Chapter 141 Transportation
After resting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Hu Changan led everyone into the glass workshop.
At this time, the temperature of the glass has dropped.
The liquid glass, which originally felt like a puddle of soft dough, became thin and crispy.
The color has also changed from the original dark red to a faint transparent light gray.
Although Hu Changan has tried his best to follow the recipe provided by the system, due to limited technology, the glass made is still slightly behind the modern transparent and colorless glass.
And because the glass is not machine-polished, but pushed out by hand, some uneven traces can still be seen in the details.
But in the eyes of the ancients, this is still amazing enough.
Everyone was looking left and right around the glass on the five tables, and they were amazed.
Since Hu Changan had already told them in advance that the glass was easy to break, they didn't play with it, but just stood by and watched.
But even so, everyone was amazed.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a translucent material!
Through the glass, everyone could clearly see the color of the iron table below.
Even the patterns on the iron platform, they can see clearly through the glass, which is simply magical!
They could already imagine how amazing it would be when the glass was made into an object!
Everyone watched for a long time, and finally dispersed reluctantly under the urging of Hu Changan.
Next, it's time to cut the big pieces of glass.
Hu Changan took out the diamond in his arms and prepared to start working.
A long time ago, the ancient working people invented the diamond that could cut porcelain.
As the old saying goes, you can't do porcelain work without diamonds.
This ancient saying is actually about an ancient folk craft, curium porcelain.
Curium porcelain is to curry up broken porcelain pieces piece by piece to achieve the effect of repair.
In the craft of curium porcelain, diamond diamonds are indispensable.
In ancient times, the technology was not very developed, and the polishing of the diamond drill bit could only rely on the rope, which was very laborious to grind little by little.
Under normal circumstances, it even takes a year or two to successfully produce a diamond.
However, with this diamond, you can use it to do porcelain work for a lifetime, so it is still worth it.
The diamond used in curium porcelain is also one of the few tools that can cut glass.
Hu Changan also ran all over Yingtian City before spending a lot of money from an old craftsman to buy this diamond.
The old craftsman was about to retire, and the child was still young, so much money was enough for him to grind another diamond.
Hu Changan ordered someone to bring a ruler and patiently cut the glass.
Hu Changan's movements were extraordinarily careful.
If you cut it all at once, everything you did before will be in vain!
The glass cut out by Hu Changan is not too big.
Although Hu Changan also wanted to make a magnificent floor-to-ceiling window, Hu Changan still gave up this plan due to technical reasons.
If one accidentally smashed the glass during installation, Hu Changan would really have no place to cry.
Hu Changan was very careful.
The other craftsmen also gathered around Hu Changan and quietly watched him operate.
Finally, the glass cut is complete!
Hu Changan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Changan looked at everyone and asked, "Do you understand?" ”
"Got it!" The craftsmen replied in unison.
So Hu Changan signaled the workers to get started on their own.
After discussing for a while, a short worker was selected to start the operation.
The worker is said to have helped his mother with needlework at home, and he is more careful with his hands.
So with the efforts of everyone, the glass that had just been made was cut into small square pieces.
Of course, Hu Changan didn't throw away the leftovers.
With a little processing, these leftovers can be made into small portable mirrors.
In Daming, many women have the habit of carrying mirrors to tidy up their appearance.
Hu Changan believes that if a portable mirror made of glass can be launched, it will definitely sell well!
Now that the glass used to make the windows has been made, the next step is to ship.
Although the glass workshop is not too far from Hu Changan's newly bought shop, transportation is inevitably involved on the road.
Hu Changan didn't want the glass to become a pile of slag when it arrived in the shop.
So Hu Changan ordered the workers to carefully wrap the cut glass with the straw prepared before.
In ancient times, there was no foam plastic as convenient as in modern times, so Hu Changan could only order someone to wrap these glasses in straw.
At least that's better than nothing.
Everyone, under Hu Changan's instructions, was in full swing.
In a few moments, all the glass was tightly wrapped in straw.
Outside the straw, careful workers also wrapped several loops of rope to prevent the straw from scattering.
Looking at the achievements of the workers, Hu Changan also nodded with satisfaction.
Next, it's time for shipping.
Hu Changan cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Everyone, I'm really embarrassed. ”
"The glass is really fragile, and I really don't dare to transport it in a horse-drawn cart to prevent it from breaking."
"Please take care of the glass and take it directly to my shop."
"Anyway, my shop is on the edge of the Qinhuai River, and it's not too far from here."
After everyone listened, naturally there was no objection.
After all, Hu Changan is the owner, and as a worker, he naturally has to do his best to meet such a small request.
What's more, they don't want the glass they worked so hard to make to break on the road for strange reasons.
So, Hu Changan led a group of workers and set off in a mighty way.
Passing by the streets, everyone looked sideways.
Who is this, why do they all walk with straw in their arms?
But after all, the road is on one side of the road, as long as Hu Changan is not in the way, it is difficult for everyone to say anything.
Under the surprised eyes of the onlookers, Hu Changan and his party finally walked to the new shop.
When they came to the shop, the workers hurriedly put the straw bales in their arms on the ground in the yard carefully.
It didn't look like glass, it looked like a bomb.
Seeing this, Hu Changan also laughed.
But the good thing is that caution pays off.
Not a single piece of glass of all the glass shattered on the road!
Hu Changan looked at the straw bales all over the ground, and was very satisfied.
Next, it's time for him to show off his skills and surprise everyone!
Hu Changan bets that when the renovation of his shop is completed, it will definitely be the brightest star in Yingtian City!
