Popular peasant wife: mountain man lacks training

Chapter 450
Now that the materials for making glass were available, Lu Nanchuan asked Yu Zezhao to find a skilled craftsman and built a furnace with better airtightness in the ink making workshop.

The fire is made of coal that Yu Zezhao homogenized from his own warehouse. These days, coal is a scarce resource, and not everyone in the wealthy family can afford coal. Yu Zezhao said that the coal was homogenized from his own warehouse, but Lu Nanchuan remained skeptical attitude, but did not delve into it.

All the necessary things were prepared. Lu Nanchuan divided the raw materials into several parts, and the proportion of each part was different. A total of more than 30 parts were made, and they were put in ceramic bowls and put into the kiln for melting and reaction.

The furnace temperature required for firing glass should reach about [-] degrees Celsius to [-] degrees Celsius. At this temperature, it only needs to be calcined for half an hour to an hour.

Therefore, after the fire is ignited, the temperature of the fire is first raised with firewood, and then replaced with coal, which is also to save costs.

Lu Nanchuan started the furnace at six o'clock in the morning, and turned it on at a quarter of noon, and the temperature in the whole room became very high because of the kiln.

After the kiln was uncovered, Lu Nanchuan used a row of bamboo to lift out the hot porcelain bowls, which contained molten liquid, and more than a dozen of them were too cloudy in color, so Lu Nanchuan just took out the molds and made them bead.

As for the other 20 or more copies, Lu Nanchuan blown each of them into various shapes with bamboo tubes, and the two or three parts with the purest color, Lu Nanchuan made a few glass cups, and made the rest Became bamboos of different sizes.

These items were slowly cooled in a gradually changing temperature, and finally finalized. After the finished products came out, Lu Nanchuan counted and numbered the items he had fired one by one, and asked Yu Zezhao to inspect them.

This is the first time to open a furnace, and there are still some unsuccessful places, but the best three glazed cups and glass beads of the same quality that Lu Nanchuan fired are enough to earn back the cost of opening the furnace today, and there is still A lot of surplus.

Yu Zezhao only picked out a box of the best-looking glazed beads and the three crystal clear glazed cups, and didn't want the rest.

Lu Nanchuan is not uncommon for these things. The glass marbles in his previous life cost a few cents, and they were all used to coax children.

Thinking of children, Lu Nanchuan also picked out a dozen or so glazed beads, and planned to keep them as toys for future children. After all, it was the first furnace of glazed products fired by himself, so it should be regarded as a different meaning.

Geng Sang picked out the remaining glazed beads. Geng Sang was not interested in glass things. To compare them, she would rather have some jade of different quality than these things.

These two people are not used to these things, but these things are rare things for Li Yue and other workers. There are very few glazed products in the folklore, and they can't touch them even more.

After Li Yue and the workers divided up the box of glazed products, they immediately fell in love with the ink-making workshop, and the workers worked harder.

Although those glazed beads are not good in appearance, it is a good choice for them to make bead flower jewelry for their wives and daughters, and no one else has seen it before, so it will save face to say it.

"Master, I heard that Lu Nanchuan only wanted more than ten glazed beads, and distributed the rest to the people in the ink workshop. Do you think he is stupid?"
