Chapter 6 Beautiful glaze, porcelain reborn from ashes!

Zhao Chen did not paint on porcelain.

The official kiln porcelain of the Southern Song Dynasty won the glaze color and was known for its shape. It has a solemn and elegant beauty, and pursues the concept of minimalism.

There are no patterns on the porcelain porcelains of the Southern Song Dynasty official kilns unearthed now.

However, Zhao Chen was the young master of Xiu Nei Si Guan Kiln after all. He knew that the actual official kiln porcelain was porcelain with patterns, but it was very rare.

Those porcelains are only for the emperor's purpose, and are painted with dragon-shaped patterns on them.

Although Zhao Chen had the skill of "the master of painting", it was not enough to fire the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain.

He took out the brush, dipped it in some clean water, and slowly outlined it on the porcelain blank.

There are more than 150 people in the live broadcast room. These people don’t know porcelain and don’t know what Zhao Chen is doing.

Use clean water to outline the surface of the porcelain blank? What is this? Performance art?

Even the people from the Southern Song Guan Kiln Museum did not know what Zhao Chen was doing.

This step is a very critical step in making official kiln porcelain.

Then, Zhao Chen took out another plastic bucket like a paint bucket. The lid of the plastic bucket was tightly tucked. Zhao Chen opened the lid, and suddenly, a dark blue liquid that was as sticky as paint appeared in front of everyone.

"These are glazes I made myself, and they are also relatively private recipes."

"The next step is the most critical and difficult step in making porcelain, that is, glaze!"

Zhao Chen focused on the porcelain in his hand and told him softly.

His voice was clear and gentle, making people feel very comfortable after listening to it.

Glazing is the top priority in making porcelain. The well-made porcelain blank lacks rhythm, is rough and astringent. Only after glazing can the porcelain blank show different smooth and bright colors.

The glaze color of the official kiln porcelain of the Southern Song Dynasty was even more important.

There are many ways to glaze, such as immersing the porcelain directly into the glaze, or spraying the porcelain blank with a watering can, or pouring it from top to bottom.

Zhao Chen chose to brush glaze, which was to use different brushes to paint the porcelain blank.

At this time, Zhao Chen lit the fire of the kiln.

The furnace burns natural gas, and there is a control program that can control the temperature of the furnace.

This is also the benefit of technological changes. In the past, when repairing the official kiln, we could only add coal continuously, and someone had to uninterruptedly pull the bellows to ensure the temperature of the kiln.

Glazing is not that simple, and it is the biggest knowledge of official kiln porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Simply put, it is to burn low-temperature staples many times, water and glaze multiple times, until the glaze is completely finished, and then put it in a firing kiln for about a day before the finished product can be produced.

Then, netizens in the live broadcast room saw Zhao Chen alone, applying dark blue glaze on the jade bottle from top to bottom, and then put the bottle into a firing kiln to fire.

After a while, continue to repeat this step.

This is true for all five-sided porcelain blanks.

He was immersed in his own world intently.

This is his world.

The thousand-year-old kiln fire continues.

After dozens of processes, the porcelain blanks have gradually become more refined.

They are like phoenixes reborn from the fire.

People in the live broadcast room come and go, some people leave after a glance, some people find it interesting and watch it for a while, and some people post barrage and sigh.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Chen put all the five square porcelain pieces in the kiln, and finally got the job done.

At this moment, there were more than 300 people in the live broadcast room. And 10 people gave him gifts. Although they were all gifts worth a few dollars, they were also everyone's wishes.

Before we knew it, there were already stars outside.

[This anchor is really good, the glaze painted is so beautiful!]

[I don’t know which one I learned from, this craft is amazing!]

[Is the anchor doing the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain? You can apply for a job at the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln museum in Nanxing Street, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, and maybe you can be an apprentice!]

[Can you cook it tomorrow night? Click to follow first and come and watch it when it starts tomorrow.]

Zhao Chen looked at the mobile phone screen, and the barrage in the live broadcast room obviously became much more common.

"It's already evening."

Zhao Chen moved his body a few times and tried to expel all the fatigue.

His stomach also felt a little hungry.

Zhao Chen was in a good mood and had a smile on his face.

These five-sided porcelains are very successful at present, with their glazing and shape perfect.

I just don’t know whether the thickness of the porcelain blank is uniform when making the blank, and whether the color of the burned glaze will be complete.

"That's all for today's live broadcast. Thank you for watching."

Zhao Chen told netizens in the live broadcast room and then turned off the live broadcast.

[See you tomorrow!]

[Looking forward to the appearance of porcelain after the kiln opening.]

Several barrages floated by.

After turning off the live broadcast, Zhao Chen walked out of the yard.

Two little foxes hugged each other by the wall and slept soundly against the wall.

The door of the yard was covered with a large gap, which was specially left by Zhao Chen for the female fox.

He was wondering if the female fox would turn back and take the little fox away.

But it was already 11 o'clock in the evening and the female fox never came back.

Zhao Chen sighed.

He came out of the house with a full mattress, folded it in half, and folded it into a soft little bed.

Zhao Chen placed the mattress by the wall, then gently picked up the two little foxes and placed them on the mattress.

The younger sister slept soundly, while the older brother suddenly woke up.

The little guy glanced at Zhao Chen, then continued to hug his sister, closed his eyes and went to sleep. The corners of his mouth were still raised, as if he was very satisfied with having a new home.

After taking a shower, Zhao Chen returned to the room and fell asleep.

The moonlight was quiet, and even the sound of insects in the forest was silent.

......

The next day, the weather was clear.

In the early morning, Zhao Chen got up and finished washing up. He took advantage of the temperature not rising and checked the ground in the vegetable garden, pulled out some weeds.

Then, he went to the kiln to check the situation of the fire.

The kiln drawn in the system lottery operates very well, and the fire and temperature have always remained within a stable range.

It only takes a day to quench the porcelain blanks in the stove to be born from fire, turning from stones and mud into precious porcelain.

The two little foxes have woken up and are playing in the yard.

"I have to give you a name, my brother is called Coke and my sister is called Juice."

"That's it."

Zhao Chen smiled and said to himself.

Zhao Chen likes both Coke and Juice.

He was not used to drinking wine, but he had a special liking for drinks. After all, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were no such delicious drinks.

"Cola!" Zhao Chen looked at the little fox and shouted.

Brother Fox looked at Zhao Chen with a cute face, as if he was wondering, "Are you calling me?"

"Cola, open a small door from the back of the yard for you. You will go to the forest behind you to pee in the future."

Zhao Chen tried to communicate with the little fox.

The little fox tilted his head, his big watery eyes were full of curiosity, and he looked particularly cute.

The fox sister hid behind her brother, looking at Zhao Chen carefully, with a timid expression and very interesting.

Zhao Chen took out the drone, debugged it briefly, and then chose to start the live broadcast.
