Chapter 374: Pie in the Sky
Wen Yan pointed to the roof.
Huang Ying'er looked up.
I saw four glazed tiles on the roof, one in front and one in the back.
It is used to provide light to the house.
Colored glass was used more frequently in the imperial palace.
It is not only used to cover roofs and windows for lighting, but also made into other handicrafts.
Meng Chifei had a pair of glass cups given by the emperor, which were specially used to hold ice cream in the summer.
Huang Ying'er's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"This is so bullying! Woohoo..." Why do other time-traveling girls have nothing, but the place I came from has everything.
It’s fine that they can make braised meat and soap, but now they can even make glass. This is simply too much of an abuse!
Seeing her crying so hard, Wen Yan held back her laughter and consoled her, "Although we can make colored glaze, our output is very low and the purity is not high enough.
If your technology can improve quality and yield, it can be very profitable.”
Hearing this, Huang Ying'er stopped crying and looked at Wen Yan with tears in her eyes: "Is what you said true?"
Wen Yan: "Of course it's true. Do you want me to swear to you?"
"You don't need to swear. I believe you. So, do you want to cooperate with me to sell braised meat and glass?"
Wen Yan was skeptical about Huang Ying'er's words: "Since you want to borrow other people's power, you have to ask for their opinions first.
However, empty words will not be enough to convince them to join forces.
You have to come up with something real, right? "
Huang Ying'er: "Okay, I'll go prepare the materials and make a sample for you."
Fortunately, when she was in school, she worked in a craft workshop during the summer vacation, so she memorized the materials and techniques for making glass.
It shouldn’t be difficult to make your own glass now.
Huang Ying'er sighed in her heart.
If others were reborn, they would be sought after by princes and nobles for just a recipe, but for her, it would be like she couldn't even give anything away.
She must be the most miserable time traveler in the online literature world.
She complained, but she acted very efficiently and made a list of materials that afternoon.
She protected the recipe very carefully, and she purchased all the materials herself.
Huang Ying'er was not discouraged at all.
In addition to making soap and glass, she also knows how to make salt, steel, and gunpowder. Huang Ying'er knows a lot about these.
But now is not the time to say it.
When the time is right, she will use these skills to hold on to the most reliable support of Dayong State and reach another peak.
Pei'er was puzzled and said, "Miss, things are valuable because they are rare.
If the production of colored glaze increases, the price will fall, which may not be a good thing."
Wen Yan said, "Then why don't we just keep the production under our control?"
Pei'er suddenly realized: "Miss is still thoughtful."
This was not what Wen Yan had thought of.
This was just the experience she had gained from what she had seen in her previous life.
Huang Ying'er stayed in the Qingfeng Building and concentrated on making the colored glaze.
Wen Yan was also busy.
Apart from the new store and business matters, Wen Yan devotes most of his energy to the production of spices.
Five days later.
Huang Ying'er made the first glass sample.
When Wen Yan saw the palm-sized glass bottle with a big belly and a small mouth, she was completely stunned.
Wen Yan praised it highly: "The purity of this glass is too high! There are almost no impurities.
There are only a few small bubbles.
It’s truly exquisite!”
Huang Ying'er wiped her nose and said proudly, "This one is just average! I can make one with a higher purity."
"I'll use this one to attract investment." Wen Yan put the glass bottle in a brocade box and walked out the door impatiently.
Just as she walked out the door, she stopped again and urged Huang Ying'er, "You have nothing to do anyway, why not get a few fist-sized wide-mouthed bottles, bowls, spoons, and the like."
Huang Ying'er supported her aching waist and stamped her feet. "Zhou Paopi, capitalist! Ahhhh...even time travel can't change the fate of being a beast of burden?!"
After Wen Yan left Qingfeng Xiaolou, she got on a carriage.
I originally planned to go to Meng's house.
But halfway through the journey, she turned the horse around and headed in another direction.
The method of making colored glaze is indeed a way to make money.
I can’t keep the yellow oriole, and I can’t keep Wen Yan either.
As for the Meng family...
If there is a master in Beijing all year round, it may be able to deter those villains, but there will still be people of higher positions coveting it.
In that case, why not follow the example and return the favor to your elder brother and hug the thickest thigh.
If it were in the past, if I had just handed the things over to the Meng family, they would have been able to handle it quickly.
Now the heads of the Meng family are not in Beijing, and the remaining concubines and daughters-in-law are not qualified to enter the palace.
Therefore, in the first few days after Meng Xiyan left, many people in the court impeached the Meng family, saying, "They are arrogant and proud of their achievements. The five members of the family have all left the capital, which may cause trouble. Perhaps they are plotting rebellion."
Someone should be sent to arrest this family as soon as possible."
If impeaching officials had achievements, then during the five days that Meng Xiyan was away, the Censorate had at least completed half a year's worth of achievements.
so.
After thinking about it, she went to find the young leader Yuan.
Brother Meng trusts him, and he is a descendant of the Queen's family, so there should be no problem in letting him deliver the message.
Leader Yuan works faster than Meng Xiyan.
Wen Yan handed the things over in the morning.
In the afternoon, the young leader Yuan asked someone to call Wen Yan and Huang Ying'er to his residence to discuss cooperation matters.
Although they said it was cooperation, the other party's attitude was very tough.
In the end, the result was: Huang Ying'er handed over the glass formula and production process, and she didn't have to worry about the rest, and she could get 20% of the profits.
Huang Ying'er not only had no complaints about this allocation, she was actually overjoyed! How could she complain about it being too little?
You know, just collecting materials and making them is a time-consuming and laborious task.
She doesn't have to worry about all this and just wait to count the money.
However, these are small profits.
Hidden benefits are more valuable than this money.
She could finally do business openly and no longer be threatened by others.
Wen Yan and the Meng family did not contribute, so they just passed a message in the middle and each gave a 10% profit.
No reward without merit, how dare Wen Yan accept it!
The person who came to discuss business said kindly, "Just take it if it's given to you, and don't offend others.
Isn’t this a pie in the sky?
That afternoon, Huang Ying'er was taken away by her 'patron': "Miss Huang Ying'er, please come with me to the glass workshop and let the craftsmen there learn every step."
Wen Yan's life also returned to its former peace.
In the blink of an eye, it was February, and the final version of the spices that Wen Yan had carefully prepared for Huo Yaoxing and Jiang Rouer was finally prepared.
Then she contacted Jing Mingmei.
In the private room of 'Tianyi Cloth Shop'.
Jing Mingmei looked at her resentfully: "Miss Liu, you are so heartless that you haven't contacted me for such a long time.
I thought you disappeared!"
