Jia Lian had never thought of creating a large-scale industrial automated production like in the future. He only needed to make a piece of flat glass that was five square meters in size every day. It was enough. If he couldn't sell too much, it would be a waste!
His primary goal was to become rich. As for the great goal of promoting technological progress in the world and benefiting all mankind, it was not within his consideration.
Therefore, after lowering his requirements again and again, Jia Lian finally found out with joy that this matter was basically, maybe, or could be done!
"Man 'er, do you still have paper? The eyebrows are gone, bring some more!”Jia Lian buried his head in writing and drawing, urging him.
Heng 'Er and Man' Er looked at each other. Second Old Master had filled up a few pages. Although they didn't know what it was, they were definitely very important.
Hence, Man 'er immediately closed the door and Heng' er ran out with her skirt.
After a while, Heng 'er still hadn't returned.
Man 'er was so anxious that she stood on her tiptoes to look around.
Jia Lian really couldn't write on the window paper anymore and said angrily,"Why haven't you brought it over yet? If you delay Second Master's fortune, I'll teach you a lesson!”
"Yo, what kind of power is Second Master showing off?”Sister Phoenix smiled as she walked in. She picked up something that looked like a scribble and waved it in the air.
"What is this? It was so ugly! If you set up a stall on the roadside to sell calligraphy and paintings, not only would you not be able to sell them, but you might even be beaten up!”
Jia Lian hurriedly held her hand," My dear, this is all white silver!”She carefully took the window paper.
When Sister Feng saw that Jia Lian was so serious, she stopped smiling." Second Master, what are you doing? Heng 'er came looking for me just now, saying that you urgently need a pen and paper. You scared the old lady so much that she thought you wanted to study and even chanted Amitabha a few times! Even Madam was surprised and didn't dare to delay your future. She immediately called the servant to bring back a set of Four Treasures of the Study from Second Uncle's study.
Second Uncle had even personally picked out a few books from the Four Books and Five Classics and asked Bao to send them over. He said that even though it was a little late for enlightenment, as long as he worked hard, it would still be better than not reading at all! He reminded me several times, and my ears are getting calluses.”
As she spoke, she leaned over and asked Jia Lian to look at her ears.
Jia Lian took off her pendant and tied the window paper together.
Phoenix Sister was furious. She held his hand and said coquettishly,"Second Master, just tell me!"
"Do you still remember what I told you?" Jia Lian laughed."I can make glass that's bigger than your brick bed."”
Sister Phoenix's beautiful eyes lit up." Is what you said true? I only know that you're lying!"
Jia Lian did not argue with her." Where's the pen and paper? I haven't finished writing yet!" When I'm done, the first thing I'll do is make a full-length mirror that's taller than you. Then, you can throw away your precious brick bed screen!”
Sister Phoenix curled her lips." There's no sign of her at all! If you really succeed, I'll be convinced by you!”
The two of them were bickering on one side, while Ping 'er and Su' er had already prepared a pen and paper on the other side.
Jia Lian picked up his brush and Feng Jie grinded the ink for him, curious about what he wanted to write.
Jia Lian dipped it in ink and wrote a few words before stopping. He picked it up and sighed,"Iron strokes and golden hooks. As expected, it's still so well written in another place!”
"Bah!" Sister Phoenix picked up the ink stick." I gave you some color and you started a dye workshop. Tell me, what did you write?”He pretended to imprint the ink on Jia Lian's body.
Jia Lian knew that the famous Feng Lazi was illiterate, so he pointed out each word to her," Float glass manufacturing process!"
Sister Phoenix's eyes lit up, and she looked as if she didn't know what was going on. She immediately held the few pages of window paper in her hand, as if a mountain of gold and silver was right in front of her.
Jia Lian thought as he wrote. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he would first write it down.
Anyway, they didn't know what was written, so they didn't have to worry about leaking the secret.
Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian, who was deep in thought. A serious man was the most charming, and a man who could earn money and was serious was even more charming!
Jia Lian wrote for a long time before he stopped.
Sister Phoenix thoughtfully handed him a cup of tea and said gently,"Second Master, are you done? When do we start? Is it difficult?"
Jia Lian raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp." I'm done." It was definitely difficult. How could something that was hundreds of years ahead of him not be difficult? But then again, if it wasn't difficult and anyone could do it, it wouldn't be worth much. As for when to start work, that would depend on…Aiya!”
Jia Lian cried out in alarm, then pushed Sister Feng away and ran back in a hurry.
Sister Feng looked blankly at Jia Lian, who had already lifted the curtain to go out." Why are you so surprised? Let's go and take a look!"
She put away the paper on the table and followed him curiously with a few maids.
Entering the inner room, he saw Jia Lian sitting on the edge of the Kang. The short table was covered with ingots of all sizes, as well as a few paper bills, broken silver, and scattered money. He was counting them one by one!
Sister Phoenix burst out laughing." I thought Second Master had another idea! So he was counting his belongings! Ping 'er, Su' er, go and help Second Master count. Is there a total of 100 taels?”
Other than the weight engraved on the silver ingots and the words written on the paper tickets, how did Jia Lian know how much they were worth? He was really at his wit's end!
"Good Ping Er, quickly take a look! Don't count wrong!" Jia Lian looked at her eagerly.
"Second Master, your family has been saving for so long that you don't even know how much you have?"”Her voice was clear and crisp.
Su 'er took out a pail and weighed the silver pieces.
The two girls attacked together and chanted.
After a while, Su 'er smiled and said,"Second Master, your total is 256.7 taels of money."”
Jia Lian's eyes widened." I only have this little bit of silver? I'm really poor!"
He sighed." Forget it, it's a rare method! Ping 'er, take out 200 taels and keep the rest.”He was still boasting about thousands of dollars earlier, but he was slapped in the face by reality so quickly.
He was short of money!
Sister Phoenix gracefully walked over. She didn't even look at the pile of silver that was of different colors, old and new. She smiled and said,"Second Master, how much do you lack? I'll make it up to you."
Jia Lian held Sister Feng's hand and smiled,""How could I forget about you, a rich woman? You even said that you would give me 200 taels! Then I have 450 taels in total!”
"I don't know how much money you need, but I know that everything is difficult at the beginning. The more prepared we are, the better!" If I send you 500 taels, I'll even make up for the 300 taels that First Master and the others extorted!”
She saw Jia Lian's happy face and spat,""You have to remember that if you earn money, you have to pay Old Lady and Madam double!”
"Alright, alright!" Jia Lian took the silver from Ping 'er's hands." Not only will I have to return the old lady and the madam's money, I will also have to return your dowry of two hundred taels."”He kept it carefully and planned to buy materials tomorrow.
"It's good that you know!" Sister Feng laughed.”
