How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 75 Who Said That Those Who Stand in the Light Are Heroes!
The next day, Liu Hanlin and Liu Xi came to Sanbao Pottery Village to find Zhao Chen.

Liu Hanlin heard that Zhao Chen brought four pieces of ancient Faru kiln porcelain over here this time, so he wanted to buy them. Liu Xi was purely here to join in the fun.

The ancient faru kiln porcelain was made by Zhao Chen at home, and he planned to sell it to make some money.

After all, the cost of firing Yaobian Tianmu is not small. Although the pottery art village has provided him with a working environment, he still has to buy the raw materials himself.

Liu Hanlin was very generous, 15 for an ancient Ru kiln, 60 in total, Zhao Chen also readily agreed to this.

Liu Hanlin confirmed that there was no problem with the porcelain, so he asked the accompanying driver to put it away.

"I heard that you have been working on Yaobian Tianmu for a while, are you going to open the kiln today?"

Liu Hanlin couldn't help asking.

"Well, I want to challenge it." Zhao Chen nodded and replied.

"Yao Bian Tianmu, I saw it once in a museum, but it was only a remnant. Such a work of art is indeed rare to see, but it is too difficult to restore it." Liu Hanlin said again.

"Yes, I know the principle, but I have no idea. I plan to burn two furnaces first and try to see if I can find the critical value." Zhao Chen replied truthfully.

"It doesn't matter if you fail. Handmade porcelain is to accumulate experience through continuous trials."

"Just like the Southern Song Dynasty official kilns, before you taught the technique of low-temperature biscuit firing many times, the craftsmen could only rely on luck. It is already very good to produce five out of fifty pieces."

Liu Hanlin said in relief.

The two chatted.

Zhao Chen and Liu Hanlin had a lot of topics in common. Liu Hanlin was a true master of art with great character, self-cultivation, and ability. Zhao Chen also admired him very much.

Afterwards, Liu Hanlin knew that Zhao Chen still had important matters, so he didn't disturb him.Liu Xi originally wanted to ask Zhao Chen to go rafting on bamboo rafts, but knowing what happened to Zhao Chen recently, she also gave up on this idea.

"Master, come on, I believe in you!" Liu Xi cheered Zhao Chen up with a smile.

"Well, thank you." Zhao Chen responded with a smile.

Then, Zhao Chen brought the little ones to the workshop again.

Live streaming is on.

The kiln here is very advanced, and the parameters can be adjusted by machine, including temperature, humidity, pressure and so on.Moreover, the kiln also has two spaces that can modulate different parameters.

Zhao Chen put fifty pieces of teacups into two different kilns.

He knew the approximate restoration environment of Yaobian Tianmu, so he set different parameters for the two kilns.

The temperature, time and pressure are all changed.

He needs to find that threshold.

Not long after, the temperature in the kiln gradually rose.

"I don't have much confidence in these two kilns, because there are many factors that need to be considered for the Yaobian Tianmu teapot. I need to understand the state of the kiln and then adjust the internal parameters."

"However, it would be best if there were a few teacups with traces of obsidian transformation."

"At least I can have a preliminary judgment."

"These two kilns are the original experimental products."

Zhao Chen said to everyone.

"At about seven o'clock in the evening, I will open the kiln to inspect the porcelain."

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the netizens all cheered for Zhao Chen.

[Come on, Master! 】

[We believe in you! 】

The screen is full of cheering words.

For the next period of time, Zhao Chen stared at the changes in the kiln in the yard.

In his spare time, he turned on the drawing machine and made the tea cup blanks again.

The artwork he wants to restore can be said to be the best in the world.

A work of art like this requires a lot of effort.

The fox and the puppy still accompanied him quietly.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, the number of netizens in Zhao Chen's live broadcast room began to increase rapidly.

People from all walks of life poured into Zhao Chen's live broadcast room.

This time point belongs to the golden time, and the popularity of various delivery anchors and fitness anchors has begun to grow.

However, Zhao Chen's popularity has firmly occupied the top ten positions in the Douyin popularity list.

His current popularity is already terrifying.

