Datang: You Can't Imagine the Happiness of the Prince

Wu Meier has been smart since she was a child, and has always looked down on other people.

But when facing Wan Kuan, she has a kind of worship hidden deep in her heart.

Wu Mei'er handed Wan Kuan's drawing of the shape of the porcelain to the masters. After seeing the shape of the pot, the old craftsmen were all speechless.

"My lady, this porcelain is too thin, you can't take shape at all."

"Yes, lady.

If it is so thin, it will crack as soon as you put it in the fire, and when it is cracked, it will turn into pieces."

"You have to make it thicker, even if it has a little crack, and then cover it up, it can still be used.

It's so thin that it's completely useless if it cracks a little."

For a time, those... craftsmen began to show off their experience again.

At this time, Wu Mei'er still said in a cold voice: "You just need to do as you do, you don't need to ask why.

This is the shape of the utensil set by the superintendent. If you can do it, continue to do it.

After all, the monthly money of [-] taels per month is not for nothing."

Those...the craftsmen could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing this, but they went to knead the porcelain according to Wankuan's drawings.

After all, this month is to give [-] taels of silver, and these [-] taels of silver are a lot of money.

How much can two taels of silver buy... food, enough to feed the whole family.

In the past, when they were in the workshop, they were less than one or two silver coins a month, and most of the time they were only six coins, but now they have tripled.

Such a high monthly payment, let alone pinching porcelain, just... let them be cows and horses, they are also willing.

Do it, do it, don't say it if you can't do it.

Wu Mei'er stood aside and watched these.... The old craftsman was pulling porcelain according to Wan Kuan's request.

The disc below is whirling, and the clay above is slowly taking shape.

Strange to say, those craftsmen felt that if they pulled it so thin, there would definitely be holes in the middle.

But this kind of filtered porcelain clay is really obedient, even if it is only as thin as one-third of 3, these......the porcelain clay is still intact.

Up to now, this porcelain bottle has been raised a foot high, and the porcelain clay has not collapsed. For a while, all these... The craftsmen are amazed.

"It's really strange, we have never been so smooth when we were pulling the china."

"Well, don't say it's pulling a foot 0, and sometimes it collapses by half a foot."

"This height is a small problem. Guan is so thin that the porcelain has been pulled to this point, and it has not been deformed or leaked.

Is it God bless?"

"Maybe, it is said that the great governor was alive when he was in Chang'an City. This Luban ancestor is the ancestor of our line. Maybe it is really an ancestor."

Wu Mei'er listened to these... the craftsman's nonsense, and secretly laughed out loud.

How can these people know that their brother-in-law is powerful, what kind of ancestors appear, this is the method of brother-in-law.

In the past, their porcelain was not big or thin, because there were too many impurities in the clay.

When she was explaining to Wu Meier in Jizhou Wankuan before, Wu Meier didn't know why porcelain with a lot of impurities could not be made well.

Later, Wan Kuan made another rice cake for Wu Meier, but the rice cake was mixed with some under-steamed glutinous rice. As a result, the rice cake was not the same as the last time in Qinling... The rice cake was delicious and tough.

This time, the rice cake couldn't be stretched at all, and it broke halfway through. As a result, you could see those glutinous rice grains that were not steamed in the cracked gap.

Although Wan Kuan didn't explain the theory to her, Wu Meier still understood everything from this small example.

This Wu Mei'er has high comprehension, so if Wankuan just needs a little bit of advice, Wu Mei'er can understand.

At this time, Wu Mei'er looked at the porcelain blanks drawn by the old craftsman, and finally showed a satisfied expression on her face.

Those... craftsmen finally saw that the lady in front of her was no longer stern.

These....porcelains are all jars or pot-bellied vases, because these two kinds of porcelain are both practical and ornamental.

At this time, the porcelain has been pulled well, and it is about to enter the blast furnace, and how to burn Wankuan is completely handed over to Wu Meier.

It's just that Wu Mei'er doesn't have any specific experience, and she has to rely on those old masters to grasp the heat.

The old master put the chinaware one by one into the tin box.

After all, white porcelain is burned now. If the temperature of the flame is too high, the pyrotechnic gas penetrates into the porcelain, and there will be black marks on the white porcelain.

This affects the appearance of the porcelain, and the price cannot be sold.

Therefore, according to the experience of the Great Wall of [-] widths, a cover must be added to the outside of the porcelain, so that it can not only heat up, but also isolate the sundries from the outside world.

Baskets of coke were pulled into the blast furnace. Those masters had never seen coke before. They either used charcoal or coal in the open air.

And these............ the coke looks black and shiny, and it is resistant to burning at a glance.

After the coke went in, it was ignited first. After the ignition, Wu Meier did not let them raise the temperature quickly, because Wu Meier heard Wan Kuan say that when the porcelain was first fired, it was necessary to bake it at a low temperature for a period of time.

There is moisture in the newly kneaded porcelain, so steam the moisture in the porcelain first, so that cracks will not occur when the temperature is raised during subsequent firing.

Those... craftsmen slowly raised the temperature according to Wu Mei'er's wishes, the coke was put into the furnace one by one, and the flames in the blast furnace rose steadily.

The coke was really powerful, and after a while, a roaring flame rose from the furnace.

Now that the temperature inside the blast furnace has completely come up, no one dares to get too close.

And those old masters were sweating one by one, looking through the observation hole to see the color of the flame inside the blast furnace.

