The servant of Ying, the god of the Red Chamber, only loves farming

The glass factory was also set up, and a crucible kiln stood in the center of the glass factory; Musk Moon was very moved when he saw the crucible kiln from a distance, and the burning flame of the kiln burned with coal was even more provocative. heart itchy.

Muskmoon wants to make glass.

But as a woman, she was able to enter the factory to watch this time because of Baoyu; not to mention her status as a maid.

Musk Moon watched carefully how the workshop craftsmen made glass, and the details of the crucible kiln had already been remembered by Musk Moon.

After returning to the camp, Musk Moon chose an open space in an unremarkable corner next to the camp and secretly built a much smaller crucible kiln.

Musk Moon doesn't have so many materials in hand, most of them are scraps left over from the glass factory building.Baoyu saw that Musk Moon was going out early and returning late these days mysteriously, so he asked Musk Moon; seeing that Musk Moon couldn't hide it, he faltered and told what he had done.

Baoyu followed to see, but saw that Sheyue had made the frame of the crucible kiln very similar; the only difference was that there was a secondary air supply port on the top of the kiln.

【Wow!This maid actually improved the traditional crucible kiln; adding a secondary air supply channel can not only eliminate smoke but also save energy. 】Xiaohua used the system to make a virtual restoration based on Musk Moon's framework.

Sheyue stood aside in embarrassment, although Baoyu usually dotes on her very much, and has a few autumn patterns; but the glass is a serious matter, she secretly built a crucible kiln... Sheyue is like a child who has done something wrong .

"Sheyue, how did you come up with an extra outlet?" Baoyu asked excitedly.

Seeing that Baoyu didn't scold her, Sheyue asked her with great interest. Sheyue carefully asked, "Second Lord, are you not angry?"

Baoyu scratched her little head and said in confusion: "Why are you angry? This method you have thought of is better than the existing crucible kiln! Sheyue, you are so amazing that you actually thought of such a method."

Encouraged by the encouragement, Sheyue spoke out all her thoughts like pouring beans, Baoyu simply rolled up her sleeves and worked with Sheyue to modify the crucible kiln; It took a few days for people to create it.

Musk Moon looked at the crucible kiln excitedly. With this kiln, it is one step closer to making glass.

Baoyu and the king of Beijing asked for some glass-making materials, and wanted to hand them over to Sheyue for research.Feldspar and limestone are fine, but this soda ash is relatively compact.

Simply, King Beijing knew that Baoyu was a sensible child, and he would be useful, so he divided some of each.

Baoyu got these materials and called Xiren and Qiuwen to help move them to Sheyue.

The small crucible kiln also burst into flames, and Musk Moon suddenly seemed to be a different person, chanting in his mouth and recording something with a pen and paper; on the contrary, Xiren was taken aback.

Musk Moon, are you dazed?

Qiu Wen took it for granted and comforted: "As long as Musk Moon touches these bottles and cans, it's like a different person. It will be normal when she researches something."

Only then did Xiren feel relieved and went back with Qiuwen.

Musk Moon enjoys studying the manufacture of glass every day, and Musk Moon found that the ratio of limestone to soda ash is very important through repeated experiments.

If you put too much limestone, the glass will become brittle; while soda ash will make the glass clear and bright.

And these feldspars, Musk Moon found that the glass made from some colored ores would also have the color of some ores.

Is there something in these ores that determines the color of the bolide?Musk Moon is obsessed with this process of constantly discovering problems and continuing to think.

And there was a rumor in the camp.

The maid next to Master Baoyu was making glass.

The rumor fell to the ears of the glassmakers, and it sounded harsh to them.The apprentice in the hands of the old craftsman complained loudly: "Master, you have traveled thousands of miles to this bitter cold place to study glass, but the prince doesn't trust us and let a girl secretly study it. Isn't this a slap in the face of you? "

The glass factory has never seen a woman come in!

These apprentices learn skills from the master master, and they are all passed on from male to female.

The apprentice made a noise, and the other young and vigorous people in the glass factory also booed.

The apprentice who took the lead said: "Since the lord doesn't like us, let's go on strike!" The teacher scolded: "Wang San! You dare to say any nonsense, are you going to die!"

After being drank by the old man, those young people stopped talking but there was a sense of dissatisfaction in their hearts.

The old man cleared his throat, knocked the pipe in his hand and said: "It's just a rumor, if you don't believe me, just ask." The old man glanced at the apprentice named Wang San and said: "Let's lead These people are fooling around, so don't recognize me as a master."

Wang Sanyi hurriedly begged for mercy after hearing this sentence, he has not yet learned the craft, if he is abandoned by his master at this time, I am afraid that there will be no other master willing to teach him; he will have no chance to talk about this glass industry.

The old man drove off the apprentices and went to the camp alone. He wanted to find Zhou Fu first to find out the situation; but when he arrived at the camp, he learned that Zhou Fu had gone to the mine and hadn't returned yet. After deliberating for a while, the old man followed the instructions of the camp guards. direction went.

