Pirate Song

While blowing, Gao Huaiyuan continued to heat and modify the shape, and at the same time explained the essentials of how to blow these things to the three kiln workers. In fact, he himself was half a bottle of water, because his father's factory in his previous life was all mechanized operations. Only a small workshop will use this artificial blowing method to make some special decorations. He was just curious and thought it was fun before he learned it a few times. Naturally, the blown things are not eye-catching. They were all placed directly in his bedroom as abstract artworks.

But with his skills, he became a master craftsman here. After working hard for a long time, he finally finished two things that looked like vases, and put them in the annealing room for annealing, so as not to burst when cooling down. No, he was busy for nothing.

As for the other people, they also worked for a long time, but in the end they only produced some realistic works, which were so horrible that everyone was depressed to death.

"It can't be rushed. Anyway, the glass has already been fired. After you have these raw materials, if you can't blow them well, just smash them back into the furnace and melt them. Anyway, it won't be wasted. It's just a little coal. Practice for a while You will be able to blow out good things naturally! Take your time! Don’t worry about it in the future!” Gao Huaiyuan said to the three kiln workers with the appearance of a master master.

But the kiln workers did not dare to underestimate Gao Huaiyuan. They have all heard of colored glaze. The ancients already had this thing, but only the royal craftsmen knew how to make it. It is extremely difficult for the folks to find it. But my young master actually used something that had nothing to do with crystals to burn colored glaze, which is really almost like a fairy!Don't underestimate Gao Huaiyuan now, it's as if he worships him all over the ground!

No wonder they were so shocked. Gao Huaiyuan casually said that this thing was colored glaze, which was an unintentional act, but he forgot that colored glaze was something that existed in ancient China, but colored glaze in ancient times was not the glass of later generations. Instead, it is fired with glass stone and glass mother. Glass stone is a colored crystal material. The main component should be silicon dioxide. Glass mother is a natural and artificially refined crystal. The ancient formula can change the structure and physical characteristics of crystal, and there are obvious differences in shape, color and transparency.

Real colored glaze is a craft only mastered by royal craftsmen, and colored glaze is made of lead oxide, while glass is made of silicon dioxide. They are all fired at high temperatures, but colored glaze is not recyclable, and glass can be recycled and remelted for use. Yes, its value is simply incomparable.

It is precisely because of the preciousness of colored glaze that it can only be found in the royal family, and it cannot be seen on the market at all. Although there were already Tibetan merchants who shipped glass products to China in the Song Dynasty, the number was still very small at this time. People who have seen it It is limited to very high-level people, and the price is also very high. Gao Huaiyuan came up with this thing, which is really a bit shocking.

So after Gao Huaiyuan burned out the glass, he completely smothered these people. Xue Yan never thought about Gao Huaiyuan's brain problems again, and only then did he understand what he was spending so much energy on these days. up!No wonder Gao Huaiyuan smiled strangely when he saw the pot of liquid glass coming out just now. Anyone who sees this kind of thing will be overjoyed. Now he can't see through Gao Huaiyuan. How many secrets there are!

Now that the glass has been fired, it will not be difficult in terms of application. The first pot of finished glass liquid may be caused by impurities. It slightly presents a kind of lake green, and the transparency is far less good than that of later generations of white glass. , not to mention the quality of crystal glass, which can be used as ink bottles or pesticide bottles in later generations, but even so, it is still a remarkable thing in this era. The vase, which resembled an ink bottle, was taken out of the annealing room after it was annealed and cooled, and immediately aroused everyone's amazement.

Gao Huaiyuan was holding these two things that looked like big-bellied ink bottles, and he was dissatisfied when he looked left and right, but right now he can only get to this point, and the craftsmanship needs to be gradually improved, but it is not a matter of overnight He is dissatisfied, but it does not mean that others are dissatisfied. After all, this thing is a thing of the times. A few kiln workers squatted in front of the "ink bottle" and marveled, with green lights in their eyes. In their opinion, these two things are really It's so beautiful!Simply priceless.

The three kiln workers, as well as the newly recruited two sons of Lu Laoshi, became Gao Huaiyuan's first batch of glass workers. Gao Huaiyuan strictly ordered them not to reveal any news, and promised that as long as they made good things , will give them very generous rewards, of course several people nodded, now they have found a good job, as long as they do this job well in the future, they will no longer have to worry about food and drink. If you have to work for a year or two, maybe you will find a wife!

