The theoretical techniques of porcelain making were mastered as soon as he returned to sleep, but after "waking up", Zhou Yan found that things were a bit difficult: the theory was a set of things, but he was blinded by the practice, and he needed to practice.
If internal affairs are not decided, there will be a ferry.
Initially, Zhou Yan didn't have much hope, but after searching online, he discovered that there was a cultural tourism village with a porcelain theme near the capital.
What an unexpected surprise!
The next day, Zhou Yan drove to the Ceramic Cultural Tourism Village in Shunyi, spent a thousand yuan, and joined a group of primary school students to "play in mud".
With the blessing of "money power", the porcelain clay obtained by Zhou Yan was much larger than that of the primary school student beside him.
Before being put on the turntable for shaping, the porcelain clay needs to be beaten continuously to break out the air mixed in with the clay. Otherwise, the air will expand into bubbles when the porcelain is fired, causing the object to deform and twist.
After the air has been knocked out, you can place it on the pottery wheel and shape it.
For the first time, Zhou Yan just wanted to familiarize himself with the process. The shape of the utensils was not too complicated. He just made a plate, a plum vase less than 20 centimeters and a palm-sized tea can with a lid.
After the shape of the vessel was repaired, the park carefully labeled all the porcelain bodies and sent them to the drying room for drying.
While the porcelain embryo was drying, Zhou Yan approached the porcelain master who was in charge of guidance and planned to make some "excessive" requests.
"Master Liu, can you make porcelain alone in your ceramic village?"
It has been explained above that the Mr. Zhou in front of him is a "distinguished guest", so Master Liu did not dare to be careless and quickly contacted the garden.
"Mr. Zhou, to tell you the truth, the firing process of porcelain is a bit dangerous..."
Zhou Yan went straight to the point: "Money is not a problem!"
"We will send professional masters recruited from JDZ to guide you!"
"Also," Zhou Yan thought for a moment, "do you have all the glazes here?"
"Of course, all the glazes we have here come from JDZ..."
The person in charge of the garden was extremely happy: he had been taken advantage of, and the batch of high-end aged glazes that had been imported into the garden could finally be cleared out of stock.
Although the glaze formulas of Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, Ding and other kilns in the Song Dynasty are already translucent in modern times, these glazes are not very popular among people outside the collection circle because their colors are a bit "earthy"
.
The Song kiln glazes in the Cultural Industrial Park were purchased from JDZ during the period when antiques were popular. But after the goods were purchased, no matter how much the park promoted them, few people played with them...
Zhou Yan is a krypton gold user, so he naturally enjoys extraordinary treatment: when glazing, he does not need to do it himself, the garden has already adjusted the glaze water.
Zhou Yan planned to use the three pieces of wares to imitate the Ru kiln, so they needed to be fully glazed, that is, they had to be glazed from beginning to end without missing anything. Therefore, after the wares were completely dry, support nails were added underneath.
After the glaze on the outside of the embryo is dry, it can be placed in the kiln for firing.
Due to the strict environmental protection regulations in the metropolitan area, it is naturally impossible for porcelain kilns to burn wood and coal, and can only use gas. In this way, the porcelain fired may not have a rustic flavor, but the temperature is easy to control and convenient.
In addition to the "blue as blue" feature of Ru kiln, another significant feature is "opening", the surface of the porcelain is covered with dense cracks.
To achieve "opening", the principle is very simple. Thermal expansion and contraction, using the difference in the expansion rate of the device embryo and the outer enamel, at the end of firing, artificially speed up the cooling...
Although the Ceramic Village has equipped Zhou Yan with master craftsmen with "exquisite craftsmanship", these masters have only fired ordinary porcelain before and are not very familiar with the firing process of antique porcelain.
Watching Zhou Yan burn to a certain temperature, keep it warm for a while and then turn off the gas, the "master" who was in charge of the guidance didn't take it seriously: he was another big dog who liked to mess around.
Moreover, a few minutes later, the crisp sound of shattering porcelain could be heard faintly from the furnace, which confirmed the masters' inferences.
"Ding dong..."
Zhou Yan squatted beside the furnace happily, listening to the sweet opening sound in the furnace, which made a sound...
After a while, the sound of opening the film gradually stopped.
"Well, Mr. Zhou, it's almost time, it's time to start the furnace..."
"Can!"
Zhou Yan nodded, put a fire-resistant glove on his hand, and opened the kiln door...
