"Lao Tian, there may be something wrong with this batch of raw materials. Clean out all the glass liquid in the furnace."
Unable to find the problem, Jin Feng simply started over from scratch.
"okay!"
The worker who went to notify Jin Feng quickly took out his tools, cleaned out the glass liquid from the furnace and poured it into the sink.
Tsk tsk tsk!
White smoke rose into the sky, and the water in the pool immediately boiled.
The liquid glass also condenses quickly and turns into various glass blocks.
Although Jin Feng knew the formula and production method of glass, after all, he was not a professional at doing this in his previous life, and his experiments failed countless times.
The workers have long been used to it.
Lao Tian was busy cleaning the stove, while the other two workers used shovels and brooms to clean up the small glass pieces on the ground.
Wow!
The glass blocks were dumped haphazardly into a large basket.
Princess Ninth walked over and took a look, and found that the basket was full of various glass blocks and broken glass slag.
At this time, the sun was shining in through the window, and the glass in the basket was shaking so much that Princess Ninth couldn't open her eyes.
"Old man, how should we deal with these?"
The Ninth Princess took a few steps back, pointed at the big basket and asked.
"What else can I do? Crush it and send it to the back mountain for burial!"
The worker who was working did not know the identity of the Ninth Princess and answered casually.
"Crushed...crushed and buried?"
Princess Ninth's eyes widened, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.
In her opinion, all these glasses are money!
Even if it was a failure, it was much better than what she had seen in the palace.
With just a little bit of treatment, it can be sold for sky-high prices in the capital.
"My lord, could you please give me a way?"
Lao Tian used large pliers to pick out the solidified glass block from the pool and threw it onto the stone platform in the corner.
At the other end of the stone platform is a large stone roller, specially used to crush broken glass.
The glass blocks fished out of the pool were too big to be easily crushed, so Lao Tian smashed them with a pair of iron pliers.
Wow!
A piece of glass as big as a washbasin was smashed into several parts, making a harsh sound.
Princess Ninth felt that her heart was broken along with the glass.
Seeing Lao Tian pick up a larger piece of glass from the pool, Princess Ninth, who had always been calm and composed, stamped her feet anxiously.
He walked up to Jin Feng in a few steps and said, "Sir, that old man smashed the water jade and said he would crush it and bury it!"
"Glass can easily hurt people, so of course it must be crushed and buried."
Jin Feng, who was weighing the fine sand, turned around and said, "Old Liang, remember to crush it, find a place where no one is around, and bury it deeper."
In fact, the normal treatment process should be to return the broken glass to the furnace and reburn it, but Jin Feng is now testing the most reasonable formula. He cannot mix failed products with test raw materials at will, and can only bury them deeply.
"Sir, don't worry."
The worker agreed, called a companion, and carried the big basket to the stone platform.
"etc!"
When the Ninth Princess saw Lao Tian and the others preparing to grind a glass block with a stone roller, she quickly stopped and then looked at Jin Feng: "Sir, do you know how much this basket of jade will be worth if it is sent to the capital?"
"In terms of quality, these glasses of mine should be no worse than the ones given to Your Majesty by the Japanese envoys. I guess they can be sold for a lot of money, right?" Jin Feng replied with a smile.
It was precisely because he knew this that Jin Feng asked Lao Tian and the others to grind the failed products into powder to prevent anyone from digging them up after they were buried.
"Since you knew, why did you let them crush it and bury it? Isn't this a waste of natural resources?" asked the Ninth Princess.
"I don't know if Your Highness has ever heard of such a saying. Products produced by Xihewan must be high-quality products!"
Jin Feng said: "I can't smash my own brand. If I can't do better, forget it. But I can obviously strive for excellence, so I can't fool around. This is the spirit of craftsmanship!"
He was planning to use glass to make money, but he didn't want to be as shameless as the Phoenicians and Italians, who just used defective products to fool people.
In fact, Jin Feng knew that even if he sent failed products to the capital, the wealthy nobles who had never seen the world would definitely rob them, and he could still make a lot of money.
From an economic perspective, high-quality products and defective products have almost the same meaning.
However, the main raw material of glass is sand, and the cost is almost negligible. Since it is necessary, Jin Feng still wants to make high-quality products.
Even if you cheat people, you still have to be sincere.
Anyway, it's just a matter of doing it.
Jin Feng raised the topic to the level of craftsmanship. What else could the Ninth Princess say?
"Sir, since you have already made a plan, Wuyang won't say anything more."
The Ninth Princess looked back at the glass block on the stone platform, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her face looked distressed.
Realizing that Lao Tian and the others had already begun to inspect the stone rollers, Princess Ninth bit her lips, pointed at the broken glass on the stone platform and said, "Sir, can you...can you give them to me?"
As a royal daughter, the Ninth Princess has never asked anyone for anything since she became sensible.
But who knew that Jin Feng would reject her without hesitation: "No!"
Glass is valuable because of its rarity.
Diamonds from previous lives are the best example.
The essence of diamond is just a kind of stone, but those diamond dealers are hyping it like crazy in order to make money.
The brainwashing advertisement "A diamond is forever, a diamond lasts forever" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and diamonds are hyped as a testimony of love.
In fact, there are not many diamonds on the earth, but in order to sell them at high prices, diamantaires have joined forces to control diamond production, creating the illusion that diamonds are scarce and valuable.
Later, artificial diamonds appeared, and their color and texture were no worse than natural diamonds, or even better.
When diamantaires saw that this was wrong, they began to hype the artistry of natural diamonds again, saying that synthetic diamonds were a stain on love.
Nonsence!
In his previous life, Jin Feng had a classmate who spent 70,000 yuan on a natural diamond ring for his wife when they got married.
Later, there was an emergency at home, and my wife wanted to sell the ring to deal with the emergency.
As a result, I visited many jewelry stores, but they all refused to recycle it because the diamond was hard and difficult to reshape.
The manager of the jewelry store that finally sold her the diamond saw that she was really anxious, so he secretly told her that the jewelry store would not recycle diamonds and suggested that she try a pawn shop.
When she went to the pawn shop and asked, they only gave her 8,000 yuan, not a cent more.
My classmate's wife was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but in the end she didn't sell it.
Diamonds have no practical value and cannot be used as hard currency. The reason why they are expensive is the added value brought about by hype and rarity.
With such a good marketing case, Jin Feng naturally wanted to learn from it.
So from the beginning, Jin Feng planned to strictly control the amount of glass flowing out.
There is a lot of broken glass on the stone platform. If it is given to the Ninth Princess, it will definitely cause market turmoil, which completely goes against Jin Feng's plan.
Of course he couldn't agree.
"Wu Yang is taking the liberty!"
The Ninth Princess had her own pride, so when she saw that Jin Feng didn't agree, she stopped forcing her.
I just feel disappointed in my heart.
After spending this time together, Princess Ninth felt that her relationship with Jin Feng had become very good, so she asked for the broken glass.
But Jin Feng would rather smash the glass than give it to her.
The Ninth Princess suddenly felt aggrieved...

I recommend the new work "Survival in the Wilderness: My Luck Is a Billion Points Better" by my good friend "I don't ask for help". It is updated five times a day, with a large volume and frequent updates. It will soon reach one million words, and it is already fat.
