When Gao Huaiyuan walked in the huge courtyard of Crouching Tiger Village with a refreshing body, he almost couldn't believe that this was the Crouching Tiger Village he had set up, and he came back a little late yesterday, and now Gao Huaiyuan was anxious to take stock of how his industry had developed, so after breakfast in the morning, he took Liu Er and Jia Qi and others into the backyard of Zhuangzi.

Although the front part of the whole Crouching Tiger Village has not changed much, the backyard has expanded a lot again, and the whole backyard is divided into several areas, the wall is tall and strong, it may not be inconspicuous from the outside, but from the inside, it is as strong as a small fortress, and the backyard has changed a lot during his absence.

First of all, a large amount of timber obtained from logging was not discarded in the mountains, but according to Gao Huaiyuan's previous method, it was cut into logs piece by section, and then carried back to Zhuangzi by manpower, and then neatly stacked up, becoming the raw material for building houses in Zhuangzi, even if they built dozens of houses, I am afraid they would not be able to use up so much wood.

On the other hand, it can be seen that in this year, Zhou Lao Wu led people to do how much work to open up the road to the mountains in Crouching Tiger Village, and a workshop was also built here, which became Zhou Lao Wu's carpenter workshop.

After crossing the carpentry area, I saw the kiln of Liulifang, a new kiln here, the number of potters has also increased, and more than a dozen young people with artistic talent have been selected to come here, follow Li Tong and them to learn art and learn to make glassware.

After Li Tong caught Gao Huaiyuan, he brought Gao Huaiyuan into their separate showroom, and pointed to the various glassware made by their glass workshop on the shelf with an excited face, and introduced Gao Huaiyuan like a few treasures, the current Li Tong is no longer the depressed house slave who left Shaoxing with Gao Huaiyuan three years ago, as if he has become one of the few God of Wealth in Crouching Tiger Village, and Li Tong has already liked this skill after such a long time. I hardly ever went out of Crouching Tiger Village, and spent my days in the glaze mill with those craftsmen, pondering how to produce glassware.

Judging from these finished products placed on the shelves, Gao Huaiyuan himself has to admire that many of them are quite beautifully manufactured, among the glassware of various colors, the craftsmanship of many things has reached a considerable level, with glass this kind of thing, combined with the ideas of ancient craftsmen, a lot of things that look antique and exude a modern atmosphere have been produced, at least Gao Huaiyuan asked himself, now he can't make such beautiful glassware anyway!

Among these glassware, there are not only decorations such as vases, but also daily necessities such as wine glasses, wine bowls, dinner plates, etc., although they show various colors because of the metal components contained in the raw materials, but the purity of the glass has been greatly improved, indicating that Li Tong has found the key technology that can control the production of liquid glass, which has played a vital role in the production of the entire glassware.

When he picked up a crystal clear transparent glass wine jug, Gao Huaiyuan immediately laughed, this glass wine jug is blown quite well, both the shape and the handwork are very beautiful, but Gao Huaiyuan smiled not this, but the material of the entire glass wine jug, the glass of this wine jug is transparent as a whole, without a little variegation, showing the form of completely transparent colorless glass, in a year ago, there was no such crystal-like glass in Liulifang, and such a pure color glass could be fired, even if it was accidentalIt's not easy.

Looking at this wine jug made of colorless glass, Gao Huaiyuan's heart moved slightly, and he immediately asked Li Tong: "Li Tong, when was this furnace of liquid glass fired?" Have you ever paid attention to the ingredients? And this batch of glaze has some raw materials left? ”

Li Tong took a look at the wine pot in Gao Huaiyuan's hand, and immediately showed a smug smile, and hurriedly replied: "This furnace of glazed wine pot is small and remembers it very clearly, this is something made by a furnace of glazed liquid fired three months ago, and the small one found out the difference between this furnace of glaze at that time, and deliberately wrote down the recipe at that time, but no matter what, it never burned such a clear glaze again."

This furnace glass liquid small does not know how to appear such a situation, but the small feel that such a thing is hard to find, so only a small amount of things were made, bought out, according to Huang Shibo, the first few objects came out, it was immediately sought after by many rich people, the price is even higher outrageous, so the small will not be used up the glass stored, only one or two items per month to be sold by Jubao Zhai, now it is our baby!

The small one looks at the remaining glass as precious! Now there are a lot left, if the young master is useful, the small one will be taken out by the young master! ”

Gao Huaiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, this furnace glass seemed to have really appeared by chance, but it met his needs, because in the days when he was fighting abroad, Gao Huaiyuan had already felt that there was a great inconvenience in mastering the battlefield situation, because the enemy and us had the same eyesight, and often found the opponent at the same time, and if the opponent could be found in advance on the battlefield, it would play a vital role in the situation on the battlefield.

