Enter the room 2

Chapter 345
In the middle of the night, the rain stopped and so did the fire in the kiln.

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 came 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 withdrew his gaze, 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 sent two kinds of sacrificial porcelain to the imperial kiln factory one after another, one was Dehua porcelain named "jade porcelain" by Song Youliang, and the other was 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, sweet white porcelain is the high-temperature porcelain that Jingdezhen promotes, and it is really their thing.

Song Jiyun laughed 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 250 kilns to burn for a month to determine the technological process.What's more, the temperature between 280 degrees and [-] 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 Fujian Dehua, 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 200 pieces. Only the temperature can produce the most beautiful ivory color. 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.

"At that time," she continued indifferently, "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 put on the red wine?"

"No," Song Jiyun said with a smile, "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's great to be able to burn Jihong porcelain." Song Jiyun smiled nonchalantly, 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 Jihongci.

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, and 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."

In terms of hard work, she is far from being hardworking when she enters the porcelain firing industry.

Song Jiyun felt a little guilty.

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

There are also several officials who did not show up last time.

Those 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 spectators brushed shoulders 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 out in the middle of the matter, and for a while, Shaanxi Liangdao was released. After his father-in-law, Mr. 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 family treasures, if you are not a descendant of a family, how can you know without the accumulation of several generations.

"Why don't you say that you are well-informed? It's our little four!" Suddenly someone beside them said.

Song Jiyun and Yuan Yunzhong looked back together.

Magistrate Jiang stood not far from them with a smile.

"Master Jiang!" Song Jiyun exclaimed in surprise, this was also 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 beside him: "He was transferred back to the capital, and he will work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future."

Song Jiyun was very surprised.

County Magistrate Jiang smiled and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I just returned to the capital and haven't reported to the Metropolitan Procuratorate yet. I'm here to encourage you in my personal capacity today."

"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."

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

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

The presiding officer of the Ministry of Criminal Justice made a few opening remarks, and then asked Song Jiyun and Song Tao respectively: "Can the kiln be opened?"

"Yes!" Both of them nodded.

Under the leadership of the small officials from the Manufacturing Office, the officials from the Ministry of Punishment knocked open two steamed bun kilns.

A wave of heat rushed over.

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

Soon, the sagger inside was exposed.

The little official in the manufacturing office pointed to 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 Punishment shouted.

Everyone stretched their necks.

Immediately, he couldn't even think about talking, and there was no sound in front of the bustling Liulichang.

It was Song Jiyun, who was obviously 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.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" In the sound of broken pottery, 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 exclamations in the crowd.

Song Jiyun heaved a sigh of relief.

She felt that she was working hard at Liulichang, and Hong Xi was not idle.

The publicity was well done.

Otherwise, these spectators would not 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.

Song Tao had opened half of the saggers in a row, but they were full of pottery fragments that could not be fired into porcelain.

Song Jiyun was stunned.
