When everyone saw Lu Zi'an's attitude, everyone was intrigued.

"It's time to put in the material!" Someone shouted loudly, rumbling and rumbled toward him.

Since China decided to restore Jun porcelain, it has mobilized many people to select various suitable minerals from related minerals.

They sent experts to go to the mines personally to find raw materials with reliable performance, stable quality and suitable for kiln transformation of Jun porcelain, and carefully selected them.

Choosing alone is not enough, and the raw materials need to be treated with necessary fine treatment.

Various porcelain clay mounds are divided into categories and are placed in open-air materials for long-term and continuous wind, sun, rain, and freezing, making them naturally weathered and smooth and improve their performance.

All kinds of ore materials need to be rolled into wheel mills, crushed, and then repeatedly operated to make them grind into sand or powdery shapes.

After these preliminary treatments, it is also necessary to classify and place the clay and ore according to the respective characteristics of these porcelain clay and ore materials.

Some need shade and rainproof, some need dustproof, etc.

Day after day, but I can't wait for a result.

So much so that they even thought they were doing something useless.

Because the Jun porcelain technology has long been lost, the kiln site (Bianliang) has also sunk with the frozen water accumulation.

How enthusiastic the sensational effect of Jun porcelain back then was, the more it was how bleak the porcelain craftsmanship was today.

Even though there are many kilns everywhere, there are still no key points for Jun porcelain.

There are a lot of research articles on Jun porcelain, and countless archaeological kilns are available.

However, since I had never seen these Northern Song officials made Jun porcelain, I could only see through the secrets.

It was not until Lu Zian's appearance that the already numb people seemed to have new expectations.

Maybe only such a genius can study the strange craftsmanship of Jun porcelain!

Piles of finely processed porcelain clay ore materials were sorted in different categories, each put in a small jar, and slowly pushed into Lu Zi'an.

The neatly tidy urns have their names posted on them.

Lu Zi'an opened a urn and immediately a craftsman came forward to explain its treatment and purpose.

Most of the porcelain clay is collected in Yuzhou City. It is located in the central part of Henan Province and is located in the transition zone between the remnants of Funiu Mountain and the eastern Henan plain.

There are many limestone, coal, bauxite, porcelain clay, clay and coke gemstones in the territory.

The famous Jun porcelain Zhenshenhou is located in the southwest of Yuzhou City.

Here are the mountains and hills, surrounded by mountains, Jiaozi Mountain, Fengchi Mountain in the east, Niotou Mountain and Niujin Mountain in the west, Daliu Mountain in the south, Yungai Mountain in the north, and Qianming Mountain in the east and west.

The mountain is composed of charcoal rock and sand shale.

The reserves of porcelain clay, glaze, refractory materials and coal are very rich, with a thin cover layer and are very easy to mine. There are very superior conditions for producing Jun porcelain.

Just by understanding and familiarizing yourself with these raw materials, Lu Zian spent a week.

But even so, it is amazing.

Just like a primary school apprentice who studies traditional Chinese medicine, you can remember the names of herbal medicines at the beginning.

If you can memorize them thoroughly and understand them in your chest, you will know what medicine it is when you smell it, and quickly find the corresponding combination and treatable diseases in your mind...

When you do this, the master will usually tell you: You can get a master.

Here, Lu Zian also fully demonstrated his strong memory like this elementary apprentice.

After a week, he was able to freely select the raw materials he needed and load them into a ball mill according to the ratio.

This step is called fine grinding in the Jun porcelain process.

Fine grinding requires patience and strict requirements on raw materials.

Lu Zian prepared many kinds of materials and finally selected several piles of clay materials that met the quality requirements.

Because it was just a preliminary attempt, he did not choose a shape that was too strange.

The shape is generally simple, mainly plates, bowls, bowls and other utensils. Because he does not want to use ready-made molds, he uses the method of rolling and forming.

