Chapter 458: Blue and white production

When I came to the company, I saw Luo Qing and Luo Bai, two brothers and sisters are around an apron, gray heads and gray brains are making ceramic embryos.
The two siblings did too much attention and did not see Yang Zimei come over.
Yang Zimei also looked aside with interest, and asked Min Gang: "Is the raw material for making porcelain the same as other general raw materials?"
Hearing her voice, Luo Baifang looked up and smiled at her: "Miss Yang is here?"
"Well, you are busy with you, leave me alone."
Yang Zimei sat down on a small stool.
"If you want to make it look like, you must use the same raw materials as ancient porcelain, otherwise, high imitation cannot be done. And the soil for making mud tires must be close to the Makura soil of the Yuan Dynasty, so that the Yuan can be made. The blue and white feeling of slippery, waxy, soft, not too dense and not too loose, and the characteristics of the gaps in the cross section of the soil are obvious. The thickness of the ground soil must be in accordance with ancient standards.
Min Gang explained.
"Is it hard to find Makura soil?" Yang Zimei asked.
"It's very scarce." Min Gang smiled bitterly. "It's almost equal to the price of gold. Except for this Makura soil, this coloring agent is also extremely difficult to find. At that time, the coloring agents used in Yuan blue and white porcelain were from Su Ma Liqing, which was imported from Iran, had dried up in the late Ming Dynasty and was not imported. My dad sent people to Iran to collect and purchase, and he could only get a little from a traditional craftsman. "
"The raw materials are so exhausted, so how can we start a company?" Yang Zimei sweated. Although she knew that the raw materials of the imitation Yuan blue and white were scarce, but did not expect that it would be so difficult to find. Without the raw materials, how could the company go on?
"It can only be divided into two levels. The real Makura soil and Suma Liqing make first-class imitation blue and white flowers, while the others have to use the mud tires close to Makura soil and imitate the ingredients of Suma Liqing to match. The coloring agent. However, this is not easy to prepare. Selling this coloring agent alone makes more money than white powder, and it is not illegal. "Min Gang explained.
"Are there any finished products?" Yang Zimei asked with interest.
"I just made a blue and white bowl, but Luo Bai said it was a failure." Min Gang said.
"Well, it is a failed product. When painting, the hand shook slightly, causing the picture to fail." Luo Bai said helplessly.
"It's okay, I'll take a look."
Min Gang carefully took out a blue and white porcelain bowl from the office.
For Luo Bai, although this is a failed product, for Min Gang, this is the first bowl he opened the company, which is of great significance.
Yang Zimei took over the blue and white porcelain bowl.
This bowl feels very good, smooth and tender, and has a soft waxy feel. No matter the shape or decoration, or even the tires and glazes, they are exactly the same as the blue and white.
If she hadn't opened her eyes to see, she could not see that this was not an antique bowl.
This blue-and-white picture is also very well painted, delicate and detailed, just like the light blue after the rain, which makes people look relaxed and happy.
"Where's the failure?"
Yang Zimei looked for Luo Bai's failure, but couldn't find it.
"Well, here, very subtle." Min Gang pointed to the petals of one of the flowers.
Sure enough, there was a slightly longer line passing by that petal edge, but I didn't really see it without carefully looking at it, and it didn't affect the senses of the whole flower.
