"Twelve, why did you only find so many apprentices for goldsmiths? Aren't you going to make a beautiful glass bowl? If you want to find it, you should also find those skilled masters in the ceramic workshop! Do you know that the best ceramics sold in Zhou and Qi are fired in our Xiao family's official kiln, and they are all from the hands of these masters. Xiao Shan was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yao only looking for these goldsmith apprentices to shape the glass bowl.

Because Xiao Shan thinks that the glass bowl should be made exquisitely in order to sell at a higher price, of course, it is necessary to find an experienced teacher, and making glass and making ceramics are close relatives, you find these goldsmiths, what is the matter?

"You know, what we make is glass that can be sold for a few hundred taels of silver, how much do your ceramics sell? Can these two things be compared side by side? Xiao Yao despised Xiao Shan and said: "And the goldsmith who makes goldsmiths is not only careful and steady, but also has first-class aesthetics and painting ability!" You see how beautiful they are in making gold and silver jewelry! ”

Xiao Yao automatically ignored Xiao Shan's dissatisfaction, and looked at these goldsmith apprentices who were only thirteen or fourteen years old with a smile. They also looked at Xiao Yao curiously, thinking to themselves that this child who was older than themselves was the son of their master's boss! I don't know why he summoned himself over.

"Bringing you here, we need the best man here! You have been learning from your master since then, the craft of making gold objects, the ability to draw is no problem, and your master is also a skillful person! So here, I'd like to test your skills on the other hand, and everyone go outside the house! After that, Xiao Yao took a group of apprentices to the open space outside the house.

"Now I want to test your physical fitness! Let me run laps around the house, and whoever runs the most laps will win! Xiao Yao gave this strange order.

"What? Jogging? Why run? "The apprentices are all in the dark.

"Tell you to run, that's so much nonsense! The person who runs the most laps, I will let him come to the blacksmith workshop, and from then on he will no longer be an apprentice, not only will he be paid more, but he can also be a master and accept apprentices if he does well! Xiao Yao let out a big wink

You must know that these apprentices are all apprentices now, and usually what the master is called, beating and scolding is a common thing, so as soon as he heard that he could be a master himself, they all immediately rushed out like arrows.

Ten minutes later, an apprentice named Liu Shui stood out from his junior brothers, Xiao Yao looked at this tall Liu Shui, and nodded with satisfaction: Good guy, I ran around the house more than a hundred times in one breath, and I still didn't blush or pant for breath!

"Good physical strength, now let me see your lung capacity! Come and see how many candles you can blow out on the table. Xiao Yao pointed to a row of lit candles on the table.

Liu Shui listened to the order, then took a deep breath, "Whew", and blew out 11 candles at once, which was really a big breath!

"Yes, that's you! Haha, you will come to work in the blacksmith in the future, and my brother will go to your master's side. Xiao Yao was satisfied with Liu Shui, who had a large lung capacity.

Glass blowing is actually a physical work, and the greater the lung capacity, the better! They need to blow while holding the iron pipe in their mouths, turning the iron pipe with one hand and holding various tools in the other hand to shape the molten glass.

"Thank you, Childe!" Liu Shui immediately knelt down to thank Xiao Yao, and was favored by the young master of the owner, this is a great way to get ahead.

"Get up, but now what you have to do is to practice your hand first, and use clay to make these figures I draw!" Wan Xiao Yao took out some of the geometric figures he had drawn in advance, such as polytriangles, faceted quadrangles, faceted cones, etc., and handed them to Liu Shui.

A few days later, Liu Shui made a glass bottle with a strange shape according to Xiao Yao's guidance!

"Twelve, this, this glass bowl you asked Liu Shui to make, it doesn't feel like a bowl!" Xiao Shan's mouth was wide open enough to stuff an egg.

"This isn't a bowl in the first place! It's called a glass bottle, oh no, it's called a glass bottle! Xiao Yao, this refers to the glass bottle of this, correcting Xiao Shan's mistake.

