Chapter 426 Da Hu's Classmate
Shu Yu wanted to make money by selling things on the black market, and the first thing that came to mind was glass.
This thing is said to be an imported product, so its origin is not surprising, and you can tell at a glance that it is a good product.
The most important ingredient in glassmaking is quartz sand, which she happened to have seen in Jiangyuan County. With the raw material in hand, the high melting point of quartz sand meant that such a temperature was still unattainable in those days; the only option was to find a way to lower the melting temperature of the quartz sand.
That requires something else.
Shu Yu was busy, and it took her a whole day just to prepare these things.
That won't do; she needs to find a place to have it fired.
The best option, of course, would be a kiln for firing porcelain. Unfortunately, in Jiangyuan County, such kilns were all controlled by wealthy families, and she would inevitably encounter many troubles if she wanted to borrow one.
So she had to look for other options, and after thinking it over, the only place she could think of was a blacksmith shop.
However, even though the kiln cannot be used, some basic tools can still be borrowed.
It just so happens that the Fan family is in the porcelain business, so it seems she'll have to trouble the second daughter of the Ding family again.
Therefore, in the evening, Ding Yuehua came over to inform her of the wedding date, and Shu Yu took the opportunity to ask if she could borrow some of the Fan family's porcelain-making tools.
These are all fairly common ones, so Ding Yuehua naturally had no objections.
With everything prepared, Shu Yu felt much more at ease.
The next day she didn't go out. Da Hu's classmate was coming over, and she promised to make popcorn for them.
Da Hu was off work today. He got up early in the morning, dressed excitedly, tidied up the house, and then ran off to find Shu Yu.
Seeing his serious demeanor, Shu Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
However, when she stepped out of the room, she found that not only Da Hu was nervous, but also the old lady, San Ya, and Daya who stayed at home to help. They had all put on clean clothes, dressed up specially, and tidied themselves up inside and out.
Although he appeared calm and composed on the surface, his behavior was quite subtle.
Shu Yu washed her face, took the wooden hairpin that Lu Erbai had given her yesterday, and went about her business.
At the hour of Chen (7-9 AM), voices could be heard outside the door, occasionally interspersed with questions like, "Is this the place?"
Da Hu had been in the yard the whole time. Hearing the noise, he immediately ran to open the door.
Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, one of the classmates raised his hand as if to knock.
Big Tiger's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "You're here? Come in quickly."
The students are all quite young. After all, Shuxian Academy is a school for beginners, and the oldest student is only ten years old, who is standing at the front and about to knock on the door.
Therefore, their families are worried about these primary school students going out.
However, some of them came from relatively well-off families and had servants, so these elementary school students were followed by the wives and servants of two different households.
They didn't come in. After dropping the person off, they smiled and nodded to Shu Yu, who was walking towards them, and said, "We'll leave our young master to you."
After saying that, they left and said they would come back to pick up the person in the afternoon.
As soon as the people left, the group of children entered the house one after another. They first politely greeted the Lu family members in the yard, and then stood aside somewhat reservedly.
Sanya hid behind the old lady, curiously watching her classmates who were about the same age as her but looked like their very accomplished older brother who had read many books.
