Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

Because Shi Yan is generous and kind, although he is too lazy, he has a very good reputation in Huangzhuang.

Therefore, nearby villagers often send wild animals to Shi Yan here to exchange for some money.

"A few mouthfuls of cabbage seedlings can make me cry now." Shi Yan looked at the scene of heavy snow outside and said with infinite emotion.

"It's all my fault that I was carried away by the good days in the capital, thinking that as long as there is money in the capital, you can buy anything. Who would have known that these people in the capital would have nothing to eat in winter!" Liu Quan scratched his hair angrily.

"I was really blinded by the lard. Last winter, I knew that I would build a warm shed to grow a few vegetables in the small courtyard of Taohua Village. How did I get to the capital and the conditions were so good, why didn't I think about it?" Wang An Start reflecting.

Shi Yan felt that it was not the way to go on like this. Now he is madly wanting to eat a bite of fresh vegetables, dehydration is fine, as long as it is not fried meat, roasted meat, braised pork, boiled meat and stewed meat.

Touching his chin and thinking for a moment, he said to Wang An, "Do you know which craftsman in the capital can make glazed crystals?"

Wang An said to Shi Yan in a tone of "Boss, are you crazy?": "That thing is a treasure that can't be found, even if there are not many stocks in His Majesty's private library, only important ministers who have made great achievements in the DPRK and China can do it. A gift from His Majesty.

You patted your head and thought, where can you find such a craftsman?

If there really is a craftsman who can make glazed crystals, can it be your turn to find the boss? What do you dream of? "

Shi Yan choked, thought for a while and then said: "Since there is none, I remember that there are a few craftsmen in our village who can fire porcelain. I will ask them first. I heard that colored glaze is made by firing. Porcelain is also fired, so maybe they know something?"

Liu Quan complained mercilessly: "The girl who burns the fire also burns the fire, and the porcelain also burns the fire. Why don't you generalize!?"

Shi Yan waved his hands indifferently: "What do you want to do so much? Get someone to ask and talk about it!"

After the craftsman came, Shi Yan described to several people: "Do you know crystals? The crystals we know now are all about the size of a palm, and the exact shape depends on luck.

But Uncle Ben thought, if the crystal could be the size of a window, neat and smooth, put together into a small house, warm and bright inside, wouldn't it be possible to grow vegetables in it in winter! "

Before the craftsmen could react, Liu Quanxian exclaimed: "Boss

, After talking for a long time, you actually want to use crystal to build a conservatory?

Not to mention whether it is possible or not, it is caused, then our family is afraid that we will be in debt! Even if you mortgaged the uncle's residence in the capital, you might not be able to repay the debt!

Isn't the greenhouse we built in Peach Blossom Village last year pretty good? Plant vegetables, flowers, and corn. "

Shi Yan waved his hand: "But that's very inconvenient, we have to watch the sun carefully every day to ventilate, lift the roof to let the crops bask in the sun, and put the roof back before sunset and cool down.

It takes several hours every day to set fire to the fire in the greenhouse. It is too cold for a while and it is too hot. The crops are served like ancestors. When the temperature suddenly cools at night, I can't sleep because of fear.

I am afraid that the crops will be frozen to death, and that the greenhouse will be collapsed by the wind if it is not strong.

Despite our hard work, the part that doesn't get the sun is still growing very badly. "

Liu Quan retorted: "Yes, but everyone's greenhouse is like this. It's cheaper than you want to build a crystal greenhouse. It's useless to hire a few people to guard the greenhouse for us for twelve hours. How much money!"

Shi Yan said in a "why are you so stupid" tone: "But who can guarantee that the hired person will not make mistakes? If one day we are not careful, there will be a little accident, and our hopes for a winter will be lost. .

Even if the person who made the mistake is killed afterwards, the mistake that has already occurred cannot be changed! "

Liu Quan was speechless, and Wang An didn't know how to refute Shi Yan's fallacy. The two watched helplessly as Shi Yan used his words to guide a few porcelain craftsmen down the crooked road.

