The next morning after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiangxi asked Chang Shun to catch the car and saw Qin Hao leave home and go to the county seat to prepare for the exam.

Jiang Qian was reluctant, Qin Hao had been studying hard these days, and the only thing he came out was yesterday to help sell crabs, they didn't even say two or three words, and now he was leaving.

Until the carriage disappeared from sight, Jiang Qian couldn't bear to retract her gaze, but Jiang Xi touched her.

"Don't be sad, you should come back in five or six days at most, and when the time comes, you will be admitted to Xiucai, and you will follow suit, right?"

Jiang Qian's little face suddenly turned red, and she complained: "The girl is making fun of me again, son, he was admitted to Xiucai, what kind of light am I touching." There's something else going on in the workshop, so I'll keep an eye on it first. ”

Jiang Xi waved her hand, knowing that she was shy.

Turning his head and looking at the lotus seed, Jiang Xi said, "How about it, everything I told you to do has been done?" ”

Lianzi nodded: "I have already bought it, it is a secret place, that place has fired porcelain before, and then it was bought by the Shen family and made a secret warehouse." It's not inside the Shen family, it's close to the village, I went to inspect it yesterday evening, and it's very suitable for the girl. ”

Jiangxi bowed, the mysterious warehouse of the Shen family is still a good place, and it was still out of the kiln porcelain before, so there must be some things that can be used.

"What about the craftsman I asked you to hire?"

"I've been invited, the other party was originally a master in a kiln porcelain workshop in the county, and then he came back to care for the elderly when he was older, and it took a lot of effort to invite him out this time."

"Very well, take me over and have a look."

Ever since the last time he made wine, he had been trying to make some glass. In this year, there is only colored glass, and the price is very expensive, and only the royal nobles can use it. Even for people like the Song family, Jiang Xi had observed it last time, and there was only one glass lamp in Song San's study.

She deliberately asked, and the answer she got was that this glass lamp was given by the saint, and there was only one in their family, and the glass was too valuable, even in the capital, only a very few people could have it.

This news made Jiangxi more determined to burn glass, glass is so rare, if there is glass that is not pure and transparent than glass, the value must be higher than glass.

Moreover, she is also tired of the brass mirror at home, and has long wanted to have a silver-plated full-length mirror.

The biggest problem that bothered her before was temperature, but after learning that porcelain firing also requires high temperatures, she knew that asking the porcelain craftsman would definitely get an answer.

As for the raw materials, Jiangxi has long taken a fancy to them. There was quartz stone in the back mountain, and she had asked the people in the village to dig it before. In this era, the role of quartz stone was not discovered, and everyone thought that it was useless, and the Jiangxi family was willing to give money, so they naturally ran to dig it up.

Now, these raw materials have been piled up in two small piles, and they have been transported to part of the mysterious warehouse last night.

At the warehouse, the furnace used to make porcelain has been restored, and some people are working on quartz stone.

Jiang Xi's arrival attracted the attention of many people, and they all nodded to her, and Jiang Xi responded with a smile one by one. Just then, a white-haired old man walked over.

"Miss Jiang, these things you are talking about can really be fired into more exquisite objects than porcelain?"

Lianzi whispered to the side that the old man was the old craftsman, and that all the craftsmen had come here because they wanted to see something more exquisite than porcelain being fired.

Jiang Xi smiled lightly: "Does the old man doubt my words?" I've asked Lianzi to hand over the drawing to you before, and the processing method is written on it, as long as you do what I say, it will not be a problem. ”

The old man looked at her suspiciously, he had seen the drawing, which was a little the same as that of fired porcelain, but the temperature required for the flame was much higher. Moreover, there are some purification issues involved in the middle.

He doubted that porcelain was the most beautiful thing in the world, that it was great to be able to turn clay into something like that, and that there should be nothing in the world that could surpass porcelain.

However, he also felt that the person who could come up with that drawing must not just want to amuse them. Maybe something will come out.

"Miss Jiang, let me take the liberty of asking again, what will come out? Are you really sure that it must be more beautiful than porcelain? ”

On the one hand, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors, and on the other hand, in the era of the popularization of glass in the future, white porcelain is relatively more beautiful.

It's just that now there is only pure glass in the world, and the crystal clear thing in glass has not yet been created, and porcelain has been prevalent for thousands of years. If glass suddenly comes out, it should be the most exquisite in most people's minds.

Without answering the old craftsman's question, Jiang Xi asked rhetorically: "I wonder if the old man has ever heard of such a thing as glass?" ”

The old craftsman's pupils shrank, and his face became serious.

