Chapter 23: The Finishing Touch

After more than 300 pieces of court porcelain were fired, Wei Ming Dahu and other porcelain workers began to repeat the days of eating and sleeping, waking up and waiting for food.

It wasn't until there were only five days left before the end of the service period, and it wasn't until the people who came to inquire about when the imperial porcelain was fired changed from Xu Jin to Wu Dong, and finally became Zeng Fanzhi himself, who was pale, that Wei Ming slowly began to organize the kiln installation......

"Zeng Shaojiang, Wu Jiangcheng and others treat you as if they were their own!"

Looking at Zeng Fanzhi, Wu Dong and the others who wanted to clench their fists and clenched their teeth with expressions of wanting to beat people, Guo Xi gloated and said, "Isn't it good to burn it out early and let him wait for peace of mind?" You have to force people to do this - is it interesting? ”

"Surprises often come from the greatest unknown!"

Wei Ming raised his head, tugged at the non-existent beard on his chin and said, "I don't think you will understand this truth......

With an unfathomable and profound expression on his face, Guo Xi couldn't help but start to slash his teeth and clench his fists......

"I've just recovered from a serious illness, don't mess around!"

Wei Ming, who was startled, hurriedly eased the atmosphere, handed Guo Xi a swarthy ring and said: "I heard that officials below the sixth grade are not worthy of a mansion, and I don't like to be crowded in an official residence, you can think of a way to see if you can find someone to help me buy a house, it doesn't matter if it's luxurious or not, the most important thing is to be spacious!" ”

"You goose-plucking beasts!"

Seeing the golden light hidden under the dark appearance of the ring, Guo Xi grinded his back teeth and weighed the weight before saying, "Although one or two gold is a lot, you dare me to help you find a house with such a small amount of money?" More spacious? ”

"You can pay the rest of the money, and I will count you as a share of the future business!"

Wei Ming didn't feel ashamed of asking for others at all, but said with a distressed face that you took advantage of: "Hurry up and do it, otherwise if I regret it, you won't have a place to cry in the future!" ”

Although he knew that if he wanted to buy a decent mansion in Chang'an City, he would have to pay at least five taels of gold, but Guo Xi didn't have any dissatisfaction with Wei Ming's expression, but ran away directly, as if he was really afraid that Wei Ming would regret it.

After the accumulation of firing court porcelain before, the porcelain burning technology of Dahu and others has been quite rich, so there is no need for Wei Ming to worry about it at all.

But considering that this kiln porcelain is the most important batch, and it is directly for the use of saints......

Therefore, Wei Ming rarely waited for a day, and he did not leave the magnetic kiln for half a step for a day and a night.

"That's what it looks like!"

Hearing Pei Mi and the others' adding oil and vinegar, and then seeing Wei Ming's red-eyed appearance, Zeng Fanzhi and Wu Dong, who came over, symbolically praised them, and ordered the kiln to be opened in a nervous mood.

Seventy or eighty pieces of porcelain were quickly out of the kiln.

After brushing the kiln ash on the surface due to the firing process, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath......

Because these porcelains are so beautiful!

All the porcelain is as white as jade, without the slightest variety, as pure as snow, and as delicate as virgin skin......

"Congratulations to Brother Ming for his success in burning porcelain, congratulations to the young craftsman, the craftsman, and the supervisor of the department for harvesting such beautiful porcelain!"

"I'm waiting for Tao to make such beautiful porcelain this time, I'm afraid it's difficult for the saint to think about Longyan Dayue, hahaha......"

Pei Mi, Hu Lijun and others were excited, and congratulated again and again, although Zeng Fanzhi, Wu Dong, and Xu Jin could not hide their excitement, but they always felt that these porcelains were too plain, as if something was missing......

"Don't worry, the supervisor of the Young Craftsman Craftsman Department - the finishing touch you want is here!"

Wei Ming, who knew what a few people were thinking, smiled faintly, and then took out a very fine piece of sand and stone from his arms, waited for it to be taken out of the mouth of these porcelain, and rubbed it slightly......