A few craftsmen were surprised and unbelievable from the beginning, and now their eyes are shining, full of ambition and hope, and it took only half an hour before and after.

Liu Quan and Wang An squatted on the ground and squeezed the snow ball, Liu Quan said sullenly: "I'm so big, I've never heard of it, the crystal is made of firing, what if the boss's direction is wrong?

What if crystals, like jade, have been in the mountains for thousands of years before they can be obtained by accident? "

Wang An also has the same question: "Even if it is fired, what material is used for firing? How to control the temperature? Use a kiln or a furnace? What if there is an accident and someone is injured? .

Don't you just want a bite of green vegetables? The big deal is that I move a few more large flower pots, scatter a handful of seeds, and put them in the main room to take care of them every day. It’s more practical than spending a lot of time studying crystals, right?

What to burn? It's hard to save some money, this burn, there will definitely be nothing left.

Things cost more money than smoking cigarettes! "

Liu Quan didn't know what to think, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh, I remember that when I was on the mountain, the old Taoist had an accident while refining alchemy, and he once trained a crystal of poor quality.

At that time, the old man was so excited that he thought that the crystal was God's pious affirmation for him, and he was proud of it for a while.

You say, is it possible that the old Taoist alchemist added something to the alchemy furnace and practiced it unintentionally? "

The monk shook his head: "I'm a fake monk who doesn't know anything except reciting the rebirth scriptures. It's not like you don't know."

The more Liu Quan thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, so he took the initiative to join the discussion between Shi Yan and the others, leaving Wang An alone to squeeze the snowball.

Wang An watched Liu Quan quickly dance, his eyes were shining, his eyes were full of ambition, and he shook his head, feeling that everyone in this family was crazy, and he, a normal person, could only stay awake as much as possible, and not be disturbed by time. Inkstone assimilate them.

The addition of Liu Quan, a former Taoist priest, brought new ideas to the group's discussion.

Being reminded by Liu Quanyi, one of the craftsmen suddenly said: "I remembered, I have an old brother whose ancestors burned purple clay teapots. contact, some quartz sand will be added.

Once, I accidentally sprinkled too much quartz sand, and after the fire went out, I found that the pots in that furnace were all burned, but there was actually a piece of slapped, crystal clear crystal.

Their family still thinks that the crystal is a gift from God, and it is kept in the ancestral hall as a family heirloom. Only during the festivals, their males can go in and take a look. "

The craftsman rubbed his hands excitedly: "Uncle, the little old man thought about it and thought that the firing of crystals might be related to quartz sand."

Shi Yan nodded secretly, thinking: Finally, it's on time, the main raw materials of this glass are quartz sand, soda ash, and limestone!

Shi Yan patted the craftsman on the shoulder and encouraged: "Uncle Ben thinks that you have chosen this direction very well, and your ideas and ideas are very reasonable.

In this way, the three ideas we just put forward can be boldly tried, and all the expenses will be borne by the uncle.

After all, what we are going to do now is a major event that has never been seen before, and if it is really successful, it may even be recorded in the annals of history in the future!

Think of the time when future generations will be able to see their ancestors in the annals of history,

That is, the figure of you and me, what a great thing! "

Shi Yan's expression was so sincere that not only a few craftsmen, but also Liu Quan couldn't help being fooled around by Shi Yan, his blood seemed to start to burn in his body, and he wanted to do it right now.

Shi Yan gave Liu Quan the dominance of this matter as a matter of course, and Liu Quan patted his chest unsurprisingly and assured Shi Yan, "Boss, don't worry! I will definitely do this for you beautifully!

When the crystal is fired, our money will not be spent in this life! hey-hey. "

Shi Yan smiled meaningfully: "I hope you can still think like this in a few days!"

At the time, Liu Quan didn't understand, but when he really entered the experimental stage, the few silver coins in the warehouse were carried out like water, all of which were squandered by them.

