Chapter 797 Glass
When the craftsmen were in full swing experimenting with glass, Yun Yiyi was not idle in the past four days, she first went to the store to see how Yunniang's selection of branches was going.

Seeing that Yunniang had arranged things in an orderly manner, Yun Yiyi was not in a hurry and waited for her to list down the address first.

As the weather started to warm up, Yun Yiyi ordered the kitchen staff to start adjusting the menu according to the temperature to avoid unnecessary waste.

Boneless chicken feet have been very popular recently. At first, everyone scoffed at restaurants using chicken feet as ingredients, but there are always people who want to try something new.

Human beings are such strange creatures. On the one hand, they say that I will never eat them, but once someone eats them, everyone will think that there is nothing to eat. However, once a person has this idea, others only need to say a word Well, then such people will follow suit.

Commonly known as really fragrant.

Human beings have always had something in common when it comes to food, so although Yun Yiyi expected resistance at the beginning, time will tell that they will be useless.

In front of food, even chicken feet can be tried.

Boneless chicken feet even spread to the imperial palace. I heard that the emperor must order this dish every day. Since the emperor likes to eat it so much, the ministers below will not be polite.

Originally, some well-known people felt that the boneless chicken feet were made of chicken feet, and they felt that this kind of food lowered their taste. Although one or two were infinitely attracted, they insisted on not eating it.

Until I heard that the emperor is eating this dish, I am not hypocritical.

Even people with the status of the emperor like to eat boneless chicken feet. Are their courtiers higher than the emperor?
Of course, as the face of an official, he would not make a special trip to the restaurant to eat, but through the order staff, orders poured towards the kitchen one by one.

Just today, Yun Yiyi roughly estimated that there were more than 300 orders.

This kind of income is extremely considerable, Yun Yiyi seems to see the white money running towards her.

"Ma'am, the hawkers we are working with actually want to triple the price." Wang Ya walked towards Yun Yiyi after she came out of the kitchen.

"How many times the price in the market?"

Wang Ya was very angry: "Five times! Ma'am, they just look at us to make money."

"The market is already like this, let's sign a contract with three times as much." Yun Yiyi smiled lightly. Now that everyone knows that boneless chicken feet are popular, chicken feet, the raw material of boneless chicken feet, will definitely rise. The reason for the price increase is Yun Yiyi. As expected.

Seeing that Wang Ya was still looking very angry, Yun Yiyi comforted: "Okay, go and sign a contract with them, the price may increase again if it's too late."

Wang Ya went out in response.

As soon as she left with her front foot, Li Yao stepped into the threshold with her back foot.

"Ma'am, the craftsman invites you to come here." His expression was still a little excited.

Yun Yiyi raised her eyes: "But the glass is ready?"

"Ma'am, I don't know if it's glass, you should go and have a look first."

Yun Yiyi nodded slightly, seeing Li Yao's eyes lingering on Yuniang's side, she said with a smile: "You take a rest, come back later."

Li Yao quickly thanked: "Thank you Madam for your consideration."

There are still three days left before Yan Nianyan's wedding day, Yun Yiyi is afraid that she won't be able to add makeup in time, now hearing Li Yao's words, she wonders if the glass has already been made.

When she got to the craftsman's place, she pushed open the door of the inner room, and what she saw was a square piece of glass.

Yun Yiyi rubbed it to make sure that she really saw it right, it was a piece of crystal clear glass.

The craftsman was standing in front of him admiringly, when he heard the sound of the door being pushed, he turned around quickly, saw Yun Yiyi walking in, and said happily, "Ma'am, is this the glass you want?"

Yun Yiyi once said that glass is transparent, and the glass produced today is transparent. Although he doubts that this may be glass, after all, the craftsman has never seen what glass looks like, so he is not sure about it. Only then did Yun Yiyi come over to make sure.

"Yes, it's glass."

Hearing Yun Yiyi's words, the craftsman's expression suddenly became excited: "This is too amazing! When I made it, I didn't expect it to be really transparent! Ma'am, how did you think of it?"

Yun Yiyi rubbed her nose, and quickly found an excuse for herself: "I didn't think of this, I just saw it in a travel book, and wrote it down when I thought it was interesting, but I didn't expect it to be successful."

"Ma'am, you really have the foresight! I can completely predict how big a wave the glass will cause once it is known to everyone!"

Yun Yiyi smiled lightly, took a step forward and bent down, and was about to stretch out her fingers to gently touch the corner of the glass, but was dissuaded by the craftsman: "Madam, although it has been polished, it's better not to touch it, so as not to scratch your fingers. .”

Yun Yiyi withdrew her hand: "I see."

"Madam, this material is really special. The small one barely found the trick after many failures, and the success rate is very low. The small one wasted more than a dozen barrels of materials to make such a small piece."

