Chapter 345

In the middle of the night, the rain stopped, and the fire in the kiln also stopped.

Master Xiao Guo led his apprentices to start preparing for the opening of the kiln.

The fish-belly white that gradually appeared in the sky was dyed with magnificent colors.

Song Jiyun stood by the kiln, looked at the morning glow in the sky and let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhou Zheng walked over and said, "Boss, today is a good weather."

Song Jiyun nodded and touched the wall of the steamed bun kiln: "The temperature has dropped, and we will start the kiln when the people from the third division arrive."

"Okay!" Zhou Zheng has recently learned a few Beijing accents, and he speaks a few words when he has nothing to do.

He stretched his neck and looked towards Song Tao's steamed bun kiln.

Song Tao was also talking to her handlebar master.

He looked away, and talked about sweet white porcelain with Song Jiyun: "After leaving this kiln, shall we make another kiln of sweet white porcelain?"

The Song family successively sent two kinds of sacrificial porcelain to the imperial kiln factory, one is Dehua porcelain named "Jade Porcelain" by Song Youliang, and the other is sweet white porcelain newly fired by Song Jiyun.

In his opinion, since the Songjia Kiln Factory has given up on jade porcelain, there is no need to publish the recipe of sweet white porcelain.

After all, the sweet white porcelain is the high-temperature porcelain that Jingdezhen recommends, and it is really their thing.

Song Jiyun smiled lowly, and said softly: "It doesn't matter if it is announced."

It sounds simple to use a magnet to get rid of the high iron content in kaolin, but how much to get rid of and how much to keep? At the beginning, she gathered all the master craftsmen from the six workshops of the Songjia Kiln Factory and tested one of them. It took more than 50 kilns to burn for a month to determine the technological process. What's more, the temperature between 1,250 degrees and 1,280 degrees can neither be high nor low, and not everyone can control it.

Otherwise, many experts in Jingdezhen knew that their family had transported Bainiqitu back from Dehua, Fujian, and they would have guessed that their family’s sacrificial white porcelain was related to this, but because they didn’t know that Bainiqitu was only available in more than 1,200 pieces. The most beautiful ivory color can be produced by burning at a high temperature. In the end, we can only watch their family burn sacrificial porcelain for the imperial kiln every year.

She smiled and said, "How to wash the kaolin is the key."

As long as she doesn't announce the ratio and temperature, those people will know, but they don't know how much effort it will take to determine the specific process.

"Wait until then," she continued calmly, "Our family may have a new variety of porcelain on the shelves."

Zhou Zheng was very convinced of Song Jiyun.

He nodded excitedly, and said hesitantly, "Are you going to serve red?"

"No," Song Jiyun smiled, "I'm going to burn Jihong."

"Ah!" Zhou Zheng exclaimed.

Jihong is the most difficult color in porcelain. Jingdezhen once fired Jihong porcelain in the Yongle period, but since then, no one has succeeded.

"Boss, your alum red is also very beautiful." He thought for a while, and said, "We can wait until the technology of alum red is stable, and release alum red. Jihong porcelain, I heard that kilns have been fired, then The color is like peeled flesh and blood, which is very unlucky."

"Others say that it is powerful to burn Jihong porcelain." Song Jiyun smiled casually, and said, "We have to be brave enough to climb high, and make this our goal."

Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little worried that Song Jiyun would insist on burning Jihong porcelain.

Song Jiyun felt that Fanhong's technology was not stable, and it was too early to talk about Jihong porcelain.

The two were talking, and soon it was noon.

Yuan Yunzhong was probably also thinking about her opening the kiln. He only came here at night a few days ago, and went out for a walk with her after dinner, and then sent her back to Liulichang to rest and leave. It's already noon today. I also went to Yaoji to buy a few boxes of Dingsheng cakes and put them on the plate, saying it was a good thing.

"Don't worry!" Song Jiyun comforted him, "We have done everything we can. If there is still a problem in this situation, it means that God is on her side. I will only find a chance to deal with her next time."

"No." Yuan Yunzhong said confidently, "Heaven rewards hard work, God will definitely be on your side this time."

As far as hard work is concerned, she is far from being hardworking when she enters the porcelain firing industry.

Song Jiyun felt a little guilty when he heard that.

The Third Division and the Manufacturing Office, including King Ning and others, have all arrived.

There are also several officials who did not appear last time.

