The man smiled and said, I am from Liangjia Village, I have delivered food to the soldiers' homes before, I have seen you, and you also rewarded me with a bowl of noodles to eat, so I remember you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yo, that's what happened, that's nothing, I'm a kind-hearted person, and I've always liked to be merciful." Tang Laosi said with a smile. Anyway, he can't remember whether there is such a thing, and it is a good thing to be remembered for doing good, and there is no harm in it.

The two talked and laughed affectionately for a while, and then the man asked, "Chef Tang, what are you buying today?" ”

"Buy some mutton and go back to stew, the master said that he wants to eat stewed mutton today." Tang Laosi said.

"It's a coincidence, one of my relatives happened to kill a sheep today, I took you to buy it, with my face, he will definitely give you a good price, so that my brother can have a few more wine money......" The man said, hehe laughed.

Tang Laosi patted the man's shoulder happily, and said affectionately: "Brother is really an understanding person, if you have any dishes in the future, you can pick them up directly and buy them in Wufu, and I won't suffer a loss for you." ”

"Great, then thank you Brother Tang." The man said excitedly.

When he walked to the door of a house in an alley, the man pointed to the door and said, "This is my relative." After speaking, he pushed open the door and walked in, and Tang Laosi also walked in.

The door "snapped" shut, and several big men pounced, blocked Tang Laosi's mouth, and dragged him into the house one by one

There was a table in the room, and behind the table sat a man in his forties, who looked at Tang Laosi coldly and didn't speak.

After a while, he said: "Tang Laosi, I'm going to take the cloth from your mouth, you listen well, if you don't want to die, don't shout, understand my words, just nod your head......"

Tang Laosi nodded desperately.

"Take the cloth from his mouth." The man said.

Seeing that Tang Laosi could speak, the man asked, "Tang Laosi, have any outsiders been to Wu Jincai's house recently?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Laosi was startled, hesitated, lowered his head and said, "I'm in the kitchen, I don't know what's going on outside." ”

glanced at him coldly, and the man said coldly: "Tang Laosi, you'd better not play tricks on me, your family lives in Gouwei Lane, Jingdezhen, you have a son Tang Dali, a daughter Tang Xiaohua, and an old wife who is sick in bed, if you don't want your daughter and son to go missing, just tell me honestly everything that happened in Wu Jincai's family recently." ”

Thinking of his son and daughter, Tang Laosi couldn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly knelt down and mourned: "Don't don't, don't beg, I beg you not to do this, I said it's not okay?" ”

"That's right, in order to protect others, he killed his own children, isn't it a fool, let's say it." The man said.

Raising his head and wiping his tears, Tang Laosi said: "More than ten days ago, a few outsiders came to the soldier's house and said that they wanted to help him. ”

"A few out-of-towners? Where? What for? The man asked.

Recalled, Tang Laosi said: "I don't know where it is, but I heard that they are officers and soldiers, a man in his thirties, and I heard that he is a general." ”

"Officers and soldiers? Checkmate? The man muttered, stood up abruptly, and paced the room with his head bowed.

After pacing around the house for a while, the man stopped and asked, "Outsiders can't find Wu Jincai's home, so who brought these outsiders to Wu Jincai's house?" ”

After thinking for a while, Tang Laosi said: "I heard that the housekeeper outside the army said that it was Liang Tianfu, an old kiln worker in Jingdezhen, who led it. ”

"What did they talk about in the house?" The man asked.

"It's not clear about this, I'm afraid only the master, lady and lady know the specifics." Tang Laosi said.

Hearing this, the man looked at him carefully, and looked dazed, as if he really didn't know. After thinking about it, he took out a piece of silver of about ten taels, threw it on the ground in front of Tang Laosi's feet, and said coldly: "Tang Laosi, this is your reward, today's matter, don't tell anyone, otherwise, be careful of your son and daughter." ”

"Don't say it! Don't say it! I won't die to say it. Tang Laosi said repeatedly.

Smiling, the man said, "Sixth, send him out, be careful not to be seen." ”

"Yes." The farmer-like man who brought Tang Lao Si in at the beginning walked in again.

After sending Tang Laosi out, this person pushed open a door in the house, Yang Song was sitting inside, this person bowed to Yang Song, and said respectfully: "Master, everything has been asked clearly, if you want to know the details of that officer, it seems that the only way to bring Liang Tianfu, an old potter in Jingdezhen, here for questioning." ”

"Steward Liu, you can do it, I just want the result." Yang Song said coldly.

"Yes. Master. Steward Liu bowed down and said.

At the Jingdezhen "Guest Home" Inn, Zhao Guohua and several guards were listening to the old potter Liang Tianfu talk about the process of firing porcelain. Liang Tianfu is idle now, in order for his son to have a good future with Zhao Guohua in the future, he came to chat with Zhao Guohua every once in a while, Zhao Guohua wants to burn bone china, and he also needs to understand the process of burning porcelain in ancient times, so Liang Tianfu is also welcome to chat.

