"Chen Lidian, these instruments are so exquisite, why do you think they are too simple?" The four burly men including Wang Wu and Wang Qi were very puzzled.

This kind of cup and bowl called porcelain is as white as jade, smooth and flat as iron, with a light tap and a crisp sound. No matter where you look, it is more than a hundred times better than the rough grey pottery you usually see. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is perfect. Even if there is no such exquisite utensil in the palace, it is probably not an exaggeration.

Gao He was stunned for a long time before stammering: "Lord Lidian, how can such exquisite objects be more exquisite? Isn't it only a god who can use them?"

Although Gaohe is just a low-end potter in a remote mountainous area, it is undeniable that he is a craftsman who has been officially recognized by the Qin Dynasty. He also knows that the entire Qin Dynasty now uses rough and gray pottery, which is very different from the porcelain in front of him. These porcelains are comparable to exquisite jade.

"Don't you think it's the whole color, no patterns, no gold edges, and no decorations. Isn't it a bit embarrassing to sell such a porcelain?" Chen Xu said to himself.

"Ah?!" Everyone's expression was even more dull.

"You two go to the grain warehouse and bring me a black box in the middle!" Chen Xu said to the two helpers next to him who couldn't close their mouths.

"Go quickly!" Gao He came to his senses and quickly kicked an assistant, so the two of them quickly ran away.

In just over ten minutes, two helpers pushed a wheelbarrow over with a black box on it.

Chen Xu opened the box and placed more than a dozen red, yellow, blue and green ores inside.

The reason why porcelain in later generations was extremely beautiful was that it was coated with various glazes on the surface. The glaze was actually ore formed by various metal salts, ground into powder and made into glaze slurry, and then painted, painted, soaked or soaked, and dipped these glaze slurry of different colors on the surface of the ceramic blank. After firing it out, it formed exquisite porcelain of various colors and patterns.

This method was used in later generations such as Tang Sancai and blue and white porcelain.

However, glazing is simple to say, but it is actually very troublesome to make. Because the melting temperature of each glaze is different, the requirements for kiln workers are particularly high. The kiln temperature and time to be released from the kiln must be controlled to a very fine level. Otherwise, if you don’t pay attention, you will waste countless efforts and burn it out.

The more exquisite the porcelain is, the higher the requirements for craftsmen for kiln workers. You should know that the process of selecting soil, screening soil, grinding and glazing for a piece of exquisite porcelain is very time-consuming and man-made. Once it is burned out, all the previous efforts will be wasted. This is why good porcelain is very precious.

The reason why the products of the official kilns in later generations were all high-quality products was that all the badly burned were smashed and discarded, resulting in very few that were left in the end, and all of them were dedicated to emperors or princes and nobles. After dynasties and the fragile characteristics of porcelain, the remaining ones became increasingly rare, and naturally they became extremely precious.

However, it is definitely not possible for Chen Xu to make blue and white and colored porcelain at the moment, but it does not prevent him from using the ore of various colors to test the feasibility of colored glaze. Even if he can only draw one or two simple decorative patterns on the porcelain in the end, it will look much better than a single color of the glaze.

As a time traveler, you are not allowed to make only the simplest objects and satisfy yourself, otherwise you will be ridiculed by the vast number of time travel compatriots. It is okay if you can't make glass for the time being.

"Gaohe, these ores of different colors are finely ground into powder with stone mortars or grinding grooves. They must be fine, just like white clay. Then add water to make a dilute mud, and then apply these different colors of pigment mud evenly on the inside or outside of the ceramic blank. It is best to get a different color for each piece of ceramic blank. This way, the color of the finished product will be known after firing. Because the melting temperature of these pigments is not the same, the firing time and furnace temperature are different. You can test it more and write down the test results..."

Every time Chen Xu said something, Gao He nodded, because after Chen Xu's brief explanation, he had fully understood Chen Xu's idea, which was to use these colorful ore powders to apply them on the ceramic blanks, and finally they could fire out colorful and different porcelains.

When Gao He was thinking that he might fire colorful ceramics, he was already excited and his chicken feet were about to explode. At the same time, his admiration for Chen Xu had risen by several levels. This method seems simple, but no one has ever thought of it, or even if he thought of it, no one has succeeded.

How did Lidian grow up this head?

Why are you so smart?

I even thought of such an incredible thing easily!

Wang Wu and Wang Qi and others wanted to use their big sword to chop Chen Xu's head to see if there was a white-bearded old man hiding inside with fairy spirit hidden inside.