Zhao Chen stood in front of the kiln, a little nervous.

At seven o'clock, Zhao Chen closed the kiln, and the temperature gradually dropped.

When it was almost cooled, Zhao Chen opened the door of the first kiln.

At first glance, it was pitch black.

Black Tianmu lamps lie in the kiln one by one, waiting to welcome their new life.

The temperature in the kiln soon reached room temperature, so Zhao Chen took out the black Tianmu lamps one by one.

These teacups are all jet black.

Seeing such a teacup, Zhao Chen's thoughts returned to the past again.

The culture of drinking tea was prevalent in the Song Dynasty, and this kind of black teacup was used, and the method of drinking tea was emphasized, but this kind of teacup was eliminated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

However, Little Japan was very interested in this kind of tea cup and began to buy a large number of them. It was also at that time that three national treasure-level cultural relics, Yaobian Tianmu, fell to Little Japan.

Zhao Chen took out a black teacup and looked at it carefully.

The teacup was pitch black, without the slightest color.

Then, one by one, Zhao Chen slowly took out the porcelain.

The drone flew over his head, giving a close-up of each piece of porcelain that was taken out.

At this time, Zhao Chen picked up a black Tianmu lamp, his eyes changed slightly.

In this tea cup, there are strips of blue lines, which are fixed in the tea cup like scattered light.

"This is the pattern of rabbit hair. Such a teacup can be regarded as a precious thing."

"But it's still a little short of Yaobian Tianmu."

Zhao Chen put the blue rabbit hair pattern Tianmu cup aside, and then continued to take out the porcelain.

In the first kiln, two pieces of rabbit hair celestial eyes were produced, but Yaobian celestial eyes did not appear.

Everyone looked at the jet-black porcelain that Zhao Chen took out like black jade, and they were also discussing fiercely.

Then, the second kiln was opened.

The Tianmu lamps, which were still pitch black, were taken out one by one by Zhao Chen.

At this time, Zhao Chen took out a piece of porcelain and suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, netizens couldn't help holding their breath.

Did it show up?

Everyone's eyes focused on the past.

I saw countless small dots inside the black teacup. These small dots were like bubbles, showing a silvery pattern.

[Is this Yaobian Tianmu? 】

[There are many colorful stripes inside! 】

[It seems to be done? 】

The barrage asked immediately.

At this time, Zhao Chen shook his head.

"This is not Yaobian Tianmu, it is the oil drop pattern Tianmu lamp."

"The Tianmu cup with oil drop pattern is a special Tianmu cup produced by the method of oil drop glaze. Since the glaze is dripped on, there will be special changes in the place where the drip is made, forming spots."

"In the firing of the Tianmu lamp, there is such a sentence."

"A rabbit hair is a line, and an oil drop is a point, both of which are relatively simple. And Yaobian is a combination of points, lines, and surfaces."

"The lines of the rabbit hair and the dots of the oil drop are fused together, and the surface is the basis of the colorful halo."

"In this way, it is Yaobian Tianmu."

Hearing Zhao Chen's explanation, everyone was stunned.

Such a Tianmu lamp is actually not Yaobian Tianmu.

Can this Yaobian Tianmu really be refined by humans?
On a piece of porcelain, dots, lines and surfaces combine?

Zhao Chen took out all the Tianmu lamps from the second kiln. This time, there were eleven pieces of oil drop lamps, and the rest were all black Tianmu lamps. Six of them were defective.

The master craftsman who fired the Tianmu lamp here must be surprised that Zhao Chen's success rate is so high.

But Zhao Chen was not very satisfied with this result.

"Fifty Tianmu cups were fired for the first time, including two rabbit hair-spotted Tianmu cups, eleven oil-drop-spotted Tianmu cups, 24 finished Tianmu cups, and [-] defective products."

"But Yaobian Tianmu did not appear."

"The hard work of this week is not enough after all."

Zhao Chen concluded.

"That's the way art is, it doesn't always go your way."

"Starting tomorrow, I will continue with the second attempt."

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, and seeing Zhao Chen's appearance, the netizens suddenly felt a little admiration in their hearts.

Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged.

Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes.
