A group of people gathered around in a noisy manner, and Hong Dagui also took out two small cabbages to show them, "Look, there is really nothing to see, there is no difference from the vegetables we eat on weekdays." ”

The onlookers looked sideways with disdain. This girl is so light, so hard! Can it be the same if you eat a piece of ice in the cold wind in the winter and a piece of ice in the summer sun when you eat it?

Eating fresh vegetables in summer and autumn is nothing, and there are even people who dislike it. But the nobles who are tired of a winter, it will definitely be rare to eat this vegetable.

Everyone watched the two baskets of vegetables be sent to the carriage and left, and they also gave their hands and said goodbye.

The news that should be inquired about has already been heard, and if you don't hurry up to find your own family to report the news, it will be a waste of time to stay here.

…………

King Xiangjun first reported the news to his mother.

When Prince Xiang heard this, she showed great regret, "I knew that this was the real thing, no matter what the quality of his glass was, I would fire two furnaces first, and also make a glass room." By this time, we almost have vegetables in our house. If you take this opportunity to hold a banquet, at that time, I was afraid that the glass was not clear enough, and there were many people who planned to buy it back and plant vegetables, vegetables and fruits. ”

King Xiangjun is also full of regrets, but now he still misses the season, seeing that the weather is getting warmer and the land is unsealed, and now the glass is fired, and the finished product is half a month later.

At that time, it was okay to plant directly in the field, and what kind of greenhouse was built?

They got the glass recipe and the firing and pressing methods, but there were many twists and turns in the production process, either there were too many impurities, or the colors were mixed. Even the flawed glass on the market that has changed hands several times can't be compared, let alone the glass used in the palace, there is no comparison.

Therefore, it has been delayed until now, and after many twists and turns, the quartz sand used to make pottery before was replaced with the mineral sand from the Mangshan Temple, and the quality of the glass was better.

But obviously, the glass with mixed colors before can also be profitable. It's just that they missed the best time.

Princess Xiang frowned and asked again, "Is that kind of colorful glass different from making glass?" It's good to burn some out and sell it to Yinlou, which is also a lot of income. ”

Prince Xiang shook his head, "Since the opening of the glaze workshop, we have never made glaze, and we can't buy glaze." When melting glass, although it sometimes has a green and yellow color, the color is too light to be effective, and the texture is too brittle and not easy to sand. ”

Prince Xiang was displeased: "Let them try again!" A bunch of waste, not even a country woman who has no knowledge. If it really doesn't work, find the craftsmen of the Xia family's workshop and ask them to steal the detailed materials of the glass recipe. As long as the silver is used, there is no fear that people will not contribute. ”

King Xiangjun echoed, "What the mother said is that the son has been asked to be found, and they are holding the handle of the Lord in our hands, and in the future, no matter what new things the Xia family does, we can easily get the recipe." ”

"And the glass," added Princess Xiang, "without any waiting, we will start making it." Tell the craftsmen to find faults while doing it, and if you can summarize the transparent and flawless glass materials and methods, you will be rewarded. ”

"Yes, in two days, a batch of glass will be baked, and we should be the first glass to be opened/sold." The king of Xiangjun agreed and retired.

Selling glass first is what he meant.

The Xia family's glazed workshop is like a sieve, with a large number of personnel and no confidentiality measures. From there, the people who bought off the craftsmen and stole the glass recipes and production methods were not the only ones who became the king's mansion.

If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid that others will push out the glass first and seize the opportunity.

…………

King Xiangjun's estimate is good, and indeed someone has built a glass workshop, and he also asked people to go to Xiajia Zhuangzi to inquire about the situation.

It's just that some families have begun to step up the firing of glass and prepare it for sale.

However, some people got the news that the greenhouse made of glass could indeed make crops grow normally, so they did not rush to plan to sell the glass, but quietly prepared to build a greenhouse in their own grange.

The people who broke into Xia's Zhuangzi before and were arrested were not nothing, at least they saw the general structure of the greenhouse from a distance, and saw the chimney against the wall with curling green smoke.

With the appearance and rich experience in using the Fire Wall Earth Dragon, it is still no problem to make a greenhouse.

If you plant vegetables in these days, you can still ripen a month earlier.

The important thing is that this kind of greenhouse should be able to cultivate seedlings, and there are more seedlings that can be cultivated in a few small greenhouses.

This kind of people's practice did not even alarm anyone, and quietly planted the seeds.

…………

Xia Yanqing is here, and as soon as the vegetables come out, this matter will come to an end. Others continue to plant, or cultivate seedlings, naturally have Hong Dagui and the old farmer plan of the grange.

A batch of glaze fired by the kiln for Baotai Yinlou can be baked.

This time, the glass is still a mold, because it is not open melting, nor is it a large-scale production, so there are few people involved.

It's just that Mr. Bai took He Zhongzheng and Qiao Chensheng to fill the main raw materials such as quartz sand, soil alkali, a small amount of glass clinker, and lead ore ash into several molds, and added different auxiliary materials such as limonite or copper slag to several molds, and sent them to the furnace for firing.

Because this firing is different from firing glass, melting, molding, and annealing are carried out separately. And the glass molds are sent into the furnace, which is to constantly add firewood and keep warm, and they have never been taken out.

As a result, this firing attracted the attention of craftsmen and others in the workshop.

When the sun came out, many people who had nothing to do at hand gathered around to watch.

The glaze is supplied to Baotai Yinlou for polishing, and this time the mold is very simple, just a few corrugated flakes.

The mold was broken, five pieces of glass were exposed, and the onlookers and others all exhaled in low voices.

These things are called glass, and they are really different from glass, and the mottled colors in them are very dazzling, probably because the texture is semi-transparent, and it looks subtle and noble.

He Zhongzheng and Qiao Chensheng were even happier when they fired glass for the first time.

He Zhongzheng carefully inspected several pieces of glass of different colors, and sighed, "Sure enough, the materials and craftsmanship are very particular, and with a slight change, the things that are burned out are very different." To be able to make such a dazzling thing, this life is really worth it. ”

Qiao Chen didn't talk much in his life, but at this time, he just kept nodding with He Zhongzheng, with irrepressible excitement on his face.

Closely following He Zhongzheng's words, the praise around him continued.

There are many people who compare glass with plywood glass, some say that each has its own merits, and some say that the color of glass is dazzling, and it is naturally more beautiful.

A craftsman asked He Zhongzheng as if unintentionally, "Listen to what you say, glass and glass should be made of similar materials, and the rest of the additives are also commonly used accessories here, right?" I look at this amber color, which is somewhat similar to the color of the sandwich glass we made, but the glass is more intense. ”

Several people looked at He Zhongzheng blankly, waiting for his reply.

Xiajia glaze workshop is not the same as other workshops, and the general techniques and materials do not avoid people.

Just like glass, most people in the workshop know the process of making glass, so maybe you can really ask the key to it.
