Chapter 35: Wait until the flowers bloom
Yuri played with the vase carefully, making a smacking sound from his mouth, and exclaimed from time to time.
The vase is painted with several patterns of different colors, which were painted on the embryo body by Donner when making porcelain, and the patterns are messy, which simply destroys the beauty of the entire vase.
However, this is only used by Donner to test the fusion of dyes and porcelain, and it is not so much, but in terms of color, the effect is not bad.
The pigment was begged for from the alchemist, and it is said that Yuri himself extracted it from the ore, and I have to say that the alchemist of this world is really capable.
Old Yuri took out a box, carefully took out a transparent lens, carefully looked at the porcelain in all directions, and tapped the vase with his fingers from time to time.
Donner looked at it, Yuri was holding a crystal-polished convex mirror in his hand, Donner couldn't help but be amazed, he didn't expect that someone in this world had already discovered the principle of the magnifying glass.
"How is it?Old Yuri, how much is this vase worth in the mainland?" The old alchemist was very interested in the vase, but Donner only wanted to figure out its price now.
"What?" Yuri looked up, blew his beard and glared, "You're going to sell it." ”
Donner was stunned for a moment, then nodded, the porcelain was originally made to be sold.
"Don't sell it, Don't sell it, how about giving me this pair of bottles!" said Old Yuri flatteringly, "as long as you give me this pair of bottles, you can take whatever is in the room." ”
Donner couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you want this thing all the time? It's not a precious thing to us. ”
"I can't even tell the material of this bottle. Yuri rubbed the vase and smacked his lips: "Although the above patterns destroy the overall beauty of the vase, it is still very precious." If I could have a bottle like this for my experiment, it would make me feel happy. ”
Donner was speechless, the patterns on it were just randomly painted, okay! The porcelain made later must be carved with truly beautiful patterns.
But if you use porcelain for experiments, you will encounter alkaline substances that will cause the experiment to be inaccurate!
"Old Yuri, this thing is made of mud, and if you want it, I'll give it to you. Donner smiled.
"What?" Yuri's eyes widened, "You've been burning this thing with pirates in the back mountains these days?"
"Yes!" Donner nodded, feeling that your old man has not seen anyone in the past few days, and he has been fiddling with these unscientific experiments at home, and the whole island knows about it, but you don't know.
Yuri held the vase in his hand, and suddenly felt a little tasteless, he was far from expecting that such a beautiful thing was actually made of mud.
Donner continued, "You haven't told me how much this vase is worth!"
Yuri wiped his beard and thought about it, although he was a little disappointed after knowing the essence of the bottle, but for the nobles on the continent, with the delicate appearance of the vase, it should be worth a lot of silver coins.
Old Yuri estimated in his heart and said, "Such a bottle should be worth more than ten silver coins." ”
Ten silver coins is not bad, Donner calculated in his mind, and then asked, "What if it were a little bigger, and add some patterns?" ”
"How big?" Yuri glanced at Donner, the vase in his hand was about thirty centimeters.
Donner gestured, about a meter high.
"Can you make it that big?" Yuri was surprised, "When are you going to do it?"
"Okay, wait two days and continue firing. Donner laughed and said that it would be better to have the help of the old alchemist, who was more familiar with the style that the nobles loved than anyone on Crescent Island.
"Then put these two bottles here for the old man. "It seems that old Yuri still likes vases.
"Okay, if you like, there are quite a few porcelain kilns there, and I'll have someone bring a set of dishes later." Donner laughed heartily.
Although the first kiln was a trial production, dozens of pieces of each type were fired, such as dinner plates, wine glasses, and vases, and everyone on the island should be able to get a piece of porcelain.
Although the batch of porcelain produced in the trial is not perfect, it should be able to make them happy when it is distributed to the residents.
......
For lunch, Donner was at Anna's house, and he brought a set of plates, drinking glasses, and two pairs of vases.
These things were new to Anna, especially vases, who loved them very much, but didn't know what they were for.
Donner took her to the lake and folded some ornamental plants, put them in a vase filled with fresh water, put them on the windowsill, and said, "There are no flowers now, and when spring comes, and the mountains are full of flowers, we will pick some flowers and put them in the vase, I believe you will like it." ”
Anna quietly peeked at Donner's side face, her eyes were full of tenderness, and her heart seemed to be filled with sweetness.
Anderson next to him couldn't bear it anymore, he knocked on the plate and coughed lightly: "Okay, come and eat." ”
On the round table, there were three white porcelain plates that Donner had just delivered, and Anderson was holding a white porcelain wine glass, which he had replaced without thinking about the crockpot he had used before.
When Anna heard her father's voice, she spit out her fragrant tongue coquettishly, slightly shy.
Donner smiled, answered, and sat down with Anna at the round table.
The main lunch was bread, and each person had a golden roast on their plate, which Donner sliced with a wooden knife and put it in his mouth.
It seems that Anna has made great progress in her cooking skills under her own teaching, and it seems that it is time to teach her some new cooking skills, is it better to cook Hunan cuisine, or Sichuan cuisine?
However, if there is no rice, wouldn't it be a bit nondescript to eat a plate of stir-fried vegetables with a plate of steamed bread? By the way, after coming to Crescent Island for so long, I forgot to get out the iron pot and shovel.
Donner thought about things as he ate, and the oil juice from the barbecue was running down the corners of his mouth. When Anna saw it, she took out a silk scarf and handed it to Donner with a smile.
At this time, the three of them came, and Donner looked at Theodore and said, "Miss Lislu, Lord Sir and Mr. Magician, have you had lunch? If not, would you mind together?"
Theodore bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Chief, we have lunch." ”
Donner wiped the greasy corners of his mouth and asked strangely, "So, you guys have something?"
Theodore smiled awkwardly: "That's right, at the invitation of the chief, we have spent an unforgettable feast of the gods. ”
"It's been a month now, and I wonder when we'll be able to leave Crescent Island and go back to Manhill Harbor. Miss Lislu has been gone for so long, and there is no news, Count Elinor will definitely send a warship to find her. ”
"Lord Sir, are you threatening me?" Donner's eyes narrowed.
"No, no...... No!" Theodore hurriedly shook his head and denied: "I just hope that the chief, can understand a father's anxiety about his daughter's safety." ”
Anna sat quietly on the side, although she sympathized with Lislu, but in the face of the big right and wrong, she was firmly on Donner's side, and she also believed that the wise big brother Donner would handle these things.
