The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Boss Qian also ate the watermelon and squatted beside Shang Xi stealthily, as if he was plotting something with Shang Xi. At this time, Shang Xi was also squatting on the ground eating a piece of watermelon.

Boss Qian mysteriously took out a handful of small particles from his pocket. The color was white with impurities. "Shang Xi, look at this, what is it?"

Shang Xi took a look and said, "Is this what you brought back from the mountain?"

Boss Qian asked, "Do you think this thing is useful?"

Shang Xi said: "It's useful, this quartz."

When Boss Qian saw Shang Xi could call out the name, he was so excited that he stopped eating the watermelon, put it on the ground, and pinched the small particles with his hands and said, "What is the use of this quartz?"

Shang Xi said: "This thing can be used to pave roads and build houses. We also have it in the South City and North City. It is very common."

Boss Qian was a little disappointed. "It can't just be used for paving the road. Is there any other major use for it?"

Shang Xi said: "Look at this quartz, some of it is transparent crystal, it would be nice to use it to make some decorative objects."

Boss Qian said, "What's so good about this? I wish it was black and coal. That way it would be valuable."

Everyone who heard the two men talking laughed. They all knew that Boss Qian was always thinking about making some business wherever he went, and everyone was no longer surprised by his behavior.

Boss Qian said, "There are a lot of quartz here. You have to find a valuable use for it and turn it into treasure. If it is valuable, it will benefit the local people. Everyone will thank you and your uncle."

Shang Xi had eaten all the way to the skin of the watermelon, and there was no red flesh left, but she was still chewing. Cheng Feng came over and stuffed another piece into Shang Xi's hand, then took away the thinly chewed skin.

Shang Xi started eating again.

Boss Qian said, "Don't just eat it. If you can use this quartz well, it will be like helping your uncle."

Boss Qian's greatest skill is to bewitch people. At this time, everyone slowed down the speed of eating fruit. Shang Xi looked up and saw that everyone was staring at her. Even Wan Lianxing put down the fruit in his hand and wiped his hands with a handkerchief with a smile, but he had to wait for Shang Xi to speak.

At this time, the honest Hu Er said: "This girl is right, we do use this thing to pave the road, and it is very useful for paving the road."

Boss Qian said: "I think everything in the world has its use, and this quartz should also be of great use."

Boss Qian insisted that this thing would be of great use.

Hu Er said, "It's useless. I can't do anything." Then Hu Er started to pick up the watermelon peels.

Wan Lianxing said: "Shang Xi, you are knowledgeable, just tell me what great use this thing has."

Shang Xi spat out the watermelon seeds in her mouth, thought for a moment and said, "Quartz is indeed a good thing, but it is not easy to bring out the value of quartz."

Wan Lianxing said, "Don't beat around the bush."

Shang Xi said: "It can make ceramics, colored glaze, and glass."

Wan Lianxing raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and said, "Old housekeeper, find the glass cup."

"Yes."

Everyone knows what this colored glass cup is. It cannot be bought on the market. The colored glass cup in Wan Lianxing's hand is a tribute presented to the emperor by other countries. It is said to be a sacred object and a very rare thing. In the Dalang Kingdom, apart from the colored glass cups in the imperial palace, the only other ones outside are the pair in Wan Lianxing's hand. This shows how valuable and rare this thing is.

Soon, the old butler came over holding a box.

Then he opened the box and took out the glass cups inside. They were a pair, the same size but different in appearance.

Wan Lianxing said, "Shang Xi, stop eating and come and see if this is the translucent thing."

Shang Xi looked up and said, "Yes, this is it."

Wan Lianxing said: "Can quartz really produce this thing?"

Shang Xi smiled and said, "Not only that, if you like translucent ones, you can make them into glass cups, which are even more translucent than your glass cup."

Wan Lianxing said, "Really?"

Shang Xi said: "Have I ever told a lie?"

Wan Lianxing said: "I told you that you have lied to me many times."

Shang Xi said: "It is easy to refine quartz into colored glaze, but it is a bit difficult to refine it into glass."

Wan Lianxing asked: "What is glass?"

Shang Xi said: "You can put a piece of glass between the two of us, so you can see me and I can see you, and it won't affect our vision."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Is it the same as white gauze?"

Shang Xi shook her head and said, “It’s very similar in texture and thickness to the colored glass in your hand. It looks very hard, but it will break into pieces if dropped.

Wan Lianxing asked, "Is there really such a thing?"

Shang Xi said: "If you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Shang Xi continued to eat the watermelon.

Wan Lianxing said, "I believe you. Get up. Don't squat on the ground. It doesn't look good. Look, except for the children, which woman is squatting on the ground eating watermelon?"

Shang Xi looked around and found it was true, so she stood up.

Wan Lianxing said, "Come and sit next to your uncle."

Shang Xi took a look and said, "Where is the seat for me?"

Boss Qian put down the colored glass lamp in his hand and said, "Come, sit here and tell my uncle about the firing process of this colored glass."

Boss Qian finally arranged a seat for Shang Xi and placed Shang Xi's chair in front of Wan Lianxing.

Shang Xi said: "My uncle wouldn't understand even if I told him."

Boss Qian said, "Uncle can understand." In fact, he wanted to hear it himself. He was more anxious than Wan Lianxing to know how the glass lamp was made.

Wan Lianxing said, "Put the watermelon down and talk to me. I'll see if I can understand you."

Shang Xi said: "Uncle, do you know how to fire a kiln? If you don't, it's useless for me to talk to you."

Wan Lianxing was about to shake his head when Boss Qian said, "Uncle understands."

Seeing this, Wan Lianxing unfurled his fan and straightened his back, waving the fan elegantly in front of his chest, "Just tell me, if you don't understand, I'll ask."

Shang Xi said: "I have never fired colored glaze before, but it is similar to firing porcelain. Glass is more difficult..."

Shang Xi just gave a rough explanation, and outsiders would definitely not understand anything. Boss Qian, who had fired porcelain, said, "It works, it works."

Wan Lianxing waved his fan and said, "Do you understand?"

Boss Qian said: "I kind of understand it, but I only understand the basics."

Shang Xi laughed and grinned, "That's right, you don't understand, because I don't understand either."

Boss Qian said, "You can't do this if you don't understand. Don't you understand how to make this thing?"

Shang Xi said: "I remember your family has a big kiln factory in Bianjing. If you can't make colored glaze, there's nothing I can do. How can I understand this?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Xiao Shangxi, is the method you just mentioned correct?"

Shang Xi said: "It is definitely right. It depends on whether the person who wants to burn the glass has the ability."

Wan Lianxing asked Boss Qian: "Do you have this ability?"

Boss Qian said with a bitter face: "Really not, I need to think about it."