As for the craftsmanship, Gao Huaiyuan asked them to use their brains to think, whether it is blowing or pouring, as long as they can make something practical and beautiful, even as long as they can pull out a flat glazed board, they will be rewarded. , and don’t have to be afraid of breaking it, you can do it boldly, as long as you come up with something that can be sold.

This greatly mobilized their enthusiasm. Anyway, if you are not afraid of breaking it, just do it!A few people started to sneak into the shed all night long, regardless of whether it was hot or not, and started working with their arms bare.

Gao Huaiyuan took Xue Yan with him, and asked a carpenter to make two very exquisite sandalwood boxes, which were lined with brocade cotton, and put two large "ink bottles" in them, making them very expensive. , caught up with the car, and walked unsteadily towards Daye County.

Before firing the glass, when Gao Huaiyuan wandered around Daye County, he had already thought about the future market and sales channels. Naturally, he would not open a store to sell this kind of thing by himself. He needed to find a partner. He hides in the dark, only provides products, and doesn't care about buying and selling. In this way, he can make money without showing off, which will be much more convenient for him in the future.

And he has already thought about the goal of cooperation. After the car entered Daye County, Xue Yan drove the car straight to an antique shop called Jubaozhai in Daye County. Glass is still a new thing now. , and the output is too low now, if you want to make money, you can only take a high-end route. Only by putting it in an antique shop can it show its worth.

Jubaozhai is not the largest antique shop in Daye County, but here, there are two antique shops that are much bigger than him, but Gao Huaiyuan chose him, and brought Xue Yan all the way to Jubaozhai, He brought two exquisite sandalwood boxes and walked into Jubaozhai.

"Hey, guest officer! You're here! I don't know if the guest officer wants to buy or sell something?" A young boy in a shop saw Gao Huaiyuan coming in, so he hurried forward and greeted with a smile on his face. No wonder he was so polite, Gao Huaiyuan cleaned up specially today and put on a set of his best clothes, and Xue Yan behind him was also dressed neatly, he looked like a young master from a rich family, and Xue Yan Yan was also holding two very exquisite boxes, that's why he asked this question.

Gao Huaiyuan looked around in the store, and found that there were some bronze wares, some wooden wares, and lacquer wares, and there were a few ordinary jade wares that looked a little old. Two antique shops, so under the call of the guy, he sat down on a chair in the shop with great determination.

"My little brother, to tell you the truth, I'm here to sell things, but I'm afraid you can't give me a price for this thing, so why don't you invite the shopkeeper of your store to come out and see for yourself?" Gao Huaiyuan Said politely to this guy.

When the guy heard this, he felt a little unhappy, thinking that you are a young man, what kind of knowledge do you have, and you dare to say that I can't give you a price after seeing it. Could it be that there are really some treasures in these two boxes of yours?But he thought so, but he didn't dare to say it. After all, although Gao Huaiyuan was young, he had an extraordinary temperament, giving off a sophisticated and calm feeling that was different from his age, which made one dare not underestimate him.

After a slight pause, the clerk replied: "Since the young master said so, I'll go and invite our shopkeeper to come over! But you have to tell me first, I don't know what it is." It’s good to give our shopkeeper a reply, isn’t it?”

Gao Huaiyuan smiled slightly and said: "You just go and invite your shopkeepers. If your shopkeepers don't like my things, how about I pay you a lot of money? And I mean what I say! You should go and invite your shopkeepers quickly." of!"

When the guy heard this, he felt that Gao Huaiyuan didn't seem to be looking for him to be happy. Maybe these two things of his were really good things, so he nodded and said, "Yes! We don't ask you for money, as long as we don't let us It’s enough to be scolded! Guest officer, wait a moment, I’ll come back as soon as I go!”

Gao Huaiyuan crossed his legs and drank tea leisurely. Not long after, he heard footsteps coming from behind, and then he lifted the curtain leading to the back hall, and walked out a fair and slightly fat middle-aged man. He looked like a young man, with a beard several inches long on his chin, which looked very neat and tidy. As soon as he came out, he locked his eyes on Gao Huaiyuan, and then glanced at Xue Yan who was beside him, seeing that Xue Yan put the two boxes together. He hugged him tightly, so he quickly showed a smile, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "The guest officer has been waiting for a long time, Ma has lost his way, I hope the guest officer will forgive me a lot!"

Gao Huaiyuan put down his teacup, stood up and returned the salute, "How dare you! Gao took the liberty to come, but asked the shopkeeper Ma to come out. I'm being rude!"
