Chapter Ninety-Five: The Invention of Glass

When Sansui heard this, he was startled at first, and suddenly bounced up from the seat he was sitting on, and almost pounced, his face changed alternately, with a little surprise, a little doubt, and a little indescribable feeling: "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting." A smile tugged at the corner of Xia Jingyu's mouth, "Qingfeng mentioned this matter to me a few days ago, and I was depressed, so I said it casually now." This is half-true, Sansui didn't know what to say, he glanced at his young master worriedly, his young master still closed his eyes, from a distance, it seemed that Yun was light and light in closing his eyes to recuperate, but Sansui's heart sank, and the young master's thoughts about Xia Jingyu ...... has been accumulating for a long time, how can he be so indifferent?

On the second day, I didn't mention the words of that day, the atmosphere in the carriage seemed to return to normal in an instant, Xia Jingyu still took Su Xiuxiu all day long, and still sometimes played with Su Cheng, talking about the scenic spots in various places, sharing all kinds of knowledge she saw from books, and occasionally interspersed with some modern novelty profiles, Sansui still appeared in a group of people with a comic image all day long, adjusting the atmosphere, and making some jokes from time to time, Xia Jingyu was never polite in the face of Sansui's embarrassing scene, It must have been laughing on the spot without an image.

Days passed, and in the sound of horses' hooves day after day, they rushed to Suzhou.

Suzhou is worthy of being a prosperous place, the hometown of wealth and wealth, entering Suzhou City, Xia Jingyu has a feeling of brightness, Wei Zeyuan personally picked up the wind and washed the dust for them, and stood far away as a very gentleman, with a humble and gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, living off the image of a handsome son, and he has been practicing for a few years outside, this person's demeanor and mind are a little deeper, Xia Jingyu stared at him, but he didn't bother to think so much, she can handle her own affairs now, it couldn't be better.

Wei Zeyuan can be described as thoughtful in everything preparation. From the beginning of the reception and dust washing banquet, to the later he handed over to Xia Jingyu's medium-sized restaurant, he bowed his hand to her with some apologies: "Knowing that the girl has a lot of expensive recipes, Wei is abrupt." Without the girl's consent, I helped the girl to take down the shop, and hoped that the girl could continue to take over, cultivate some talents, and help it spread the formality. Suzhou is prosperous. Suzhou people are also very particular about eating and drinking, and most people don't mind working hard and spending half a day to eat a good meal. ”

Xia Jingyu was taken aback by the deed laid in front of her, and when she was hesitating, she heard Wei Zeyuan smile heartily: "Girl, don't dislike this is just a medium-sized hotel, there are too many rich people in Suzhou, and I am not afraid of the girl's jokes, Wei has been working hard in Suzhou for two years, but in this Suzhou City." It's not even famous. Most of the large hotels are inextricably linked with various wealthy households, and I am afraid that even if they are down, there will be no power behind them in the early days, and it will be difficult to operate. ”

Xia Jingyu doesn't think that the scale of this hotel is not large enough, after all, Suzhou is not a stone city, a prosperous place in Suzhou, even if it is such a medium-sized hotel, it may not be an ordinary investment that can be settled, Wei Zeyuan is like this, is he showing favor to her? She considers herself to have ordinary qualifications. I don't know where I can get into the eyes of this big young master, if there is anything that can really be favored by him, it is the talent of Su Cheng behind her.

If Su Cheng develops in Suzhou for a long time in the future, get acquainted with someone like Wei Zeyuan. People who have a certain net worth and ability are also very good, so she signed this deed, which was regarded as paving the way for Su Cheng's future career, and first took care of Wei Zeyuan's connections.

Wei Zeyuan continued: "I also looked for a few properties in Suzhou. The girl can go back to inspect and inspect in person, in these few days, if the girl does not dislike it, she can live in Wei someone's courtyard first, although the scale of the courtyard is not large, but everything is complete, and there is definitely no problem in living for a while. ”

Xia Jingyu just wanted to agree, but Su Cheng refused first: "It's troublesome for Wei Gongzi, but it's somewhat inconvenient to live in someone else's house, anyway, Suzhou is prosperous, there are many hotels, and Jingyu and I are better to live in the hotel." ”

Wei Zeyuan didn't force it, he smiled very gracefully, and the etiquette was neither intimate nor rusty, so that people couldn't find faults.

During her three months in Suzhou, Xia Jingyu opened a hotel, found craftsmen to make a lot of Jenny looms, and opened a weaving factory, mainly dealing in some low-end cheap fabrics. With the help of Wei Zeyuan, this qiē proceeded extremely fast, and even she didn't bother much, just put forward her ideas, and soon Wei Zeyuan sent someone to deal with the matter, and it didn't take long for her life to be almost the same as when she was in Shicheng.