Because there is no thermometer at this time, the only way to judge the temperature is to observe the color of the flame.

And the one at the head... the gray-haired old master also used the remaining porcelain clay to knead a triangular figure and put it on the observation hole. This little figure is used to infer the temperature inside the blast furnace.

By observing the firing of the villain, you can know the changes in the porcelain inside.

At this time, there were a lot of people gathered in front of the blast furnace, and even that Wu Meier moved a small chair to sit next to her. She was also sweaty at a young age, but she did not take a step back.

Because this was the first thing she did after arriving in Xingzhou, if she couldn't do it well, she would have failed her brother-in-law's hope for her.

Chapter 286

Wu Meier is an extremely conceited person, she will not let herself be in a situation of failure.

At this time, the temperature in the blast furnace had risen sharply, and the old craftsman headed it turned around and said respectfully to Wu Meier.

"Lady lady, the temperature has already risen, don't... add coke to it, the current temperature will be able to make porcelain."

At this time, Wu Mei'er raised her eyes: "What color is the flame inside?"

"Revelation lady, red with yellow."

"No, the flame temperature is not enough."

"Ah lady, the heat is already very high, the highest heat for firing porcelain in our workshop is like this.

The fire can't be added any more, if you add more, the porcelain will crack."

"This is the meaning of the Governor. The Governor said that the temperature of the flame must be yellow and white, and it is still red, absolutely not, continue to add coke to it!"

Wu Mei'er is righteous, those... old craftsmen can't do anything, why is this little girl in front of her so arrogant, she has been burning porcelain for more than ten years, what kind of flame is allowed, what kind of flame is not allowed.

It is clear that if the flame is yellow and white, it is already extremely high. Porcelain is fired under this kind of fire, and [-]% will crack.

Even if it is not broken, there will be cracks on it, and now the magnet is so thin that a crack can be completely useless.

These....the old craftsmen have been working for decades, and what they are most afraid of is...too much waste porcelain, too much waste porcelain, the housekeeper of the workshop is not happy, and he will buckle if he is not happy. You pay monthly, so everything they do is to burn this porcelain in good condition.

In fact, Wu Meier understands this.... The old craftsman's intention, but he did not come to Xingzhou this time to make ordinary porcelain, she wants to make an unprecedented kind of porcelain .

As soon as this kind of porcelain is put on the market, those rich people will be mad and will buy it frantically, and they will be pulled to the Western Regions, to the Turks, and shipped to Goguryeo and Dongying: they can all sell for good prices.

Although the current white porcelain is not bad, it is still far from the expectations of Wan Kuan and Wu Meier.

In the porcelain described by Wan Kuan to Wu Meier, the white porcelain should be as crystal clear as white jade and as thin as a cicada's wings. Only then can it be worthy of the title of porcelain.

Although Wu Mei'er didn't know if it could be fired successfully, he would still follow Wan Kuan's request.

Wan Kuan told her that if the flame is bright red, the temperature is very low.

If the flame turns orange, the temperature starts to rise.

If the flame is red with yellow, it means that the temperature is good. If the flame turns into absolute yellow, it means that the temperature is relatively high, but when firing top-quality white porcelain, it must be white in the yellow flame, which is... that kind of... absolute light.

And Wan Kuan also told Wu let her compare the Arabic numerals.

红色火焰就是...800,橘红色就是...900度,红里带00度,纯黄色就是...110度,黄里带白就近120这个温度下烧制出来的瓷器才是顶级的瓷器.

Wu Mei'er is also learning these things by Wan Kuan's side now....... The ability to learn from things, the more she learns, the more she understands Wan Kuan's erudite knowledge, many amazing things are in Wan Kuan seems to have a track record.

Just like dealing with Cheng Yaojin last time, Cheng Yaojin was itchy because of the small fluff that Wan Kuan brought back from Qinling. Those small fluff are very fine and can stick into human pores, and they are silent and unable to aware.

When the pores are stimulated, some tissue fluid will overflow, and the whole person will be swollen, itchy and uncomfortable.

And if you want to deal with these... The small fluff that is invisible to the naked eye must be sticked away with sticky things, and glutinous rice is the most suitable.

The steamed glutinous rice was stirred into a ball and applied to Cheng Yaojin's body. When the glutinous rice was removed, the little fluff also left Cheng Yaojin's body along with the glutinous rice.

As a result, Cheng Yaojin will recover.

So in the eyes of those outsiders, Wan Kuan sacrificed Cheng Yaojin to the Dragon King, and then he got the Dragon King's forgiveness, but in fact it was... these little tricks.

The more Wu Mei'er followed Wan Kuan, the more novel she felt.

If it wasn't for this time she wanted to make a living, she would not be willing to leave her brother-in-law.

And those...the old craftsmen kept adding coke to it, and sure enough, after adding another furnace of coke, the flame directly turned yellow, and then slowly turned white.

At this time, Wu Meier directly stopped those...... craftsmen.

"Okay, just keep it at this temperature.

Burn for three hours, and after three hours, slowly cool down."

And those...the old craftsmen nodded directly, they had no problem with opening the furnace, how to cool down, how to splash water, it was very simple.

At this time, the leading teacher and father directly carried a ceramic kettle from his side, and then drank it with a gu dong gu dong to his mouth.

Everyone thought he was thirsty, but after drinking the water, he didn't swallow it, but kept it in his mouth, and then he sprayed a mouthful of water directly into the observation hole.
