Great Song

After returning to the Han Mansion, Zhen Qiong was pinned down by the doctor Guo, who made a diagnosis and treatment, prescribed three or four plasters, and strictly ordered not to do anything, not to eat hair, so as to rest.As a result, the small burns were as if they were disabled, the alchemy furnace was not allowed to be used, and the distiller was also controlled by a special person. He was detained by Han Miao's side to study the method of rose water.

"Brother Yu, I don't know if the incense that I found in the past few days will come in handy?" Han Miao walked into the room with a smile, followed by several servants, who brought in a bunch of spice boxes.

Zhen Qiongmu looked over, and didn't want to ask what was in the box.In the past two days, too many things have been stuffed into his room, not only all kinds of spices, but also incense powder, incense pills, incense cakes, incense ointment, incense mud, incense charcoal, even hair oil, noodles, etc. I brought a lot of things like fat, not to mention the taste when put together!He is a big man, how can he understand these things?It's not as good as the medicine in the alchemy room!

How could Han Miao not know Zhen Qiong's attitude towards Hualu, but he still had to be punished for messing with the kiln and causing disaster.For the past two days, he has been stuffing spices in his room, isn't it just to see this pitiful appearance?

Smiling slightly, Han Miao did not mention the fact that the smell of essential oils will change a little after they are stored in the cellar, but sighed softly: "The oil immersion method you mentioned earlier seems to be similar to hair oil. If you immerse osmanthus in the oil Or jasmine, after a while, it will be able to bring the fragrance of the flower. It's just that the fragrance is not as long-lasting and strong as rose water, and it is always a bit greasy."

These days were unbearable torture, Zhen Qiong also racked her brains and thought of many ways.Unexpectedly, he thought that the oil immersion method was something that had existed for a long time, so he couldn't help being disappointed.Gritting her teeth and thinking for a while, Zhen Qiong really came up with an idea: "Alcohol can also dissolve oil and absorb flavors. Maybe you can use alcohol as a base to soak in the aroma!"

"Alcohol?" Han Miao raised his eyebrows.He didn't expect that such teasing could really squeeze out new things.Just alcohol and what?Some kind of new wine?

Zhen Qiong hurriedly explained: "The essence left over from the distillation of spirits is alcohol. It can also be used in alchemy and healing. This alcohol has a strong ability to dissolve oil, so it should be usable!"

These things were all researched by the "Herbal School", and he was not very familiar with them.But I still know a thing or two about the method of distilling alcohol, so I quickly threw the things to Han Miao and let him make toilet water by himself!

There are other sayings?It's a pity that the Han family doesn't make wine, so they have to find some way to make some steamed wine.After thinking for a while, Han Miao asked again: "If it is made into alcohol, how do we melt the fragrance into it?"

"Put some essential oils, or soak spices in it?" Zhen Qiong saw that the job could be rejected, and immediately got serious, thinking for a moment and then said, "Maybe oil is also okay. Couldn't the sweet-scented osmanthus oil from before be able to extract the flavor?" , get some pig fat, absorb the fragrance of flowers, then soak it in alcohol, maybe it will become flower dew!"

Han Miao knows how to make fragrances, which is an elegant taste of literati, whether it is doing business or making friends, it is very useful.What's more, Han Xianggong is also a master incense maker. He lived in Tokyo when he was young and was taught by him, so he has a solid foundation.It is precisely because of this that Han Miao knows very well that lard and pig pancreas are often used in facial fat and hair oil. Medical books also say that goose pancreas is nourishing, and it is best used in facial cleansing medicine.

If these things can really absorb the fragrance of flowers, maybe they can also increase the value of the flower dew.A lot of ideas came to Han Miao's mind immediately, but it might be difficult for Zhen Qiong, a guy with a rusty nose, to do it. He still needs to find a few experienced perfumers and explore slowly.

With so many new ideas, Han Miao stopped tormenting the trail, ordered people to remove the spices, let him have a good rest, and went down to arrange various matters by himself.

The steamed wine was also quickly transported into the alchemy room, and alcohol began to be refined.The strong smell of alcohol wafted away, making Zhen Qiong's face blush, but he had long been used to it, so he wasn't afraid, and he found some fun in alchemy.

Fortunately, the days of confinement did not last too long.A month later, the injury on Zhen Qiong's arm was almost healed, and good news came from the kiln factory. The trial production of the new furnace was successful, and it can be officially fired.

