The glass making plan is in full swing.
The first batch of sand and gravel was transported to Qin Shuihan's tool room.
Looking at the bags of sand, Lin Yi ordered: "First grind the sand into powder, then add lime and melt it in the furnace."
Qiu Qiansong looked at her curiously. This rumored new princess also liked tinkering with things.
He glanced at Qin Shuihan again, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and a calm gaze. This doting look seemed to have happened a long, long time ago.
Qiu Qiansong stroked his beard. He remembered that the former princess had this expression when she was still alive.
From a certain perspective, the prince is also very dedicated and likes women who mess with things.
But if this is the case, the eldest lady of the Nangong family seems to be very violent. I heard that she built a carriage that can shoot hidden weapons.
Qiu Qiansong touched his eyebrows again. Women are not inferior to men. Women these days like to play with these things.
Lin Yi held Qin Shuihan's arm and looked at the workers grinding sand and gravel with stone mortars, always feeling a little strange.
"Shui Han, isn't there a way to use animals to grind it? Does a donkey know how to grind tofu? How about using it to grind sand?"
Looking at the row of workers, Qin Shuihan also felt that these methods were a bit slow, so he discussed grinding methods with Qiu Qiansong.
"My lord, it's not difficult to grind it. However, I haven't understood what the princess wants yet. Why don't we see if we can burn what the princess wants?"
Qin Shuihan took a sip of tea and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, doubting Yiyi, so he would show her Yiyi's determination.
"Mr. Qiu, let's make a bet."
Qiu Qiansong's beard stood up.
"Okay! Your Majesty, it's settled! I want Wang Meng's calligraphy and painting."
Qin Shuihan raised his eyebrows, it was just Wang Meng's calligraphy and painting, a trivial matter.
"Then it's a deal. If Yiyi can practice what she wants, you can make a top-notch hidden weapon."
Qiu Qiansong looked at him suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, do you want to wear peacock feathers?"
"Just tinker with whatever you want."
Qin Shuihan put down his teacup and walked out, leaving Qiu Qiansong in a state of confusion.
The prince is deceitful!
Lin Yi walked around the Shagang Furnace again.
After all, it was ancient times and there were no advanced instruments. By the time the workers had finished grinding the sand, two hours had passed.
Lin Yi sighed. She knew that there would definitely be a steady stream of questions waiting for her when it came to actual operation.
But you must have a good attitude, what you want to make is modern items!
She took a few deep breaths, walked to the workers and directed: "Mix the powder and lime, mix them in a ratio of four to one and put them into the furnace."
The workers immediately took action according to her instructions.
Lin Yi wrote down the mixing ratio and walked to the iron furnace again.
I saw some other workers constantly adding fuel.
After a long time, the sand in the container was still the same, without any change.
Lin Yi remembered that adding some sodium carbonate could effectively lower the melting point. Could it be that the ratio was wrong or that he had remembered it wrong?
Looking at the blazing fire, she felt a little restless.
Mixtures of different proportions were then tried.
The result is still the same.
The sand is still the same sand, with no sign of melting.
Qin Shuihan couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled her sadly. Yiyi had only eaten a few mouthfuls after working hard all day. How could she continue like this?
"Yiyi, it's getting late, why don't you go back today and come back tomorrow."
Lin Yi looked at the moon hanging in the sky with a sad face, and she nodded reluctantly.
I must have made a mistake somewhere. Wasn't that silica sand?
Or is there something wrong with those limes?
She climbed into the carriage without saying a word, thinking hard about the manufacturing process.
Qin Shuihan held her in his arms, he just wanted her to be happy.
"Yiyi, don't rush everything."
Lin Yi closed her eyes and rubbed his chest.
He's great to have around!
Lin Yi suddenly resurrected with full blood.
I can't be discouraged. Compared with those great men, I have only tried for one day. It can't be called hard work at all. Let's fight again tomorrow!
"Shui Han, can Lei Qing send me here tomorrow? You are busy with your work, so you don't have to accompany me. What I want to do will not be made so quickly, but I will not waste the fruits of their labor. I must make it Glass!"
Qin Shuihan smiled slightly, this was his Yiyi, he knew her so well, as long as she wanted to do something, it seemed that even ten cows couldn't pull her back.
