Chapter 76 It's That Simple

Yang Dahu received news from Yang Dayuan this morning, so he had been waiting in the blacksmith shop. Several apprentices and helpers had already rushed home. At this time, he was the only one in the blacksmith shop, and even the coal in the stove had already been lit.

"Brother Qi, is the matter done?" Seeing Zhao Qi and others coming, Yang Dahu, who had already been waiting for a long time, hurriedly opened the yard door and greeted him.

"Uncle Dahu don't worry, the money has been received. Now the second young master is here to learn how to repair glass. No idle people are allowed to stay. You personally teach the two craftsmen brought by the second young master, and then the matter will be rotten in your stomach!" Zhao Qi nodded with a smile.

"That's good, that's good!" Yang Dahu breathed a long sigh of relief, and his black and red face became extremely relaxed.

Although he didn't know how much money he got, no matter how much it was, it was a surprise to him.

Because Zhao Qi, Yang Dayuan and others were operating from beginning to end, he was just helping to pull the bellows and get the shot.

For him, this was a purely money-picking transaction, which was simply outrageous.

The next thing was relatively simple. The second young master ordered a group of servants to guard the blacksmith shop outside, and then he took two craftsmen and Zhao Qi and Yang Dahu into the blacksmith shop and closed the door of the room.

Some of the broken glasses brought with them were pounded into fine powder in an iron mortar, and then placed in a crucible and placed in a semi-enclosed coal stove. A craftsman pulled a bellows and a craftsman was responsible for making a simple sand turning mold with mud and sand.

As the coal fire burned violently, the glass slag in the crucible began to emit red light and slowly began to melt.

During this process, Zhao Qi and Yang Dahu demonstrated carefully while demonstrating, including the transformation of coal stoves, the temperature of the furnace, the key points when casting, etc.

Since it was a technology transfer and the Lu family gave enough money, Zhao Qi did not intend to hide his personal information, so he taught very carefully. The two craftsmen sent by the Lu family were obviously both masters, and they quickly made several processes clear.

Half an hour later, the melted glass liquid was poured into the sand mold.

More than ten minutes later, a craftsman dug out a glass bowl of regular shape from the sand with a surprised face.

"Haha, the second young master, it's successful, it's indeed better than the big cannibal glass!"

Looking at this yellow-green garbage glass bowl full of bubbles, two craftsmen danced excitedly.

"It's that simple?" Looking at the frosted glass bowl, Lu Guangping's face thrust hard.

It is indeed good-looking, and it also turns a pile of worthless broken glass into a valuable complete glass bowl, but he instantly feels like he is being deceived.

The whole process was so simple that it made him short-circuit his head and he could not accept the ending at all.

Even Yang Dahu nodded with a slight concern. If Yang Dayuan and Zhao Qi had not given any advice in advance, he would have definitely been in line with the second young master's post.

"Hey, it's too much to say this. Everything is difficult at the beginning. We have also spent a lot of effort to try it over and over again countless times to succeed. Just like eating a pufferfish, it's delicious, but poisonous. If someone hadn't sacrificed his life to test the method of making pufferfish, people in the world would not be able to taste the deliciousness of pufferfish. Therefore, the second young master cannot reject the efforts made by others just because he saw it in front of him. Ask the two craftsmen, if they hadn't seen it today, could they think of this method to repair the glass?" Zhao Qiyi pointed out Lu Guangping's wrong thoughts in righteousness.

"Second Young Master, Zhao Dalang is right. This is like burning porcelain. Although it looks simple, the material process and temperature are accumulated by countless generations. It is not done in one day. If we had not seen it today and participated in it personally, we would not have guessed that the broken glass could be melted in a crucible. This is the key trick to repair glass!" An old craftsman held the glass bowl and nodded repeatedly in agreement with Zhao Qi's statement.

"Tsk tsk! Although it is the same glass, it is obvious that we recast it much more beautiful. After comparing it, we found that the skills of Dashi Manzi are simply unsightly."

Another middle-aged craftsman held a large glass jar brought by him, and placed two pieces of glass together. By comparison, the craftsmanship and quality are judged immediately.

"Second Young Master, do you want to repair it and get familiar with the process?" Zhao Qi reminded.

"I've used up all the broken glass. When I go back and find more, I'll get to know you later!" Lu Guangping shook his head with an ugly look like constipation.

"Crash~" Zhao Qi threw the large glass jar in the hand of the craftsman and smashed it into pieces. Before a group of people came to their senses, they picked up the iron pestle and pounded it a few times.

"Zhao Dalang, what are you doing?" Lu Guangping yelled in amazement.

"It's better to make a new glass jar like this ugly, right!" Zhao Qi looked up and grinned at the second young master.

"Yes, Second Young Master, we can pound all the Dashi glasses and make them again. In this way, the Dashi glasses on the market are not as good as ours!"

"Yes, this method is good. Do it again and make it into the style that we Song people like. You can even make some patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish inside and outside. It is definitely a hundred times better than Dashi Glass!"

The two craftsmen woke up and shouted together.

"Well, it's good. Prime Minister Ding's banquet will be seven or eight days. Let's move quickly. We can take three days to make a lot of them again. At that time, these new glass objects will inevitably alarm the entire capital. If they can be presented to the emperor, our Ding family will be developed. Haha, hurry up, don't be too slow, and get familiar with the method again and go back quickly!" Lu Guangping also instantly recalled what Zhao Qi said that day, and immediately danced and urged him excitedly.

Another half an hour later, Lu Guangping rushed out of the blacksmith shop with two craftsmen in his arms.

"Second Young Master, remember to keep it secret!" Zhao Qi chased out of the blacksmith shop and shouted loudly.

"Save it, let's forget about this!" Lu Guangping disappeared on the small path at the entrance of the village in an instant, surrounded by a group of servants, as if he was chased by a dog.

"It's done, Brother Qi, how much did the Lu family promise to give?" Yang Dahu also strode out of the blacksmith shop with sweat.

Zhao Qi stretched out two fingers while wiping sweat.

"Two thousand guan, hahaha..." Yang Dahu's mouth broke into the back of his head with a smile.

"Uncle Dahu, it's 20,000 yuan!" Zhao Qi made a careful correction.

"What?"

"Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Yang Dahu's legs were soft and he bumped into the door frame in horror, and he fell to the ground.
