Enter the Room

All said and done, you have to spend a lot of money.

Only if you have money can you talk to the people from the Changjiang Gang.

If you don’t have money, there’s no need to talk.

Fortunately, Mrs. Hong realized it immediately.

He smiled and said: "Our Hong family has nothing but a lot of money. As long as you are willing, I must leave this matter to you!"

Song Tao was waiting for this sentence.

She agreed with a smile, and stood under the tree with Mr. Hong and began to discuss the budget.

Old Mrs. Hong listened for a while and thought it was reasonable. He asked her to draw up a list and just go to the Hong family manager to get the money.

Song Taofeng became very busy.

Song Jiuyun didn't know until the news came out that Liangyu Kiln had built a dragon kiln and was about to open it.

Zhou Zheng was so angry that he turned blue and said: "It was the boss who told them how to build the kiln! They also agreed. Without the consent of the Song family, they cannot build the dragon kiln. Now they dare to violate the agreement, I will sue them and bankrupt them." !”

Song Jiuyun burned alum red in the small kiln at home.

More than a hundred pieces were burned, of which less than fifty were considered to be in complete condition, and the yield was less than 50%.

Others either have ugly colors or uneven glaze colors.

We still have to find ways to improve the process.

Song Jiyun pulled the burnt alum-red six-sided box and said, "Let's listen to what the people from the Changjiang Gang have to say! Their leader should give us an explanation. If they don't give an explanation, we'll go again It’s not too late to sue them.”

Zhou Zheng was still angry.

But he was more attracted by the alum-red six-sided box in Song Jiuyun's hand.

"This, this is the porcelain you fired for Prince Huai's Mansion?" he said in surprise.

Song Jiuyun burned the snow scene.

But this snow scene is different from other snow scenes.

Other snow scenes usually use alum red to dot a few plum blossoms in a blue and white painting. However, the snow scene painted by Song Jiuyun only uses white and alum red, leaving a lot of white space. Using freehand brushwork, the mountains are all deep and shallow. It is white, while other places are originally deep and shallow orange-red. Even the sun is white. Among the misty orange clouds, it is like a setting sun or a rising sun.

And those white ones are obviously the craftsmanship of sweet white porcelain.

Delicate as snow, this snow scene painting is even more dazzling.

Zhou Zheng couldn't move his eyes away: "Which painting master is this from? How could you think of firing it like this? If you use sweet white porcelain as a base, nothing will happen, right?"

"I painted this myself." Song Jiyun said disapprovingly, "I plan to give it to Mr. Yuan."

It's not for sale.

What can the Royal Kiln Factory do to her?

Song Jiuyun adopted the techniques of later oil paintings.

"The glaze is not well controlled. Some places are too thick and some places are too thin." She was not satisfied with this. "I still have to find a way to try it a few more times."

The few pieces that were burned were all given to Prince Huai's Mansion.

The pea green background is made of winter plum, a very traditional technique.

Zhou Zheng couldn't put it down while holding the fragments: "No wonder some people use some fragments to make wall screens."

He suddenly felt that it was a pity that these fragments were lost like this, and he couldn't help but said: "How about we piece these fragments into various screens, and someone will definitely be willing to pay a big price!"

"It's too troublesome!" Song Jiyun disapproved and said to Zhou Zheng, "Can you give me some glaze masters? I feel that I may not be able to fire seven or eight more kilns on my own."

Zhou Zheng took a breath when he heard this and firmly disagreed: "Miss, if you master such a skill, it can be passed down to your family. You can't just rely on your talent for making porcelain and just mess around like this. Prince Huai's Mansion The order, you have to do it yourself. Especially the art of glazing.”

He originally planned to find a few confidants to help Song Jiyun, but now he changed his mind.

But he knew Song Jiyun's laziness very well, and he was afraid that Song Jiyun would get annoyed and give up willfully.

"If you really find it troublesome, I'll ask Luo Jiaqi to help you with the pile." He coaxed Song Jiuyun in a coaxing tone like a child, "Just think about it, when you burn this set of boxes, you have to burn them in Jingdezhen What a sensation it will cause. By then, let alone the Changjiang Gang, even Eunuch Wan will not dare to offend you easily!"

Red has been hailed as auspicious since ancient times.

Their boss can burn this kind of red color. In the future, whenever there is a celebration, it is inevitable to ask their boss to burn something.

And there are many royal celebrations.

If Wan Gonggong dares to show their pity to the kiln factory, they can make it impossible for Wan Gonggong to go on his way.

Zhou Zheng felt a little dizzy just thinking about it.

But Song Jiuyun immediately broke his fantasy: "I don't plan to burn it for others, it's just a small gadget for Mr. Yuan."

She also warned Zhou Zheng: "Do you know why the cooks in the Imperial Dining Room never feed the emperor seasonal vegetables? That's because if the emperor has a whim and wants to eat beans in winter and cabbage in summer, the cook in the Imperial Dining Room will be hanged. I can't. I don’t want to be the cook in the imperial kitchen!”

The chance of making porcelain is too high.

What's more, the ones that Song Jiuyun wants to burn rely entirely on the depth of color to outline the pattern.

Zhou Zheng sneered.

Song Jiyun asked Zhou Zheng to help her smash the unfired porcelain fragments into powder: "It's too ugly! It's better not to keep it for people to laugh at!"

Zhou Zheng had no choice but to help Song Jiyun work.

A young boy ran in and said, "Boss Yao from the Changjiang Gang is here. He said he is here to plead guilty to you. He is kneeling at the gate waiting for you to be punished!"

Song Jiyun couldn't help but glance at Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "I'm gone, just go and deal with it."

She decided to bake another kiln of six-sided boxes while she was in the mood, and by the way, she also burned the remaining porcelain from Prince Huai's palace.

Anyway, burning one piece is still burning, and burning two pieces is still burning. Why not save some money and burn as many pieces as you can.

When Zhou Zheng heard the news, he became angry with the Changjiang Gang. When he heard that Song Jiyun asked him to deal with it, he could not hold back. He hurriedly confessed to Song Jiyun and left the Song family's small workshop.

Song Jiuyun knew that the porcelain she fired was unlikely to be successful at one time, so she prepared many porcelain blanks with good scenery.

She continued to blow glaze onto the porcelain blank.

Zhou Zheng returned after two hours.

He told Song Jiyun: "The people who fired porcelain for Liangyu Kiln Factory were from another group of people from the Changjiang Gang. They had the same ancestor but a different master. Liangyu Kiln Factory promised a lot of money, and they tried to find a way to build kilns for our kiln. They learned some key technologies, and this happened. They have already told the elders of the guild that they want to open an ancestral hall. At most, they will give us an explanation in the next few days. Let us give them some grace. sky.

"Furthermore, they said they would compensate us - build the kiln for free for ten years."

If a unique technique can be passed down from generation to generation, more people will naturally come up with ideas.

Song Jiyun felt that this was inevitable.

As for the free kiln construction for ten years, although it can serve as a warning to those who have evil intentions towards the Song Kiln Factory, the income of those who help them build the kiln will be greatly reduced, and their food and drink will not be guaranteed. Who will say anything? What etiquette and shame? At that time, it will be even more difficult to manage, let alone keep technology from leaking out.

"That's not necessary." Song Jiyun smiled and shook his head and said, "If they really want to compensate us, then they can build us a kiln properly, with the same time and the same price, and our kiln factory will always have priority. !”

Zhou Zheng felt that this treatment was too light.

Song Jiyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, they have rules and regulations, we don't need to worry about them."

Otherwise, the Changjiang Gang would have dispersed long ago.
