Chang Ge almost spat out the gruel in his mouth.

Look what Liang Yun is wearing!

High heels, wide-leg pants. There is a lavender sweater inside, and a black cashmere coat outside, the kind that reaches to the ankles...

"...Xiao Liang is here!" I guess a few seniors also felt that she was dressed very awkwardly, so they were stunned for a moment before saying hello.

Only Director Guo said with a straight face: "Xiao Liang, didn't I tell you yesterday to wear something lighter?"

Liang Yun looked innocent: "I know, I'm not wearing a skirt, and my heels are not high."

"Aren't your heels high enough?" Director Guo's eyes widened. "

It is indeed lower than her usual...

Chang Gexin said, burying his head in the bowl and eating hard.

"Don't worry, director!" Of course Liang Yun couldn't lose face in front of Chang Ge, so she hurriedly said, "I usually dress like this. It's not even possible for me to dance and run at this level."

Seeing her insistence, Director Guo shook his head: "Are you full? Let's go when we are full."

After saying that, he looked at Chang Ge and asked, "Aren't you full yet?"

"Ah!" Chang Ge was already full and quickly raised his head to wipe his mouth: "I'm full, I'm full."

So the group set off.

The ruins of Ru Kiln are in a village more than 100 kilometers south of the county. The village is called Ru Village.

The color of Ru kiln is said to come from heaven. Later, during the reign of Emperor Shizong of Zhou Dynasty, a kind of porcelain called "Chai kiln" was fired, which was very similar to our current Ru porcelain. But it was lost in the Northern Song Dynasty, and only the oral instructions made at that time are left, which is the familiar poem: after the rain, the sky is blue and the clouds are broken, this color is for the future.

During the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, those in power spent all their manpower and material resources trying to surpass the previous dynasty and produce a Ru kiln that could rival it. Later, they actually made the same Ru kiln.

"The porcelain body of Ru kiln is different from other porcelain bodies. It is not white. It can be seen from the edge, with a light purple color, which is called "incense gray body." And the glaze color of the porcelain, whether it is translucent or opaque, shows A very soft and pleasing azure color with slight glaze crackling known as ‘crab claw’.”

The director of the ruins museum personally received them and explained the history of Ru porcelain to everyone. Chang Ge and all the seniors listened with great interest, only Liang Yun, who was lagging behind, looked ugly.

"Alas! Later generations have been imitating this kind of color and effect. Whether it was the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty or the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors of the Qing Dynasty, they all made their own styles, but in terms of imitation technology, they could only Achieve the level of admiring the appearance of a god!"

The old curator said with regret: "Today, there are only about 60 pieces of Ru porcelain handed down from the official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty in the world, and most of them are in the Forbidden City."

"Then... why is it so difficult to make this color?" Chang Ge raised his hand.

The curator smiled: "Put it down. We still don't know the reason why it's so difficult. In short, we just can't get the same crab claw pattern as before. In the mid-1990s, our experts believed that the reason why Ru porcelain can produce this effect is , because raw agate ore was added during the firing process.”

"But with the development of science and technology, experts have found after careful research that although agate powder and the main minerals in the glaze are not mutually exclusive, they do not help to change or improve the color. It can be said that the only clue that can crack the secret recipe of Ru Kiln is It has been cut off, making this cultural heritage even more rare and precious now.”

Xunzhong pointed to a piece of Ru porcelain in the glass cabinet: "So these are all new products now?"

"Well, what we display here are all fired at the official kiln that was reopened later. You can take pictures of them. When you have the opportunity to go to the Forbidden City and compare them, you will know that the difference is still very big."

Next, the curator took everyone to visit the abandoned official kiln. Everyone benefited a lot from this trip, and everyone also gained a new understanding of the characters in the play.

Of course, except for Liang Yun, she was always angry in the back. Because on the way here, the heel of her shoe got stuck in the crack of a stone and broke. While she felt distressed about the shoes worth tens of thousands of dollars, she felt ashamed at the same time.

The assistant on the set brought her a pair of sneakers that had been cleaned and not yet worn, but she found them too hard to wear. I don’t know how I managed to glue the broken heel back on, but it would fall off again after a while. She just limped along. Director Guo wanted to say something to her several times, but he couldn't hold back.

"Oh, what a pity this place is." After the tour, everyone returned to the car, and several veteran actors expressed their feelings.

Liu Guang sighed: "The roads here are not easy to get around, and it's too remote. The museum also feeds off the state's finances. It doesn't matter if there are tourists."

"That's why we old people like it. Young people don't even know what Ru porcelain is. Ah! They all know about blue and white porcelain. They keep talking about how valuable blue and white porcelain is. In fact, they don't understand it at all. They only hear it in songs."

Changge continued: "Actually, it's good to have some singing! At least it can let us know. Otherwise, many people wouldn't know what blue and white porcelain looks like if they haven't heard the song."

"That's not necessarily the case." Liang Yun finally found a chance to speak and mocked Chang Ge, "Those wealthy ladies have been collecting antiques since they were young. Not to mention the blue and white porcelain, the Ru porcelain we just looked at must have collected a lot of them. .”