So he has long wanted to make some telescopes, but now he doesn't have the right materials on hand, he originally planned to come back this time, find a way to purchase some crystal with high transparency from the market, to polish some lenses, make telescopes, and now he has this furnace of transparent glass, and he has solved the problem of materials.

"Haha! Not bad! This kind of thing is hard to find, it is not easy for you to burn it out, these things do not need to be produced again for the time being, this batch of glass is left for me, I have another use, in the future, you pay attention to the raw materials and recipes of each furnace of glazed liquid, make a detailed record, presumably after a period of time, you can also fire out such glass, and then talk about making other items, the original inventory of these glaze are left for me! Gao Huaiyuan patted Li Tong's shoulder vigorously and commanded with a smile.

Li Tong grinned when he was slapped by Gao Huaiyuan, his shoulders slumped straight down, trying to dodge Gao Huaiyuan's big hand, and said in his heart that his young master must have remembered to do something new again, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy, but if you're happy, why pat me on the shoulder? You don't know how strong you are! I haven't seen you this year, it seems that the young master's strength has increased a lot!

Gao Huaiyuan turned his head and saw Li Tong's grinning appearance, hurriedly raised his hand and didn't dare to slap him again, reached out and brushed Li Tong's shoulder and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I pushed a little harder! Hehe! Pay attention in the future! Ha ha! ”

Liu Er, who followed Gao Huaiyuan, immediately pursed her lips and laughed, she was so happy to see Gao Huaiyuan so happy, Liu Er was also very happy, although Gao Huaiyuan didn't really eat her last night, but she gave her a deep kiss, this kiss has shown that Gao Huaiyuan will accept her love, Liu Er was so excited that her heart seemed to stop beating, and she fell into Gao Huaiyuan's arms.

This kiss also completely narrowed the relationship between the two of them, Liu Er no longer has to worry about anything, this morning got up to now, Liu Er is in a very comfortable mood, seeing everyone laughing, as if it is back to a year ago, so that those people in Zhuangzi are a little surprised, but immediately thought of the reason, deeply happy for Liu Er.

When he walked out of the glazed fang, Li Tong suddenly said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Young master, during this year, Jubaozhai came to me a lot, and wanted us to provide them with some glass mirrors, the glass mirrors made by the young master last time caused an uproar on the market, * There are a lot of people, but the small ones don't make such glass mirrors, so that they make a lot of money, this time after the young master comes back, he has to make some more anyway, the glass mirror is so beautiful!" As for the flat glass"

Gao Huaiyuan patted his head, when he led the team to go out, he forgot about this matter, fortunately he came back alive, otherwise, the process of making glass mirrors might be lost in history again!

"Look at my head, I only care about what I think, I forgot about such a big thing, don't worry Li Tong, I will teach you this kind of craft when I go back, and you can make as many glass mirrors as you want to make in the future!" Hehe! Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but pat Li Tong's shoulder again, but Li Tong was directly slapped on the ground by Gao Huaiyuan.

Everyone immediately let out a burst of laughter, Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly pulled Li Tong up from the ground, and raised his hand to look at his palm, is his heart so exaggerated? Is your strength really scary?

After coming out of Liulifang, Gao Huaiyuan raised his legs and entered the courtyard of the soap workshop, which can now be called a huge soap workshop, where there is a bad smell everywhere, a steaming scene, dozens of cauldrons are lined up, the flame is burning under the stove, the soap is boiling in the pot, a group of teenagers hold a scraper to scrape out the soap that has been precipitated in the pot, and then turn around and put it in the mold to cool and form, some people continue to move out the mold full of soap to dry, and the whole production is very prosperous.

After seeing Gao Huaiyuan walk into the workshop, everyone stopped to give a salute to Gao Huaiyuan, there are not only orphans in Crouching Tiger Village, but also some people are tenants of the Gao family's old house to work here, and now the scale of production is not small, so only relying on the manpower of Crouching Tiger Village, it is obviously not enough.

And the tenants on the side of the Gao family's old house are only busy in a few busy farming seasons in a year, and most of the time they are relatively leisurely, Gao Huaiyuan has not given them less favors before, so these tenants are very grateful to Gao Huaiyuan, Liu Er has been in the past half a year, because of the lack of manpower, so he thought of making use of these tenants and giving them some wages every day, so that they can work in Crouching Tiger Village and earn some extra money.

These tenants have money to make, of course, they are eager to sign up to apply, and finally Xue Yan came forward to select a group of people to be sent to Crouching Tiger Village to work, and now they are the first batch of workers in Crouching Tiger Village!

Although this matter was not agreed by Gao Huaiyuan, most of these tenants were honest farmers, and after accepting Jiang Peng's lecture, they cherished this opportunity, so they were very strict, and no one went out to preach that soap was a product of Crouching Tiger Village.