To put it bluntly, it means putting a ball of mud on the rotating roulette and drawing it by hand to make various round blanks.

But when Lu Zian makes it, he always has a little more charm than others.

The ship's speed was actually very fast, but his fingers could always pull the mud into shape just right.

The index finger slightly penetrated, and soon there was a hole in the center.

Gently hook the fingertips inside, and the body will have a smooth curve.

His movements were even very light, as light and free as if he had been settled for several years.

Even many masters who were watching had to shake their heads and sigh: "Master Lu has such skill, why do you ask us to teach him how to shape the blank?"

No need at all!

"I think his technique is quite interesting." Someone frowned and looked very carefully: "Did you see, every time he shapes the arc, he always operates with two fingers."

Adjust both inside and outside, rather than adjusting only one side at a time.

This result can make the entire body smooth and complete without any unevenness.

After doing this for two or three pieces, Lu Zi'an placed the original blank on one side, washed his hands, and picked up another clay ball.

He thought about it and turned off the roulette and started to operate it with his bare hands on the workbench.

"Hey? What's this..."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Can Master Lu actually take shape with his bare hands?"

Someone came forward carefully to ask, but Lu Zian was calm and nodded: "Although the roulette is good, it has strict control over the duration, which is not conducive to my shaping."

Well, you are the boss and you have the final say.

Someone took a breath and sighed: "Maybe, this is the shape in his heart, and it's done with bare hands!"

There are cameras on the top, and people are even more crowded around.

Lu Zian felt as if he had entered a state of no one, and he was doing it easily and happily.

Shaping is actually really fun. When asked if he had experience in forming bare hands before, Lu Zian smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Some are there."

"Oh? I have only seen your wood carvings and jade carvings, but I have never seen any related porcelain art works." Someone said happily: "It turns out that Master Lu also hunts porcelain art?"

Lu Zian took a quick look at him and shook his head: "No, most people probably have this experience in bare hands, right? I played it when I was a child."

“…”

What?

Is it true that it comes from a family of craftsmen? Such profound craftsmanship can even be played with when I was a child.

Seeing that he really didn't react, Lu Zian smiled: "Playing with mud, many of our generation should have this kind of experience, right?"

Everyone was stunned for a few seconds, and after reacting, they coaxed and laughed.

That's right, mud embryos are naturally high-end when used in porcelain technology, but if they are used for children to play with, they are playing with mud!

I really didn't expect that Master Lu had no airs and did not mind mentioning his age at all.

Yes, they also played with mud and caused a lot of embarrassing things back then.

For example, if you use mud to make a whole wall, you are forced to practice boxing by your father as a human body sandbag for the first time.

For example, if someone smashes the window glass, he will apologize to someone with his ears at night.

For example, it makes the little girl's beautiful skirt, for example...

Everyone chatted with each other, greatly diluting the stiff atmosphere of the previous one.

Such down-to-earth topics quickly brought everyone closer.

When they looked at Lu Zi'an again, everyone felt very close and began to boldly hand him tools, bring tea and water, and no longer had the previous restraint.

Lu Zian's smile became even quieter after feeling it. He actually enjoyed such nature.

After all, they will have to spend a long time together and what's the point of keeping up with airs?

While talking, the teapot in Lu Zi'an's hand had been formed.

It is hard to imagine that the teapot formed with bare hands while chatting and laughing has such a smooth and flat body.

Not only is it round and small overall, but it also has no irregular areas, which makes people wonder.

When Lu Zi'an took a knife to remove the excess clay material from the mouth of the pot and leveled the mouth of the pot, some people even felt a little distressed.

Because Lu Zian cut off a large piece of it directly.

It's really...

The piece he cut off was not thrown away directly, but was used for re-surgery and pinched a tight lid of the pot.

The carving knife gently rotated and cut out a smooth cross section.

He picked up the carving knife and turned his head, and stabbed it directly, making people feel unruly, which made people's hearts thrust.
