Chapter 368 Name
Chu Zhuang took Zheng Quan and three people to re-fire a kiln of porcelain.
Because of the previous failure experience, the porcelain produced by Chuzhuang this time is all selected with a successful ratio. In the third kiln, the success rate of production has been guaranteed to reach more than 90.00%.
It's just that the firing of porcelain has never been a [-]% sure thing. Once any step in the process, especially the firing temperature is wrong, all the porcelain in this kiln will be destroyed.
What Chu Zhuang can do is to tell them the successful methods and steps, and other specific operations. He will not be able to watch them personally in the future, and they still have to be careful.
Looking at the batches of jade porcelain taken out of the cave, Yun Zhanfei spit and swallowed, his heart was shocked.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Chu Zhuang asked as he watched Yun Zhanfei come in.
"Second brother said that he has something to discuss with you." Yun Zhanfei came back to his senses, and immediately stated his purpose.
Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, told Zheng Quan and others a few words, and then flew out with Yun Mengxi and Yun Zhanfei.
Seeing Chu Zhuang and the others come in, Yunhong put down the jade porcelain bottle in his hand, poured them a cup of tea and said, "Let's have a sip of tea first and rest."
Chu Zhuang nodded and did not refuse. The temperature in the cave was high and he sweated a lot. Naturally, he needed to replenish a lot of water.
After drinking the tea, Chu Zhuang asked: "Second Brother, what is the matter with me?"
Yunhong nodded and said, "Well, now that the jade vase has been fired, it's time for us to name our wine, and it will take time to make a plaque."
"Name?" Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what the second brother thinks?"
Yunhong sighed, and said helplessly: "I have thought of several names, but I feel that none of them are worthy of our wine."
As he spoke, Yunhong took out a bottle of wine in a jade porcelain bottle from the side. The red wine was gently shaking in the bottle, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.
"So I want to ask, what are your thoughts." Yunhong looked at Chu Zhuang and said.
Chu Zhuang lowered his eyes and pondered. When he mentioned the name of red wine, his first reaction was Cabernet Sauvignon.
Most of these wines are named after the taste or the grape variety, but Cabernet Sauvignon is different, it is because of the color.
The name Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a poem by Li Taibai: "Cabernet Sauvignon moves golden light, and the sun is full of Senhaiqiao."
Chi refers to red, and xia means rosy light. This name means that the wine is as bright as red rosy light.
Isn't their wine right now in line with this artistic conception?
Chu Zhuang thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote down the words Cabernet Sauvignon.
"Cabernet Sauvignon!"
Seeing the name, Yunhong's eyes lit up. It was afternoon, and the sun was slanting to the west. Looking outside, he could see the gorgeous rays of light surging in the sky.
This color and appearance are similar to the wine in the bottle!
"Good name! Let's call it Cabernet Sauvignon!" Yunhong said a little excitedly.
Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong looked at each other and blinked, the name of the wine was not important to them, what was important was that it tasted good.
"As long as the second brother likes it." Chu Zhuang said with a smile.
After the name was confirmed, Yunhong felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "That's it, I'll arrange someone to prepare it right away. Mr. Jiao had promised me to send me a letter before, and now it's time for him to write this signboard. !"
The signboard is written by Jiao Changning, a calligraphy master, and the level of their shop has been raised a bit.
"It couldn't be better like this." Chu Zhuang also agreed with this, Jiao Changning's words are hard to find!
"It's a problem to have wine bottles but no wine glasses." Chu Zhuang looked at the wine bottles on the table and frowned.
This wine still has to be poured out, this wine is used in other glasses, but it is not as beautiful as their jade porcelain!
"Well, I've thought about this before." Yunhong pursed his lips and nodded, "However, there are not enough manpower, and there are not enough caves..."
At present, Chuzhuang has been able to produce jade porcelain, and the success rate of production is also very high.
But the problem is that there are not enough caves and manpower, and they can't make enough wine bottles, so how can they make wine glasses!
Yunhong told Chu Zhuang about the current difficulties, and blamed himself: "This is my fault. I didn't investigate this clearly before. If I could have prepared earlier, I wouldn't be in such a tight situation right now."
"Second brother, I suddenly brought up the burning of wine bottles to you. How can I blame you!" Chu Zhuang shook his head and said in disapproval.
They hadn't thought about this matter before, Chu Zhuang brought it up suddenly, Yunhong and the others were able to arrange it to this point, which is already very good.
If there are too many requirements, it is too harsh.
"That's right, second brother, you've done a good job!" Yunmengxi nodded and said, "And it's not the time to blame yourself, let's think about how to solve the problem."