"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I'm waiting for you..."
Seeing the flash of azure that suddenly appeared in the kiln, several masters were dumbfounded: What is going on?
"How can it be?"
Are you here to cause trouble?
Seeing all the masters staring at him with confusion on their faces, Zhou Yan smiled shyly: "I've played before, I want to see if my craftsmanship is new!"
In the evening, before leaving, Zhou Yan struck while the iron was hot and made a large number of small-sized utensil embryos, which he handed over to the garden for drying.
After finishing the work, Zhou Yan found a hotel nearby to stay.
The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Yan did not go to the Ceramics Park immediately. Instead, he ran to the University of Chemical Technology in Chaoyang to buy a batch of materials.
After returning to the ceramic village, Zhou Yan glazed the dried pottery embryo with the azure glaze of the Ru kiln. Zhou Yan wanted to make porcelain that imitated the official kiln, but the porcelain clay in the ceramic village was too high-grade and contained too little iron.
No, the "golden iron wire" of the official kiln cannot be fired.
In the afternoon, another batch of "Azure and Misty Rain" came out of the kiln. The yield was extremely high, which made a group of master instructors who were watching the fun all feel depressed: they had lived like dogs for half their lives.
By the time Zhou Yan fired the sacrificial red glaze on the third day, a group of master craftsmen were already used to it...
On the fourth day, a group of master chefs who were watching the excitement were finally happy: the wealthy businessman named Zhou was finally in trouble, and he burned out a pair of black thick-tired bowls. Looking at the guy's shocked expression,
It obviously failed.
"It really failed!"
What Zhou Yan planned to make was Jianzhan, a type of porcelain that Tang Ying had never been exposed to. Moreover, the firing information was all Zhou Yan tried to reconstruct based on the information he accidentally saw in his previous life.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although he failed, Zhou Yan was still a little happy. Jianzhan was already somewhat interesting, but it still lacked a little enthusiasm.
During the lunch break, Zhou Yan got into the system space and experimented for a whole year.
On the fifth day, Zhou Yan succeeded.
Looking at the "Konoha lamp" with maple leaves on the bottom of the bowl on the table and the legendary "Yachan Tianmu lamp", the group of masters who originally planned to watch the excitement felt a chill in their backs in the summer: this is
Have you seen a ghost?
It is not very troublesome to burn the so-called "wooden leaf lamp" with paper, but after applying the glaze, you need to press a leaf on the bottom of the object instead of putting leaves into the red-hot bowl like in many videos.
, watering.
As for the legendary "Yahua Tianmu Lamp", Zhou Yan actually made a trick: when making the embryo, he added a lot of iron oxide powder that had been magnetized with magnets into the porcelain clay; when firing, the oxidation in the porcelain body was
The iron powder attracts the iron element in the glaze, causing the kiln to change, eventually forming a gorgeous starry sky.
The Yaoban Tianmu Zhan was fired, and Zhou Yan's Master Badge mission was once again completed in an unconventional way: the reward system points were 5,000, and the wood kiln firing craftsmanship was rewarded.
After staying in Porcelain Village for nearly six days, Zhou Yan returned to the city with full harvest, and Xinghan Holdings' acquisition of Zhengda Technology also came to an end...
"Boss, have you gone to Panjiayuan for a big purchase?" Seeing Zhou Yan directing the company's security guards to move the porcelain upstairs, Deng Zhuo was a little dumbfounded. "How much money did you spend? I will reimburse you later!"
"Ten thousand yuan, as for that?" Zhou Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and ordered to the security guard on the side, "You can measure the dimensions later and go to Liulichang or Panjiayuan to purchase a batch of top-quality wooden boxes!"
After saying that, Zhou Yan took out the newly burned illuminant celestial eye lamp from the trunk of the car and handed it over: "Here, this is my personal reward for you!"
"Yaubian Tianmu Zhan?" Deng Zhuo's eyes widened, "You must have looted the major museums in Japan, right?"
"Of course I made it myself!" Zhou Yan chuckled and took out the "Konoha Cup" again, "This is for Frank, let's put it here first..."
"Okay!" Deng Zhuo nodded, "The acquisition of Fangzheng Technology has basically come to an end, with a total price of 1.8 billion!"
"Not bad!" Zhou Yan nodded and thought for a moment, "Old Deng, do you have any good suggestions for Fang Zheng's future business strategy?"
