Chapter 302 Discovery of Porcelain Clay

"My little cousin gave it to this general, it's very pretty!" Xuanyuanchen said proudly.

"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful, and it's even carved." Huotoujun is a teenage gossip boy.

These bowls were made by Luo Yansong for Chu Lixiang. They were a set of three large, medium and small bowls.

The first set at that time, Luo Yansong disliked that the work was not precise enough, so he made three more for Chu Lixiang.

The three bowls in Xuanyuanchen's hands were naturally the three bowls that were not well done and were disliked.

But Xuanyuanchen doesn't know! He spared no expense, and he was very precious, "It is the carvings that are precious."

When the other soldiers saw Xuanyuanchen's bowl, they also slammed it. In their eyes, it was indeed very beautiful.

"Wooden bowls are better than coarse porcelain bowls, they won't break, but according to the lady Tianxian, we can burn ceramic bowls, and they're the kind that won't break easily."

A thousand households said that he has now learned to burn kilns, and Mrs. Tianxian also praised him for his talent.

If you learn how to make bowls, that's great! Even after retirement, you can support your family.

Qianhu is a fifth-rank official. Normally, if he is killed in battle, he is bigger than the magistrate, and he also has a salary when he retires.

However, this thousand households are called Zhou Daniu, and he has signed up for the election to follow Zhao Yu.

"How do you know so clearly?" I don't even know, sir!

"The last general is now learning how to burn kilns, so I heard them say that today the lady of the fairy will go to the mountain to teach people how to make ceramic bowls."

Zhou Daniu told the truth, this is something that many people know, and he was not eavesdropping on it alone.

"Are you full? If you are full, go up the mountain." After Xuanyuan Chen finished speaking, he hurried to eat.

doesn't show off his bowls anymore, he also wants to see if ceramic bowls are so easy to make.

The soldiers of the Northern Army in Zhenbei voluntarily went up the mountain to make bricks and fired bricks after breakfast. The trees cut down on the mountain had already been split and placed in the kiln entrance.

There is a strong north wind in this snowy field. The mud bricks that have been made have been air-dried in two days, and they may have been frozen.

Anyway, it can be fired in the kiln. When the empty kiln is heated, put bricks, a row of mud bricks, and a row of split wood firewood.

When Chu Lixiang and Jiang Xinyan arrived, they saw that they were in Shangyao, "Not bad, really good, they learned quickly and did a good job."

Xuanyuanchen saw Chu Lixuan and his wife, he didn't dare to call his eldest nephew, "Hello, Mrs. Fairy, are we doing this right?"

Big guy! Chu Lixiang told Xuanyuan Chen this word, saying that the boss is a very, very powerful being.

He was just looking for something to say, and he was so close. This was all after several times of training, how could there be anything wrong!

Zhou Daniu stood at the mouth of the kiln and listened. He also pricked up his ears to hear the praise last time.

"It's done very well, better than Mrs. Ben imagined. Who is in charge of this kiln?"

Jiang Xinyan was happy when she saw the sunny and handsome Xuanyuanchen, so she casually gossips.

Each kiln has several heads, and she doesn't expect to know them.

"It's the general who is in charge. If there is something wrong, please advise me." Zhou Daniu was very excited and hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

Jiang Xinyan looked up and saw a young man in his twenties, black and strong, with straight facial features and thick lips.

According to physiognomy, such a person is honest and sincere, and attaches great importance to feelings. "Let's take a look first. So far, you have done a good job. You have to read the details before evaluating."

Jiang Xinyan's voice was very nice to hear, and in the ears of those who admired her, it sounded even more heavenly.

Zhou Daniu is a person who is praised, and he is even more excited.

Chu Lixuan usually doesn't speak easily in front of outsiders, and everyone is used to it, especially at this time, he exudes a gentle aura.

Jiang Xinyan checked it carefully, "Yeah! Every step is done well, just fill the kiln, and the kiln can be fired when it is full."

"Mrs. Fairy, it is said that you can also make ceramic bowls?" Xuanyuanchen forgot.

Jiang Xinyan is younger than him, one year younger than him, and he was so happy that he even used his honorary title.

"Well! Last time I found a piece of porcelain clay on the other side of the mountain, which can be used to make ceramic bowls, cups..."

"Then let's go over and see? Is there any difference between porcelain clay and brick clay?" Xuanyuanchen asked humbly, mainly because he was too curious.

"Porcelain clay is milky white mud..." Jiang Xinyan and Xuanyuanchen popularized the process of porcelain clay and making ceramics.

Porcelain mud must be selected, washed, and weighed according to the production formula before making ceramic bowls.

Pulverize it into balls, after reaching the required fineness, remove iron, sieve, and then according to different molding methods.

The slurry used for machine molding is dewatered by pressure filtration, vacuum refined, reserved, and then processed to become the finished slurry.

The forming process is divided into roll forming and grouting, and then drying, trimming, and spare.

Firing process, after obtaining the white billet, it is put into the kiln for biscuit firing, after finishing, glazing, and glaze firing, the white porcelain after leaving the kiln is selected to obtain a qualified white porcelain bowl.

"My God! This sounds so difficult!" Xuanyuanchen wailed.

"Then you heard that when you make bricks and then burn them in the kiln, do you feel difficult when you finally turn them into bricks?"

"Yeah! I thought it was impossible to burn it at the time. I thought it was very complicated. Now that I see it is about to succeed, I think it is actually very simple."

Xuanyuanchen said embarrassedly, he felt a little ashamed because he didn't understand it just now.

Fortunately, there are several guards beside him, and I will go back and ask them later, and then think about it.

Zhao Yu and Bing Soul followed behind Chu Lixuan and the others, and the two of them understood a big story.

Ice Soul sent a message to Zhao Yu in secret voice: "Your wife is so powerful?"

Zhao Yu also used a secret voice to convey the words to Bing Po: "It's what our grandfather said yesterday, you know, our grandfather doesn't like to talk."

"I'm scared to death! It's normal for your father to understand this, but your wife is also very good. She speaks vividly, as if she understands."

"Our wife is talented and smart and has a good memory."

"You guys, eat well every day, how did you get so many takins yesterday?"

Zhao Yu: "..." I want to know too!

"It was hunted by our father, and I brought my brothers to move back. I wanted to call you, hey!"

"Why didn't you call us?" The strangest thing about Ice Soul was that he didn't hear any movement.

"We shipped back and forth, thinking that you would come out to help, but I kept thinking that you should come with us next time!"

Zhao Yu was talking nonsense without any pressure, and he had been listening to it for several months.

As a result, nothing was found. It should have been hunted by the Chu family army on the mountain and sent to the gate of Zhenbei Army.

Actually, Chu Yi and the others are no better than Zhao Yu in their martial arts now, but Chu Yi and the others are good at hiding.
