Chapter 137: The Glass Workshop

There was a lot of talk among the onlookers outside, who had just heard the story from the open door.

At this time, as Shao Yi continued to scold, more content was analyzed.

"It turned out to be the sister of the king of Xiangjun, and the wife of the Marquis of Anping, no wonder. I'll just say, with such a lucrative business, how can no one make up their minds? It turned out that the person who could just fight the Xia family's idea hadn't come yet. ”

"yes, yes, isn't this coming?"

"It's a pity that the road is one foot high and the demon is one foot high, and the Xiangjun Wangfu is already very powerful, if there is no such ...... That Uncle Shao, the Xia family may have to suffer this loss. ”

"It seems that it is very important to find a suitable partner, if the Xia family is not in partnership with this person, I am afraid that I will really give the bulk of the glass business to others, and people will want seventy percent......"

"......" is full of discussions.

Xia Yanqing was mixed in the crowd, listening to people's various discussions, and then looking at Tian Qing and the three of them who were rolling and crawling on the ground, screaming miserably, and the whistling whip in Shao Yi's hand, his eyebrows couldn't stop jumping.

This Shao Yi, don't you want to be so arrogant, haven't you seen that the Tian steward has already been cowardly like that?

It turns out that as long as the status and strength are strong enough, there is no need to be reasonable.

There is also this Tian shopkeeper, in Mr. Bai's mouth, he is very powerful, how can he be like this when he sees Shao Yi? Anyway, I can also move out the Xiangjun Wangfu and the Hou Mansion, so it would be good to scare people for a while.

The two were not an order of magnitude at all, and there were no sparks at all as she thought.

Until he heard Shao Yi say about Antinghou, Xia Yanqing estimated that he was afraid that he would burn this fire to Anpinghou's mansion.

In the midst of everyone's discussions, after another whipping and scolding, the crowd was separated. Outside the crowd, two retinues also led a few horses and approached.

Shao Yi walked out of the crowd with Tian Qing's belt, took the reins of a horse, threw Tian Qing on the horse's back, and jumped on the horse's back himself.

Zhirui glanced at Xia Yanqing's side, and saw that the four of them had retreated, so he stepped forward and Xiuyuan, one of whom grabbed a servant of the Hou Mansion and rode a horse to follow.

The onlookers looked at the few horses that had gone away, and they all sighed: It seems that this Uncle Shao, who is known for his gentleness, has really gone to the Anping Marquis Mansion.

It's just that, as he himself said, he went to beg An Pinghou to let him live, but to find trouble.

Xinxiu is still in the mood, it is better to be a gentleman, and you can do it if you don't agree with each other. Look at the steward of the Hou Mansion, in front of Shao Ye, it is a puddle of mud.

She flashed her starry eyes and asked Xia Yanqing: "Grandma, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Xia Yanqing said angrily: "The horse is running so fast, you have to keep up." ”

She's also melancholy, okay?

Anping Hou is not a small steward who can compare, although there is no one in the whole capital who can treat Shao Yi as well, but for the face of Hou Ye and Hou Fu, no matter whether it is useful or not, Anping Hou will definitely struggle.

That scene should be more lively than here, but it's a pity.

"That's right, too." The little girl was very teachable and immediately discouraged.

Xia Yanqing turned his head and instructed Zhang Dazhuang: "You go over and take a look, there shouldn't be any repetition, just take a look at the excitement, come back and tell us." ”

"What about us? Where to? Xinxiu asked, they came out under the guise of checking the trial production of glass, and it seemed a little early to go home at this time.

Xia Yanqing walked to the carriage not far away, and said, "Of course, let's go and see how Liuli is doing." ”

The glaze workshop in the kiln has been burned twice, both because of poor transparency and variegated colors, classified as defective products, waiting to be recycled.

Whether it is glass or glass, after firing and shaping, it takes a long time to anneal, so it takes a long time, and the finished product has not been made until now

The glazed workshop was taken care of by Mr. Bai with the two young stewards of the Xia Mansion.

After trying the quartz sand obtained from several different channels, in the end, the supply location was set in Mangshan, Jiaozhou County, that is, the quarry prepared by Shao Yi and Guangyuan, but Xia Yanqing didn't know it at this time.

Xia Yanqing's understanding of glass, it must first solve the most basic problems.

So, the first thing she made was a batch of small pieces of flat glass. With the help of heat-resistant plate mold and pressing method, it is possible to make glass with good flatness.

This kind of glass has a less flat and mirror effect, although it can't be compared with modern glass, but this is an ancient time, and this kind of small piece of glass is inlaid on a window, or made into a lantern, you will definitely get an unprecedented lighting effect.

Because we have our own workshop, we can use open firing, and the molten glass can be stirred constantly during the melting process, which can not only fully mix the raw materials, reduce noise and other color spots, but also remove air bubbles in it.

When the molten glass meets the requirements, the molten glass can be obtained in batches and pressed on the flat mold.

In this way, various filigree patterns can be sandwiched between the glass...... That gorgeous beauty will definitely make the ancients fall in love.

As long as the transparency of the glass is okay this time, the next time you fire, you can try to press the filigree pattern into the glass.

As for the large, mirror-like glass, it's not that she doesn't know how to do it, but the method is too amazing, and there is no reasonable foreshadowing, and she is not easy to explain to others.

Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done little by little, and it is best to do it step by step.

When Xia Yanqing came to the workshop, the temperature in the workshop was very high, and the two young stewards were leading people to send the formed flat glass into the annealing kiln.

A man named He Zhongzheng just made a vacant move, saw Xia Yanqing coming in, and hurriedly greeted him and saluted.

Xia Yanqing didn't go forward, one was that the ambient temperature was high, and the craftsmen were not very neatly dressed, so they didn't have to make trouble for people. Again, everyone is busy, she is over, and people have to avoid her when they do their work, which gets in the way.

She asked, "How are the flat glass customers this time?" ”

He Zhongzheng replied: "Very good, several trial productions, this is the best one." Good transparency, no bubbles, and less variegation. Although the answer was simple, He Zhongzheng's words were filled with irrepressible excitement.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and made it with his own hands, he wouldn't have believed that he was actually a craftsman who could make glass.

What about the glaze, that's a legendary thing, and it's not an exaggeration to say that the fairy skills are good.

After he finished speaking, he beckoned to a small worker.

The little worker clamped a stack of shelves of flat glass with pliers, and was about to send it to the annealing kiln.

As the worker approached, a scorching heat came to his face.

He Zhongzheng also used pliers, took down a layer of flat glass shelves, and sent the worker away, so that Xia Yanqing could see the glass.

The glass is one foot two inches long and eight inches wide, and it also carries the residual temperature of molten glass.

He Zhongzheng lifted the glass slightly, and said with some excitement: "Auntie, you see, this batch of glass has excellent transparency, and it is not as green as the previous two batches, which is basically enough for the colorless transparency you require." ”

My aunt said that the glass they burned had good transparency and was different from the glass in the past, so it should be called glass.

No matter what it is called, what a chance it is to be able to pass through their hands, use several kinds of grit and auxiliary materials, and burn this unheard of and unseen glass.

Xia Yanqing looked closer, and saw two subtle bubbles in the corner, but it was not bad, such a backward condition, it was beyond her expectations to have such a finished product.
