Maowan Village is said to be a village, but it is actually similar to the same township, with hundreds of households.

The main reason is that it is close to the harbor and marina, which attracted a large number of people to settle down, many of them were Central Plains or northerners who migrated to Jianyan after he crossed the south. The family of Liu was the only one. However, as time went by, the Liu family was spreading and expanding to the surrounding rural towns. People in the south could no longer tell the difference.

Most of the villagers near Yanggong Town rely on the harbor to make a living. Almost every household has people working as helpers and crew members at the docks. Those who have studied can also work as managers of all sizes and small businesses in some business offices and even have sex in some yamen in the ports. Many of them do their own business and have wealthy families.

With the continuous expansion of the countryside, in fact, several villages near Yanggong Town have been connected together. There are thousands of households in a radius of dozens of miles, and the boundaries between them are not very clear. Yanggong Town has also formed a size no less than a county town based on the harbor. There are industry institutions that big cities should have here, and there are many business travelers and the situation is very complicated.

There are all kinds of industries in Maowan Village, including car manufacturing, ship repair, iron and grinding surfaces.

The Blacksmith shop is in the northwest direction and the location is somewhat remote.

When Zhao Qi arrived with Yang Dayuan, a shirtless black-faced man wearing a cowhide apron was already waiting in the blacksmith shop. He was burly and sturdy with a big beard on his face. His arms were thicker than Zhao Qi's thighs. He looked like a dark figure, with his own impact enhancement attributes.

"Brother Big Tiger!"

"Thirteenth brother!"

Ermao, Ermazi and Yang Dayuan both smiled and greeted the blacksmith.

"Master Liu!" The blacksmith smiled and said hello after saying hello.

The blacksmith is named Yang Dahu. He is Yang Dayuan's brother. He is considered a relative, but he has been separated from several generations. However, a ancestral hall between the same clan and the same generation has been passed down. As the saying goes, breaking bones and connecting tendons, the ranking of the peers is still very particular, and they are still called brothers and brothers.

"Uncle Dayuan, Uncle Dahu looks quite similar to the blacksmith in the town. Are they also relatives of the Yang family?" When he saw this strong man with black face, Zhao Qi instantly thought of the blacksmith who went to the town to build iron pipes yesterday. Because the two of them looked similar, they were exactly the same burly, tall and strong, and bearded.

"Haha, Brother Qi really doesn't remember it. That's my brother Yang Dabiao!" said the blacksmith with a smile.

"So that's it. I said why is it so similar? Don't blame Uncle Dahu. I don't remember everything I did before!" Zhao Qi suddenly realized and apologized immediately.

"What's the point? Dabiao came back last night and said that our village was stupid... Well, Zhao Dalang went to his place to make a thin iron pipe. I was still wondering why you didn't come to find me!" Yang Dahu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"I just remembered it when I went to the town, so I went to Uncle Da Biao's place. I don't remember Uncle Da Hu running a blacksmith shop in the village!" Zhao Qi explained a little embarrassedly.

"Small things, what do you want to do in the future, come to me. Our brothers are ancestral blacksmiths. Where is the broken big food glass? Take it out and see..."

After a few words, Yang Dahu couldn't wait to speak.

Ermazi opened the wooden box in his arms. Yang Dahu glanced at the heels that were twisted in an instant, and he shook his head with a grin and said, "Don't blame Brother Qi and Mr. Liu. I have seen this glass. Someone used to ask me to repair it before, but I had no idea. I can't use the wrong silver soldering. It will break even more. I'm afraid there is no hope for this bottle to be broken like this!"

"Brother Thirteenth, don't pour cold water first. Master Liu has burned glass objects before. Today I will borrow your stove to use it. Is it different? Go in and take a look first!" Yang Dayuan said with a little depressed expression.

"All of them are prepared according to your requirements. The best charcoal and charcoal, fire bricks and mud are prepared, and the bellows have been renovated..."

Yang Dahu spoke and led a group of people into the blacksmith shop.

A brick and stone house is covered with black everywhere, and a coal-burning brick stove in the center is covered with coal ash and iron filings. Various ironware and iron billets are placed everywhere. The ground is full of various messy objects, hammers, knives, scissors, hooks and pliers are hung on the wall.

Although Old Man Liu was invited to be a master of glass repair, he actually burned porcelain and obviously had no idea about burning glass.

Zhao Qi never did it even before, but at least he knew the general methods and steps. So after some inspection, Zhao Qi put the crucible on the coal stove and compared it. After discussing it with Old Man Liu for a few words, he decided to renovate the furnace first.

Yang Dahu didn't mind the arrangements between Old Man Liu and Zhao Qi. He waved his hand and ordered a few apprentices and helpers to carry water and mud, and then picked up the mud knife and started.

Half an hour later, the furnace was renovated. In order to just put down the crucible, the fire bricks were used to close the mouth until the diameter was only one foot. In order to keep the heat in, a fire brick was used to build a two-foot-high and one-half-closed furnace, so that the heat of the coal fire could be bound inside.

Next, the selected charcoal and coal were placed in the stove and lit it. A thick smoke rose into the air. As the bellows were pulled, the stove quickly burned, and the temperature in the room instantly soared. The sweat beads on the faces of several people rolled down.

"Uncle Dayuan, it's almost done!" Zhao Qi nodded.

"Uncle Thirteen, let everyone go out. Ermao and Ermazi are guarding at the door and don't let anyone come in!"

"Okay!" Ermazi and Ermao nodded and retreated outside the door. Yang Dahu also drove out several big-sleeved and round-waisted helpers and apprentices.

There were only four people left in the room.

"Uncle Liu, what should I do next?" Yang Dayuan asked with a serious expression.

Old man Liu turned to look at Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi smiled and said, "I have discussed with Mr. Liu. This kind of glass is the same as glass. Once it is broken, it cannot be repaired. But we speculate that it can be put into the furnace and re-poured after burning and melting. Because the process is complicated and the color of the glass is rich, it will generally be completely ruined after burning and melting. However, the color of the glass is monotonous, so there is no big difference between making a new one, just like a bronze ware..."

"Hey, Brother Qi'er's idea makes some sense!" Yang Dahu said in surprise.

"Then try it according to Brother Qi and Master Liu. If it succeeds, you will also give an explanation to the Lu family!" Yang Dayuan nodded with his eyes shiny.

Next, it was simple. Zhao Qi poured the broken glass in the wooden box into an iron mortar and pounded it into pieces with an iron pestle. Yang Dayuan and Liu Laoer used pottery and mud to make molds, and Yang Dahu was responsible for the fire.

Soon Zhao Qi put the pounded broken glass into the crucible and put it on the stove. Yang Dahu pulled the bellows and began to heat it. As the furnace fire of more than a foot high came out from the bottom of the crucible, coupled with the blockage of the surrounding furnaces, the flames directly wrapped the crucible with a diameter of only more than a foot. The whole furnace was red, and the heat wave rolled out from the furnace mouth. The temperature of the room suddenly rose a lot again. The strong flame breath made Zhao Qi feel a little unable to breathe.