What the craftsman didn't say is that this is not only difficult to make, but the temperature requirements are almost harsh.

The most difficult thing to do is to control the temperature. If the temperature is not high enough, the finished product will have a lot of impurities and will be more prone to cracking.

I don't know how many times he failed to make such a decent glass.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work." Yun Yiyi praised, originally she thought that even if she could do it, it would not be pure enough.

But what I didn't expect was that the craftsmen actually made it. Although it is still a bit unsatisfactory compared with modern technology, it is a breakthrough compared with this era.

The craftsman waved his hands again and again: "The small one is just made according to Madam's method, so it's not hard work."

Yun Yiyi didn't argue with him anymore, she turned her head and asked, "Where's the cup I want?"

The craftsman slapped his head, and stretched out his hand to signal her to look to the left: "Madam, how do you think this is done?"

Yun Yiyi walked to his side, and saw a black lacquered square box, she opened it, and found a pair of goblets.

She lifted one of the cups and pointed it at the light outside the window. The cup was crystal clear, revealing a glimmer of luster.

Yun Yiyi put the cup back: "Very good, it's exactly what I want."

This is the makeup she wants to give Yan Nianyan.

Yun Yiyi handed it over to the maid for safekeeping.

Yun Yiyi looked at the remaining piece of glass in the corner: "The remaining glass can be made into a few mirrors."

This can only be made into a small mirror.

Yun Yiyi recalled the scene where noble ladies complained about the blurred bronze mirror, and believed that Yan Nianyan would also like this kind of small mirror.

"Ma'am, there's only so much left, it can't be used as a few mirrors."

Yun Yiyi knew that he had misunderstood her meaning, took the pen and paper in the inner room, and drew a small mirror that was only big enough to hold in the palm of his hand: "Don't want that kind of big mirror, just make it a small mirror like this."

The craftsman took it and looked at it: "Madam, such a small mirror may not be able to fully reflect it."

"It's okay, it's mainly for the convenience of carrying." Yun Yiyi smiled, "How long will it take to make this?"

The craftsman estimated the time in his heart, and said: "The design drawn by Madam is very simple. It won't be long. After the small one is finished, I will send someone to send it to you tomorrow."

"fair enough."

Yun Yiyi led the maid out of the room, and saw Li Yaozheng standing on one side.

"Ma'am, do you still need to collect some more materials?" Seeing Yun Yiyi coming out, Li Yao rushed to meet her.

Yun Yiyi thought for a while, she originally thought about making glass because of Yan Nianyan, so she said, "I don't need it for now."

Li Yao stepped aside in response.

The small mirror was made faster than Yun Yiyi expected, and the next day, someone delivered it early in the morning.

The maid held the black lacquer box high in both hands, as if treating something precious.

you do not say.

When she took it, she heard from the craftsman that the things inside were particularly easy to crack, and would shatter with a slight touch.

The maid had no choice but to take small steps, stopping every step.

Yun Yiyi waited for a long time but didn't see the servant girl coming over. When she was about to go over to have a look, she saw the servant girl's exaggerated appearance.

She smiled: "what are you doing so carefully?"

"Back to Madam, the craftsman said that the things in the box are easy to break, and the servants dare not move rashly." Hearing Yun Yiyi's question, the servant girl subconsciously looked up at her.

Yun Yiyi comforted: "Don't be so nervous, as long as you don't shake too much, you can walk at your usual speed."

It's just some small mirrors, not so fragile.

Hearing this, the servant girl obviously relaxed a lot, walked slowly to Yun Yiyi's side, and carefully placed the black lacquer box in her hand on the table.

Yun Yiyi stretched out her hand to open it, saw that there were more than a dozen small mirrors inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

She took out one of the small mirrors and took a picture of her own face.

Different from the fuzziness of the bronze mirror, the face reflected by the glass mirror is extremely clear.

It was also the first time for Yun Yiyi to see herself in such a high-definition, and she had a refreshing feeling of seeing the fog behind the clouds.

"Ma'am, what is this thing! It's so clear!" the servant girl exclaimed.

She had never seen such a miraculous thing, and she couldn't help but exclaimed immediately.

Yun Yiyi handed her the mirror in her hand, motioning for her to hold it herself.

The servant girl took it excitedly, and a small mirror was embedded in a small round frame. Due to the limited size, the servant girl had to hold it a little far away to see her whole picture clearly.

But even so, she was very satisfied.

The mirror is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and look at it carefully.

"It's a glass mirror."

"Ma'am, if you sell it, how much money will it cost?" the servant girl asked curiously.

Those noble ladies have wanted such a clear mirror for a long time. A precious mirror like this is probably very expensive.

Yun Yiyi laughed softly: "This one, you can't buy it."

The servant girl was puzzled: "Madam, why don't you sell such a good thing? Many people will definitely buy it."
