Su Chen planned to stay in the Baijia porcelain manor outside the city for a period of time, personally immersed himself in it, carefully investigated, and familiarized himself with the characteristics of the kiln and kiln furniture, the requirements of several time periods of porcelain fire temperature, how to prepare the glaze, and the identification of porcelain clay, so as to make suitable suggestions.

Bai Susu felt a little surprised when she saw him so serious and asked to stay in the manor, and then she felt some feelings in her heart, she felt that Su Chen really wanted to help her by doing this.

"Su Chen......" Bai Susu originally had a cold and arrogant personality, but after being in contact with Su Chen for a long time, unconsciously, there have been some changes, and it seems that he is not so cold.

"What's wrong?" Su Chen looked at her as if she wanted to speak and stopped.

"Thank you!" Bai Susu has always been very strong, but at this time, his words are very gentle and full of gratitude.

Because she knows very well that as long as Su Chen writes poems and songs, as long as he saves people, he can become famous and gain fame and fortune, and he doesn't need to learn the art of firing porcelain from the craftsman in person to lower his identity, he did this entirely because he asked him to come over to help!

Recently, Su Yixuan, who has been praised as "the first genius in Jiangzuo" by Runzhou scholars, fired porcelain in the porcelain kiln of the Bai family, and I am afraid that no one will believe it!

is such a talent, willing to bend her waist for her, Bai Susu suddenly understood in her heart, what does this mean!

With a bit of sincerity, gratitude, and appreciation in her eyes, she looked at Su Chen's face, thinking that if it weren't for the fact that she was shouldering the heavy responsibility of the family, if it weren't for the fact that the Bai family needed someone to take care of it, she really should give up the power of the family and find a man who was so responsible and willing to give up her identity as a talented person for her life.

Bai Susu was a little excited in her heart at this time, what she was worried about was actually a little different from Su Chen'....... thoughts!

Su Chen just felt that his friend needed help, and he still needed to cooperate with her later, plus he was also interested in porcelain burning, if he learned the craft, maybe he could assist himself in firing glazeware to make a lot of money, and he chose to stay with his curiosity about new things and his yearning for money.

As for giving up his identity as a genius and bending his waist to learn the crafts of craftsmen, he really didn't think there was anything, he wasn't a real genius in the first place!

It's just that the hierarchical concept of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" is deep-rooted, and the identity of a scholar is too heavy in the eyes of the world in this era, so although he simply wants to learn the craft, in the eyes of Bai Susu, this is already giving up the noble identity of a scholar, bending his waist to pay so much for her, and his heart is moved.

Su Chen went with the flow and said: "It's all friends, promise to contribute, you can't be passive and slack off, go through the motions and finish things, you don't have to be too guilty, when the time comes, cooperate and share the account, don't backlog my profits, pay attention to integrity." ”

Bai Susu was still a little moved, but when he heard these words, he almost laughed angrily, glanced at him and said, "I know, I won't treat you badly!" ”

Su Chen smiled, after getting along for a long time, he believed more and more in Bai Susu's character, basically did what he said, kept his promises, and was very honest.

Of course, at night, Su Chen lived in the Bai family's porcelain kiln manor, where there was a pavilion house to sleep in, and Bai Susu did not return to the city and stayed with him.

At night, the candlelight was bright, Su Chen sat at the desk, picked up a pen to write and paint, and wrote down the experience and shortcomings of firing white porcelain and celadon by himself today.

Familiar with the steps of making white porcelain with clay, molding, glaze, and firing, he asked the craftsman to fire two furnaces of celadon in the afternoon, made a process comparison, and had an intuitive impression.

Celadon is a kind of glaze with iron as a coloring agent on the ligand, and it is blue-green or blue-yellow after being fired at high temperatures.

