Chapter 523 Wind Chimes
Chapter 520 Wind Chimes

Ayin smiled happily: "It's pretty enough! Erpi, don't ask too much!"

Li Junge's heart skipped a beat: "Ayin, you have been learning female red from grandma for so long, can you describe red?"

Ayin said: "The girl Qiu and I sorted out the female red patterns together, and sometimes I also help out. The basic patterns are fine."

Li Junge asked: "Will the lotus pattern be possible?"

Ayin said: "Yes, there will be lotus pattern, ten thousand character pattern, blessing and longevity pattern... There will be many patterns, harmony will bring happiness, gold and jade will fill the house, solid branches will prosper, longevity will last forever, happiness will be linked, and harmony will be happy. ..."

Li Junge laughed loudly: "That's great! That's how we do Jiudouwan!"

Ayin said, "What do you mean?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "You paint, I burn. If there is no white clay, we will do glaze!"

In the next two days, except for the daily routine, Li Junge reconfigured the glaze. The formula is similar to the previous one, but the middle material is removed, and only the plant ash paste, bone ash paste, lime paste and the lightest glaze fruit paste are used. Make a white slurry.

Twelve bowls were used as small bowls, and twelve porcelain bowls were fired.

The firing method is different from the previous batch. The five small holes on the top are fully opened, and more than half of the large hole is also opened. Try to make the combustion fully obtain the oxidizing flame and eliminate the reducing flame to reduce the turquoise in the fired porcelain.

The color of the bucket bowl is still white with a bluish tint. It is lighter in color than the Longquan kiln shadow celadon glaze, and thicker than the Ge kiln shadow celadon glaze. It is impossible to burn pure white glaze with the materials Li Junge has.

But Li Junge is very satisfied, because the temperature is extremely high, so the finish is very good.

Take bamboo rat hair and thin bamboo tubes to make a small brush, and then start to use two parts of top-grade emerald green nameless paste and one part of mud mud paste with water to make a jet-black ink.

Then give everything to A Yin, and let him paint on the Yingqing Dou bowl.

A Yin looked at the dark painting material, and said worriedly: "Erpi, this black one, will it look good if you paint it?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "It's dark now, and it will be different after burning, but don't draw it on the inside of the bowl. If the side is to hold food, draw a circle of blue lines on the side of the bowl, and then decorate the outer layer." It’s fine. Although Wumingyi is a traditional Chinese medicine, it is three-point poisonous, and overglaze paint is not as safe as underglaze paint. It’s hard to guarantee that there will be no problems if you eat it every day.”

Ayin laughed and said, "It's been No.40 for six days, and the show ends in a blink of an eye. I just did this to leave a memory and draw a perfect end to our vacation. I really can eat this bowl every day." ah……"

Time was running out, and the two of them canceled going out for the day. Since getting up, Ayin has been drawing various traditional patterns around the bowl.

Li Junge was not idle either, and went to burn a bunch of white celadon pieces with holes for trial firing, and then went back to Ayin to make suggestions and try to draw the patterns as beautifully as possible.

In the evening, Li Junge remembered what Ayin said about Nianxiang, so he fetched ink and began to draw on the bottom of the bowl.

……

Lijiagou Forum.

"Hey, Miss Ayin can still draw?"

"It's not like painting. It's a bit like tracing red, right? I heard that all the women in Lijiagou can do this. It's for female celebrities..."

"It's true, the ones drawn by Ayin are similar to the patterns in the female red plate..."

"This is... is this for making blue and white porcelain?"

"The color is too dark..."

"Blue and white porcelain is all underglaze color..."

"Upstairs is an expert. Blue and white porcelain is basically underglaze color. In Yongxuan blue and white, there is often a combination of overglaze and underglaze, but it is also underglaze. This kind of porcelain made by Master Ditch and Sister Ayin is called It is more suitable for the glaze blue color..."

"Are you sure it's a blue color? Not a black line?"

"Uh, well, this is indeed a test, to see how the ditch master can conjure up..."

"Wait, Master Ditch, what are you doing under the bowl?"

"Add a little bit to a circle, I know! He is writing! This is the Japanese character in Oracle Bone Inscriptions!"

"That's right, the second one is the month!"

"What is this word? Do you care?"

"I don't care about it. The word is flat, and it is a pattern of water breaking through the restraint."

"So that's the meaning of the font of Ping? I always thought it came from the pictogram of Libra! On children's literacy teaching cards, isn't there a picture of a scale behind Ping? How many years has this been misleading?" ..."

"That's right, before I came to the forum, I always thought that 'Sunflower in Qingqing Garden' was a sunflower, what the hell..."

"What's the next word? This bastard is simply uncomfortable if he doesn't do anything..."

"This is a knowing character. The font is the gait of a person walking. A person walks step by step, and the posture is repeated. This is a compound character!"

"I'm going to go... How did the old ancestor come up with this brain hole..."

"Don't say it's really appropriate, there's nothing wrong with it..."

"Brother upstairs in science popularization, are you from liberal arts?"

"Yes, I usually like this too."

"Admiration, admiration, I am lucky to have you here today, otherwise the big guy will be crushed by Erpi again..."

"No, I also heard that this program shows the traditional way of life of our country, so I came to this forum to learn from everyone..."

"Humble, you are too modest! Oh, the next word is burning my brain again, brother Wen, what is this word?"

"Can you please stop calling me that! Hmm... under this word is a big cauldron, and above it is a straw pole used for divination. Use the divine cauldron to divination to obtain the real instructions of the gods. This is the real character. Hezhen was the same word in ancient times. You can refer to Zhenzi to understand the font."