"Uncle Liang is here? Come sit down and drink tea, come and serve tea to Uncle Liang. Zhao Guohua smiled and ordered the guards.

Liang Tianfu bowed respectfully and said, "The general is too polite, he smiled faintly, and the little old man was embarrassed." ”

With a faint smile, Zhao Guohua said: "Uncle, you are an old potter, I want to know about the process of firing porcelain, can you tell me about the process of firing porcelain?" ”

"No problem. As long as the general likes to listen, the little old man likes to speak. Liang Tianfu said with a smile

After taking a sip of tea, Liang Tianfu cleared his throat and said: "The porcelain firing process boils down to the following main procedures: Collecting porcelain stone and porcelain clay: porcelain is made from porcelain stone and porcelain clay (kaolin) as the basic raw materials. (Second) crush and grind fine porcelain stone porcelain clay: the collected porcelain stone porcelain clay is finely scooped in the stone mortar with a giant mill or a boulder hammer.

After listening to this process, Zhao Guohua asked: "Uncle, the raw materials will definitely not be the same thickness as the one scooped, so how to separate the coarse and fine raw materials, is it a sieve?" ”

"No, if you do that, it will be much more troublesome, labor-intensive, and troublesome." Liang Tianfu said.

"So how?" Zhao Guohua asked curiously.

Liang Tianfu said: "This is the third process, the third process is to wash the fine porcelain powder: the processed stone and clay porcelain is poured into the square or round pottery washing pool for pottery washing. The specific method is to follow the mountain situation, use the slope, build three or four pools (as many as five or six) from the high down, pour the fine broken porcelain into the pool and turn it into mud, the water slurry flows to the low pool through different pools, the coarse porcelain precipitates first, the finest porcelain precipitates in the lowest pool, and the evaporated water becomes a mud block, that is, the porcelain blank mud. After kneading it many times, it can be used to make porcelain blanks.

(Fourth) making porcelain blanks: put the clay on the billet making tools, generally a wheel, there are also mold frames, etc., by the craftsmen who have been skilled to make a variety of utensils to dry. Of course, the way and method of production is also an evolution process from low to high, such as from the ancient period of soil painting, mud disc (circle) to the use of slow wheel and then fast wheel rotation, if it is a large piece, it needs to be divided into two sections respectively to pull the blank, and then use the tire slurry or tire mud to connect into a whole device.

(Fifth) Decorative painting: After the blank tire is formed, the craftsmen carry out decorative painting according to the aesthetic needs of different characters in different eras, different regions, and various methods, such as carving, scratching, printing, painting, sculpture, etc. Engraving decoration needs to be carried out with special tools such as bamboo knives when the blank tire is not dry, printing or sculpture needs to be made when the blank mud is wet, and painting is carried out after the carcass is cool and dry, and different raw materials are used to paint according to different needs, such as cobalt material for underglaze blue and white, copper material for red glaze, and overglaze color such as multicolored and pastel is painted on the plain surface of fired porcelain with different color materials, and then repeatedly fired at low temperature.

(6) Uniform glazing: glaze the decorated blank tire. The glaze used in different periods is different, and the method of glazing is also different. For example, the extension (coating) glaze method, with a pen or brush dipped in glaze slurry and then applied to the plain tire; Blowing glaze method, with a tube according to needs, one end of the mulsile, dipped in glaze slurry and then blown on the carcass, repeated many times until uniform; The glaze dipping method is generally used for glazing outside the carcass, when the hand-held blank is immersed in the glaze slurry and gently pulls up and down or rotates left and right, and the water absorption of the blank body makes the glaze adhere to the tire damage; Swinging glaze method, the glaze slurry is injected into the blank, and the carcass is swirled up and down, left and right, so that the glaze slurry is evenly attached to the inner wall of the blank, and this method is commonly used in pots, bottles, and cans; In addition, the green body can also be placed on the rotary wheel to glaze, and the glaze slurry is scattered on the inner wall of the blank by rotation, so it is called the wheel glaze method.

(7) Firing in the kiln: After glazing the decorative and painted blanks, they can be loaded into the sagger and fired in the kiln. The success of a perfect porcelain firing is greatly related to the shape of the kiln, the position of the porcelain sagger after entering the kiln, the firing temperature, and the flame burning in the kiln. Therefore, the porcelain blanks must be stacked according to the different temperature positions in the kiln, front and back, left and right, up, middle and bottom, in order to fire porcelain with different characteristics. "It's not easy for a piece of porcelain to go through so many processes to turn it from clay into fine porcelain." After listening to Liang Tianfu's brief description of the porcelain firing process, Zhao Guohua said with a sigh.

"Yes, so good porcelain can be more expensive than gold." Liang Tianfu said.

Thinking of how he went to the porcelain field as a buddy when he was young, step by step, and finally became a master of the kiln, Liang Tianfu was full of emotion.

"Uncle Liang, did you work in the porcelain factory?" Zhao Guohua asked.

Liang Tianfu smiled smugly and said, "The old man turned out to be the master of the full kiln. ”

"Master Manyao?" Zhao Guohua asked.
