"Just put the flour here, you have to transport the dates to the back..."

After arriving at home, Xiao Heng and the handlebars removed the things in different categories, and then sent the handlebars out.

"Young Master is back." Xiaodie was a little happy when she saw it.

"Is there anything to ask me for?" Xiao Heng saw that the girl looked flattering, and immediately guessed her thoughts.

"Since the young master went to work on something else, there have always been problems with the pastries here... either the heat is not enough or the baking is too much. It's a lot of money out of thin air. It's okay if it's weak, it's okay to spend some ingredients, but the time it's too late to find it. If each stove can be baked just right, a lot of more pastries can be sold every day!"

Xiaodie pulled Xiao Heng's sleeve and Balabala said it was endless. Obviously, she cared about the fact that Xiao Heng was not here and she made less money.

"That's it..." Xiao Heng thought for a while, "I'll go and study, tomorrow, it should be solved tomorrow."

"Really?" Xiaodie's eyes lit up and she looked at him with anticipation.

"It should be no problem." Xiao Heng thought about it but didn't say he died.

"Thank you, young master." Xiaodie left with a smile, while still calculating how much more money she could earn every day...

...It seems that this girl really likes to make money.

Xiao Heng shook his head and headed towards the backyard.

In the past two days, there have been a few new things in the backyard - a more professional glass furnace, which is built next to the crucible furnace; a new tempering furnace is specially used to heat metal and glass, and can also be used for heating when making iron; there is also a thick and low insulation furnace. Whether it is metal or glass, it must be placed in a preheated insulation furnace after tempering.

"Dangdang...Dangdang..."

As soon as I walked into the backyard, I heard the sound of a blacksmith.

Xiao Heng walked over and saw that Wang Tiechong was concentrating on the steel ingot on the anvil.

Xiao Heng didn't bother him, so he ran to the glass furnace to make a fire, add carbon, and then shook the blower himself.

Hearing the sound of the blower, Wang Tiechhui, who was addicted to ironwork, then raised his head. When he saw Xiao Heng, he was stunned. He hurriedly put down the dark red iron bar in his hand and prepared to come over to help.

"It's okay, you hit you... I'll get you there after a while." Xiao Heng waved his hand quickly.

After spending a while with Xiao Heng, Wang Tiechui discovered that Xiao Heng was not like those young men, officials and merchants outside, and he had no airs and was realistic without saying anything.

Now he said he didn't need it, that's really not, so Wang Tiechui hesitated and went back to make a trick.

Just hit Xiao Heng a few times and then looked up... He always felt that it was not good for Mr. Xiao to work there and not help, but because Xiao Heng said he didn't use it, he couldn't force him to go over and help, so he seemed absent-minded for a while.

"Okay, okay... come here to help." Xiao Heng stopped insisting when he saw his uncomfortable look.

"Here you come." Wang Tiechui immediately threw down the iron block and ran over.

"Push them together... If you don't let you come, the sword will almost be beaten into a horseshoe." Xiao Heng smiled.

"Young Master is joking." Wang Tiechui was embarrassed to say that, so he pushed up the bellows hard.

The fire was red, and the lead and quartz sand were gradually melting.

Xiao Heng picked up an iron pipe, dipped it in the thick glass liquid surface, picked out a piece of glass and started to round the iron platform.

At this time, there was no need to push the bellows, so Wang Tiech came over to take action.

As Xiao Heng blows, the glass slowly bulges like bubble gum... However, due to the effect of gravity, the glass bubble is not stable and will slowly collapse downwards. Xiao Heng keeps rotating the iron pipe on the iron platform, using the action of centrifugal force to make the glass bubbles even.

"Young Master, are you going to make a bottle?" Seeing the glass products gradually take shape, Wang Tiechhui also saw some tricks.

"Similar."

Xiao Heng stared at the red glass bubble with concentration, and from time to time he clamped iron into the middle of the glass bubble with a slight force.

Gradually, the glass bubble gradually changed from a cylindrical shape to a cone with two vertices facing each other.

If modern people look at it here, they will soon find that the shape of this glass bubble is very similar to a medieval timer tool - hourglass.

That's right, what Xiao Heng is going to do is an hourglass.

He had thought about it before, but he gave up before glass. Now Xiaodie asked about the timer issue, he remembered his previous thoughts as soon as possible.

"Can you pull wire or copper wire?" Xiao Heng asked suddenly.

"Uh...you can, young master." Wang Tiechui replied quickly.

"Help pull some iron and copper wires later, to ensure that the thickness is even, the thinner the better." Xiao Heng ordered.

"Okay." Wang Tiechui took the order and went there.

Xiao Heng continued to rub the glass bubbles.

As the connection point in the middle became thinner and thinner, Xiao Heng gradually became less and less easy to control, and the bubbles at the top fell more and more violently.

Looking at the neck still as thick as a finger in the middle, Xiao Heng couldn't help but feel a headache.

If you continue to close the neck, the neck of the glass bubble will not be able to support the weight of the upper part, and it will definitely be crooked or even fall off.

But if it doesn't tighten... the sand on the neck of such a thick neck must whizz down? This can't play a time-keeping role!

Modern crafts bottles are usually heated and placed directly in the mold and blown into a high-pressure gas. If Xiao Heng wants to copy it, the mold part is easy to solve. Where can he do the pipe and high-pressure gas?

If he blows with his mouth, the glass will condense before he finishes blowing... Moreover, the pressure generated by using his mouth is not enough to blow the glass to the mold.

What to do?

In fact, it was very simple. Xiao Heng baked a few more glass sticks and then stuck them directly on the base of the two cones.

In this way, with the support of the glass stick, the inner neck can be tightened very thinly.

After working for most of the day, the first hourglass was finally finished, but this look was a bit terrible.

"Well... it's not bad." Xiao Heng looked at his work with satisfaction, not caring about how ugly it was.

Use pliers to cut the hourglass off the iron pipe, and finally leave one end of the linking iron pipe to fill the mouth of the sand.

After dealing with his own side, Xiao Heng ran to the side to see Wang Tiechu... but was shocked by Wang Tiechu's skills.

"How? The wire is pulled...wow! Great craftsmanship!!"

Several plates of thin and long copper wires were placed on the ground. Xiao Heng picked them up and saw that the diameters of each copper wire were not much different, and the thickness was so uniform that it looked like an industrial product!

This is really a treasure.

After pulling the plate of copper wire in his hand, the net blacksmith gasped and asked, "I wonder what the young master wants to do with this copper wire?"

"Do a fine screen."

Xiao Heng found a few thick wooden boards to form hollow rectangles, then carefully nailed fine nails on the edges, and then weaved thin grids with thin copper wires horizontally.

After a long time of busy sieving, it was done.

There are a lot of quartz sand made of glass next to it. I made some sieve and picked out the right size particles, and finally poured them into the hourglass and then finished.

Watching the sand falling from above the hourglass bit by bit, Xiao Heng silently turned on the stopwatch on his phone.

When the timer jumped to 15 minutes, Xiao Heng hurriedly crossed the hourglass, poured out excess sand, and then heated the hourglass to seal the mouth.
Chapter completed!