When the old craftsman walked to the corner next to the camp, Musk Moon was busy; the old craftsman was taken aback by a very neatly dressed little girl.Musk Moon was concentrating on the experimental things in her hands, and didn't notice that there was another person coming out around; the old craftsman also stopped calling people's thoughts, and stood quietly watching Musk Moon tinkering.

Musk Moon looks young, but the work at hand is not unfamiliar, but it is a little clumsy because no one is leading it; Musk Moon mixed the raw materials of the glass according to the ratio he estimated and poured it into the crucible. When the charcoal fire was about to be put in, a voice behind her stopped her: "The fire is not strong enough, add two pieces of charcoal." She Yue was so frightened by this call that she stopped her hands and almost dropped the crucible in her hand to the ground .

The old craftsman trotted forward to catch it, and said, "Hold it firmly." Then he took two coals from the coal bag beside the crucible and threw them into the burner.The fire in the kiln was burning hotter, and Sheyue was a little at a loss; she was afraid that except for Baoyu Xiren and other acquaintances, she would walk around when she saw her.Such a big living person suddenly appeared beside her, and Musk Moon was a little apprehensive.

"Don't be distracted, just watch the fire." The old craftsman stared at the fire in the kiln, and Musk Moon was gradually infected by this concentration and turned his gaze to the fire; "It's all right, now put the crucible in."

Musk Moon did as the old man said, and the ore in the crucible quickly melted and condensed into a lump at high temperature; the old man looked suspiciously at the smoke floating above the kiln, and then turned his attention to the glowing fluid burning in the crucible During the period, the old man adjusted the size of the fire a few times and saw that it was almost melted and said to Musk Moon: "Okay, take it out."

The old man's words were simple and clear. She Yue took out the crucible and looked at her brows and eyes with joy; this is the state she wants!Musk Moon groped for the best heat to melt the ore, but couldn't control it well, and the quality of the glass made was not good.

"Don't be in a daze to shape the glass." Musk Moon settled down and took the mold she made, put the melted fluid into the mold, formed it, and annealed it. The old craftsman always reminded Musk Moon that the problems that plagued her in the past were all solved. After the temperature dropped, Musk Moon carefully took out the glass from the mold.

This time the glass is done!

It is better than the ones she tried alone in the past.

The old man took the square glass into his palm to observe, and the old man tapped the glass plate, making a crisp sound.This piece of glass is very clear, and there are very few bubbles inside; especially this piece of glass is slightly green.

The old craftsman looked very surprised, "How does this glass only show one color? And this texture...how is it so hard." She Yue blushed and felt a little embarrassed, and put a glass on the desk. After handing the stack of papers to the old man, he said: "I have found through repeated experiments that the color of the glass is due to other ingredients in the ore." She Yue took another piece from the desk and showed it to the old man, saying: "For example, add some copper powder to it, This glass is green now."

The old craftsman didn't speak. He pointed to the crucible kiln with a complicated expression for a long time and said, "You remodeled this kiln based on the kiln in the glass factory." She is very familiar with glass and should be the craftsman of the glass factory; will she be blamed for building the furnace secretly?

Seeing that he was frightened by Musk Moon, the old man softened his tone and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm just curious how you managed to reduce the smoke from the kiln? Moreover," the old man continued to observe the kiln for a while: "This The solution should be to burn the cinders in the dust and smoke again." The old man rubbed his chin, this method is wonderful!

He only discovered the key to this just after throwing coals in, "Yes...it's the air outlet." Musk Moon whispered.

The old man suddenly stared at the kiln and took a closer look: "You have added another air supply vent on the top! Sure enough, it's wonderful!" When the old man looked at Sheyue again, there was more admiration in his eyes.

The old man thought for a while and said to Musk Moon: "Girl, would you like to go to see Mr. Zhou Fu with me; then we will go to see the prince together?" She Yue panicked and thought that the craftsman was going to expose her to Zhou Fu and the prince. Yue took a few steps back holding the piece of glass in her hand.

The old man hurriedly explained: "Girl, don't panic, I don't mean any harm; I just want to take the girl to see Lord Zhou Fu and tell him the beauty of this kiln, and the results of the girl." The old craftsman's voice at this time Some excitedly said: "If a girl joins the glass factory, I'm afraid we will be able to make the glass that the prince and Mr. Zhou want soon!"

Seeing the old man, Sheyue didn't seem like a liar, half-believing and half-doubting just when Baoyu came to look for Sheyue; "Muskinyue, let me see what results you have today..." Baoyu walked up to Sheyue and subconsciously stood up to hold Sheyue Guard behind.

Seeing that Baoyu misunderstood him as a villain, the old craftsman waved his hands and explained: "This girl fired high-quality glass. I just wanted to tell Master Zhou and the prince about this good thing in a moment of excitement."
