Pirate Song

Memories can only be memories, Gao Huaiyuan still has to think about the matter at hand, after shaking his head, he brought his thoughts back to his eyes.

Among the old father's previous industries, there was a glass factory, so the first thing he thought of was to produce glass. This thing was a rare thing in China in the Southern Song Dynasty. It's not too much trouble to get up.

He was a little happy at first, and decided to start from this place first, but after thinking about it, he was a little discouraged immediately!Craftsmanship is easy to talk about. Since he was a child, he often wandered around the glass factory that his father started.Among the raw materials of glass, quartz sand, feldspar, and limestone are things that are readily available, but if you want to burn high-quality glass, you must add soda ash. In the past, the glass factory produced by the old man used soda ash directly from the market. Purchasing, but in this day and age, where can I get soda ash!depressed!

Making soda ash?cut!He has that idea, but he doesn't have that ability. Chemistry is not his strong point, and he can't get it if he wants to. What should we do!

If you can't make glass, then make soap!This thing is the simplest, but it is still necessary to use soda ash!Even more depressed!As for things like perfume and toothpaste, it's easy to say, but I've heard of it, but I don't know what to do, and then I feel depressed!It seems that history is history, and the development of science and technology is also a chain of events. It is very difficult to intercept a section alone!Many things seem simple, but they are all related to various subjects, and they can only be done together. Gao Huaiyuan's mood began to become depressed. Is it so difficult for him to do something?

After a few days of wandering, the ambitious Gao Huaiyuan was beaten to the ground. Could it be that he, a guy with a lot of modern knowledge in later generations, could not even make a fortune in the Southern Song Dynasty?Gao Huaiyuan imagined that he wanted to find a place to hit the wall and pull him down.

After wandering around like this for a few days, he remembered the small porcelain kiln at home again, so he took Xue Yan wandering into the small porcelain kiln. When he saw the small porcelain kiln from a distance, he didn't know which muscle suddenly moved. His mood suddenly brightened, he patted his head violently, and laughed loudly, making Xue Yan who was following him confused, wondering what the young master was up to.

"Haha! I'm really a bit of a fool these days!" Gao Huaiyuan smiled while turning his head and walking towards the small porcelain kiln.

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan made such a sudden change was because he found that he had limited his thinking to make glass. He only wanted to make high-quality colorless glass, but he didn't expect that glass, at first, was not They are all decorations, so why not have a little color?What's more, the first glass produced in Italy in history was colored glass, which was originally used for decoration!What's wrong with poor quality?Even so, it is enough to amaze people in the present age. As for whether there is color, what does it matter?If there is no soda ash, use trona, and the glass made will still be sought after by the rich, so why worry about not being rich?

There is also such thing as soap. The ancients could use plant ashes to make alkaline water. The lack of caustic soda is just a little more raw material consumption, but the price goes without saying. Once it is made, it is definitely a luxury of the times. Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty The saponins used by ordinary people in the era or the saponins in the north are much better!Although it can't benefit the common people quickly, why is it difficult to get money out of the pockets of the rich?

He is a majestic time traveler who possesses a lot of knowledge of future generations. If he can't make money, he should really find a place to get a rope and hang him down!After figuring out these things, Gao Huaiyuan's chest suddenly became clearer, all the depression was swept away immediately, and confidence returned to his body again.

The small porcelain kiln is very small, with only three kiln workers, all of whom are domestic slaves of their Gao family. On weekdays, they burn some coarse porcelain and sell it to some tenants in the surrounding area. The price is very low. After deducting the cost, there is basically no surplus , so it has never been valued by the Gao family. It can be regarded as a dispensable business. It can earn some living expenses for the Gao family’s old house. They are all lazy, do a little if they want to do it, and bask in the sun if they don't want to do it. The whole is three idlers.

But when Gao Huaiyuan set his sights on them, their leisure time finally came to an end. Although the small porcelain kiln is not large, it is very suitable for him to start here first. After the experimental transformation, it can be put into production. He doesn't need to think about a modern glass factory, he just starts with a small handicraft workshop!

Gao Huaiyuan is an absolute activist, and he did what he said. He called the three kiln workers together, first reprimanded them, and then rewarded them with carrots and sticks. After some rectification, the three kiln workers Immediately cheered up, and then he put forward suggestions for improving the kiln according to the relatively primitive method, but he did not tell the three kiln workers why they did this, but only asked them to modify the kiln according to their own requirements. If it is not enough, find someone among the tenants. Anyway, they are now over for the autumn planting, and they are also idle. Find something for them to earn extra money.

