Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 148 The effect of the firing shocked Deputy Factory Director Zhu.
After learning that Master Deng was compiling teaching materials, Li Feng stopped bothering him and continued talking.

He then went to the new color group and started painting.

After all, Li Feng had to finish painting this porcelain plaque in the next few days.

Although Li Feng knew that the reward for this task would definitely be substantial, he wanted to finish it as soon as possible so that he could continue with other things.

Li Feng knew that some of the previous orders were still unfinished. He didn't know if he would be transferred back to Master Lin's workshop once this batch of porcelain was completed.

However, judging from Master Deng's recent behavior, Li Feng guessed that Master Deng probably wouldn't let him go back.

After walking from the office to the new color group, Li Feng immediately noticed three porcelain slabs pieced together.

The reason why Deputy Factory Director Zhu chose to start with splicing was that Master Deng raised the issue of color difference during the meeting.

If the five pieces were fired separately from the beginning, there would definitely be a problem with the color difference.

To minimize color differences, we have no choice but to opt for splicing.

Due to time constraints, ceramic tiles cannot be produced that quickly.

Due to the limitations of the firing conditions, the only option left was to fire it in two stages.

After firing, the parts are then assembled.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Moreover, this is currently the optimal solution.

Looking at the giant porcelain plaque that had been placed on the easel in front of him, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh.

This porcelain plaque could only be placed with a little force by using two easels together.

Making large porcelain slabs is really not easy.

After all, this is about making high-quality products, which is why it's so complicated.

If a large ceramic tile is to be inlaid on a memorial wall in a typical school, the factory will usually choose to cut it into palm-sized tiles.

Then they are inlaid one by one.

of course!

This effect is certainly not as good as a one-time molding process.

But given the current conditions, this is the best we can do.

When Li Feng thought of this, he picked up the fine brush on the table, dipped it in light ink, and began to sketch.

First, Li Feng recalled his original draft, and then he began to type it out on the porcelain plate.

Because there were only three porcelain slabs pieced together, Li Feng could only create a partial draft.

When Li Feng was drawing the map, Zhang Jiefang and Jiang Fei stood behind him.

At this moment, the two of them watched Li Feng draw the diagram and murmured to themselves.

"This ink draft is so clear."

"Unlike us, we only draw sketches."

"This ink draft can be used as an ink draft made by the photographic method."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

"It seems that Li Feng's skill in drawing diagrams has caught up with the master."

Two hours later, after Li Feng finished drawing the diagram, he took a deep breath and placed the brush dipped in light ink on the table.

Only then did he realize that there was a group of people standing behind him.

Li Feng was suddenly startled by the large number of people behind him, and then he couldn't help but say to Zhang Jiefang and the others.

"Why are you all staring at me instead of painting?"

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Zhang Jiefang and the others all responded in unison.

"For the sake of studying."

Li Feng felt somewhat ashamed after hearing Zhang Jiefang's words.

However, Li Feng eventually told them to go back to work, otherwise, if Master Deng came and saw this situation, he would definitely yell at them, given his temper.

Finally, persuaded by Li Feng, Zhang Jiefang and the others all returned to their workstations to get back to work.

After everyone went back to work, Li Feng looked at the porcelain plate where he had just drafted the manuscript.

At this point, Li Feng was checking whether any modifications were necessary. After all, the most important thing in drafting is accurate positioning, that is, accurate shape capture; other things can be modified later.

After watching for about ten minutes and finding no problems, Li Feng went to his office to rest.

When Li Feng arrived at the office, he did not see Master Deng. At this point, Li Feng assumed that Master Deng must have gone out on business.

Next

Li Feng sat on the stool in his office, thinking about the issue of ceramic tiles.

Because when Li Feng was about to draw the picture, he would have to deal with some firing issues.

These ceramic tiles are pieced together, and they also undergo a second assembly process.

At this point, there will definitely be some discrepancies in the color of the splicing interface, so Li Feng believes that this issue must be handled with caution.

Ideally, the color transition at the interface should be very natural.

Li Feng thought for twenty minutes and had a rough plan.

Next

Li Feng can just draw according to his own ideas.

The next day, Deputy Factory Director Zhu sent someone to deliver the remaining assembled porcelain slabs to the factory.

So Li Feng spent three and a half days completing the entire painting on the porcelain plaque.

It was drawn almost exactly according to the original blueprints designed by Li Feng.

Li Feng made adjustments to the splicing areas.

However, Li Feng didn't know the final firing result, because the kiln was always an uncontrollable factor.

These are things that Li Feng cannot control.

Therefore, the rest of the process can only be left to the kiln master to control.

The night Li Feng finished painting, Deputy Factory Director Zhu arranged for someone to send the porcelain Li Feng had painted to the Tongzhou Ceramics Factory for firing.

Currently, only the Tongzhou Ceramics Factory has large kilns to fire these porcelain slabs.

After the porcelain slab was delivered.

Li Feng was a little worried that the color transition of the fired porcelain slab might be uneven. If the transition was uneven, then he would have to apply the color again later.

Because this is a task assigned by superiors.

Therefore, the kiln of Tongzhou Ceramics Factory specially opened a kiln for this batch of porcelain slabs.

This also demonstrates the importance that Tongzhou Ceramics Factory attached to the task, and it also reflects the capabilities of Deputy Factory Director Zhu.

Although Director Wei and the Party Secretary had both tried to coordinate, the problems that arose later still needed to be resolved by Deputy Director Zhu.

The fact that Deputy Factory Director Zhu could do this speaks volumes about his abilities.

The next day

The kiln has been started.

At this moment, the kiln was opening a small corner to begin dissipating heat.

Since this is an electric kiln, there is basically no need to lay bricks, so you only need to open the locked kiln door handle.

Deputy Factory Director Zhu was waiting at the Tongzhou Ceramics Factory early in the morning to start the kiln operation.

When the kiln master fully opens the kiln.

After seeing the effect of the two pieces of porcelain after they were spliced ​​together, Deputy Factory Director Zhu thought it was perfect. He did not see any flaws in the firing process of the porcelain.

Moreover, there was no burning or cracking, no uneven coloring, and no peeling.

This proves that there is no problem with the porcelain plate manufacturing process.

After the laborers had completely lifted the two porcelain slabs out, Deputy Factory Director Zhu immediately began to carefully examine the screen.

The porcelain plaque painted by Li Feng has a perfect effect, even more stunning than the picture of the plaque before it was fired that Deputy Factory Director Zhu saw!

Because of Deputy Factory Director Zhu's expressions, demeanor, color scheme, and the way it echoes the theme.

Deputy Factory Director Zhu felt that the painting was as if it had come to life.

It's absolutely perfect.

At this moment, Deputy Factory Director Zhu couldn't help but sigh!