"Hahaha, really, it's almost the same as the character Zhen... Wait, this is also a character? It's like two tree branches..."

"This is not a tree branch. These are two hands. Two hands are stretched out to each other, ready to hold together. Guess what the word is?"

"stir?"

"base?"

"Pfft...it's not sex! It's love!"

"Hahaha, this is actually the word for love! It's too different from the current word for love... But the origin of the claw on the word for love can be figured out... Wait, it's not easy for us to guess love as troublesome It's all wrong..."

"Emm...there is nothing wrong with what you said above..."

"You can tell the word at a glance, scorpion!"

"Uh... that's correct, but this word is not pictographic, but knowing. Scorpions live in groups, and this word describes a large number. It's not scorpion, it's ten thousand!"

"Oh my god! The writing of my Great Heavenly Dynasty is really extensive and profound!"

"I really don't understand this word, it seems to be a person, carrying something, what kind of word is this?"

"Guess everyone?"

"Carry?"

"back?"

"receive?"

"If you can't guess it, explain it quickly, or I'll call you Brother Wen again..."

"Don't, don't, don't! I'm a lover of ancient Chinese, not a big guy in women's clothing! In fact, everyone has already seen the font. This is a person who is reciting something. What is he reciting? It's a He character! For a whole year The hard work is for this moment of harvest, and the ancestors use this most important moment of the year to represent this entire period of time. This word is year!"

"This word is well designed!"

"like!"

"I simply cast my eyes on the ancestors, I am convinced!"

"Facing such an ancestor, as the descendant of the descendants of Yanhuang and Dragon, I suddenly feel a lot of pressure..."

"Pfft...then you are still surfing the Internet and messing around in forums?"

"Erpi stopped writing? Is this the end? There are still three bowls to write..."

"Don't be too busy, let's read it together first... The sun and the moon are back to normal, true love for thousands of years! Damn it! The dead bastard is spilling dog food again!"

……

No.40 for seven days.

Woke up early in the morning, Li Junge started firing the kiln as soon as it was dawn.

The first kiln first experimented with randomly drawn porcelain pieces. Last night, he and Ayin took ink brushes, small fish, small flowers, and characters, and painted wherever they thought of. They used all five layers of pottery pots and fired them over medium heat. .

It is actually quite difficult to use Wumingyi to fire the blue color on the glaze. It is not that the temperature cannot be reached, on the contrary, but that the temperature is too high.

If the temperature is too high, or the reduction flame is too strong, the blue will become too deep, becoming a kind of black cyan or even pure black.

However, because refiring is only for fixing the color, the advantage is that the time does not need to be too long.

Put five pieces of porcelain in each pot, build five layers and fire.

Then the chimney was restored, and the fire was turned off after three hours, and then the bamboo was pulled out to the side of the milling tank to build a bamboo pavilion.

At noon, the pottery bowl was taken out for inspection.Generally speaking, it is passable, except that the bottom two layers of large color blocks are still darker, turning into a blue-black ink color, and the colors of the other three layers are relatively pure sapphire blue.

You must know that the effect of Shangpin Wumingyi in the past was comparable to that of Huiqing material, which was exclusively provided by the royal family. If the firing failed, I really can't blame the material, but the poor craftsmanship.

After the experiment is done, it will be easy to handle. After eating, another kiln will be set up, and a quarter of the charcoal fire will be removed, and it will still burn for three hours.

Then continue with the bamboo pavilion project. It was evening when the bamboo pavilion was erected, and the kiln was opened for inspection. Except for the color of the last kiln, which was still too dark, the rest were close to perfection.

After dinner, Li Junge officially started work and started firing bowls.

Ayin chose her favorite blue flower porcelain pieces, and made wind chimes with twine, small celadon funnels and small celadon balls fired earlier.

Punch a hole in a round piece of wood, put twine through the hole, then pass the funnel through the twine, tie a knot, put a ceramic ball into it, tie a knot again, and finally attach a small piece, a big piece, or two pieces of porcelain on the bottom to form a Gourd-shaped, lift it up after stringing, and the funnel will cover the small porcelain ball into the cavity.

Hang the wind chimes in the middle of the new pavilion, the breeze blows, and the beautiful emerald green wind chimes are hung with white and blue flower tiles, jingling, and there is a pleasant sound.

A Yin moved a bamboo table and two bamboo chairs into the pavilion, and brought two baskets of orchids from the vegetable field. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers and listening to the wind chimes, he began to weave it with twine and porcelain pieces dyed with cattail. Tape.

Li Junge came over with a bamboo food box, which contained two pots of tea, two cups, and a small porcelain bowl of snacks.

Come over and put things on the table, and look up at the wind chime: "Ayin, you are so beautiful, this wind chime is beautiful!"

A Yin raised his head and smiled, "How's it going over there?"

Li Junge said: "The pottery bowl on the bottom layer is empty, burn four bowls at a time, and burn it twice to call it a day! What are you doing?"

A Yin said: "I'm going to weave tapes for the flute and the leather satchel to hang up."

Li Junge rubbed the fine hemp thread with his hands, and said: "The grade of hemp thread is indeed a bit low. If it is at the turn of spring and summer, we will go to the oak tree in the forest to find tussah cocoons, scald the tussah silk, and dye it with nameless and yellow cattail. It’s blue and yellow, and it’s absolutely beautiful to weave!”