The kiln workers also knew Gao Huaiyuan's temperament, so they didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately started to work, while Gao Huaiyuan sent Li Tong out to collect river sand, feldspar, limestone, etc. Smash it into pieces, crush it and sieve it. In order to keep it secret, he made a lot of other irrelevant things together, and finally let Xue Yan and Li Tong secretly dispose of these irrelevant things before disposing of the raw materials according to the recipe. Mix evenly.

It made a group of people confused, they didn't know what he was doing, how could these things be used in kilns, but the three kiln workers didn't dare to ask more questions, so they could only work dully, so Gao Huaiyuan Some very honest and loyal tenants were also asked to work in the kiln factory to earn some pocket money, but they were asked not to disclose anything.

These people have all been favored by Gao Huaiyuan, so they naturally pat their chests to promise that they will never go out and talk nonsense, and these people are also grateful to Gao Huaiyuan for giving them a chance to earn pocket money to supplement their families, so they worked very hard. That Lu Laoshi was not young, but he still brought his two sons to work in the porcelain kiln day and night, and they couldn't drive him away, which made Gao Huaiyuan feel a lot of emotion again.

After being so busy for a while, the porcelain kiln was finally changed into a simple vertical glass kiln. Gao Huaiyuan drew some special drawings, and sent Li Tong to find a blacksmith near the county town to make a batch of tools. Everything was ready. Dongfeng, according to the requirements of the kiln workers, chose an auspicious day to start the kiln.

Although the three kiln workers had experience in kiln firing, they didn't know anything about what was going to be fired this time. Gao Huaiyuan asked them to mix a pot of unclear powder and push it into the kiln. During the process, they were asked to light the kiln, so they had no choice but to follow Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, struggling to fill the fire and blow the wind, and the shifts were used to increase the temperature inside the kiln. It is crude and lacks the necessary thermometers. Whether it can meet the requirements of vitrification, everything can only be advanced by groping. Who knows what the first kiln glass will look like after being fired in this way.

Just like that, Gao Huaiyuan also stayed in the glass kiln all day long, and did not leave for many consecutive days. After the first two openings of the kiln, he failed. The re-burning made the three kiln workers exhausted, and they couldn't figure out what the state was!

Gao Huaiyuan didn't care about them, he adjusted the furnace temperature time and time again, and made detailed records. Finally, his hard work paid off. After several experiments, a pot of red glass juice was fired out. High temperature, Gao Huaiyuan took a look at the products of this furnace, and finally gritted his teeth and laughed.

"Successful! Haha! Our glass is successful! Hahahaha... this is a fortune!" After seeing the furnace of glass, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't contain his excitement, and jumped up and down dancing.

But the others really couldn't understand what was this sticky pot of hot stuff, it was so hot that it made people uncomfortable, but Gao Huaiyuan didn't care at all, and brought a special iron pipe, One end was stained with glass fluid, and it was blown violently by the mouth, and gradually a ball appeared on the other end of the iron pipe.

Everyone's eyes widened, stunned by the scene in front of them.

"Don't stand there stupidly, add fire, you can't blow it when it's cold! Hurry up!" Gao Huaiyuan shouted to the kiln workers, pointing to a nearby furnace.

These few people hurriedly blew air into the stove, Gao Huaiyuan heated the hardening glass ball on the stove, continued blowing vigorously, and continued to use some tools to trim the thing, gradually until it formed a vase Then I cut the soft vase from the other end of the iron pipe with iron scissors, put it on a tray and shouted: "Hurry up and send it to the annealing room, or it will explode when it cools down in a while!

So Xue Yan took the tray in a hurry, and carefully pushed it into a separate small room with a high temperature with a long pole to put it away.

"Don't be dumb, just try to blow it, don't care what it looks like, just try it!" Gao Huaiyuan dipped the iron pipe with glass fluid again, and greeted Xue Yan and others.

So these people quickly took an iron pipe, and carefully began to imitate Gao Huaiyuan's appearance, blowing fiercely at the iron pipe.

Don't look at Gao Huaiyuan doing this job, these people who have come into contact with glass for the first time are not good. They have used up all their strength, and the result is either that they can't blow it up, or they blow out a strange shape, not to mention how ugly it looks. !
