The porcelain kiln is on top of the brick kiln, and the two are separated by less than a kilometer.

The porcelain kiln has always been the most important economic source of the Liberation Mission, and it has played an irreplaceable role in the maritime trade with Count Eleanor's palace.

Almost every trade can bring nearly 10,000 silver coins to Crescent Island, and these silver coins are continuously exchanged for iron ingots, saltpeter, grain, cloth and other industrial raw materials, so that the liberation regiment has achieved rapid development in half a year.

This is also the reason why Donner attaches the most importance to the porcelain kiln at this stage.

The scale of the kiln has gradually expanded, from the previous 30 people to nearly 80 people working together, firing porcelain day and night.

A large number of vases, plates, wine glasses, ornamental porcelain, etc., were fired and shipped by Theodore to Manhill Harbor for sale.

According to what Donner learned from Theodore, porcelain in Manhill City was greatly sought after by the entire high society, and often ships arrived at the port and were shipped to the shops of Earl Elinor's Palace, which would soon be snapped up by the rich and nobles.

As it stands, porcelain is far from saturated throughout Manhill, and there are often only very small quantities of porcelain that are sold out of Manhill through the hands of some merchants to other parts of the kingdom of Augustos.

Moreover, the reputation of porcelain also spread to the royal palace, and a certain royal highness even ordered the Count of Elinor's court to pay tribute to porcelain. Last time, Theodore specially instructed Donner to make a set of porcelain tributes for the royal palace according to the pattern.

When the people in the porcelain kiln saw Donner coming, they bowed down and saluted, and Donner greeted him with a smile one by one.

The first group of people who were assigned to work in the kilns by Donner have now become skilled potters, leading the newcomers to work diligently, and many of them have tried to fire other shapes of porcelain on a whim.

Downer has always been appreciative of this situation. In his opinion, people who dare to think outside the box and can innovate are always worthy of praise.

In the past, Donner, the head of the porcelain kiln, had always asked Yuri to take the position, but after arriving at Cancer Island, Yuri, who really had no intention of managing it, turned down the task and indulged in the experiment wholeheartedly.

So now the person in charge of the porcelain kiln is Donner re-selected from the porcelain kiln, and Yuri has become the most eccentric and alternative existence in the porcelain kiln, and it is not much discussed.

Donner had been to this new porcelain kiln on Cancer Island a few times, and he took Jason to find Yuri.

At this time, the old alchemist was taking a few young and clever apprentices he had personally selected to fire something in a small kiln.

This small kiln was built privately by the alchemist not long ago by a stonemason, and it looks a little different from the porcelain kiln, as if it was transformed by the alchemist himself.

Donner hadn't seen it yet, but the stonemason had complained to him, and Donner didn't say anything at the time, leaving old Yuri to toss.

Anyway, in Donner's opinion, in this world of extremely rigid thinking, it is a good thing to be able to toss, especially since this person is still an otherworldly chemist.

Yuri yelled at the sad-faced apprentices, completely oblivious to Donner's arrival.

Donner didn't bother, smiling behind them, quietly watching Yuri busy.

The alchemist was quite devout about experiments, and although he had a strange temper, he was usually very nice to them, except for the habitual yelling at a few apprentices.

"Quickly turn off the fire, turn off the fire. Old Yuri shouted at a young man.

Jason asked, "Leader, what is the old alchemist doing?"

Donner smiled and said, "I don't know, let's take a look first." ”

After the fire was extinguished, after a few moments, Old Yuri used an iron tong to pinch out a piece of fiery red substance, which looked somewhat transparent.

Donner was a little stunned, this ...... It really made him toss it out.

Old Yuri turned around with his things, and then he saw Donner, and he was surprised: "Donner boy, why are you here, quick, come and see, I finally did it." ”

Donner walked over with a smile, and Old Yuri grabbed the glue-like substance with his iron tongs, placed it on the anvil, carefully pinched out a strange shape, and let it cool down gradually.

Then he took out a few round beads from the box next to him, and like a little urchin, he handed them to Donner as if he were a little urchin, and said, "You see, I have done it." ”

It's like saying, praise me, praise me.

The few beads in Yuri's hand, the size of a bird's egg, are colorless and transparent, and they are illuminated by the sun, emitting a dazzling light like crystal.

Jason's eyes widened and he said incredulously, "This is a crystal?"

Donner corrected with a light smile, "No, it's glass." ”

Yes, it was the glass beads that Old Yuri was holding in his hand.

Unexpectedly, Old Yuri has been experimenting with firing colorless transparent glass these days, and he really let him get it.

When he was on Crescent Island, he fired a glass substance, but at that time, there were still a lot of bubbles and impurities in the glass, and it was not colorless and transparent.

Now the glass beads in the alchemist's hand have been completely removed from impurities and bubbles, and have become colorless and transparent, becoming the glass in Donner's memory.

Donner laughed and said, "Old Yuri, let's talk about it, who do you like, I'll help you marry your wife back." ”

Old Yuri's face turned red, and he spat out, "Go and go." ”

Jason smiled knowingly, and Donner laughed regardless of his image: "I said that as long as you burn pure glass, I will find you a lady." ”

"I didn't fulfill your request to marry a lady. The old alchemist muttered, "My old Yuri, I don't need a lady. ”

Heh! And a little tsundere!

Donner held back a smile, really trying to tease the old alchemist.

At this time, Jason asked curiously: "Commander, this is called glass, how is it made, how is it exactly the same as crystal, I once saw crystal from the teacher, it is extremely beautiful, it is the teacher's favorite thing." ”

"Well!" Donner replied, "made of sand." ”

Indeed, the main raw material of glass is sand, and glass appeared on the earth more than 3,000 years ago, and in modern society, glass has become an indispensable item in the world

But Jason was a little stunned when he heard this!...... I can't imagine this!

Subsequently, Jason, who was relatively active in his mind, suddenly thought of this crystal-like thing, with its low cost and potentially huge profit value.

His heart was beating faster and he asked, "This...... Is it possible to sell glass? ”

Donner smiled incomprehensibly: "Not only do you sell it, this is something more profitable than porcelain." ”

One of the two things that made a fortune in the traverser will surely set off a storm of money every time it appears.

Then Donner said to Old Yuri in a seductive voice, "Old Yuri, would you like to have a set of glasses for experiments?"

"Can you really make a cup?" said Old Yuri in surprise, "I've been looking for a way these days, but I haven't been able to." ”

Donner chuckled: "I have the means, but there are conditions, you teach the method of firing glass to a few of your apprentices, and then hand them over to me, okay." ”

Old Yuri didn't think about it, and nodded again and again. He knew that Donner was going to sell the glass for money, but he had little interest in the silver coin, only experiments and successful experiments.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Donner agreed heartily.

It's really exciting to have a second commodity, which has always been Donner's heart problem, and now that there is a second one, and it is even more valuable than porcelain.

Glass, binoculars, cups, lamps, mirrors, the nobles go crazy!
