The thoughts in his heart turned back and forth, but Qi Runyun didn't intend to let his mother know, "It's good, he respects me very much, and he doesn't restrict me to the backyard, maybe I will have the opportunity to come to see you and my father and brothers in the future." ”

was worried about whether her son would report good news or bad news, but Mrs. Qi had no choice but to keep admonishing, "If you don't have a good time, come home, you know?" ”

Nodding, Qi Runyun comforted his mother, and then helped his mother to walk to the group of people who were still fighting for wine, "Okay, it's rare for me to come back, don't drink with me, but drink with others." Helping his mother to sit on the top seat, pouring wine, Qi Runyun naturally sat down beside Song Qingyi.

"You have something to eat, and let me talk to my brothers for a while." Although Song Qingyi didn't say it explicitly before he came, but yesterday they chatted for a long time, and he vaguely felt that their conversation gave his husband a little inspiration, so he hurriedly took Uncle Nan to the study, and on the way they set off this morning, Song Qingyi also asked about some things about the family workshop, but he had been away from home for a long time and didn't remember much, so he had a number, in addition to accompanying him to visit relatives, Song Qingyi also planned to talk about things with his father.

In this case, he naturally won't let people get too drunk, and that's about it.

Because of his sitting and attitude, the Qi family father and son finally reined in, and everyone began to eat while chatting about the things after the separation, Qi Runyun also took the opportunity to let the maid behind him withdraw the wine and replace it with tea, and by the way, he sent some sobering tea to Song Qingyi and the second brother who drank the most.

After the meal, Qi Runyun and his mother and brothers stayed in the lobby to talk, while Song Qingyi respectfully asked Master Qi about the impact of the furnace fire on the mold.

But I didn't expect Song Qingyi and Master Qi to start chatting about speculation, after all, before he came, he specially asked Uncle Nan about the furnace fire, Uncle Nan, as the best color-burning master in the Song family's glaze factory, naturally has his own set of know-how about the control of furnace temperature and heat, although a conversation can't let Song Qingyi learn how fine the technique, but after so many years, although he no longer burns the glaze, but instead precipitates some ideas, Uncle Nan told Song Qingyi some skills, and did not restrict him from passing on - Although Uncle Nan pays attention to the inheritance of the handicraft he eats, but the skills he learned from his master were not handed over to Song Qingyi, and most of what he talked about was the experience summed up in the past few years, and he also knew that Song Qingyi, as the eldest young master of the Song family, would not really become a color-burning master in the future, but it was not advisable to master a glass factory that did not understand the tricks at all, so he had such a practice.

As a mold-making Qi family, the sensitivity to the furnace fire is not inferior to Uncle Nan, after all, if a good mold can't withstand the test of the furnace fire, if it can make the glass in him become dazzling.

So at first, Master Qi, who didn't treat Song Qingyi very much, also began to seriously explain the mold to Song Qingyi - at first, because the strong attitude of the Song family caused their family to be separated many years ago, he naturally didn't want to see Song Qingyi, and when he heard that the young master of the Song family was unwilling to inherit the family business, most of them stayed in the academy and did not want to go home, so he was even more anxious about his son. But this time he accompanied his son home, with a good attitude, although his son was not intimate enough, he also respected his son, and he was more protective of his own children between words, knowing that his family deliberately poured him wine and did not get angry and did not refuse, which made him look at it highly, and now although there are some omissions in the conversation, it can be seen that he is serious about the skills of the glass, so the depression in his heart finally dissipated some. Of course, the most important thing is his son's attitude - after the conversation, the two of them went directly to the workshop in the back.

Qi Runyun had to shake his head when he saw it, but he hadn't set foot in his own workshop for many years, and he couldn't help but be a little distracted when he remembered the scene when his father took him to teach him how to make molds in the workshop when he was a child.

In the workshop, Master Qi took Song Qingyi to walk through the big house of pinching molds, through the yard, to a few flat kilns with large and small chimneys behind the house, and after the kiln, you can see some masters back and forth, some of the older and some of the young.

"The furnace fire has both civil and martial arts, you should be familiar with this statement, the doctor in the medical hall will explain the civil and military fire when prescribing medicine, but you should not know how the civil and military fire is controlled. In fact, it is also easy to say, different fuels burn out different temperatures. Ordinary people burn cow dung and horse dung at home, and large households pay attention to some clean materials such as chaff. And the fire made of charcoal is called "martial fire". However, whether it is a simmer or a martial fire, the temperature is always unattainable, and it is okay to decoct the herbs and cook the vegetables, but not to burn the glass. As he walked, Master Qi started to tell Song Qingyi from the most fundamental place of the fire.

Although Uncle Nan had also talked about it, Song Qingyi was still listening carefully to the side.

"So the glaze uses kiln fire, all kinds of different kilns, you see this." Master Qi first pointed to a kiln with a long slope against the wall of the courtyard, the kiln is probably not too long, and there are recesses like keels on both sides, "This is a dragon kiln, but I am not a serious firing kiln here after all, just to test the fire resistance of the mold, so the scale is not large, and the real dragon kiln should have a length of several zhang." ”

Song Qingyi had heard of such a kiln in the book and Uncle Nan's mouth, and he knew that this kind of kiln would generally be built along the hillside for a long time in the real kiln, and there was a Linyan hole in the keel depression for adding firewood and heating, and there must be one in his own glaze factory, but he didn't expect a small one to be built in the Qi family workshop. No wonder Qi Mansion is located on the outskirts of the city, and there are many such kilns that cannot be built in the city.

"There is a saying in the ancient books of the ancestors: 'Where gold is cast, gold and tin, black and turbid are exhausted, and yellow and white are second; Yellow and white are exhausted, followed by blue and white; The green and white qi is exhausted, the green qi is second, and then it can be cast. As the fire rises, the color of the furnace fire changes from dark black to purple red, which is commonly known as 'furnace fire red', and then from red to yellow, and when the flame shines, it gradually turns white, and finally from white to blue, which is 'pure fire'. The same is true for glass. When he arrived at the edge of the dragon kiln, Master Qi patted a little boy who was adding firewood to the Linyan Cave and made way for Song Qingyi.

Song Qingyi understood the location of Master Qi, took over the work of the child, added firewood from the Linyan Cave, and checked the fire according to the words of Master Qi, and saw that the hot air in the two adult fist-sized Linyan Caves was rolling with red and yellow flames constantly rushing out of the hole.

"The temperature of this dragon kiln can only reach above the 'furnace fire red', below the 'furnace fire is pure green', and you can fire three-color or four-color colored glass, and no matter how many colors are mixed, this furnace fire is not enough to burn." Watching Song Qingyi's movements change from clumsy to smooth, Master Qi smiled slightly behind him.

When Qi Runyun was accompanied by his second brother into the backyard of the workshop, what he saw was the scene of his husband adding firewood by the kiln, and his father watching behind him and saying a few words from time to time.

"Huh? It seems that this Young Master Song has some ability, and he can let his father guide him in firing the kiln so quickly. The second brother behind him was a little surprised.

Qi Runyun's heart is transparent, his father is because his relationship with Song Qingyi is a foregone conclusion, and the two will be together for a lifetime in the future, and Song Qingyi's expression this time makes his father quite satisfied, and his husband is seriously fulfilling what he said that night, and both parties have hearts to have the current scene.
