Chapter 715: The Beginning of Colored Glaze



Chapter 715: The Beginning of Colored Glaze

"Yo, still waiting."

Before Liang Fu opened the "Glass Melting Test Data", he heard Yu Shizhang's voice. Yu Nanshu came with him.

An old man and a young man walked over with light steps.

"I'm here." Liang Fu greeted casually, and the next moment he looked at the blue booklet on the table.

"How do you remember it?" He looked at Shen Zheng.

In fact, this was not the first time he had seen this booklet, but Shen Zheng had written everything on it in simplified Chinese characters, mixed with a lot of numbers, and some "ghostly symbols" that he didn't recognize at all, which made him completely confused.

He couldn't understand, so he could only wait.

Seeing that the two of them were busy, Yu Shizhang and Yu Nanshu also sat down quietly. After taking a look at the blue book, they looked at Shen Zheng curiously.

"I'll make it short." Shen Zheng opened the blue book and started explaining from the first page in a clear and organized manner.

Liang Fu's expression became more and more surprised as he listened, and finally turned into shock. Yu Shizhang's eyes were full of praise, and Yu Nanshu had the word "admiration" written all over her face.

"...That's it." Shen Zheng said: "To put it in a mysterious way, it's the right time, the right place, and the right people. To put it in a realistic way, it's all the details, none of which can be missing. I think...I must have discovered the pattern, so I can say that this time, I sincerely think it can succeed."

"Then what are you waiting for!" Yu Shizhang was even more excited than them. He picked up the fire mask and stuffed it on Shen Zheng's head. "Didn't you say the time is almost up? Why don't you go in and take a look!"

Liang Fu believed her words to about 70%, and was immediately at a loss.

"No, no! We have to prepare the mold first. Didn't you say that we have to be careful when the colored glaze comes out of the furnace? Otherwise, if it gets dirty or cracked, who will be responsible?"

Compared with their eagerness and excitement, Shen Zheng was much calmer.

This scene has been repeated countless times in her mind.

The four of them walked into the blast furnace room together. The high temperature made Yu Shizhang and the other two feel very uncomfortable. They had to stop at the door and watch Shen Zheng and the other two's every move carefully.

On the operating table next to the furnace, the sealed charcoal basin used to delay the solidification of the melt had already been ignited, and various tools and molds had been neatly arranged. Most of them were obtained by Shen Zheng through constant persuasion and begging Fang Qizhen during the period after the New Year.

There is one device that looks extremely ordinary - a small hollow iron pipe.

It is very similar to the bamboo tube used to blow the stove fire in the kitchen, but it is much more delicate.

Shen Zheng and the other person had already put on protective gear. Although they had done this action of opening the furnace several times, it was particularly exciting today.

"It's open?" Liang Fuyun exclaimed.

"Open it." Shen Zheng held the material clamp and nodded firmly.

As the discharge port was opened, an even more unbridled surge of heat rushed towards Shen Zheng and the others.

Shen Zheng wore protective gear on her head and did not dodge at all. Her heart was beating louder and louder, and she stared straight into the furnace. Through the jumping orange-red flames, she saw it.

With just one glance, she knew—"It's done!"

"Done?!" Liang Fu didn't care about anything else and leaned over to look inside the furnace.

——It was soft, crystal clear, and extremely eye-catching. He had never seen it before...

Molten glass.

Even though Shen Zheng had described Liuli to him countless times, he was still stunned at the first sight, and subconsciously murmured: "So this is Liuli..."

No wonder.

No wonder he couldn't imagine the beautiful glass products that Shen Zheng talked about - every time Shen Zheng talked about them with him, all that came to his mind were various treasures, but nothing like glass.

Because he had never seen real Liuli.

And today, he saw it, and the word "Liuli" took on a concrete shape in his mind.

At this moment, there were only two words in Liang Fu's mind - worth it.

His anxious, worried and unconfident heart suddenly changed its appearance, as if it was penetrated and wrapped by the molten glass in the furnace, becoming hot and soft.

He just watched without blinking, watching Shen Zheng take out the molten metal and then watching the molten metal being placed on the operating table.

until--

"Master Liang! Turn off the stove! Block the air vent!"

It was not until Shen Zheng's shout was heard that Liang Fu realized that he had been watching for a long time without moving. The flames in the stove were almost coming out, forcing the grandfather and grandson, who wanted to get closer to take a look, to retreat again and again.

Under the resentful gazes of the grandfather and grandson, Liang Fu turned off the stove and blocked the air vent in one go.

Shen Zheng on the operating table had already started moving. Yu Shizhang and the other person walked in quietly. They were afraid of blocking the light, so they immediately walked to the sides of the operating table.

People are always curious about things they have never seen, and Yu Shizhang and the other man couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At this time, Liang Fu became a "layman" again.

He knows how to fire colored glass, but, but he still can't make colored glass objects!

Everyone focused their eyes on Shen Zheng's hands. She was obviously the most nervous person on the field, but she still distracted herself to ask Yu Nanshu a question: "Nanshu, is there anything you want?"

"Ah, ah I..." Yu Nanshu was asked the question out of the blue and was extremely nervous.

Sister Shen's words meant that she wanted to give her the first glass object...

After a moment, Yu Nanshu's apologetic voice came: "Sister Shen, I'm sorry, I, I can't remember it all at once..."

She is really useless!

At the critical moment, my mind went blank!

"No future!" Yu Shizhang also said to her.

But why didn’t Shen Zheng ask him what he wanted?

Shen Zheng held a large clamp in one hand and small tweezers in the other. Hearing this, she chuckled, "Don't worry. If we don't let the molten metal leave the fire, it won't solidify in a short time. Let's make a small sign for our county first."

She divided the melt into four portions, each the size of a small bowl.

Glass signs are the easiest to make. Just pour the molten metal into a mold, flatten it, and then engrave the words on it.

The molten liquid in the bowl is no longer as soft as when it was just out of the oven. When it is poured into the mold, it looks like a transparent soft snot.

Yu Shizhang looked at it carefully and commented after a moment: "It looks like a child playing in the mud."

Just as he finished speaking, Shen Zheng unexpectedly placed the mold in front of him, along with an iron skewer.

"If you want to write the inscription, please write 'Tong'an'."

Yu Shizhang subconsciously took the iron skewer, but the next moment, his hand seemed to have just grown out and refused to obey him.

After struggling for a moment, he coughed and asked, "How do you do it?"

Shen Zheng picked up the tweezers and poked the colored glass in the bowl. A small pit suddenly appeared. Shen Zheng pursed her lips and said, "That's it. Hurry up, or it will cool and solidify if you don't move."

Yu Shizhang glared at her, rolled up his sleeves and started carving, carefully carving every stroke.

Under Yu Nanshu's gaze, he slowly and firmly carved the word "Tong'an" on the glass that had not yet cooled down. The iron stick was not like a brush or a carving knife, but despite this, the two words were still majestic.

Tongan.
