Chapter 194: Success
Hearing the master's words, Gao Hong had no choice but to pick persimmons. I still have some doubts in my heart, this persimmon is not ripe and astringent. Is there any way to eat it without astringency?
But anyway, it's a wild tree in the mountains, and if I don't pick it today, I'm afraid that no one will pick it when it's ripe after a while. It's better to pick them all back, but you can see what the master said about other ways to eat.
Fu Qingqian and Gao Hong picked a basket full of persimmons, because they were too full to walk very carefully on the way back.
Originally, the mountain road was not easy to walk, not to mention that the two of them were carrying a basket of persimmons. It is necessary to take care of the persimmons inside the wooden frame, and also pay attention to the road under your feet. It made Fu Qingqian sweat a lot along the way.
However, on the calm cheeks, there was not the slightest tiredness. It doesn't look like it just carried a basket of persimmons down from the mountain, but it looks like it's coming back from a hike up the mountain.
When the two of them returned, they saw that none of the three masters had yet risen. Fu Qingqian thought that since he still had time, he beckoned Gao Hong to deal with persimmons together.
"You go and get a large vat and wash it, and it should be scalded with boiling water." In the ceramic factory, the most important thing is the big water tank.
Gao Hong heard her master's words and guessed that she was planning to put the persimmons in the vat, but she was a little worried in her heart, wouldn't it be bad if she put it like this?
In the end, he didn't say what was in his heart, so he answered and did so.
Fu Qingqian didn't seem to notice Gao Hong's entanglement, but just dealt with the pedicle on each persimmon wholeheartedly. Although there are a lot of persimmons, it only needs to be stalked. It's relatively simple, and Fu Qingqian didn't take much time to deal with it alone.
I carried two buckets of water and washed the persimmons one by one. Hang next to it and wait for the water on it to dry.
Gao Hong scalded the vat with boiling water and washed it several times inside and out before giving up.
"Where do you put the vat?" Unsure where the master wanted to put it, Gao Hong asked first in order to avoid moving out and needing to move in.
Fu Qingqian heard his words, thought about it and said. "Find a shady, sun-inducing place to put it." When he thought of what he needed, he immediately commanded. "Get me some more spirits and a brush."
Gao Hong's movements this time were very fast, but after a while, he found a jar of wine and a brush.
Fu Qingqian asked him to move all the persimmons he dried inside, and he opened the wine jar and smelled it.
At this time, the alcohol content is not very high, and most of it is cloudy wine. In fact, it is more like rice wine, so there is a saying that a thousand cups are not drunk.
Even if she specially told her to ask for spirits, the degree she got in her hand might not be about thirty.
The liquor needed to make persimmons is almost forty-five. It's a little worse, but there's no way around, so I have to use it.
And at this time, he couldn't find a nozzle, so Fu Qingqian had to use a brush instead.
Gao Hong listened to the master's instructions and was responsible for putting the dried persimmons neatly into the jar. Only one layer was put in, and it was stopped.
Fu Qingqian dipped the brush in the wine, and evenly brushed the wine on the top of the lined layer of persimmons. Arrange a layer like this, brush a layer of wine.
By the time I had finished getting all the persimmons, I had been there for an hour.
Rubbing his bent back, which was a little painful, Fu Qingqian said. "Does this vat have a lid?" I thought that the kimchi jar was smaller, so I used a large vat.
Only now do I remember that there was no such thing as a plastic bag at this time. If you don't handle it carefully, I'm afraid it's easy to get angry.
Hearing his master's words, Gao Hong shook his head. "There are generally no vats, and the openings are too large and inappropriate."
Fu Qingqian was just asking with the psychology of luck, and he didn't worry too much when he heard it. "Then you find a few pieces of cloth to seal this mouth, and paste it all with wet mud, so that no air falls inside."
Without a lid, Fu Qingqian thought of using mud to seal the mouth. Anyway, the wet mud is on it, and naturally there is no air leakage inside.
After dinner in the evening, several people got together again to discuss the matter of firing glass. As soon as the temperature problem was solved, the three masters were full of enthusiasm for this matter.
Fu Qingqian just smiled when he saw that they looked like they had been beaten with chicken blood. I just hope that the next problems don't hit them all.
It is true that the process is not so smooth, from the grinding of the quartz to the subsequent firing, there are a large number of sand grains. Several people soaked next to the kiln every day, but still did not see the slightest fruit.
