Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 135

Su Chen intends to stay in the Baijia Porcelain Manor outside the city for a period of time, personally invest in it, and carefully investigate the characteristics of the kiln and kiln furniture, the requirements for the time period of the firing temperature of the porcelain, how to prepare the glaze color, and the quality of the porcelain clay. Only when we are familiar with the identification and so on can we make appropriate suggestions.

Seeing that he was so serious and asked to stay in the manor, Bai Susu felt a little surprised, and then felt something in her heart. She felt that Su Chen really wanted to help her by doing this.

"Su Chen..." Bai Susu originally had a cold and aloof character, but after being in contact with Su Chen for a long time, some changes have taken place unconsciously, and it seems that he is no longer so cold.

"What's wrong?" Su Chen looked at her hesitant to speak.

"Thank you!" Bai Susu had always been strong, but at this time, his words were gentle and full of gratitude.

Because she knows very well that as long as Su Chen writes poems and songs, as long as he saves people with a knife, he can become famous and gain both fame and fortune. He doesn't need to learn the skill of firing porcelain from master craftsmen himself and lower his status. It's all because I asked him to come and help!

Recently, Su Yixuan, who was praised by scholars in Runzhou as "the number one talented person in Jiangzuo", fired porcelain in the porcelain kiln of the Bai family. If he told it, no one would believe it!

Such a talented person is willing to bend down for her, Bai Susu suddenly understands what this means!

She looked at Su Chen's face with a look of sincerity, gratitude, and appreciation in her eyes, thinking that if she hadn't shouldered the family's heavy responsibilities, and if the Bai family hadn't been in decline and needed someone to take care of her, she should really give up the family power, Find such a responsible man who is willing to give up his status as a talented scholar for her, so that he can live his life.

At this moment, Bai Susu's heart was a little excited. What she was thinking about was actually different from Su Chen's thinking... It seemed a little different!

Su Chen just felt that his friend needed help, and he needed to cooperate with her in the future. In addition, he was also interested in firing porcelain. If he learned the craft, he might be able to help him make a lot of money by firing glazed wares. He was completely interested in new things. Curiosity, and longing for money, chose to stay.

As for giving up his status as a talented scholar and bowing down to learn craftsman skills, he really didn't think it was a big deal, because he wasn't really a talented person in the first place!

It's just that the hierarchy of "scholar, farmer, businessman" is deeply rooted, and the identity of a scholar is too important in the eyes of the world in this era, so although he simply wants to learn crafts, in Bai Susu's eyes, this is already abandoning the noble status of a scholar and bowing down for her. I am so touched by such dedication.

Su Chen went with the flow and said, "We're all friends now, and we promised to contribute. You can't be passive and sabotage your work. You don't have to feel too guilty. When the time comes, you can cooperate and share the accounts. Just don't accumulate my profits. Be honest."

Bai Susu was a little touched at first, but when she heard these words, she almost laughed angrily, gave him a sideways glance and said, "Understood, I won't treat you badly!"

Su Chen smiled. After getting along for a long time, he believed in Bai Susu's character more and more. He basically kept what he said, kept his promises, and was very honest.

Of course, at night, Su Chen lived in the Bai Family Porcelain Kiln Manor, where there are pavilions for sleeping, Bai Susu did not return to the city, and stayed with him.

At night, with bright candlelight, Su Chen sat at the desk, writing and drawing with a pen, and wrote down his own experience and shortcomings of firing white porcelain and celadon today.

Familiar with the steps of making white porcelain with mud, molding, glaze, and firing, he asked the craftsman to fire two furnaces of celadon in the afternoon to compare the craftsmanship and get an intuitive impression.

Celadon is a glaze in which iron is used as a coloring agent on the ligand, and it turns green or blue-yellow after high-temperature firing.

