Suddenly, his son had a job opportunity to make a lot of money. Li Changgui couldn't sit still. He used the excuse to change clothes and ran into the kitchen anxiously. He first scooped a large scoop of cold water in the water tank to drink it to suppress the excitement in his heart, cooling down his boiling blood, and when drinking water, his hands were shaking and unable to hold on.

"Why are you going to have to eat and drink so much cold water? Be careful to cool your stomach. Did Xiaoqi tell you if he wants to ask our San to help, but I don't know what to help..." The woman muttered while cooking, while the girl was just behind the stove to help watch the fire, and at the same time raised her head and looked at her father with confusion.

"Shh, it's a good thing. Do you know what Xiaoqi said just now? He wants to ask San'er to help, and his monthly salary is ten cents!"

"Ten Guan?" The woman trembled her hands and fell into the pot. The girl also exclaimed and hurriedly covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

"Changgui, you...you didn't lie to me. A San can do nothing except have the strength to push the mill. Why did Xiaoqi give so much wage? Could it be that he is lying to us?" The woman came to her senses and stopped cooking. She grabbed Li Changgui's arm and asked nervously.

"Go, who is Xiaoqi? What did he lie to us? And this is what Dahu said. Dahu and Dayuan both made money with Xiaoqi. Now Xiaolongwan Harbor, even the prefect of Qingyuan Mansion is coming to watch. If San'er doesn't use it, he will ask him to do something, although San'er is a little stupid, he still has some strength after all. It's okay to do some heavy work, and he won't lie to us!" Li Changgui explained a few dissatisfied with his wife's nervous attitude.

"Dad, my brother can earn ten coins a month, which is worth the tofu that our whole family has worked hard to sell for a month. We have to invite Brother Xiaoqi to dinner!" The girl stood up excitedly and said.

"Yes, it's time to treat him to a meal..."

Li Changgui nodded repeatedly, and looked up at the half piece of bacon hanging on the beam of the room. He moved a stool to take the bacon down and let the girl wash it. At the same time, he searched for a pot of wine in the room after rummaging over the wall and cabinet.

Half an hour later, Zhao Qi came out of Li Changgui's house with a little drunkenness. The tall and honest Li San followed him in a short jacket and a straw hat. Li Changgui took his wife and daughter to send Zhao Qi away. He almost saw the blacksmith shop and returned home happily.

For Li Changgui's family, today is definitely a day full of surprises.

And for Zhao Qi, today is also a day full of surprises.

Because when he took Li San back to the blacksmith shop, Old Man Liu had already invited a tall and thin old man with gray hair and beard, dark skin and wrinkles on his face, and his hands were covered with thick calluses. He looked the same variety as Old Man Liu, and his body was filled with a smell of kiln fire.

The old man was called Cui Guangcai. People who knew each other usually called Cui Laoyao. Zhao Qi asked about Old Man Cui's family briefly and then repeated his plans. Old Man Cui was very nervous and excited. After stammering thanks, he opened the old wooden box he brought with him, revealing various tools such as knives, chisels, tweezers, hammers, etc., which were densely packed with dozens of them.

"Dalang, this is the old man who has been a ancestral fellow who has eaten. It has not been used for a long time. Lao Qi has told me about your affairs. Don't worry, the old man will definitely keep it confidential and will not tell anyone!"

"I am naturally relieved by Mr. Liu. After the glass workshop is opened in the future, I will also give it to Mr. Liu to help me with me. You can help me with the salary. I will be anxious to come to you today. I want to make a batch of beautiful glass to send to Duke Wu to the city of Wu. Therefore, the production needs to be more refined and beautiful. You have burned glass in the official shop in Beijing before, and you must have rich experience and can help me get it done!" Zhao Qi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will do my best. Liu Laoqi has told me the process of burning glass. It is much simpler than burning glass. If it is only used to make utensils, it is more than ten times simpler and more convenient. In the past, we used a lot of crystal materials to burn glass, but the method is different, and the kiln fire temperature cannot reach it. This time, with your improved firing method, I think it is not difficult to make it, but this place..." Old Man Cui was a little nervous when he looked at the messy environment of the blacksmith shop.

"Mr. Cui, don't worry. Now that I'm in a hurry, I just borrowed a blacksmith shop for a few days. After I finish this, I will find a place to build a special glass shop. At that time, all kinds of tools will be purchased, which will be convenient to get it done!"

"Since Dalang has the arrangement, I'm relieved. Can you let me see how you melt the crystal stone and then blow it up..." Old Man Cui looked at Zhao Qi with a gaze, and it was obvious that the strong curiosity and expectation on his face were clearly visible.

Zhao Qi was very satisfied.

Old Man Cui's performance is very consistent with the performance of a professional with a strong desire for knowledge and a craftsman spirit.

