zuò, of course, some other masters make zuò is also very good, but in terms of value, it is by no means as famous as Wen Lao.
Being able to have the right to choose a preferred choice means that they can buy porcelain made by Wen Lao himself directly here.
And some of Wen Lao's friends next to him also smiled, and they also had some expectations in their hearts, as Wen Lao's friends, they also knew each other, and they had already agreed on the list of each purchase and handed it to Wen Lao.
After that, Wen Lao directly selected three of his friends, and then randomly selected three strangers, and announced that they had obtained the right of first refusal to buy porcelain this time, and each of them could only choose one piece.
After his words fell, these six people couldn't wait to come to the more than 100 pieces of porcelain and began to select.
The three strangers went straight to Wen Lao's fine porcelain, while the other three friends looked at each piece of porcelain unhurriedly.
Suddenly, an old man saw two pieces of porcelain, and after carefully admiring them, he suddenly asked Wen Lao with some surprise: "Brother Wen, the fine brush painting of these two pieces of porcelain is very exquisite, although it seems that some places are not handled very well, but with the lifelike flower and bird painting, it is also a good thing, I don't look like the techniques of those masters in your porcelain shop, did you invite another master." ”
"Haha, old man Zhang, your eyesight is really sharp, take a closer look at the seal below, and you will know who this master is." Wen Lao couldn't help but smile. (To be continued......)