Xia Jingyu's mind at the moment is far from this. There are many large hotels in Suzhou, and there are many wealthy merchants, but her restaurant is not competitive in Suzhou, where she has not found the only special dish, and it can only be said that it is not salty and not light, although the turnover is much higher than when it was in Shicheng, but unfortunately the price of Suzhou and the price of Shicheng are not on the same level. As for the textile factory, when the history teacher brought Jenny the loom with him, he said that although the weaving speed was six times higher, the woven cloth was not as delicate and symmetrical as the Seiko weaving, Xia Jingyu didn't care about the quality of the cloth, she took the route of small profits and quick turnover, but after all, the purchasing power was limited. As for the high-end route, she doesn't dare to think about it, although she can often come up with some novel tricks, but serious rich people, willing to spend a lot of money to buy back, or the kind of layered, embroidery cloth patterns, that is a technical job, the whole Suzhou City does not have many weavers with that technology, most of them work independently at home, their cloth is already hard to find, how can she be recruited by her?

At this time, it was time to expand the financial route, Xia Jingyu's first goal was to make glass, and after her various inquiries and descriptions, it was finally determined that at this time in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no glass. This is a routine often used in travel novels, specifically, the operation is complicated, not easy to be plagiarized, or take the luxury route, as long as it is sold, it is a lot of tickets, as for the glass made, of course, it will not be used to make windows, mirrors, and cups like modern times, and it must be bought back by the rich and enshrined as a treasure.

As soon as she had this idea, she summoned Su Cheng, who stood beside her, as every time a long time ago, listening to the various materials described by Xia Jingyu from his mouth, and carefully wrote it down: "What do you want to play this time?" ”

"It's not playing." Xia Jingyu corrected her sternly, "I think this is a good business opportunity, this is the recipe I saw in an ancient book, according to the records, the finished product should be particularly beautiful, if we can succeed, we can sell this to the rich and make a lot of money." ”

Xia Jingyu has a lot of things about her, including recipes, all of which come down to what she saw in books, in fact, this is just a pronoun, and anyone who has entered Xia Jingyu's mysterious space knows that she has magical abilities, and there is no doubt about her strange methods.

Hearing these words, Su Cheng asked a few more specific questions, and when he learned the method of making zuò, Su Cheng shook his head: "This requires fire, you can't go to the real Yàn in person, what if it hurts somewhere." ”

Xia Jingyu thought about it seriously, she wasn't afraid of hurting herself, but looking at her body that had been lacking exercise for many years, it might not be realistic for her to calm down and do natural science research, if she found someone to help with the research, she couldn't rest assured, after all, this is a technical job, in case this method is plagiarized, wouldn't she lose a big business opportunity, but when she first came to Suzhou, there was no one around her who could be trusted, thinking about it, she thought of Wei Zeyuan.

"In that case, you can help me borrow some people from Wei Zeyuan." This was her final conclusion.

After Qingfeng came to Suzhou, because it was the first time he came, he was not very familiar with a qiē in Suzhou, and he didn't have too heavy tasks on his body for the time being, so he was responsible for the negotiation with Xia Jingyu, and after listening to Xia Jingyu's words, Qingfeng's eyebrows raised: "You mean, you now have a recipe in your hand, which is unique in the world when it is made, and can be sold as valuables?" ”

Xia Jingyu, who was wearing this high hat, couldn't breathe again, and she smiled wryly: "According to the records, it should be like this, but I don't know if I can make it." "You know, although modern glass is colorful and smooth, and beautiful, who knows what it looks like when it is made now.

Qingfeng asked a few words, and he was very bold to dial four or five people to Xia Jingyu, and Xia Jingyu supervised and guided the specific operation process on the side, Xia Jingyu felt that this method was good, and after a few days of busyness, under the gray face of everyone, the first piece of glass came out.

Several workers looked at the shiny substance, moved and wanted to cry, their eyes were full of crystal tears, and they looked very accomplished, Xia Jingyu stepped forward, picked up their results, pinched the uneven crystal in his hand, and faced the sun, the glass flashed a transparent luster.

Xia Jingyu looked at the flickering points of light, then at the distorted shape, and finally grinned, "This, it's so ugly." ”

The thing is successfully made, and the next thing is continuous improvement, and a certain scale of production, as well as finding a way to sell it, Xia Jingyu s eyes looked at these workers, and finally sighed weakly, it seems that Wei Zeyuan is going to trouble again. (To be continued.) )
