"New products? Daisen, do you really want to make sake?! ”

Zhao Laosi was carrying a rice wine bottle, looking at Deng Shifeng with red eyes, and his face made everyone laugh again as long as he had good wine and no old craftsmanship and wife. After a while, Deng Shifeng waited for everyone to finish laughing, and he was calm and calm, and then said:

"It's not likely, but the answer is in your hands."

"In my hands?!" Zhao Laosi first looked at his hands and found that there was nothing else except an empty wine bottle, and his mind was already dizzy, and he suddenly didn't understand what Deng Shifeng was referring to.

"Daxian, you mean to make glass?!"

Qin Er's brain was relatively fast, and when he saw the glass bottle containing the wine, he finally understood what the different new products Deng Shifeng was referring to, if the new products referred to glass, it was indeed completely different from ironware.

"That's right! It's glass!! Deng Shifeng nodded with a smile and admitted Qin Er's judgment, and slowly expressed his thoughts under the somewhat surprised gazes of several people.

Although the production of iron has made a good start, and with the development of plates and wire drawing equipment, many new iron products will be added, but the weight of ironware, as well as the current government salt and iron monopoly system, doomed the sale of iron for a long time can only be secretly produced, can not be maximized infinite expansion, and the population of the village is limited, and it is impossible to devote all of it to the production of iron. And the characteristics of iron products are placed there, as long as the output can not be increased and produce the production efficiency of the machinery industry to start at full speed, the cost of a small amount of production and those handicraft workshops are not big, if it is transported to too far away to sell, even if the quality is good, it will be offset by long-distance freight and timeliness costs, so that the competitiveness of the products produced by the subway craftsman will be greatly reduced, plus its appearance is also easy to be imitated, it will not be long before the market will appear handicraft workshop copycats to seize the market.

Glass products do not have this kind of constraint! First of all, it does not belong to the government-controlled products, so in the sales process, Huang Zhangshi does not have to take a special way to increase operating costs and avoid some unnecessary troubles; Moreover, glass in this time and space in the domestic luxury category, the selling price is not only high but even can play some special role, this second point alone has made the eyes of several people here shine; The third point is the high transparency of the glass thing, even if it is currently the most proficient in playing glass in Europe, it is also a high-tech threshold product, not to mention in China, as long as the technology is not leaked, you can not be afraid of being copied and robbing the market by yourself!! As for the last fourth article, at present, because of the small blast furnace, we have basically mastered how to break through the technical constraints of silica, the most critical raw material, the increasing temperature, and the technical door to the production of clean glass has been half opened!

Four ideas were eloquent, and several men slapped their legs to determine the research plan for the new product without thinking much about it, but they didn't know that Deng Shifeng still had a few points to explain to them.

Although the temperature of refining glass is there, but how to solve the bubbles inside a glass is another technical step to step up, not to mention the removal of impurities in the raw materials and the neutralization of the minerals inside the raw materials to finally get pure glass is a great problem that needs to be tried repeatedly, Deng Shifeng only has a small amount of technical instructions in his mind about the production of glass, and even he himself is not sure how much time it takes, how many attempts to finally determine the production process.

It's just that Deng Shifeng understands that no matter how high this threshold and steps are, he must step over, not to mention the current memory and process, just a technology of automatic and stable stirring glass slurry can make the overall technical research to a new level, this kind of point to surface benefits Deng Shifeng can not not use; More importantly, because there are no beakers, test tubes, curved necks and various glassware made of transparent glass, then there will be great resistance to the chemical research to be carried out later, not to mention the optical instruments and equipment such as telescopes!!

As several key development directions for next year have been determined, everyone's topics are basically carried out around these things, in addition to the exchange of some technical and pre-preparation matters, there are also discussions on the overall arrangement and coordination of education and manpower; Now several men here have tasted the sweetness of technology and knowledge culture, Lao Sun Tou and Zhao Carpenter spend more time in the school and study with those children every day in addition to working in the factory, even Qin Er also realized that if he wants to follow Deng Shifeng's development and promote this head, then he also needs to learn a lot of words and operations to support his management ability, so now he is looking for his two sons every day to make up lessons for himself, just to be able to catch up with Lao Sun Tou and them as soon as possible, A couple of men...... They are all secretly competing with each other in their own way......

