Chapter 742 Solution to Bubbles

"Master Hou, why are you here?"

When the steward of the Liuli Workshop heard the waiter say that Mr. Hou was coming, he hurried out to greet him!
"Stop making such nonsense, tell me, can you tell me how to burn purer colored glaze now?" Ji Song is also following the local customs. Glass is the name of later generations, and now it is colored glaze.

Speaking of this matter, the steward's heart suddenly rose.

A lot of money is thrown into it every year, but the results are so slow and frustrating.So far, only transparent glass has appeared, but the bubbles inside cannot be eliminated.

"bubble?"

Ji Song was stunned. The transparent part had been burned out?
He really didn't know about this. You Ning was basically in charge of everything in the workshop, and he rarely interfered.

"Let's go, take this prince to have a look!"

The Marquis did not get angry, which made the steward relieved.

Arriving at the hot workshop, Ji Song saw a furnace that was not very big. This was the furnace for firing colored glaze.

He signaled to the craftsmen not to worry about him and to do whatever they had to do, and to see for themselves first.

After the juice from the furnace was cooled and flattened, I found that there were a lot of bubbles in it, but not many big ones. You really couldn't tell without looking carefully.

Logically speaking, such glass is enough, even if it is made into a mirror, there will be no problem.But if you want to make a concave and convex mirror, it is just a fantasy.

The larger the multiple, the larger the space can be seen even from the bubbles as small as a pinhole.

"When was this kind of colorless glaze produced?" Ji Song asked.

At the beginning, all the glass that was fired was colored, which was basically a little colored. This was caused by too many impurities in it.

"It's almost half a month. We originally thought we would report it to our families after we burned it without bubbles, but we didn't expect that the delay would be half a month."

Ji Song touched his beard. He thought of a report he had seen before, so he said: "In this case, you are making a furnace, and I will think of a way!"

Although the steward had doubts, he did not dare to discount the Marquis's instructions in the slightest. This was what the elders of the family had repeatedly warned.

No matter how incredible the Marquis's idea is, just do it.

As a result, it turns out that Hou Ye can always accomplish what they cannot accomplish unexpectedly.

The steward ignored Sanqi 21 and shouted: "Everyone, get moving, let's make another furnace."

"Okay, don't worry!"

Everyone doesn't care, they are just eating this bowl of rice, but it is just a matter of cooking it again. How much effort can it take?

After a while, after pouring the raw materials into the stove, the fire started.

When the temperature rose, Ji Song felt how hot it was inside. Even his body couldn't bear it.

"We need to prepare more water here. No one can work here for more than half an hour in a row. If there are not enough people, find more people. It is too hot here. Who can bear to stay here for a long time?"

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will take care of this matter right away."

This is just an order for the stewards. The Marquis cherishes these craftsmen, so of course he has no reason to stop them.

Besides, how much does this cost?

Now is the heating up stage, and there is no reason for him to wait here.

"I'll come in after it turns into liquid." After that, he went out.

The steward looked at everyone and said loudly: "You all heard it, the Marquis just doesn't want to see everyone suffer, so please be more careful in the future!"

"You're saying this as if we don't know what's good and what's good? Mr. Hou is a famous prodigal. Well, we all know that he is a kind man." A young man almost let it slip, and ran off to work after he finished speaking.

The steward scolded with a dark face: "They are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves, blinding the good intentions of the Marquis. Bah, you deserve to suffer."

After that, I went out. It was too hot here.

About two hours later, someone came inside and said that it had begun to melt.

Ji Song came in and saw that it was indeed starting to melt.

He asked someone to bring in the two iron rods equipped with insulation layers that he had just prepared. He pointed at the iron rods and said, "Go up and stir the two iron rods with these two iron rods until they are completely melted." The workers didn't care about anything else. Just do whatever your family tells you to do.

The steward hesitated and said, "Master Marquis, is this useful?"

"Just watch it first. You'll know later if it's useful."

He didn't explain too much, and once it was poured out, everything was clear.

Ji Song had been observing the situation inside, and when he saw that the two waiters were tired, he quickly asked them to be replaced.

"Master Hou, it's ready to come out."

Ji Song looked at the red liquid inside, nodded and said, "Okay, you can do it! Call me after it cools down, it's too damn hot."

Ji Song gave the order and hurried out. In just a moment, his whole body was covered in sweat, and the sweat on his head didn't stop.

After he went out, he asked someone to find some quick clothes. If he didn't change, he would feel very uncomfortable.

"Master Marquis, you can't do this. The clothes here are worn by these rough guys. If this gets out, people will laugh at you."

Ji Song kicked him angrily and scolded him with a smile: "Go quickly. If you keep going, we will see how I deal with you."

I had no choice but to look for clothes with a grimace.

In the end, I didn't dare to bring those clothes, but I just found a dress sewn by my wife.

"Lord Hou, Lord Hou"

At this time, a waiter hurriedly ran out from inside and shouted loudly.

The steward was stunned for a moment, thinking something had happened, and quickly asked: "Tell me, has something happened?"

Every time fluid is discharged, it is the most dangerous time. If you are not careful, it will splash on people.

"No, no, there are no bubbles, there are no bubbles!"

The man danced happily. He and others tried their best to solve the problem day and night, but the Marquis went to use two sticks to solve it.

"Is it really gone?" the steward said excitedly, grabbing the boy's clothes.

Ji Song, however, was much calmer and said, "I won't go in. You can take out the flattened finished product."

"It's Mr. Hou, I'll go right away."

After a while, two people took out two pieces of glass one foot square.

"It's true," the steward said happily.

Ji Song picked it up and looked at it, then looked at the sun and found that there were no bubbles.Even if there is, there are some places on the edge.

"Not bad, not bad. But not enough!"

The steward was stunned when he heard this and said in disbelief: "Master Hou, isn't this kind of colored glaze good enough?"

"no!"

Then he ordered: "Go and watch and select the purest raw materials. There won't be a single particle of other impurities in them. Especially when firing, there shouldn't be any impurities left in them."

"What I need is pure and transparent glass, the kind without any impurities."

He picked up one of the pieces and said, "Look, the color here is a little dark, which means there are impurities inside."

"I'll give you three days to make the finished glass."

The manager felt a little embarrassed: "It's not a problem, it just takes some effort, but it's just money."

Ji Song waved his hand and said, "Remember, it must be done at all costs."

Seeing the solemn expression of the Marquis, although he didn't know why, the Marquis was like this, and he had to do it even if he risked his life.

He gritted his teeth and said to everyone: "Guys, please do something. Mr. Marquis is not kind to you. If anyone goes wrong this time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After finishing speaking, he personally led everyone into the workshop.
