Chapter 299: Man and Kiln Integration

"It's a pity that ceramics are declining now. If they go up for a few hundred years, maybe someone can take over."

"I heard that a bounty order was also issued on the Internet, but no one took it."

"The whole country looks to Xincheng for ceramics, and Xincheng looks to Taiji for ceramics. If Taiji can't do it, who else can?"

...

Listening to their discussions, Lin Feng couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Is it so weird? No one can take it?"

Pei Zhiwan smiled confidently and said, "Everyone will take it, right? I'll take it."

The people around him burst into laughter.

"Girl, do you think you are kneading mud? Even if you are kneading mud, I'm afraid you are not as good as boys."

An old man in the crowd stroked his goatee with disdain and laughed.

Pei Zhiwan heard this and knew that he looked down on women.

"Old man, if I can do it, are you willing to bet with me?"

She saw that the old man should also be a ceramic craftsman, so she asked with a smile.

The old man responded without hesitation: "No problem, girl, how do you bet?"

"If I can't do it, I will let you punish me and let me do whatever I want. If I do, you just need to recognize that women are as good as men." Pei Zhiwan didn't gamble for the sake of gambling, so he didn't embarrass the old man. Winning is just winning. When the

old man heard this tone, he was obviously ignorant of the world. He shouted: "Okay, everyone be a witness, let's go."

Then he walked in front and led the way to Taiji Ceramics, followed by many people watching the excitement.

Along the way, more and more people followed to Taiji Ceramics.

Lin Feng was unsure. He approached Pei Zhiwan with concern and asked in a low voice: "Zhiwan, can you do it?"

Pei Zhiwan turned her head and glanced at him indifferently, and asked back with a curled lip: "Do you think I can't do it?"

Lin Feng smiled awkwardly. He really had no clue. He had never heard that she could burn kilns.

But he couldn't hit Pei Zhiwan either, after all, she had many hidden skills.

"Zhiwan, you can do it, you can definitely do it."

Di Chen also got the news quickly.

"President Di, the bounty order for Taiji Ceramics was picked up by a strange young woman, and she is now rushing to Taiji."

"Young woman?" Di Chen frowned unconsciously, and thought of Pei Zhiwan at the first time.

"The young woman picked up, and there was a young man beside her."

Di Chen was sure that it was Pei Zhiwan, and she was with Lin Feng.

Then he changed his clothes, dressed up, and went to Taiji, hiding in the crowd.

The old master of Taiji Ceramics was wearing coarse cloth clothes and trousers, a double-breasted top, gray hair, and vigorous. He looked like he was in his sixties, but Pei Zhiwan checked the information on the Internet and found out that he was already over eighty years old.

"This girl, can you take over the new Taiji firing? Can you tell me where you inherited it from?"

Pei Zhiwan shook his head and smiled, "It's not inherited, but a wild way."

In fact, she had learned from a non-hereditary inheritor of handmade ceramics in her previous life, but if she told them, they would not know.

"You dare to take on a wild way?" The old master sneered.

The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, booing, and so on.

Pei Zhiwan was not angry, but said calmly: "Since the old patriarch does not believe it, I can just find a pottery embryo and let me burn it for you to see if it is the right way?"

This made everyone interested, and they wanted to see how good her pottery skills were.

"Old patriarch, agree to this girl, so that we can open our eyes."

"Since this girl dares to accept it, she must have her ability."

"Let her burn it, and I will compensate her if it is damaged."

...

All of them wanted to see Pei Zhiwan excited and let the old patriarch agree.

The old patriarch had no choice but to agree to let Pei Zhiwan burn the kiln.

He then took Pei Zhiwan to the earthen kiln and handed her a ceramic vase with patchwork decoration.

The patchwork process is to dig out the concave blocks in the pottery body and fill them with the desired colored clay.

This increases the difficulty of the kiln firing process and tests the skills of the kiln craftsmen. It is easy for novices to fire defective products.

There are many residual stickers on the ceramic vase, which are clearly props for students to practice residual stickers.

Many of the onlookers are ceramic craftsmen. They naturally understand the difficulty of firing this vase, and they all have expressions of watching a good show on their faces.

Pei Zhiwan is not in a hurry. He follows the ceramic firing steps and fires in an orderly manner.

The fire sequence begins, ignites the light, starts a low fire, removes the moisture from the ceramic, and starts to apply ink and remove the ink.

Then medium fire, lion fire, medium fire... until the last step of sealing the fire.

Pei Zhiwan is careful and serious in every step, regardless of observing the charcoal fire in the stove and the situation in the kiln, and judging and mastering the fire of each step by looking and smelling.

Without seeing the finished product, the ceramic craftsmen knew that Pei Zhiwan had made it.

They all showed a look of shock on their faces. They didn't expect that this young girl from another place could make kilns so skillfully, comparable to an old craftsman with many years of kiln-making experience.

"Where are you from? How do you know how to make kilns?"

Someone asked loudly, not believing what they saw.

Pei Zhiwan smiled and replied, "I just went to Tongcheng to work with others and learned some hand-made pottery methods."

The old patriarch stared at him closely and asked, "Which family in Tongcheng? I know those famous ceramic craftsmen in Tongcheng."

Pei Zhiwan replied calmly, "I learned it secretly. Besides, I am a summer intern. I will go home after the summer vacation. Who will recognize me?"

The old patriarch finally couldn't hide his shock on his face: "You learned it secretly during the summer vacation, and you have such ability? Isn't this a slap in the face of us old guys who have been firing kilns for decades?"

Pei Zhiwan couldn't help shaking her head and laughing when she heard this. She might not mean to slap them in the face.

It's just that she can't tell the truth. After all, they are not from the same world.

"Maybe I was born to be rewarded by the ancestors. I have also read many books on pottery."

"Old Patriarch, can you let me try the ceramics you want to make perfect?"

The old Patriarch thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."

Then he ordered someone to bring the ceramic embryos of the twelve zodiac wine vessels over.

Pei Zhiwan couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing it: "It's really a clever idea. If it is fired to perfection, it will definitely attract attention."

After that, she directed the twelve zodiac ceramic embryos to be placed in the kiln.

Pei Zhiwan was more cautious with every step.

She was in the kiln with her whole body and soul, ignoring the noisy onlookers, blending into the kiln, perceiving with her heart, firing, and going through the firing sequence step by step.

The old Patriarch looked at her current state with a shocked expression on his face.

He had been pursuing the kiln firing realm for most of his life, the unity of man and kiln, and he actually saw it in a young girl.

Then he showed an excited expression on his face. This kiln was definitely a success, and it was the effect he wanted. When

Mr. Shao heard the news, he also asked his apprentice to push him over to watch.
