Chapter Thirty-Three: The Exquisite Vase

  Ten newly-made vases are reflected in everyone's eyes.

  Only the vase was seen, all over the body was bright red, shining brightly, dazzling to the eyes, and people couldn't help but walk in to take a closer look. The vase was as beautiful as jade, with a color like frozen fat, lightly tapping it sounded like a clear and crisp sound of a chime stone, the hidden flower pattern on top was shyly revealing its beauty.

  The flowers on the vase are like autumn clouds and winter plum blossoms, with colors so delicate they seem to be dripping with dew. The surface of the flowers is covered with a rose-red hue, making them appear even more subtle and refined, as if they were three-dimensional, quietly floating on the water's surface, exuding fragrance and beauty.

  The slanting sunlight shines on the vase, as if shot onto the surface of a lake, with a reddish glow. When walking in to view it, the smooth surface of the vase can reflect people's images.

  The entire vase is so exquisite that it leaves everyone speechless, the vase is beautiful and bright, delicate and intricate, with a radiant appearance, leaving no room for criticism.

  They were used to seeing those dull, earthy-colored ceramics, and it was no wonder that they were shocked by the beauty of these ceramics. Yue Kang also took a closer look at his ceramic vase, feeling extremely rough, if this had been in his previous era, it would not have been presentable, let alone being trash, the color was uneven, and many places had bubbles.

  Although it does not affect the overall beauty of the vase, if an expert were to comment on it, they would definitely say that this is a low-grade counterfeit.

  But everything is different in this era.

  It's been a long time...

  Everyone came back to their senses, and the three bosses stuttered: "I...is this really made by your White family?"

  Bai Miao Yun also recovered from the shock, and her face became more vibrant, suppressing the excitement in her heart, "This is indeed made by my White family, but the credit goes to him." Bai Miao Yun did not take all the credit for herself, pointing at Yue Kang who was still admiring the porcelain with his chin in hand.

  "Unbelievable, unbelievable! I didn't expect Young Master Yue to have such talent at a young age. Today, Li has truly broadened his horizons! Young Master Yue's ceramic techniques are unparalleled in history! These few pieces of ceramics can be said to be treasures among men!" Boss Li sincerely admired the young man before him.

  "Ah, no, no! My humble skills are truly not worthy of such refined company." But in his heart, he was secretly pleased with the feeling of being admired.

  "Mr. Yue is really too modest, if such craftsmanship can't even enter the grand hall, then other families' porcelain should be destroyed directly." The three bosses hurriedly flattered, and in their hearts, they were also secretly pleased with themselves for coming to make amends with the White family today, feeling that this was the most correct thing they had done in their lives.

  Yue Kang smiled but did not speak.

  Meng Tang excitedly patted Yue Kang's shoulder, "Haha haha haha, my wise nephew, I didn't misjudge you! Your uncle is proud of you!" He laughed a few more times with a pleasant mood.

  You can't be any gentler, using so much force like this. If I didn't have martial arts skills to rely on, my shoulders wouldn't be able to withstand it. Yue Kang thought to himself, his face showing a forced smile.

  The workers all looked at him with admiring and worshipful eyes.

  Bai Miao Yun couldn't help but glance at Yue Kang, who subtly stuck his tongue out at her. Bai Miao Yun's face flushed with embarrassment as she quickly turned her head away.

  "The day when the White family revives the official kiln is worth waiting for!" The three bosses were all enthusiastic.

  "Borrowing good words from three bosses." Bai Miao Yun waved away the unpleasantness of yesterday, and today's mood was greatly improved, her delicate face glowing with a healthy complexion.

  "Miss Bai, if you want to sell these porcelain pieces, please contact us first. We will always support the Bai family!" The three bosses expressed their attitude.

  Bai Miao Yun said: "Definitely definitely."

  The three bosses all had a relatively good complexion and bid farewell with their hands clasped together. Bai Miao Yun saw them out.

  After Bai Miao sent three people back.

  Yu Kang, Bai Miao Yun and Meng Tang Xin entered a room together.

  Bai Miao's attitude towards Yue Kang was no longer as cold as before, she knew what this batch of ceramics meant, the ceramic business of the Bai family had reached a new level.

  Meng Tang Xin couldn't help but think that his nephew's wife's husband was very pleasing to the eye. Just look at those thick eyebrows and that straight nose, one glance and you can tell he's no ordinary person. As soon as he entered the house, he praised Yue Kang excessively.

  "Does Uncle want to learn the ceramics technique I've developed?" Yuē Kāng said lightly, exhaling mist.

  "What?" Meng Tang took a step back in surprise, daring not to believe that Yue Kang would really pass on the technique to him. "Nephew, are you telling the truth?"

  "Uncle, would I still cheat you?" Yue Kang said calmly.

  Bai Miao's heart was also shocked, to know that such a technique was top-notch wherever it went, and yet he had passed it on to someone else, not even teaching her, his own daughter, the art of ceramic production.

  To know that for a ceramicist, being able to create a new and unique piece of ceramics is a lifelong dream, the technique must be revered like an ancestral master. It's no wonder that Yue Kang would want to pass on his techniques to Meng Tangxin, and both men couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

  Because of the previous two days making ceramics, many details were done by Yue Kang alone, at the most critical moment, no one was allowed to see, and even two materials were unknown.

  Meng Tang was even more confused and didn't know what to do.

  Yu Kang had already written down the formula and precautions, including the proportions, on paper. Meng Tangxin, who had been making ceramics for over 20 years, gradually understood under Yu Kang's explanation.

  Yue Kang handed the paper to Meng Tangxin, whose hands were shaking slightly as he took it. His emotions were more excited than when he received a promotion edict, and he almost burst into tears on the spot.

  He would have liked to kneel down and thank Yue Kang, he was so excited that he felt it hard to breathe.

  "Uncle, if we talk about ceramic techniques, I'm not as good as you. However, my formula is quite unique, and I've written it all down clearly. As for the color and firing temperature of ceramics, you'll have to study them bit by bit. Different temperatures will produce different colors - there are many kinds, such as bean green, powder blue, rose red, flame red, ivory yellow, peacock green, and so on. I've also written about these on paper. This time, the ceramic piece I made is called underglaze color."

  "Besides underglaze blue and white, there are many other techniques such as overglaze enameling, glaze red, Doucai, openwork, Qinghua etc. All these await your research. Also, our porcelain cannot be limited to making only utensils, figures or animals, it's worth exploring further. You can create robust men with bulging muscles and wide-open eyes, or elegant women with high hair buns and flowing sleeves, slender and refined, full of charm."

  "Animals also have many things that can be made, such as horses and camels, of course these are things that rich people buy to decorate."

  "Alright, Uncle, that's all I have to say. As for how far the White family's ceramics industry will go in the future, it's up to you now." Yue Kang had said everything he knew, and this uncle was still very loyal to the White family, there was no need to hide anything, besides if he didn't tell Meng Tang Xiu, let Yue Kang make the kind of porcelain he talked about himself.

  He really can't do it, after all, he hasn't studied ceramics much.

  Colored glaze ceramics are going on sale in this era, and Yue Kang can't help but feel proud.
