Reborn Glazer

In the days that followed, Song Qingyi started self-study in the study for two hours every morning, went back to his room at noon to have dinner with Zhengjun, and consulted with his father in the afternoon, which was not much worse than the effort he had put in in the academy.

Master Song is naturally very comforted.

Only Song Qingyi himself knew that what he was doing now was much more serious than the angry play he had made during the college entrance examination.

Although Song Qingyi had never been in contact with the skill of a glazed craftsman, and was somewhat repelled by inheriting the craftsman's family, after all, he grew up in such a family, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he still has a certain understanding of the inheritance of glazed glass.It was only after earnest and systematic study that he realized that this skill has more history and foundation than he knew.

Colored glaze is not a native product. It came from the west more than a thousand years ago. It was loved by emperors because of its color. It was even honored as the first of the five famous wares including gold, silver, jade, colored glaze, ceramics, and bronze. Because of its translucence and beauty, it is listed as the seven treasures of Buddhism together with gold, silver, amber, coral, giant clam and agate.Liuli has a long history of inheritance, the techniques have changed from rough at the beginning to the present, and the styles are gradually enriched.From the glass sand of the earliest glass tube beads, to the dragonfly eyes with persimmon stalks and coiled snake patterns, to monochrome imitation jade, crystal thin tires, rich and colorful necklaces, and now to the glazed glaze and glaze that reflect the light and color Decorated with jewels and emeralds in rich colors and styles. *

The introductions of these miscellaneous systems were all recorded in the books sent by Master Song. They were originally used by Song Qingyi to be interspersed in the ledger, but later on, he was asked to put down the ledger and read it seriously.

Song Qingyi boasted to Liuli that he didn't know how to make glass, but he knew how to appreciate it.The beauty of colored glaze is that it is crystal clear, rich and gorgeous in color, and at the same time, it is natural and self-contained, and there is no beauty of repetition.When he said this in the past, he could only be regarded as knowing why he didn’t know why. He knew how much colored glaze was worth, and what kind of colored glaze was considered top-grade. Those skills of changing are completely incomprehensible, but as the son of the Song family, these are the most important and should be understood.

Flipping through Song Qingyi, I came across several books on the foundation of the Song family's manufacturing techniques.

The basis of the Song family’s craft is actually the technique that is popular among all living beings today. The folk craftsman of the previous dynasty once summarized the glaze making technique in his books handed down to later generations——fired by adding "glaze stone" to "glaze mother".Liuli stone is a kind of natural pearl and jade, which has all five colors, and is born naturally due to the good fortune of the universe.The so-called glass mother is extracted from various ores to catalyze the change of glass stones and finally form the formula of crystal clear glass of various colors.The difference between the families of glazed makers of each faction is the difference in the formula of each colored glaze mother.And this is also the foundation of the Song family, which makes the Song family stand out from other glazed craftsmen's families.

The book sent by Mr. Song even mentioned the raw materials that can be used for the color of colored glaze-white five, purple one, Lingzi doubles purple, and crystal; White three, purple one, Lingzi like purple, add a little copper and iron filings, and plum calyx red; white three, purple one, remove the ling, add copper, remove the iron, get plum calyx Blue; the method is like white Yan, hook with copper moraine, you can get autumn yellow; the method is like crystal, hook with bowl stone, you can get blue; the method is like white, add lead, the more the better, you can get white teeth; the method is like tooth white, add it If iron is used, it will be black; if you add copper to it, you will get green; if you add copper to it, you will get green; *

Song Qingyi looked at it amusedly, took out a box from the antique shelf behind him, opened it, and inside were small glazed items of various colors, including dragonfly eyes, beaded jade hairpins, and various bracelets.Single-color, two-color, and even a few exquisite three-color colored glazes.You must know that with the current colored glaze techniques, most of the colored glazes produced are single-color colored glaze, and there are also three-color and four-color colored glazes, but there are much fewer than the former ones.In the Song family, only three or more colors can be regarded as high-quality products, four colors are enough for the court, five colors are rare in the court, and six colors and seven colors are the creations of heaven and earth. , It's nothing more than that colorful glass cup.

Song Qingyi rubbed the small pieces in his hand one by one, comparing the colors on them with the materials mentioned in the book.After careful inspection, I found that although the records in these books are mixed, many important points have been blurred. It takes a few minutes to go to Qiling, a few minutes to get copper, and a few minutes to iron to get a blue colored glaze.

But this is still a general introductory book after all, or when he learns the crafting technique in the future, there will be a more specific formula in front of him.Song Qingyi caressed the dragonfly eye with persimmon stalk pattern on his hand, thinking that in his previous life he was never willing to learn about colored glaze techniques, but he didn't expect that this time he calmed down and took a closer look, not only did he not force it, but he found pleasure in it.I don't know what I rebelled against in my previous life.

The smile on the corner of his mouth carried a trace of mockery to himself, Song Qingyi shook his head, and stopped thinking about it, no amount of remorse would help, it would be better to take a serious look at the account books, learn the skills, inherit the family business as soon as possible, prop up the family, let Parents can rest assured that they will avoid such a tragic and powerless ending in the previous life.

Because Song Qingyi unexpectedly showed a little interest in glass making skills, Master Song happily sent Uncle Nan to teach him two hours a day.That's why Song Qingyi knew that when Mr. Song came to the kiln, Uncle Nan was the most outstanding mold maker and color burner in the kiln at that time. He left the kiln because Mr. Song valued him, but even so, he would leave Song every once in a while. He led disciples in the kiln under the mansion, and followed a few important orders. It was not until he injured his hand that he gradually concentrated on following Master Song.

In his previous life, he had never been interested in family business, and his father never let Uncle Nan come over, so he hadn't heard about it, but he remembered that when he was young, Uncle Nan was the second steward of the outer court, and he would often leave for a while. .

With Uncle Nan by his side, Song Qingyi's progress in reading books was faster. Maybe it was because he already had a certain talent for Liuli, and he was able to raise many questions and opinions by drawing inferences from some descriptions in the book, which surprised Uncle Nan.

Probably because Uncle Nan mentioned Song Qingyi's performance during this period in front of Master Song, he was summoned to the study by his father within a few days.

When the father and son met again, without the stiff atmosphere that Song Qingyi had when he woke up for the first time, Master Song rarely looked at his legitimate son who had caused him a lot of headaches with gratified eyes.

"The Liuli of the Song family is a skill. Although reading books is good, you need to get used to it to understand it quickly. Let Yu Nan take you to the factory kiln in a few days."

In an unexpected and reasonable conversation, his father waited for him to turn around for too long, probably because he was afraid that his rare rise would be suppressed by boring theories, so he made some urgent arrangements for him.

Song Qingyi, the son of man, respectfully accepted his father's kindness.For him, learning his own glass-making skills is also the most urgent thing in front of him.