I saw that this peculiar glass bottle is like a gourd that has been geometrically three-dimensional, there are no curves, and they are all polyhedra composed of straight lines, which looks more futuristic! The mouth of the bottle is a finger's width with a jewel-shaped cork on it! The whole bottle looks very eye-catching!

"It's called a glass bottle? It's weird. Xiao Shan frowned, shook his head and commented: "Good-looking? No, because I've never seen this shape before, but I don't think it's ugly, it just feels special and weird! ”

"But it's already caught your attention, right?" Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Shan a little proudly and said with a smile: "Rare things are expensive, and strange things are more expensive!" Although the technology of manufacturing glaze was introduced to the Central Plains many years ago, but over the years, there have been wars year after year, and there is chaos everywhere, this technology has long been lost, and there are not many complete glazed wares left, because the number is scarce, so the more complete glazed bowl in the pawnshop can be sold for five hundred taels of silver! Now I'm making this glass bottle, no, the glass bottle into this shape, and there is only one in the world, rare and strange, how much silver can you sell it for? ”

"Someone buys eight hundred taels!" Xiao Shan blurted out!

"And what about these cups?" Xiao Yao smiled again and took out four identical tall red wine glasses, which directly made Xiao Shan roll his eyes in fright.

"Why are there four glass cups? But I feel that the shape of these four cups matches the shape of this bottle! It looks beautiful! Xiao Shan couldn't help but pick up this set of glass bottles and stroke it, as if he was caressing gold.

Indeed, this set of glass bottles can be worth a lot of gold in this day and age!

"Brother, you can take this set of things and hand it over to the eldest brother, let him deal with it!" Xiao Yao instructed Xiao Shan.

"What, you want to give this set of glazed ware to the eldest brother? No way! Absolutely not! It's something we make, and of course we sell it ourselves! It can be sold for as little as a thousand taels of silver! No, I'm not going to hand it over! Xiao Shan's head shook like a rattle, a hundred of them were unwilling, you must know that this is a priceless treasure!

"Puff is not guilty! We don't have the ability to have these things now, so instead of putting them here for others to covet, let's give them to the eldest brother and let him deal with them! And it's not that I look at you, just rely on you Xiaoshan, do you really have the ability to sell this set of glass bottles? Xiao Yao asked expressionlessly.

"This..." Xiao Shan was really dumbfounded.

He understands that as long as he is an expert, he will know the value of this set of glass bottles, but the question is who knows who he Xiao Shan is! And as soon as this glass suit is taken out, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world! At that time, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, and it is true that this unknown person alone has no ability to protect this set of glass bottles!

But Xiao Fu is different, the children and grandchildren of the Xiao family, and the celebrities around Emperor Xiliang, who doesn't know his weight in Jiangling City! Be white, who would dare to fight Xiao Fu's idea!

"Alas, it's such a cheap big brother, and I still hope to get ahead with this glazed ware and make my father impress me!" Xiao Shan still can't turn a corner.

"Brother, haven't you been talking to your eldest brother all the time? Usually, if you get something, you will give it to the eldest brother like a treasure, why don't you want to take this set of glass bottles to invite merit in front of the eldest brother now? Xiao Yao saw Xiao Shan with a sad face, and couldn't help but step on it.

"You! You! How dare you talk to me like that! When did I stammer big brother! You're going to give everything to Kiri, like a treasure! Xiao Shan was annoyed and angry, his younger brother dared to laugh at him, what kind of system did this become!

"Haha, it's just a laugh, brother, you dissipate your anger, it's just a joke! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Xiao Yao hurriedly apologized, and then continued to persuade: "Brother, you just want to open up and look farther!" Take this set of bottles to the eldest brother first, then the eldest brother and father will naturally value us, and when the time comes, with our father and eldest brother supporting us, then we are not in the Xiao family, don't we want to be windy and rainy? ”

In the end, Xiao Yao pointed to his head and said with a smile: "And don't forget, the recipe for making glazed ware is still with me, and when the time comes, with their support, we can make as many glazers as we want!" ”
