Chapter 309: Joy and Happiness
After re-grooming, when Li Yi finally held his child in his arms, joy couldn't help but welling up in his heart.
Hehe! When Li Yi was taking a bath and changing clothes, he had already learned that he had given birth to a daughter, although there was still a trace of regret, but for himself, an enlightened descendant, whether it was a son or a daughter, he was excited and excited from the bottom of his heart.
How nice it is to have a daughter! With such a delicate and lovely face, the pink and fleshy appearance is really unbearable. Hehe! What a lovely child! With her, I have flesh-and-blood relatives in this era, and I also have more concern for myself, my current mood is not a portrayal of family happiness?
Lying on the bed, she had regained some strength, half-propped up, looked at Li Yi with great pity, and said with a smile: "Official, according to our previous agreement, since it is a daughter, let's call her 'Ning'er', right?" β
Li Yi nodded frequently with joy: "Ning'er? Hehe! I have long said that if I give birth to a daughter, I will be called 'Ning'er', this is our biological flesh and blood, why do I look at it more and more I feel that she looks a little similar to me! Hehe! β
As if hearing this, I couldn't help but pout and say, "Yo! My senior official wants to take Ning'er for himself now. Hum! If you look like you, you won't be a concubine! β
Mrs. Qian next to her smiled and said, "I said yes!" Your husband looks ugly, hehe! The two of you are the champions in the crowd, and you look like one in a million, let's rather be a beauty! There is no doubt that it will definitely come out like a flower in the future. β
Li Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Mrs. Qian is right, of course my Li Yi's daughter didn't say it." People say 'girls follow their fathers', hehe! I think that, with the excellent match between the two of us, my daughter will definitely be a beautiful fairy-like character when she grows up, and I am afraid that I will compare you to you when the time comes. β
She smiled like a delicate smile: "Am I still afraid that my daughter is stronger than me?" You father, you can't spit ivory out of your mouth! Hehe! As long as she can grow up peacefully, do I have anything else to think about? By the way, we have Ning'er, so we should also report good news to our family, right? β
Li Yi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes!" It's still thoughtful. In a few days, I will ask Li Gui to bring someone back, and at the same time report the good news, I will also ask the master to give Ning'er a scientific name. β
It was like nodding yes, and said with a smile: "Official, from today onwards, you can't sleep here anymore, I asked them to set up a bed for you in the study, unless there is something important, you must not come to harass our mother, the official can understand." β
Yes! This swept itself out of the way. Depend on! That's not a good idea, isn't it?
Li Yi hurriedly defended: "Like, you have to figure it out, this Ning Er is also my daughter!" It's okay not to come and harass it, why! There is no reason for this. β
"Mrs. Qian, you give me a comment, I was deeply oppressed, but now it's good, two women have teamed up to bully me, what prestige do you have for me, a dignified ambassador!"
When everyone heard this, they were already laughing, and the charming smile added a little charm and love.
Time passed rapidly, and another month passed in the blink of an eye, and various affairs in Yunnan were carried out smoothly and step by step.
Lin Qingliang's 'Zhenghe Liulifang' has also produced the first batch of qualified glass products. According to the firing method provided by Li Yi, its quality has far surpassed that of overseas imported glass products.
As soon as it was put on the market, it was praised by customers. Of course, according to what people say now, it is still called Liuli, which is also familiar to people.
Due to the limited production volume, the price is also surprisingly high. At the beginning, the production was made of glass vases, glass bowls, glass cups and other items, and the quality still did not reach the highest level in later generations, but even so, it has caused quite a stir.
The first batch of more than 30 pieces of glass products was sold for more than 10,000 taels of silver, and the development prospects of 'Zhenghe Glass Workshop' seem to be quite optimistic.
And what makes Li Yi even happier is that Lin Qingliang finally fired a lens glass with good diopter and excellent transparency after countless firing experiments by selecting high-quality fluorite and feldspar materials, which is the most important step for us to make a large number of telescopes in the future.
Moreover, through Li Yi's unremitting guidance, Lin Qingliang extracted a large amount of enamel enamel while firing glass, which provided a solid foundation for the production of enamel products like cloisonnΓ© in the future.
If, on this basis, a handicraft workshop was established to produce enamel products that no one had ever seen before, wouldn't it be a huge source of money?
Hehe! With these two powerful weapons for making money, Yunnan's financial revenue will continue to flow, whether it is for the benefit of the people of Yunnan, or to strengthen the investment in military equipment, there will be a source of living water, that is, no matter how big the investment is to benefit the people, we dare not hesitate to implement it.
Because the quartz sand and limestone selected by Lin Qingliang are of high quality, the content of silicic acid and boric acid is relatively high, and most of the fired glass is extremely resistant to high temperature, which can be used as a beaker.
For Li Yi, who has always wanted to produce cosmetics, he finally has glassware for testing and preparation, and you must know that many chemicals are strictly forbidden to use metal utensils, so with glassware that is not easy to undergo chemical reactions, the next step can be easily heated, evaporated, mixed, and extracted various chemicals.
Taking advantage of the fact that the affairs of Yunnan are not busy now, Li Yi vacated two secluded west wings in the front yard of the back house, which were specially used for chemical experiments, drew drawings, and asked Lin Qingliang to order dozens of beakers and test tubes of different sizes and shapes, and arranged for Guo Xiaoshuang and Nanfang to work together.
Now everything is ready, and all that is left is the east wind. Of course, Li Yi's first step is to extract pure alcohol, which is an essential ingredient for making any cosmetics.
In order to save time and effort, Li Yi asked for a large amount of high-grade liquor from Lin Qingliang, and directly took the method of multiple distillation to obtain relatively high purity alcohol.
Next, quicklime water is added and distilled repeatedly, and after condensation, pure alcohol with a purity of 95% is obtained. Although the current conditions are limited, it is impossible to make 99% pure alcohol without the special anhydrous copper sulfate for purification, and the effect is already quite good.