"My hands are all healed! Can I make glass?" Zhen Qiong rolled up her sleeves and showed Han Miao her white and tender arms with only some shallow scars.I wish I could rub it again to show how neat I am.

He was detained for a month to heal his wounds. Now that the new furnace has been repaired, Han Miao wants to take a look, so he nodded and smiled and said, "It's all right. Brother Yu also wants to see the magic of glass refining."

In his opinion, the glassware given by Zhen Qiong is enough, so what should the glass that he wants to refine look like?

Zhen Qiong immediately patted her chest and said: "Brother Han, don't worry, this time the furnace will definitely not be blown up!"

Han Miao: "..."

It's okay not to say, but he became worried instead.

■

Although worried, Han Miao took Zhen Qiong to the kiln.The newly made kiln is located at the deepest part of the mountain, and it is specially secluded out of the shed for placement.However, despite some mental preparations, Han Miao was a little surprised when he saw the kiln.

This furnace is not like a kiln for firing pottery or porcelain. It has a huge cave, which can hold all kinds of clay embryos. It is a bit like a furnace in a blacksmith's shop. Not to mention its small size, it also has a sloping discharge port. It seems to pour out the refined things.

Looking at the stove with such a strange shape, Han Miao had some understanding: "No wonder when it comes to glassware, they are all blown. It turns out that they are not fired, but shaped like molten iron outside the furnace."

This conjecture is indeed close to the truth, but Zhen Qiong has already rolled up her sleeves and started to prepare the ingredients, no matter what the layman thinks.In order to choose suitable firing materials, he searched through hundreds of stone materials in the past two months, and only then did he choose the most suitable one.It's just that the final result still needs to be burned in the furnace to see.

After pouring the mixed stone chips into the furnace, Zhen Qiong took a step back and raised the volume: "Fan the wind!"

The kiln worker who was watching by the side immediately pulled up the bellows with all his strength, and the coals in the furnace were ignited by the hot wind.It was only half a quarter of an hour, and the room was full of steam, making people sweat profusely. Fortunately, the shed is not badly ventilated, and the kiln also has a long smoke outlet, so that people don't feel too choked.

Han Miao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring straight at the narrow open furnace mouth, and saw that the stone chips inside began to dissolve like grease that had been exposed to fire, turning into a dazzling slurry, just like iron smelting. The molten iron at that time was exactly the same.No, it might be a little hotter than molten iron!It was only at this moment that Han Miao really felt the difference in this kiln. It was so high temperature, no wonder it would be burned down!Can it last until the glass comes out of the oven this time?

Just as his mind was turning and thinking, Zhen Qiong suddenly rushed to the stove, stretched out his arms, and threw something into it.

Han Miao's heart tightened, and he couldn't help calling out: "Ah Qiong is back!"

Zhen Qiong didn't hear the cry, and didn't move half a step away. Instead, she placed a thick cloth on the iron rod and vigorously stirred the pot of molten liquid.If the furnace blows up at this moment, or the molten liquid in it overflows, it is not afraid that half of life will be lost.However, Zhen Qiong turned a blind eye to the danger that was close at hand, and just stood by the stove. After a while, she was sweating profusely, her clothes were soaked, and even her face was blackened by soot. How could she still look like a fairy?Except for the Taoist robes, they are no different from the kiln workers in short clothes, long trousers and aprons.

Shocked by the scene for a moment, Han Miao shut his mouth, and Anping beside him wanted to step forward, but he also stopped him.Just so motionless, looking at the trail not far away.I don't know how long I waited, the pot of stones finally melted into a slurry like gold soup.

"It's done! Take the blowpipe!" Zhen Qiong suddenly shouted and stepped back half a step.Zhang Yaotou, who was waiting at the side, immediately picked up the iron pipe and leaned forward.

Burning pottery to make embryos is an ancestral skill of Zhang Yaotou, who can easily pull out mud embryos thinner than paper.However, this job of blowing glass is new.He didn't distinguish between day and night, and he practiced for an unknown amount of time, isn't it just for this moment?

The iron pipe was gently stirred in the glass liquid, bringing out a thick ball, Zhang Kiln head turned the blower slightly, puffed up the cheeks and blew, the gold liquid shook, trembled slightly, and swelled stand up.

