Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

In space,

Xiao Yunxi was wearing a white coat, staring intently at the thermometer in front of her. If the temperature was a little higher, she would immediately cover the flame of the alcohol lamp.

She is concentrating the essence,

Heating is required to evaporate some of the alcohol, thereby making the flavor more concentrated. In this process, the temperature needs to be strictly controlled, otherwise the ingredients of the flavor will be destroyed.

Ding-a-ling,

The timer on the table rang, and Xiao Yunxi quickly moved the flask away.

"It's done!"

Use earthenware pots to pack the essence and seal it tightly. It feels like drinking coffee and eating garlic.

Xiao Yunxi came to the bookshelf. There were not many books on it.

"Developing Children's Hands-on Ability", "100 Small Experiments to Do with Children", "Militia Military Training Manual", "Barefoot Doctor Manual", "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-use Talents",

This room is a fun laboratory that Xiao Yunxi built for her younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage. The design drawings for the bicycle and the making of the soap all came from here.

After the space absorbed the third batch of raw stones, the barrier beside the well disappeared and this room appeared. The other door in the room leads to the living room, which cannot be opened at present.

She thought she would need more jewelry and jade, so she was eager to make more money, buy more jade, and see what the complete form of the space would look like.

Pick up a copy of How the Steel Was Tempered.

It's not that world-famous book, it really teaches you how to make steel, and there are many strange things, but they haven't found a way to make glass.

Change one,

"I am an Inventor: A Must-Have Book for Time Travel"

This book is very reliable, and it actually found a way to burn glass, but isn't it a bit too complicated...

Two days later,

In the valley near the river at the end of the village, a semi-arc-shaped furnace rises from the ground, but its shape looks a bit simple.

"Are you sure you can handle the heat?"

"It's built according to the standards of a crucible furnace for iron smelting, using refractory bricks. There's no problem."

"Then let's get started."

Xiao Yunxi decided to trust Zhou Jin for the time being.

According to the steps in the book, the master in charge of firing was asked to heat the furnace to 1500 degrees first.

It is said that this master was in charge of iron smelting in the Ministry of Industry. He controlled the temperature entirely by feeling and never made a mistake. No one knew where Zhou Jin found this genius.

Just believe him for now.

The master confirmed that the temperature was up to standard. Xiao Yunxi put the river sand, limestone, alkali and other raw materials into the furnace according to the proportions in the book.

In order to ensure the temperature is high enough, the furnace mouth is temporarily sealed. When it is opened again, there is a red liquid flowing inside.

Is that all?

Xiao Yunxi asked the master to step aside temporarily, took an appropriate amount of glass liquid with a blowpipe, and then asked Zhou Jin to blow it.

call!

The glass liquid expanded instantly, and the bubbles grew larger and larger. Xiao Yunxi hurriedly tried to stop it:

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Stop blowing!"

"If you blow it again, it will burst."

After the glass is blown, it needs to be annealed. Without an annealing furnace, it can only cool naturally. Soon the red color dissipates, and the finished product appears in front of the two people.

Xiao Yunxi's face was full of disgust.

The glass was made, but it had a lot of impurities and bubbles, which was completely different from the glass she imagined.

Zhou Jin was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

The colored glass before him was countless times better than the glass brought as tribute by merchants from the Western Regions. The problem was, it was actually made from a pile of worthless stones!

He prepared all the raw materials. The most expensive one was probably limestone, which was completely negligible compared to the price of colored glaze which could easily reach tens of thousands of taels.

"you....."

"Grandpa Whitebeard taught me."

Don’t ask, the only thing you know is the old man with white beard.

Zhou Jin rolled his eyes, then thought of something:

"You're making colored glaze to sell it, aren't you?"

Xiao Yunxi shook her head. She had never thought about this.

"I want to use it to store perfume. I can also install it in the windows of my house so that I can get good light."

We didn’t know how to make glass before, but now we know how to make it, so the old oil-paper windows are naturally discarded.

It’s a miracle that she could come up with the idea of ​​using colored glaze to make windows. If the emperor knew about this, he would probably be so jealous that he would be unrecognizable!

"You want to make money? Lots and lots of money."

When Xiao Yunxi heard this, her eyes lit up and she said cheerfully:

"You must think about it!"

Zhou Jin smiled:

"I can help you sell the glass to the capital. The powerful people will be willing to pay for it."

As a time traveler, she naturally knew the value of Liuli, but as the saying goes, a man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.

It's fine to make glass for personal use, but selling it to others will inevitably arouse the greed of the powerful. Tofu is the best example.

The bicycle blueprints were a one-time transaction. Unless Liuli's manufacturing process was handed over, there would definitely be endless trouble. Xiao Yunxi was most afraid of trouble, so she just wanted to lie down.

"Leave the manufacturing and sales of the colored glaze to me. Just wait to get paid. But don't reveal it to anyone, otherwise it will cause trouble."

Xiao Yunxi asked another question:

"Are you sure everything's okay? I don't want anything like the tofu case to happen again."

"Will not."

"Okay then. This time you have to generate sales and take the risk. We'll split the profits 46:6, you get 6 and I'll get 4."

Zhou Jin's expression was stiff.

"Don't be dissatisfied. I'll give you 7 at most, no more."

"Hey, hey, hey, say something."

Damn woman, all she cares about is money!

"All the money you earn is yours. I don't want it."

"It's not appropriate."

Zhou Jin's mouth corners slightly raised:

"You are my wife, what's mine is yours, and all yours are mine."

Xiao Yunxi was furious.

"Scumbag!"

"You can covet my beauty, but not my money."

Huh?

Something seems wrong?

When Xiao Yunxi arrived at the village chief's house, Aunt Zhou was arguing with the village chief.

The reason is,

Although the village chief's injury recovered well, his vitality was also damaged. Aunt Zhou asked Doctor Lu to prescribe some medicine to regulate qi and blood, and asked him to drink it every day.

The medicine was a bit bitter, and the village chief was unwilling to drink it, but Aunt Zhou forced him to drink it.

Seeing Xiao Yunxi coming in, Aunt Zhou pulled her over to reason. The village chief had no choice but to pinch his nose and drink the medicine. Only then was Aunt Zhou satisfied.

Although the two were bickering, in Xiao Yunxi's eyes, it felt very warm. Isn't this how a couple should be?

"Yun Xi came to ask about the house?"

"I've found three suitable places for you. They have plenty of rooms. Go over and take a look. I'll pay you 150 wen a month. I've already negotiated it."

The soap workshop was still located in Tangjia Village, making it easier for Xiao Yunxi to look after it. Unlike the tofu workshop, which only lasted about two hours a day, the workshop did not require a high space and could be operated outdoors.

Soap processing requires soaking, extraction, and filtering. The process lasts for several days or weeks and requires equipment and space. You can't just build a shed to solve the problem.

There are many idle houses in Tangjia Village, and Xiao Yunxi plans to use them. It would be a waste of time not to build them herself.

But she didn't come here specifically to ask about the house, she came to see Tang Xiaowan,