Suddenly, a golden light was released!

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly and cautiously helped, but after a while, dozens of pieces of imperial porcelain finally revealed the true face of Lushan!

The edge of each piece of porcelain has a gold edge seal, and on the core porcelain of several sets, there are lotus petal patterns and twig patterns drawn by gold wire......

The core group of porcelain is decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns by gold wires.

"The dragon and phoenix pattern is used by the saint and the concubine, and the lotus petal pattern and the twig pattern also have to correspond to the official grade. Wei Ming reminded.

"Got it, got it!"

Zeng Fanzhi and the others waved their hands impatiently, and continued to hold these porcelains and praised: "The carcass is as white as snow, and the ornaments are many but not chaotic, and the most important thing is that the gold ornaments and these imperial porcelains are completely integrated, just like nature - it is simply ingenious, ingenious!" ”

While saying this, several people were eager to immediately send these beautiful porcelains into the palace and hand them over to the saint for seeing!

Wei Ming coughed lightly.

Zeng Fanzhi and Wu Dong immediately reacted and began to choose.

In the end, out of seventy or eighty pieces of porcelain, thirty-six of the most perfect pieces were selected, leaving only a few dozen defective pieces with slight flaws.

"I've smashed it all!"

"Smashed?"

Hearing this, everyone wondered if they had heard it wrong, and said that the remaining porcelain, even if it was slightly flawed, could still be called a peerless treasure - this had to be smashed? ”

"It's because it's a peerless treasure that it's smashed!"

Zeng Fanzhi and others said impassionedly: "Such treasures, only saints can be worthy, if you don't smash these defective products, causing them to go to the people or even Fanbang, it is not only disrespectful to the saint, but also a blasphemy against my Celestial Empire and the Tang Dynasty, in this case, we must not allow it to appear - smash, smash it for me immediately!" ”

In the sound of hammer smashing, dozens of peerless porcelain, which were originally comparable to beautiful jade, instantly turned into fragments everywhere!

Zeng Fanzhi and the others seemed to feel that they had not smashed it thoroughly enough, so they personally smashed all the slightly larger porcelain pieces into powder with a hammer, and then stopped.

"In the future, all the palace porcelain, except for the part sent to the palace, the remaining defective products will be destroyed, and no half piece will be left, this is an eternal example - if there is a dare to hide it privately, it will be severely punished!"

After a solemn resignation, Zeng Fanzhi and a few people picked out a piece of imperial porcelain and planned to take it to the prince to be handed over to the sage for inspection, and the rest was handed over to Pei Mi, Hu Lijun and others for temporary sealing, and instructed to take strict care to ensure that it was offered at any time.

"The lower officials and others must be strictly guarded to ensure that the imperial porcelain is worry-free!" Pei Mi and the others received the order.

"Good!"

Wu Dong Xu Jin nodded, then looked at Wei Ming and said with a smile: "Go back today, I will immediately jointly recommend you to the master craftsman as my supervisor, I believe it will be approved in the near future, if there is no accident, as soon as your service expires, you can take up your post, and you don't even have to go home!" ”

Perhaps because he was afraid that Wei Ming would dislike the supervisor of the agency as too young, Zeng Fanzhi did not forget to explain on the side: "With your ability, the supervisor of the Department of Jiupin is indeed lower, but because you are too young and you have no talent in the past, it is the limit of what we can do to recommend you as the supervisor of the agency, and I hope you can understand!" ”

"The young craftsman's words really make the kid ashamed!"

Wei Ming said: "A few can recommend the kid, let the kid go directly into the stream with the white body of the potter, the kid is already grateful, how dare he be dissatisfied with the official?" ”

Seeing that Wei Ming's expression was heartfelt, and it was by no means perfunctory, Zeng Fanzhi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and said some clichΓ©s such as boy, you will do a good job, and you will definitely not be able to treat you badly in the future, so they went happily.
