Chapter 69: Glass and Cement

It was the first time for Li Qi to come to Sihai Supermarket, and he felt fresh everywhere.

The location of this Sihai supermarket was originally the industry of the imperial historian Jingzhao Yin Wangjiao, covering an area of more than 20 acres. It was formed by connecting the two largest shops in Pingkangfang after they were opened, and now they have become the property of the imperial court and were requisitioned by Xiao Quai.

The outside of the supermarket is full of people, and the inside of the supermarket is also a busy scene, and the Shaofu and the craftsmen who will be the supervisors are renovating and decorating the supermarket.

The supermarket was filled with a lot of container shelves that Li Qi had not seen before, as well as counters. In particular, the counter has a very special shape, divided into two parts, the lower part is solid, but the upper part is only made of wood to build a shelf, which is hollowed out.

Li Qi had seen glass, Hu Shang brought it from the Western Regions, and some small glass balls that were three flat and four not round were sold for a high price of ten guan, and a glass full of bubbles was even more than a thousand yuan.

The master actually wanted to make a container out of glass, Li Qi couldn't believe his ears. But Master just smiled and said that as long as you learn mathematics well, and then teach you physics, chemistry, geography, and so on, which are all terms that you have never heard of, you will know how easy it is to make glass.

In addition to the containers, Shaofu and the craftsmen who will be the supervisors also set up bamboo pipes for water diversion in the supermarket, which made Li Qi feel fresh, and asked Xiao Yao who was accompanying him: "What are these bamboo pipes for?" ”

Xiao Yao was very proud: "This is called tap water, it was invented by Hou Ye, it is used to draw water and connect it to the toilet, you come with me." ”

Li Qi really wanted to tell Xiao Yao that this bamboo pipe for water was not invented by the master, and it had been used in the Tang Army for hundreds of years.

It is recorded in the military book he reads: "...... Take water across the mountain, go to the knot with a large bamboo tube, male and female contact, do not let it leak, and seal it with hemp paint. Push over the mountain, put the water tube, enter the water five feet, that is, take the pine birch hay at the end of the tube and set it on fire, and the fire gas dives through the water, that is, it should go up. ”

It's just that this method has always been applied in the military, and only Master thought of using it in his home house, and he really wanted to know how Master solved the problem of water sources.

The answer was soon revealed, he followed Xiao Yao to the backyard, and saw a big waterwheel that was being made three or four feet high, as well as the water tower next to it, and immediately understood, but this waterwheel was very strange, why did there be more big fan blades on all sides.

This is called a pumping windmill, which was also invented by Hou Ye, using the wind to drive the water wheel to pump water to the water tower, and then flow through the bamboo pipe to the place where the supermarket needs water. In addition to this, the Hou Ye also invented a flush toilet in the toilet, does the prince want to see it? "Xiao Yao's eyes are about to burst into stars when she speaks, my uncle is really amazing.

Li Qi also had the same idea in his heart, the master was not only powerful and capable, but also had a very good vision. Look at the teacher he is looking for, not only is she beautiful and amazing, but she is also very smart and capable.

With such a big mess of things in charge of the master alone, there was no mistake, and the master couldn't help but laugh out loud when he mentioned her. Well, when will I be able to meet a good woman like Shi Niang.

Li Qi envied Xiao Qu's illness in his heart, Xiao Qu's illness was in an office in the innermost part of the supermarket, while holding He Ke'er, gently inspecting and exploring the undulating and graceful lines of his body with his palm, while talking about the plan to open a bank.

This is a very wonderful feeling, probably because the two are in love, Xiao Quzhi always feels that He Keer is getting more and more beautiful and amazing.

The face is always red, the eyes are always bright and shiny, and the body exudes a strong feminine atmosphere, even if Xiao Quai's martial arts cultivation has reached the peak of his strength, and his mind is introverted and his emotions are not good, but every time he is in front of He Ke'er, there is always a feeling of being unable to give up.

Sometimes Xiao Qubing really wants to let go of everything at hand, do nothing, just guard He Ke'er, hug each other all day long, and get tired of being together. No matter what the Tang Dynasty is like to him, or what Anshi Rebellion he is, it has nothing to do with him!

In addition to her amazing beauty, the aura on He Ke'er's body is too attractive to herself. Xiao Quzhi knew that it was the breath of female hormones, and men and women in love would secrete a large amount.

But while enjoying the tranquility and pleasure of being with He Keer, he still longs for the feeling of charging into battle with thousands of troops and horses.

At the same time, he also has a very arrogant dream, he wants the whole Datang and the whole world to follow the rules, he wants to turn the whole world into his stage and sway his dreams to the fullest.

Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, galloping between the world and the world, Jin Ge Iron Horse, crisscrossing the world, men and children, when it is!

He Ke'er is not having a good time, she also enjoys the feeling of being together, but she also knows that Xiao Quai's career is serious, and the only thing she hopes for is to help him share more. When he was done with everything, he would have time to spend time with himself. Therefore, although He Keer was a little distracted, she was still listening to Xiao Quai's words very seriously, for fear of missing a detail.

When I heard that Xiao Qu's illness was that small silver coins were easy to be counterfeited and not easy to issue, and large gold and silver coins were inconvenient to use. For example, if you buy 200 things, you can mention 200 Kaiyuan Tongbao; Either carry a Datang silver coin worth 500 Wen on your body, and get back 300 Wen after paying. No matter what you do, you have to carry a pound or two of copper coins with you.

He Ke'er laughed and said, "Xiao Lang, this is simple, in order to increase the hardness of the five-dollar silver coin, you added two cents (4%) of copper to it. But a small amount of silver can be omitted, and sterling silver can be used.

