Chapter 343: The Evil Teaching Director
The flames of the blacksmith's shop burned for a few days, and before that, Yu Zai asked Xiongtao where he had found the kaolin, and of course, the source of the materials that Xi Zhong had found for burning glass for Yijun.
After a few days of trekking, everyone came back, only to find that there were a lot of people around the blacksmith shop, of course, they were all the idle bosses, such as the teacher Qiao Song, and the old Mr. Wu Pan, the prince Changqin, and even the old patriarch....
There are also some friends who have come back from hunting, as well as some clansmen who are resting idle.
Human nature is to join in the fun, not to mention that there was such a big thing a few days ago, new special pottery was baked, and the guys in the blacksmith shop never disappointed the clansmen.
Yu Zai took a closer look, and it turned out that the first glass product that looked like it was freshly baked.
The process of blowing glass is to make glass easier to shape and deform, not to say that it is necessary to make glass, blowing glass is about to be completely mastered in the Northern Wei Dynasty, at least in this period of large-scale popularization throughout the world, of course, these turbid things, but there is a better name than glass.
That's glass.
There are these glasses on the sword of King Goujian of Yue, but it is used as decoration, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, glass products have spread all over the world, and the activity of playing glass beads has begun in the Warring States Period.
Of course, the ancient Egyptians played glass beads for a longer time, so it fully shows that human beings are a group of Han Han who can only play glass beads....
And in a tomb in the Western Han Dynasty, even a glass spear was unearthed...
It's really something that only you can't think of without a craftsman.
The result of not blowing it, if it is made casually, the finished product is most likely the product of the "evil god" made by Yijun, and Yu Zai is a little mentally confused when he sees it, what kind of thing is this.....
"It's really difficult to fire this thing, fortunately, I'm a rare genius in the world, so I can master the heat well, how about it, that Ah Hong can't make this thing, right?"
Yi Jun looked at the red thing in front of him, and there were a lot of onlookers here, and in the eyes of everyone, the glass jar that had not completely faded from the high temperature state made the faces of these people all reflect red.
"Zhu Rong!"
Chi Songzi glanced at Prince Changqin, and the small animals also stared at the big eyes, very curious.
At this time, when the light of the high temperature did not dissipate, the first impact that popped up in people's minds was the word Zhurong, and Prince Changqin was no exception.
Fire, bringing hope to the human race, to the future.
Bronze, pottery, lime ....
Now, fire, once again, has worked a miracle.
Compared to the previous evil god product, this obviously looks much better, but that's all.
"The casting of glass requires molds.... It's better to blow ...."
Yu Zai said to himself, the glass casting mold of the Warring States period was very simple, it was an ordinary inverted mold, and it was enough to take a stone or something to press the liquid glass.....
As for glass blowing, it takes a lot of skill.
Glass is something that can promote the point of science and technology, and it is necessary to point it, and in contrast, in the case of porcelain, it seems that it is not very useful to remove the ginseng fruit for the time being.....
The value of anything should be estimated according to the existing situation, the flood has just receded, Yu Zai estimated the time, from the mouth of the elephant and Shi Jing's words, it can be inferred that the river will also have a great disaster this year.
The time has come for Kun to control the water, and it will not be successful in nine years, and the river will collapse.
Therefore, the Central Plains should also be a bad disaster, pottery is an indispensable thing to rebuild the homeland, and the technology required for porcelain, as well as the kiln and firing technology, are more troublesome, in the process of rebuilding the homeland, porcelain is not as popular as pottery.
However, the point is that after the resumption of production, the demand for porcelain will exceed that of pottery, and the porcelain of this era is not a fine blue and white porcelain, and the role of primitive porcelain is the same as that of pottery, which is used in large quantities for daily hoarding of materials, construction, and sacrifices.
The original porcelain is also more porcelainized than the stoneware, which is half a foot on the threshold of mature porcelain, but it is like a little girl who can't get in, so don't think that the original porcelain is a treasure like blue and white porcelain, in fact, this thing looks no different from clay pottery on the surface.
But the difference is on the inside, although primitive porcelain is primitive, it is far stronger than pottery, and most importantly, this thing is less permeable than pottery.
Yu Zai pondered for a while, of course, good things should be fired and popularized, pottery is now also in the time of evolution, and the original porcelain is glazed that can be called porcelain, the glaze is very easy to do, the most important raw material is "chalk", that is, limestone, this thing, Yu Zai just came to Chaisang Mountain to buy a lot of goods.
The role of glazing is not only beautiful! You know, if you take a chestnut, pottery is a warrior without clothes, primitive porcelain is a warrior wearing animal skin, and glazing is a warrior wearing armor.
"When productivity is restored, the best pottery, no, the original porcelain is resold to the Central Plains, and it will definitely be able to buy a lot of goods, and high-quality things are always liked by people....."
Agricultural industry is the demand for production, while commercial trade is the promotion of prosperity, and the Shennong clan understood this truth 800 years ago.
Yu Zai muttered in his heart, and kept looking at Xiongtao.
Yes, Xiongtao's stinky boy's tribe is the famous Kongsang clan, which is the tribe that Emperor Shun helped when he went to make soy sauce, and it is a tribe that specializes in the pottery industry.
"No, I'll have to find a way to get him to repeat a grade. ”
Yu Zai was thinking about how to become a black-hearted teaching director here, but over there, a few old gentlemen were holding pottery and began to recall the passing youth under the sunset.
"It's a pity..."
Mr. Wu Pan held the primitive porcelain and sighed with emotion: "During the period of the Yellow Emperor, Ning Fengzi meditated hard because of pottery, and finally turned into ashes because of an accident, maybe he wanted to burn such a thing, but at that time, the method was still very primitive, rashly increasing the divine fire, and the final price was extremely heavy." ”
When Chi Songzi heard this, he was also very emotional.
Ning Fengzi was a famous fire refiner, who was named Tao Zheng under the Yellow Emperor, and he was bent on improving the method of firing pottery, but in the end he died due to an accident and disappeared in the flames.
"That's a genius, it's a pity..."
Seeing today's pottery, and then looking at Yijun who was sweating profusely, Wu Pan couldn't help but think that what Yu Zai said was really right, sometimes it was not your peers who beat you, but cross-borders.
In ancient times, although no one would rub nuclear bombs by hand, there were many production accidents, such as poisoning, medical problems, furnace burning, and mine collapses.....
Compared with the original porcelain that is not very good-looking, the small animals are more interested in the glass thing, the little eyes of the goo are wide open, although the glass is cloudy, but it makes its little head melon instantly full of brilliant colors.
And those who saw everything here through a certain small animal were also two Qi Refiners from the South China Sea.