Before the result of the experiment, Liu Quan cried first, but he couldn't bear to cry.

Shi Yan kindly comforted him: "The money has already been spent, and it is impossible to get it back. The best way at present is to speed up the research progress. When you research the results, there will naturally be money waiting for us to earn."

Under the pressure of Yinzi, Liu Quan worked even harder. He directly had someone move a quilt and live by the kiln with a few craftsmen. .

For food and water, the person sent by Wang An chased after him and told him that he couldn't listen to him.

Sometimes when it gets annoying to be chased, Liu Quan will scold people directly.

Several people, including Liu Quan, lost weight visibly, but their eyes brightened day by day.

Several people were full of energy, as if they were stunned, and they couldn't hold anything other than the kiln in their eyes.

Shi Yan and Wang An went there to visit once, and the two of them swaggered around in front of the few people. As a result, people could treat them as nothing and think they didn't exist.

Shi Yan was very satisfied with the current situation, Wang An was very worried, and felt that these people were all stunned, and the atmosphere on Zhuangzi began to feel strange.

Before everyone could figure out why the atmosphere was so strange, a transparent crystal conservatory was quietly erected in the west of Zhuangzi. The sunlight reflected colorful light through the bright crystal interface and shot in all directions.

From a distance, the place looks like a luminous body with its own light source, which is full of dreams.

So it goes without saying that the news of the development of crystals in Min'anbo Zhuangzi spread like wildfire, and it was instantly known to everyone in the entire capital.

a lot of

People did not care that the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the road was difficult to travel. Several princes and nobles' mansions joined forces to clean up the section of the road from the capital to Min'anbo Zhuangzi overnight.

Early in the morning, there are countless luxurious carriages passing through the city gates, rushing to Min'anbo Zhuangzi.

When I woke up this morning, the sky was misty and it started to snow again. Liu Quan, who had slept for three days and three nights, got up early in the morning, got into the kitchen, drove away the cook, and howled and fry. Hot pot base.

The spicy flavor of the base material is pervasive, filling the corners of the entire yard. When Shi Yan just woke up, he couldn't help sneezing twice.

She shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Liu Quan, is there something wrong with you, eating hot pot early in the morning?"

Liu Quan's voice, accompanied by the jingling of the spatula, reached Shi Yan's ears: "I will be a rich man from now on! I have to eat it every day, every day, whenever I want! Eat it! Tired of it!"

Shi Yan was too lazy to care about it, thinking that Liu Quan ate it for two days in a row, even if his stomach could take it, would the chrysanthemum be okay?

Oh, naive.

When Shi Yan was about to turn around to wash up, he went to the greenhouse to check the growth of vegetables early in the morning. Wang An hurried in and shouted, "Boss, boss! It's not good! There are many vehicles coming from the capital, all of them. For our crystal.

I also saw the signs on several Wangye mansions! Boss, can't you stand it? "

Shi Yan directly shook his head: "I can't bear it."

Wang An's face collapsed in an instant: "This is a recipe that our family finally spent a lot of money researching, and I'm not willing to give it to others like this!"

Shi Yan said inexplicably, "Who do you want to give it to?"

Wang An was stunned: "There are so many people out there who are powerful and powerful. If they really want it, if they really want it, if they want to do it, I don't know what tricks they can make. Boss, you can still hold your neck and not give it?"

Shi Yan said with a more bewildered expression: "But from the day the recipe was researched, I had already brought the recipe to the craftsman and gave it to His Majesty in secret, and I didn't even remember the recipe myself.

Are they trying to rob the recipe in His Majesty's hand, or do they want to rob Liu Quan?

Do you think Liu Quan's miser looks like he can be snatched away? Or can the recipe be easily leaked out? "

Wang An was stunned.

Liu Quan, who didn't know anything when he woke up, was also stunned.

I think it won't be long before a group of people outside who know the details will be stunned.
