The fire in the blacksmith's shop burned for several days. Before that, Yanzai asked Xiongtao where he found the kaolin clay, and of course the source of the materials Xi Zhong found for making glass for Yijun.
After trekking for a few days, everyone came back and found that there were many people around the blacksmith shop. Of course, they were all the big guys who had nothing to do, such as the teacher Qiao Song, Mr. Wu Pan, Prince Changqin, and even
The old patriarch....
There are also some friends who have returned from hunting, and some tribesmen who are resting idle.
Human nature is to join in the fun, not to mention such a big thing happened a few days ago. New special pottery was released. The guys in the blacksmith shop have never let the tribe down.
When Yu Zai took a closer look, it turned out that it was the first glass product that looked like it had been freshly baked.
The process of glass blowing is to make the glass easier to shape and deform, not to say that it must be done to make glass. Glass blowing was fully mastered around the Northern Wei Dynasty, and at least it was widely popularized throughout the world during this period. Of course,
These turbid things have a better name than glass.
That is Liuli.
The sword of King Gou Jian of Yue had these glasses, but they were used for decoration. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, glass products had spread all over the world, and the activity of making glass beads had already begun during the Warring States Period.
Of course, the ancient Egyptians took longer to play with glass beads, which fully proves that human beings are a bunch of fools who only know how to play with glass beads....
In a tomb in the Western Han Dynasty, a glass spear was even unearthed...
It's really something only you can imagine that no craftsman can do.
Without blowing, if you make it casually, the finished product will most likely be the product of the "evil god" made by Yijun. Juzai is a little confused after looking at it. What the hell is this...
"It's really difficult to make this thing. Fortunately, I'm one of the rare geniuses in the world, so I can control the heat perfectly. How about that, Ah Hong can't make this thing?"
Yijun looked at the red thing in front of him, and there were a lot of people watching here. Under the gaze of everyone, the glass vat that had not completely faded from the high temperature made the faces of these people shine red.
of.
"Zhu Rong!"
Chisongzi glanced at Prince Changqin, and the little animals also stared with big eyes, very curious.
At this moment, when the high-temperature light has not dissipated, the first impact that pops up in people's minds is the word Zhu Rong, and Prince Changqin is no exception.
Fire brings hope and a future to mankind.
Bronze, pottery, lime....
Now, fire has once again created a miracle.
Compared with the previous Xishen product, this product obviously looks much better, but it doesn't stop there.
"The casting of colored glaze requires a mold...it is best to blow..."
Yu Zai said to himself that the glass casting molds during the Warring States Period were very simple, just ordinary inverted molds with a stone or something on top to suppress the liquid glass, and that would be enough...
As for glass blowing, it still requires skillful hands.
Glass is something that can promote scientific and technological points, and it can be used to set right and wrong points. In contrast, as for porcelain, temporarily removing the ginseng fruit does not seem to be of much use...
The value of anything should be estimated based on the current situation. The flood had just subsided, and Yu Zai estimated the time. From Xiang's mouth and Shi Jing's words, he could infer that Dahe would also be in trouble this year.
Gun's time for flood control had come, but after nine years of failure, the river collapsed.
Therefore, the Central Plains should also have suffered disasters. Pottery is an indispensable thing for rebuilding homes, and the technology, kilns, and firing techniques required for porcelain are more troublesome. In the process of rebuilding homes, porcelain is not as popular as pottery.
However, the key point is that after production is resumed, the demand for porcelain will exceed that of pottery. The porcelain of this era is not exquisite blue and white porcelain. The function of original porcelain is the same as that of pottery. It is widely used for daily hoarding of supplies, construction, and sacrifices.
The degree of porcelain of primitive porcelain is only a little higher than that of stoneware. It can be said that it has half a foot on the threshold of mature porcelain, but it is like a little girl who refuses to get in. So don't think that primitive porcelain is blue and white porcelain.
It’s a precious thing to grow. In fact, on the surface, this thing looks no different from clay pottery.
But the difference lies inside. Although primitive porcelain is primitive, it is much stronger and stronger than pottery, and most importantly, it does not seep much water compared to pottery.
Yuzai thought about it for a while, and of course good things must be made and popularized. Pottery is now about to evolve, and only when primitive porcelain is glazed can it be called porcelain. Glaze is easy to make, and the most important raw material is "chalk".
That is, limestone, this stuff, Huanzai bought a lot of it in Chaisang Mountain when he first came here.
The role of glazing is not only beautiful! You know, if you take a chestnut, pottery is a warrior without clothes, primitive porcelain is a warrior wearing animal skins, and glazing is a warrior wearing armor.
"When productivity recovers, good pottery, no, primitive porcelain will be resold to the Central Plains, and you will definitely be able to buy a lot of money. High-quality things are always loved by people..."
Agricultural industry is the production demand, while commercial trade is to promote prosperity. Shennong already understood this truth 800 years ago.
Yu Zai was muttering in her heart and kept looking at Xiong Tao.
Yes, the tribe of this stinky boy Xiongtao is the famous Kongsang clan. It was the tribe that Emperor Shun helped when he went to make soy sauce. It is a tribe that specializes in the pottery industry. If this stinky boy succeeds in learning skills, he can run away.
If you go back, you will cut off your own sales.
"No, I have to find a way to make him repeat the grade."
Here, Yu Zai is thinking about how to become a black-hearted dean. Over there, a few old gentlemen are holding pottery and beginning to recall their lost youth under the sunset.
"such a pity..."
Mr. Wu Pan held the original porcelain and said with emotion: "During the Yellow Emperor's time, Ning Fengzi thought hard about making pottery, and finally it was reduced to ashes due to an accident. Maybe he wanted to make something like this, but
At that time, the methods were still very primitive, and if you rashly increased the divine fire, the final price was extremely heavy."
Chi Songzi was also very emotional after hearing this.
Ning Fengzi was a famous fire practitioner who was named Tao Zheng under the Yellow Emperor. He wanted to improve the method of making pottery, but in the end he died due to an accident and was transformed into the flames.
The blue smoke disappears.
"That's a genius. What a pity..."
Seeing the current pottery, and then looking at Yijun who was sweating profusely, Wu Pan couldn't help but think that what Zeng Zanzai said is really true. Sometimes it's not your peers who defeat you, but those who cross the border.
Although no one would rub nuclear bombs with their hands in ancient times, there were many production accidents, including poisoning incidents, medical problems, burning furnaces, and mine collapses...
Compared to the original porcelain, which was not very good-looking, the little animals were more interested in the glass thing. Guzi’s little eyes were wide open. Although the glass was turbid, its little head was instantly filled with splendor.
color.
And those who saw everything here through a certain small animal were two Qigong Masters from the South China Sea.
