Chapter 508 Porcelain
As soon as the door opened, Old Man Zhang immediately put all his attention on the porcelain in the furnace. He first looked around at the entrance of the furnace, and then signaled another guy next to him to pull out the porcelain in the furnace.
At this time, Wen Xu discovered that there was a moving shelf in the stove, and all the porcelain was placed on the shelf. After two workers pulled it, all the porcelain shelf came out.
Everything came out, and Wen Xu began to look around the dragged shelf.
Dangbang!
Just as Wen Xu looked at it a few times, he suddenly heard a crisp sound, which scared Wen Xu and subconsciously thought he had touched one.
When Wen Xu came to his senses, he turned around and looked around for a few times, and found that Old Man Zhang had put on glasses and twine gloves on his hand. He stood next to the shelf and looked at it with a piece of porcelain. After looking at it for two or three seconds, there was another sound, and a plate was thrown to the ground by the old man and broken into several pieces.
Old Man Zhang's actions attracted Wen Xu's attention, so he came to him to watch him play with porcelain.
Wen Xu stood beside the old man, paying attention to the porcelain in the old man's hand, and soon found that Old Man Zhang had too strict requirements on his work. He slightly raised a small bulge, and it was still the kind that he almost didn't notice. The old man just loosened his hands and broke a plate under his feet into eight pieces.
Wen Xu stood by and watched the old man breaking porcelain, counting while watching, counting the success rate of the old man's firing. After almost half an hour, Wen Xu found that nearly 60% of the furnace porcelain made by the old man were smashed to the ground.
"No, not bad! This furnace is quite high in its standard," Old Man Zhang said happily as he looked at the remaining half of the porcelain.
"Is this good?" Wen Xu asked in surprise, but he was not as good as a fairy, and the frame was now empty.
The big boy said from the side: "This is very high. When I was at Mingzhu, the defect rate I chose for the first time was usually between 65 and 75%!"
"Oh!" Wen Xu asked after hearing this, "Is there a second time to choose?"
Old man Zhang smiled at Wen Xu and said, "Our handmade porcelain is expensive, and it has its own reason for its high price. First, each of our pieces is different, and second, it is to carefully select it. If a work that we are not satisfied with is flowing into the hands of customers, it is strange that the customer is satisfied. It will cause a piece of dissatisfaction with customers, which will cause a lot of damage to our reputation. Therefore, we have to carefully look at the second choice. The instrument is used to check the flaws to see if there are any cracks inside."
While saying that, Old Man Zhang took porcelain from the shelf, what bowls and spoons were all taken into the basket, and then said to the worker: "Go and inspect these pieces first!"
So the two workers took the bowls, plates and other dishes to the workbench on the side and began to check.
"Let's go with me to see how to make porcelain?" Old man Zhang said to Wen Xu with a smile.
Wen Xu nodded immediately when he heard this and said, "That's good!"
Just like that, Wen Xu followed Old Man Zhang into the workshop next to him. The place where he practiced mud here was to break the porcelain stones mined from the mining area with a hammer and then beat them into mud. Then, through a series of processes to remove impurities, they obtained porcelain mud with uniform moisture. Then, there were some other things like pulling, printing, sharpening, etc., Wen Xu's head was a little bigger when he heard it.
Fortunately, Wen Xu understood that it was like some rough work that Old Man Zhang didn’t need to do. To be honest, the old man couldn’t do it even if he wanted to do it. He didn’t have the energy anymore. Instead, the boys who worked in the old man now had solid muscles as if they had practiced in the gym.
After a while, Wen Xu understood a little bit, so he opened his mouth and said to Old Man Zhang: "When you have nothing to do in the future, I will come to your place to play with mud!"
"Welcome at any time!" Old man Zhang said with a big laugh.
Wen Xu is actually interested in playing with mud, so of course it’s just a play. If you practice mud, Wen Xu will definitely not do anything even if you beat him to death.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Xu decided to say goodbye: "I'll ask for trouble here today. I'll go back first and come to play with mud another day!"
"Don't hurry to leave, I've picked some small gifts for you!" said Old Man Zhang.
Wen Xu asked in surprise when he heard this, "There are still small gifts?"
Seeing Old Man Zhang make a gesture of inviting him, Wen Xu followed him back to the room where the electric stove was placed.
"This? Our bowls can't be used, really!" Wen Xu said quickly when he saw the old man taking him to a box of porcelain.
Two or three sets of bowls, spoons and other sets of Wenxu’s house were given by friends when they were built in the new house. There are still a few sets that have not been opened yet.
Old man Zhang said seriously: "The patterns on the porcelain in your house are made of chemical materials, and I am all mineral materials. Another thing is that the porcelain in your house is fired and then put on the material and then fired at low temperature. After using it for a long time, the material will be exposed. My patterns are all underglaze colors, and these colors are all under high-temperature glaze and will never fade! Do you understand the difference between the two?"
How could Wen Xu not understand? So he nodded and said, "So that's how it is!"
"The chemical materials are all synthesized by population, and it is hard to say what impact it will have on the body. It would be fine if it is always protected and does not come into contact with people, but the low-temperature fired protective layer outside Yiyong will be worn out, and you will be able to come into contact with these chemicals. Our family has always used high-temperature porcelain underglaze color, which may be just psychologically asking for peace of mind." Old man Zhang said with a smile.
Wen Xu nodded immediately when he heard this and said, "No, no! Health is nothing small! I have accepted this gift, thank you!"
