Chapter 499: Fired porcelain

After studying with great concentration for a few days, Xia Qianqian decided to win by surprise-to burn a colored porcelain.
Forgive her for her lack of knowledge, not knowing how many types of porcelain Xuan Guo has.
Although Qin Xuan is a master of porcelain burning, he does not have much travel experience. He only knows the common porcelains on the market and those rare and popular porcelains.
He told Xia Qianqian all his opinions.
Xia Qianqian discovered that, in fact, some of the exotic porcelains weren't deliberately burned at all, but kiln changes occurred during the firing process, so that the scarcity became more expensive and was sought after.
This time, the imperial concubine solicited porcelain from all over the world, and there must be an expert.
Xia Qianqian thought about it, the safest thing is to zoom in, color porcelain!
Colored porcelain is the basis of adding color to the glaze of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It officially appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and developed rapidly.
According to the level of Xuan Guo's porcelain, there is no way!
"Do you mean that the whole piece of porcelain is colored?" Qin Xuan asked incredulously.
Xia Qianqian nodded: "Yes!"
"How is that possible?" Qin Xuan exclaimed.
Under high temperature, there is variation. The color on the porcelain embryo will change color after entering the furnace. How much has been studied throughout the ages to depict simple fish, insects, flowers and birds on porcelain.
How difficult is it to color on porcelain?
Even if you paint, what will happen after high-temperature firing, who can know?
"Everything is possible." Xia Qianqian smiled mysteriously and turned out the raw materials purchased by Gu Changsheng.
In fact, some of the colored raw materials are made by grinding sky gems.
The gemstones are colorful and resistant to high temperatures, suitable for painting on porcelain embryos. As long as the furnace temperature does not exceed 900 degrees, it should not change color.
These small boxes of colored materials are extremely precious.
Xia Qianqian didn't dare to waste it, first used two small cups of white porcelain embryos to paint, and then put them into the porcelain for a second firing.
Colored porcelain is Xia Qianqian's secret weapon. She dare not speak out, and she doesn't even know the work on the kiln.
Qin Xuan and Qin Ge are looking forward nervously, if Qianqian can really burn colored porcelain, then she will be a god!
The furnace temperature began to rise, and Xia Qianqian stood aside, watching the color changes on the porcelain through the kiln and the fire.
Qin Ge thought she was worried, and persuaded: "Don't worry, even if you don't succeed, you can win with cracked porcelain."
"No, I will succeed!" Xia Qianqian looked at the porcelain kiln excitedly.
She saw that the color on the porcelain was changing little by little.
Although it is still uncertain what the final product will be, she has seen the dawn of hope!
Qin Ge and Qin Xuan looked at each other, feeling that Xia Qianqian was putting too much pressure on them.
Qin Ge felt even more guilty.
It was his father's fault that made Xia Qianqian live so hard!
Qin Ge whispered to Qin Xuan, "Brother, is there any strange porcelain in our house?"
"How can our strange porcelain compare to hers?" Qin Xuan smiled bitterly. The Qin family didn't even have the confidence to unveil the emperor list!
"Brother, you really should have studied hard." Qin Ge sighed. The Qin family's foundation for so many years is not as good as Xia Qianqian's several months of hard work!
Qin Xuan thought for a while and asked, "Ge'er, are you hiding something from me?"
"No." Qin Ge blinked.
Qin Xuan saw that he was lying, sinking his face, showing the majesty of his brother, and shouted: "You insist on helping her and claim that she is your righteous sister to King Qin's people. What are your feelings for her?"
