Chapter 110: Bone China Presents

"You guys, go and grind these cow bones into powder!" Li Junxian ordered first.

Now that Li Junxian has chartered this porcelain kiln, of course he has to start giving orders. And Li Junxian first asked to grind this pair of beef bones into powder, so that he could fire bone china.

"General Li, why do you grind this cow bone into powder?" Master Zhou asked.

"Let you do it, you can do it, today you all have to obey my command, don't talk so much nonsense." Li Junxian said angrily.

The porcelain kiln workers had no choice but to start grinding the cow bone. The beef bones are so hard that it took nearly a few hours to grind a little bit of powder, which is probably just a few bowls. Li Junxian saw that these beef bone powders were enough to do an experiment, so he didn't say anything and let Master Zhou start to do it.

"Master Zhou, you mix these bone meal with clay in a half-to-half ratio." Li Junxian said.

"Good!" Master Zhou said.

Then, a lump of clay mixed with bone meal attended. And Li Junxian asked Master Zhou to pinch it into a bowl and put it into a porcelain kiln to fire. This method is very upset to everyone, because where is there any way to mix bone meal to make porcelain? This method amazes the kiln workers who have been firing porcelain for many years.

"Just do what I say, don't ask too much." Li Junxian said.

Li Junxian didn't know how to explain it, anyway, the chemical principles in it were not something that Li Junxian, a person who studied history, could explain clearly. However, Li Junxian could only order them to do it through authority, anyway, Li Junxian knew that he could succeed.

"Okay!" Master Zhou inevitably said helplessly.

Master Zhou, as the oldest and most capable porcelain firing master, this strange porcelain bowl is of course to be fired by him. This is also what Li Junxian requires, because Li Junxian knows that the scrap rate of bone china is very high, and he must be proficient in professional firing technology to improve the yield rate. This is also the reason why in the early days of bone china, the price was also extremely expensive.

"Shuoshuo Shuoshuo......" A burst of flames rubbed the air, and the raging fire burned in the porcelain kiln.

According to the process, Master Zhou put the porcelain blank mixed with bone meal into the kiln, and the moisture of the porcelain was instantly evaporated.

"Korah!" The porcelain cracked, and then split in half.

"General Li, this ......" Master Zhou asked a little nervously.

Now the porcelain has been burned in half, and Master Zhou is also very worried that Li Junxian will blame him. This kind of mixed bone powder fired porcelain, which Master Zhou had not experienced, so he did not have the experience of this at all, and as a result, the porcelain was split in half. And Master Zhou was afraid that Li Junxian would blame him, so he became nervous. At this time, cattle are very valuable, even the price of beef bones is not low, so Master Zhou wasted such good beef bones, and he was very worried that Li Junxian would find him to settle accounts.

"It doesn't matter, come on!" Li Junxian said lightly, making it difficult to see the anger of the play.

Then the other workers began to grind the bones, and soon some of the bone powder was ground again, which was mixed with the clay again. And this clay ball was kneaded again into a vase, and then put it into the mouth of the kiln and began to fire.

"Korah!" The porcelain shattered again.

That Master Zhou looked at Li Junxian nervously again, as if he was very worried that Li Junxian would blame him. Li Junxian shook his head, indicating that he didn't care, and the result continued. Li Junxian also knows that the yield of bone china is very low, especially now that everyone has not explored the experience of firing bone china, so it is even more difficult. Li Junxian estimated that if it could be successfully fired within a week, it should be a good result. When Westerners invented bone china, it has gone through decades of research by several people. Although Li Junxian can use the method of taking it, he already knows the results and the formula, so it should be easier. If it's not enough to make it in a week, it should be good.

"Okay, go ahead, I won't blame you!" Li Junxian said.

Then, Master Zhou continued to burn it several times, but the results were all destroyed without exception. However, everyone found a good picture. At the beginning, Master Zhou just put it into the kiln, and it immediately shattered, but now it can last for a while. And the one just now, it looked like it was about to become a finished product, but it fell short in the end. However, everyone sees hope for the finished product. Everyone has been making porcelain for a long time, and they all want to see what this porcelain mixed with bone meal can be fired into.

The time quickly changed from daylight to night, and now it is almost the middle of the night, and in ancient times it was already the middle of the night, and everyone had already fallen asleep. However, Li Junxian specially told the yamen in Chang'an that he wanted to continue working during the curfew in the middle of the night. And Chang'an's yamen didn't want to offend Li Junxian, so he approved it directly.

"Shuoshuo Shuoshuo ......" The flame at the mouth of the kiln is still burning.

"Oops, it's done!" Master Zhou said excitedly.

Master Zhou took the large porcelain bowl out of the kiln, and it was still steaming, but it was finally formed. This porcelain bowl looks white, which is supposed to be caused by the so-called calcium oxide. And this porcelain bowl is very thin, much thinner than other celadon and white porcelain, probably less than half the weight of ordinary porcelain bowls.

And Li Junxian hurriedly came over to take a look, and when the porcelain bowl cooled, he took it in his hand. Li Junxian took a serious look at the porcelain bowl, put him in front of the lamp and looked at it, and couldn't help nodding.

"Master Zhou, have you mastered the method of firing this porcelain?" Li Junxian asked.

"Yes! I will, next time I will be able to fire it very smoothly! Master Zhou said affirmatively.

Li Junxian was also excited, because he fired bone china, which is a new type of porcelain. The new type of porcelain, which represents economic profits, can bring many benefits. Even, there are still many foreign merchants in Chang'an, who can sell bone china to them. And this kind of thing that takes advantage of them and then sells it back to them, it's such a good feeling.

"Boss, in the future, you will sell this porcelain kiln to the Dugu family!" Li Junxian said in an unquestionable tone.

The boss was a little reluctant at first, but after seeing Li Junxian's cold expression, he immediately said: "Okay, okay, General Li rest assured, the villain will definitely sell the porcelain kiln to Miss Dugu." ”

Li Junxian nodded secretly, he knew that this bone china was a new product, and the technology could not be allowed to leak out. And the workers in these porcelain kilns have seen it, of course, they must become their own people, and this boss, of course, must also buy his industry.

"Okay, I can leave you a tenth of the profits, but don't say some things that shouldn't be said, do you understand?" Li Junxian said.

"Good, good!" The boss hurriedly said.
