Chapter 2068 Sensation

Xu Fang was almost out of patience and said sternly: "Hurry up and burn it!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The masters of the Meng family were afraid of Xu Fang, so they hurriedly started to work. After working for an hour, the kiln was closed to start firing porcelain.

Another long three days of waiting.

During this period, Xu You wrote a letter in person asking, why has the first kiln of porcelain not been fired after several days?

Xu Fang was scolded by Xu You, and then turned around and scorned the Meng family, which made everyone have a hard time in the past three days. The atmosphere in the Meng family porcelain kiln was like the extremely sultry heat before a midsummer thunderstorm, and everyone was anxious and depressed. It doesn’t work.

However, the irony is that after three days, when the kiln was opened again to inspect the porcelain, 70% of the porcelain taken out was still damaged, but at least 30% of the porcelain was visible.

But these porcelains are not considered high-quality porcelain at all. They are just the porcelain used by wealthy families for eating. They cannot even be used to make tea cups.

"Mr. Meng, it's embarrassing to make these porcelain tea cups out to meet guests. This is what you said, the amazing secret recipe left by the ancestor of the Meng family!" Xu Fang was so angry that he wanted to draw a knife and chop Mr. Meng.

Mr. Meng frowned and said: "Master Fang, porcelain is not blue bricks, it is more bad than good. It is even harder to get high-quality porcelain. These old men have told you a long time ago, and the Marquis also wrote back and said, it doesn't matter, first of all If you burn it for a period of time, you can always produce high-quality porcelain."

Now you are so angry at me again, what's going on?

I am the Marquis’s in-laws!

Mr. Meng also had a temper, so he said: "I will ask the masters to look at the porcelain kiln and find out why there are so many bad porcelains. Mr. Fang, don't be anxious."

Then he said: "Master Fang has some errands in the government office. If it is not convenient to stay here for a long time, you can go back to the government office first. I will send someone to inform you after the high-quality porcelain is fired."

This old immortal wants to drive him away!

Xu Fang suppressed his anger and bowed to Mr. Meng: "Mr. Meng, please calm down. I am too impatient. Please don't get angry... let someone take a look at the porcelain kiln first and prepare to fire the third kiln of porcelain."

Seeing that he had relented, Mr. Meng felt relieved. He turned around and called the masters and ordered them to inspect the porcelain kiln again.

Xu Fang also took two of the Xu family's confidants to see the porcelain kiln... The Meng family's porcelain-firing skills must be learned by the Xu family, and if they want to learn the porcelain-firing skills, they have to start from the porcelain kiln.

…

While Xu Fang and the others were still looking for problems with the porcelain kiln, Qingniu Shanzhuangzi had already produced good porcelain, and it was good porcelain that had been glazed and then refired.

"The color is white and bright, with no bad glaze, no cracks, and no odor. It's done. The porcelain is really fired!" After Uncle He waited for the porcelain to cool down, he picked up the porcelain and inspected it. His hands were shaking with excitement. What made him even more excited was that The porcelain kiln built by Lao Lu is actually a kind of porcelain kiln that has never been seen before. It only takes one day and night to burn the green embryo!

Uncle He is knowledgeable and knows that it usually takes more than three days to fully bake porcelain, but Lao Lu was able to make it in a one-day kiln, which is simply amazing.

"Lao Lu, was your ancestor a master craftsman in charge of the royal porcelain kiln?" Uncle He asked. It must be so. Ordinary royal porcelain kiln craftsmen do not have such skills.

After hearing this, Uncle Lu's expression changed and he hurriedly said: "Laohe, you are joking...this happened hundreds of years ago, don't mention it again."

This is the default.

Uncle He laughed when he heard this and said: "Old Lu, you don't need to be nervous. This is the Chu Dynasty now. Things that happened hundreds of years ago have long since passed away like our ancestors. You don't need to worry anymore."

