Although Li Qi behaved very coolly in Feng Yinu, did he really dare to be so careless? Obviously not, and he couldn't afford to lose this person! So for several days in a row, he stayed in the imperial dining room and the left room during the day.
Bo Qing is preparing for the Wuxiang Banquet, but Wuxiang is different from other dishes after all. The ingredients alone have to be prepared for several days. Everything from the health of each cow and sheep to the quality of each scallop must be carefully prepared.
filter.
At night, he would practice dancing with Ji Hongnu or Bai Qiannuo behind closed doors. His dancing talent was really not as good as Feng Yinu's, but he was the one who brought this waltz, and his understanding of the waltz was higher than that of Feng Yinu.
One step ahead, so you don't fall behind. If you don't practice, it won't work.
After several days of intensive preparations, the materials have been prepared. There are a total of eighty-one kinds of materials, large and small, and some materials have also gone through preliminary processing. This is also thanks to the fact that they are made in the imperial dining room. If they were moved to
If you do it in Zuixianju, then you don’t know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Li Qi just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but Feng Yinu sent someone to tell her that she was almost done practicing and could start practicing together.
After working in the imperial kitchen for half a day, Li Qi said goodbye to Zuo Boqing. He had to go back and rest for half a day. Facing Feng Yinu, a very nervous woman, he did not dare to be careless. Moreover, the dance practice tonight was arranged at
After entering Master Li's attic, he had to be more cautious, so he planned to go back to recharge his batteries.
Back at Zuixianju, Li Qi saw Wu Furong standing on the counter and smiled to himself. It seemed that the old man couldn't stand it any longer. He walked up to him and asked with a smile: "Uncle Wu, why don't you sit in a good office?"
Are you going to stand here and suffer?"
Wu Furong said depressedly: "I'd rather stand here and suffer. If nothing happens, I can talk to a few old customers. It's much more interesting. Since Tian Carpenter and the others left, the company is full of young people, and I can't talk to them.
A few words, don’t mention how boring it is.”
Li Qi nodded and said: "That's true. That's okay, you can figure it out yourself. If you think this place is good, then come here."
Wu Furong said happily: "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Li Qi smiled and nodded. In fact, he had always been very tolerant of Wu Furong.
Wu Furong said cheerfully: "The old man can still stay here in the future. Mr. Zheng is here in the company, so the old man can rest assured."
Li Qi asked: "By the way, how did Zheng Erlang do?"
Wu Furong clicked his tongue and said: "This is really not an exaggeration. Erlang's talent is definitely not in vain. In the first few days, he was not familiar with our accounting process, but after more than ten days, he was completely familiar with it.
Once, he competed with three employees in our accounting department to settle accounts, but the three of them couldn't beat him alone."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"Absolutely true."
Li Qi suddenly leaned over and asked, "What about Madam? Did Madam go to the accounting department?"
Wu Furong was stunned, shook his head and said: "Madam is still like before, reading in the office. She usually waits for Qiniang to go back to the house together, and rarely goes out. Why do you ask this?"
As soon as these words came out, he reacted and glared at Li Qi angrily. "Don't always smear Madam. It's not like you don't know that Madam is afraid of these rumors."
"Just ask, just ask." Li Qi chuckled and said, "Then I'll go to the kitchen first and come out later."
Wu Furong nodded and suddenly remembered something. He said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, I forgot to tell you something else. In fact, I came to see you today."
"What's the matter?"
"Someone came from the glaze workshop this morning and said that what you asked for has been made---oh, hey, I haven't finished talking yet."
As he said this, Li Qi immediately rushed out.
"drive...."
Li Qi and Ma Qiao first hurried back to the Qin Mansion and took out three linen bags from the room. They changed carriages and went to the Liuli Workshop in Beicheng. Now the workshop has nearly tripled in size and is specially used to produce chalk.
Blackboard, clay pot, etc.
Chalk, in particular, has become very popular now. Children from poor families, as well as literati and imperial students, all love this chalk very much. But there is only one workshop in the world that can make it, so the business is not good and it is famous throughout the country.
But all the money went to Taishi College, and Li Qi took no money from it. He really didn't like this small profit, but it relieved Cai Jing a lot of pressure.
"Sir, you are here."
Zheng Quan seemed to have been waiting for Li Qi in front of the door. When he saw Li Qi coming, he quickly went to greet him.
Li Qixi said: "Uncle Wu said that what I want has been done. Is that true?"
Zheng Quan's eyes were shining brightly and he nodded secretly a few times.
"Take me to see it quickly."
"yes."
The two came to Zheng Quan's suite. Now that they were rich, Li Qi's treatment for these skilled workers was very high. The three craftsmen involved in the development of glass all had their own suites, instead of just living there in the past.
Got a bed inside the cabin.
"Maqiao, you are guarding the door. No one is allowed in."
"oh."
When the two of them entered the house, the other two masters had already been waiting there. When they saw Li Qilai, they quickly stepped forward to salute.
Li Qidao: "These are all free, please take them out for me to see?"
"yes."
Zheng Quan was seen walking quickly to the bedroom. After a while, he came out and came across an iron box. The box was not big, but it had eight locks.
After Zheng Quan opened all eight locks one by one, he opened the lid.
