Zhao Qi, the raw material of glass, naturally knew that just ordinary quartz sand was enough. Of course, I picked up a bunch of crystal stones at hand and the glass made was of better quality, but the color would be messy.

But no matter which material you use, you can definitely make glass.

However, to successfully make glass, materials alone are not enough, and there are also stoves, coals, bellows, crucibles, molds and other items, which are not available at the moment.

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Qi came back with the hunchbacked old man Liu, carrying two fish cages in his hand.

"This is helpless, the glass cannot be repaired... Cough cough cough cough cough..."

He hurried into the cave and saw the broken glass bottle that Zhao Qi brought back. Old Man Liu held the yellow-green translucent broken bottle full of bubbles and kept shaking his hands, panting like a bellows.

"I promised the second young master of the Lu family to return a new one to him in three days, otherwise everyone in our village would be driven away by the Lu family's business!" Zhao Qi said with a wry smile.

"Make new ones, you... cough cough... you can do it?" Old man Liu stared at Zhao Qi as if he saw an alien.

"Won't!"

I was a fool a few days ago, but I suddenly came back to life and became clear and could explain it. There were also many such cases and legends in ancient times, because the Chinese were not particularly resentful of sudden enlightenment, but suddenly they could make glass, so I couldn't explain this matter clearly. Maybe they would be treated as ghosts and burned to sacrifice to the sky. The mountain god's appearance must try their best to cover it up. It is too cool to be struck by lightning.

Therefore, Zhao Qi shook his head and denied it, but he smiled and said, "Master Liu, have you said that you have made glass in a kiln before? Glass and glass look similar. Since someone can burn glass, you may just need to find the method of making glass to burn glass. I think the secret method of big cannibals to burn glass is not more complicated than that of our porcelain. Look at this glass, the shape of the instrument is erratic and full of bubbles. If we know the method of firing glass, it will definitely look better than what they do!"

"Ahem, what you said is also reasonable. The glass of a big zombie is indeed ugly. We kiln workers say this, but we can't find the method and raw materials, but it only takes three days, so we may not be able to get it out!" Old Man Liu shook his head with a worried face.

"I can only try it now. I asked Uncle Dayuan to help me find a blacksmith shop and try it out tomorrow. It's better to find a crucible, which is a bit difficult to deal with!"

"What are you doing with the cauldron?" Old Man Liu asked in confusion.

"Master Liu, you know that glazing was actually discovered by craftsmen when they were smelting copper and iron. Whether glazing or copper and iron were melted, they were cast with molds after melting. Therefore, I think this glass can be made like this. We put this broken glass jar in a crucible and heat it to see if it can melt. If it can be melted, it will be simple. Just make a sand turning mold to pour it out!"

"Hey, your baby is pretty good. Who will tell you that you are stupid old man will scold him to death next time?"

Old Man Liu's eyes lit up and his face became excited. He tossed and turned around and nodded while watching.

"Glass can also be sintered into the kiln, and this glass should be able to do it too, but there is very little glass and it is very precious. Even if it is broken, no one will discard it. Therefore, no one thought of doing this before. It is indeed possible to try it. Cough cough... Our Liu family quality warehouse has the crucible, which is used to lend money. I will borrow one. Some people can do it in the mold kiln factory. Although the old man is not in the kiln factory, he still knows a few people..."

Old Man Liu was resolute and carefully asked about the size and style of the glass bottle. He then put a few pieces of broken glass together and measured it with his fingers. He put on a straw hat and coughed.

"Master Liu, don't tell others about this!" Zhao Qi chased him to the entrance of the cave and told him loudly.

"I know, I don't even do anything, I said!" Old Man Liu walked in a hurry and quickly went back along the path.

"Brother, Master Liu said can the glass bottle be repaired?" Xiaozhu walked up to ask carefully.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu said he is very sure!"

Zhao Qi touched the little girl's head, then rolled up her trousers and went to a ditch not far away to touch a snail and two clam shells, smashed them with stones, put them into two fish cages, found two hemp ropes to tie the cages, and threw them into the pond in front of the door.

The fish cage was found by Zhao Qi a few days ago. He asked Old Man Liu to help wove it. His body was slender like a cone tube. The bamboo strips at the mouth of the tube were folded inward and put into it. Yaya forks formed a fence. As long as the loach fish swam in from the mouth of the tube, it would be more troublesome to think of it. Moreover, because it was a cone tube, the fish kept drilling forward. Finally, they found that they were all squeezed at the tip and could not turn around. At that time, they put away the basket and pulled out a plug at the bottom and poured out.

In this state where you can't afford meat, it is still necessary to get some loaches and eels for a tooth sacrifice. Moreover, this pure wild loaches and eels are not only nutritious but also very delicious. They are delicious whether they are stir-fried or braised.

Stew the ingredients for onion and ginger until they are cooked. Put some perilla before the pot. The steaming is fragrant and the soup is like silk...

hiss!

When Zhao Qi thought of the pure wild loach smell, he couldn't help but take a sip of saliva.

After getting the fish basket down, Zhao Qi went out with a bamboo basket and a small shovel.

There is a stream north of the village head, which flows out from Yanggong Mountain. A few days ago, a heavy rain caused the stream to soar. After the water receded, the mud, wild grass and branches left in the stream were washed away, and the river beaches were covered with stones of all sizes.

Seven or eight cows were leisurely swaying their tails on the grass on the river beach to eat grass, and many wild birds were hovering around the cattle herd to compete for grasshoppers and insects flying from the grass.

Several bare-ass boys and girls swim in a small pool formed by rinsing water.

The pool is only seven or eight feet wide, but the water quality is clear. The bottom of the pool is several feet deep, and the stones of various colors are flickering with the ripples, making them look very beautiful.

These children are only seven or eight years old, and the younger ones are only four or five years old. At this time, they are all hiking in and out of the pool to play and play, chasing the fish inside or diving into the bottom of the pool to touch some beautiful stones to compete with each other.

A gray-haired old woman was sewing clothes under a big willow tree not far from the pool.

"Grandma Zhang, are you better than your legs?" Zhao Qi walked under the tree and asked with a smile.

"It turns out that she is a kid. She is much better. Didn't you go to work as a helper in the town? Why didn't you go today?" Grandma Zhang put down her needlework and said happily.

"These two days are quite leisurely, so I haven't gone today. Do you know where there are white stones or sand on the nearby river beach?" Zhao Qi said, his eyes wandering on the river beach.

"I have seen white stones. There are more sand on the river beach. You need to find the stones and ask the kids. They are herding cattle on the river beach every day, which is very clear!"

"Grandma, you are busy, I'll ask?" Zhao Qi carried the basket and shovel and walked towards the small pool not far away.

"Walk carefully, the stones will be loose after the water rises!" Grandma Zhang reminded later.
