Chapter 140: Liquid Glass
Hu Changan waved his hand, and Wang Qing was dragged down by a group of guards.
When the other craftsmen saw this, they were immediately silent.
Young Master Hu is really ruthless now.
Don't dare to offend, don't dare to offend.
They are different from Wang Qing, Wang Qing was only hired by Hu Changan, and they were all bought by Hu Changan from the tooth shop.
If they did the same thing as Wang Qing, it would not be as simple as being dragged out.
Hu Changan looked at everyone's worried looks, and also smiled slightly.
It seems that he has completely established his authority among these craftsmen.
As the saying goes, give a slap to a sweet date, and next, it's time to give a sweet date.
Hu Changan cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Everyone, although there are many rules in my glass workshop, as long as you are willing to learn and endure hardships, the benefits are indispensable to you." ”
"The basic monthly money here is two taels of silver."
"And in the first half a year of the new workshop, for every glass product you make, I will reward you with half a penny!"
Although Hu Changan's reward is rich, it is not without his reason.
These craftsmen are all newcomers and have to learn everything from scratch.
Without the guidance of Wang Qing, a master, they can only learn by reading the tutorials provided by Hu Changan, which is obviously much more difficult than learning from real people.
At the initial stage, Hu Changan could already predict what a difficult situation these craftsmen would face.
So, the necessary monetary incentives are a must.
Hu Chang'an believes that with the encouragement of money, the pain of these craftsmen will be greatly reduced.
After listening to Hu Changan's words, those craftsmen were all red with excitement.
To make one piece of glassware is half a piece of silver, and to make two pieces of glassware is one or two pieces of silver!
Half a month's salary!
These two pieces of silver can definitely make their lives a lot more moisturized!
All the craftsmen are happy to think of a bright future.
However, Hu Changan poured a scoop of cold water on them at this time: "At the beginning stage of the new workshop, you must have to work harder." ”
"After all, this glass making is a new technology, and you still have to work hard to learn it."
"Although I will provide you with books here and assign someone to explain it, the learning process is still very hard."
As soon as Hu Changan's words fell, the worker below raised his hand: "Hu Gongzi, don't worry, no matter how hard and tiring this work is, it can't be compared to when we opened up the wasteland in Yaxing before." I didn't eat or wear. ”
"Now we have food and clothing, and we have such a generous monthly income, no matter how hard and tired we are, we can survive!"
"That's it," another craftsman on the side listened, and also agreed, "I can't do anything else, I will suffer hardship, don't worry, I will honestly complete the task you have assigned!" ”
After hearing this, everyone also expressed their determination.
Hu Changan looked at the excitement of everyone, and his heart was also warm.
The working people of ancient times were simple.
Just like a weed, as long as it is given enough sunlight and rain, it can thrive.
These laborers don't ask for much, nothing more than food and clothing.
As long as they are given a little encouragement, these hard-working people will work tirelessly!
Hu Changan calmed down and said to everyone: "Everyone is determined, very good!" As long as you work hard, I, Hu Changan, will never treat you badly! ”
When everyone heard this, they also responded one after another.
After talking for a while, Hu Changan estimated that the temperature of the glass solution had almost dropped, so he hurriedly instructed the people around him: "Go, help me use the long spoon over there to scoop a spoonful of glass solution and pour it on this iron table, you must be careful!" ”
"Yes!" The craftsman on the side listened to the order and hurriedly picked up the long spoon according to Hu Changan's instructions.
This long spoon and iron platform were specially made by Hu Changan in the iron workshop of the Ministry of Industry.
Only iron can hold this hot glass solution without melting.
The reason why Hu Changan gave up this demonstration opportunity to the worker was purely because his strength was too small.
This original body is a serious son, and he has never done any heavy work at all.
And Hu Changan, as a modern otaku, does not have a good habit of exercising.
Compared with these workers who work all year round, Hu Changan's small arms and legs are definitely not enough.
So in order to avoid a tragedy caused by a failure to hold steady, Hu Changan decided to watch by himself.
After a while, the worker poured hot liquid glass onto the iron platform.
At this time, the liquid glass is still red, and the temperature is amazing.
At this time, it is also the best time to shape the glass.
Hu Changan hurriedly took a few flat pieces of iron from the side and said to everyone: "Quick, come over and take this piece of iron, and spread this molten glass evenly on this iron platform." ”
Because iron conducts heat, Hu Changan deliberately installed a wooden handle on the iron, so that those craftsmen could hold the iron smoothly.
And before entering the workshop, Hu Changan specially gave everyone a preventive shot, saying that the temperature inside would be very high, and told them to wear it tightly to avoid being burned.
Therefore, these craftsmen, one by one, wear them tightly, and it can be said that they have achieved the ultimate in protection.
After listening to Hu Changan's words, the craftsmen hurriedly held the iron block and began to smooth the molten glass on the iron platform.
This liquid glass lays sound very difficult, but in fact, it is not difficult to operate, just like spreading pancakes, as long as the liquid glass is evenly spread with iron, it is all over.
After a while, Hu Changan saw that the thickness of the liquid glass was almost the same, so he stopped the craftsmen.
Next, just wait for the hot liquid glass to cool down.
Seeing that there was still a lot of liquid glass in the pool, Hu Changan ordered the craftsmen to concoct it in the same way.
Fortunately, Hu Changan hit five iron platforms in one go, and he didn't worry that the place could not be spread.
So after a while, the liquid glass in the pool bottomed out.
Seeing that the work was almost done, Hu Changan led everyone to quit the steaming glass workshop and came outside to rest for a while, waiting for the glass to cool down.
In the courtyard, Hu Changan specially prepared a few small benches and a few pots of hot tea for all the workers.
In between waiting, these artisans can get acquainted with each other over tea and chatting.
After all, they will all be colleagues who will fight side by side in the future, so it is natural to get to know each other well.
And Hu Changan also sat on the top, accepting the service of the maids.
After a toss just now, Hu Changan, an industrious otaku, was indeed tired, and he had to rest for a while.
