Wei and Jin cooks

Ji Yuan was his staff, so Zhao Hanzhang naturally did not hide it from him and said bluntly: "I don't want to make porcelain, this workshop makes colored glaze."

Ji Yuan reached out and took out his ears, "What are you talking about burning?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "Liu Li!"

Ji Yuan:......

He looked at Zhao Hanzhang silently and said nothing.

Zhao Hanzhang spread his hands and said, "I'm serious."

Ji Yuan said seriously: "Sanniang, I am also serious. This kind of thing is not something to joke about."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him silently.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Ji Yuan's eyes gradually widened, he opened his mouth, and it took a long time before he asked, "Sanniang knows how to bake?"

It can't be the recipe given by Master Lang. He has been with Zhao Changyu for many years, but he has never heard him mention it.

Zhao Hanzhang: "I can't, but Mr. Fu Dalang can."

Ji Yuan was surprised. Although he doubted the authenticity of this matter, seeing Zhao Hanzhang's determination, he decided to wait and see what would happen.

Ji Yuan began to squat in the workshop every day, and even his official duties were moved to the workshop to be handled.

He wanted to see if Mr. Fu Dalang really knew, or if he was just fooling around to please their three mothers.

Then I saw Fu Tinghan changed into a pair of narrow-sleeved fine linen clothes, which was much lighter. He climbed up and down the fire with the craftsman to check the temperature.

Although he couldn't see anything.

Fu Tinghan put the crushed quartz sand and limestone into the furnace and burned it. The craftsman watched blankly. When all the materials were burned, he realized, "No wonder the steward specifically asked when he came to select people, if anyone could blacksmith. Or someone who boils molten iron, it turns out that this is similar to boiling iron."

Fu Tinghan felt his face was burning, so he handed over the follow-up work to him. He stepped aside with his face flushed and asked, "So are you experienced in blacksmithing?"

"Fortunately," the craftsman said, "my cousin is a blacksmith. I have learned some skills from my grandfather before, and after seeing this kind of work for a long time, I will understand that it is similar to our porcelain making."

Upon hearing this, Fu Tinghan asked: "There is a blacksmith named Lu in Xiping County..."

"Oh, he is my cousin. Have you met Mr. Da Lang?"

Fu Tinghan nodded, "I met him in Xiping County a few days ago."

The materials in the furnace turned into water. Fu Tinghan unskilledly rolled a ball of glass water in a pre-made iron pipe and took it out. He put it on the rotating stand and blew air while rotating it. The fire-yellow glass water slowly expanded and became transparent. stand up……

Ji Yuan couldn't help but put down what he was doing and walked up to take a look.

Fu Tinghan blew for a while. After the glass water cooled down, he held the iron pipe back to the furnace, put the blown glass ball into the furnace, took it out after soaking in enough glass water, and continued to blow...

The glass ball expanded more and more, and finally stopped when it was as big as a small vase.

Fu Tinghan felt very tired. He looked at the glass bottle at the other end of the iron pipe and felt that he could no longer blow it, so he took the iron pipe back and put it on another kiln, letting the fire burn the bottom of the glass bottle. Clumsily smooth the glass bottle, and then evenly cut off the glass opening connected to the iron pipe...

Wait for the glass to cool and the bottle to take shape.

Everyone in the workshop looked at the glass bottle in a daze.

Fu Tinghan also looked at it blankly. The bottom of the glass bottle was rounded, unevenly rounded, and a little curved, just like a standing person who has a stomachache and bends down to cover his stomach.

His face was a little red. He didn't expect that the glass would be produced so often without some equipment. He hurriedly said to Ji Yuan, "I'll break it now. Let me blow it again."

After saying that he was about to smash the glass bottle, Ji Yuan grabbed him and stared at the transparent glass bottle tightly, "No, it can't be broken. This is an excellent bottle!"

Fu Tinghan: ...Are the aesthetics of people in the Jin Dynasty so distorted?

Ji Yuan stared at the glass bottle with bright eyes and confirmed again and again, "It is indeed the same as glass. It can hold liquid and won't leak?"

"Although it looks ugly, there will be no problem with its performance," Fu Tinghan is still confident about this. "When it cools down completely, Mr. Ji can try filling it with water."

The glass cooled quickly. Ji Yuan approached carefully and put his finger into the mouth of the bottle. He could clearly see the fingers inside the bottle outside. The craftsmen who were watching all let out exclamations.

Ji Yuan was also amazed. He turned around and looked at Fu Tinghan with bright eyes and said, "Fu Dalang is a great talent."

Fu Tinghan said modestly: "I don't dare to take it."

"Whoever dares to do it, whoever dares to do it," Ji Yuan held his hand with both hands, with an excited expression on his face, "Master Lang and Sanniang are indeed very discerning. Master Lang is an excellent person."

Such a treasure can be made as soon as it is said to be made, and it is made in Sanniang's workshop.

Many thoughts came to Ji Yuan's mind at this moment, and he wanted to go back to find Zhao Hanzhang with the glass bottle in his arms.

But there was still glass water in the furnace at this time. He wanted to see the process of making glass again, so he reluctantly held back.

Fu Tinghan also wanted to try again. Of course, not only he but also the craftsmen wanted to try. After all, they were mainly the ones doing the rest.

Fu Tinghan's manual skills are average, but he has rich theoretical knowledge. He is average at what he does, but he can give guidance to others.

The three craftsmen blew several pieces of glass under his guidance, and they did all kinds of strange things, but within a few times they were better than him.

Even so, it still didn't look good, so Fu Tinghan simply asked them to blow the glass and cut it, then melt it and flatten it again to make a flat glass mirror.

Fu Tinghan got a flat glass mirror, looked at it and shook his head, "The ratio is wrong and the clarity is not enough. To make a glass mirror, the formula must be changed."

Ji Yuan humbly asked, "Is this recipe difficult to change?"

Fu Tinghan thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be difficult. I'll try it later, but glass blowing is also difficult now. It's difficult to shape. It seems that a mold is needed."

He frowned, "But to make a glass mold, you have to use steel. You have to try adding copper, chromium and tin when casting iron..."

Ji Yuan only understood copper, "Do you need a lot of copper?"

Fu Tinghan shook his head, "Not much, just making molds."

The craftsman on the side couldn't help but said: "Why don't Mr. Lang try porcelain?"

Fu Tinghan: "The temperatures of glass water and fired porcelain are similar. Porcelain may not be able to withstand the high temperature of glass water."

This is why he and Zhao Hanzhang need porcelain-firing craftsmen. The melting temperatures of the two are almost the same. What they lack is the craftsmanship at the kiln entrance. Blacksmiths are rare, so they can only hire porcelain-firing craftsmen.

The craftsmen were very confident, especially the porcelain maker Ding, "Try it, what if it works?"

Fu Tinghan thought so, so he asked people to bring the porcelain cups and bowls.

Ji Yuan watched as they gathered together and carefully poured out a glass and a glass bowl.

His eyes widened, but Fu Tinghan looked at the cups and bowls and was not very satisfied. "It doesn't look good. You can think of ways to print patterns on them or change the colors."

The craftsmen were convinced, "Yes, this mold still needs to be worked on."

Ji Yuan: ...He felt that it was already very good. With just this hand, he could already see gold and silver flying towards him.

See you at 9pm