Changge looked at her strangely: "Didn't you hear the curator say that all Ru porcelain today was made by later generations? The ones from the Northern Song Dynasty..."

"You don't understand!" Liang Yun interrupted her, "Even if it is rare, as long as you have money, you can't buy anything."

At this time, even Han Xiumei couldn't help but glance at her: "Xiao Liang, I did say just now that all the things handed down from the Northern Song Dynasty are national treasures, and most of them are in the Palace Museum!"

"Isn't there still a small part?" Liang Yun actually said.

Director Guo shook his head and asked the driver to drive.

The others also fell silent. Everyone could see that this girl was not easy to get along with, and Liu Guang even whispered to Xun Zhong quietly.

"Thankfully I'm not playing her father!"

Liang Yun was not blind either. She scolded several old men in her heart and once again confirmed that Fei Changge was in conflict with her. When she got back to the hotel, she didn't even eat and made an excuse to go back to the room, but Director Guo stopped her.

"I'm going to study in the kiln tomorrow. Don't wear clothes like today. It's best to wear sportswear, you hear me?"

How could Liang Yun dare to say anything? She nodded quickly and said with a flattering look on her face: "Don't worry, Director Guo, I will definitely not affect your studies."

Then Chang Ge heard her shouting as she went upstairs, probably because the heel of her shoe fell off again.

"You're back?" None of the assistants went because there was no room in the car. Qiao Mei got a glass of water for Changge and pressed her shoulder again, "I walked around the area in the morning and found out about some delicious restaurants. Let’s eat and see what’s going on later.”

"By the way, Liang Yun's assistant has eyes that reach to the top of her head. When I met her in the restaurant at noon, she looked as if she didn't want to see me, as if I didn't want to see her."

Chang Ge told Qiao Mei what happened to Liang Yun in the morning: "Do you think she brought it on herself? I bet her ankle must have been injured."

"Ah? Is she going to have a rest then? Will it affect us?" Qiao Mei's first reaction was not to be implicated by Liang Yun.

"No, she didn't even tell the director." Chang Ge smiled, "You underestimate her. Unless her foot is broken, she will definitely study obediently."

Liang Yun was indeed not in good condition. Her ankle was not swollen, but it was red and hurt with the slightest exertion.

"Should we wear flat shoes tomorrow?" The assistant rubbed her feet and suggested, "I heard that the environment in kiln burning places is not very good."

Liang Yun said angrily: "I know, luckily I brought a pair of sneakers." She popped a melon seed, "By the way, has my sportswear been ironed?"

"Okay, it's hanging on the balcony!"

"I'll wear that tomorrow."

The next day, everyone gathered together in high spirits and set off. When they arrived at the kiln burning place, they discovered that it was not that difficult at all. It was a very large porcelain factory. Cooperating with the crew and having a name is considered soft advertising, so the factory still takes it very seriously.

A young man was specially arranged to lead them around, from the selection of porcelain clay to shaping and entering and exiting the kiln. In addition to Ru Ci, they also make blue and white pastels, and even the now popular succulent flower pots.

"The temperature of the kiln where these flower pots are fired doesn't seem to be high..." Chang Ge asked.

The young man was surprised: "Miss Fei observed so carefully!"

Chang Ge smiled sheepishly: "Hey, it's mainly because my mother also raises a lot of meat, so I paid special attention to the flower pots."

"Our flowerpots are made in low-temperature kilns, while other porcelains are made in high-temperature kilns." The young man introduced to her, "High-temperature porcelain refers to porcelain fired by high-temperature kiln fire above 1,200 degrees."

"The higher the temperature, the greater the crystal density of the glaze, and the higher the strength of the porcelain surface, which is less likely to produce scratches. The firing temperature of low-temperature porcelain is generally 700-900 degrees. High-temperature porcelain has higher hardness and is naturally stronger. Low-temperature porcelain is naturally stronger. Porcelain is relatively brittle, and some cannot even be exposed to the sun."

The young man handed her a flower pot, and Chang Ge took it: "It's really beautiful!"

There are several little rabbits painted on it, which are very cute, and they are also studded with diamonds.

"In the past, our country basically used high-temperature kilns. Later, the country next door, Bangzi, used low-temperature kilns to burn flower pots, specifically to raise succulents. Because flower pots fired in low-temperature kilns absorb water very well, you see!"

He picked up the watering can next to him and sneered at the flower pot a few times. Chang Ge realized that it really took seconds!

"The biggest worry about raising succulents is that they are not breathable. Flower pots heated at low temperatures dry out quickly, so we have started doing it in the past few years." He pointed to the flower pots in the Changsinger and said, "Don't underestimate it. A certain treasure would cost more than 200 yuan for such a thing!"

Liu Guang on the side was shocked: "Such a thing? More than 200 yuan??"

"Yes!" the young man said with a smile, "We all hire good painters, and they only charge 100 yuan for a painting like this."

Liu Guang covered his heart and looked like he was about to faint. Changge smiled and supported him: "Dad! You must be strong!"

"Daughter, let's not burn your porcelain, let's burn flower pots!"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became particularly good. However, Chang Ge found that Liang Yun gave her a fierce look.
