  Chapter 161

  In the open hall next to Song Jiyun's accountant's house, the master craftsmen and shopkeepers of the kiln were all sitting on the grand master's chair with a slightly uneasy expression.

Luo Zixing didn't even look at the bright yellow fresh Sichuan oranges brought by the little maid. He tightly held the armrest of the teacher's chair and said, "It can't be that the old boss gave Song Tao the jade porcelain recipe? Back then, the old boss wanted to teach her I also objected to firing porcelain.

   "It's nothing to teach her skills, there is a big master behind her!

   "It's all right now, she is holding our formula and fighting with us.

   "Doesn't she know that we managed to get it back from the Imperial Kiln Factory? It's too heartless for her to do this!"

   "Conscience is never worth anything in the eyes of some people!" Xiang Yang who was sitting beside him suddenly said coldly, interrupting Luo Zixing's chatter.

   Zhou Li is the calmest one here. He whispered to Song Jiyun: "The visitor is not kind! She is going to step on our family's head to make a name for herself. We can't let her get the limelight?"

"But now what do we use instead of jade porcelain?" Wang Dahai said worriedly, "I have seen it with my own eyes—when the old club's jade porcelain came out, Panorama Dezhen was dumbfounded. So many years have passed, except for the young lady who burned it out. No one can replace the sweet white porcelain. Are we going to take back the sweet white porcelain? What about the Royal Kiln Factory?"

  The hall suddenly fell silent.

  Song Jiyun pursed his lips, thoughtful, but didn't say a word.

   Zheng Quan walked in quickly, sweating profusely.

"Miss!" He took the teacup from Zhou Li without taking a sip, and said, "Everyone thinks that Miss Tao's jade porcelain recipe was given to her by the second master before his death. But after half a day, only offering More than 10,000 pieces of porcelain have been ordered, and many more are rushing to the Liangyu Kiln Factory after hearing the news. If this continues, as long as their family can burn it, they will not worry about selling it."

   This was originally expected by Song Jiyun.

   Otherwise, she would not have found a way to get back the right to sell jade porcelain.

  She asked: "Is our daily blue and white porcelain affected?"

  In the exhibition hall, there are also some daily necessities made of jade porcelain.

  Zheng Quandao: "The order at this time is almost one-third less than in previous years."

"The newly built latrine is still fragrant for three days!" Xiang Yang said bluntly, "When new porcelain comes out, it will always be lively for a few days. The porcelain used for sacrifices must be white, and no one is afraid of serving a white bowl for dinner. The ancestors jumped out of the coffin."

   I am not very optimistic about the sales of jade porcelain and daily porcelain.

  Song Jiyun agreed with Xiang Yang's opinion. She told Zhou Zheng: "It depends on whether the daily porcelain in our kiln will return to normal in the next few days."

  But she didn't want to be beaten passively like this. She discussed with Xiang Yang, Luo Zixing and others: "I want to burn the glaze."

  The so-called overglaze color is to embellish other colors on the basis of blue and white. The most commonly used color nowadays is vitriol red, which is orange-red when burned.

  Porcelain sales at this time are divided into two parts. One is that everyone wants to entertain guests during festivals; Porcelain with a red tint is sure to sell well.

  Luo Zixing applauded it with high fives, but was worried about the technology: "Everyone knows that the overglaze color of blue and white alum red is good, but the yield is too low and the price is so high that ordinary people may not be able to afford it."

   "Don't worry about the technology, I'll take care of it." Song Jiyun said indifferently, "If you can't afford a complete set, you can buy a pair of discs or a pair of plum vases for decoration. Ordinary people can still afford it."

Wang Dahai flattered Song Jiyun because of the previous incident, and immediately flattered after hearing the words: "Missy is still amazing, and she can come up with such a unique idea. In my opinion, we should listen to Missy, take a risk, and open a kiln. Blue and white alum red glaze. Can't you sell that miserable white sacrificial porcelain?"

   Song Jiyun glanced at him.

  He immediately smiled obsequiously.

   Song Jiyun was a little blindsided. She crossed Wang Dahai and asked Luo Zixing: "The people we were going to transfer to Yucifang, can we temporarily change the glaze color?"

   There are different kinds of porcelain fired, and the people who choose them will also be different.

  The overglaze color needs to be fired twice, once for blue and white at high temperature, and once for alum red at low temperature. And since it is to burn festive colors, it must have festive patterns. Jibai porcelain is different, you only need to make the shape.

While thinking about it, Luo Zixing replied to Song Jiyun: "You can draw people from other workshops. I will arrange this and make sure there is no problem. It is to build a kiln and burn it twice. One kiln needs to be fired twice, and two kilns need to be built. We have to talk to the people from the Changjiang Gang."

   Here in Jingdezhen, there are kiln builders who specialize in building kilns. Because they are all from Changjiang, fellow villagers lead fellow villagers, and clansmen lead clansmen into the industry, so the kiln factories collectively call them "Changjiang Gang".

   "Our family is a big kiln factory, with continuous business throughout the year." Song Jiyun was not worried, and said with a smile, "There is always someone who is willing to do our business first."

  Everyone nodded.

  Everyone discussed some small details, and soon they broke up.

  Hong Xi came to visit at this time.

Song Jiyun hadn't planned to see him at first, but when she went to greet Mrs. Qian, after explaining something, she took Madam Zheng and rushed to pack the clothes and luggage, and when she was about to go to the kiln with Zheng Quan, she saw I saw Hong Xi who was waiting outside the door, and passersby cast curious glances on Hong Xi from time to time.

   She didn't want to cause trouble, so she invited Hong Xi to talk in the sedan chair hall.

  When Hong Xi saw her, he bowed deeply to her, and said, "I didn't expect Miss San to send you an invitation..."

   Can Song Tao's stealing of their family's formula be obliterated without an invitation?

  Song Jiyun said indifferently: "Business is about business. Mr. Hong doesn't have to be like this. There will be more days to deal with in the future!"

Hong Xi hesitated to speak, seeing Zheng Quan standing by the side like a tiger, with a look of "we are going out soon, don't delay our business here", he sighed deeply, and once again turned to Song Jiyun bowed and left the Song family.

  Song Jiyun stayed in the kiln factory for ten days and fired seven kilns in a row. The yield rate of each kiln was between 70% and 80%. A large number of blue and white alum red overglaze porcelains were fired.

  The kiln worker, Luo Zixing and others who were still a little worried at first couldn't help cheering when she successfully fired the eighth kiln.

  The Liangyu Kiln Factory, which was originally crowded side by side and constantly flowing, finally returned to normal after the initial novelty and hustle and bustle.

  Sacrifice white porcelain is still selling well, but daily porcelain has begun to drop sharply. Sometimes there are only one or two orders a day, but no more than three or forty.

  When the Songjia Kiln Factory's blue-and-white alum-red overglaze porcelain was launched, it immediately set off a new high.

"Persimmons and persimmons, many children, many blessings, every step of the way...there are so many styles." Those who came to Jingdezhen to order couldn't believe their eyes, "The offering plates, offering bottles, bowls and plates can also be sold apart. "

   In just two days, the blue-and-white alum-red overglaze porcelain produced by the Songjia Kiln Factory was sold out. There are also many bosses holding bank notes and asking for a deposit, fearing that the Songjiayao factory will raise prices.

  In addition, they still have blue and white porcelain, the business has not only returned to the previous daily prosperity, but even better than before.
