Reborn Glazer

Song Qingyi didn't think there was anything wrong with his awkwardness at first, but now standing here quietly looking at the back of his Zhengjun seriously, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have paid more attention to Zhengjun than he originally wanted to be a couple. As a couple who are also friends and companions, who respect each other like guests, he doesn't know what his feelings are for Qi Runyun now. If he was a partner who planned to support each other at the beginning, then his awkward mood has already been exceeded. After meeting Qi Runyun, Song Qingyi felt that he didn't have that feeling of heartbeat at first sight, and he wouldn't miss him even if he left, so what is he now?

Worrying in his heart, Song Qingyi's breath was a little heavy, probably because he felt something strange, Qi Runyun, who had been staring at the matter in hand, subconsciously looked back, but when he saw Song Qingyi, he stopped.

"Duanjin?" Xu changed his words before, but this time Qi Runyun called Song Qingyi's words more naturally.

"It's okay, let's see you, how about it?" Song Qingyi put away the random thoughts in his heart, and walked over naturally.

"I found different recipes and kneaded different soil materials to see how it feels, and then I made a few molds, some are good and some are bad." While pinching the clay in his hand, Qi Runyun answered Song Qingyi's words.

Although Qi Runyun did not let go of the Qi family's craftsmanship, most of the materials he could come into contact with in Xiliyuan for so many years were ordinary mud. Although Master Song did not object to him practicing this craftsmanship, it was impossible to prepare materials for him thoroughly, so he could There are only a few kinds of coming and going.This visit to the kiln factory is the first time that he has full access to all the materials at will, so he is almost familiar with the properties of the soil these days.

Song Qingyi looked along the place Qi Runyun pointed out to him, and sure enough there were several dry or wet molds on the shelf by the wall.Different from the clay sculptures made by my own Zhengjun before, these molds are female molds—that is, concave molds, which are molds used for filling, which are naturally quite different from the clay sculptures used for viewing.

It can be seen that this is a hand-made work, the shape of the mold is not very neat, but the engraved patterns are very detailed.Song Qingyi picked up a mold and looked at it carefully. When the two halves of the mold were closed, it could be seen that the inner shape was a semicircle.Song Qingyi guessed that it should be the mold of a bowl or a cup.

"I've been looking at the materials for the past two days, and it's almost done. I told Mr. Zheng to let him burn a small piece with me tomorrow, so I'll use your mold?" What a dry model, Song Qingyi said suddenly.

Qi Runyun was a little surprised. He thought that the time was not enough, so he would burn small pieces tomorrow.However, he didn't object, he just shook his head at the mold in Song Qingyi's hand, "This soil material was randomly prepared for hand practice, and it shouldn't be able to withstand the filling. I'll knead and carve a new one later."

How could Song Qingyi fail to see his surprise, and said with a little self-deprecation, "The age when I was ignorant and really learned crafts has long passed. At my age, my father also knows that he can only learn superficial things at most, so he came here to treat you. For a period of time, I mainly came to see the process, understand the general craftsmanship and the firing of colored glaze, and I can try my hands, but it is really difficult to completely burn a thing like a craftsman, at least the heat and the color of the glaze. I can only rely on Old Zheng to help me see." Although he had some ideas in his mind, and discussed some ideas with Yue Zhang, but he really had to experiment with many subtle places and had to rely on others to help him observe, there was no way these skills were needed. Accumulated by time and experience.

Hearing Song Qingyi's words, Qi Runyun frowned, but just like the sudden intimacy of the night before, he didn't ask, but turned around and continued with the matter in hand, "I'll make the mold later, and take it to the kiln tomorrow."

On the second day, Qi Runyun got up earlier than Song Qingyi, and only after asking Liuguang Song Qingyi found out that Zhengjun took Lingbao to the bungalow before dawn.

Recalling that he said yesterday that he would hand over the mold to the kiln today, Song Qingyi frowned, and after giving Liu Guang a few instructions, he got up and went to the kiln first—today he wanted to burn a small piece by himself, although Old Zheng had to do the whole process. Followed, but the old head Zheng also spoke, since he wants to burn it by himself, he must do the preparation work himself, so that he can know the whole process of a piece of colored glaze from burning to finished product.So he also went to the kiln earlier.

Burning kiln is not actually a place name, but a general term, which is the place where all the glazed kilns are located. This is the place where Liulichang occupies the largest area, because of the relationship between the three dragon kilns.One dragon kiln occupies an area of ​​more than ten feet, which is not the largest. The largest of the three dragon kilns in the Liulichang of the Song family is 23 feet, not to mention the land occupied by other flat kilns, gourd kilns, and steamed bun kilns. distance between them for safety.The firing kiln alone has already occupied most of the south of the hill.

Because Song Qingyi fired only a small piece for the first time, and because from easy to difficult, Old Zheng gave him advice to burn monochrome first, so this time he will only use a few small kilns that are usually idle.Song Qingyi was brought by Old Zheng to see the kiln yesterday, so he knew the location of the kiln, but he was worried that his Zhengjun would not be able to find it later, so he left Liu Guang at the intersection.

Now that he and Qi Runyun had ordered a bowl-shaped mold, Song Qingyi had a plan in mind, planning to burn a glass bowl that was always translucent and purple.So when I saw Lao Zhengtou at the kiln, he was taken to pick ore in the ore basket.

"I'm learning colored glaze. After three years of beneficiation and three years of watching the fire, the first sentence of the master is that firing colored glaze and ceramic glaze is the same principle. Burning ore at high temperature and burning color at low temperature." Old Zheng looked at it from the side. Watching Song Qingyi choose horse tooth stone and Lingzi stone - these are the necessary ores for burning purple colored glaze, while talking about what he did as an apprentice when he was young - after a few days, the humble and studious young master has begun to win a little favor from the craftsman , from the respectful at the beginning to now can chat a few homely.

Song Qingyi listened to old Zhengtou's words, and thought about the combination method of monochrome purple glaze that he had read in his book: "White is like frost, clean and square, horse tooth stone is like horse teeth, purple is like Ying, like stars, and purple stone is also white. Five, purple one, Lingzi doubles purple, you get crystal; white three, purple one, Lingzi is like purple." The difference between the records of ancient methods and the present is not very big.

It seems that what my father sent over was not just ordinary craftsman's records, but also some secret recipes of the Song family.Song Qingyi pursed his lips, and sighed because of his father's intentions, then put other thoughts away and carefully selected the ore.

Qi Runyun didn't come too late. Song Qingyi had just selected the mine, and Liu Guang had already led him to the kiln, naturally carrying the agreed mold in his hand.

Song Qingyi was just lifting up the hem of his robe and squatting to pick up ores, and was about to stand up, but his Zhengjun came over and paused for a while, imitating his hem and squatting down, handing over the mold in his hand, "Watch you burn."

Song Qingyi was stunned, not surprised by his words, but just surprised by this person's actions - he remembered that this person's stubbornness and seriousness in his previous life were not only because of his temper, but also because of his polite manners.Song Qingyi never thought that the two people squatting on the ground facing each other like this would happen.
