Chapter 668

After several months of weathering and aging, the bottom tank is ground and crushed, sieved and stirred with water, or the raw mud is repeatedly beaten thousands of times.Exclude the air in the mud, squeeze it and stick it tough.

This kind of mud is qualified to make high wall monk hats.

The high-wall monk hat, as the name suggests, means that the monk hat at the mouth of the pot is relatively high, and the mud piece is used to make this kind of monk hat. The higher the mud piece, the higher the strength will naturally be.

There is also the flying handle of this kind of teapot, which is also a difficulty. It is not well made, and after firing, the handle is easy to break. What kind of classic is that?
In fact, Chen Wenzhe has another advantage in the whole process of firing high-walled monk hat pots, and that is the kiln firing process.

Because he knows very well that the firing temperature of the high-wall mitral pot made of clear bottom tanks is 1200°C, not the 1980-2000°C known by the general masters.

If you don't realize this, the firing temperature is too high, it will definitely burn out, or there will be many flaws!
And as long as the firing efficiency is high, a lot of raw materials can be saved, which can reduce costs.

Because ordinary people need to go through repeated firing and test pieces before finally determining the firing temperature.

In this process, only God knows how much material was wasted.

After everything is ready, it is not possible to start production directly.

Because before production, the design work must be done well.

Otherwise, the proportions of the high-wall monk's hat made out would definitely be uncoordinated, and it would not even be able to make a perfect teapot.

The size, size, mouth and handle of mitral pots all need special design.

Then further confirm the height of the brim, the size ratio of the brim to the body below.

Then start to make the model, join the body, and then make the brim.

One after the other, after more than two hours of hard work, a mitral pot was finally completed.

And this process, the general master craftsman studies for a month, may not be able to make it.

Often after doing this, after the final firing, it is found that it is just a failed work.

Maybe it's because my skills are not up to that point, and my foundation is not solid enough, maybe it's the problem of firing the kiln, anyway, there are many difficulties.

Because Chen Wenzhe has a complete inheritance, and it is a master-level inheritance, he can even imitate it in his dreams and make it himself several times.

With enough experience, he can fully consider the scale of the pot, the adjustment of proportions, the coherence of the shape, and the arrangement and treatment of the upper, lower, left and right objects.

The high wall monk hat was completed very smoothly. Looking at its figure and proportions, Chen Wenzhe felt very satisfied.

He raised his head, looked at the four people in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Qinghu.

"Starting from the simple ones, let's talk about the mud first. It must be tempered and refined. You don't need to use the bottom tank to clean it, just use ordinary mineral materials!"

Chen Qinghu naturally knew it was him, and he started to practice clay in silence.

"In the adjustment of the ratio, we must carry out strict scrutiny, and we must know that a slight difference is a thousand miles away."

"From the height, width and narrowness of the barrel and hat brim, the proportions must be further coordinated. As long as after adjustment, the visual effect of the shape is better than the original, we must continue to adjust to accumulate experience."

"From the perspective of the coherence of the shape, further strengthen it, so that the upper and lower, left and right are connected and echoed, and the turning and undulating are moderate, without the feeling of patchwork, disconnection, and rigidity, so that it can be connected in one go."

"That's all I can say. Now you watch carefully the technique of making clay. You can't make porcelain in the future. You need Chen Qinghu to help you practice clay, right?"

It has to be said that after a month of factory life, Chen Qinghu was tempered.

After all, there is too much mud that needs to be blended every day.

Therefore, after his secondary processing, the clear cement is more flexible.

After repeated beating, it is easier to make it.

Next is the beginning of making mitral pots. The mouth, handle, button and lid that are more prone to problems in mitral pots are made first.

If there is no problem with the mouth, handle, button and lid after drying, then it can be fired in the kiln, which is a delay.

Therefore, Chen Xingchen and the other four may have to wait for a while if they want to produce a qualified mitral pot.

Even if they start with the simplest little mitral pot, it will certainly not be smooth sailing.

Of course, they all have a strong foundation. It shouldn't be difficult to make a simplified version of the small mitral pot, otherwise it would be too much for self-confidence.

It's just that a small mitral pot that is too simple is of low value.

Of course, no matter how low the value is, it is still normal to sell one piece for three to five thousand yuan, and this is the value of the mitral pot.

There are samples in front of me, and Chen Xingchen and the others are also familiar with it. It is really easy to make simple mitral teapots.

Seeing that they were on the right track, Chen Wenzhe also started busy with his own affairs.

Too many beauty pots have been made before, and they are all five-level crafts, and they are sold at the price of six-level crafts.

Now we must let the market relax and digest those works.

Therefore, now add the fourth-level commemorative version of the purple clay pot, so as to fill the low-level market.

And in this way, the liberated Chen Xingchen and the others would have time to go further.

As for him, Chen Wenzhe, he naturally wanted to find a way to add some top-level handicrafts to Yi Nian Hall.

Now that he has started making mitral pots, he doesn't bother to make some top-notch mitral pots.

For example, the celadon glazed high-walled monk's hat, the ruby ​​red glazed high-walled monk's hat, or the square monk's hat.

As long as these works are successfully produced, if they are placed in ancient times, the royal family will treasure them.

Therefore, as long as the production is successful, it can definitely be regarded as the treasure of the town store in Yi Nian Tang, and it is no worse than the relatively large ruby ​​red jar.

Chen Wenzhe does not need to try and make mistakes, so the production speed is very fast.

Others have to wait until all the accessories are complete and there are no problems before they are fired in the kiln.

He didn't have to wait for the mitral pot to dry, the speed was naturally fast.

For ordinary people, without a month, they will definitely not be able to make a high wall monk hat.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe inherited the pot-making speed of Master Wang Yinchun, which is really impressive.

Before you know it, the day will pass.

In the afternoon, Chen Xingchen and the others just managed to finish a pair of caps, and it was the result of simple matching and then simple matching.

Even so, they will not enter the kiln today, because they have just been made and need to be dried.

Chen Wenzhe doesn't have this kind of trouble. The batch of mitral teapots he made in the morning can already be put into the kiln.

I have to say that making mitral pots is really a lot of brain work.

For example, scratching clay pieces also requires calculation of proportions and shapes, so Chen Wenzhe is also very tired after a day.

At the end of the day's work, Chen Wenzhe found a dormitory, got a little familiar with it, and fell asleep.

However, his body fell asleep, but his spirit was still working in his dream!