It wasn't until the morning of the eighth day that the final results were finally seen.
Wang Meng rubbed his reddened eyes and looked at the flowing liquid. The whiteness is flawless, and the excitement in my heart can be imagined.
Hurriedly pushed Master Sun and Master Lu, who had already fallen asleep next to him, but did not take his eyes off at all.
"What's wrong?" Sun Libin was shaken awake, and his head was swollen and aching because of a long lack of sleep. Squinting and rubbing his head, he couldn't understand what was going on for a while.
"Looks like it's going to work!" Wang Meng stared at the thing with a hint of surprise and more uncertainty.
When Sun Libin heard his words, most of his original sleepiness disappeared. Quickly sit up and observe with him. Seeing the liquid with several times less impurities than before, my heart was also faintly excited.
In fact, the glass that was fired before left a great shock in their hearts. Although there is more sand inside, the crystal color is very cute.
Even if those are taken out, they will definitely cause everyone's shock. But the master said that he would do it, and they could only continue to guard the kiln.
"Why don't you try it!" When Lu Yi saw the liquid, he also felt that it was almost there. He's done his best, and that's probably all he can do.
"Then try it!" Since everyone thinks it's about the same, they're going to give it a try.
Together, the three of them took out the quartz water that had been fired into a liquid from the kiln and poured it into the square lattice that had been prepared long ago.
Just wait for it to cool down, and you will be able to see the concrete results.
"But that's it!" Gao Hong prepared breakfast and came over, and saw that the three masters were sitting next to him.
Hearing Gao Hong's words, Sun Libin and the three of them did not answer. After all, no one can be sure whether it will succeed or not.
Didn't hear their answers, and Gao Hong didn't care. Put breakfast on the table, tell them to remember to eat, and then go out to call the master.
Fu Qingqian stayed up for three days and three nights, but he couldn't stay up. So I went back to make up for sleep first, and slept in the space. It wasn't until I woke up completely that I came out again and lay down and took a book out to read.
Hearing Gao Hong's knock on the door, he answered the sound and slowly got up to clean up.
When she arrived, she saw the joy on the faces of several masters at a glance. I thought to myself, it looks like a success!
"Look at this time, I'm still satisfied!" Sun Libin carefully picked up a piece of glass the size of a grinding disc, and the smile on his face was still clearly visible through the colorless glass.
Fu Qingqian saw the glass in Master Sun's hand and nodded very satisfied. "Satisfied, very satisfied!" In just eight days, such transparent glass can be fired.
This result has greatly exceeded Fu Qingqian's expectations. In fact, the first few times, Fu Qingqian was already acceptable. However, seeing that the interest of several masters is still very high, the requirements are stricter.
I didn't expect that they would really succeed. Just this piece of glass, I'm afraid it will amaze many people when you take it out!
Seeing him nod, the three masters also breathed a sigh of relief. They held back for a few days, and kept watch by the kiln. The three of them took turns to rest, and finally fired the glass that satisfied the boss.
If they are not satisfied, they may not be able to do anything.
Fu Qingqian was relieved when he saw that they were all relieved, and he knew that he had forced the three masters to be anxious in the past few days. said with a smile, "The three masters have been tired for the past few days, so go back and have a good rest first." When you're done resting, we'll talk about the rest. ”
asked Gao Hong to send the three masters to rest, and Fu Qingqian explained that he could arrange for those people from the ceramic factory to come back and start working.
Fu Qingqian still remembered his big vat of persimmons, and the time was about the same.
I knocked the dried mud on it, and as soon as I opened the cloth on it, I could smell the fragrance of persimmons coming from inside.
Gao Hong was waiting beside him, still worried. I've been sitting in the tank for so many days, I'm afraid it's all broken! However, when I smelled the fragrance of persimmons, I was shocked again.
I saw that the master had opened the cloth covering it, revealing the persimmons inside. Looking at the persimmons at the mouth of the cylinder, they are still the same color as the first day. There is neither yellowing, nor rotting.
My heart is full of doubts, why it has been so many days but there has been no change at all.
Fu Qingqian picked out a persimmon casually, and peeled it with the knife that had been placed next to him a long time ago. The persimmons that have been left for eight days are still the same crisp and crisp color as when they were first picked.
After a while, the persimmon in Fu Qingqian's hand was peeled. Divided the persimmon into two halves and handed half to Gao Hong next to him. "See what it tastes like!"