Chu Zhuang said that it is useless to blame yourself and regret what has happened, and you should find a way to solve the problem first.
"Mengxi is right, second brother, don't blame yourself anymore, let's find a solution together!" Yun Zhanfei patted Yunhong on the shoulder and comforted him.
Looking at them, Yunhong nodded movedly, and responded: "Yes! Let's find a solution together!"
"Actually, it's not that difficult."
Chu Zhuang pondered for a while, then said thoughtfully.
"Chu Zhuang, have you figured out a way?!" Everyone looked at Chu Zhuang in surprise and asked.
Chu Zhuang glanced at everyone, nodded slightly and said, "I have a little idea."
"The cave must still need to be built." Chu Zhuang said.
"Well, I'm already making arrangements right now. The land here is vast and sparsely populated, so it's easy to build more caves!" Yunhong immediately said, "It's about manpower, we don't have enough craftsmen!"
"Aren't the villagers in Qingshan Village a ready-made manpower!" Chu Zhuang said looking at the few people.
"Villager?!" Yunhong was stunned, blinked his eyes, and said in a flash: "But firing porcelain, how can an unskilled craftsman do it?"
"That's right, it takes years to train a craftsman!" Yun Zhanfei nodded.
This firing is now a handicraft, so can you find anyone to do it?
"Do you still remember the assembly line I told you about?" Chu Zhuang asked instead of explaining in a hurry.
"Of course I remember!" Yun Zhanfei said excitedly, obviously he was also very impressed by this.
This wine is produced according to the production method of this assembly line, and the efficiency is gradually increasing. Compared with the traditional method, the efficiency has increased by ten times, and it is more than that.
And the quality is also higher, because everyone only needs to master a small part of the skills, so the craftsmanship is very skilled and it is not easy to make mistakes.
Speaking of the production method of the assembly line, Yun Zhanfei felt that he could not express his love for it with all the words he had learned all his life.
"Chu Zhuang, do you mean that the fired jade porcelain can also be produced according to the production method of the assembly line?" Yun Hong came to his senses, looked at Chu Zhuang and asked.
Chu Zhuang nodded slightly and said, "Not bad!"
"But, is it convenient to keep it secret?" Yun Hong frowned and asked hesitantly.
This is different from wine. All wine is made by our own people, and it is not difficult to keep it secret.
They trust the soldiers in Qingshan Village, but they are not sure about the soldiers' families!
Money has always moved people's hearts. Faced with such a temptation, can these people resist it?
"Porcelain clay needs to be proportioned. The formula is in our hands. Even if they get the porcelain clay, they will not be able to develop the ingredients." Chu Zhuang replied.
This bone china can't be fired casually, it needs a strict recipe and then follow strict steps to fire it, if there is a slight mistake in any link, there is only one result - failure!
"That's good!" Yunhong nodded reassuringly.
Chuzhuang wrote down the steps of firing porcelain, and the villagers can do some preparatory work, such as drawing embryos, lighting fires, and digging clay. These tasks are simple but cumbersome and require a lot of labor.
The most difficult part of firing can be handed over to the apprentices in the workshop.
"If an apprentice is proficient, basically a team of two can be in charge of a cave." Chu Zhuang said.
"In this way, we don't need to find craftsmen from other places!" Yunhong said excitedly.
According to Chu Zhuang, their current problem can be easily solved.
"Well, you can find strong men for physical work such as digging pottery soil and lighting fires. For example, you can find some women and children with more dexterous hands, such as drawing embryos and setting molds. Of course, men can also do it if they can. Train them first. In a few days, you only need to knead a few simple models, and the smart ones will be able to get started soon, and then just pay them the price according to the finished products they hand in." Chu Zhuang suggested.
"Can't we hire them to work?" Yunhong asked after thinking about it.
"The efficiency of hiring is not as high as paying by the piece. In order to make more money, they will definitely pay more than you hired." Chu Zhuang explained.
Hire a person, this person has a fixed salary for a month, he is likely to cheat, or be lazy, or produce substandard products, there is no way to guarantee these, they do not have so many people all the time stare.
If they pay by the piece, they will get as much money as the qualified products they hand over. If they do more, they will naturally earn more. The money they earn is all their own. Doesn’t this positive performance improve?
"Well, that's the truth!" Yun Zhanfei nodded, thought for a while, and added: "In order to prevent them from taking the porcelain clay away, we have to ask them to work in the places we stipulate. "
"Well, this village is so big, just find a place." Chu Zhuang nodded.
The entire village is under the name of the Yun family, so it is very easy to temporarily build a workshop.
