Chapter 153 Saliva is also a nirvana
Green represents mystery, beauty, holiness, and nobility, and is an expression of admiration, respect, dignity, and elegance.It is also the main color of nature, the color of green mountains and green pine, a symbol of vitality, respect and love for life.

People believe that green is a symbol of vitality and spring, and it is a good wish for natural wealth, health and longevity, and a happy life.

Looking up at the blue sky, overlooking the green hills, and stroking the green leaves up close, the blue color is everywhere, which makes people feel pleasing and refreshing.The grass beside the green river is full of old people's hearts.

No matter when and where, that touch of blue or green always brings boundless imagination, like a green carpet paved with young leaves and buds, making people stop and savor it, making people feel refreshed and lingering. The simplicity flows with infinite Poetic.

Seeing that Su Yuan was satisfied, Liao Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The land and water support the people. We have outstanding people in Longquan. The Fengyang Mountain at the source of the Oujiang River is a sea of ​​forests. Huangmaojian is 1929 meters above sea level, with peaks and mountains stretching for [-] miles to the east. Lishui encompasses Cangshan Mountain and connects Wuyi to the south with many beautiful trees."

"The tall trees are verdant and beautiful, the bamboo sea is colorful; the mountain springs are murmuring, the water is rushing; the pheasants and tits are cuckoos, and the orchids and herbs are fragrant. The source of the kiln is famous in ancient times."

Lao Feng continued: "There are also rich reserves of porcelain clay, lush vegetation, and pleasant climate, which laid the foundation for the long-term vigorous development of Longquan Kiln in history. Therefore, celadon is determined by various factors such as special water quality, blank, climate, material salary, and glaze. The quality is noble and elegant.”

Su Yuan laughed loudly, patted Liao Tian on the shoulder and said: "Work hard, as long as you can burn high-quality goods, send them directly to the island country, so that the little devils know what it means to be overestimated!"

Lao Feng and Liao Tian looked at each other, unable to suppress their excitement, it would be absolutely shameless for someone to say this.But Su Yuan was different. With Long Yuan, the so-called famous sword in the world that the little devil called, swept away thousands of troops and killed all directions.

Sujia sword shops have blossomed everywhere, not only in the national chain, but also in island countries and even in Europe. They really let traditional crafts go abroad and win the respect and pursuit of collectors all over the world.

Money is no longer the decisive factor for the two of them. If Linglong Celadon can really be reproduced and shock overseas, wouldn't it be a great thing to be famous forever?

Su Yuan left the workshop, left the rest to Liao Tian for glazing, and agreed to open the kiln for the first time in three days, looking forward to the effect of the first batch of works.

Three days later, when he came to the kiln entrance again, Lao Feng was already ready. He had found four or five strong young men who had a clear division of labor and performed their duties in a busy but not chaotic manner.

Can't help sighing: "Now I'm old, when I was young, I worked seven or eight hours a day, carrying saggers weighing fifty or sixty tons in the kiln, and lifting them back and forth."

"In summer, the temperature in the kiln is often [-] to [-] degrees. With bare arms, water can be squeezed out of the shorts. I can lift a sagger of [-] catties at a time, no worse than a weightlifter!"

He brought Su Yuan to the kiln entrance, and introduced: "The volume of the steamed bun kiln is 150 cubic meters, and there is only one firewood opening. The kiln is six meters long and has to be fired from the front to the back, so it is prone to local high temperature. Even some saggers could not stand the height and collapsed, blocking part of the fire path."

"When encountering such a situation, we can only clear the fire, burn it shallowly, rely on the force of the furnace to exchange hot and cold air evenly, and reduce the temperature difference between front and back. If the local temperature is too high, the color of the fire will be dazzling and emit silver light. Master Zhuang's eyesight."

"Master, get ready to pay homage to Master Fenghuo."

An apprentice ran up next to him. Old Feng nodded and led Su Yuan to the main entrance of the kiln. Everyone stood in front, neatly arranged, with tributes placed on the table and a memorial tablet in the middle.

"This is a ritual that must be performed before firing the kiln, to worship the Fenghuo Immortal Master."

"According to legend, the only master who made a name for himself in history was during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the JDZ imperial kiln factory wanted to bake a batch of large blue and white dragon vats. Because the firing was very difficult, it took a long time to complete."

"Tong Bin, the master of the pile, jumped into the kiln in desperation, used bones as salary, and died in the fire. After opening the kiln a few days later, he found that the big dragon cylinder was fired successfully. On the east side, the Yutao Ling Temple was built for Tong Bin, and Tong Bin was granted the title of Fenghuo Immortal Master."

"start!"

After the worship was completed, Lao Feng looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Put the sagger!"

The apprentices hurriedly moved the plain tires out of the car, sprinkled old chaff ash on the bottom of the sagger, added cake pads on top, and coated kaolin on the side that was in contact with the porcelain. On the one hand, the porcelain is not easy to stick to the bottom after leaving the kiln.

Glaze without ash is impossible!
Glaze ash, also known as two ash, is Langjichai, a kind of fern mixed with mineral materials such as limestone, which is made by extrusion and other steps, and then fired.

"it is good!"

A loud sound was heard in the wooden shed, full of power. This sound was a signal for the kiln workers to add firewood. The kiln workers were as busy as worker ants, throwing the piled pine firewood into the kiln entrance.

Lao Feng slowly sat down on a wooden chair, calm as a mountain and showing his domineering attitude.Su Yuan nodded secretly, this is the momentum and majesty that a veteran should have.

Looking at the busy figures everywhere, it feels like being on a movie set.Lao Feng is the chief director, and he is fully responsible. With an order, he started preparations.

The blank is loaded first, depending on the size of the blank, choose a sagger that meets the specifications. When loading, it must be clean and stable without any tilting or shaking. Hold the blank in your hand or use a fine cloth strip to put the blank in the sagger.

The saggers with the green body are transported to the kiln hall. The kiln workers arrange the saggers in a stacked and vertical order according to the refractory requirements of the glaze and the porcelain standards. The saggers in the entire kiln should be arranged in separate rows and are stable and stable. Inclined, there must be a gap for the firework to flow in the middle.

The firewood for the kiln is mainly sawn and split into firewood pieces from pine trees. This is because pine wood has a lot of oil and has a long flame, which is durable to burn.The firewood pickers pick the firewood from the wharf, through the streets and alleys to the kiln.

"ignition!"

Lao Feng stood up, took the torch from his apprentice, slowly came to the entrance of the kiln, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Open the kiln!"

Everyone shouted together, the voice was loud and full of momentum.Even Su Yuan couldn't help being infected and became excited.

After lighting the kiln fire, Lao Feng and Su Yuan sat down and chatted. Now they don’t need to do physical labor anymore. They go to watch the fire from time to time, and observe the chimney outside the kiln shed from time to time to judge the smoke exhausting ability.

Porcelain pieces are placed in different positions in the kiln, which are called photozi by insiders. The red-hot photozi are hooked out with hooks and cooled in cold water. This is done to reduce the error in judging the temperature.

A few hours later, Lao Feng came to the fire viewing port and spit directly into the kiln. When the temperature was high, the degree of combustion and evaporation of the spit spit into the kiln chamber was used to help determine the temperature.

The old man's face was flushed by the flames. With 40 years of working experience, spitting is already a trivial matter for him.
