Allure of a Country Maiden

The carriage drove for two hours and finally stopped.

Xiao Fuzi jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door. After the door opened, he continued to get on the carriage, and then drove for a while before stopping.

At this time, Xiao Fuzi's voice came in: "Master, we are here."

Shangguan Xuanyi got off the carriage first, and Di Shaowei also jumped off, "Girl, I will carry you down."

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at his hand, and he quickly took it back.

Xiaoer opened the car curtain and Shangguan Xuanyi stretched out his hand. Xiaoer gently put her hand on his, jumped to the ground neatly, then withdrew her hand and stood still.

Only the state officials were allowed to set fires, but the people were not allowed to light lamps. Di Shaowei dared not speak out in anger.

Shangguan Xuanyi felt her hand just touch his palm and took it away.

At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted, "Master, Master Di, Miss."

"Lead the way!" Shangguan Xuanyi said calmly.

"Yes." He bowed and made a gesture of invitation, and then led a few people forward.

Several people walked into the workshop, and a wave of heat hit their faces. The fire was blazing and the smoke was filled. The workers' clothes were soaked through, and they were all sweating like rain. Xiaoer didn't even frown and continued walking forward, paying attention to the surrounding environment and the practices of the workers as he walked.

The kiln for firing colored glaze has complete tools but lacks molds. "I want to see the raw materials."

The raw materials of glass include quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc. "There are no big problems with the raw materials, and the tools are quite complete."

After hearing this, Di Zhaowei felt a little more balanced, "I spent ten thousand taels to buy these things from foreigners."

After hearing this, Xiaoer deliberately looked at him with contempt: "I was treated like a fish and killed! Later, I will draw some tools and molds and you can find someone to type them out."

Di Zhaowei felt hurt and squatted in the corner.

"I'll try it first to see if I can do it." Xiaoer raised her head and asked Shangguan Xuanyi, who was much taller than her, "Can I pick someone to come over and help?"

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded.

Di Zhaowei said to the middle-aged man: "Manager Tong, gather the people here and let Miss Xiaoer pick someone."

"No, just that person will do." Xiaoer pointed to the person standing in the corner who was working intently. She walked around just now and found that the person was the most serious and focused, and his movements were the neatest.

Manager Tong hurriedly shouted: "Lin Sheng, come here. Others come and take a look too."

Lin Sheng wiped the sweat from his face and body with the sweat towel hanging around his neck, "What do you want Manager Tong to do?"

"Miss Xiaoer needs your help." In fact, Manager Tong was surprised that his master found such a little girl to make colored glaze, but he also had eyes for it. This little girl behaved generously and decently. When she entered the workshop and saw the There was no look of surprise at all, he was just looking at everything very seriously and attentively. In such a high temperature environment, even after staying for a while, he felt that his clothes were soaked due to the heat, but her expression remained unchanged, as if the outside world The temperature had no effect on her at all, as if she were standing in a garden as warm as spring.

Xiao'er said to him: "Uncle Lin, you will cooperate with me later and write down what I say and do. Can you do that?"

Lin Sheng is a person who usually talks little and only knows how to immerse himself in work. However, he is a real person and does not boast in order to gain credit in front of his master. "I will try my best."

Xiaoer nodded and put on the masks and gloves she had prepared in advance, and began to weigh the ingredients according to the formula she remembered. "These raw materials must be configured according to a certain proportion, so that the glass produced in this way will be more transparent." More perfect. After the raw materials are prepared, grind all the raw materials, then add them together and stir evenly, and stir in the same direction when stirring."

Manager Tong hurriedly ordered people to take out the weighed raw materials and grind them. After grinding them, Lin Sheng said, "I'll do it, girl." He was strong and stirred quickly.

Xiaoer nodded secretly, she was a wise person.

When he was almost stirring, Xiaoer used a small shovel to shovel some out and took a look, "That's about it." After saying that, he glanced at Lin Sheng again, and Lin Sheng nodded, indicating that he remembered.

