……

"Spread it evenly in the middle, so that the thickness is not uneven, what? You won't, so change to a craftsman who usually repairs and plasters the walls of the palace. ”

Outside the boiler room.

Ning Wuxian is teaching the craftsman to put the glazed material fired into liquid in the utensils that have been prepared a long time ago to make flat glaze, which is used to observe whether the liquid glaze has reached the quality he requires.

According to the ancient process, flat glass needs to be baked out of the pot like a baking film, and then cut.

Ning Wuxian improved it, and after creating the mold, he directly made glass of different thicknesses.

But something like flat glaze, I don't know if Loulan didn't make it at all, or because the craftsmen in Jing'an City haven't seen it at all.

The craftsmen all have their own merits and different skills, and the craftsmen in charge of forging do not need to do it at all.

No way.

Ning Wuxiao saw that the finished glass product condensed into a translucent texture under the rapid cooling, and there were a lot of bubbles mixed in it, he directly shouted to stop, and asked Zhou Jingxian to tell Zhou Jingxian, and then ask some professional craftsmen to cool the glass liquid.

"Ning Shixian, you wait, I'll go back when I go!"

The errand runner was the Long Wei left by Zhou Jingxian.

As Long Wei, they generally don't want to do this kind of errand thing.

But!

When they saw that Ning Wuxian stayed up all night to make the glaze, and the transparent glaze made was not worse than the ornaments they saw in the palace, and the texture was not bad, they understood that the "new master" who was given by the county lord Xian was a powerful god.

It is also an honor to serve him.

"Wait, you take this finished product to Lord Xian, so that she won't be delayed because of other errands."

Ning Wuxian casually threw a fat gourd that had failed to blow just now to Long Wei, who was about to deliver the letter.

This fat gourd is added with more color mixing materials, and the yellow and clear are very festive, but the degree of translucency is far less than the glass color that Ning Wuxian has seen before, plus there are impurities with a frosted texture, in his eyes, it can only be regarded as a failed work.

But Long Wei had seen this kind of similar ornament in the palace and knew how much this gourd was worth.

Even Long Wei, who was following the emperor, was well-informed, and was startled by Ning Wuxian's casual throw, hurriedly opened his hands, held the glass gourd steadily, and looked at it carefully, for fear that it would be shattered just now and destroy the heavens.

"Ning Shixian, will I take this gourd and go to Lord Xian?"

From a distance, I think it's expensive.

It was extremely smooth to the touch, and Long Wei felt that it was just as precious as he thought.

Take such a glass gourd to find the county lord Xian, what if you bump it and touch it?

"Yes, let's go, I'm still waiting for the craftsmen to wipe the glass."

Ning Wuxian urged, then picked up the copper pipe, picked a pleasing mold, and prepared to blow the second glass product.

This time he picked a cornucopia.

According to his technique, of course, it is not a cornucopia with a complex image, but a cornucopia in the form of a golden water tank.

Fortunately, the master who made the mold was skilled, and the words on the mold were engraved smoothly and smoothly.

Even if Ning Wuxian's blowing technique is not very good, he still blows out a cornucopia engraved with a "cornucopia" and a lotus blooming form.

The jaws of the onlookers dropped in shock, and even Yun Fei, who had gained a lot of knowledge by his side, was taken aback, carefully touched the smooth edge of the basin, and asked uncertainly: "Childe, is this really the glass you blow?" ”

"What you saw with your own eyes, I didn't blow it, did you blow it?"

Ning Wuxiao was quite proud, and also touched a cooled cornucopia.

Although in his opinion, this smoothness is man-made, not as good as the pure natural jade, but in the eyes of other powerful people, this is a treasure.

In particular, this cornucopia with a good meaning, this large cornucopia with a diameter of two feet and a depth of two feet, should be able to sell as much gold as it can hold.

"It's a pity, this ripple makes me blow a little wrinkled, but fortunately, the water waves below coincide with it, but I can't see it, I turned around and sent it to the Ministry of Industry as an ornament, I don't know if Qin Shangshu likes it or not."

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry standing next to them, hearing this, flashed in their minds the upright-looking Qin Shangshu, who touched this cornucopia every day with nothing to do, smiling like a wealth fan.

They shrugged their shoulders and held back their laughter.

Qin Shi couldn't help but complain: "Mr. Ning, the Ministry of Industry is a place to work, if you want to gather wealth, it is more appropriate to send it to the Ministry of Households." ”

"Where does the Ministry of Household come from, that is the place of wealth, although the Ministry of Industry is a place to work, but it can also pay money, like peace wine is not to pay money, and then this glass is also taken over by the Ministry of Industry to manufacture and sell, and the money obtained is also the first to pay close to the Ministry of Industry, this cornucopia to the Ministry of Industry, just in time."

Hearing Ning Wuxian's words, the craftsmen who were still holding back their laughter just now were shocked again.

Ping'an wine is indeed supervised by the Ministry of Industry's Imperial Wine Workshop, and Tong Dou Zao received the Ministry of Industry's silver and rewards, but the income of Ping'an Wine, in addition to the expenditure for the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Industry, the balance has gone into the treasury, which is equivalent to entering the pocket of the Ministry of Households.

They thought that the Ning family would be responsible for firing the glaze, and jointly supervised the production of this thing with the Ministry of Households, but did they directly give the Ministry of Industry this right?

In this way, the value of these craftsmen who are involved in the firing of glass will definitely increase several times in the future!

Time.

There were some craftsmen who complained that they had slept for a few hours for two days and two nights, and they were in good spirits on happy occasions, so they hurriedly got into the boiler room, and then worked in full swing.

Ning Wuxian saw that the craftsmen who had slackened when they saw that there was a small success in firing the glaze, threw off their arms again and started working, and yawned with satisfaction.

No way.

Even if you have the foundation of internal breathing, you can't stay awake enough if you don't get enough sleep.

"Third brother, you stare at them to blow out the utensils on this drawing, remember, the thickness must be according to what is written on it, and call me when it is made, I will squint for a while, don't call me when Lord Xian comes, I still have to wait for these utensils to be made, and send them to Huashi."

Ning Wuxian yawned and walked into the house.

Seeing a few apprentices under the craftsman, who were carrying several large pieces of fine iron, he suddenly woke up for a while, and hurriedly called those people.

"Little masters, stop, don't move away the extra iron first, I'll keep it for a while!"

The surplus materials of the Ministry of Industry are also registered.

In other words, these apprentices would naturally ask them to ask the overseer in charge of the day first, and then go through the formalities and get the rest of the materials later.

The person who could speak was Ning Shixian, who fired the glass, and several people worked together to lift the remaining materials in front of him, and asked puzzledly: "Ning Shixian, these are all materials, although they are also fine iron, but there are many impurities in them, and there is no way to cast them into those more precise iron, if you have other molds or objects that need to be cast, it is better to ask the county lord to go to the Ministry of Industry to get some high-quality fine iron." ”
