Reborn genius girl fortune teller

Chapter 454 Blue and White Production
*****
When I came to the company, I saw two brothers and sisters, Luo Qing and Luo Bai, wearing aprons, making ceramic embryos in frustration.

　 The two siblings were too absorbed in their work and did not see Yang Zimei approaching.

Yang Zimei watched from the side with great interest, and asked Min Gang: "Are these raw materials for making porcelain the same as other common raw materials?"

Hearing her voice, Luo Baifang raised his head and smiled at her: "Miss Yang is here?"

"Well, you are busy with your business, leave me alone."

Yang Zimei sat down on a small stool beside her.

"If you want to make it similar, you must use the same raw materials as ancient porcelain, otherwise, you can't make a high-quality imitation. And the soil for making the clay body must be close to the hemp warehouse soil of the Yuan Dynasty, so that the Yuan Dynasty can be made. The blue and white has a smooth, waxy and soft feeling, not too dense and not too loose, and there are obvious gaps in the section of the fetal soil. The thickness of the fetal soil must also be ground according to ancient standards." Min Gang explained from the side.

"Is it difficult to find Macang soil?" Yang Zimei asked.

"It's already very scarce." Min Gang said with a wry smile, "it's almost equal to the price of gold. Besides the hemp warehouse soil, the coloring agent is also extremely hard to find. At that time, the coloring agent used in Yuan blue and white porcelain was from Sumaliqing imported from Iran, this kind of raw material has been exhausted in the late Ming Dynasty, and there is no import. My father sent people to Iran to collect and purchase, and they could only get a little from a traditional craftsman. "

"The raw materials are so depleted, how can we start a company?" Yang Zimei was shocked. Although she knew that the raw materials of Fangyuan blue and white were scarce, she didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find. Without raw materials, how could the company continue?

"It can only be divided into two grades. The real Ma Cang soil and Su Ma Li Qing are used to make first-class imitation Yuan blue and white flowers, while others have to be mixed with mud tires close to Ma Cang soil and imitating Su Ma Li Qing. It’s a coloring agent. However, it’s not easy to prepare, and selling this coloring agent alone can make more money than white powder, and it’s not illegal.” Min Gang explained.

"Is there any finished product?" Yang Zimei asked with interest.

"I just made a blue and white bowl, but Luo Bai said it was a failure." Min Gang said.

"Well, it's a failed product. When I was painting, my hand shook slightly, which caused the picture to fail." Luo Bai said helplessly.

"It's okay, I'll take a look."

Min Gang carefully took out a blue and white porcelain bowl from the office.

For Luo Bai, this is a failure, but for Min Gang, this is his first bowl in the company, which means a lot.

Yang Zimei took the blue and white porcelain bowl over.

This bowl feels very good, smooth and tender like jade, and has a strong sense of waxy softness. Whether it is shape, decoration, or even tire and glaze, it is exactly the same as Yuan blue and white.

If she hadn't opened her eyes to see, she still wouldn't be able to see that this is not an antique bowl.

The blue and white picture is also very well drawn, beautiful and delicate, just like the touch of light blue after the rain, it makes people feel refreshed and can't put it down.

"Where is the failure?"

Yang Zimei searched for Luo Bai's failure, but couldn't find it.

"Well, here, in a very subtle place." Min Gang pointed to the petals of one of the flowers.

Sure enough, on the edge of the petals, there was a slightly elongated line gliding, but if you don't look carefully, you can't really see it, and it doesn't affect the senses of the whole flower.
