Chương 577: Glassblowing (1)

"You just keep giving me reasons to fall further and further in love with you, Renna~!"

The red head blushed as I squeezed her ass whilst standing beside her, my whisper undoubtedly turning her on even more than she had already been since she was pressing herself against me with rather clear intentions that I very much shared.

And yet, sadly the red head gave me a kiss before whispering back "I would love nothing more than to head on downstairs and start mating like Rabbitkin in heat, but Astra... if we start, when would we stop? You have work to do, my love... but I'll be downstairs soon to remind you to take a break~!"

Pushing me away gently, Renna smiled at me before making her way over to Rhefia, and I watched the entire time as she said something to my wife before setting herself down on the couch, where she was able to pull out her breasts and give Aka something to quench her appetite... if that was at all possible.

Seeing her do so was rather arousing, that motherly charm that she had already begun to accumulate despite not being a Mother just yet working on more than just the children as they rushed to settle on her lap.

I wanted to very much so take their place on her lap, but I could only sigh reluctantly as I watched everyone else gather around the Duchess and the Deerkin, with Shelur glancing at me and showing a desire to go downstairs with me, but the moment I sensed her gaze, Renna did as well, and she beckoned for the Orc to come and sit beside her before saying something to her that I couldn't hear.

Pouting at how I was being treated, I let out a huff and went into the comfort of my basement as I decided to ignore the socializations happening in the living room and instead focus on making everyone in my family happy by earning us an entire boatload of Gold in the easiest possible way that I could think of at the moment~!

Well, passive income anyways, since the easiest~ way I could think of actually earning us a large quantity of money was to go find a club or brothel and enjoy myself for a night or three before coming home with probably a Noble's ransom and then some, especially if it went anywhere near as well as it did with Suu back in Tusk City.

Reaching the crafting room I had made specifically for glass, I sighed as I began to go over the materials I had on hand in an attempt to come up with some more ideas for the bottles I wanted to sell, and how to make them unique.

I had some extra rocks that I could grind up to try and color the glass - I doubt that would normally work if I did everything by hand, but with my System being incredible and perfect and amazing like it was, I could probably make colored glass relatively easily - and I could also make wax from plants grown at home like candelilla or if I found wax myrtle trees, which would be another piece of decoration on the bottles.

To start though I needed to go ahead and begin making each bottle individually so that I could then save the bottle as it's own recipe inside of my system to reproduce once more, something that I had been able to do but never really had much need to do so.

I mean, I hadn't had to replicate any of my unique creations just yet, since all of the family's weapons hadn't broken, and the house itself was made from standardized recipes, so... there was that.

But now I would, and I was planning on taking some time to sit down and figure out a way to make this all a bit more optimized and efficient, like having the crafting stations down here producing items on their own without me needing to be present... that would be incredible going forwards.

To start though, I decided that I should begin with the simpler bottles to get myself back into the groove of creating things with glass, which was a bit more complicated and intricate than metalworking in my opinion, and it was also far less forgiving compared to metalworking since there was little you could do to fix any mistakes you made with glass.

Only way to get better was to do though, so I began getting the things I needed out of my inventory and started creating glass for me to shape and cut into the shapes I wanted them to be, which would be rather... intricate even for some of the more basic bottles.

I had to also get accustomed to blowing into the blowpipe to inflate the glass and shape it into spherical shapes that would do perfectly to hold the wine we had made, though that only made me wonder how I was going to do some of the ones I had in mind with the abilities I had...

Like Prixisia's, for example, was a rather simple idea in my head but pretty hard to execute since making the bottle and then making the snake out of glass would be almost impossible to do separately, but doing it at the same time was... I had no idea where to begin.

Future me had a problem on her hands that she would need to deal with, but current me just needed to figure out if I knew how to blow correctly... which I knew both Rhefia and Sari would say yes to, but this and that were different things altogether.

Though... I would be lying if I said there wasn't a correlation between the two, so there was that I guess.

Getting the various materials out, I decided the best place to start would be with a basic bottle just to get myself back into the glassmaking headspace I would need going forwards, so I began to set everything up before placing my over abundance of sand into a special jar so that I could melt it into glass, which would then be shaped via my blow tube.
