"I think they just can't afford to lose." The official kiln steward returned to his area and said unwillingly.

It's no wonder he said this, the last time the competition was three years ago, the kiln lost the game and lost the kaolin, the kiln has not been able to raise its head in front of the official kiln, and now the date of the competition is approaching, but it has become bold.

The day before the competition, Jingdezhen suddenly became lively, and many experts, judges, orderers, and a large number of ceramic enthusiasts came from other places in the past two days.

The government announced the format of the competition.

The competition is divided into three rounds, the first round of the government and the private two families each sent three people to compete, by the imperial porcelain supervision of the question, three games and two wins.

In the second round of treasure appreciation, the collection of folk porcelain boutiques, the two teams choose treasure collectors, mutual selection rules, 10 places for each team, and the one with the highest total price wins.

In the third round of high imitation, the official kiln and the private kiln each imitated a porcelain heavy weapon, and the one with the highest number of votes won.

On the same day, the first round of competitions was announced, which were to make blue and white porcelain, pastel and glaze red, and each person could only participate in one of the competitions.

Yu Shinian gathered the kiln owners of various families together to discuss the next competition.

The beauty drunk made of copper red glaze has been the unique formula of Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln in recent years, and the last time they lost in this key showdown, Yu Shinian has studied the formula for making beauty drunk in recent years, so he can be competent as the finale of the first round.

The blue and white porcelain was taken over by another kiln owner who specialized in making blue and white flowers, and the colorful blue and white peony jars made by his family are a must in Jingdezhen.

There is still a pastel left but no one dares to fight, because pastel is still in the initial stage of development in Jingdezhen at that time, everything is trying, I heard that there are several masters of making pastel in the imperial kiln, but there are few people in the kiln, and pastel needs talent too much.

In the first round, there was a problem, and everyone was silent, could it be that this year's folk kiln is over again?

"I think of a person who wants to win this game unless he invites my senior sister." Yu Shinian's son stood aside, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.

"Yes, with Jun'er's talent, it should be no problem to win this game." Yu Shinian listened to his son's words and said with his hand on his beard.

The discussion was set, and Yu Shinian returned to the mansion and was about to send his son to invite his proud disciple, when a woman walked in with a smile outside the door.

"Master!"

"Jun'er, I was about to invite you, why did you come by yourself?" Yu Shinian said happily.

"Senior sister, I miss you so much." Yu Shinian's son said that he was about to go over to hug his senior sister, but he was pushed away by the other party on the head.

Kang Damao and the others also finished picking the soil at this time, and entered the Yu Mansion dirty, and happened to see this senior sister, all of whom were standing in place.

"Luo Jun!" Kang Damao muttered to himself.

Shen Luojun turned out to be the senior sister, and the other three were also stunned.

It turned out that in addition to his own son, Yu Shinian accepted a closed female disciple a few years ago, that is, Shen Luojun, who was talented in porcelain.

Shen Luojun also saw Kang Damao, and when she saw his embarrassed appearance covered in mud, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, a hundred flowers bloomed, and the whole house was infected by her smile, and people were in a much better mood.

Shen Luojun also wondered in his heart, how could Kang Damao appear in the Yu family, he should take care of his "Kang Jing Shengshi" in Zhenjiang Mansion.

In fact, she had already guessed that the fall of the Shen family was Kang Damao's revenge, she came to Jingdezhen this time to get goods from Jingdezhen, and before Kang Damao's business was suddenly terminated, she wrote to Yu Shinian to ask her master to help treat Kang Damao.

I didn't expect this guy to come to the door by himself now, she really didn't give up, she couldn't see through it and pretended not to know Kang Damao's purpose, the most important thing now is to compete, first help Minyao get through the difficulties in front of him and then settle the account.

"Master, on the way here, I have already heard about this competition with the Imperial Kiln, don't worry, Master, leave the pastel to me, I have confidence." Shen Luojun didn't say much to Kang Damao, she walked up to the master and said confidently.

Yu Shinian was very happy to hear the words of his proud apprentice, and immediately asked the kitchen to cook a few good dishes to entertain Shen Luojun.

Of course, Kang Damao and his people now belong to the inferior coolies in the town kiln, and they can only hide in the side room and eat chaff like other workers, and several people eat with a stomach.

The competition is the beginning, on the first day of Jingdezhen thousands of empty alleys, everyone rushed to the game site, know how to watch the doorway, do not know how to watch the lively.

