The housekeeper and Qin Xuan both changed their expressions.
The surface of the azure wine jug is covered with fine dark reticular patterns, and the cracks in the glaze add a unique beauty to the porcelain.
At this moment, there was a crisp "ding" sound, which startled people.
"This is the sound of the glaze being startled," Xia Qianqian explained. "The cracks on this pot are not fixed when it comes out of the kiln, but occur continuously, just like the growth of a tree. A few days after it comes out of the kiln, the sound of the glaze being startled is incessant, and then it slowly disappears until it is silent. But after a few months or years, it will suddenly startle again."
"Is this something used by the emperor in the capital?" Qin Xuan walked over quickly and carefully observed the wine pot in Xia Qianqian's hand. No one in Maoshi Town could make such exquisite porcelain!
"It doesn't matter whether it's for imperial use or not. What the porcelain maker cares about is its beauty." Xia Qianqian carefully put away the wine jug.
Qin Xuan finally changed his gaze and looked at Xia Qianqian: "Do you really understand porcelain?"
"Although I only know a lot of theories at the moment, I believe that after my experiments, I can make good porcelain!" Xia Qianqian is full of confidence.
With her eyes of insight, her skillful painting skills, and her modern aesthetic concepts, she is bound to produce the best porcelain in Xuan Country!
"What's your name?" Qin Xuan asked.
"Xia Qianqian. Xia Qianqian from Yangliu Village, Pingning Town." Xia Qianqian held her head high and chest puffed out, and loudly announced her name.
Qin Xuan frowned and looked at the housekeeper. The housekeeper shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
Xia Qianqian was a little embarrassed and said, "My family makes tiles, and we are just planning to switch to making porcelain, so I came to Maoshi Town to buy porcelain clay. It's normal that you don't recognize me now."
"Tiles and porcelain are different. In addition to the materials, the craftsmanship is also different." Qin Xuan reminded.
"I know. Master Qin Xuan, I drew a blueprint of a porcelain kiln myself. You can take a look at it."
Xia Qianqian took out the blueprint of the porcelain kiln. Qin Xuan took it and took a look. He frowned again: "Your kiln is not the same as mine..."
"This is the porcelain kiln that I improved myself. Master Qin Xuan, take a closer look. Is this more conducive to balancing the temperature inside the kiln?"
Qin Xuan read it carefully several times and nodded: "Maybe so."
Xia Qianqian took back the blueprint and carefully put it back in her arms: "Master Qin Xuan, since we are all in the same business, can you sell me some porcelain clay?"
The housekeeper said sternly, "No! You can't break the rules!"
Xia Qianqian glared at the housekeeper and looked at Qin Xuan eagerly. For the sake of porcelain clay, she was willing to flatter him once: "Master Qin Xuan is an artist, can you understand my dream?"
"I understand." Qin Xuan nodded. Just as Xia Qianqian felt a little hopeful, he changed the subject and said, "But no."
Xia Qianqian's face darkened: "Master Qin Xuan, we are all people who pursue art. We devote ourselves to firing porcelain in order to fire more exquisite porcelain. I have the skills, so please give me some convenience in terms of raw materials. I am willing to pay according to the market price."
"This is the rule of Maoshi Town." said the housekeeper.
Xia Qianqian decided to ignore the butler as he always got in the way.
"Master Qin Xuan, for the sake of our common dream, please go to the bathroom once!"
"Sorry, I can't break the rules." Although Qin Xuan was moved, he still rejected Xia Qianqian.
Xia Qianqian was furious, but she could do nothing about it. The one who had the porcelain clay was the boss! If she couldn't buy the best porcelain clay, she couldn't make good porcelain. What should she do
At this moment, Qin Ge changed his clothes and came out, sneering with contempt: "What are the rules? You people are really particular!"