We can make five points of sterling silver into a standard shape, two is a penny, and we can measure it out with a balance. As for the authenticity, don't worry, the sterling silver is shiny and very soft, and you can tell it with a light bite of your teeth. ”

Xiao Qu was stunned for a while, He Ke'er's suggestion was too good, why didn't he think of it? In the TV series, many of the Ming and Song dynasties used broken silver to pay the bills, presumably this is extremely anti-counterfeiting. What I have to do is to standardize the broken silver and make it into a five-cent weight.

In this way, between a Kaiyuan Tongbao and a Datang silver coin worth 500 Wen, there is a silver slot of 50 Wen, which is greatly improved by a level in terms of ease of use.

It's a shame that he still comes from the next generation, which is much worse than He Keer. Xiao Qu's illness was happy, so he kissed He Ke'er's face and laughed: "My good wife, you are so smart!" Come and kiss one more! ”

He Ke'er's big autumn eyes opened wide, and her pink and snow-white, blown pretty face quickly rose with a seductive flush at a speed visible to the naked eye. The flush expanded rapidly, and in less than half a second, the whole face was already red, all the way to the neck.

The fragrant, alluring smell on his body became stronger and stronger, and Xiao Quai's heart suddenly fluttered. Holding her waist with one hand and supporting her neck with the other, the upper bodies of the two were tightly pressed together, and in He Keer's increasingly rapid gasp, he lowered his head and kissed He Keer's ruddy, delicate and lovely lips.

The two have known each other for more than a month, although they have had physical contact since the first day, and later they often hugged each other, kissed their hair, and cheeks, but like today, their whole bodies were tightly attached, and it was the first time that their lips touched.

He Ke'er felt that a heart was about to fly out, and the strange aroma on his body rushed straight into his head, and the whole person immediately fainted, his face was so red that he wanted to burn, his breathing became heavier and heavier, more and more difficult, and his body was crispy and numb, and it was so hot that it seemed to melt.

He Ke'er felt that she was about to faint, her mind was blank, and she felt in a daze that Xiao Quzhi actually pried open his teeth, and her hot tongue stuck in, and when she found her tongue, she was entangled together.

Xiao Quzhi carefully tasted the sandalwood tongue of the girl in his arms, full of the unique sweetness and fragrance of the liquid. A pair of hands still refused to be honest, and kept roaming over Kerr's body, sliding down her collar into Kerr's bust.

Immediately, there was a wonderful feeling of firmness, softness and elasticity in the palm of the hand. Xiao Quzhi was immediately intoxicated by the silky, delicate and delicate touch. Xiao Quzhi couldn't help but start kneading it and changing its shape as he pleased.

Xiao Quzhi felt as if he was about to fly, but his consciousness was terrifyingly clear, he could clearly hear the breathing and heartbeat of the two of them becoming more and more rapid, the good-smelling girl's body fragrance on He Ke'er's body became stronger and stronger, and even the sound of blood flowing under the skin of the two of them could be heard clearly.

He was fascinated by the wonderful feeling of being mesmerized, and longed for time to stand still in this moment forever.

At this moment, Xiao Yao's voice came from outside the house: "Master Hou, Uncle and Master Chen from the Liuli Workshop are here." ”

Xiao Qubing didn't want to care about him, but He Ke'er's body shook violently like an electric shock, and he hurriedly pushed Xiao Qubing away, and stood up from Xiao Quai's arms. His face was flushed, and his hair was slightly soaked with sweat, and he said shyly while sorting out his clothes: "Uncle and Master Chen are here, you should go out quickly, you can't let them break in." ”

Xiao Qu smiled apologetically and bitterly, helped He Ke'er tidy up her clothes, reached out and put it on her right cheek, and whispered, "I'll go out first, you can come out later." ”

I can't complain about the two of them, they had made an appointment before, Xiao Quzhi sighed in his heart, pushed the door and came to a reception room where He Keer's third uncle and Master Chen of the glass workshop were.

"Third uncle, Master Chen, seeing that you are so happy, do you have good news to tell me?"

The third uncle's name is Wang Yushu, who is nine years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and is the third son of Wang Yuanbao who is responsible for supervising the construction of glass. Wang Yuanbao now has a total of three sons, the eldest Wang Yucheng, who is mainly responsible for the operation and sales of glass; The third Wang Yushu is responsible for the glaze firing technology; The sixth Wang Yujue is responsible for Wang Yuanbao's other industries.

Wang Yushu and Chen Dayou, the master of glass firing, are the two people who are the most proficient in glass firing technology in the entire Tang Dynasty, in addition to the official. After negotiating cooperation with Wang Yuanbao, Xiao Qubing was invited by Wang Yushu to visit the Wang family's glaze workshop the next day.

To Wang Yushu's disappointment, this nephew and son-in-law, who threatened to improve the glaze firing process, did not put forward any constructive suggestions, so that Wang Yushu couldn't help but wonder if this nephew and son-in-law was a liar or a big talker.

However, although Xiao Quzhi did not give any opinions on the glaze firing technique, he left them two recipes and processes after the visit. One is glass, which is half a peer;

The other is something I've never heard of, it's called cement, and the formula and firing technology are not difficult at all, but the production is dusty, and you have to make a mask in advance.

After two days, the first batch of glass products and cement were quickly burned, and Wang Yushu and Chen Dayou, who were still unconcerned, immediately changed their previous thoughts, shouted excitedly, and took a few samples early to report the good news to Xiao Quai.