In the first blue and white porcelain competition, the kiln owner and the imperial kiln contestants were in different porcelain production sites for the competition, they from the very beginning of the mud training, drawing, printing, billet, drying, to carving, glazing, kiln, color glaze, coloring all have to do it themselves.

Moreover, there are special personnel responsible for tracking and supervising the whole process, and once the fraud is found, the competition will be disqualified immediately, and the whole process will be a few days in a row, and everyone will be addicted to it.

Among them, there are many processes and techniques and ingredients that are not usually passed on, and today they are also displayed in front of everyone, of course, the absolute secret is to obtain the consent of the competition party to keep it secret from outsiders.

When the kiln owner of the kiln opened the kiln, what was presented in front of everyone was a crystal clear, showing a royal blue luster of colorful blue and white entwined peony jar, the shape of the vessel was huge and full, the color was bright, and it was definitely the top grade in the blue and white porcelain.

"This time, our kiln has won."

"That is, the porcelain fired by the owner of the blue and white porcelain family will definitely win."

"I see that those merchants and blue and white porcelain collectors have straight eyes, and it is estimated that this blue and white porcelain can be sold for a sky-high price after the competition."

The crowd was talking.

The eight expert judges invited from all over the country immediately stepped forward to carefully taste the blue and white jar, nodded their heads and praised, and then the experts began to score.

Remove a minimum score, remove a maximum score.

The colorful blue and white entwined peony jar, with an average score of 90 points in the end, is extremely high, and you must know that the eye of the expert judges is very picky.

The sagger on the other side has actually been opened, but this side is one step ahead, and everyone's eyes are attracted by this side, and another reason is that the device on this side is huge, and the tool on that side is very small, so it is naturally not easy to attract people's attention.

Hey? At this time, an expert turned to the sagger of the imperial kiln, he stretched out his head to look in, and was stunned, he immediately bent down and lowered his head to observe the porcelain in the sagger closely.

Then, the expert judge stood up straight and said loudly: "The outcome has been decided, and this game is won by the Imperial Kiln." ”

The others listened to his words and looked over to this side, and then someone began to walk this way.

"This judge is too arrogant, right, he alone can decide the winner?"

"I guess it was invited by the Imperial Kiln."

Many people were dismissive of the judge's words.

Other experts also wondered, this old guy is usually very stable, how can he say such a thing today, and at the same time, they have also increased their interest in what kind of blue and white porcelain has been made in the imperial kiln.

So, the other seven judges came to this side with a lot of face.

The judges raised their eyes into the sagger and looked at it, and were immediately stunned, inside was a blue and white auspicious cloud dragon pattern bowl, the workmanship was exquisite, the creativity was very bold, the dragon pattern was in a three-dimensional state as if it was alive and jumped at the bottom of the bowl, and the judges applauded.

Shangguan Yun, the owner of the imperial kiln, smiled proudly, this is the work of his most proud disciple, this kind of three-dimensional hollowing technique is rarely known in the world today.

Huaxiangyun dragon pattern bowl is a blue and white porcelain superlative, coupled with unique creativity and superb skills, which is superior and inferior.

Remove a minimum score, remove a maximum score.

The blue and white auspicious cloud dragon pattern bowl of the imperial kiln, with an average score of 98 points in the end, is better than the colorful blue and white peony pot of the folk kiln.

"In the first game, Guan Yao won." The judges announced on the spot.

The owner of the kiln was also convinced, he shook his head and retreated, and everyone on the side of the kiln immediately panicked, thinking that they would win steadily, but now it's good, the first game will let the other party get off the horse, and it will be more difficult later.

The second competition will be held tomorrow, so there is still half a day to prepare for the kiln.

After watching the game in the morning, Kang Damao came to Shen Luojun's temporary studio alone in the afternoon to see that she was concentrating on preparing the drawings and manuscripts for the competition.

Shen Luojun's drawing on the drawing turned out to be a bowl, huh? Is porcelain popular for bowls now? Isn't it the big size that is more popular in the market?

Shen Luojun finished the last stroke, stretched his waist easily, and hit Kang Damao's chin with the powder fist that was raised, both of them were startled, Shen Luojun looked up and saw that it was Kang Damao, she immediately stood up, unexpectedly, she just collided with Kang Damao, she crashed into Kang Damao's arms, the two looked at each other nervously, Shen Luojun immediately lowered his head with a red face, like a shy little daughter-in-law.

The old lovers were close again to feel each other's breath and heartbeat, and there was a feeling of being in a different world, everything was happening so fast that they didn't have time to see their hearts clearly.
