Chapter 796 Materials
The prince's big wedding was scheduled on the seventh day after the Shangyuan Festival.

As Yan Nianyan's rare sister, Yun Yiyi naturally wanted to add makeup to her, but what gift to give was a headache.

Looking at Yun Niang who was making calculations in the shop, Yun Yiyi asked: "Sister Yan will get married in a few days, what gift can you think of for her?"

After these few days of getting along, Yan Nianyan and Yun Niang have gradually become familiar with each other. Hearing her words, Yun Niang stopped, thought hard, and said: "Yun Niang has made up her mind, and I will give her a set of biscuits when the time comes." The jasper hairpin of Xige."

Yunniang's family is not rich, and this set of jasper hairpins is not cheap, which shows her intentions.

"Hey, I haven't decided what to give yet." Yun Yiyi was a little worried.

"Madam, would you like some rouge powder?" Yun Niang asked tentatively.

Talking about this, Yun Yiyi gave me even more headaches: "Sister Yan told me on a special trip that I was not allowed to give these away. She said she couldn't use them all up, so she asked me to send some novelties."

Rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry, etc., Yan Nianyan, as the crown princess, naturally has no shortage of these.

Even precious things like facial mask oil, because she gave them away from time to time, it seemed a bit stingy to take them out as makeup.

Yun Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "Maybe it's because Madam always has fantastic ideas, so Miss Yan is a little special to Madam."

After all, Yan Nianyan didn't say that she was not allowed to give these.

Yun Yiyi said angrily: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, have you seen a suitable branch in the neighboring county?"

"Returning to Madam, it has not happened yet. The neighboring counties are not as prosperous and barren as the capital city. If we open a store, I'm afraid not many people will buy it."

"Since this is the case, there is no rush. We can open a few more branches in the capital, so that every region has our restaurants."

Yun Niang nodded and sent someone to investigate the area.

Seeing that nothing was going on in the store, Yun Yiyi was about to leave when a waiter accidentally broke a cup.

Fortunately, there was no one around, Xiao Er hurried to pick up the debris.

Yun Yiyi stared at the cup tightly, and suddenly a bright light appeared in her mind.

cup……

lifetime……

By the way, she can give Yan Nianyan a pair of cups, this meaning is very good.

However, if it is an ordinary pottery cup, it must be nothing new.

Yun Yiyi rolled her eyes, if it was a glass cup, it would be different...

There was no such thing in ancient times, the one she gave Yan Nianyan must be the only one.

Thinking of this, Yun Yiyi's eyes lit up.

Yes, when the time comes, I will give a pair of cups as makeup.

Yun Yiyi picked up the pen and began to draw the design.

After finishing the painting, she looked at it carefully and took back the pen.

With the blueprint, now is how to make glass.

Yun Yiyi knew all the things needed to make glass, but she just didn't know if there were these materials in ancient times.

She had to send someone to find these materials.

This kind of thing needs to be handled by a reliable person, and it happened that Li Yao came in with a takeaway box.

Yun Yiyi's eyes paused on him for a short while, and called him over.

"Go and do something for me. Find as many things as you can find on it." Yun Yiyi took out a piece of paper and wrote down some glass materials.

Li Yao pointed to the takeaway box: "Ma'am, what about me?"

"I'll let people do these things." Yun Yiyi said.

Li Yao nodded, looked up at Yunniang in front of the counter, turned and left.

Yun Yiyi saw all of this, she lowered her eyes, the materials she gave to Li Yao were all her ancient substitutes.

For example, the main component of glass is silica, which can be found in many porcelain pavements. Even if it is not found in these places, ordinary stones contain this component, so you can find suitable materials.

Just as Yun Yiyi expected, in the afternoon, Li Yao collected the materials she needed into a big box and was carried in.

Yun Yiyi inspected it and made sure there was no problem, so she asked someone to carry the material of the box to the craftsman.

It has been several months since the last time I found a craftsman to make a bicycle. The craftsman has been waiting for her to come over to make new gadgets. This time Yun Yiyi sent people to come here with such a big fanfare. Looking at the momentum, there must be a big deal to be done.

Immediately came out to greet her with a smile: "Madam Yan, long time no see, what are you going to do this time?"

Yun Yiyi bent her lips, and she could see what he was thinking at a glance: "That's right, there is indeed something new to trouble you this time."

As she spoke, she opened the big box and motioned him to look.

Seeing a box full of stones and gravel, the craftsman scratched his head in confusion, what was he going to do?
Is it possible to make a weapon?But I have never heard of any kind of weapon that is made of stone.

"Ma'am, this is it?"

Yun Yiyi walked into the inner room first, and the craftsman followed with a wink. After waving away the crowd, he said: "The thing to be made this time is called glass, and the big box contains the materials it needs. This is the design drawing and the glass. Let’s see how it’s made.”

