peasant girl allure

Chapter 51

After driving for two hours, the carriage finally stopped.

Xiao Fuzi jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door. After the door opened, he continued to get on the carriage, and then drove for a while before stopping.

At this time, Xiao Fuzi's voice came in: "Master, we're here."

Shangguan Xuanyi got out of the carriage first, and Di Shaowei also jumped off, "Girl, I will carry you down."

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at his hand, and he quickly retracted it.

Xiao'er lifted the curtain of the car, Shangguan Xuanyi stretched out his hand, Xiao'er put his hand lightly on his, jumped to the ground neatly, then withdrew her hand and stood still.

Only the state officials were allowed to set fires, and the common people were not allowed to light lamps. Di Shaowei dared not speak out.

Shangguan Xuanyi felt that her hand just touched his palm and pulled it away.

At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted, "Master, Master Di, miss."

"Lead the way!" Shangguan Xuanyi said lightly.

"Yes" he bowed and made a gesture of invitation, and then led a few people forward.

Several people walked into the workshop, a wave of heat hit their faces, the fire was raging, the smoke filled the air, the workers' clothes were soaked, and everyone was sweating profusely.Xiao'er didn't even frown, and continued to walk forward, paying attention to the surrounding environment and the workers' practices while walking.

The kiln for firing colored glaze has complete tools but lacks molds. "I want to see the raw materials."

The raw materials of glass include quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc. "There is no major problem with the raw materials, and the tools are complete."

After hearing this, Di Zhaowei felt a little more balanced, "I bought these things from foreigners for 1 taels."

Xiao'er listened and gave him a look of contempt on purpose: "I was slaughtered like a fish in water! Later, I will draw some tools and molds, and you can find someone to make them out."

Di Zhaowei was hurt inside, so he squatted in a corner.

"I'll try it first and see if I can do it." Xiao'er raised her head and asked Shangguan Xuanyi, who was a lot taller than her, "Can I pick someone to help?"

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded.

Di Zhaowei said to the middle-aged man: "Guan Tong, gather people together and let Miss Xiao'er choose someone."

"No, just that person is fine." Xiao'er pointed to the person who was standing in the corner and focused on doing things. Just now she walked around and found that person was the most serious and focused, and his movements were also the most agile.

Guanshi Tong hurriedly shouted: "Lin Sheng, come here. Others should also come and have a look."

Lin Sheng touched the sweat on his face and body with the sweat towel around his neck, "What orders does Guanshi Tong have?"

"Miss Xiao'er has something to ask for your help." In fact, Guanshi Tong was very surprised that his master asked such a little girl to make colored glaze, but he also had a wink. The little girl spoke and behaved decently. He didn't show any surprise at all, but looked at everything very seriously and intently. In such a high temperature environment, he himself felt that his clothes were soaked in heat after staying for a while, but her expression remained unchanged, as if the outside world The temperature had no effect on her at all, as if she was standing in a garden as warm as spring at the moment.

Xiao'er said to him: "Uncle Lin, you will cooperate with me by my side later, and write down what I say and do by the way, can you do it?"

Lin Sheng is a person who doesn't talk much and only knows how to work hard, but he is a down-to-earth person, and he didn't boast in order to claim credit in front of his master, "I will try my best."

Xiao'er nodded, then put on the mask and gloves prepared in advance, and began to weigh the ingredients according to the recipe she remembered, "These ingredients must be prepared in a certain proportion, so that the colored glaze will be more transparent. It is more perfect. After the ingredients are prepared, grind all the ingredients, then add them together and stir evenly, and stir in the same direction when stirring.”

Manager Tong hurriedly ordered people to take out the weighed ingredients and grind them. After they were finished, Lin Sheng said, "I'll do it, girl." He was strong and stirred quickly.

Xiao'er nodded secretly, she was winking.

When he was almost done stirring, Xiao'er scooped some out with a small shovel and took a look, "It's almost like this." After speaking, he glanced at Lin Sheng again, and Lin Sheng nodded, indicating that he remembered.