Is this blown?Han Miao couldn't help opening his eyes wide, and saw that after Zhang Yaotou had blown out the rough shape, he quickly put the iron pipe on a drawing machine, lightly stepped on the wheel with his feet, and held the iron brazing rod in his hand, lightly fiddled with the ball. Glass.Obviously it should be extremely hard glass, but at this moment it is like soft liquid, changing shape with the spinning wheel shaft and iron braze, until the wheel stops, it turns into the shape of a utensil that can be seen in daily life.

It was a cup with a wide mouth, the same width from top to bottom, and a sharp depression on the mouth, which should be used to discharge water, and the shape was very strange.However, no matter how strange his appearance was, it couldn't match the shock in his heart at this moment.Han Miao has seen how to make pottery, and also knows how to smelt iron and forge with a hammer, but neither of them can compare with blowing glass!It is too relaxed, too elegant, and too magical, just like nature fiddled with it, turning the originally dark and hard stone into a smooth and round treasure.Even seeing it with my own eyes is jaw-dropping, unbelievable!

"Wonderful..." Looking at the small glass, Han Miao couldn't help sighing.

"Hey, this is the power of good fortune!" A voice cut in.

Han Miao raised his head and saw that Zhen Qiong had come to his side. The sweat on his face should have been wiped off with his sleeve, but now one line was black and the other was white, which looked rather funny.But his eyes were bright, his spirit was flying high, and he said loudly: "The achievement of conquering the world shows the great power of nature. We can also create what can be born naturally. This is a shortcut with technology!"

To melt quartz stone, a high temperature of at least [-] Baidu is required, but adding calcite, limestone, arsenic, nitrate and other substances can lower the melting temperature and obtain crystal clear glass with few impurities.This is not the power of good fortune, what is it? !

This sentence, like hitting a yellow bell, is deafening.Han Miao looked at the trail that was completely different from the past, and suddenly felt admiration in his heart.Even if he is greedy and afraid of getting into trouble, and doesn't look upright all day long, this person still has a heart of Taoism, a heart of a child as crystal clear as this glass!

In comparison, he, a worldly person, seemed filthy.Although gold and silver are good, the smell of copper is hard to get rid of.

Sighing lightly, Han Miao said seriously, "Brother Yu underestimated you. This kind of power of creation is really admirable."

Hearing the compliment from the other party, Zhen Qiong almost turned her tail up.you do not say!In just two months, he made the repeated experiment!It's still the whole process from beginning to end, starting from the construction of the kiln!Even in the Dayi Dynasty, this is a skill worthy of praise!

Now even Han Miao is shocked by him, how many glassware do you want in the future?It doesn't hurt to smash it!

The thought of being able to live a life in which all kinds of solutions are poured into the glass, Zhen Qiong feels comfortable all over, better than holding two popsicles in the dog days!

Looking at Zhen Qiong's excited little face, Han Miao couldn't help but smiled: "I'm afraid I can make a lot of money once the glass comes out, and save ten years of hard work. Whatever you want, brother, just come through. All will agree."

This is no longer something that can be repaid by division and profit, and he doesn't mind Zhen Qiong making more demands.As long as he can do what he can, he will never be stingy!

what do you want? There was a sound of "goo", and there was a sound in the stomach.Zhen Qiong swallowed her saliva: "Uh, I want to eat hot pot..."

These days, he was soaked in the kiln, researching materials day and night, and then got injured and was fed porridge and side dishes for a long time.He is really greedy, it's getting cold, isn't it a good time to eat hot pot?

Han Miao frowned: "What is hot pot?"

"Just get a copper pot and boil some mutton, beef, etc..." Zhen Qiong licked her lips and emphasized, "I can eat hair!"

Han Miao: "..."

All the thoughts that were full of turmoil were completely wiped out at this moment.Seeing Zhen Qiong's longing eyes, Han Miao couldn't help laughing, shaking his head while laughing, "So it's the Boxia offering. Since my virtuous brother wants to eat, I'll order someone to prepare it."

Jinshan Yinhai, rich clothing and fine food, may be really useless to him, right?

So, well.

The author has something to say: Daoist Zhen: What?Jinshan Yinhai can have it? ? ?Thanks to QAQ

Han Miao: ...

It seems that the Arabian side only mastered the method of making perfume with alcohol in the 12th century. Daoist Zhen accidentally advanced it by a hundred years, which is really an accident. Hehehe =w=
