Chapter 426: Dahu’s Classmate
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu wanted to go to the black market to sell things to make money, and the first thing she thought of was glass.
This thing was said to be imported, so its origin would not be very abrupt. Moreover, one could tell at a glance that it was a good thing.
Quartz sand was the most important material for making glass. She had seen it before in Jiangyuan County. She had the raw materials, but the melting point of the Quartz sand was high. It was impossible to reach such a temperature in this day and age. She could only find a way to lower the melting temperature of the Quartz sand.
This required something else.
Shu Yu was busy. Just preparing these things took a day.
This was not enough. She had to find a place to bake it.
Of course, the best was the kiln used to make porcelain. Unfortunately, in Jiangyuan County, such a kiln was controlled by the rich. If she wanted to borrow it, it would be a lot of trouble.
Therefore, she could only look for something else. After thinking about it, the only thing she could think of was a blacksmith’s shop.
However, the furnace could not be used, but some basic tools could still be borrowed.
Coincidentally, the Fan family was in the porcelain business. It seemed that she would have to trouble the second daughter of the Ding family again.
Therefore, in the evening, Ding Yuehua came over to inform her of the date of the wedding. Shu Yu took the opportunity to ask to borrow some of the Fan family’s porcelain tools.
They were all relatively common, so Ding Yuehua naturally had no objections.
With everything ready, Shu Yu felt much more at ease.
The next day, she didn’t go out. Dahu’s classmates were coming, and she promised to make popcorn for them.
Dahu had a day off today. Early in the morning, he got up excitedly and put on his clothes. After tidying up the house, he ran off to find Shu Yu.
Shu Yu could not help but laugh when she saw his solemn appearance.
However, when she walked out of the room, she realized that it was not only Dahu who was nervous. The old lady, Sanya, and Daya, who had stayed at home to help, had also put on clean clothes. They had specially dressed up and tidied themselves up.
Although they didn’t seem to be acting strangely on the surface and seemed very calm, their actions were very subtle.
Shu Yu went to wash her face and took the wooden hairpin that Lu Erbai had given her yesterday. Then, she went to do what she needed to do.
At midnight, voices came from outside the door, occasionally mixed with “Is this the place?” asked.
Dahu had been in the courtyard the whole time. When he heard the noise, he immediately ran to open the door.
As expected, when the door opened, he saw one of his classmates raising his hand to knock.
Dahu’s eyes lit up and he said happily, “You’re here? Come in quickly.”
The students were all young. After all, the Shuxian School was a school for enlightenment. The oldest was only the ten-year-old classmate who was standing at the front and planning to knock on the door.
Therefore, when these kids went out, their families were worried.
However, there were also a few people whose families were not bad. They had servants at home, so behind these primary school students were two families ‘old women and manservants.
They didn’t come in. After sending him off, they smiled and nodded at Shu Yu, who was walking towards them. “Our young master will have to trouble you.”
After saying that, they left and waited until the afternoon to pick them up.
As soon as she left, the group of children entered one after another. They first politely greeted the Lu family members in the courtyard, then stood at the side cautiously.
Sanya hid behind the old lady and looked curiously at her brother’s classmates who were about the same age as her but had read a lot and were very capable.