Xiao'er asked people to increase the fire in the kiln. When the fire in the kiln was very strong, she could feel the scorching heat of her skin even standing one meter away, so she nodded and glanced at Lin Sheng, "This heat is for you. Feelings must be remembered, when the fire is so hot and the body feels so hot, the temperature in the kiln pool is enough, and the raw materials can be put in, and during this period, the fire must be maintained well, not weak, The fire can be bigger, but certainly not weaker."

Lin Sheng nodded, and put the raw materials in the kiln to melt them, and the open flame was heated on the glazed liquid surface.

"When the raw materials are heated at a high temperature to form a uniform and bubble-free glazed liquid, then the second step is completed. These glazed liquids must be evenly burned without any bubbles."

After a long while, Xiao'er stopped when she saw that the glass liquid in the kiln had become uniform and free of bubbles, and then glanced at Lin Sheng again: "Remember, it's just like this."

Lin Sheng glanced intently at the glass liquid inside and nodded.

"After the glass liquid is ready, it is liquid, so it can be shaped according to one's own wishes. The forming must be carried out at a certain temperature, otherwise it will not be able to be made after cooling." Xiao'er took a blowpipe and asked Lin Sheng assisted in picking out a ball of molten glass with a fireball from the kiln, quickly blowing it with a blowpipe a few times, and then putting it back into the kiln to heat. Repeated this several times, the fire glass ball continued to grow.

The people nearby didn't even blink their eyes, only to see that Xiao'er moved quickly, pinching here with pliers, pinching at another place, and cutting there with scissors again, pinching in this way, West grab it.Finally, I turned the blowpipe a few times, and saw that the red glazed ball formed a unique cup-like object with a beautiful arc and a unique shape.

"The last step is annealing. This step is very critical. If you let it cool all at once, the glazed product will easily break by itself in the future, so you need to maintain a certain temperature after making it, and then let it cool down slowly. A while, in case it breaks on its own later."

Then Xiaoer and Lin Sheng worked together to pull out a small piece of flat glass.Everyone was stunned by Xiao'er's miraculous skills. A dozen of them studied something for two months, and it was such a shock that such a young girl easily made it.

Several people left the workshop like a steam oven, and after eating, they went to the account room. Shangguan Xuanyi played with the crystal clear glass cup in his hand. It was really hard for him to believe that it was a cup that could be made just once someone mentioned it. Thinking of the girl's series of movements, they were as smooth and fast as flowing clouds and flowing water, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.Glancing at the little girl who was drinking tea, her face was still reddish from the high temperature for a long time, and she was very thin. It was hard to imagine why this thin girl had so many novel things in her mind.

"Girl, you are really amazing!" Di Shaowei has only admired Shangguan Xuanyi in his life, and now there is another one, and this one is even more evil!

If Xiao'er knew what Ju was thinking, she would definitely say that your life has just begun!
"You have also seen that it is actually quite simple, and I am born with superior comprehension!" Xiao'er deliberately showed a child's elated expression after being praised.

Both were dumbfounded by Ju's arrogance!
"Now I have made the colored glaze. Here are the detailed production methods and precautions for the colored glaze." Xiao'er took out the materials prepared last night, and Xiao Fuzi stepped forward to take them and handed them to Shangguan Xuanyi.

"Now I will draw some tools and molds, and I will make more kinds of things with colored glaze in the future."

Xiao'er took out the charcoal pencils she had prepared in advance, and Xiao Fuzi spread the paper on the table. After thinking about it for a while, she lowered her head and began to draw seriously and quickly.

After Xiao'er finished drawing the picture, they went back. When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, Shangguan Xuanyi handed Xiao'er a beautiful wooden box, but Xiao'er didn't pick it up, but just asked with her eyes.

"It's just a few books and stickers for enlightenment, for Jingrui and Jinghao."

After hearing this, Xiao'er took it over, thanked her and got out of the carriage to go home.
