Seeing that Xie Yushu insisted on doing this, Nanxing followed the order and took his grandfather and grandson to go through the formalities.
When I signed the deed of sale, I learned that the two men’s surnames were Sun, the old man was fifty-two, and his fourteenth grandson was called Sun Lang. The skill of the sugar blower was passed down from family, and there were originally a few acres of land. In order to survive in the drought years, most of them I sold it for grain, and now my family only has three houses and two acres of thin farmland.
After Nan Xing completed the deed of sale, he went home with the two men, picked up the old lady, locked the door and went directly to the villa.
Xie Yushu promised to work for ten years and teach people who can take over. They can redeem their lives and do whatever they want at that time, so they took the deed of their home with them, and entrusted the house and land to their neighbors to help take care of it.
Xie Yushu, on the other hand, went directly to the jewelry shop, bought some silver-plated materials, and returned directly to the villa.
When they arrived at the villa, the Sun family's grandfather and grandson had already arrived. Xie Yushu asked them to rest for a day and get familiar with the environment before starting work tomorrow morning. She also asked Nan Xing to take them to pick up clothes and ask Aunt Su to arrange a place for them.
Xie Yushu dived into the temporary factory to make mirrors.
Of course she couldn't do it herself. She had never done it before, and her hands were not accurate. However, she had strong verbal expression skills, so she explained the raw materials and production methods to Zheng Dacheng and Zhou Shuo.
Zhou Shuo had already returned from a good sleep and was full of energy and eager to try, so he listened to Xie Yushu's instructions while trying to make a mirror.
First, place the glass flat on a wooden frame, wipe it clean, and evenly apply the silver solution. Sprinkle the reducing solution after even application, then sprinkle a layer of resin glue, wait for it to fuse and bake to dry.
Thanks to Zhou Shuo's meticulous techniques, an hour later, the first clear and transparent mirror that could illuminate people was officially born!
When Zhou Shuo turned over the finished mirror, everyone onlookers were shocked.
“There’s really someone in this, this, this piece of glass!”
"Hey? Isn't this Master Zheng!
Is this me? "
"Yes! It's not you who is so black and white.
this is me! Emma! I am so dark too! "
"Master, this mirror is so amazing! Even the hairs on my face are clearly reflected!"
Zhou Shuo couldn't put it down after watching it
"I never thought that I, Zhou Shuo, would be able to make such magical objects in my lifetime. This trip to join the village owner is truly worth it!"
As they talked, the Suns, who had had lunch and wanted to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance, also came, as well as Nan Xing, who led them, and Xiao Haitang and Chu Jinyu, who followed to join in the fun.
As soon as the two little ones came in, they rushed to the mirror.
"Ah, this is the mirror! It shows me so clearly!"
Xiao Haitang took a look at Shoumei first, and Chu Jinyu also made a face in the mirror and said naughtily
"Mom, you are so big and so cute!"
"Yes, yes, our Jinyu is the most handsome and cutest!"
Nanxing also squeezed over to take a photo.
"Master, I think I look better than before!
This mirror is so nice! "
When Nan Xing first came here, he was dark and skinny, like an African refugee. After being raised here for a few months, his face became rounder and his skin became white. He practiced martial arts every day, and he was very energetic and his eyes were very bright. There is a god, but it doesn’t look much better!
Seeing how happy she was, Xie Yushu said:
"Then put this first mirror in the lobby of your dormitory so that you girls can look at it every day!"
When Xie Yushu said this, Xiao Haitang and Chu Jinyu also pouted and quit.
"I want too!"
"We'll have them all tomorrow! This is the first piece, and it will be placed in the hall of the girls' dormitory. When we have more done tomorrow, each person will take one piece to their own room!"
"Oh! Yeah! That's great. Master Xiaodie and Aunt Su haven't seen it yet. Let's show it to them!"
Xiao Haitang asked Xie Yushu while looking at the mirror happily.
Of course there was no problem with Xie Yushu, she just gave the instructions
"Be careful. Don't break it or hurt your hands!"
Just let them go!
Mr. and Mrs. Sun, who had just come over to familiarize themselves with the environment, were also shocked: "Such a beautiful mirror, how expensive it is!"
There is such a clear mirror under the sky, even smoother than that bronze mirror!
Owner, you bought us to make such expensive things? "
When Xie Yushu saw them all coming, she simply explained to them directly.
"I invite you to come here to make glass bottles and the like, but they are all made of the same materials you just saw.
I just want to make the glass into a barrel shape or other shapes. Some of them need to be blown out, just like you sugar blowers. When blowing, there is a blowpipe. You need to use pliers to adjust the shape while blowing!
Let me introduce to you, this is Master Zheng, and this is Master Zhou. "
Then he told Master Zheng and the others
“These two are my newly recruited Master Sun, who will be responsible for blowing various artistic cups and bottles in the future.
After a while, you two will familiarize yourself with the environment and operating procedures here.
You will work together in the future. I hope you will cooperate and help each other! "
"Don't worry, owner, we will do it!"
Several people said in unison.
With the drawings and manpower, the temporary workshop has officially entered into intense and orderly processing. Due to the small space and tight time, all staff can only work quickly. In addition to eight hours of sleep and a simple one-hour meal break at noon, Breakfast and dinner are all settled over a cup of tea.
The rest of the time is spent catching up.
In the meantime, Xie Yushu sent someone to the city to bring back the framed mirrors, and hurriedly installed ten mirrors with nanmu frames.
four days later
Master Zheng also successfully processed 200 pieces of thickened and enlarged glass, and 100 pieces of slightly thicker and smaller glass.
Sixty pieces of small glass are used by ordinary people.
Zhou Shuo also made thirty sets of retro-style plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum and longevity glass tea sets, ten sets of goblets, and twenty sets of light and luxurious water glasses.
Master Sun and his wife also made twenty sets of six types of glasses, including bird-shaped, petal-shaped, heart-shaped, strawberry-shaped, and swan-shaped, suitable for drinking juice and wine.
After the inventory was completed, Xie Yushu asked someone to notify Han Zhongyu to send someone to pick up the goods, and then directly gave the masters and workers who had been working day and night for three or four days a two-day holiday to have a good rest.
I thought Han Zhongyu would send someone to get it, but unexpectedly, he came with him. The team was led by Li Guang and his more than 20 guards, driving six large carriages.
Han Zhongyu first walked around these glass products, then looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but admire them.
"You actually made such a beautiful cup and this mirror out of that humble stone!
Don’t say it’s just me. I believe that no one would not like such crystal clear glass.
Especially these mirrors, the princesses and ladies in the palace are probably going to snatch them up! "
Xie Yushu smiled
"We have delivered the things, how we divide them is none of our business!
When you write a book, don't say that this thing is so easy to make. Look at my batch of craftsmen, their eyes are so tired that they are like rabbits. I believe that the emperor will not blame us for giving less! "
