Chapter 513: A Thousand Years of Generation Gap
"Why did you forget, didn't you tell me that the glass was made of worthless sand, the porcelain jars we used for canning are too expensive, so I thought about burning some sand to make glass jars, but I didn't expect to really let me make it, but the color is not quite right!" When it came to the end, Ma Ye also had a smug smile on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is that okay?" Li Xiu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he heard Ma Ye's words, and immediately stepped forward to pick up a glass bottle and carefully observe it.
It turned out that this glass bottle is really similar to the canned bottles of later generations, but there is no screw mouth, of course, it is just the shape of the like, the material of the glass bottle in front of me is a little miserable, the green with gray, the gray is also blue, it looks messy, the permeability is very poor, and the glass surface is not smooth, but this bottle is not used for ornamentation, and it is still possible to make cans.
"Uncle Ma, what about the cost of this glass bottle?" Li Xiu looked at the glass bottle for a while and found that there was no problem, of course, he was concerned about another problem, although the glass bottle was fired with worthless sand, but when burning glass, fuel was used, and labor was also used, and this cost was also converted into the glass bottle.
"The cost is OK, I let people calculate, if this kind of glass bottle is really fired on a large scale, the cost should be more than half lower than the porcelain jar, after all, the porcelain is more delicate, even if we are not very demanding, but the light tire, glazing and other processes, this labor is not cheap, so our glass is cheap!" Ma Ye said with a smile, although the cans used for canning can be recycled, but he still needs to buy a large number of new cans every year, which is not a low investment, so he wants to reduce costs.
"That's great, let's just build another glass workshop, although the quality of the glass is a little worse now, but it can be improved slowly, if it doesn't work, go to Hu Shang, see if we can buy a few slaves who know how to fire glass from the outside, let them help us improve the quality of glass, maybe in the future, our glass products can be as good as those Hu merchants brought, and then we don't have to buy those Hu Shang's glass at a high price." Li Xiu said almost without hesitation at this time.
In fact, as early as the beginning of the establishment of the canning workshop, he thought about firing glass, but first, he didn't have the technology in this area, and secondly, he didn't have time to do it, so he never put it into action, but he didn't expect Ma Ye to do it before him.
Ma Ye is a fiery character, and he can do whatever he wants to do immediately, so he called the steward in charge of this matter at the moment, and gave money to him to build a glass workshop, this is the benefit of the superior, as long as there is a decision, the following people will naturally do it next.
"By the way, why do you have time to come to the workshop today, it can't be something, right?" After Ma Ye instructed the glass workshop, he suddenly remembered to ask Li Xiu's intention, after all, although the canning workshop has been established for a long time, the number of times Li Xiu has come is only a handful.
"There's something going on, but let's go out and talk about it!" Li Xiu also thought of the matter of hating at this time, and turned his head to look around, there are many people in the workshop, if it is listened to by others, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of hate, the reputation of women in this era is simply too important, so it must not be heard by outsiders.
Seeing that Li Xiu refused to say it here, Ma Ye was also more curious, and immediately went out of the workshop with Li Xiu, the canning workshop was built on the mountain, and there was a small river flowing through the workshop, the canning workshop was not polluted, and the leftovers for making canned food were pulled to feed the livestock, so the river water in the small river was also very clear.
After coming to the riverbank, Li Xiu looked around and then said to Ma Ye: "Uncle Ma, don't be too impulsive about what I said, otherwise it won't end well!" ”
"What the hell is going on, you kid has something to say quickly, don't keep going around in circles!" Ma Ye said a little impatiently at this time, he is a straightforward character, and he doesn't like others to talk in circles the most.
"Okay, this matter is about Hate'er, when I went to look for her yesterday, I found that she was a little abnormal......" Li Xiu said and told him about the fact that he found that Hate'er was a little abnormal yesterday, and then knew that Hate'er was communicating with a man.
"What?" Hearing that his precious niece was seduced by others, Ma Ye's bull's eyes suddenly widened, and his beard was about to rise.
"Uncle Ma, don't be angry, Ha'er just communicated with the other party, and he didn't suffer any losses, so don't be impulsive, otherwise it's not good for Ha'er to make a big fuss!" When Li Xiu saw this, he thought that Ma Ye was angry, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.
"I'm mad! Hate'er has finally opened up, it seems that I have to let her marry, but no matter who the other party is, there must be a surname Ma among Hate'er's sons in the future, so that I can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of our Ma family! What Li Xiu never expected was that Ma Ye shouted with surprise on his face at this time.
"Uncle Ma, you...... You're not right, you're only fifteen years old, and it's too early to get married! Li Xiu couldn't help but raise his voice against this when he heard this.
"What is small, a woman is fifteen is the age of marriage, and she will become an old girl in a few years, she used to hate children and just didn't open her mind, but now she finally wants to get married, and she also takes the initiative to look at one, just know what the origin of this kid is, if the character and family background are good, then you can consider it!" Ma Ye glared at this time, and then began to think about hating his son's marriage, which also made Li Xiu cry and laugh, it seems that the generation gap of more than a thousand years is really not easy to communicate.
"Uncle Ma, I don't think the other party is a good person, just seeing Hate'er and following him to the house, no matter how you look at it, it's a little frivolous, I'm afraid it's not a good match for Hate'er!" Since there is a generation gap in concepts, Li Xiu can only change his strategy.
"Well, it does seem a little frivolous, but it's not a big problem, as long as the character is not bad, and he married my niece, if he dares to have two hearts for his hate, be careful that Lao Tzu killed him!" Ma Ye said in the end, his eyes were round again.
Li Xiu patted his head when he heard this, Ma Ye is now in a hurry to let Hate Er marry, and then leave a bloodline for their Ma family, so he can't listen to any persuasion at all, even Li Xiu has no way to do it, after all, Ma Ye is Hate'er's own uncle, of course, Li Xiu will not stand idly by, so he plans to persuade Ma Ye after he goes back and Princess Pingyang together.
However, Ma Ye is very concerned about the matter of hate, of course, hater can't marry everyone, so the first thing is to investigate the identity of the other party first, and it just so happened that Li Xiu also asked him to help investigate the matter of the daughter of the county lord of Guanghua, so Ma Ye also went to find his old subordinates in the Feinu Division to help, and a few days later, all the information about the man who seduced the hater was quickly sent to Li Xiu's mansion.
