Chapter 190 Glass bowl, go into the mountains!
Time passed quickly, and it was late July in a blink of an eye. The factory building was finally built, and the papermaking workshop was officially opened. Zhou Changqing also became busy, and so was Gu Yunzheng. The Gu family used to be a merchant family, and since she was the only daughter in the family, Gu Yunzheng was not very proficient in business matters, but she knew a lot, so it was not a problem for her to assist Zhou Changqing.
After the ditch was filled with water, Shen Xiangwan really had people bring in various fish fry and put them in it, and also gathered some duckweed. At a glance, the water surface was lush green, and with the weeping willows on both sides, it was truly a comfortable pastoral painting.
"Yuanyue, how many days has Chengyi been away?"
After dinner, Shen Xiangwan moved a lounge chair to the weeping willows beside the ditch and lay on it to enjoy the cool air leisurely. The children were playing and chasing each other not far away, and their silver bell-like laughter could be heard from time to time.
"Madam, it has been nineteen days."
Ever since the Second Master left, they have to answer this kind of question almost every day, sometimes even more than once, especially in recent days, Yuanyue and Yuanying have long been exhausted from complaining.
"is it?"
With her hands folded behind her head, Shen Xiangwan narrowed her eyes slightly. No one knew what she was thinking. The only thing that was certain was that she was in a bad mood. Not only because Wei Chengyi had been away for nearly twenty days, but also because he had not sent her a single message. Every time it was Yuan Xiu who came to tell her that he was fine. Although she did not show it on her face, the dissatisfaction in her heart was constantly accumulating. When Wei Chengyi came back, it would inevitably explode.
"Madam, how about we accompany you to visit the county town tomorrow?"
After looking at each other, Yuanyue bowed and suggested in a low voice that they really didn't want her to go out, after all, she was killed by unknown persons the last time she went out. But seeing that she was in a bad mood, they couldn't care less. At most, they could find a few more guards to accompany her for protection.
"What's there to do?"
Glancing at her lazily, Shen Xiangwan sat up. She knew why she made such a suggestion. There was no need for that. She would not be so upset about this matter. She just felt a little unhappy. She should just go back to the space and tinker with her little treasures more.
Speaking of babies, she couldn't help but think of Yuanyuan and Roll. Recently, every time she went in, they would stay with her and act coquettishly for a long time, and would not stop until she fed them with a bowl of milk herself.
It's a pity that the weather is too hot now. If it were cooler, she would like to take them out. Anyway, she has dairy cows at home, and there are bamboo forests on the back mountain, so they won't starve. She can just secretly give them a meal from time to time.
People who have never raised a giant panda will never know how happy it is to rub them every day. They are all her treasures.
Madam, are you in a good mood?
Seeing that there was a smile on her face, Yuanying and Yuanyue exchanged glances with each other, forgiving them for being too stupid and really not being able to understand her way of thinking.
"lady."
Yuan Xiu's voice suddenly rang out, and Shen Xiangwan looked up reflexively with a dazzling smile on his face.
"Madam, are you in a good mood?"
Yuan Xiu quickly came up to her and asked tentatively, "Didn't Yuan Yue and the others say that she has been in a bad mood recently?"
"It's ok, is this done?"
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan's eyes fell on his hand. If he was not mistaken, it should be a glass bowl.
"Yeah, I finally figured it out."
Speaking of business, Yuan Xiu quickly handed her the glass bowl in his hand: "We just made it today. There are more than 20 of them. There is no impurity in them. They are definitely the best colored glass." "Well, it looks really good."
Taking the glass bowl, Shen Xiangwan flicked it with his fingers, then lifted it up to take a closer look. It was almost the same as the glass bowls in the future world, except that it was a little thicker. However, it was already very good to be able to make it like this. Facts have proved that craftsmen from any era should not be underestimated. As long as they are given a direction, they can make anything.
"Let's make it according to this standard in the future. Make what I need first."
Handing the glass bowl back to her, Shen Xiangwan nodded in acknowledgement of their achievement.
"Okay, we'll start cooking tomorrow."
They have fully mastered the technology of firing colored glass, and it is not difficult to fire colored glass windows and colored glazed tiles. Tomorrow he will contact the person who is responsible for business affairs, and then they will fire a large number of various colored glass products.
"Ah."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan lay down again: "Any news about Cheng Yi today?"
"what?"
Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Yes, the Second Master said he is fine, please don't worry, Madam."
"is it?"
Shen Xiangwan keenly caught the momentary avoidance of his eyes and said nothing. She just waved her hand in disgust, indicating that he could go away.
Before Yuan Xiu left, he secretly gave Yuan Yue a look. The latter understood and shortly after he left, she pretended to go to the toilet and left.
Shen Xiangwan, who had seen everything, curled the corners of her lips slightly, folded her hands behind her head, and stared at the endless night sky with empty eyes. It seemed that she had to cultivate a group of talents of her own. Look at these people, they were all blatantly hiding things from her. Although they might be doing it for her good, she said that she didn't need it. It was the most fucking stupid thing to not know anything!
The next day, Shen Xiangwan got up before dawn. After having breakfast with Zhao Yuping and the others, she went to the backyard alone. Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying thought she was just taking a walk to digest her food, so they didn't follow her. Little did they know that she soon entered the mountain through the back door. When they realized something was wrong, she was nowhere to be found in the backyard.
Shen Xiangwan did it on purpose. It could barely be considered her childish revenge. Who asked them to hide something from her on purpose?
Yong'an Village is backed by continuous mountains, and the Wei family is located at the foot of the mountain. Shen Xiangwan went into the mountain to look for usable medicinal herbs or poisons. Thinking that it would be difficult to find what she needed outside the mountain, she went directly into the space after going out the back door. Using the extension of space, she quickly advanced into the mountains until she heard the sound of flowing water, then she stopped and left the space.
“This should be the waterfall flowing from the mountain to the outside.”
Looking at the huge waterfall between the mountains, Shen Xiangwan murmured to herself. Just as she was about to leave, a flash of scarlet in the grass in the distance attracted her attention.
"This is···"
Shen Xiangwan walked over, squatted down, and parted the grass. A blood-red mushroom that was bigger than an adult man's palm came into her sight. There were a few smaller ones beside it. Judging from their color, they were extremely poisonous!
She didn't expect to have such a big harvest just after arriving. Shen Xiangwan was in a good mood. She put on gloves and dug carefully, humming a tuneless song. She liked anything with medicinal or poisonous value. It was a great sense of accomplishment for her to use them to develop new drugs or poisons, and she enjoyed the feeling very much.
