Chapter 181 Wash Basin and Glass
Zhou Dajiang walked out after he finished speaking, and before leaving, he reminded Chen Xiuying, "Don't forget to sort out the recipe later."
Chen Xiuying: "I understand."
Only the mother and daughter were left. Zhou Sisi hugged her mother's waist and acted coquettishly, "Mom, you are so awesome!"
Chen Xiuying tapped her daughter's forehead and pushed her away. "Do you know how amazing I am now? I told you to study hard, but you didn't."
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Who would have thought that I could travel back to ancient times? If I had known earlier, I would have learned all the skills of those time-traveling gods."
"You're the only one with so many excuses. Okay, we've been in the study for quite a while now. Let's get out of here so your two brothers can find me."
……
On the other side, there was the room of Mr. Chen and his father, Zhou Dajiang and Liu Lin.
Liu Lin looked at Zhou Dajiang and couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him, no, it happened to his wife.
He confirmed again and again: "Brother-in-law, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Zhou Dajiang was speechless. "Why would I lie to you? Do you have money to spend? Father-in-law and Mingyuan are here too. We are all family. It just so happens that your family has this good deal and is close to the ranch, so Xiuying thought of her elder sister. She will write a letter to her later, you can take it back. I will also write a letter to our village head, and when the time comes, you can show him my letter and then go home to drive the cows away."
Zhou Dajiang thought for a moment and added, "As long as the recipe isn't revealed, the returns should be very good."
"That's a must. I'll ask your elder sister to keep it well."
Master Chen also understood that this was the second daughter wanting to help her eldest sister, and Zhou Dajiang did not object, so he patted his second son-in-law on the right shoulder and said, "Dajiang, good job."
Then, he turned around and said to his eldest son-in-law, "Once you finish your business here, go back early and ask Xiuwan to make arrangements so that she can come to the capital at the end of the year."
What could Liu Lin say? Naturally, he just said "good".
So, early the next morning, Liu Lin took the bag handed over by Chen Xiuying,
"Second sister, brother-in-law thanks you and Dajiang. Don't worry, your sister and I will manage it well." After saying that, he clasped his fists, said hello to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and walked away with big strides.
Zhou Dajiang, on the other hand, started working even before breakfast. He first asked Uncle Fu to find the things his wife wanted, and then asked Sun Dajiang to take him to order bricks.
When they arrived, it was a good opportunity because the brickyard had just found a batch of defective bricks.
Zhou Dajiang thought it was just a stove, so he didn't mind whether it was beautiful or ugly. So he paid the money and went to the farm with the bricks.
When he arrived at the farm, he first looked for Tian Youcai and asked him about the silver powder paint.
As an old carpenter, Tian Youcai was of course aware of this and nodded quickly, "I know this. Most painters have it. I had some before I came, but I didn't take it because I thought it would be troublesome to carry around. If I had known you wanted it, I would have brought it to you."
When Zhou Dajiang heard him say he knew, he felt relieved. It was enough to have it. All that was left was to make the glass. So he quickly shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. As long as it's there, it'll be fine. When you need it, take me with you and we can go buy it together."
After understanding the lacquer issue, all that remained was to build the ovens and kilns. This was a simple task, as we had plenty of manpower and bricks. Within two days, the ovens and kilns at both locations were completed.
Chen Xiuying also did something big during these two days. Thinking her shop was unique, she asked her daughter to draw a ceramic integrated wash basin for her, and even asked her to draw the cabinet underneath the wash basin.
In order to free up her time for the rest of the time, Chen Xiuying took the drawing to Datong Trading Company on the day she finished it.
When Xue Jing saw her bringing the blueprints, he knew there was a new product and he was so happy that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened.
Having worked together for such a long time, Chen Xiuying didn't waste any words and told him directly that she needed it for the decoration of her own shop. She also stated that this wash basin could be sold together with the toilet and bathtub. As for how the price was set, it was none of her business.
After talking about the washbasin, she also entrusted the decoration of her and her daughter's shop to Datong Trading Company.
Because of the popularity of Datong Bathroom, Datong Trading Company took the opportunity to recruit more people and expanded the scale and scope of Datong Bathroom. Now Datong Bathroom's slogan is that as long as you become a Datong Bathroom customer, the decoration can be "packaged from beginning to end".
As long as the customer clearly states the area to be renovated and the requirements, and the two parties agree on the price, the company will undertake it. It can be said that Datong Company has firmly grasped the benefits brought by Datong Sanitary Ware.
Even Chen Xiuying had to admire the boss behind Datong Trading Company. He had great business skills and it was no exaggeration to say that he was a leader in the business world.
After outsourcing the decoration and getting all the materials from Uncle Fu, Chen Xiuying stopped caring about anything else and started working on the homework assigned by her daughter.
The sand needed to be washed repeatedly, but Qing'er had it. Chen Xiuying herself started making soda ash from wood ash.
The process of making soda ash is relatively simple, though somewhat tedious. First, water is added and stirred, then impurities are removed through a filter. The water is then dried in the sun. Once the water has evaporated, the remaining solid is soda ash.
For limestone, Chen Xiuying used shells. She first put the shells in a crucible and burned them until they were crispy, then added water and crushed them. After drying, they became limestone.
After all three are prepared, put them into the crucible in proportion and stir to mix, then put the crucible into the furnace and heat it.
Without a thermometer, Chen Xiuying had no idea of the crucible's approximate temperature, so she could only rely on her gut feeling to heat it a few times. Fortunately, after four attempts, she finally managed to melt the mixture. All that remained was to remove bubbles, form the mixture, and anneal it.
Zhou Dajiang was curious about how glass was made, so he watched Chen Xiuying as she worked on it. When he saw his wife pouring the molten metal onto the iron plate, he hurried over to help, saying he could handle the rest himself.
Since her husband said he could do it, Chen Xiuying didn't do it herself and left the remaining steps to Zhou Dajiang.
Removing bubbles is easy; Zhou Dajiang simply stirs the melt, and the bubbles disappear. He then carefully pours the melt into the prepared mold, closes the lid, and lets it anneal slowly.
Zhou Dahai and Zhou Dahe learned that their younger brother/sister-in-law wanted to make glass, and they were also curious about what it was.
Finally, a rough but translucent piece of glass appeared before everyone's eyes. The three old men were as excited as children, looking at the glass from left to right. After Chen Xiuying coughed several times, they finally reacted and handed the glass to her.
Zhou Dahe reluctantly handed the glass to Chen Xiuying, "Second sister-in-law, this is glass, it's so clear."
Chen Xiuying smiled and nodded. Not bad, it was finally made.
