The most commonly used drinking tool nowadays is the tea cup.
Some people may use bamboo tubes for portability and resistance to falling.
The capacity of the tea cup is too small. For Xiao Nianzhi, after adding half a bowl of ingredients, the remaining space plus liquid may be consumed in a few sips, which is not enough to enjoy it.
In fact, the capacity of the bamboo tube is not large. If it is old bamboo, it is fine, and it is strong enough, but if it is not thick enough, it is not too big.
There is glass in Dajin, and of course the current name is: Liuli.
However, due to the influence of mixing ratio, heat, etc., the texture of the colored glaze is not good, and some even contain bubbles.
Moreover, because there are many raw materials involved, some ratios are unclear and the failure rate is high, resulting in increased costs.
Therefore, even if it is an official kiln, the quantity produced is not large.
It is also for this reason that ordinary people may never see colored glaze in their lives. Among the rich and powerful, most people with rich wealth and high status will have such things in their houses.
Moreover, the quantity will not be particularly large.
Xiao Nianzhi also doesn’t know the ratio of glass, what kind of soap, cement, glass, cannon...
She doesn’t know anything!
Ah, I probably remember, mononitrate, carbon, and trisulfur?
It's actually of no use, so don't remember it, what if you blow yourself up?
Burning glass yourself is not realistic for the time being.
Then we can only use existing materials to make tools that are more convenient for holding drinks.
Bamboo tubes are one option, but there is actually another option...
Wooden cup.
Wooden cups are more durable than bamboo tubes and are resistant to falling. They are also resistant to boiling and can be sterilized at high temperatures.
It’s just this thing that costs money to make.
I don’t know if the academy’s budget is enough. Read the book
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi thought about the molds he needed.
Manager Qiu is the purchasing manager. After a day of work today, Xiao Nianzhi has already started talking to him.
As long as she can come up with the drawings for the necessary purchasing tools, the other party will be responsible for going down the mountain to order them.
Because the mold was customized for the college canteen, the cost is considered to belong to the college, and Xiao Nianzhi does not need to pay for it himself.
It seems that I have to draw out the drawings when I go back tonight.
When I thought about using a brush to draw these, Xiao Nian's head started to hurt again.
She should be lucky that she learned soft-pen calligraphy from her grandfather for two years when she was a child, and she still has the memory of the original owner, so her handwriting can barely be read now.
However, she is still not used to it!
Turning the meat skewers over, Xiao Nianzhi quickly took the meat skewers away and sprinkled some dry ingredients on the cluster of floating flames.
The tongue of fire was suppressed, and Xiao Nianzhi put the meat skewers back again.
There are also grilled eggplants, mushrooms and the like on the side.
In fact, Xiao Nianzhi wanted to try the fat sausage and green onions, but...
I think about Fat Chang, but I’m afraid that other people won’t be able to accept it.
After all, it is really troublesome to handle. You have to rub it repeatedly with plant ash. It is best to remove the grease inside, so that the taste will be better.
Of course, the process also requires the use of heavy ingredients to suppress its own not-so-good taste.
Thinking of the troublesome process and the acceptance of others, Xiao Nianzhi temporarily gave up the idea.
The aroma of meat skewers continued to drift into the distance, and some students who didn't eat late-night snacks came over unconsciously.
Because the rich aunt later set up a limited quantity, everyone was able to queue up quickly and have a little taste.
If students want to eat, they need to queue up and back again and again.
Seeing that King Wei and Yan Changxia were having a great time, someone had the idea to get close to them.
After all, there are many royal relatives here in the academy.
There are people like Zhou Yuxing who are too timid to take the lead.
There are also people like Song Jue who are brave and dare to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
King Wei has a good temperament and usually does not lose his temper, so if he takes the initiative to try it, he might have good results.
Song Jue boldly came over to test it out. King Wei did not object and even invited him to join him.
Seeing that Song Jue really succeeded, many people were ready to take action.
They decided to wait and see the situation.
After Song Jue sat down, Aunt Yu said softly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Song, for your intervention that night."
Aunt Yu later confirmed with Xiao Siye that it was indeed Song Jue who offered help that night.
Although essentially it is because Song Jue and Zhou Yuxing have a bad relationship.
But regardless of the reason, the other party did speak at that time, which was a kind of relief and help to Xiao Nianzhi.
It was just a thank you, and nothing was missing, so Aunt Yu took the initiative to speak.
Song Jue did not expect that Aunt Yu would mention what happened that day, so she smiled humbly: "No, no, it should be."
Song Jue thinks it’s great if he can sit on the table. At this time, don’t praise him!
Hearing what he said, Aunt Yu nodded and said nothing more.
Song Jue, who was on the table, finally realized the freedom of grilling skewers.
Finally biting into the meat skewers he had been thinking about all night, Song Jue couldn't help but squint his eyes and shake his head slightly in enjoyment.
When he handed the grilled meat skewers to Hongshuang again, Xiao Nianzhi turned around and saw a familiar baby-faced young man sitting at the table of King Wei and the others.
Huh?
Isn’t this Song Jue?
Xiao Siye mentioned it afterward, and Aunt Yu also asked about it.
Xiao Nianzhi now simply clarified the relationship between these people.
Zhou Yuxing is the nephew of Concubine Rong who has been favored in recent years, while Song Jue is the nephew of Concubine Rong who has always been favored by the Sixth Palace.
If Concubine Rong is favored, she must share the favor of the noble concubine, so the two of them can be said to be incompatible and fight to the death.
This directly led to the discord between the two mother clans.
The imperial concubine is the biological mother of the third prince, and Lu Jingyuan now sides with the third prince.
The reason is very simple, that is, Lu Jingyuan’s goddess Bai Yueguang is the third prince’s concubine.
Even to ensure the happiness and status of the woman he loves, Lu Jingyuan has to take sides.
However, Lu Jingyuan's current official rank is low and what he can do is limited, so whether he is from the Queen's faction or Concubine Rong's faction, we don't know yet.
It was also for this reason that he was able to use some means to get engaged to a girl from the Zhou family.
If he had jumped out and revealed his identity, no matter what, the Zhou family would not be able to marry a girl from the clan to a rival subordinate.
This layered relationship is complex and subtle.
Xiao Nianzhi couldn't help but think...
Does the Third Prince really know nothing about Lu Jingyuan’s thoughts?
Not necessarily.
However, who can resist an obedient and useful dog?
The royal family is weak in affection, and for the royal children, interests far outweigh feelings.
Of course, everything is Xiao Nianzhi's guess. As for the situation inside, we need to find out later.
However, the imperial power is too far away from her, and she probably won't be able to find out anything for a while.
