"Brother Tao is just looking at the shop now?"

"On weekdays, when I am idle, I look at the shop, and when I am not busy, I follow the master to the outside of the city to learn the craft of kiln burning, in fact, I am not a buddy, but an apprentice."

"I see, how far has Brother Tao learned now?"

"Mr. Chen, don't ask, I've studied all these years, and I haven't even learned how to burn porcelain bowls."

Tao Sheng smiled helplessly, this craft is not something that can be done by building a kiln and lighting a fire, the fire, the weather, and various complex factors must be taken into account.

After hearing this, Chen Changsheng said: "In this way, Brother Tao's master is not limited to these porcelain bowls used on weekdays in firing porcelain?" ”

Tao Sheng said: "Don't hide it, sir, a few years ago, the master burned a batch of porcelain, and later paid tribute directly to Shangjing. ”

Chen Changsheng couldn't help but pause, this is afraid of people with great abilities.

Chen Changsheng was stunned in his heart, and asked again: "Brother Tao, have you ever heard of a firing technique called blue and white porcelain from your master's mouth?" ”

Tao Sheng thought about it, but shook his head.

He hadn't heard Master talk about it.

"Blue and white porcelain, what is it like?"

Chen Changsheng said: "Chen has heard people talk about it in previous years, and it is rumored that the finished blue and white porcelain products are rich and colorful, clear and elegant, and the blue color on it is like a landscape painting scroll, and there is also the color of azure, which is particularly moving. ”

"I haven't seen Master yet." Tao Sheng said, "You can ask Master later." ”

Chen Changsheng continued: "Chen has also heard of a special method of firing the cup, after firing, the glaze will form rabbit hair, oil droplets and other kinds of markings, gorgeous but with simplicity, especially moving, I don't know if Brother Tao understands?" ”

"Rabbit? Oil droplets? Tao Sheng paused for a moment and asked, "Is it painted?" ”

Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "It is naturally formed after the glaze is fired. ”

Tao Sheng paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, isn't he joking, is there really a glaze like a rabbit's hair?" ”

"Chen has indeed seen it." Chen Changsheng said.

Tao Sheng also reacted at this time, and his face became serious.

If there is such a glazed ......

He hurriedly said, "Has Mr. Chen ever learned about this firing method?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "I don't know much, I heard that such a pot is particularly difficult to fire, just the kiln needs to continue firing for three days, and the cold kiln takes four or five days, and the final product is less than one percent." ”

"It's so hard to do!?" Tao Sheng was also shocked by the yield of this success.

As he was talking, he invited Chen Changsheng inside.

"Mr. Chen, you elaborate."

Tao Sheng picked up a pen and paper, intending to write it down.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng said: "Brother Tao, I'm afraid this lamp will have to be explored for a long time before it can come to fruition, and the energy and money spent are huge, and you still need to do what you can." ”

Tao Sheng said: "Mr. Chen can rest assured that Tao Sheng knows how to measure." ”

Chen Changsheng nodded, and then told Tao Sheng everything he had learned.

Dragon kiln, sagger, kiln change, glazed ......

Chen Changsheng could only give a general explanation, but he didn't know the specific process.

Rao is like this, Tao Sheng still wrote it down word for word.

Tao Sheng was like a treasure, and when the ink was dry, he carefully put it away.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Changsheng said: "Blue and white are much easier. ”

After hearing this, Tao Sheng said: "Sir, don't worry, Tao can't do this yet, Master will definitely do what he can." ”

Chen Changsheng didn't worry about it after hearing this.

When he left, Tao Sheng also picked out many fine porcelain bowls and porcelain plates for Chen Changsheng to take back.

Then he closed the shop and ran out of the city without stopping.

Three miles outside of Qingshan City, there are three fire kilns burning, and the temperature around them is much hotter.

"Master! Master!! ”

Tao Sheng's master's surname is Cui, and his ancestors were originally doing the work of burning green bricks, but later it was said that Master Cui's generation slowly turned into the work of burning porcelain.

Later, Master Cui visited everywhere, learned a lot of crafts, and after returning to Qingshan City, he concentrated on this way.

Master Cui was controlling the heat, and said with some displeasure: "What are you doing, frizzy, let you see how the shop came here." ”

Tao Sheng swallowed his saliva and said, "Master, look at this! ”

He hurriedly handed over the paper in his arms.

"What's that?" Master Cui raised his eyebrows, and then took it and looked at it.

"Master, look at that 'dragon kiln' casting kiln obliquely, so that the cold and heat inside and outside will be different!"

Master Cui also became serious at once.

He thought carefully about the appearance of the dragon kiln.

"Wonderful, why didn't I think of that?"

Master Cui paused for a moment, then looked down.

The light in his eyes became more and more obvious.

After reading it, he said, "It's not all! That's not all! The sky, the heat, why didn't I write, the glazed material, this is not all! ”

"Who gave this to you?"

Tao Sheng immediately explained.

Master Cui was in a trance for a moment after hearing this, and he looked at the paper again.

"Rabbit ......"

"Can you really burn rabbit hair?"

But the things described above are too far behind.

There really isn't a single key thing.

Isn't it fake?

Master Cui thought so at first, and he never denied this idea.

"It's probably not true, don't think about it."

Master Cui waved his hand and asked Tao Sheng to go back to see the shop.

"Master, what if it's true, Master......"

"Go, go, don't bother me, if this fire is bad, this kiln will be wasted."

Tao Sheng was blown away, leaving Master Cui here alone to watch the fire.

In fact, there are still many people, but they are not as experienced as Master Cui.

After Tao Sheng left, Master Cui's mind was full of things pretending to be rabbits.

'Is there such a skill?' ’

Master Cui wavered over the matter.

His heart was a little confused.

So much so that when the kiln was opened at dusk and sunset, there were a lot of defective products in the kiln.

This kiln was almost burned down by him.

After Master Cui returned home, his brows were furrowed, and he had been thinking about it.

His wife seemed to see something and asked him what was wrong, but Master Cui didn't mention it, and even left the table without eating a few bites of food today.

At night, I even toss and turn in bed, making it difficult to sleep.

At this time, Master Cui also reacted.

If he doesn't try it himself, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass this hurdle.

'This stinky boy mistook me! ’

Early the next morning, he took people outside the city to start digging the ground and casting kilns without eating.

He must try to see if he can really burn rabbit hair!

……

Tao Sheng was unhappy because of this incident, so he didn't go to the kiln today, but kept looking at the shop, thinking about what the glaze looked like like a rabbit's hair.

But it's a pity that he lacks financial resources and has some gaps in skills, and he can't do such a thing alone.

"Alas......"

Tao Sheng sighed again and again, and sat in the shop for a long morning.