Xiaoer asked someone to increase the fire in the kiln pool. When the fire in the kiln pool was so strong that even standing one meter away could feel the burning heat on his skin, he nodded and glanced at Lin Sheng, "This heat is for you." You must remember the feeling. When the fire is so strong and your body feels so hot, the temperature in the kiln pool is enough to put the raw materials in. During this period, the fire must be maintained well and not weakened. The fire can be bigger, but it can’t be any weaker.”

Lin Sheng nodded and melted the raw materials in the kiln, with an open flame heating the top of the glass liquid.

"The second step will be completed when the raw materials are heated at high temperatures to form a uniform glass liquid without bubbles. The glass liquid must be heated until it is uniform and has no bubbles at all."

After a while, Xiaoer saw that the colored glaze liquid in the kiln pool had become even and bubble-free before she shouted to stop. Then she glanced at Lin Sheng again: "Remember, it just looks like this."

Lin Sheng glanced attentively at the glass liquid inside and nodded.

"After the glass liquid is made, because it is liquid, it can be shaped as you wish. The shaping must be carried out at a certain temperature, otherwise it will not be done when it cools down." Xiaoer took a blowpipe and asked Lin Sheng assisted in picking out a ball of glass liquid with a fire ball from the kiln pool. He quickly blew it with the blowpipe a few times and then put it back into the kiln pool for heating. Repeated this several times, the fire glass ball continued to grow in size.

The people next to me watched without blinking. They saw Xiaoer move quickly, pinching here with pliers, pinching in another place, then cutting there with scissors, pinching in this way, Pluck it. Finally, after turning the blowpipe several times, the red glass ball formed a unique cup-like object with a graceful arc and unique shape.

"The last step is annealing. This step is very critical. If you let it cool down all at once, the glazed product will easily break on its own in the future. Therefore, you need to maintain a certain temperature after making it, and then let it cool down slowly. Some time in case it breaks on its own later.”

Then Xiaoer worked with Lin Sheng to pull out a small piece of flat glass. Everyone was stunned by Xiaoer's miraculous skills. What a dozen of them had been studying for two months was easily made by such a young girl. This was a huge shock.

Several people left the workshop that looked like a steam oven, and after dinner, they went to the accounting room. Shangguan Xuanyi played with the crystal clear glass cup in his hand. It was hard for him to believe that this was a cup that he had heard others mention and could make it once. Thinking of the girl's series of movements, they were as smooth and fast as flowing water, as if they had been practiced countless times. He glanced at the little girl who was drinking tea. Her face was still reddish from being exposed to high temperatures for a long time, and she was very thin. It was hard to imagine how this thin girl could have so many novel things in her mind.

"Girl, you are really amazing!" Di Shaowei has only admired one person in his life, Shangguan Xuanyi, and now there is another one, and this one is even more evil!

If Xiaoer knew what Kuan was thinking, she would definitely say that your life has just begun!

"As you can see, it's actually quite simple, and I'm born with extraordinary comprehension!" Xiaoer deliberately showed the triumphant expression of a child after being praised.

Both of them were dumbfounded by Li's arrogance!

"Now I have made Liuli. Here are the detailed production methods and precautions for Liuli." Xiaoer took out the information prepared last night, and Xiao Fuzi stepped forward to take it and handed it to Shangguan Xuanyi.

"I will draw some more tools and molds now, and there will be more types of things made with colored glaze in the future."

Xiao'er took out the charcoal pens prepared in advance, and Xiao Fuzi spread the paper on the table. She thought for a moment, then lowered her head and started drawing seriously and quickly.

After Xiaoer finished drawing the picture, they went back. When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, Shangguan Xuanyi handed Xiaoer a beautiful wooden box. Xiaoer did not accept it, but asked with eyes.

"Just a few enlightenment books and calligraphy stickers for Jing Rui and Jing Hao."

After hearing this, Xiaoer took it, thanked her, and got off the carriage to go home.
