After returning to the furniture shop, Lin Meili asked Ding Xiaojiang to take out a palm-sized piece of glass that the child had asked for in the glass workshop.

"Erya, you go and get a basin of water." Lin Meili commanded.

Ding Xiaojiang stood aside and watched Lin Meili carefully take out the piece of glass, carefully rinse the front and back with the clean water she had just fought, then took a clean cotton cloth and wiped the surface of the glass back and forth repeatedly, and took out a bottle of strange potion to coat the other side of the glass, and finally dried it and put it aside.

"Sister Beauty, what kind of potion did you put on that piece of glass?" Ding Xiaojiang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's not a potion, it's my homemade diluent of silver powder, which can be made into the simplest mirror, this process is actually very rough, but the effect should be good." Lin Meili also sighed that the conditions of this ancient world were limited after all, and she couldn't get silver nitrate and ammonia, so she only thought of this most crude method, but the effect was definitely a hundred times stronger than the current copper mirror.

Outside, Master Ma and a few of their carpenters have been doing their work for several days, since the grand ceremony of the Rongguo Mansion, wheelchairs have also quickly become popular in Beijing, and the furniture store has received several orders for wheelchairs before it officially opens.

Now there are sliding door wardrobes, beds, multi-functional bookshelves, desks, coffee tables, standing cabinets, eight-immortal tables, chairs, dressers, hangers, basin racks, and large bath tubs, which are full of half of the room, everything is very heavy and strong at a glance, not a single nail is used, all with mortise and tenon, and now it is only the color of the wood.

Lin Meili touched these wood grains and couldn't help but admire: "Back to basics, original, I think it's already very good!" ”

After hearing this, Master Ma smiled and said, "This is still early before delivery!" First, the surface should be wiped and smoothed and then painted several times. After the first coat of paint, wait for the paint to dry and then come back to paint the second time, a total of more than three times to paint the surface of the furniture can be bright. ”

As he was talking, a few more residents who lived in the neighborhood came outside, saying that they had come to order wheelchairs for the elderly with limited mobility at home. When I saw this room full of furniture, I couldn't help but admire: "Shopkeeper, my eldest son is going to get married next month, and we also want to make some such furniture." ”

Master Ma arranged the day for them, "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it this month, and the rest of the list can only be done after the fifteenth of next month." ”

When the family heard this answer, they all felt a little regretful and said, "Hey, we didn't know about the furniture store here until yesterday, and it seems that we won't need these new furniture when we get married next month." ”

Master Ma kindly comforted: "It is not so fast to paint furniture, and every time you paint it, you have to wait for it to dry thoroughly, and finally you have to scrape and polish it, which is more time-consuming than hitting furniture." ”

Saying this, the family was relieved: "Then wait, slow work and careful work, as long as the furniture is done well, then let's just order a few pieces today." ”

Lin Meili sighed with emotion and watched with her own eyes from the most ordinary wood to the furniture that has been formed today, this process is really magical, Master Ma's big hands look rough, but they are extremely dexterous. He can make the tenon and tenon socket exactly right, and the wooden end is tightly closed when it enters the hole, and the whole wooden board is as smooth as a mirror.

Now after his polishing, the furniture is smoother, Master Ma took out the lacquer with castor oil, he asked the family in advance about the color they liked, just now after entering the house to adjust it, with the silk dipped in the wood and rubbed hard, the original color of the wood pattern with a deep red.

Lin Meili looked at the precious and natural color, thinking that this master Ma's live advertisement was so beautiful, and she hurriedly echoed: "This color is really beautiful!" ”

Everyone also said yes, and some people couldn't help but ask, "How is this color adjusted?" ”

Ding Xiaojiang said proudly on the side: "This is my father's secret recipe, I only told Master Ma, and even I haven't taught it yet." ”

Unconsciously, a few more guests who wanted to play furniture couldn't help but ask, "Can you make other colors?" ”

"White, black, yellow, brown-red, dark green." Master Ma said patiently.

"Will the paint fall off?" Someone else asked curiously.

Master Ma took the silk head in his hand to show everyone, and said: "I use them to rub the paint into the wood with great strength, and after rubbing it several times, the color of the paint will be heavy, and then use the bristle piece to scrape the paint flat to ensure that the paint will not fall off for decades!" ”

After listening to Master Ma's words, everyone nodded happily and said, "In the future, we will come to your house to make furniture!" ”

Lin Meili was also very happy to listen, after all, the furniture store had not officially opened before it ushered in its first official customer.

At this moment, I saw Er Ya running over in a hurry, holding the piece of glass he brought back before.

"Miss, take a look, the slave maid just glanced at it curiously, and this thing actually shines more clearly than the bronze mirror." Erya said excitedly.

Get! There was another live advertisement, Lin Meili cooperated to take a look, the effect is really good, it seems that more mirrors can be made in that way.

Master Ma has been doing this business for so many years, and his sense of smell has always been keen: "Miss, you specially took us to that glass workshop in the morning, is it just to make this thing?" ”

"yes, it's called a mirror, you can install it on a dresser or even a closet."

The big guys all gathered around, took the mirror and began to study, and they were still talking enthusiastically.

"I have black moles all over my face! I didn't realize that I was a starry man before. Someone joked to himself.

"Have you taken a picture? Isn't it my turn. Someone said eagerly.

"When you get up, don't shine on your face, lest you have nightmares at night."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that your face is still more suitable for hazy beauty!"

……

At this time, a little girl among the guests cowardly walked up to Lin Meili and said, "Big sister, I want to buy your mirror." ”

……

Murong Bai, who made up his mind to participate in the imperial examination last night, went directly to the bookstore to buy books after waking up, but accidentally ran into someone there.

"Brother Zicong!"

"Master Murong! Why did you come to the capital too? Lin Zicong was a little surprised to meet Murong Bai in the capital, although he always knew that the other party's family background must be extraordinary.

"I'm going to participate in this year's scientific expedition, so I'm going to buy some reference books at the bookstore." Murong Bai explained.

"I remember the last time I met Murong Gongzi, you didn't have the intention of participating in the imperial examination." Lin Zicong remembered that at that time, Murong Bai said that he had achieved fame in Xiucai when he was young, but he had no intention of being an official, so he would not participate in the scientific examination, and he felt sorry for the other party at that time.

"I met someone who made me want to change myself." Murong Bai saw Lin Zicong's doubts, so he explained implicitly.
