Chapter 272 Burning Glass
Zhao Jinluo came to Jia Rui's house, but heard that Jia Rui was making a elixir furnace in a yard and was refining something.
Zhao Jinluo couldn't help but be curious and wanted to go and see who dared to stop him?
When I came to a side courtyard, I saw a large stove set up in the middle of the courtyard. Several shirtless men were urging the wind bag to blow the wind. Flames in the furnace were spraying out, and the heat was rolling.
When Jia Rui saw her coming, he hurriedly greeted her and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"I heard you are refining elixirs, come and take a look. Your elixir furnace is strange. People are burning with a large cauldron under fire. You are so good that it looks like a iron-scraper."
Jia Rui smiled and said, "Can I be the same as those liars? Don't stay here, it's time to complain about a headache when it's hot."
Zhao Jinluo took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Jia Rui's face and said with some distress:
"Just take care of yourself first, it turns out that alchemy is so hard..."
Jia Rui smiled, "I am not refining alchemy now, but..."
“What are you doing?”
Jia Rui said: "You will know in a while. Let's talk to the house. I will have to have a bite of tea, I'm so thirsty. What's in my hand?"
"Go and wash your face first and show it to you later." Zhao Jinluo was as considerate as a young wife.
When he came to the hall, Jia Rui sat down and said with a smile: "Is this OK?"
Zhao Jinluo then put the booklet in front of Jia Rui and said, "I have drawn a few of the crops you mentioned and used them to show you whether they are drawn correctly."
Jia Rui said: "I'll draw it so soon? It's hard for you. Just wait for when I have time to go find you. What's the matter with another trip?"
Zhao Jinluo pouted and said, "I know you are busy, how dare you work Lord Jia? I am free and I haven't seen Sister Pan for many days. Alas, please see if I draw it right!"
Just as Jinlian was already coming in with tea, Zhao Jinluo hurriedly stood up and said, "How can I work hard sister~"
"If the Emperor is not there, it is a blessing for me to serve the Emperor."
Pan Jinlian poured tea for the two of them, and looked at the album in Jia Rui's hand with curiosity: "What kind of flowers are these? It's strange."
Jia Rui explained: "This is called sunflower, it is a very interesting plant.
Look, this big plate is its flowers, and there are these yellow petals sitting around it, does it look like the sun?
What’s even more interesting is that the flowers of this thing will always face the sun, facing the east in the morning, and turning to the west in the evening..."
The two listened with relish, and Zhao Jinluo asked again: "Is it good to draw?"
Jia Rui said: "This sunflower is very well drawn, but it is best to add some text instructions next to it, and the height and size of the following ones are standard."
After looking at the others, some were painted like alike, and some were not good at talking. Jia Rui commented one by one.
Zhao Jinluo wrote down one by one and said, "Then I will draw another copy tomorrow and show it to you."
Jia Rui said: "Don't be so anxious. Anyway, Lin Youren's fleet is not ready for a while. Just draw it before he sets off.
Sier is so well drawn, I feel a little reluctant to give it to others~
Alas, when will you give me a self-portrait? It’s best if you don’t wear clothes…”
Pan Jinlian wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, while Zhao Jinluo blushed and said, "Bah! What are you thinking about!
I'm not in a hurry. Who knows when you will go and no one will be seen?
If I won’t draw it then, I will ask who will go? If they don’t draw it like it, they will not find it there, wouldn’t it be mine?”
As he was talking, a little girl came to report that it was the craftsman from the Dan Furnace who invited Jia Rui to see if it was ready for burning.
Jia Rui was overjoyed and rushed over. Zhao Jinluo and Pan Jinlian were also curiously following him.
When I arrived at the side courtyard, I saw a viscous liquid burning yellow and orange in a pot on the stove.
Jia Rui directed the man to pour it out, and then clumsily shaped it into a strange shape. It looked like an upside-down clay pot, but there was a depression like a funnel on the bottom.
After a while, the yellow and orange mucus turned into a translucent solid.
Zhao Jinluo couldn't help but say wonderingly: "Is this...Liuli?"
Jia Rui smiled and said, "This is glass."
"What are you doing for burning this?"
"Dream the sea water~" Jia Rui didn't know if this thing was easy to use.
"I think you really use it to refine alchemy..."
Jia Rui said: "It is used to refine alchemy, but you have to refine some glass first. This is called opening the furnace. Do you understand?"
Zhao Jinluo nodded as if he understood it, then looked at it for a while and said, "Hey, can this glass be made into a cup plate?"
Jia Rui smiled and said, "Of course it can be done. It can be made into glasses and can also replace window paper. The use of glass is more useful."
Zhao Jinluo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Hurry, hurry up, make a few cups, I'm going to sell them to my father!"
Pan Jinlian smiled and said, "It's true that girls are outgoing."
Zhao Jinluo was also a little embarrassed and said angrily: "Sister Pan is also laughing at her!
But you don’t know, which one of Cai Jing and Tong Guan, who was not making a fortune by helping my father collect rare treasures among the people?
Instead of letting them take advantage, it is better to make what we earn ourselves!"
Jia Rui kissed Zhao Jinluo on the face and said, "Si'er is right, that's the reason!
But now you have to explore this thing slowly. The glass you pinched out like this is too thick, and you have to blow it with your mouth to make it thin and even..."
As he said that, he picked up a long iron pipe, dipped it in one end into the crucible and then blew it with his cheeks. Sure enough, the glass liquid was blown up like a pig's urine bubble.
But in a short while, the jujube cracked and blew out something like a wilted cucumber.
"Don't you! Go and find a few candy blowers for me!" Jia Rui cursed.

Jiying Palace.
Zhao Ji sat on the dragon throne with a refreshing spirit. When he saw Jia Rui, he hurriedly asked to give him a seat.
Finally, there was no need to guard the old palace maid every day. With Pan Qiaoyun, who was young, beautiful and true in Jia Rui, accompanied by her, Zhao Ji felt refreshed.
Jia Rui asked with a smile: "The official family looks good!"
Zhao Ji laughed: "Isn't it thanks to the beauty Pan recommended by the real person? As expected, this beauty Pan is in line with my fate, very good, very good!"
Jia Rui pretended to call Zhao Ji's pulse again, took out a small bottle from his arms and said, "The official family will be able to practice twice the result with half the effort!"
Zhao Ji was overjoyed, took it and looked carefully and asked, "What kind of pill is this?"
Jia Rui said: "It's still a sad and ecstasy, but it's a little different from the last recipe."
In fact, this is the red lead pill that Jia Rui copied from Lin Yuncheng. It was crushed and mixed with some lotus root powder.
Anyway, Zhao Ji has not died after eating for so long, so let's continue eating.
After saying a few more nonsense, Zhao Ji was obviously very satisfied with Pan Qiaoyun and did not urge Jia Rui to continue looking for a beautiful woman for him.
"I don't know the queen's disease... Does the real person have a elixir?"
Jia Rui said: "I have already prepared a dose and am about to try it out for the Empress to see how the effect is and then the right medicine is better."