Gao Hong took the persimmon handed over by the master, but hesitated to stuff it into his mouth. When the persimmon is not ripe, the astringency is not good at all.
Fu Qingqian didn't seem to see his worries, and took a bite of the persimmon. The crunchy persimmon meat tasted so good that Fu Qingqian couldn't help but squint his eyes.
It's this taste, she hasn't tasted it for a long time. This time, I made such a big tank, and I can eat it slowly.
There are also persimmons, Fu Qingqian thought that after going back, he could sell some persimmons to make persimmons to eat. The taste is also very good.
Gao Hong saw that the master took a bite of the persimmon, and his intuition was very astringent. But he didn't see the master frowning, but looked happy. Looking at it like that, I felt that the persimmon in my hand was not unpalatable.
Looking at the persimmon in his hand, Gao Hong still hesitated in his heart. In the end, I couldn't help it, and I was ready to take a bite and try what it tasted like. If it's unpalatable, throw it away.
It's just that I originally wanted to try it, but I couldn't stop biting into it.
Fu Qingqian saw Gao Hong's face and said with a smile. "It's delicious!" I thought to myself, who was still entangled just now. When she bit it, she looked at death as if she were at home, and now she knows that she didn't deceive anyone!
Gao Hong had persimmons wrapped in his mouth and couldn't open his mouth at all. Just nodded, with a face full of surprise! I never thought that this persimmon that looks so green tastes astringent at all. Only the fragrance of persimmons, and crunchy put on the texture.
"I'll leave some for you, and when the time comes, remember to give some to the three masters. You can also do the method, if you want to make crispy persimmons, you can ask me if you have any questions. But one thing, if you have the idea to make crispy persimmons to sell. Remember that when the time comes, divide me into 10%. ”
When dealing with persimmons at that time, Fu Qingqian did not hide it from Gao Hong. It was also a small trick, and I wasn't afraid that he would learn it.
But if he sees the business opportunities inside, after all, it is the method she provides. Anyway, I still have to take her with me.
Gao Hong was stunned when he heard his master's words, because he didn't have such thoughts at all. But when he heard what his master said, he thought it was feasible.
The whole family is waiting for him to get this little salary back to support the family. Although the master's salary is not low, now the family can be said to be a small blessing.
However, thinking of his two sons, Gao Hong still wanted to send them to a private school to study. I don't want them to be high school officials in the future, at least they can read and become a bookkeeper in the future.
It's just that if you want to study, you need a lot of silver. What's more, there are two sons at home, so he has been hesitant before. After all, it's impossible to send just one, but you can't afford two.
But if this can really be done, I think it can also increase the income of the family. The thing of sending his son to school can also be realized.
"Gao Hong will never forget the favor of his master." With an idea in his heart, Gao Hong saluted his master with gratitude. In any case, he took advantage of this matter, and he will definitely not forget his master.
Fu Qingqian just smiled when he heard his words. He didn't mention it anymore, but let him keep some of it. The rest was carried to the car for her.
"I'll come back the day after tomorrow, if the three masters wake up tomorrow. And thou shalt give them rest, and tell them that I will come and consult with them the day after tomorrow. ”
When Fu Qingqian left, he naturally took the piece of glass with him. After all, it is the result of my eight days of not being at home, so I have to bring it back for everyone to see.
Gao Hong heard his master's words and nodded in response. Looking at the piece of glass on the carriage, I was really worried. This thing is very fragile, and the road is not very smooth. If it is broken, the three masters will wake up and know that they don't know what the pain will become.
So when he placed it, he deliberately put a lot of hay and cloth. Just to prevent it from being broken on the road.
Fu Qingqian didn't seem to see Gao Hong's worries, and after explaining, he drove away in the carriage. However, in order not to worry him too much, the speed was still very slow.
Until I walked a while, I couldn't see the figure behind me anymore. Fu Qingqian directly put the glass into the space, after all, she was not at ease this way.
To be on the safe side, put it in first and wait until you get it before you take it out. Otherwise, if it is really broken, she is afraid that she will also be heartbroken.
Fu Qingqian was going to go to the restaurant to find Uncle Kong first, and let him go home after seeing it. After all, Uncle Kong's worries about greenhouse vegetables are still very serious.
With this thing, I believe Uncle Kong will also be relieved a lot. (To be continued.) )
