Chapter 460: The Usefulness of Frosted Glass (Part I)
Li Er complained to his wife in the Ganlu Palace, while Li Chengqian put two layers of silk cloth on his head to inspect the glass workshop.
These damn Hu people don't know how to work without whipping, especially those few Tianzhu, damn guys, they actually add spices to the crucible that burns glass, I really don't know what they have in their heads, do they use glass as curry to burn?
In later generations, Li Chengqian heard that these bastards in India would add curry to their missiles, but he didn't expect that this special thing would be ancestral.
Waving his hand casually, dragging a few Tianzhu bastards out to whip them, Li Chengqian saw that the guy who was selected as the project manager by himself rushed over.
And a tiger pounced far away, the frightened Night Charm thought that he was going to break out, and almost kicked over, but in the end, this guy was lying on the ground with a five-body throw, holding Li Chengqian's boots and began to kiss: "Dear master, please allow your most loyal servant Adam to offer you the most sincere respect!" ”
Uncle, I'm scared to death Dad! Li Chengqian wiped the cold sweat on his head, shook his feet, and kicked the guy named Adam away: "Get out, talk well, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
"Dear master, don't you know me? I'm your project manager, Adam! The bearded Adam didn't know where he had provoked this little grandfather again, so he could only twitch his face and shrink his neck, not at all having the courage that he had when he was the first to stand up that day.
The damn guy is really disgusting, looking at the saliva-stained boots, Li Chengqian resisted the idea of pulling this guy out to whip him, and glared at him: "Talk about the progress of glass firing, if the palace is not satisfied, I don't mind changing to a servant." ”
The bearded Adam was frightened, and without thinking about it, he fell to the ground again, his head was clubbed on the ground, and he said in a sullen voice: "Dear master, a lot of glass has been made, but the transparency cannot meet the requirements, and there are still a lot of bubbles in it." ”
"You're addicted to kneeling, aren't you? Cheng, start now, until the palace leaves, you just kneel on the ground and follow! Li Chengqian, who was very unaccustomed to this kind of kneeling etiquette, was taken aback for the second time, and his heart was ruthless, so he simply let the girl be crisp enough.
"Huh?!" Adam raised his head, his expression stunned, he didn't expect how he slapped the horse's fart on the horse's hooves.
After following Li Chengqian for a long time, Ye Mei knew that he was just losing his temper and didn't really want Dang to kneel and go, so he didn't wait for Li Chengqian to really get angry, so he interjected directly. "Ah what, get out of here and lead the way to the warehouse."
"Yes, yes!" Now Dang didn't dare to say more, he got up and ran out like a rabbit.
Kissing boots, a tradition in ancient Egypt and Persia, began with kissing the king's boots, but later some nobles began to require their servants to perform such rituals.
After slowly evolving, by the time of the Tang Dynasty, this etiquette was basically practiced by everyone in the Western Regions. Whenever they are facing someone stronger than them, they generally perform this etiquette as a sign of their humility.
But Li Chengqian is not from the Western Regions, strictly speaking, he is not even a Tang Dynasty, and he has received more than 20 years of modern education, so he can't accept this kind of etiquette no matter what.
And Adam's behavior reminded him of the later dynasty of braids, the dynasty that slaves long and short slaves at every turn, the dynasty that broke the backbone of the Chinese.
"Dear master, please see, these are already fired."
After leaving the production area, after two circles, the group came to a small spacious square.
The small square is filled with wooden shelves, and on the shelves are a variety of glass of different sizes, white, green and transparent.
It's just that there are very few transparent glasses, and there are only about a dozen pieces of thousands of glass in the small square, and they are covered with hollow bubbles, which looks very weird.
"Your Highness, this is glass?" Yang Yuxin is now fifteen or sixteen years old, which is the age of curiosity, after seeing the glass, she went up curiously and touched it gently, and then turned back to Li Chengqian and asked.
"Yes. This is glass, but they have a problem with the production process, so these are not qualified products. Li Chengqian nodded, and after giving an answer to the little girl, he began to look at them one by one.
At this time, Ah Dang was still thinking about what Li Chengqian had just said, for fear that the big man who controlled his life and death would not be satisfied, so he followed him cautiously and asked worriedly: "Dear master, the villain has been working hard to improve the formula, please give the master some more time, and then the villain will definitely come up with a work that satisfies the master." ”
"Have you ever recorded any experiments?" Li Chengqian hummed undeniably, knocked on a piece of transparent glass beside him and asked.
"Try, test record? Dear master, the villain does not understand. Adam frowned and thought for a long time, shook his head and said that he didn't know what a test record was.
"Don't know? Don't you keep a record of every firing? Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.
Adam shook his head honestly: "Master, I, I don't know how to read." ”
Starting from the older generation, firing glass is to rely on word of mouth, and then slowly master the heat after a long time, and the experimental record of this kind of thing, for Adam, who does not know a big word, it is simply the same as catching ducks on the shelf.
Can't read? Li Chengqian blinked helplessly, there are a large number of illiterate people in a feudal country like the Tang Dynasty, and in the West, which is still in a semi-slave society, it seems that it is even more impossible to be literate.
After being stunned for a long time, Li Chengqian sighed, summoned a guard, and asked him to bring the Persian guy who could write here, and then turned to Adam and said: "I will arrange for literate people, every time they are fired in the future, there must be a record, what materials are used, and what the proportion is, all of them must be recorded, understand?" ”
"The villain understands, please rest assured." Dang is just illiterate, but people are not stupid, Li Chengqian's words did not mention the matter of substitution, which means that he is still the project manager, and he still has the final say in this glass workshop, which is enough.
"Also, I'll arrange for someone to come over in a while, and you can ask people to ...... these" Li Chengqian said as he pointed at the white glass that was not very transparent: "All of them are loaded into the carriage, and the palace will use them." ”
Adam was very curious about what the use of these glasses that were obviously scrap products would be, but after thinking about it, he still restrained his curiosity, and nodded honestly in agreement: "Yes, the little one understands." ”