"Miss Jiang, what do you mean, it can't be that you can burn glass!"

You must know that the glass is too precious and rare, except for overseas tribute, there is no other source now. Craftsmen like them have only heard of the reputation of this thing, and have seen its shape on the picture scroll, but have never seen it with their own eyes.

If it can really be fired to make colored glass, it is something several times more precious than white porcelain, and it is impossible to say that craftsmen in their vein can rely on this thing to develop.

Jiang Xi shook his head slightly, causing the old craftsman to sigh softly. He knew how someone could have fired something like glass.

"Glass is born to form, I can't fire it. But I can make something purer and more beautiful than glass, and it's called glass. ”

"Glass?" The old craftsman frowned, he had never heard of such a thing.

"Old man, you don't know it now, but in the future it will be produced from your hands, and the value of this thing will not be cheaper than glass." As he spoke, Jiang Xi looked at everyone, "The things that will shock the world in the future will be produced from your hands." The reason I asked you to sign that agreement was because I was afraid that someone would leak this secret.

You just need to produce here with peace of mind, and my Jiang family will never treat you badly! ”

There are many craftsmen here, and their greatest goal in this life is to make something that will amaze the world, and as for the benefits, some people take it lightly, as long as they don't starve their families to death. ”

I stayed in the workshop here for three or four days, and Jiangxi checked them layer by layer, teaching them how to make glass, and on the other hand, he didn't forget to let people mine quartz ore and collect limestone.

Coming out of the glass-making workshop, Jiang Xi glanced up at the sun. Now that it is autumn, the sun is not so fierce, and the gentle sunlight sprinkles on people's faces, making her sleepy after not resting well for several days.

Fish and shrimp are still sold on a small scale, canned fruits are now not only sold in this county area, even the provincial capital has heard of Jiang's canned fruit reputation, canned peaches and canned tangerines have become many people must eat before and after dinner.

At the same time, sorghum wine, corn wine, and plum wine are also brewed in the cellar.

The entire Jiang family is full of prosperity.

A large vacant lot on the left side of the courtyard was bought, starting from the courtyard and connecting to the village on the right, which was the land of their family. Only the left side of the official road is connected, not their land.

This time, whether it was the money from the canned food, the sale of fish and shrimp, and the income from the shop, it was enough for her family to buy the vacant land on the left.

When Qin Hao was admitted to Xiucai, Jiangxi planned to rebuild a courtyard on the left. And the place where they live now can be used to house long-term workers and subordinates.

The new courtyard covers a large area, at least five or six times the current courtyard, and if the back of the house is also connected, then it will be even larger, not losing the Shen family in the town at all.

At least Jiang Xi also thought about whether to buy the Shen family's yard directly, but he gave up later.

Their family made their fortune in this location, and the old man and the old lady were also sent away from this place, they only recognized this place, if they moved to another place, if the two old men wanted to come back and see, wouldn't they be able to find a place?

Moreover, their fish ponds, workshops and cellars are all here, and once they move to a nearby place, it is not easy to manage.

After being tired for several days, Jiang Xi fell asleep on the bed.

Around dusk, Lianzi suddenly came to wake her up, and Jiang Xi was still immersed in his sleep at the moment, and his mind was a little confused. After opening his eyes and seeing Lianzi's pretty face, he turned over and planned to continue sleeping.

Lianzi couldn't cry or laugh, the girl was really tired these days, and she hadn't been so sleepy before. She also wanted the girl to sleep a little longer, but obviously not now.

"Girl, don't sleep, get up, Childe, he's back from the exam!"

"Come back, go back, don't disturb my sleep...... Well? What did you say! A carp in Jiangxi jumped up with its tail swinging, its eyes were wide open, and it seemed that there was still a trace of sleepiness, "Brother Qin Hao is back, then I have to go out and have a look." ”

She got up, barely put on her shoes, and ran outside.

"Brother Qin Hao!" As soon as she arrived in the outer courtyard, she saw Qin Hao coming back surrounded by everyone. I haven't seen him for a few days, Qin Hao's body has changed a lot, and he is wearing a green coat on him, which makes him even more elegant.

Qin Hao's gaze turned towards her, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Shi glanced at her and said angrily: "You kid, why did you run out like this, hurry back and put on your coat." ”

Jiang Xi suddenly realized, no wonder Lianzi kept shouting behind her, ran back embarrassedly, put on her coat under Lianzi's service, and then walked out again.
