The old farmer and the bookkeeper sat leisurely next to the crowd, drinking tea slowly, occasionally looking at the sky with faint smoke pillars in the distance, and chatting wordlessly amidst the chaotic arguments around them. .
The two of them didn't know much about the new blast furnace shown in the picture, and the new smelting method was even more confusing. Seeing the blacksmiths, bricklayers, and even construction workers arguing fiercely, the two of them had no choice but to retreat. To one side, if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. On this point, the two of them are much smarter than those who pretend to understand...
When talking about Yanzhu, Xiao Han will naturally be mentioned. Both of them are mature and mature, so they naturally know that Xiao Han should be doing something big, and they have no grudges about their boss transferring them away.
After all, their time here is too short, and trust takes time to develop!
If Xiao Han unconditionally believed in these people from the beginning, then they would have to think carefully about whether they would starve to death in the future if they followed these two hundred and fifty gangsters...
Even if they don't starve to death, when these two hundred and five family heads are murdered and their families are slaughtered, I don't know if the executioner will count their heads together...
Except for the craftsmen who were immersed in the drawings, almost everyone was waiting for Xiao Han to come out. At this moment, the small kiln built against the mountain was not as mysterious as others imagined.
The fire kiln was basically dug out of a mountain nest. It was chosen here for reasons of strength and privacy.
Of course, looking at it now, both of these are very successful. In terms of privacy alone, the only thing that can be seen here is the path guarded by the fat chef and Butler Lu.
Others, even if they stood on the mountain and looked down, could not see a trace of the small kiln.
People outside looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, but Xiao Han inside was lying leisurely on the open space beside the kiln, with a piece of green grass in his mouth, and while licking the vague sweetness, He crossed his legs and watched Xiaodong and Lengzi pulling the bellows desperately.
"Eleven, what time is it?!"
Zhang Qiang asked Xiao Shiyi for the twentieth time.
Xiao Shiyi stopped recording, looked at the sundial specially placed aside again, raised his head and said to Zhang Qiang, "Uncle Zhang, it's almost an hour!"
Zhang Qiang nodded his head irritably, turned to Xiao Han anxiously, sat down on the ground, and said to Xiao Han: "Hey, Xiao Han, it's been almost an hour, and you haven't gotten up to take a look. The heat keeps burning like this, can it be done?"
"Pooh……"
Xiao Han sprayed the green grass far away from his mouth in one gulp, and looked at Zhang Qiang with dissatisfaction: "Can it still be done? Remove that "?"! Crow's mouth! And, brother, I beg you, can you stop turning around? , my head almost feels dizzy! How do I check the heat?"
"Are you blaming me? I'm not nervous for you!"
Zhang Qiang was a little annoyed. Why did this man bite Lu Dongbin and not recognize a good heart?
"It's not like you don't know the current situation! The Ministry of Revenue said that Shibi Khan was jealous of Xue Ju's large territory on the grassland and was mobilizing troops. Fortunately, your majesty responded quickly and collected a large sum of wealth for King Qin to send over. .
Now even the money you spent to build the Hou Mansion has been sent to you! We live in such a dilapidated wooden house every day. Is this playing house? Also, what about the house you promised your family? There aren’t even any tiles now, aren’t you in a hurry? "
"I'm anxious!" Xiao Han covered his ears and sat up impatiently, looked at the closed kiln door, and spread his hands: "But there's no use being anxious. You didn't look at me. Why don't you think of it now?" Is there a solution! By the way, do you think we can sell the colored glaze we produced? You haven’t seen that person from the Ministry of Revenue. He wears official uniforms with pudding. I heard him say that the treasury is now clean. It’s cleaner than Zhuque Street! When the time comes, who will we sell to?”
"Who are you selling it to? You really think you are nothing. From the beginning to now, you have been sleeping. When I saw it, you burned a pile of rags. No one cares if you gave it away for free!"
Zhang Qiang hates Xiao Han for talking nonsense like this. Although facts have proven that every time his big words come true, as everyone knows, this is even more annoying, because he always seems to be the only smart person in the world, and everyone else is as smart as him. Like a fool...
Staring at Xiao Han angrily, Zhang Qiang stood up and patted his butt, without even glancing at Xiao Han: "You'd better do it first before talking about this... Liuli, there aren't many in the palace, just get some sand and burn it , just burned the glaze, do you think this is for beggar chicken? Why don’t you just burn some money for such a great skill..."
Xiao Han chuckled and was not prepared to answer Zhang Qiang's question. The results were about to be produced anyway, so why waste more words?
He didn't speak, and Zhang Qiang had no interest in talking alone. Soon there were only the sounds of two coolies desperately pulling the bellows. The Marquis said that he couldn't even pull the bellows well. He should stop eating meat this year...in order to be able to eat. Meat, it's worth it for both of them to be tired...
A whirlwind blew in from the opposite direction, bringing a touch of coolness to this sweltering place.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Xiao Han stood up, with a trace of nervousness on his face. It was time for the results to come out. Whether the uncle will eat meat or drink wind depends on today!
In fact, Xiao Han only heard about burning glass from stories in previous textbooks. However, the Phoenicians were able to make glass more than a thousand years ago. There is no reason why they can't make it now!
After walking around the kiln, the kiln body is now faintly glowing red, and the place where the coal is added is even more fiery red, and even the air is distorting!
He didn't know how long the glass should be burned. Now his furnace didn't blow oxygen, and there was no thermometer. God knew what temperature it could reach inside.
Glass does not have a fixed melting point. Based on the principle of caution, there is no harm in burning it for a while!
Xiao Han turned around twice, Zhang Qiang followed twice, and the two coolies eagerly chased him twice with their eyes...
Finally looking at the red kiln body, Xiao Han finally shouted to Xiaodong: "Xiaodong, idiot, stop it. Open the kiln door and see if it works. From now on, you can eat or drink." Feng, it depends on this time!”
"Okay~"
When the fool Xiaodong heard this, he almost burst into tears. He was finally liberated. This work was more tiring than an ox. It was simply not done by humans...
As soon as Xiao Han finished speaking, the two of them quickly threw away the lever of the bellows, stood up from the ground with difficulty, and prepared to open the kiln.
"Xiao Han, the temperature is so high, don't you need to wait?" Zhang Qiang has experience after all. When he saw that the kiln had to be opened, he quickly came over to stop Xiao Han and asked, if the kiln is opened at such a high temperature, are you not afraid of exploding?
Xiao Han's heart was beating fast now, and his mind was eager to know the situation in the kiln, but in front of Zhang Qiang, he still pretended to be confident: "It's okay, this is not porcelain, it can't be exploded!"
