  Chapter 185

   After all, a lot of money has to be spent.

   Only when you have money can you talk to people from the Changjiang Gang.

  No money, no need to talk about it.

   Fortunately, Mrs. Hong realized it immediately.

  He smiled and said: "Our Hong family has nothing but a lot of money. As long as you are willing, this matter must be left to you!"

  Song Tao was waiting for this sentence.

  She responded with a smile, and started discussing the budget with Mrs. Hong standing under the tree.

  Old Master Hong listened to it, and thought it was reasonable, so he asked her to draw up a list, and just ask the chief manager of the Hong family to get the money.

   Song Tao became busy in a hurry.

   Song Jiyun didn't know until the news that Liangyu Kiln Factory built a dragon kiln and planned to open the kiln came out.

Zhou Zheng was so angry that his face turned blue, and he said: "At the beginning, the owner told them how to build the kiln! They also agreed, and without the consent of the Song family, they could not build the dragon kiln. Now that they dare to violate the agreement, I will sue them for bankruptcy. !"

  Song Cuiyun burns alum red in a small kiln at home.

   More than one hundred pieces were burnt, and less than fifty pieces can be called complete, and the yield rate is less than 50%.

  Others are either unsightly in color or uneven in glaze color.

   You have to find a way to improve the process.

Song Jiyun was picking at the burnt aluminium-red six-sided box, and said, "Let's listen to what the Changjiang gang has to say! Their leading boss should give us an explanation. If they don't have an explanation, we'll go It's not too late to tell them."

  Zhou Zheng was still furious.

   But he was more attracted by the alum red six-sided box in Song Jiyun's hand.

   "This, this is the porcelain you fired for Prince Huai's Mansion?" He said in amazement.

  Song Cumulus burned the snow scene.

   But this snow scene is different from other snow scenes.

In other snow scenes, a few branches of plum blossoms are usually dotted with alum red in a blue and white painting, but Song Cuiyun’s snow scene pictures only use white and alum red, leaving a lot of white space. With freehand brushwork, the mountains are all deep and shallow The other places are originally deep and shallow orange red, and even the sun is also white. Among the misty orange clouds, it looks like a setting sun or a rising sun.

   And those whites are obviously sweet white porcelain craftsmanship.

  Delicate as snow, making this snow scene painting more dazzling.

  Zhou Zheng couldn't move his eyes: "Which master painting is this from? How did you think of firing it like this? If you use sweet white porcelain as the base, nothing will happen, right?"

   "I drew this myself." Song Jiyun said disapprovingly, "I plan to give it to Mr. Yuan."

   It's not for sale.

  What can the Royal Kiln Factory do to her.

  Song Cuiyun adopted the oil painting techniques of later generations.

   "The glaze is not mastered well, some places are too thick, and some places are too thin." She is not satisfied with this, "I have to find a way to try a few more times."

   Those pieces that were burnt were all given to Duke Huai's residence.

  The background color of bean green is Samuume, a very traditional technique.

   Zhou Zheng couldn't put it down holding the fragments: "No wonder some people use some fragments to make wall screens."

  He suddenly felt that it was a pity that these fragments were lost like this, and he couldn't help saying: "If we put these fragments together into various screens, someone must be willing to pay a big price!"

   "It's too troublesome!" Song Jiyun disapproved, and said to Zhou Zhengdao, "Can you give me some glaze masters? I feel that depending on myself, it may not be possible to burn another seven or eight kilns."

Zhou Zheng gasped when he heard the words, and firmly disagreed: "Miss, if someone masters such a skill, he can pass it on to the family. You can't rely on your talent for firing porcelain and just mess around like this. order, you have to do it yourself. Especially the skill of glazing."

   He originally planned to find some confidantes to help Song Jiyun, but now he changed his mind.

  But he is too aware of Song Jiyun's inertia, he is afraid that Song Jiyun will get annoyed and give up willfully.

"If you really find it troublesome, I'll ask Luo Jiaqi to do it for you." He coaxed Song Jiyun in a childlike tone, "Think about it, when you burn this set of boxes, it will be in Jingdezhen What a commotion it caused. Let alone the Changjiang Gang, even Eunuch Wan will not dare to offend you easily!"

  Red has been hailed as auspicious since ancient times.

  Their owner can burn this kind of red, so whenever it comes to celebrations in the future, it is necessary to invite their owner to burn things.

   And there are extraordinarily many royal celebrations.

  If Eunuch Wan dares to show them the face of the kiln factory, they will be able to make him take the bus.

  Zhou Zheng felt a little giddy when he thought about it.

   But Song Jiyun immediately shattered his fantasy: "I'm not going to burn it for others, but it's just a gadget for Mr. Yuan."

She also warned Zhou Zheng: "Do you know why the cooks in Yushanji never serve seasonal vegetables to the emperor? That's because if the emperor has a whim, if he wants to eat beans in winter and cabbage in summer, the cook in the imperial dining room will have to hang himself. I don’t want to be the cook of that imperial dining room!”

  The chance of firing porcelain is too high.

   What's more, it is like the one that Song Cuyun wants to burn, which relies on the depth of the color to outline the pattern.

   Zhou Zheng laughed.

  Song Jiyun asked Zhou Zheng to help her smash the unfired porcelain fragments into powder: "It's too ugly! Don't keep it for people to laugh at!"

  Zhou Zheng had no choice but to help Song Jiyun with work.

  A young man ran in and said, "Boss Yao from the Changjiang gang is here, and he said he came to make an apology for you. He is kneeling at the gate and waiting for your punishment!"

  Song Jiyun couldn't help but glanced at Zhou Zheng, and said with a smile: "I'm gone, you can just deal with it."

  She decided to burn another six-sided box when she was in the mood, and by the way burned the remaining porcelain from Duke Huai's residence.

  Anyway, burning one piece is still burning, and burning two pieces is also burning. It is better to save some money and burn as many pieces as you can.

   Zhou Zheng was very angry with the Changjiang gang when he heard the news. He heard that Song Jiyun asked him to deal with it, so he couldn't bear it. He hurriedly confessed to Song Jiyun and left the Song family's small workshop.

  Song Jiyun knew that the porcelain she fired was unlikely to be a one-time success, so she prepared a lot of good-looking porcelain blanks.

  She continued to blow glaze on the porcelain blank.

   Zhou Zheng returned after two hours.

He told Song Jiyun: "The ones who fired porcelain for the Liangyu Kiln Factory were another group of Changjiang Gang, who had the same ancestor as them and different masters. Liangyu Kiln Factory promised a lot of money, and they tried to find a way to build kilns for our kiln factory. This happened because they knew some key technologies. They have already told the elders of the guild that the elders are going to open the ancestral hall. They will give us an explanation in a few days at most. Let us give them a little grace. sky.

  “Then they said they would compensate us—build a kiln for free for ten years.”

  Unique technology can be passed on from family to family, so naturally more people will come up with ideas.

  Song Jiyun felt that this was unavoidable.

As for the kilns that have been built for free for ten years, although it can serve as a warning to those who plot against the Song Family Kiln Factory, but those who help them build kilns will lose their income sharply, and there is no way to guarantee food and drink. Who would say that? What etiquette and shame? At that time, it will be even more difficult to manage, let alone keep the technology from leaking out.

"That's not necessary." Song Jiyun shook his head with a smile, and said, "If they really want to compensate us, they can build kilns for us. At the same time, at the same price, our kiln factory will always have the priority. !"

  Zhou Zheng felt that such a treatment was too light.

  Song Jiyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, they have rules, we don't need to worry about them."

   Otherwise, the Changjiang gang would have dispersed early.
