Siheyuan: Beginning with a Ceramic Artist

"really weird…".

Qin Huairu's face had always been aggrieved. She turned to look at He Yuzhu and said softly.

"Thank you! I'm fine".

Qin Huairu's tone was very light and weak.

Then she entered the house.

He Yuzhu looked very strange when she saw her, but it was hard to ask what to ask now. It was late at night. It seemed a bit wrong for a man and a widow to be together, and he was going to enter the house.He Yuzhu, who was approaching the house, saw the two people who were looking at the stars.

"What are you doing here?".

He Yuzhu asked He Yutong and He Yuyu.

Seeing her elder brother coming, He Yuyu explained to He Yuzhu with a smile.

"I'm watching the stars with my second brother, it's very beautiful...".

He Yuzhu also looked up at the stars in the sky.

some doubts.

"What's so beautiful about stars?"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he looked at the two and asked.

"I'll cook for you now..."

He Yutong answered.

"No need! I have eaten with Rain today, so I don't have to do it today."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised.

"Have you eaten?".

He Yutong nodded.

"Today I have a rest, I am at home all day today, and I ate dinner in the afternoon...".

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Is that so...".

At this time, He Yuzhu seemed to remember something. He just noticed that Qin Huairu was wrong, so he asked the two of them.

"What happened to Qin Huairu today? Why is it so weird?".

He Yutong didn't expect that He Yuzhu would ask this. Did the two of them meet just now?

When He Yutong was still thinking about these questions, He Yuyu immediately became interested when he heard this question, so he immediately told He Yuzhu what happened today.He Yuzhu frowned after hearing this.

Seems to be thinking about something.

He Yutong looked at He Yuzhu's face a little wrong, so he decided to test him.

"Are you worried about her?".

He Yuzhu shook his head.

"It's hard to say...".

He Yutong asked again.

"Why is it bad to say?".

He Yuzhu didn't explain anything, but the answer was hard to say.

He Yuyu was a little confused when he heard this.

He Yutong comforted him.

"Some things are beyond our control, and you are not her, are you?".

He Yutong's words made He Yuzhu a little silent.

?ooo

He Yutong didn't know if he heard what he said, but he went to work anyway.

The work still has to go on, otherwise, it will starve to death, in this day and age.

labour is the honour.

He Yutong showed Master Hu the plates that had been colored last time. Master Hu said that it was not bad, and there was basically no problem, so he asked He Yutong to take these plates to the kiln master to burn the first fire.Fix the bright black paint first.

Yan Hei is not like pearl material, it can't be pulled out after burning, but pearl material can be pulled out...

He Yutong took the ten plates to Master Liu, who was burning the kiln.

At this time, Master Liu was opening a kiln.

As soon as He Yutong entered the kiln workshop, he felt a heat wave coming towards him.

What the hell!

so hot...

It has to be fifty or sixty degrees, right?

He Yutong saw that Master Liu, who was burning the kiln, was shirtless and was working on the kiln.

There are always hundreds of pieces of porcelain, some large and small, and many broken pieces.

There's still a lot of color on those broken tiles.

In the jargon of the ceramic world, this is called a test stove.

That is to test the color. After all, a pigment is painted with one color, and it is another color when it is fired. When the firing temperature is different, it is another color. Therefore, a lot of experiments are needed to record the color changes at various temperatures. This will give the artist a reference.

The more and more detailed the data, the better it will let the artist know what effects might be produced.

Seeing that Master Liu was sweating, He Yutong greeted him.

"Master Liu!".

"Are you opening a kiln today?

"How many kilns are opened in a few days?".

Master Liu saw that He Yutong was coming, and responded to He Yutong with a smile.

"It is you! ".

"You're here today to help me move the kiln? %

He Yutong smiled and shook his head.

"I'm afraid I'm running out of time today. Master Hu asked me to come and burn these Western-colored plates."

When Master Liu heard that it was Master Hu's plate, he said to He Yutong.

"Since it's Master Hu's plate, I'll be the first to cook it today."

"Master Hu said what requirements did you have?".

He Yutong thought for a while to answer.

"I didn't say it! It was the first fire."

Master Liu seemed to think of something at this time, and his brows furrowed.

He Yutong looked at Master Liu curiously.

"What's wrong? ".

"Can't you burn today?

Master Liu nodded.

"You told Master Hu that today's arrangement above is to burn blue and white, and this new color will definitely not be burnt...".

He Yutong also expressed understanding when he heard Master Liu's words.

Because the temperature for firing blue and white is different from that for firing new color.

The new color is generally fired at a temperature between 700 and 800 degrees, while the blue and white is between 1000 and 1200 degrees.

If it exceeds this temperature or is lower than this temperature, the finished product will become alarmed or cracked, but the specific temperature of the firing is controlled by the kiln master.So He Yutong nodded.

"That's good! I'll go tell Master Hu...".

Chapter [-] The sudden and difficult task

He Yutong told Master Hu about the things that could not be fired today. Master Hu said that he could understand. After all, this kind of thing is often encountered. For example, production is planned. It does not mean that whoever finishes painting today will be burned today. drawn.

This is not the case.

The firing plan is made by specialized people, such as blue and white firing today and glaze on-glaze firing tomorrow.

What the kiln master can help is only to make the ceramics painted by the painter have a suitable position.

When He Yutong was about to ask Master Hu what he was going to do today, Xiao Deng, the assistant of the factory manager, came to find Master Hu, so He Yutong didn't say what he was going to say.

Then Xiao Deng told Master Hu.

"Master Hu! The factory manager asked me to come and find you to go to his office."

Master Hu nodded, then took off his sleeve and put it on the table.

Immediately followed Xiao Deng to the factory director's office.

When Director Chen saw Master Hu coming, a smile appeared on his face.

"Master Hu! You are finally here, come come come...".

"Sit down"

too? *oooo

Director Chen made a cup of tea for Master Hu with a freshly washed tea cup, and then brought it to the place where Master Hu was sitting.

Seeing Director Chen's diligence, Master Hu suddenly wondered, what's going on?
