The Pan family's shop has no hope for the time being, but Li Boyan is not in a hurry, Li Kangda has not yet returned from Lin'an, and the big ship that transports goods has not been ordered.

Duan Jing followed Kang Shuaibo, and now the two generals in Li Boyan's hands went to find a suitable ship. After the Great Song Dynasty moved south, the flow of goods was the same as the transfer of official grain, and most of them were by waterway, and in the future, Li Boyan's great cause of monosodium glutamate had to be transported by ship if he wanted to go out, so he naturally had to buy a big ship.

On the Li family's Zhuangzi, the maids were in a hurry, some were holding basins and carrying water, and some were helping Wen Po to hold Liu Siniang's legs, feet and arms, but they were too busy anyway.

Li Boyan, together with Qiu Jinmei and several other aunts who were not pregnant, stood outside the house, waiting anxiously. His father didn't return, and it made it look like he was going to have a child, and Li Boyan was also a little nervous. The male and female babies don't mind, so they look forward to peace.

The superstitious Gu Sanniang was even in the small hall on the side, constantly kneeling and worshipping Guanyin, praying for the safety of the mother and child.

In the room, Liu Siniang kept wailing, mixed with the comfort and encouragement of Wen Po.

"Hard! Hard! See the baby's head! Used! ”

"Ahh Oh! Liu Siniang screamed, hearing that the people outside the house were so anxious, and several aunts had a very good relationship on weekdays, walking back and forth uneasily. Even Qiu Jianmei frowned, and secretly sweated for Liu Siniang.

Li Boyan sat on the stone bench, didn't say a word, and his face was very solemn, he really couldn't help with this thing.

"Wow! Wow! ”

The two children's cries made everyone stop their original anxiety, and turned to shock and joy.

"It's raw!"

"It's raw!"

After half a ring, Wen Po came out with the swaddling clothes in her arms, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the Li family." It's a son. ”

Li Boyan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What about Siniang, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't worry, the big and the small are safe."

Gu Sanniang, who was still kowtowing to thank her, heard this, and said with tears in her eyes: "Bodhisattva manifestation, thank you Bodhisattva, I will go to report the good news to the second sister and the seventh sister!" ”

Wu Niang gave Wen Po Xi money, happily hugged the crying baby, and walked towards the house, "Baby, go see your mother." ”

Big and small, Li Boyan also had a smile on his face, looking at the Qiu scarf eyebrows on the side, holding his cheeks, with a look of envy and worship, he quipped: "So envious, you also have one." ”

Qiu Jianmei, who was still moved by the greatness of mother's love, suddenly turned pale when he heard Li Boyan flirting like this, and turned around and left. Li Boyan looked at the proud back and muttered, "The heart is quite high." ”

Siniang's decision to give birth was settled, and Li Boyan made a detour to the Li family's top-secret workshop behind. There are people guarding the workshop all around, Li Boyan first went to see the workshop of monosodium glutamate, new grain was bought, and monosodium glutamate could be mass-produced, and the manpower was obviously insufficient.

Fortunately, the contract signed before the tenant had this agreement, and he went to the Li family's workshop to work, ferment, purify, and order step by step. It's just that there is a lot of backlog of inventory now, and if Lin'an's list is no longer available, Li Boyan will consider taking the lead in opening the market in Yongzhou.

Li Boyan's main purpose here is not here. It is the Li family's most profitable and popular glass workshop today. Today's glazed ware is still completely on some bottles and cans.

Most of the styles are blown out by potters according to Li Boyan's design drawings and the appearance of traditional porcelain. Such utensils may be able to sell at a good price at the beginning, but once the production gathers to a certain scale, the price of glazed ware on the market in the Great Song Dynasty is estimated to plummet.

Two high-priced jewellers are carefully holding glass ballasts and polishing various shapes.

On the one hand, glassware is in high yield, on the other hand, Li Boyan put forward a new idea, that is, to make high-quality products.

Jewelry is one of them.

"Master Yang, how's it going?"

The old craftsman of Longzhong squinted his eyes, handed a piece of polished and inlaid jewelry to Li Boyan, and said: "The gloss is naturally not as good as those jewels, but in terms of appearance and style given by the son, the old man thinks that once the market is opened, it must be extremely popular." ”

With glass ballast, of course, you can't make the charming luster of diamonds and jadeite agate, but how many people in Yongzhou can afford to buy pearls and jadeite, that is, ordinary big families, I am afraid that they are regarded as treasures and dare not wear them easily.

Li Boyan looked at the lotus hairpin, the transparent lotus made of glass, is also exquisite, I have to admire these two masters, if it is put in the jewelry shop in Yongzhou, this is not worth three or four big money?

However, now it is only a little cost, and if you count the labor, I am afraid that 300 wen is enough.

Another main direction of attack is the mirror.

In fact, when the glass was manufactured, Li Boyan's first thought was to make mirrors. Not to mention the Great Song Dynasty, even if you push back several dynasties early, they all use copper as mirrors, and those extremely wealthy people use silver as mirrors.

The so-called silver-plated mirror is not used to paste a thin layer of silver behind the glass, which will still oxidize the silver and finally blur, and the real manufacturing method is to use the silver mirror reaction to make it.

In order to get raw materials, Li Boyan had to say that it took a lot of effort. Saltpeter, concentrated sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, these things that only ancient monks could use, it is really difficult to get.

When Li Boyan picked up a made mirror, he had to admire, he really learned mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and he was not afraid to go all over ancient times. The silver element, which is replaced with glucose, is adsorbed on the glass, which can make the mirror shiny and translucent, and it looks like the figure is exactly the same.

Several henchmen and craftsmen also had to admire Li Boyan's brains, and said happily: "The owner is really a god, how could he come up with such a method, I still don't understand, how can this thing come out when this glass is put into this water." This is more than a polished bronze mirror, no, it can't be compared! ”

"Can that be compared? Do you know what's on the glass? ”

"What?"

"Silver."

"Silver...... Silver! Oh, my God! This also ...... Too extravagant, right? ”

Li Boyan smiled and said: "Don't be too surprised, the silver scraped down here, there is not more than a fingernail, it is just a thin layer, compared with the production process of this mirror, it is drizzle." ”

He carefully placed the mirror and said, "When it's almost time, just paint it on it, remember, be lighter, this thing is peeling off, and this mirror is finished." ”

"This ...... I can't do this, so the owner should let Master Huang come. When the young apprentice heard that there was silver behind him, he was afraid that it would be damaged, so he hurriedly moved out of the workshop, or he could not afford to pay for it.
