Sure enough, I heard He Zhongzheng say indifferently, "Well, the method is actually the same, and the materials are basically the same, but it's ......"

Speaking of this, his voice stopped abruptly, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and asked Xia Yanqing, "Fourth aunt and grandmother, let's make an appointment with the treasurer of Baotai Yinlou to pick up the goods, it seems to be today, right?" ”

A few of the onlookers listened attentively to He Zhongzheng's words, but they were cut off by him at once, and they almost got stuck in their throats in one breath, and they all choked and coughed.

Xia Yanqing was amused by He Zhongzheng's divine turn, even if it was to lure out the inner ghosts, he didn't need to be so happy, right?

laughed in his heart, but his face was still as usual, and he smiled and said, "Yes, I said that today is the right time, and the shopkeeper will come to see the goods." I didn't say anything before, but I was afraid that this batch of glass would not ship well. Now, it seems that this recipe and the control process are very good, and you can do it in the future. ”

Mr. Bai stood behind Xia Yanqing with a smile on his face, but his eyes swept the expressions of everyone around him several times.

In late March, she will take people to Pingyang County to carry out the glass business in the south, using the better technology in Xia Yanqing's hands, and the technology will never be leaked.

At least, it can't be leaked out for a long time.

Now that some people have been preliminarily finalized, suspicious craftsmen have been avoided, but they still need to be screened again to be foolproof.

And now Liu Baonian's performance is a little too urgent, and he didn't show any flaws before.

What Xia Yanqing observed before was the food and clothing of the craftsmen and workers in the workshop, and the changes in family conditions. That is, with this method, there are several objects of suspicion at the beginning.

This Liu Baonian and his family's food and clothing have not improved much, even if he gets three times the salary for the New Year, and the reward for the successful firing of glass, I haven't seen how he spends it, as always thrifty.

Unexpectedly, a few pieces of glass made him lose his square inch. Such a guiding question, as well as that eager look, under deliberate observation, the intention is obvious.

There are several people with this kind of urgency and evasive expressions, and with Mr. Bai's twenty years of vision in the palace, he can see these at a glance and secretly write them down one by one.

Liu Baonian still didn't know, and still asked He Zhongzheng with a smile, "Is it the same material?" Just what? Let's also learn so that we can do things well in the future. ”

If it weren't for Xia Yanqing and Mr. Bai's repeated explanations, He Zhongzheng would have punched him a long time ago.

Special mother's is still doing things well, doing things for other families, right?

Laboriously maintaining his original demeanor, He Zhongzheng shook his head again and again, "You don't have to learn this, let's say it's a glass workshop, but in fact, it's mainly about firing all kinds of glass." This thing of glaze occupies space and consumes time, and it has to be polished afterwards, so we only make a small amount of it, and we don't need many people to learn. ”

"Oh, that's right." Liu Baonian was greatly disappointed, and had the heart to continue to ask, but he was afraid of being suspected, so he had to ask about the glass instead.

"Then when are we going to come out of the glass again? Our craftsmanship can be practiced well, taking materials, blowing, and drawing are all handy, is it time to start making some utensils? ”

He Zhongzheng nodded and replied in a very general way, "Well, you will be able to make some utensils soon." ”

In the past month, everyone has basically been practicing with liquid glass.

Some skilled craftsmen have been able to dip the amount of liquid glass very close to the amount by feel, and the blowing sentence is also quite good.

He Zhongzheng looked at the people around him with some depression, among them, there is a craftsman with good craftsmanship, who has recently sent his children to study at home, and sometimes flips and expands the house, and it is likely that he has colluded with outsiders to sell the recipes and techniques of the workshop.

It's a shame.

Not long after, the janitor reported that the treasurer of Baotai Silver Building came.

Xia Yanqing instructed, "He Zhongzheng put away the glass first, and then send it to the steward's room after being instructed." Qiao Chensheng led people to sort out this stove and prepared to burn a few pieces of glass in two days. ”

Liu Baonian and a few craftsmen were originally a little sluggish, but when they heard that they were going to burn the glass again in two days, they immediately became energetic again.

Peeked at the backs of Xia Yanqing and Mr. Bai again, and calculated vividly in his heart, how to peek into Liuli's recipes and practices next.

The shopkeeper sat in the steward's room of the kiln, holding a cup of tea absentmindedly, and was very worried.

Half a month ago, he came here again to discuss the purchase of glass, and this time, he met the serious owner of Qingyun Zhai, Aunt Xia Si.

Aunt Xia Si's grandmother promised to try to burn the glass, but she didn't give him the truth, and only told him that it would be shipped today, let him come and have a look, but it did not guarantee the shipment, and it might not even be of the highest quality.

The shopkeeper was worried about this, and the New Year stopped for more than a month, and during this time, there were more people who came to Baotai Yinlou to inquire about glass jewelry.

The owner is anxious to do the glass business, and he is also in a hurry, but he doesn't know whether the glass workshop has high-grade glass.

There was the sound of footsteps approaching outside the door, and the sound of men saluting the lord's house.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stood up, and saw the door open, Xia Yanqing and Mr. Bai walked in, followed by the girls they were carrying.

This is the second time that the shopkeeper has seen this woman who does not show up much in the capital, but is the most talked about.

Although there are a lot of discussions, none of them can match the beautiful and generous woman in front of her.

The last time we met, the shopkeeper was very surprised, what kind of countryside can I raise such a confident and generous woman?

is even more surprised by such a woman, how can the Wang family reconcile with her, and later be able to straighten out another woman?

Today's second grandmother Wang, the shopkeeper has seen it, and her appearance is not good, she can be regarded as delicate. But in this world, there are more beautiful women, each with their own beauty, but there are really few aunts and grandmothers of the Xia family who are so graceful.

Anyway, he has been in charge of Baotai Yinlou for so many years, and he has never seen it.

Today, this aunt is wearing a light blue dress and a simple white hosta on her hair bun, which still looks comfortable and bright, and her beautiful face seems to glow.

"I'm sorry to keep the treasurer waiting." Xia Yanqing said with a smile.

The shopkeeper bowed again and again, "Where is it, where is what the fourth aunt and grandmother said, we can get Qingyunzhai's glass business, it is already a fluke." I hope that the fourth aunt and grandmother will not be annoying and noisy. ”

turned around and exchanged salutes with Mr. Bai again.

After a few polite words, the guests and hosts sat down.

The shopkeeper asked tentatively, "I heard from the guy, the fourth aunt and Mr. Bai are busy, are they checking the shipment of the glass?" ”

Xia Yan cleared his head and said, "The shipment situation of Liuli is fine, when will it be convenient for the shopkeeper to trade?" ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, got up and saluted, and said, "It's convenient at any time, the villain brought the silver." So, why don't we take a look at the goods first? ”

Mr. Bai gave a look, and Qiao'er nodded and went out.

Between the five pieces of glass were coarse cloth and thick straw mats.

He Zhongzheng took out the glass piece by piece and placed it on the long table in the room.

Three of them, to the forefather's surprise, were golden with some amber tinge, like the glazed gems he had previously acquired.

The other two were so unexpected that his eyes lit up that they were the kind of deep lake blue, deep and crystalline.