Ding's porcelain-making technology originates from the "secret color" characteristics of the kiln, which is the best color of the celadon in the kiln, the firing of this cyan glaze, requires superb technology and experience, the porcelain blank must be strictly controlled temperature and ventilation when it is fired to a certain temperature, so that the air in the kiln generates some carbon monoxide, and a small amount of iron in the glaze can be reduced to ferrous oxide, so as to control the azure glaze, if the operation is not careful, it is possible to produce yellow or black glaze, changing the quality.

The Tang Dynasty writer Tortoise Meng has a sentence in "The Secret Color of Yue Ware": "The more the kiln opens in the nine autumn wind and dew, and the more the kiln opens, and the thousand peaks and green colors are won", it has become a famous sentence of Yong celadon.

The difference between white porcelain and celadon lies in whether the raw material contains iron, and the firing method is reducing flame or oxidation flame, which controls the iron content in the tire and glaze, and excludes the interference of iron in color, so that white porcelain can be fired "like snow like silver". In the history of porcelain, the emergence of white porcelain marks a qualitative leap in the porcelain industry, making porcelain decoration techniques brand new, and is the basis for the Yuan and Ming dynasties from blue and white to colorful porcelain painting techniques.

Su Chen sat there, learning more about the two kinds of porcelain, and at the same time he was thinking about how to start with the green and white porcelain that fused the two kinds of porcelain.

At this time, the door rang, and Bai Susu personally walked into the house with a tea tray.

Bai Susu glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and asked softly, "Su Chen, you've been busy all day, don't you rest early?" ”

Su Chen shook his head and said: "The rough work that I am busy with during the day is just practice, and if you really want to find a way, you also need to extract theory from practice." ”

"What are you drawing?" Bai Susu looked at the rice paper on the table with many strange shapes drawn.

Su Chen explained with a smile: "This is the kiln and heating tool, I decided to improve it, use the double fire to increase the area of the fire net, and the double fire port takes turns to add firewood, this heating method is more agile and effective to control the fire temperature!" ”

Bai Susu was a little incomprehensible, and the jade hand took out a teapot, a teacup and a few pastries and put them on his crime.

"Here, have a cup of tea and some pastries!"

Su Chen looked at the green tea in the white porcelain teacup, thought of a poem by Yuan Zhen, and chanted softly: "Carved Jing jade cup, bake through the inner mound bottle." ”

He took the teacup, carefully observed, and did not drink tea immediately, looking at the white porcelain cup semi-transparent in a warm tone, the porcelain piece is smooth, white as snow, the degree of porcelain gives people a feeling of unity of fetal glaze, inside and outside are inseparable, it can be seen that the quality of fine white porcelain is excellent.

"Su Su, I plan to live here for a while, Ming'er, you can go back to the city first, and come back to pick me up in a few days."

Bai Susu's expression was complicated, and he nodded: "That's hard for you." ”

"It's not hard, it's fun to study." Su Chen smiled, showing a sunny smile, as kind and hearty as a big boy.

Bai Susu looked at his smile, and there was a warmth in his heart, and he also smiled.

Su Chen was drinking tea and eating pastries, and Bai Susu sat on the side, looking at him quietly.

After a while, Su Chen was a little unnatural by her, her eyes met the eyes of the stunning beauty, and she handed out a piece of pastry and said, "Can you eat some?" ”

Bai Susu shook his head: "My daughter's family eats a lot at night, and it is easy to grow fat." ”

Su Chen smiled and said, "Look at you're thin, not fat at all, come, open your mouth!" He picked up a piece of pine cake and shoved it into her mouth.

Bai Susu was stunned, she could only open her mouth and bite off most of it, with a hint of anger, leaning back, looking a little embarrassed, and glanced at him, she was so big, no man had ever fed her, including her father and grandfather, because the big families were served by nurses and maids.

Su Chen looked at her strange look, it was rare to see such a naïve and cute side of Miss Bai, he couldn't help laughing, and got carried away, casually put the pastry she had bitten into his mouth and ate it directly.

When Bai Susu saw this scene, her cheeks turned crimson in an instant, and she was delicate.