The officials all gathered together in twos and threes to talk, and no one paid attention to King Ning, including Eunuch Wan, who followed Master Liu of the Manufacturing Office in a low-key manner. Those who surrounded King Ning were all people brought by him.

However, his expression was casual, even somewhat comfortable, which made her a little puzzled.

The lively crowd brushed shoulder to shoulder and surrounded the front gate of Liulichang, which was even more noisy than going to a temple fair.

Seeing Song Jiyun looking around with great interest, Yuan Yunzhong introduced several new officials beside her in a low voice: "The tallest one is Shaoqing from Dali Temple. , was promoted in the year of Tianshun. Standing next to him was the right servant of the Ministry of Justice wearing a peacock patch. He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Xuande, earlier than the Jinshi of the Shaoqing of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He has been in the Ministry of Punishments, from the chief secretary to the minister. The person who talked to him was the right deputy Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The right deputy Du Yushi was the same year as him, and he was born as a nobleman, but he was from the Sixth Ministry. It started in the middle of the matter, and for a while, Shaanxi Liangdao was released. After his father-in-law Li Ge retired, he returned to Beijing and joined the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."

Song Jiyun listened carefully, feeling emotion in his heart.

There are so many treasures like this, if you are not a descendant of a family, without the accumulation of several generations, how could you know.

"How can we say that we are well-informed, we still need our little four!" Suddenly someone beside them said.

Song Cuiyun and Yuan Yunzhong looked back together.

Jiang county magistrate stood not far from them with a smile.

"Master Jiang!" Song Jiyun exclaimed in surprise, this could be regarded as an acquaintance in a foreign land.

"I heard that your case came to a conclusion today," he walked over with a smile, "I came here specially to cheer you up."

He asked: "I'm not late, am I?"

"It's not too late, it's not too late." Song Jiyun smiled and greeted Jiang County Magistrate.

Yuan Yunzhong explained next to him: "He was transferred back to the capital, and he will work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future."

Song Jiyun was very surprised.

Jiang county magistrate smiled and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I just returned to the capital, and I haven't reported to the Metropolitan Procuratorate yet. Today I am purely in my personal capacity to encourage you."

"Thank you, thank you!" No matter what it was, Song Jiyun was very grateful.

Suddenly three gavels sounded.

The chief judge of the criminal department sat behind the temporary desk and said, "My lords, the time has come, please take your seats."

Yuan Yunzhong retreated into the crowd of spectators in order not to steal Song Jiyun's limelight.

Everyone gave way to each other in twos and threes and took their seats.

The chief interrogator of the Ministry of Punishment said a few opening remarks, and then asked Song Jiyun and Song Tao respectively: "Is it possible to open the kiln?"

"Yes!" Both of them nodded.

There were yamen servants from the Ministry of Punishment, led by a small official from the Manufacturing Office, who knocked open two steamed bun kilns.

A wave of heat rushed over.

The yamen servants and the petty officials stepped back several steps before starting to pick up the kiln.

Soon, the sagger inside was exposed.

The little official of the manufacturing office pointed the kiln worker to move out the sagger.

On the left is Song Jiyun's, and on the right is Song Tao's.

"Open the sagger!" The chief interrogator of the Ministry of Punishments shouted.

Everyone stretched their necks.

Immediately, he didn't have time to talk, and there was no sound in front of the bustling Liulichang.

It was Song Jiyun, who was very confident that he could restore and burn the "jade porcelain", but at this moment, his throat tightened and his hands were tightly twisted together.

In the sound of "crack! Crack! Crack!", the ivory-like and white Song family sacrificial porcelain "jade porcelain" was revealed in the rough pottery.

The perfect small bowls appeared in front of everyone.

"This is the jade porcelain that was eliminated by the Songjia Kiln Factory? My God! It's so beautiful!"

"That sweet white porcelain is so beautiful!"

"They don't want to give it to me! I don't dislike it, I want it!"

There were bursts of sighs in the crowd.

Song Jiyun heaved a sigh of relief.

I feel that she is working **** Liulichang, and Hong Xi is not idle.

The publicity is well done.

Otherwise, these spectators wouldn't have sighed like this.

"No, it's impossible!" Song Tao screamed piercingly.

Song Jiyun couldn't help looking over.

Five bowls and one sagger, three hundred bowls equals sixty saggers.