Uncle Lu smiled, but still begged: "Lao He, Meng Baihu, I take out this craft, firstly to repay my benefactor to the master's family, secondly to redeem the lives of my future grandchildren, thirdly for the sick and wounded soldiers, and I don’t want any high-ranking official or generous salary... If something unexpected happens in the future, please ask the Zhong family and General Jiang to protect the Lu family. Don’t let me, or at least don’t let my two sons, be sent to the capital."

This was because he was worried that his craftsmanship would be too good and he would be recruited into the palace by the emperor, so he asked them for permission.

Meng Hong was the first to say: "Uncle Lu, don't worry, you are the benefactor of the wounded and sick soldiers. Uncle Jiang will not see you in trouble."

Uncle He thought for a while and then nodded: "Don't worry, Lao Lu, even if you make such an eye-catching one-day kiln, with the Zhong family's ability, we can still keep you."

However, Uncle He said it too early.

When Lao Lu personally held a long shovel and shoveled out the porcelain from the porcelain kiln, he took out a kind of adhesive tape and threw it into the porcelain cup. Then he poured in the prepared water, blended the adhesive tape into the porcelain, and made a After the new porcelain was planted, Uncle He wanted to cut his own tongue!

"I, I just saw a painting in the porcelain cup, and then it disappeared, but I'm old and my eyesight is dazzled?" Uncle He was a little confused and asked Meng Hong next to him.

Meng Hong was stunned for a long time. He didn't look at him at all. Instead, he pointed at Lao Lu, looked at Qin Sanlang and asked, "Brother Qin, your family has bought a fairy, right?"

My dear, there is really a painting in that tea cup, and it will disappear. Only gods can have such ability, right? !

Qin Sanlang's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Brother Meng, don't talk nonsense. There are no gods. This is a kind of color-changing porcelain that existed in the Zhou Dynasty. There is nothing surprising."

Meng Hong grabbed Uncle He, pointed at Qin Sanlang and said, "Do you think this is human language? It's nothing surprising. If I hadn't been in good health, I would have been shocked to death!"

Qin Sanlang was still very calm, and looked rather disdainful of the discolored porcelain: "It's just an ancient technique to please others. Brother Meng, don't be surprised."

Then, he explained the principle of porcelain when heated, and took out a few small stones of different colors to show them: "It is made of these rare colored stones... These things have been buried since the beginning of time." They are in the ground, but we don’t know how to use them. However, during the Great Zhou Dynasty, some people were able to use them and used them to make porcelain that appeared when heated. Later, the ancestors of Uncle Lu’s family were fortunate enough to learn this craft and pass it on to them. Come down."

"But Uncle Lu's family also got into trouble because of this craft. The three clans almost died. In the end, they stayed anonymous for hundreds of years and two dynasties before they dared to show off this craft."

After Qin Sanlang finished speaking, he looked at Uncle He and Meng Hong: "So not only is Uncle Lu asking you, but I am also asking you to protect Uncle Lu when this kind of porcelain that becomes hot when exposed to heat comes out... If you agree, we will Let’s make this kind of porcelain that changes color when heated. If it doesn’t work, we won’t make this kind of color-changing porcelain, and we will just make ordinary porcelain and sell it.”

After saying that, he picked up the boiling kettle on the side and poured the hot water into the previous porcelain cup.

As soon as hot water enters the tea cup, a colorful painting quickly appears in the colorless white porcelain.

It was a simple picture of a farmer holding wheat. The farmer's smiling face, the golden wheat field, and the red pomegranate fruit hanging on the pomegranate tree next to it all conveyed vitality and the joy of harvest, making people happy just by looking at it.

When the people present saw the painting in the tea cup, they were all shocked and speechless.

Meng Hong was the first to react and shouted: "Do it, why not make such a good thing! If anyone dares to come and snatch it, I will lead my troops and beat them down. In short, this is something we have worked hard to make. It depends on We use it to recuperate the sick and wounded soldiers, so we can’t stop doing it just because our stuff is so good and we’re afraid people will rob it!”
