Qiao Chensheng looked at the two ornaments that were as blessed as the East China Sea, and felt extremely distressed. Two pieces, there is not even a shape, in vain the first two basic samples.

That's all the hard work of everyone, firing, polishing, and shaping again, and doing it without ambiguity at all, but it is such a result, how can it not be frustrating.

Xia Yanqing is a lot more relieved. With such simple and backward conditions, just vague glass raw materials with firing tests to determine the composition, and without the assistance of various modern instruments, the glass can be successfully fired, and she is already super satisfied.

She tapped her palm twice and said, "Okay, don't be discouraged, this is the first time we have made such a complex shape, and it is already good to have such a result." I just want to work hard in the future. ”

Then he instructed Qiao Chensheng: "Go to the account room to pay some silver, whoever participates in the production of glaze, the main craftsman will be rewarded with two taels of silver, the auxiliary craftsmen and skilled workers will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and the rest of the handymen will be rewarded with five hundred dollars." ”

Qiao Chensheng and a group of craftsmen softened their faces slightly.

The two stewards Zhao Shan and Liu Shigui took people to take a few wooden boxes, put straw on them, put the defective glass products into them, hung up the numbered plates, and took them.

Yang, Gao, and a few maids, surrounded by the dazzling colored glass products, watched and marveled, and didn't care what the people in the workshop were doing.

Xia Zixi looked at the craftsmen's solemn storage of the defective products of the glass, and asked in surprise: "Aren't these things damaged or remelted?" How can it be kept so well? ”

Xia Yanqing explained: "These things are inferior compared to the complete shape. However, for many newly fired glazed products, it is an indispensable basic glaze, which can be used to adjust colors and patterns. ”

She said, motioning to Xia Zixi to look at the glass cups.

"The color transformation and transition in these glass cups are achieved through some basic glasses of different colors."

Xia Zixi nodded her head to show her understanding, and then carefully looked at the shape and color of a few glass cups.

The shape of these glass cups is a traditional style, with a smooth round rim and a smooth outer wall that converges at the bottom of the cup to form a base.

Amber is still the base tone, but there are silky blues and deep oranges that blend in. Although carefully compared, the color details of each glass cup are different, but there is an unexpected sense of unity.

If you want to think of these colors, you can use the orange-red and blue of the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate and Furu East China Sea to achieve the purpose of blending.

Next, these glazed products with complete shapes have to be polished and polished at the edges and subtleties. It takes two to three days to see the real finished product.

Qiao Chensheng and the others did their own things, and Xia Yanqing invited Xia Zixi and a few others to the steward's room to rest for a while.

A few people looked at the glass display in the steward's room again before they sat down.

Xia Zixi drank tea and asked, "The yield of the glazed cup is still quite high, better than you expected." If you have three pairs of glass bowls, when do you plan to enter the palace? ”

Xia Yanqing said mysteriously: "I asked Shopkeeper Kang to contact Bao Ti Yinlou before, and their glass jewelry is ready to be launched in early August. The two discussed, and we first presented the glass cup to the palace, and then the Baoti Silver Building launched the glass jewelry. It is also considered that we will rise the market for glass jewelry, so as not to cause the price of glass jewelry to fall too fast, but no one will start. ”

Gao listened and said with a smile: "The business that the little sister made will take care of their follow-up, and if you can talk about credibility like this, there must be many people who are willing to cooperate with the little sister in the future." Glass jewelry doesn't need to be worried, as long as the thing is good. When will Bao Ti Yinlou launch glass jewelry, my sister-in-law and I will go to the field first, buy a few, and wear it to participate in two banquets, so that the glass jewelry will be greatly famous. ”

"It's best this way, you don't need to ask the fourth sister-in-law." Xia Yanqing responded very heroically, "When there is a letter, I will tell the second and fourth sisters-in-law." The two sisters-in-law looked at something and bought it. I paid my sister-in-law's bills. ”

Selling glazed semi-finished products to the silver building is also one of the important businesses of the glaze workshop, and she should be supportive.

In this era when diamonds are still scarce, the carefully polished glazed loose stone has a unique and unconcealable brilliance.

Although this batch of jewelry can be called a diving price, it is only compared to the price of the last time, and compared with ordinary jewelry, the current price is still high-end. As long as there are female dependents to bring it out, the same luxury and brilliance will be sought after.

Gao was refreshing, without any prevarication, and said with a smile: "It's best to have a little sister to pay the bill, and I can choose a few more pieces for the fourth sister-in-law when the time comes." ”

Yang laughed at her on the side: "Look at your little talent, as a sister-in-law, even the sister-in-law is taking advantage of it." ”

…………

This time, it was still Shao Yi who ran the official prison, but in addition to Xiuyuan behind him, he also brought the shopkeeper Kang of Qingyunzhai.

When Gonggong Wei heard the rumor, he said that Shao Yi was coming, and pondered the advice of Gonggong Sun, the chief manager of the inner chamberlain, and hurriedly went out to greet him.

Grandpa Sun welcomed Shao Yi in with a smile, but his eyes inadvertently swept over Xiu Yuan and the shopkeeper Kang, and naturally saw the package they were carrying.

Father-in-law Wei and Shao Yi humbly conceded and sat down separately.

Xiuyuan and Shopkeeper Kang were carrying packages and standing beside Shao Yi.

Especially Shopkeeper Kang, this is the first time he can get close to the palace, and he is excited. This is to follow the fourth aunt and grandmother of the Xia family to do things, otherwise, with his civilian status as a commoner for generations, he is only afraid of reincarnation for a few lifetimes, and he will not have this opportunity.

Father-in-law Wei glanced at the package in Xiuyuan's hands again, and said with a smile: "Our family has been advised by General Manager Sun, saying that the emperor ordered that if there is a new product in Qingyun Zhai, let our family be sure to receive it." Deputy Lieutenant Shao's trip ......"

Shao Yi said with a smile: "Father-in-law Wei is really dedicated to doing an errand for the emperor. ”

He turned around and raised his hand to the two men beside him.

Xiu Yuan and the shopkeeper Kang stepped forward, put the package in their hands on the table and opened it, and the four sandalwood boxes were placed flat on the table in turn, and the two retreated to the side.

Shao Yi opened the largest box first, and said: "This is the first batch of glazed objects fired by Qingyunzhai's glazed workshop. I specially selected some of the fine products and sent them to my father-in-law here for my father-in-law to taste. If you can still see it, you will go to the emperor again. ”

As he was talking here, the box was opened, and as soon as Gonggong Cao's eyes fell into the box, his eyes shrank sharply, and he stood up suddenly.

"This, this, is it really a glass ornament?!"

Shao Yi smiled and nodded, reached out to untie the two strips of cloth that fixed the ornaments, and took out the picturesque ornaments.

It is said that the country is picturesque, but it is actually a light blue glass ring with a diameter of eight inches. In the middle and lower part of the ring, there are several peaks and a river that surrounds the peaks.

Most of the peaks and rivers are in the pale blue glaze of the ring, and the upper part of the middle is in the hollow of the ring.

The mountain peaks are hidden with cliffs and layers of greenery, and two lone sails on the river are clearly visible.

In the lower middle part of the ring, there are mountain peaks and rivers, while in the upper part, there are several white clouds floating in the light blue and clear ring.

Gonggong Cao's eyes kept turning back and forth, eagerly looking at the details of the ornaments, and he felt that his eyes were not enough, and even his breathing was a little short.

Finally, he couldn't hold back, stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the glass ornaments, carefully felt the slightly cool and uneven smooth touch, and muttered in his mouth: "Liuli, it's really glass, it can be done so exquisitely, so exquisitely." ”