Ding's porcelain-making technology is derived from the "secret color" feature of Yue kiln, which is the best color of Yue kiln celadon. The firing of this kind of blue glaze requires superb technology and experience. During the fire, the temperature and ventilation must be strictly controlled to make the air in the kiln generate some carbon monoxide, which can reduce a small amount of iron in the glaze to ferrous oxide, thereby controlling the azure glaze. If the operation is not careful, it may generate carbon monoxide. Yellow or black glaze, changing quality.

Lu Guimeng, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Secret Colors Yue Qi" that "the wind and dew in the nine autumns will open the kiln, and the emerald colors of thousands of peaks will be won" has become a famous sentence chanting celadon.

The difference between white porcelain and celadon lies in whether the raw materials contain iron, and whether the firing method is reducing flame or oxidizing flame. The iron content in the body and glaze is controlled, and the interference of iron in the coloring can be eliminated, so that it can be fired. Produce white porcelain that is "similar to snow and silver".In the history of porcelain, the appearance of white porcelain marked a qualitative leap in the porcelain industry and made the porcelain decoration technique completely new.

Sitting there, Su Chen learned more about the two kinds of porcelain. At the same time, he was thinking about how to make the bluish-white porcelain that was fused with the two kinds of porcelain.

At this time, the door rang, and Bai Susu walked into the room with a tea tray in hand.

Bai Susu glanced at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and asked softly: "Su Chen, you've been busy all day, don't you want to rest earlier?"

Su Chen shook his head and said: "The rough work that I'm busy with during the day is just practice, if I really want to come up with a solution, I still need to extract theory from practice."

"What are you drawing?" Bai Susu looked at the rice paper on the table with many strange figures drawn on it.

Su Chen explained with a smile: "This is a kiln and a heating tool. I decided to improve it and use double burners to increase the area of ​​the fire net. The double burners take turns to add firewood. This heating method can control the fire temperature more quickly and effectively. !"

Bai Susu couldn't understand, so she took out a teapot, teacups and some pastries with jade hands, and put them on his case.

"Come, have a cup of tea and some pastries!"

Su Chen looked at the green tea in the white porcelain teacup, thought of a poem by Yuan Zhen, and softly recited: "Carved jingyu cup, baked through the inner vase."

He took the teacup and observed it carefully. He didn't drink the tea right away. He saw that the white porcelain cup had a warm tone in the translucent light. The tiles were smooth and white as snow. It can be seen that the fine white porcelain is of excellent quality.

"Susu, I've been living here by myself for a while, you can go back to the city to do some work tomorrow, and you can pick me up in a few days."

Bai Susu looked complicated, nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, and it's fun to study." Su Chen smiled, showing a sunny smile, as kind and hearty as a big boy.

Seeing his smile, Bai Susu felt a warm feeling in her heart, and she also smiled.

While Su Chen was drinking tea and eating pastries, Bai Susu was sitting beside him, watching him quietly.

After a while, Su Chen was a little unnatural when she saw her, his eyes met the gaze of the stunning beauty, he handed out a piece of pastry and said, "Would you like some?"

Bai Susu shook her head: "Daughter's family eats a lot at night, so it's easy to get fat."

Su Chen smiled and said: "You look thin, not fat at all, come on, open your mouth!" He picked up a piece of pine flower cake and stuffed it near her mouth.

Bai Susu was stunned, and could only bite off most of it with her mouth open, with a hint of resentment, she leaned back, looking a little embarrassed, and gave him a gouged look, she grew up so big, no man had ever fed her, including her father and grandfather, Because the big families are served by nurses and maids.

Su Chen looked at her annoyed expression, it was rare to see Miss Bai's naive and cute side, he couldn't help laughing, and smugly put the pastry she had bitten into his mouth and ate it.

Seeing this scene, Bai Susu's cheeks were flushed instantly, and she was so charming.

　PS: I'm sorry everyone, there was a project delay today, I was talking about things outside, and I got home very late, so I only coded out one chapter.
