There were many processes involved in the production of porcelain from kaolin. Fortunately, there was no shortage of everything here.
The old man's name was Li Zhan.
When they were chatting, the old man had proudly said that their ancestor's surname was not Li. It was because their ancestor's craftsmanship of firing the Tang tri-colored glazed pottery was the best in Luoyang's East Kiln, so they were given the surname Li.
Too much time had passed, and it was impossible to verify whether it was true or not. However, Li Zhan was indeed a good hand at making the Tri-colored glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty.
The two of them worked together to select some high-quality soil from the kaolin.
Some of the selected kaolins were in one piece, and they had to be pounded at this time.
Gu Yiran held a large piece of clay with great effort.
Then, he placed it into the stone mortar.
The stone mortar was a large stone with a groove in the middle. Kaolin was placed into it, and a wooden stick was used to chisel the large piece of kaolin into powder.
In this process, there was not much craftsmanship to talk about. It was nothing more than a physical work to crush the clay more thoroughly.
"Yiran, do you really know how to burn Tang Sancai?”
At this point, Xu Shuai was still in disbelief.
Are all the people selling fake goods in Pan Jiayuan so hardcore now?
Do you need to start from scratch instead of trying to fool others with your words?
"Haha." Gu Yiran smiled faintly and said," You've helped me a lot this time. After burning it, I'll give you a Tang Sancai. It should be able to sell for tens of millions.”
Xu Shuai was dumbfounded.
Could the tri-colored glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty, which was worth tens of millions, be forged?
One had to know that even if it was the real Tang Sancai, only a few high-quality products could be auctioned for tens of millions of dollars.
"Stop bragging." Xu Shuai's face turned red." It's good enough that the things you make look good."”
Haha.
Ignorance was truly terrifying.
Gu Yiran didn't want to compete anymore. In a few days, she would use the truth to slap Xu Shuai in the face!
He wasn't worried that Xu Shuai would expose the fake Tang Sancai.
It was needless to say how close the two of them were.
Moreover, he was only a person who burned the Tri-colored glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty. There were countless craftsmen in Luoyang and Xi'an who burned the Tri-colored glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty.
The people who really defined them as fakes and sold them at sky-high prices were the traffickers like Xu Shuai.
If word got out, Xu Shuai would be the one in jail.
"Master, it's already been handled." Li Zhan walked over at this moment.
The different types of porcelain clay had already been processed and were waiting for Gu Yiran to process them into embryos.
Gu Yiran nodded and said,"This time, I'll use your things to teach you a new skill!"”
Gu Yiran stood up and walked to the porcelain clay of different colors.
The beauty of the tri-colored glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty lay in its rich colors. The overall color was unpredictable. Before it was out of the kiln, no one knew what the color on the surface would flow into.
However, there were many steps to deal with the embryo of the Tang tri-colored glazed pottery.
The first method was to use glaze to draw different patterns on the surface when the embryo was created. To a certain extent, it could control the generation of some colors of the Tri-colored Tang Dynasty.
The other method was to engrave various techniques on the surface of the embryo.
The last method was more difficult. He had to do it before the embryo was formed.
This was a skill that required a high level of skill.
Gu Yiran observed for a few days and confirmed that Li Zhan definitely did not know how to cook.
Gu Yiran came to the two piles of porcelain clay that had been processed.
This was white and brown porcelain clay.
Gu Yiran picked out some porcelain clay from each pile and mixed them together.
"Stirring the tires?" Li Zhan frowned slightly, thinking of a craft that he had heard of a long time ago.
Seeing Li Zhan's reaction, Xu Shuai was dumbfounded. He subconsciously asked,"What's a stir?"
"This is a kind of ceramic craft. The embryo formed by mixing two different types of porcelain clay will form a wood-like texture on the surface of the ceramic when it is fired.”
Li Zhan was overjoyed.
Strictly speaking, this was a lost craft.
The Tang Dynasty craftsmen had developed the technique of stirring tires, but it was lost during the Jingkang rebellion in the Song Dynasty.
It wasn't until modern times that this technology was replicated with the help of modern scientific research.
However, there was still a big gap between the craftsmanship and the ancient times.
When Li Zhan was young, he heard his grandfather say that their ancestors once knew this skill, but they lost it later.
He did not expect to see this kind of craftsmanship in the hands of a young man.
One had to know that the process of stirring the tire was very complicated.
The two different colored porcelain clay had to be mixed together according to a certain rule. If no one told them about this rule, they would never be able to find out if they were unlucky.
At this moment, Gu Yiran was fully focused. Her hands had a rhythmic beauty as she mixed the two different colors of porcelain clay together.
Gradually, the color of the soil changed. White and brown porcelain clay were evenly distributed in every area.
At this moment, Gu Yiran poured water into the pot and mixed the porcelain that had been chiseled into powder into mud.
Then, he took out the knife he had prepared earlier and cut the mud into thin slices bit by bit.
These thin sheets were stacked together like a human pyramid.
" I see." Li Zhan's eyes flashed with a strange light. His turbid eyes became extremely sharp at this moment as he stared at Gu Yiran's movements.
Even Xu Shuai, a layman, was deeply attracted by it.
After finishing the porcelain, Gu Yiran took a deep breath. He had been in a state of concentration for too long, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
The next step was to use the mold to pull the blank.
If it was in Panjiayuan, it might be more troublesome, but Li Zhan had all the tools here, so it was not too troublesome.
When Gu Yiran was pulling the embryo…
Li Zhan also stared at it without stopping.
After witnessing Gu Yiran's craftsmanship, he finally understood how many mistakes he had made when he had already baked it.
"That's amazing." The old man's gaze fell on Gu Yiran. He could not believe that such superb skills had actually come from a young man.
