"Madam, let's stay away, the next thing is not suitable for us to touch!" Jingwen said.

Next, a group of people who wrapped themselves tightly came to the neighborhood. They were carrying a bucket of things in their hands, and this bucket was obviously very heavy, and a small bucket actually had to be carried by five or six people together, which was obviously not light. And Jing Wen and Cheng Lin had immediately left the distance, just watching these people doing things from a distance. And these people, before actually doing things, still check the things on their bodies to make sure that they have nothing to expose to the outside, so that they can do it with confidence.

"Husband, why are they wrapped so tightly?" Cheng Lin asked.

"They were carrying mercury, which is mercury, in their hands. This thing is poisonous, so of course you have to stay away from the outside. As for those who operate it, they also wrap themselves very tightly, and there is a 'gas mask' on their mouths, which I made with bamboo charcoal as a filter material. This kind of protection protects them as much as possible and does not poison them. Jingwen said.

Jingwen hired these people to operate this work with mercury, which is highly poisonous, and this was known to ancient people. In order to recruit these people, Jingwen specially paid several times the salary of ordinary people, and these extra expenses were the highly toxic subsidies for them. As for why he would recruit them even if he knew that it was poisonous, in fact, Jingwen had no choice. After all, any work in this world must be done by someone, just like many people in later generations know that miners are not safe, but it is not necessary for someone to do it. What can be done is to reduce the risk as much as possible and increase the wages of dangerous jobs.

Workers who were using mercury in the distance also began to prepare. And their first step is to cut the glass well, and cut off the flawed and irregular parts, so that they can really start using the glass.

"Alright, put the silver foil on it!" Someone said.

Someone started putting silver foil on top of the glass lenses. These silver foils are made from pure silver and then laid on top of the glass. In fact, the method of making these silver foils is not as difficult as imagined, but it is to use a heavy hammer to flatten the pieces of silver, and then push harder and harder, and finally the silver becomes a very thin piece, so this method can also be used to produce gold wave silver foil. The silver foil was also placed on the back of the glass mirror, and then the entire piece of glass was pounced on the silver foil.

"Alright, brush up on the mercury!" Someone commanded.

They began to use special brushes to brush the mercury onto the glass covered with silver foil, and once the mercury was applied to the glass. The silver foil on top of the glass begins to melt. The silver foil and mercury melt each other and form a very viscous and moist piece. Then they all stuck to the glass. In this way, it gradually became a silver shiny thing.

I don't know how long it took before Jing Wen took Cheng Lin to these things.

"Stand up!" Jingwen said.

And after Cheng Lin looked at the mirror and put it up, she suddenly looked in a daze, as if she had seen something strange.

Cheng Lin saw that in this mirror was actually her own image, and the surrounding scenery could be said to be exquisite, and every trace of it was revealed. And Cheng Lin's entire beautiful appearance, as well as all kinds of clothes on her body, and even all kinds of small decorations are also revealed.

"Husband, is this me?" Cheng Lin asked in surprise.

Of course, Jingwen said, "Of course." Madam, of course this big beauty is you! It's the first time you've actually seen your own face! ”

Jingwen had to feel sad for the ancients, and it was not easy for the ancients to see their own appearance. Ancient bronze mirrors were often very ineffective and had a yellowish color. So the reflection is very unrealistic. But if you look at the reflection on the water surface, this is also unlikely, because the limitation of the reflection on the water surface is too great, so it is not suitable for direct viewing. The reflections on the water surface are also distorted. This also caused the ancient people to see their own appearance, of course, it was not easy.

And the mercury mirror that Jingwen made can be said to be the best mirror of this era. These mirrors are exactly the same as the mercury mirrors of later Venice, made of mercury and silver foil. And later generations for this mercury mirror. But they are all very popular. Later legends have it that there are many women who can sell their souls for a mercury mirror, and any man...... There are also many men who buy a mercury mirror in order to make a smile, but they end up bankrupt. Therefore, the preciousness of this mercury mirror was very expensive in the early days of its invention, and its value cannot be overestimated.

"Husband, did you invent this?" Cheng Lin asked.

"Of course, of course I invented it! Hmph, I'm going to rely on these things as the treasure of my town. These mirrors are really rare treasures, and ordinary people can't have them! Jingwen said.

With such a large piece of mirror, Jingwen would never sell it casually. After all, such a large mirror will be priceless in the future. The glass of this era is similar to that of diamonds in later generations, and the larger the glass, the more the value of the glass increases exponentially. Slightly larger, the increased price is not the effect of one plus one, but it increases according to geometric multiples. So of course Jingwen won't get the large glass out lightly, otherwise it won't be worth it all of a sudden. In order to maximize profits, Jingwen of course has to sell slowly. Even if Jingwen can be mass-produced, it must be restricted.

"Lin'er, this big mirror will be given to you!" Jingwen said.

"Well, husband, I love you to death! I'll leave you at your disposal tonight. Cheng Lin immediately hugged Jingwen and said.

Jingwen thought secretly: "Sure enough, it is something that makes women crazy, such a mirror makes Cheng Lin, who looks like an ordinary noblewoman, become a. For women like people, it seems that the effect of the mercury mirror is really not to be underestimated! ”

The lethality of the mercury mirror is really very powerful for women, and Jingwen can be regarded as knowledgeable. Originally, Cheng Lin gradually developed into a noblewoman, but now her personality has changed greatly, and she has become like this, which is really not daring to underestimate the power of the mercury mirror!
