Chapter 867 Mirror (Part [-])
"Wow, there are so many!" Although Lin Yuan had already been mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw the radiant colored glaze in front of her.

This room was originally used to store herbs, but when they heard that Lin Yuan and Xia Zhengnong had stored some rare things, they cleaned them up overnight, and the room could still smell the faint fragrance of herbs.

The glass in front of her was separated by a thick quilt. Lin Yuan roughly counted that there were seven or eight pieces, and each piece was about three feet square.In addition, there are a lot of cracked glass placed in the corner of the wall, which must have been damaged during transportation.Seeing those broken colored glazes, Lin Yuan felt pity in her heart.

Different from the colored glaze seen in Xia Zheng's room, these are the most primitive colored glazes that have not been carved, but simply cut. Lin Yuan told Xia Zheng about the appearance of a mirror before, so the colored glaze in front of him should be It was cut into half-finger-thick glazed sheets with a special technique, and this kind of cutting method is not something ordinary people can do, and it should have been cut in the Western Regions.

"Yes, if you like it, I'll send someone to transport it." Xia Zheng smiled, but felt extremely regretful in his heart. In fact, they originally got two big cars, but they encountered some accidents on the way. Liuli was detained.

Naturally, he didn't tell Lin Yuan about this, otherwise Lin Yuan would have to go to Xiliang to chop up that boy who dared to block her way of making money, as Lin Yuan is a money addict.

Although Xia Zheng didn't say anything, Lin Yuan also knew that transporting these fragile colored glazes from the distant Western Regions to Dayong was definitely not as simple as what Xia Zheng said.

"There is a saying that you should know that things are rare." Lin Yuan stroked Liuli, which was almost as tall as a person, with a smile, and said with a smile: "If we have as many mirrors as there are bronze mirrors sold on the street, then What else can I earn?"

Xia Zheng nodded, deeply agreeing.

As for turning colored glaze into a mirror, we had to find someone with special skills. First of all, melting silver into silver water was not something Lin Yuan could do.

There was no outsider in the room, so Lin Yuan gave Xia Zheng a rough idea of ​​how to make the mirror. In fact, the mirror is very simple. Later generations use mercury, which is evenly spread on one side of the transparent glass, so that you can see it on the other side. I have come to my own appearance.Although there is no mercury, after melting silver into water, it can barely be used as mercury.

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Xia Zheng was dumbfounded. He never thought that money could be used like this.However, he does know who can melt silver into water, as long as it is Yinzhuang, it can generally do it.It's just that it's more difficult to find someone who is strict and won't reveal the matter.

Fortunately, the capital city is Xia Zheng's territory. To be precise, the capital city is the territory of Xia's army. Not only Yinzhuang can melt silver, but Xia's army's arsenal has hidden guards who can do this.

"Leave this matter to me. I will find a suitable person for you the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Xia Zheng patted his chest to ensure that it was not a lie. The next afternoon, he found the right person. Not only the person, but also the tools were complete. The pot was made of special materials and the stove with a special shape. Putting the small pot on the stove, it fit perfectly, and the heat was evenly distributed, which really amazed Lin Yuan.

As for the person who came to do this, Lin Yuan was indeed relieved.Because he is a deaf-mute, he can't hear with his ears, can't speak with his mouth, and doesn't even know the words. He can only communicate with a few simple gestures.

After asking Lin Yuan about Yin Shui's appearance, Xia Zheng made a few gestures with both hands and briefly explained to the man.

In order to shorten the time for melting the silver water as much as possible, Lin Yuan also deliberately exchanged a lot of broken silver in Yiranju, and all of them are the smallest pieces of broken silver. Although they are all broken, if they are integrated, There are probably more than ten or two.

They did this in the cellar in the backyard today, even Liu Limin and Liu Siliang didn't tell, the whole family was curious.

Time passed bit by bit, and the blacksmith was completely immersed in his own world, as if he hadn't noticed the passage of time at all, he focused on looking at the small pot in front of him, and picked up a piece with a small clip after the broken silver inside melted Throw in the broken silver and continue the previous process.

If you watch this kind of stereotyped action too much, you will feel bored.Coupled with the fact that all the money melted in the small pot, Lin Yuan was bored and distressed at the same time. She sniffled, rubbed her slightly aching heart and turned to look at Liuli next to her.

Before, she thought about finding a piece of broken glass to do an experiment, but if she had to spend more than ten taels of silver, she would be so distressed that she would not be able to sleep for several days.So, I took out a whole piece of colored glaze to make a mirror.

They set up a large table with a quilt spread on it, and then placed Liuli on it smoothly.Of course, these things were all done by Lin Yi and Xia Zheng. Lin Yuan's small arms and legs couldn't move such a large piece of colored glaze.

Because it is winter now, the glass is cold, and the silver water is boiling hot just after leaving the stove. In order to prevent the glass from being shattered, Lin Yuan specially boiled a large pot of hot water, soaked the entire quilt, and then Wet the colored glaze bit by bit to let the temperature of the colored glaze rise slowly.

This process lasts until the blacksmiths have melted all the silver water. Although the temperature of the glass at this time cannot be compared with the temperature of the silver water, at least it will not be to the point where it will be cracked by the hot silver water.

Wrapping her hands with a thick cloth towel, Lin Yuan poured the silver water on the surface of the glass bit by bit under Xia Zheng's nervous and curious gaze, looking at the slightly white silver water Slowly flowing over the glass, Lin Yuan's heart also lifted.

The silver water turned into more than ten taels of silver is at most two small bowls, which can cover a three-foot-square glass.

"Okay." Putting the small pot that was empty in her hand aside, Lin Yuan flicked her wrist, and exhaled deeply. She was too nervous when pouring the silver water just now, which made her wrist sore and sour. It hurts, almost trembling.

Xia Zheng came over distressedly to help her massage her wrist. He was skillful, talking to Lin Yuan while massaging, which made Lin Yuan feel a lot easier.

"Is that all right?"

Lin Yuan asked him to rub her hands, while she bent her body slightly, put her gaze at Liuli's level, and looked left and right: "Wait a little longer, if there is any unevenness, just wipe it with a scraper. gone."

These things don't need to be done by Lin Yuan, just leave it to the blacksmith.

Xia Zheng explained to the blacksmith again with hand gestures, and took Lin Yuan to sit aside.