"Teacher...... I want to take a leave of absence in two days......"

Qin Er's grandson couldn't interject about the topic they discussed, and during the conversation and discussion among these elders, Luo Dan took a loophole and made an application to Deng Shifeng.

"Leave? What's wrong, not feeling well? ”

Hearing that Luo Dan was going to ask for leave, Deng Shifeng frowned a little puzzled. The reason why Luo Dan wants to ask for leave from himself is because he is both his own student and his own soldier, even during the school vacation now, Luo Dan and the other two students have not stopped studying and training and have been opened by Deng Shifeng every day. Deng Shifeng did this because the other two students are the disciples he is currently promoting and cultivating, and next year, because there will be more and more technical work to be studied and involved, he not only needs suitable assistants, but also needs someone to help teach when he is working; And Luo Dan is because of the different directions of building, the characteristics of soldiers are destined to alienate them from vacation, and they must train for a long time to maintain a good technical and tactical level, so the leave that Luo Dan said is a real vacation without learning and training.

Luo Dan showed a shy expression for the first time, hooked his fingers to the grass and wood ash on the ground and whispered, "It's not a physical problem, but ...... But...... My mother asked me to go to the village with Uncle Qin in two days and come to the door to propose ......"

"Haha, I thought it was something, this is a good thing, which village is the other party from? How many days are you going? Well...... Since you are going to propose, then the bride price of this proposing can't be a loss of face, I'll see what else I can get to help you cheer you on......"

It is said that the Chinese people are happy to be happy and support face at the same time, Luo Dan as his own personal soldier to mention the bride price, it is not good, not only to lose the face of Luo Dan's family, but also to make people poke their backbones and say that they didn't follow the right person, Deng Shifeng can't let this kind of catch such a quarrel......

"Enough! That's enough! My mother and I saved up for a bride price a few years ago, and now we still have a few pieces of iron that have just been divided, and it is very face-saving to send them over......"

Seeing that Deng Shifeng was so concerned, Luo Dan hurriedly explained, and the conversation between the two also attracted the attention of several other men, and the words naturally shifted to Luo Dan's family business, and through the supplementary narration of several elders, Deng Shifeng figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Since becoming a black household fleeing, the marriage of the younger generation in the village has become a boulder in the hearts of the older generations, because there is no household registration and no legal official identity, it may be easy to marry into a serious family with household registration outside, but it becomes extremely difficult or even unrealistic to marry a wife from the outside, and no one wants to let their daughter live with a black household who does not even have a household registration. In this case, most of the fugitive villagers adopted the form of intermarriage and exchange of marriages to reproduce; At the beginning, due to the large number of people who fled the household and the relatively close location of residence, it was not too difficult to intermarry, but after being armed many times, the fleeing villagers moved into the mountains and moved to more remote places, resulting in little or even no contact with each other, which eventually led to the marriage rate of the villagers getting lower and lower, and the low marriage rate also led to a low number of births, coupled with natural disasters [***], the population of the village is also getting smaller and smaller......

Because of the deterioration of the external environment, the marriage situation of these fugitive villagers has also deteriorated, coupled with the shrinking of the population base, it has become more and more difficult to marry a wife, and the cost is getting higher and higher.

Luo Dan's family conditions and his own conditions are good, if it weren't for the battle in the first year, his father would have died in battle, their family would be more complete and have more potential, plus the identities and connections of the elders of Second Uncle Qin are not bad among the fleeing crowd, a few years ago, several elders had already looked for a good object for him - a girl from a small village in Heihu more than 20 miles away. And this year's New Year, the girl is fifteen, according to the age of the ancients is a good age to get married, a series of processes such as marriage and selection are down, and this time at the end of next year will just pass the door, so Luo Dan asked Deng Shifeng for leave and prepared to go to propose marriage with Qin Er's elders.

Although the two families are more satisfied with this family affair, but the number of gifts that should be asked is not less, Deng Shifeng specially asked Luo Dan and Qin Er about the bride price they prepared, and added a set of young female clothes from the cave and two sets of baby clothes that the parties were going to give away as a bride price......