Li Qi probed over and took a look, and was stunned. He saw three tall red wine glasses of different sizes placed in the box. At first glance, they were no different from those of later generations. The purity was already very high. This pair of Li Qi
Qi Lie was so familiar that his eyes were full of tears. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and slowly picked up a cup. He observed it carefully and found that although there were still slight flaws in some places, for this era,
It was perfect enough, and he murmured: "This is really a shocking work!"
After Zheng Quan and others heard this, they felt really relieved, clenched their fists with excitement, and filled their eyes with tears. In fact, when they first made it, they all cried with joy and hugged their heads and cried. It was really not easy.
.
Li Qi kept his eyes on the cup, waved his hand and said: "The unparalleled cup I gave you last time. Have you finished drinking it?"
Zheng Quan said honestly and kindly: "It's--it's not over yet. In fact, we are reluctant to drink it."
"Then bring it quickly."
"oh."
Zheng Quan ran to the side room again and brought a jar of Tianxia Wushuang.
"Pour it on, pour it on it. Wait a minute, have you disinfected it?"
"disinfect?"
"Then there is no more."
Li Qi waved his hand again and said: "Get some hot water to wash the cup first."
Soon, the hot water was delivered. Li Qi carefully washed all three cups, then placed them on the table, lined them up, and said happily: "Pour them all for me. Haha."
Zheng Quan responded and carefully poured wine into the glass, only to see a wisp of orange unparalleled in the world slip into the glass silently.
When almost a third of it was poured in, Li Qi hurriedly said: "That's enough, that's enough."
Zheng Quan quickly stopped and poured the same proportion of wine into the remaining two glasses.
I saw that Wushuang in the world seemed to be alive in this tall wine glass, extremely agile, glowing with a charming halo, crystal clear.
"Wow! So beautiful."
The four of them were squatting half-crouched, staring blankly at the three glasses of wine on the table.
After a while, Li Qi suddenly picked up the second largest wine glass, shook it gently, lowered his head slightly and smelled it. Zheng Quan and the others looked at it with such intoxication that they were all mesmerized.
The four grown men, in a quiet atmosphere, enjoyed the aroma of wine. In other words, they were enjoying this joy. After all, this was the result of their 365 days and nights of hard work.
ah.
The hardships, difficulties, and depression all disappeared at this moment. Being able to see such a beautiful wine glass made them feel that their efforts in the past year were very worthwhile.
After a while, Li Qi suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and thought to himself, if I use this wine glass at the Wuxiang Banquet soon, it will definitely shock the whole audience, and the emperor will definitely be very happy.
.No, no, this glass contains huge profits. It is inevitable that the emperor will not be tempted. What should I do if he asks me for the secret recipe? If this secret recipe falls into the hands of that foolish king, it will be stolen soon.
Just bear with it a little longer. Thinking of this, he suddenly handed the wine glass to Zheng Quandao: "I don't drink, you can drink." After saying that, he sat on his seat, poured a cup of tea and took a sip.
Zheng Quan held the wine glass dully and said anxiously: "Proprietor, is there something wrong?"
Li Qi was stunned, pointed at his face, and asked: "Does this look like a dissatisfied expression on my face?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't think too much, just enjoy it quickly, because before I leave, all three cups will be destroyed."
The three of them felt heartbroken for such a beautiful cup, but they didn't dare to say anything and drank quickly. It was so beautiful.
After they had finished enjoying, Li Qi said with a smile: "I know that you have worked hard for several months to get your cup, but it is ruined like this. I am so sorry to you, but you must also understand that what you are engaged in is not production, but
There is an essential difference in research. Production lies in quantity, while research lies in quality. You can never stay at a certain stage, but you must continue to work hard and strive to develop better ones. As far as this wine glass is concerned, it is already the best
Okay, but it’s not the most perfect, because there is no perfection in this world, only better. When you make better ones, then this kind will definitely be eliminated. I just did it in advance, do you understand?
?”
The three of them nodded at the same time.
Li Qi added: "As for why I destroyed them in advance, I have told you a long time ago. I don't want anyone to know that there is a fifth person in the world who knows about the existence of this thing. This is my bottom line. Everything else is easy to say.
, once I hear that the news is leaked, don’t blame me for being unkind.”
Zheng Quan sang: "Proprietor, please rest assured, we will definitely keep the secret and never let others know."
The other two people also quickly expressed their opinions.
In fact, telling them would do them no good at all, because they don't even know the ingredients of glass now, and all the raw materials were prepared by Li Qi.
"very good."
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "You have worked hard these days, and you have made such a big breakthrough. You deserve a reward. Let's do this. Master Zheng, you will get eighty guan, and you two will each get 50 guan."
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
Now the wages of the three of them are definitely at the top of the migrant workers in Tokyo. If you leave aside the shares, Xiaoyu's wages are not as high as theirs. This also reflects from the side that in Li Qi's eyes, technical talents
It must always be higher than management talent.
Li Qi smiled and said: "I will give you seven days off. During these seven days, you can go back and enjoy family happiness with your family. But after seven days, the new work is about to begin." He said as he started to take a few of the things he had just brought.
The linen bag pointed and said: "Try the raw materials contained in this to see if you can smelt better colored glaze. I have also brought the precautions and procedures."
As he spoke, he took out a small book from his arms, handed it to Zheng Quan, and said: "In addition to what I just said, there are two lenses drawn at the end of this book, and I also wrote the specifications on it.
This is your most important work next, and I hope you can do it as soon as possible."
Lenses? Zheng Quan opened the small book and saw two concave and convex lenses drawn at the end, with detailed numerical values. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