"You're welcome, I can ask for a good tea. We'll be a polite exchange!" Old man Zhang smiled happily when he saw Wen Xu not refusing.
After receiving the gift, Wen Xu was a little worried. You can't carry this thing back by yourself. You have to put a bowl, a soup bowl, and a bowl of thirty or forty pieces, all over the box.
Old Man Zhang was happy when he saw Wen Xu's appearance: "I'll have someone ride an electric bike to take it to you home later!"
"Then the relationship is good, so I won't move!" Wen Xu knew that it was not an unruly opportunity, so he thanked him again.
After chatting with Old Man Zhang for a few words, Wen Xu said goodbye and went home.
When he was almost at the door, he heard a beeping sound from behind. Wen Xu turned around and saw Old Man Zhang's youngest son, Xiao Zhang pressing the horn of the electric car.
"So fast?"
Xiao Zhang said, "I'll move to you!"
"No, no! I'll do it myself. You can reach out to the distance at this point!" Wen Xu picked up the box placed on the electric car pedal.
"Let's go, come into the house and drink some water before leaving?" Wen Xu also said politely to Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang didn’t have any common language with Wen Xu. When he heard Wen Xu say this, he immediately shook his head and said, “No need, I have to go back and paint porcelain for my dad.”
After saying that, Xiao Zhang turned one hundred and eighty degrees with the handlebars. He twisted the handlebars and the electric car ran out.
Just like that, Wen Xu returned to the house with a box of porcelain.
Seeing Wen Xu carrying something in his hand, two stupid guys Dahua Erhua immediately came over, almost stirring Wen Xu's wrestling and threw the box in his hand to the ground.
"Go on the side! Why are you two joining in the fun?" Wen Xu calmed down, hugged the box sideways, stretched out his legs to open the two stupid bears of Dahua Erhua.
Hearing Wen Xu's movement, Li Yumei, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out and saw Wen Xu holding a box of porcelain and said, "Where did you get another set of porcelain? The original one at home has not been used up yet!"
He said this, but Li Yumei still came over, reached out and pulled it, looked at Wen Xu with dissatisfaction and said, "This set of porcelain is too simple. Although it is a good painting of small flowers and grass, it is not fun enough to use it at home!"
"Aunt, it's not the time to watch the fun or not. This set of porcelain is different from our home. Our home now uses chemical pigments to draw low-temperature porcelain, while the set of mineral pigments to burn high-temperature porcelain is more hygienic and safer..." Wen Xu immediately started selling it now.
"You have a lot of things to do. We have never distinguished any high-end porcelain and low-temperature porcelain in our lives. We have not lived well yet?" Li Yumei said.
"Beware of Yu Weiran. Besides, Shang Zhen is pregnant now, we have to pay attention, right?" Wen Xu said while hugging the box into the kitchen.
When Li Yumei heard this, she nodded and said, "You are right. Shang Zhen has three children in her belly. By the way, what gender are these three children? Is it a boy or a girl? It's better to have a man and a woman."
"I think too, my daughter and boy have all been solved in one go. Don't worry about this. We will ask again when Shang Zhen goes to check next time," Wen Xu said.
Now Wen Xu thinks that it is best to have a man and a woman. The one who can satisfy Wen Xu is two girls and one boy. If there are three girls, Wen Xu has no objection, but he will definitely want to have another boy, because many things can be done with his son, but he cannot do them with his daughter. Besides, Wen Xu grew up in a small village since he was a child, and he inevitably has the idea of inheriting the family line. Although it is a feudal cancer, it exists objectively and cannot be corrected after a few sarcasm.
He entered the kitchen with the porcelain in his arms. Wen Xu put the box directly next to the pool and started cleaning. After washing, he took out all the bowls in the original disinfection cabinet and put all the new bowls and spoons in.
"What should I do with these old ones?" Li Yumei said.
"What else can I do if I leave it?" Wen Xu shook the water on his hand, then found a dry towel to wipe it.
At this moment, the girl Hang Chen entered the house and saw Wen Xu and Li Yumei in the kitchen. She immediately stood at the door of the kitchen and stretched her head and asked, "Have the meal been ready, I'm starving to death!"
"Why don't you eat a few skewers when you're starving to death?" Li Yumei said to Hang Chen.
Hang Chen said: "There are all numbers of skewers. I have to pay a skewer to eat. If I don't want to eat meat, I'll eat it home. It doesn't cost money and it's good to eat it!"
"Your brother's meat was not bought with money," Li Yumei scolded.
"Auntie, don't waste your saliva with her!" Wen Xu smiled and said to Hang Chen: "Go and watch TV first, and you have to wait for a while for dinner!"
When Hang Chen saw Wen Xu holding the bowl, he asked casually: "Brother, why are you doing with the bowl and plate?"
"These are not needed!" Wen Xu said.
"No need? Then Is it okay to give it to me?" Hang Chen asked.
Without waiting for Wen Xu to answer, Li Yumei opened her mouth and said, "What do you want these?"
"There has never been a bowl at the barbecue stall, and they are all ready to eat..." Hang Chen said.
Wen Xu didn't even finish listening to the words, so he put the bowl in his hand on the operating table: "Here! It's all yours."
"It's better for brother!" Hang Chen took Xiao to the operating table, reached out and tried to hold the box, and his face turned bitter: "Brother, please help me."
So Wenxu had to pick up the box again, put the car in the yard, and then took the girl to the barbecue cottage of several girl. The whole set of services was completed and he was able to go home.
Chapter completed!
