A truck pulls materials and workers into the street.

Qi Manyun poked his head out of the store and said curiously, "Xiaotian, what are you doing here?"

"Make a rest area, otherwise there are too many customers in line, and the floor is very dirty, not easy to clean. Jiutian explained briefly.

"That's a good idea. Qi Manyun nodded and said, "I have to clean up for a long time every morning." ”

Jiutian was stunned, he thought it was Jir Khan who cleaned it, but he didn't expect it to be Qi Manyun. He was suddenly embarrassed and said: "That's really troublesome for you, Sister Qi, you don't have to do this, I'll let Jil Khan come over and clean up sooner in the future." ”

Qi Manyun suddenly glared at Jiutian with disgust, "Look at what you are talking about, you have helped Sister Qi so much, what is wrong with helping you clean up, and it doesn't take much effort." In the future, I will hand over the sanitation of your rest area to me, and I will ensure that it will be cleaned for you every day. ”

"How can that be done!" Jiutian hurriedly waved his hand.

Duan Shucheng also poked his head out and said, "Man Yun is right, you make a lot of money just by ordering refreshments in our store every day. Such a great favor, it would be embarrassing not to ask us to do something for you. “

Seeing that the couple insisted, Jiutian stopped saying anything, and it would be too hypocritical to say too much.

The workers began to work, and there were not many of them, only three. Jiutian looked at it for a while and felt bored, and it was dusty, so he didn't look at it anymore, and let Gil Khan stay here as an overseer.

He went back to the house and turned on the computer, looked up the Internet about the customization of glass bottles, and he was going to add the crystal jellyfish to the store's sales products. This plant cannot be separated from the water source, so a custom-made glass bottle is packed into it along with the water. After the jellyfish grows up, it does not need such a complicated place to live, and only needs to sprinkle some sun-dried algae powder every day to survive healthily.

After reading several on the Internet, he felt that they were all too ordinary, which were common glass bottle styles on the market.

Suddenly, an idea came into his mind, since he was not satisfied with these popular models on the Internet, why not make a hand-made customization? Hand-made glass bottles are a little more expensive, but crystal jellyfish is not cheap!

As soon as this idea came to mind, Jiutian immediately felt that there was a door.

He immediately searched for local glass workshops on the Internet in the same city, and was ready to investigate. But after searching, it was found that there was only one local glass workshop in Zhengcheng, which happened to be in the area on the outskirts of Zhengcheng.

Since there is only one, there is no need to choose. Jiutian called Zheng Weiqi to visit this blue glass workshop on the outskirts of the city.

Before leaving, Jiutian looked at the progress of the rest area, and a small part of it had been completed, according to the plan determined by the previous nine days, the fence was erected on the left with a wooden plank, and the hedge part Jiutian would do it by himself, this job was not very difficult, so the progress was very fast.

There is no problem here, Zheng Weiqi took Jiutian to the outskirts of the city.

The outskirts of the city are sparsely populated, and there are not so many high-rise buildings, and most of them are overgrown wastelands. The glaucomic glass workshop is located next to a wasteland facing the street. This glass workshop is not big, a blue steel tile house of about 200 square meters, and a sign of a blue glass workshop is hung at the door.

As soon as Jiutian walked in, a young man with dirty thick gloves hurriedly walked over.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" asked the young man.

Jiutian got straight to the point: "I want to customize a batch of glass bottles, so come and have a look." ”

Seeing that there was business coming to the door, the young man was very happy and said, "Please come in, I'll show you around." I am the owner of this glaucal glass workshop, called Mu Qingguang. ”

Jiutian nodded and walked in with interest, he was actually very interested in the handmade glass process. In today's mechanized industrial production, handmade production is gradually declining. The high frequency of things produced by machines, the large number of shipments, and the huge advantages that will be defeated by hand. But in the same way, handmade has its own advantages, and those gaps in each finished product give birth to a unique work of art.

However, except for some master craftsmen, some ordinary handicraft workshops are actually difficult to survive.

It was very hot in the factory, and I didn't feel it when I stood at the door just now, but after taking a few steps forward, Jiutian suddenly felt a heat wave rushing towards him, as if he was immediately in the middle of summer. The source of heat is the high-temperature melting furnace located in the center of the plant, a big guy, the hole in the furnace mouth is dazzling red light, and the heat is amazingly high.

Seeing Jiutian looking at the furnace, the young man introduced: "This melting furnace has a high temperature of 1400 degrees, which can easily melt glass. Generally speaking, glass products are made by exposing the raw glass to such a temperature and using our skilled technology. ”

Jiutian exclaimed, 1400 degrees is simply terrifying, throwing people into it will turn into fly ash in the blink of an eye.

There were still four or five workers working in the factory, and one worker was seen multiplying three kinds of white powder and pouring it into a cylindrical machine in the shape of a "Y".

Mu Qingguang was very eye-catching, and following Jiutian's gaze, he explained: "That is the raw material for making glass, quartz sand, soda ash and lime. When these three materials are mixed and melted in a furnace, glass is used. This is also the first step in our work. ”

Seeing that Jiutian was interested, Mu Qingguang was fortunate to take Jiutian on a tour. It starts with the mixing of raw materials.

"This is the mixed material, which is now poured into a melting furnace and melted at high temperatures, and when they are fused with each other, they become liquid glass. Mu Qingguang walked towards the furnace with Nine Heavens again.

Jiutian looked at the furnace, but the red light was too strong to see clearly. An old man stood beside the mouth of the stove, took a thin wire and reached in, stirred it quickly, and then pulled it out again. In front of the wire, a mass of liquid glass with high-temperature wire pulling was hung. The old man stared at the liquid glass for a few seconds, then quickly pinched it with his thickly gloved fingers.

"What is this for?" Jiutian said curiously.

"Adjust the temperature in the melting furnace. The old man looked at Jiutian and said it succinctly. Then he added: "It's not an easy job. ”

Mu Qingguang smiled: "That's right, Wan Lao is the only melting master in our glass workshop. This is because a high temperature of 1400 degrees must be maintained in the melting furnace. And he has decades of experience in dissolving furnace control, and he can observe the temperature in the furnace fire with his eyes. Of course, it won't be too precise, and there will be an error of about 30 degrees. ”

Jiutian was amazed, and he felt that this was probably the so-called practice makes perfect.

"Why don't you use a professional temperature detection device like a thermomotor?" asked Jiutian.

"We used to use it, but the thermometer melted when it was a little deeper. And more advanced equipment is too expensive for us. Mu Qingguang said.

At this time, a worker next to him took a slender iron pipe-like thing, stretched it into the furnace and slowly twisted it a few times. When it came out again, a ball of reddish liquid glass hung in front of the pipe.