"Madam, what is this glass?"

Yun Yiyi did not explain this question, but asked: "Do you think the bronze mirror at home is clear?"

"Not very clear." The craftsman replied inexplicably.

"If you use glass as a mirror, you will see the figure clearly, which is more obvious than the reflection on the water. For example, if you use glass as a cup, the things in the cup will be clear! Glass is a transparent A material, no matter what you do with it, is transparent."

"There are still such materials?" The craftsman was shocked by these words.

He has been a craftsman for so many years, and he has never heard of anything that is transparent.

Now Yun Yiyi told him that this glass is transparent for everything, which overthrows the cognition of so many years.

Almost impossible!
However, for Yun Yiyi, he has a kind of blind trust!
"You'll know if you try it." Yun Yiyi glanced at him and said a thousand times that it would be better for him to see it with his own eyes.

The craftsman's expression suddenly became excited.

"Okay, little one, let's go."

The craftsman responded and went to the inner hall.

Yun Yiyi asked Li Yao and the others to help carry the big box in.

Making glass is not so easy to succeed. Although she gave the craftsmen the production method, according to the craftsmanship level of this era, it is impossible to really make it without a few experiments.

Therefore, Yun Yiyi asked Li Yao to collect more materials.

Although Li Yao didn't understand what she wanted to do, he seemed to follow her orders.

He led a group of people to collect more than a dozen boxes of materials and put them in the inner hall for the craftsmen to use. After finishing, Yun Yiyi left him here to be responsible for supplying the craftsmen with materials.

Yun Yiyi did not leave after giving the blueprint as usual, but stood in the inner room watching the craftsmen smelting.

It stands to reason that some virtuous craftsmen don't like people watching behind them, one is to prevent stealing teachers, and the other is to affect their performance.

But for Yun Yiyi, the craftsman has no dissatisfaction.

Because, from time to time, Yun Yiyi will point out some problems sharply, and these problems are still the points that the craftsmen need to solve urgently.

"Ma'am, is the temperature okay now?" The craftsman blushed, and looked at Yun Yiyi while wiping his sweat.

Yun Yiyi was also unbearably hot from the high temperature, her back was soaked in sweat, she stepped back slightly to prevent the heat wave from overheating her clothes.

"Keep this temperature, after the high temperature melts, then cool it down."

The craftsman nodded, looked at the sweat on her forehead from time to time, and quickly said: "Madam, it's too hot here, why don't you go back first."

The servant girl twisted the wet veil again, and persuaded: "Madam, let's go out."

Yun Yiyi said: "Alright, if you have any doubts, you can ask someone to come to Yan Mansion to find me."

"Don't worry, ma'am." The craftsman responded quickly.

Yun Yiyi just came out, and the slightly chilly weather made her red face slightly cooler.

The servant girl quickly wiped her sweat with a handkerchief: "Madam, let me call a carriage."

Yun Yiyi twisted her sleeves, feeling as if she had just been in a sauna. It would be inappropriate for her to walk on the street like this, so she nodded.

The servant girl quickly responded and stepped out of the threshold, and after a while, a carriage was called.

The carriage drove for a while, and when passing by the market, Yun Yiyi opened the curtain and looked out, in front of the rouge shop, a group of noble ladies were discussing jewelry decorations, and the shopkeeper put out the best rouge for the noble ladies to choose.

On the table, there is an ancient bronze mirror.

A noble lady looked at the bronze mirror with disgust: "This mirror is so blurry, how can you see clearly whether your rouge is good or not?"

"That's right, shopkeeper, why don't you bring out a good mirror."

The shopkeeper apologized to all the noble ladies in distress: "This bronze mirror is already the clearest mirror in the store. If there is a clearer mirror, the young ones will definitely buy it without hesitation."

The noble ladies naturally knew that what he said was true, but every time they had to let other people see for themselves, it was extremely troublesome, and when the shopkeeper started to apologize, they just said a few words.

This scene quickly passed Yun Yiyi's sight, but it did not disappear from her mind for a long time.

Since ancient times, women's consumption power has been the highest. If glass is really made, besides making cups to add makeup to Yan Nianyan, Yun Yiyi's first thing is to make mirrors. I can't see clearly.

If a glass mirror is really born, the sales volume must be very high.

Apart from the head mirror, Yun Yiyi also needs to make a full-length mirror. She can fully predict the impact this will have on women!

Even she herself couldn't wait to see the full-length mirror just because of that thought.

Not only for women who love beauty, a full-length mirror is very important, but also for men.

There are so many officials in the imperial court, and there are so many descendants of the gentry, and the emphasis on appearance is almost more important than the women in the boudoir. It is extremely important to preserve a face without knowing the other party's knowledge.
