Villager of Daming

Chapter 75 Simple Operation Don't Feel Melancholy (Part [-])
The village saves part of the first batch of glass for Hanhan, and makes the rest into containers for collection.

The head of the village specially asked people to make a bunch of incense burners, which were to be placed in the sacrificial hall, and replaced if they were broken.

For everyone, the first furnace of colored glaze is the most expensive, which means that the village can burn colored glaze from now on.

In the eyes of the villagers, he was dazed, muttering, and occasionally ran into the mountain temple to write, and he went back to his home to write and walked more.

Zhu Wentian has heard a few mumbling words from Li Chang, why cry this year when offering sacrifices to ancestors, and what to say when crying...

After application, Zhu Taisan and Zhu Taisi were approved to watch in the glass kiln. The two of them looked around, looking for someone.

According to what the two of them thought, on such a grand day, the hermit should watch in person.

who is it?Who is looking anxious?who is it?Who is looking forward to it?who is it?Who is stamping and wandering?

It's Hanhan, Hanhan is most concerned about this kiln.Um!It's not him, get rid of it, and find another one.

While looking for two people to record the time, they found that this kiln was different. The pedal blower was always running, so the kiln must be very hot.

If it is so hot and replaced with another kiln, even the one that burns porcelain should be broken, but the kiln in front of me is still fine.

Zhu Taisan and Zhu Taisi, who didn't know how to burn glass and lower the melting temperature of quartz, were very entangled. They were also literate, but unfortunately no one taught them this.

The villagers also don't know the principle, anyway, it's right to operate according to the situation and method told by Hanhan.

In this way, before dinner at night, you can get new glazed water.

Only Zhu Wentian understood that when he looked at the kiln, kaolin refractory bricks were used to burn glass. If no additional things were added, then the glass would be useless after the kiln was fired.

The refractory temperature is similar to the melting temperature of quartz, or even worse, and the thickness is used to make up for it. After burning, the kiln must be rebuilt.

This is why colored glaze is difficult to burn, waste kiln!
The temperature of porcelain does not need to be so high, and the temperature of pottery is even lower.

Even for molten ore and steelmaking, the temperature is not as high as that of melting quartz without adding other things.

On the one hand, if you master the technology of burning glass, you can make good steel.

After burning the glass, use this kiln to burn special refractory bricks to increase the refractory index as much as possible, and build a new kiln with new bricks.

At present, in order to reduce the melting temperature of quartz, limestone is added, and there is too little soda ash, so we can only use limestone, which is sodium carbonate decahydrate.

However, if limestone is used, more limestone is needed, and the proportion of materials will change. If soda ash is used, the proportion of limestone will decrease.

You can also try to burn a part of the limestone into quicklime first, and then add it in, so that the dehydration effect is better and the overall time is reduced.

Zhu Wentian knows where there are many soda ash mines. Tongbai County, Henan Province is about [-] kilometers away from the local area.

He also knows that the right to speak is not enough, and he can ask the imperial court to dig alkali mines there after waiting for the spring drought in the main wheat producing area.

Before making achievements, it is difficult to win the trust of high-level people, especially those who are emperors.

Thinking of him, he looked at his friends, you still have to learn, these are high school knowledge, very simple.

At that time, normal people needed ten to 12 years. I will find a way to speed it up for you. We don’t study foreign languages ​​and politics.

Um!Learn a foreign language by yourself first. The pronunciation and spelling of other countries have changed. If you learn it well, you can avoid being deceived by barbarians from all over the world.

Zhu Wentian was thinking like this, and when he saw the friends, he would show...sinky smiles, and occasionally hey a few times.

With outsiders around, the character design cannot be destroyed, and the acting must be dedicated, serious, and professional.

Zhu Taisan and Zhu Taisi were so dizzy looking for someone, but they didn't find anything, everything was normal, what a wicked way!

Before dinner, new glass liquid flowed out one after another, and the villagers began to repeat the previous operation.

You only need to save a little for Hanhan, and don’t want the rest, so you have to make something quickly, even if you don’t sell it for money, you can use it in your own village.

Especially the glass cups and glass bowls, plates and plates made.

No matter how simple the villagers are, they still have a heart to show off, no, to show off, that's...to show off, right?

Think about it, other people use pottery to eat, but we eat porcelain is too expensive, so we have to use glassware. There is no way, our village has only this condition, and we have not fired porcelain.

It fell down with a snap, don't worry about it, it's fine if Mo stuck his foot.

Just like soap, when washing clothes by the river, if the soap is accidentally washed away in the river, who hasn’t missed the moment, right?
After the villagers know the cost price of everything when they make it themselves, they are less worried.

For example fermented bean curd, it used to be very expensive to buy.Before the Chinese New Year this year, what the village made by itself can be eaten. When it falls on the ground, it is impossible to pick it up and eat it, pick it up, and feed it to the livestock.

It's nothing more than a small piece of tofu. The beans in the field are cut up before they grow into silage to feed the livestock. What's there to be reluctant about?
Everyone makes things, while they are hot, dinner will be late.A villager told Zhu Taisan and Zhu Taisi to eat ahead of time, but they firmly refused.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang's dinner was also late, and Xiaqiu Village sent crabs and dipping sauces. The crabs were alive and delivered chilled, tied up with straw.

According to the distribution of people, there are four hundred in total, one hundred servings, four per person, and steaming is the best.

Live crabs with yellow paste are most suitable for steaming, otherwise they are braised in brown sauce, and now there is no chili, so spicy stir-fry is better.

The side dishes also have to be made fresh, such as scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, eggplant mixed with sesame oil, braised pork with bones and stewed eggs over rice as a staple food.

These things can be eaten in the palace if they want, the key is that the utensils given are not ordinary.

Glass plates, glass bowls, glass dishes, glass cups, glass wine jugs to warm wine, and glass lampshades to stream light.

"Damn it!" Zhu Yuanzhang's first reaction after seeing the utensil was like this.

Some time ago, I asked my boss to send ceramic utensils to Xiaqiu Village, a set, to show the emperor's favor!In fact, it is pretentious.

As a result, today they gave away a set of glazed tableware, no, a whole hundred sets.

"Father, Xiaqiu Village said that they were poor and had no money to buy colored glaze, so they had to think about firing it. Didn't this just send us the first kiln?"

Zhu Biao was also quite speechless, Zhu Taiyi and Zhu Taier had already talked about the process.

The colored glaze is not directly formed in the kiln after firing in other people's kilns, but processed later. There are molds, and it is easy to fill one by one.

The only problem is that it is easy to break, and it cannot be burned on fire, nor can it be directly poured with hot water when it is cold.

But it doesn't matter if it's broken, there are still some in the village, so I'll give it away later.

What is it called a test product? It has not been annealed, and it will be fine in the future. It has an annealing process and is stronger.

Zhu Biao was very depressed. He finished writing the letter and asked the village what he could sell to the barbarians to make money.

Before the letter was sent out, the things were delivered first, which of course made money.

The more transparent it is, the harder it is to burn. There have been transparent colored glazes in the past, and they were fired by accident, and they were very valuable.

"It's because you dislike the bad ceramics I gave you, right? How could he do this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is not happy anymore. You still think it’s bad for giving you so much. They are all good things in the palace!
"Chongba, they told you that you can sell colored glaze, and sell it to barbarians."

Empress Ma explained by the side, I really think you are not good, and it is only a statement that people burn ceramics and deliver them.

"That's it, everyone's surname is Zhu, family, let's eat!" Zhu Yuanzhang became happy again.