"Don't be anxious, take your time, I believe you."
But what exactly is that "glass", Qin Shuihan is looking forward to it more and more.
For two consecutive days, Lin Yi went out early and came back late.
Although she tried several more formulas, the sand was still scattered in the container without any change.
Early that morning, Lin Yi got up early as usual to go to the tool shed in the suburbs, but Leng Fang looked like he was hesitant to speak.
"Leng Fang, what's wrong?"
Leng Fang shook her head and got into the carriage with Bi Yue.
Lin Yi lowered his eyes. He went to see Leng Bin together just now. His legs and feet were recovering well and there was nothing abnormal.
But since Leng Fang didn't say anything, she didn't ask any more questions.
It was no longer snowing in Beijing in mid-January, and it seemed that the worst cold period had passed.
Lin Yi opened the car curtain and saw that the snow on the eaves on both sides of the road was getting thinner and thinner.
She looked at the porch of the ancient deep courtyard house, and she never got tired of it.
The things called corbels on the eaves pillars would amaze her every time she looked at them.
The hollow carvings, fine carvings, and full three-dimensionality make the characters lifelike and vivid on the paper.
The sunshine today seems to be very gentle.
Lin Yi closed her eyes, hoping for some progress in today's glass making.
When I opened my eyes again, the word wood flashed in my mind.
Wood, parallel bars? !
Today is the day when the carpenter comes to the house to install it!
"Biyue, ask Lei Qing to stop the car! Let's go back to the house first!"
Biyue didn't know why, but she quickly stopped Lei Qing.
Lin Yi smiled at Leng Fang.
"Today is the day when the carpenter comes to install the parallel bars. I've been so busy lately that I forgot. Why didn't you remind me?"
"princess…"
Although Lin Yi hopes to quickly solve the problems encountered in making glass, she always feels that she is a doctor, and it is her job to save lives and heal the wounded.
The carriage turned back to Prince Han's Mansion, and happened to meet the carpenter walking over with a shelf.
Butler Wu had already sent two young men to lead them into the house, and they would also give the carpenter a hand from time to time.
He is indeed the most powerful carpenter in the capital. Not only did he understand Lin Yi's meaning perfectly, he also made load-bearing corbels at the right-angle junction.
If you look carefully, you can see that there are patterns carved on it.
Although it is just a simple parallel bar, it goes beyond parallel bars.
Watching the carpenters fixing the parallel bars in the house, Lin Yi felt a sense of accomplishment. If this set of things could be perfectly preserved to modern times, it would shock many archaeologists and doctors!
"Leng Bin, we will start practicing today."
Lin Yi's voice was high-pitched, and every word was filled with joy.
Biyue and Leng Fang looked at each other. Although it was indeed a joyful thing for Leng Bin's treatment to enter the next stage, why was the princess so excited?
Lin Yi carefully determined Leng Bin's wound. It took ten days to recover like this. Maybe it was because of his excellent medical skills and good stitches.
She pursed her lips in dismay.
At this time, Qin Shuihan had just returned home and was startled when he saw Lei Qing's carriage. Yiyi didn't go to the tool room?
It seems that she has been exhausted these past few days and is probably resting in Jinghan Pavilion.
He changed out of his court clothes and immediately walked to Lin Yi's bedroom.
Yiyi isn't here?
"Suzuland, where is the princess?"
"Reporting to the prince, the princess is in Guard Leng's room."
Qin Shuihan thought for a moment and immediately rushed to the guest room.
When I saw the servant in the house leading two men dressed as carpenters, I suddenly remembered that this was the recovery that Yiyi had mentioned before.
Seeing Qin Shuihan, Lin Yi jumped to his side like a little rabbit.
In the past few days, except for meeting him at night, the two of them had no chance to meet during the day.
"you are back?"
Qin Shuihan saw her smiling face and pinched her little face unconsciously.
"There are so many people!"
Lin Yi snarled, made a ugly face, turned around and picked up the crutch next to the screen.
"Give!"
Leng Bin took the crutches and looked at them again and again. The two sticks handed over by the princess were really weird in shape.
He held the crutch across his hand, wondering whether he should get down on the ground.
Lin Yi's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief, but then she thought, they had never seen this thing before, so they had to take it over and demonstrate it to him.