The fire is still burning. Although the temperature of the crystal melt in the crucible placed in the closed furnace has dropped a lot, it is still red and in a state of melting.

After moving the fire bricks in the furnace away, Zhao Qi did not take out the crucible, but directly stirred the iron pipe into it with an iron pipe, which was large red glass, and then leaned against the anvil and handed it to Yang Dahu, "Uncle Dahu, please demonstrate the method of blowing glass!"

Yang Dahu rubbed his cheeks and took it, took a deep breath and blew it down at the iron tube. The glass on the head of the tube really swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Old Man Liu and Zhao Qi stood beside him with a calm face, but Old Man Cui spit out a long piece of his eyes, and his wrinkles were squeezed together in surprise. He couldn't help but exclaimed and bulged. Even Li San, who was honest, pointed to the red glass and shouted happily.

"Slowly turn slowly..."

Zhao Qi picked up a piece of knife blank and gently patted it on the bottom of the slowly bulging glass. Slowly, the bottom of the bottle appeared. As the glass swelled and grew bigger and bigger, as the temperature slowly decreased, the bottle body began to become translucent.

Because this was just an experiment, Zhao Qi was not as careful as the first time. After Yang Dahu rolled the bottle on the anvil a few times and became slender, he picked up the scissors and cut it off. Such a hollow glass bottle appeared in front of everyone.

"Old Cui, you saw this. This glass blowing is very simple, but it requires the cooperation of a person with a strong breath. I specially invited Brother Li San to help you cooperate. Of course, after the crystal stone is burned, it can also be processed like glass, not just bottles and cans, but can be made into various shapes. You have experience than us, and this glass can also be cast like gold, silver, copper and iron, and can even make a batch of molds for die casting. In short, the method of burning glass is a combination of porcelain, glass, cast iron and even gold, silver and jade carvings, etc., but you should be careful on weekdays and don't burn it. The temperature is much higher than that of glass and melted iron..."

"We are all old craftsmen, so we can't help but remind us!" Old Man Cui was completely excited and couldn't stand steadily. He squatted on the ground repeatedly watching the glass bottle gradually becoming more and more transparent.

In the following time, with the cooperation of Zhao Qi and Yang Dahu, Li San slowly taught him how to blow glass. Old Man Cui also used the tools he brought to make a piece of glass solution and slapped and cut it on the iron felt. Chisels, tweezers, scissors, and knifes were put into battle. Soon, he created a lifelike bird shape. After cooling, it turned out to be a crystal clear glass craft.

"Old Cui's craftsmanship is really not simple. It would be a pity if he buried it like this and threw it away. You must find a few apprentices to pass on it!" Zhao Qi held the already warm glass bird in his hand and watched it over and over again.

"Oh, I've been having sex for many years. I'll probably lose my face when I give it to Duke Chong like this. I have to practice it for a few days. And the method you have found is really good. I used to burn glass for a while. I've been troublesome in the past. I burned and carved it over and over again. If I could make a few crucibles to melt crystal materials of different colors, I could make objects that look better than colorful glass!" Old Man Liu waved his hand modestly.

"Don't worry, do these things slowly in the future. This time, you don't have to worry about it. Just simply make some solid-color objects. Since Mr. Cui has this skill for a while, I'm much more relieved!"

Now there is an old kiln worker who is proficient in glass making, and another high-spirit helper who can hold his breath for four or five minutes. Basically, the glass production combination is almost the same, but it takes at least two helpers who have strong strength to help the bellows puller. Zhao Qi and Yang Dahu made a decision. Yang Dahu called in the blacksmith shop with two big and round waisted apprentices and carefully told the importance of the matter and the wages. The two apprentices immediately waved their teeth and agreed in an excited manner.

As the saying goes, the fat water will not flow to outsiders. Yang Dahu’s two apprentices have been studying with them for more than two years. They are also from the village. They know each other well. Although it is not guaranteed that the news will never be revealed, there is no airtight wall in this world. We can only try to do things as much as possible while taking care of them.

Besides, when the technology of making glass is spread, Zhao Qi would not care too much, because crystal materials are not everywhere like ordinary quartz stone. It can be said that the output is rare. Even if someone gets the method, the price is not ordinary. When Zhao Qi comes out, he will use cheaper sand and gravel, lower temperatures, larger outputs, more complex processes, and better products. At that time, all people who use crystal as raw materials to make glass have almost no way out.

This is his confidence as a time traveler.

In addition to gathering the glass production team in a short time, Zhao Qi's surprises followed one after another. Just as he and Yang Dahu and Liu Taiye were guiding the four newly joined people to learn how to burn glass at the blacksmith shop, good news came, and Chen Ji and Yao Ran actually came back together.