After Gao Huaiyuan learned about this this time, he did not raise any objections, after all, these people work here, and they can't get in touch with the core secrets, they only know that there is oil in the soap, and they don't know about other raw materials, and after the industry develops to a certain extent, it is obviously unrealistic to completely use their own people to work, and soap is not too mysterious, and it will always become a mass consumer product one day, so for the use of these tenants to work here, Gao Huaiyuan finally agreed to Liu Er's decision.

The current soap workshop has expanded at least twice as much as when Gao Huaiyuan left, because of the increase in sales on the Wang family's side, Jiang Peng continued to expand production, and now their daily output has at least tripled compared to before Gao Huaiyuan left, and the quality of the soap made has risen steadily, and the consumption of raw materials has been reduced, and the profits are great, although it is not as good as Liulifang, at least in this era, it is about to catch up with drug trafficking!

Gao Huaiyuan watched these soaps being produced in a steady stream, thinking about the profits he obtained, he was really a little ashamed, he had never thought that business could be done like this.

Jiang Peng took Gao Huaiyuan around the soap workshop, and reported the situation of the soap workshop to Gao Huaiyuan again, the entire soap workshop has basically formed an industrial scale, and the people here perform their duties, and finally complete all the production, the soap made is packed in a wooden box, and every two days, the finished product is loaded and transported to Daye County with an ox cart, and handed over to the Wang family to be sold in various places, so basically there is no need to worry about it.

And even so, the Wang family is still urging the goods, hoping that Crouching Tiger Village can produce more, but at present, the output of Crouching Tiger Village can basically only reach this point, after all, they are still handicraft workshop production, there is no modern equipment, if the output wants to double again, I am afraid that Zhuangzi will not be able to accommodate it!

"Young master, now the output of our soap workshop is increasing day by day, but there is a problem, after we produce soap, there is still some grease left in the pot that can not be used, these small things do not know how to use, let alone dare to eat, it is a pity to pour them out in vain, the small one tried to feed a dog, but although the dog is not dead, but it is also half dead, what is this thing? Is it just for nothing? Jiang Peng asked Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately understood what Jiang Peng was referring to, so he smiled and said: "Don't throw it away, this thing is a good thing, it is glycerin, it can be regarded as a by-product of soap!" I didn't pay attention to this thing before, but it's a good thing that you brought it up today, and if you pour it out, it's not only bad for the environment in this area, but it's also a waste! Let me tell you, this glycerin is not a big problem when consumed in small amounts, but it can be used in medicine, but no one knows how to use it now!

In general, glycerin is very versatile, at least now it can be applied directly to the skin, it can prevent skin cracks in winter, play an emollient role, and can be made into alabaster, which is a good thing to beautify the skin, in that case, it is a good thing to make a fortune, but at the moment we are still short of some raw materials, and when I look back I want to make some spices, launch alabaster, when the time comes, I dare to guarantee that it will definitely make women rush to buy it! Hehe! ”

Jiang Peng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that I have made a lot of vats, and I have really done the right thing to keep these glycerins, otherwise it is equivalent to pouring silver into the river water!" Ha ha! ”

Holding a piece of soap that had been formed, Gao Huaiyuan said to Jiang Peng with a smile: "Although this kind of soap looks good at the moment, it is still a little inappropriate for bathing, it needs to be refined, subtract some alkali, if you can refine some essence, a little mixed into it, it can be called soap, as for the essence of the matter is not difficult, we have a lot of mountains in this area, and there are also a lot of three-flowered plants in the mountains and wilderness, and now it is the season of jasmine flowering, you might as well ask Huang Shibo to arrange someone to buy a large number of back, The extracted essence can not only be used to make soap, but also to produce perfume, and it is difficult not to make a fortune at that time! Hehe! ”

Jiang Peng was most interested in fiddling with these things, as soon as he heard that Gao Huaiyuan would refine the essence, he immediately came to the spirit, and followed Gao Huaiyuan to inquire about how to refine the essence, Gao Huaiyuan smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said: "Don't say it, don't say it!" When the ingredients are ready, I'll let you know! It's all right now! Hehe! You go to Huang Shibo about this matter, ask him to start preparing, and when I have time, I will teach you how to make perfume! ”

Jiang Peng had no choice but to give up, but immediately ran to Huang Zhen and asked him to help buy * and what three-flowered grass came back, but he didn't expect Huang Zhen to spread his hands and say: "*It's no problem, but what is this three-flowered grass?" I haven't even heard of it, so how do I collect it? ”

Jiang Peng heard it, isn't it! It's the first time he's heard of Sanhuacao, and he doesn't even know what it is, so how can he let Huang Zhen buy it? So I had to run back to Gao Huaiyuan to ask what Sanhuacao was and what Sanhuacao looked like.

At this time, Gao Huaiyuan had already walked into the blacksmith shop, and before he entered the blacksmith shop, he heard the sound of clanging iron from a distance.