But it was originally built according to Leng Bin's height, and the crutches were too tall for her.
Everyone's eyes widened as they waited for her instructions.
Seeing their expectant expressions, Lin Yi frowned and nuzzled at Qin Shuihan.
"Come here and demonstrate."
Qin Shuihan was also very curious about how to use this crutch, so he immediately walked over.
I saw Lin Yi putting the crutch under Qin Shuihan's armpit. Unfortunately, he was too tall, as if he was holding two toys.
"You, squat down."
Qin Shuihan obediently squatted down to the height indicated by Lin Yi, with the crutches just supporting his shoulders.
It turns out that it doesn't require the strength of the wrist to hold up the body. I didn't expect such a simple stand to have such a mystery.
Leng Bin nodded in realization. He took the crutches and tried to push himself up.
"Come on, slowly move to the parallel bars, hold on to the parallel bars and try to walk. Put your strength on the soles of your front feet."
Leng Bin slowly moved over. He grabbed the parallel bars and moved slowly. Big drops of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Every step taken is indescribably difficult.
But he wants to walk! Want to stand up!
Leng Bin moved back and forth with great effort, making everyone around him sweat for him.
"stop!"
Lin Yi swallowed hard.
Of all the people, she was the most nervous, and her heart was in her throat with every small step Leng Bin took.
Lin Yi patted Leng Bin on the shoulder.
"Today's amount is enough! Haste makes waste, walking is a step-by-step process. You practice three times a day. One round trip today is enough, and one round trip tomorrow. After three days, increase it to two round trips, and so on. etc. Hold on for ten rounds and I will teach you the next step of training."
Leng Bin nodded vigorously, he believed Lin Yi.
Lin Yi knew that he was a very strong-willed person, but was afraid that he would be too impatient, so he added: "You must do what I say and don't be impatient. If the hamstring is broken, I won't be able to connect it." Oh."
She glanced at Leng Fang again, thinking that this sister would definitely supervise her younger brother strictly.
Sure enough, Leng Fang nodded immediately.
Afterwards, Qin Shuihan accompanied Lin Yi back to Jinghan Pavilion.
"Yiyi, how did you measure Leng Bin's height?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly and picked up a gauze scarf.
She spread her hands, fixed it with one hand, adjusted the length of the gauze scarf with the other hand, and tied a knot at the other end of the gauze scarf and handed it to Qin Shuihan.
"Look at the length of the two knots, which is the distance between my arms. Is that my height?"
Qin Shuihan made some gestures and realized that she was really tall. He couldn't help but feel that it was very magical.
He also tried to make a gesture himself, and sure enough, the distance between his two arms was the same as his height.
"Yiyi, how did you find out?"
She smiled and teased him.
"Touch your body while you are sleeping and find out the patterns."
Qin Shuihan froze in place, touching his body while he was sleeping?
when?
Why didn't you notice it when you touched yourself?
Seeing Lin Yi lowering her head and trying to suppress a smile, she suddenly realized that she was teasing him.
He hugged her slender waist and tickled her, laughing until Lin Yi was out of breath and kept begging for mercy.
"Are you kidding me next time?"
"I don't dare, haha... I don't dare! Haha, I was wrong..."
"Kiss."
Lin Yi gasped and pecked quickly.
"Not sincere."
Lin Yi stared at him aggrievedly, obviously sincere!
But Qin Shuihan stared at her and pointed at his lips.
Lin Yi had no choice but to stand on tiptoes and kiss him.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Qin Shuihan immediately turned his back and kissed Lin Yi until his whole body went weak.
"Don't... I have to... rush to the tool room now..."
Lin Yi panted slightly and buried her head in his arms.
Qin Shuihan took a few deep breaths and tried hard to suppress his desire. He had no idea at first, but he couldn't help himself, but now he really wanted to hold her and have fun.
"I go with you."
Lin Yi shook his head.
"Bi Yue and the others can just accompany me. They spend too much time on the road. You can't help much by going there. All you can do is waste your time. Be good!"
Although Qin Shuihan was reluctant to give up, what Lin Yi said was indeed reasonable. He couldn't help, and there were indeed many official matters to deal with.
In the end, one of them went to the study and the other rushed to the tool room to continue their busy day.