"By the way, the outside of the clay made by adding clay can be evenly coated with a dilute mud mixed with white porcelain clay. Then the porcelain fired after drying may be pure white. Anyway, you need to experiment more. I will come again in a few days, hoping to see the most detailed results!" Chen Xu stood up after explaining.

"Don't worry, Lidian, I will definitely try it carefully and will never ruin your big event!" Gao He nodded quickly.

"It's not a big deal, but as long as the experiment is successful, you will be the best potter in Daqin. Maybe one day the First Emperor will invite you to be a high-ranking official!" Chen Xu patted Gao He's shoulder, then turned to look at Wang Wusi and others and said, "Is this okay with my statement?"

"There is no doubt!" The kings, five kings, seven and four nodded vigorously.

As long as this exquisite porcelain is introduced to Xianyang, the result can be completely predicted.

Gao He, who was unshaven, had a dark face even darker, and he was so excited that he stuttered all over his body: "Lidian, I... can I... really see the emperor?"

"Haha, it's not that easy to see, high officials, high wealth, wealth and honor are definitely not allowed to escape! Okay, you can study it slowly, mainly the control of furnace temperature. It's not easy to really achieve this goal, you can't be careless at all!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"I will definitely be careful if I save it!" Gao He nodded repeatedly.

"Chen Lidian, we are going back, it seems that snow is falling!" Wang San, who was standing outside the awning, suddenly said, looking at the gloomy and hazy sky.

Everyone walked out of the pergola and saw fine snowflakes falling down with the cold wind.

"Let's go!" Chen Xu turned over and told Gao He a few more words before leaving. Then he went to the oil pressing workshop and the blacksmith shop to check. After learning that everything was going well, he called Liu Po, the three elders and three pavilion chiefs together to give them some advice carefully, so he asked them to pay attention to the safety issues after heavy snow. Then he packed up some things and took them back to Xiaohe Village.

Sure enough, by the time they arrived home, the snowflakes had become like goose feathers, rolling and falling in the howling cold wind. In less than an hour, a layer of land had fallen on the ground, and the world was shrouded in the vast white.

"Xu'er, Miss Wang has been away for more than two months and there has been no news. Wuya has been there for more than a month. It's snowing again. My mother always feels confused and worried!" Chen Jiang sat on the kang and knitted trousers, but her movements were ashamed, and her face was full of worry.

"Brother, I miss Sister Shui and Uncle Yu too. Will they come back in winter?" Xing'er also knitted a scarf with two bamboo needles.

"Brother Yu may not be able to come back with such heavy snow!"

Wang Wu and Wang Qi and others sat beside each other bored looking at the snowflakes rolling around outside, their faces were also a little solemn. With this bad weather and the rugged and difficult roads, it is probably not easy to come back even if they arrive in Qinghe Town. If they are accidentally slippery, they will fall into the valley.

Chen Xu stood at the door, looked at the vast snow of goose feathers and sighed slightly.

But in such an era, all worries can only be worry, and nothing else can be done.

"Take tread..."

Amid the howling snowflakes and the cold wind, there seemed to be a sound of horse hooves.

"Hey~ Is there someone coming for such a heavy snow?" Not only did Chen Xu hear the sound of horse hooves, but Wang Wu and others also hear it. Soon the sound of horse hooves becomes clearer and clearer, and Chen Jiang and Xing'er also hear it.

"Brother, could it be Sister Shui back?" Xing'er excitedly threw the sweater needle in her hand, jumped off the kang and put on her shoes, and Chen Jiang stopped.

So the room soon walked to the door and looked at it with anticipation.

In the whistling and rolling sky, the sound of horse hooves became closer and closer. Soon, two horses rushed out of the woods that had fallen onto a layer of white snow and rushed straight into the yard.

The first horse sat a woman in black. A snow-white cloak behind her was fluttering in the wind. She had a black face towel on her face, and only a pair of watery big eyes were exposed. However, snow came against the wind and snow, and her dark hair and eyebrows were covered with snowflakes. Who wasn't it that Chen Xu had missed and missed Shui Qingrou who had been missing for several months?

On the horse's back behind Shui Qingrou, a man covered in thick felt was sitting. He was so bloated that he looked like a brown bear, and his body was still covered with snow. It was Yu Wuya.

"My benefactor~ we are back!" Yu Wuya shouted in surprise and excitement, and the snow on his face fell down.
