Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Chapter 155 How is this colored glass made?

After hearing this, Feng Qingyu became more and more interested in the cement road. He imagined the carriage driving on the smooth cement road, steady and stable, which would be unprecedentedly comfortable and convenient.

"Sir, do you want to try it?" The villager said with a smile, "Walk 2 kilometers from here and you will find a car wheel washing service. After washing the wheels, you can get on the cement road."

Feng Qingyu nodded, indicating that he was willing to go. He then asked curiously, "I have never heard of cement. Who invented it?"

The villager looked at Feng Qingyu with a surprised expression, as if to say: "You didn't know?" He explained: "This was invented by Miss Jiang from Jiangjia Village! More than a dozen villages around here are all repairing roads, everyone come to help."

Feng Qingyu couldn't help but admire Miss Jiang. From the beginning, he thought she was an extraordinary woman.

This time he not only wanted to purchase rice, but also wanted to know more about the cement road.

Following the direction pointed by the villagers, Feng Qingyu arrived at the wheel washing place quarter of an hour later.

There, he saw many busy figures, people were carefully cleaning the wheels of the carriage.

"Hey, are you washing the wheels?" Feng Qingyu asked curiously.

"Sir, do you want to wash the wheels? If not, please take the side path and you can go on the road after washing them." Liu Sheng is a villager of Liujia Village and was assigned to manage the wheel washing here.

He explained, "This was Miss Jiang Xue's idea. She wanted to give some disabled people and orphans jobs, so she asked them to sweep the cement road and wash the wheels, and used the proceeds to pay them."

"100 cents for washing the wheels?" Feng Qingyu nodded and motioned Hong Chang to pay.

After paying the money, Liu Sheng arranged for the carriage to be driven to the car wash. A group of half-grown children began to get busy, some washing the wheels and some washing the body.

After washing the wheels, Feng Qingyu couldn't wait to step onto the cement road. He felt the stability under his feet, as if the whole world had become peaceful and harmonious. He felt particularly happy and turned to Hong Chang and said, "Hong Chang, isn't this cement road good?"

"Yes, sir!" Hong Chang also looked outside the curtain curiously, "The carriage is not bumpy at all, it's amazing."

The cement road stretches far into the distance, connecting the villages like a silver ribbon, tightly linking the villages together. It not only changes people's travel methods, but also promotes communication and development between villages.

He didn't expect that a woman could invent such a magical thing and change the way people travel.

A quarter of an hour later, Feng Qingyu's carriage arrived at Jiangjia Village.

The village is already a busy scene, with villagers busy with their own things, and the air is filled with the unique tranquility and harmony of the countryside.

At the entrance of the village, a group of women sat together, holding soybeans in their hands and chatting.

Suddenly, their attention was attracted by a gorgeous carriage, and they saw a handsome man getting off the carriage.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen came up curiously and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Feng Qingyu bowed and said gently, "I'm looking for Miss Jiang Xue."

"Oh! Then sir, please follow me." Although Jiang Chen was very curious, when she saw Feng Qingyu's extraordinary attire, she knew that he must be no ordinary person, so she respectfully led the way.

After a while, Jiang Chen brought Feng Qingyu into the Jiang family courtyard. She stopped and said to Feng Qingyu, "Sir, wait a moment. I'll go find our little ancestor."

Feng Qingyu nodded and stood in the yard waiting.

Half an hour ago, Jiang Xue was urgently called to the cave.

Everything in the kiln has been prepared, and the glass formula that Jiang Xue gave to Xiaoyu half a month ago has come in handy at this moment.

After countless attempts, Xiaoyu finally succeeded in many experiments. He had a feeling that this time it would go very smoothly, so he immediately asked someone to call Jiang Xue to witness the results of the experiment.

Xiaoyu was a servant that Jiang Xue bought by chance when she went to the county. He was extremely talented, and with the complementary relationship with Bai Yufeng's apprentices, he actually researched out colored glaze, and this result came earlier than Jiang Xue expected.

Not long after, Jiang Xue hurried over. Seeing Xiaoyu's nervous and excited expression, she couldn't help but get nervous. The two walked into the cave together and saw the fire blazing. The hot firelight reflected their expectant faces.

"Xiao Yu, are you sure everything will be OK this time?" Although Jiang Xue tried her best to remain calm, there was still a hint of nervousness in her tone.

"Sister Xue, don't worry!" Xiaoyu answered confidently, "I adjusted the recipe and optimized the baking time. It will definitely succeed this time!"

Under the light of the kiln fire, Jiang Xue and Xiao Yu waited nervously for the glass to come out of the kiln. Finally, when the first piece of glass came out of the kiln successfully, they both cheered excitedly. This piece of glass was crystal clear and bright in color, just like a pure gem. It was the perfect product they had been waiting for for a long time.

Jiang Xue picked up the glass and examined it carefully, her eyes gleaming with excitement and pride. "Great, we finally succeeded!" she said to Xiaoyu excitedly.

As soon as Jiang Xue finished speaking, Jiang Chen walked into the cave excitedly.

Her eyes were immediately attracted by the crystal clear glass, and she exclaimed in exclamation: "Oh my, this, is this glass? My God, such a big glass?" Jiang Chen completely forgot the purpose of her coming here, and the only thing in her eyes was the sparkling glass.

"Grandma, you're here." Jiang Xue smiled and looked at Jiang Chen who was walking over with gentle eyes, and greeted her softly.

Jiang Chen was obviously still immersed in the astonishing scene before her. When she heard her granddaughter's voice, she suddenly came to her senses, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

She murmured to herself and nodded desperately, "My little ancestors, you are really amazing! How did you make this colored glaze? It's really amazing!"

You know, the price of colored glaze has always been high, even a small bead can be sold for thousands of taels of silver. And such a huge piece in front of her, its value is simply inestimable, she didn't even dare to think about it.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly and explained calmly, "Grandma, this is what Xiaoyu finally managed to cook after countless attempts and repeated adjustments to the recipe.

The success of this piece of glass is inseparable from Xiaoyu's hard work and perseverance.

At this moment, Xiaoyu suddenly interrupted and said, "Sister Xue, there is more than just this one!"

Jiang Xue was stunned when she heard that, "Not only that?" She widened her eyes and looked at Xiaoyu with confusion.

The craftsmen standing nearby smiled when they saw this. One of them interrupted and said, "Hey, eight caves are conducting experiments at the same time. Now our warehouse is full of finished products!"

Jiang Xue looked at Xiaoyu in astonishment, as if she wanted to confirm whether what she said was true. Xiaoyu nodded vigorously and answered affirmatively: "Sister Xue, it is absolutely true."
