Chapter 98: The Birth of Glass
Ji Yuan is his staff, Zhao Hanzhang naturally did not hide it from him, and said bluntly: "I don't want to burn porcelain, this workshop burns glass." ”
Ji Yuan reached out and plucked his ears, "What did you say to burn?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang: "Liuli!" ”
Ji Yuan: ......
He looked at Zhao Hanzhang silently and said nothing.
Zhao Hanzhang spread his hands and said, "I'm serious." ”
Ji Yuan said earnestly: "Sanniang, I'm also serious, this kind of thing is not funny." ”
Zhao Hanzhang looked at him silently.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Ji Yuan's eyes gradually widened, he opened his mouth, and it took a long time for him to ask the voice, "Sanniang knows how to burn?" ”
It can't be the recipe given by Lord Lang, he has been by Zhao Changyu's side for many years, but he has never heard him mention it.
Zhao Hanzhang: "I won't, but Fu Dalang Jun will." ”
Ji Yuan was surprised, although he doubted the authenticity of this matter, but seeing that Zhao Hanzhang was so sure, he decided to wait and see what happened.
Ji Yuan began to go to the workshop every day to squat, and even asked people to move to the workshop for official business.
He wanted to see if Fu Da Langjun really knew, or if he was casually fooling them in order to please their three mothers.
Then I saw Fu Tinghan change into a narrow sleeved fine linen clothes, which was much lighter, and climbed up and down with the craftsman directly to see the temperature.
Although he couldn't see anything.
Fu Tinghan put the broken quartz sand and limestone into the furnace to burn, the craftsman looked at it stunned, and waited until all the materials were burned before he understood, "No wonder the steward asked when he came to select people, but there are people who can make iron or burn molten iron, it turns out that this is similar to burning iron." ”
Fu Tinghan felt that his face was hot, and handed over the follow-up work to him, he stepped aside with his face flushed, and asked, "So are you experienced in iron fighting?" ”
"It's okay," said the craftsman, "my cousin is a blacksmith, and I have learned some from my grandfather before, and this kind of work will be understood after seeing a lot, and it is similar to our porcelain burning." ”
When Fu Tinghan heard this, he asked: "There is a blacksmith surnamed Lu ...... in Xiping County."
"Oh, he's my cousin, Da Langjun has seen it?"
Fu Tinghan nodded, "I saw it in Xiping County a few days ago. ”
The material in the furnace turned into water, Fu Tinghan was not very skilled in rolling a ball of glass water with an iron pipe made in advance, took it out, put it on the rotating frame and blows while spinning, and the fiery yellow glass water slowly expands and becomes transparent......
Ji Yuan couldn't help but put down the affairs in his hand and walked up to take a look.
Fu Tinghan blew for a while, and after the glass water was a little cold, he returned to the edge of the furnace with the iron pipe, put the blown glass ball into the furnace, dipped it in enough glass water, and then pulled it out, and continued to blow ......
The glass balls swelled more and more, and finally stopped after being the size of a small vase.
Fu Tinghan felt very tired, he looked at the glass bottle at the end of the iron pipe, and felt that he couldn't blow it down, so he went back with the iron pipe and put it on another kiln, let the fire burn the bottom of the glass bottle, he clumsily smoothed the glass bottle, and then cut off the glass mouth connected to the iron pipe evenly......
Wait for the glass to be cold-cut, and the bottle is formed.
Everyone in the workshop stared at the glass bottle in a daze.
Fu Tinghan also looked at it blankly, the bottom of the glass bottle was round, the round was uneven, and it was a little curved, just like a standing person had a stomachache, so he bent over to cover his stomach.
His face was a little red, he didn't expect the glass made after missing some utensils, he hurriedly said to Ji Yuan: "I'll break it, blow it again." ”
After that, he was about to smash the glass bottle, Ji Yuan grabbed him, and stared at the transparent glass bottle tightly, "No, it can't be broken, this is an excellent bottle!" ”
Fu Tinghan: ...... Are the aesthetics of the people of the Jin Dynasty so distorted?
Ji Yuan stared at the glass bottle with bright eyes, and repeatedly confirmed, "It's really the same as the glass, it can hold liquid, and it won't leak?" ”
"Although it looks ugly, there will be no problem with the performance," Fu Tinghan is still confident in this, "When it is completely cold, Mr. Ji can hold water and try it." ”
The glass was cut quickly, Ji Yuan cautiously approached, put his finger into the mouth of the bottle, and clearly saw the fingers in the bottle outside, and the onlookers let out an exclamation in unison.
Ji Yuan was also amazed, he turned his head and looked at Fu Tinghan with sparkling eyes and said, "Fu Dalang Jun is talented." ”
Fu Tinghan said modestly: "Don't dare to be." ”
"Dare to be, dare to be," Ji Yuan held his hand with both hands, looking excited, "Lord Lang and Sanniang really have a unique vision, Da Langjun is an excellent person." ”
Such a baby is made when it is said to be made, and it is still made in Sanniang's workshop.
Ji Yuan had a lot of thoughts in his brain at this moment, and he couldn't wait to go back to Zhao Hanzhang with this non-glass bottle immediately.
But at this time, there was still glass of water in the furnace, and he wanted to see the process of making glass again, so he barely held back.
Fu Tinghan also wanted to try again, of course, not only him, but also the craftsmen, after all, these were mainly done by them.
Fu Tinghan's manual ability is average, but he has rich theoretical knowledge, and he is very average in his own work, but he can guide people.
The three craftsmen blew a few glasses under his direction, and there were all kinds of strange things, but after a few times they blew better than him.
Despite this, it was still not very good-looking, so Fu Tinghan simply asked them to cut the glass after blowing, melt it again and flatten it again, and make it into a smooth glass mirror.
Fu Tinghan got the flat glass mirror, shook his head after taking a photo, "The ratio is wrong, the clarity is not enough, you have to change the formula to make the glass mirror." ”
Ji Yuan humbly asked, "Is this recipe difficult to change?" ”
Fu Tinghan thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be very difficult, I'll try it later, but now it's also a difficult thing to blow glass, it's difficult to form, it seems that you need a mold." ”
He frowned, "But to make a glass mold, you have to use steel, and you have to add copper, chromium and tin to cast iron......"
Ji Yuan only understood copper, "Do you need a lot of copper?" ”
Fu Tinghan shook his head, "Not much, just making molds." ”
The craftsman on the side couldn't help but say, "Why don't Lang Jun try porcelain?" ”
Fu Tinghan: "The temperature of glass water and porcelain is similar, and the porcelain is afraid that it will not be able to withstand the high temperature of glass water. ”
This is the reason why he and Zhao Hanzhang want to burn porcelain craftsmen, the melting temperature of the two is about the same, what they lack is the craftsmanship of the kiln, and blacksmiths are rare, they only have the ability to invite porcelain craftsmen.
The craftsmen were very confident, especially the porcelain craftsmen, "Try it, what if it is done?" ”
Fu Tinghan thought about it too, so he asked people to bring porcelain cups and bowls.
Ji Yuan watched as they gathered together, carefully pouring out a glass and a glass bowl.
His eyes widened, but Fu Tinghan was not very satisfied with the cups and bowls, "It's not very good-looking, you can think of printing patterns on it, or changing colors." ”
The craftsmen agreed, "Yes, this mold still needs to be pondered." ”
Ji Yuan: ...... He thought it was already good, and with this hand, he could already see the gold and silver flying towards him.
